ZANHyILLE, July sth, 1875.
GENTLEMEN; We are not 80 happy
here as to have n street railroad. We
have been talking about one for some
time, but II has resulted In nothing rs
yet save talk. ! am proprietor Of u
bus line here, which | have been run.
ming about eighteen months, This bus
line, when first started, averaged about
ten dollars to the bus per day for
the first four months. From that it
dwindled down to about four dollars per
day, until about four months ago | put
the fare down to five cents, and since
that time 1t has gradually increased
until It now reaches about seven dollars
per day to u bus. 1t Is now paying n lit.
lie profit, have great deal more faith
In street railroad than bus line, and
am satisfied that il would pay In our city,
aud am now making arrangements so as to
shape myself to be ready to build street
railroad about q miles. II could only
find some party with II capital Of about
$4,000, willing to go in with me, | feel
certain, from my knowledge OF this place,
that il would pay here. Would like to
hear from you again.
Very truly, W. W. MINER.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-An extraOrdi

The subject OF our relations with Vene

munications from our Minister to thai
country, and stated the general facts IN
in the case. 1t may he reCOlleCted thai
in December, 1872, the President an
nounCed that tho Government Of Venezu
CIa had made no further payments son

unpaid balance of its debt TO the United

thorities, and having been acknowledged
pursuant to treaty in the most solemn
form among nations would, the President
said, seem to deserve preference over
other debts Of different origin and con-
tractCd in different manner, and he re,
commended this subject to the attention ol
Congress for such action as might be
deemed proper. In pursuance OF this re-
COmmenlation Congress in joint resolu'
lion expressed its sense in regard TO the
awards Of the Joint Commission
under the convention and Venezu.
elan Government was furnished
with copy Of the resolution which ex-
Cludes all doubt OF the earnestness OF our
government in It's demand for the pay.
mGnt Of the amount due, but there was
no satisfactory response on the part Of
the Venezuelan government. In 1873
the President in his annual message to
Congress said, ut is apprehcnded that
the government does not realize the char
acter OF its obligation under that con-
nection, as there is reason to believe,
however, that its hesitancy in recogniz-
ing them springs, in part at least, from
the real difficulty in discharging them in
connection with It's obligations to other
governments. The expediency Of further
forbearanCe on our part Is be-
lieved to be worthy Of your con-
sideration. Since then our Min
lister at Venezuela has been repeatedly
instructedto urge the payment Of the de-
ferred instAllments until at last the Vene-
zulean Government had expressed dis
position to dosO, but claims the privilege
Of designating the parties to whom the

The weather was very favorable for the
yacht race to-day, the wind at the time Of
starting blowing freshly from the south.
The beach, the hotel porches and oil other
eligible positions were crowded with spec
tatOrs. At 1928 the first gun was fired,
and the second gun ten minutes later,
when the yachts made for the line. In
about minute and half the first boat,
the schooner ldlCr, passed nnd stood on
her course with every sail drawing In
quick order, followed by the schooners
lIesOlute and Rambler. At lO43 the
schooner Mohawk, closely hngged by
schooner Eva passed out. The Sixth,the
slOOp Sadie. One after another passed
until Just before the 10 minute gun was
fired, shutting out competitors, the four.
teenth and last yacht made the line. A.
the vessels got fairly on the course and
stood out TO sea, the sight wns ex.
ceedingly beautiful, and ali were recon.
pensed for yesterdays disappointment.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the fleet came in
sight on the return trip. All were pretty
well together. BY 2:lb all were insight,
with the Eva apparently leading. Well
to windward the Mohawk appeared about
the fourth. With the fresh breeze
which had got around little,
to the west. The Mohawk crossed the
line Mt ".2G. In minute and half the
Ider passed and was received with two
guns from the Tallapoosn. In another
minute and half the Resolute sailed by
third. After an interval Of ten minutes
and half the Rambler was sNlutcd rs the
fourth, and in n minute anil half more
the Madeline came In nith. The sixth
yacht to cross the line was the Eva at
2:i5 The Dreadnnught was the seventh
at 800. The eighth was the first slOop,
the vindcx, for which the gun was fired,
nt 2:53. Next came the Sloop Sadie ut
3;O5. This makes the Vlndcx winner Of
the 81 600 prize for sloOps. The finish
was very exciting, the handling Of the
Yachts being superb.
