NEW PLOT AGAINST THE LIFE OF THE CAR.
:. fAdvices at London of Jan. 25, from
st. Petersburg give some interesting details
of the recent arrests in Moscow. Severalsper-
sons have been arrested by the police. From
the preliminary examination to which per-
sons have been subjected, it appears that a
plot was on foot in7every way similar to that
of the first of December, both as to the aim in
view, and the means by which it was to be at
tanned. The conspiratsrs intended to blow
up the czar on his next journey to Moscow.
It was in the palace of Leemlin that the re.
volutionists wished to punish the czar for the
obstinate resistance with which he met their
demands for reform, and liberties. :, w-s> (

e. The House committee on postoffices
and post roads agreed to report fayorably the
bill providing that the postmaster general
shall readjust in accordance with the act Of
June ~, 1866, the salaries Of all postmasters
Of the third. fourth and fifth classes, whose
salaries haven't heretofore been areadjusted,
who make direct official application or sworn
returns of receipts and business for readjust,
meut, and whose quarterly returns show that
they were intended = for readjustment,
and subsequent to the law Of 1876
such adjustments to date from the
beginning of the quarter succeeding that in
which the application or sworn reports, were
made. e.. - So,
ENGLISH GRAIN,
The Mark Lane E1press says: The
farmers have made up good portion of their
time as regards wheat sowing, butsince Wed
nesday renewed wintry weather has again
caused some check. The autumn sown grain
Is terminating so slowly that in some districts
1t is feared the seed has been destroyed by
recent frosts, but generally speaking it is
thought that the situation, il not equally
promising, offers few grounds of anxiety at
this early stage. The quality and condition OF
home grown wheat offered in Mark Lane and
provincial markets is unimprovcd and millers
almost totally neglect samples andln the few
cases where decent samples are ssoffered sales
are only practicable at decline of shilling
per quarter, imports of foreign wheat arc
again moderate, and have mostly gone into
the granary as the consumptive demand has
been very inanimate. Lack of confidence ia
becoming apparent in trade. Stocks are in
creasing, not only in London, but in Marseilles
and in Bordeaux, while the quantity of wheat
afloat still exceeds 100000, and while the
further decline in New York augurs unfavor-
ably for the success of the American specula-
ton for a rise. The presence of important
stocks in French ports is sufficiently signif-
cant, as the action of France was counted on
to relieve Great Britain of fair proportion
of the supply on passa &c. The rapid and
marked decline in maize of three shillings in
three weeks is owing to the scarcity of ship
ments from America. According to present
appearances America has quite enough to do
to manage its wheat SO that there should be
plenty of time to recover the decline in maize
which was brought about principally by tim
idity. Arrivals at ports Of call have been mod
crate. There was fair business in wheat car
goes at decline Of six pence to shilling per
quarter on red winter and spring American,
and!a shilling to shilling sixpence per quarter
on Ghirka description. Maize sold steadilyat
barely lastweek's prices. Little demand for
wheat for shipments, though sellers were more
inclined to meet buyers views. There was
moderate inquiry for maize and barley at a
decline of 600 pence per quarter. Sales OF
English wheat last week 22s7l quarters at
As shillings II pence against 52,14 quarters
at as shill lngs IL pence. the Corresponding
week the previous year. Imports into the
United Kingdom the week ending January
10th were 836.187 weights wheat, 215,84l
weights of flour. l,.
SOUTH AMERICA EARTHQUAKES.
Advices to January 21st, state that vio-
lent shocks of earthquakes are reported in
Salvador, and much damage is feared in the
interior. In L.. Libertas, on the night of the
1st inst. the earth seemed literally to be dane
ing. Persons on the street were thrown down
and many buildings suffered. It was general
ly apprehended San Salvador had been level
ed to the ground. All who could leave that
capital had done 80. Many business men
kept their animals saddled prepared for fight.
The Lake Of nopargo was in motion like q
boiling cauldron, emitting dense sulphurous
vapors. Industries of all sorts are suspended,
the terrified inhabitants being only concern
ed about their safety. The government has
used every means in its power to calm the
populace, and has furnished facilities for tray
Ell and ample protection against lawlessness
and robberies.
ELECTORS IN NEW YORK.
The bill introduced in the New York
legislature providing that Presidential elect
ors shall be chosen by Congressional districts
instead of the general State ticket is attract
ing considerable attention in Washington. A
great many representatives favor it, both on
the ground that they consider it a most fair
system, and because they think it would make
certain twenty-four electoral votes from the
State Of New York. 1t is urged by some of
the New York representatives in Washington
that 1t would make the canvass less bitter, as
neither party, under such a, system, could
hope to carry the whole State, and that the
passage of such bill would havh beneficial
effect on the Republican national convention.
For instance, the State of New: York could not
then promise its entire electoral vote for 5any
one candidate. The Democrats, on the other
hand, insist that 1t is revolutionary project
entirely in the interest of the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency, and
the fact of its introduction is confession of
doubt on the part of the Republicans of their
ability to win in the national contest.
