The Probable End of ~ Vexed
Question.
Courier-Journal, May IL

AAd9 AsI
Mr.. B. Frank Guthrie and Henry
G. Murrell got home on tie one
o'clock train this morning from New
York, but Mr. Newcomb will not prob
ably return for a couple of weeks to
come. A Courier-J Journal reporter
met the railroad gentlemen at the
head of Jefferson street, and fired a
few questions at them in regard to the
new express company, and the disso-
luton of the Union express company.
The gentlemen were ready to impart
any information in their possession,
and substantiated the reports already
published.
"Is it true that the Union express
has sold out to the i. q NJ" asked
the reporter of Mr.. Guthrie.
"Yes," answered he, the Union
has sold out to the i. & N. road, and
that company will conduct its express
business over its own lines"
"What effect will the change make
in the mode Of conducting the bust
ness2" asked the reporter.
"There will be no change the bust
ness will be carried on by the i. Il N.
just as the Union has carried it on
heretofore. The present system will
be sustained under the general super
intendency Of Mr.. Rose.
"Will the business which the Union
Express company now controls on
other roads than the j. & N. be con-
Quoted by that road ?"
"The i. & N. will conduct the bus
mess over its own lines, but not on
other roads,"
rs not this move a virtual wiping
out of express companies2"
"A great many people who are
posted think 50; at least that this is
the beginning of the end"

session of the state conven-

speeches by the two leaders, and the
appointment of committee on creden-
tials satisfactory to both. The re-
Cancellation between the rivals was
brought about by the leaders of the
rural delegations, and shows pretty
plainly that, whatever heart
burnings may have existed among the
Pennsylvania democrats in the past,
they are determined to unite this
year. The republican party should
not fail to note this and similar cir
cumstances in other places, and put
forward their strongest man-the can

NIirngc ON the RiYer.

In the last number Of Frank Les
lies Illustrated Newspaper appears a
picture of singular mirage, as wit
messed by the officers of the steamer
Shields on the night Of April 10th.
The boat was lying at Commerce
landing, thirty miles below this port,
taking on wood, when one of the pi-
lots looked up and in the fog beheld
what he thought to be a steamboat
bearing down upon them. Thinking
that his eyes were deceiving him (for
he had taken a glass of beer the day
previous), he had the other officers to
look at the strange phenomenon, and
all pronounced it singular mirage
tor the boat was the very image of the
Shields.

CONSISTENCY is said to be a jewel.
Here is a specimen. One day the
Avalanche indicts the water company
for spreading a nuisance. The com
pany concludes, if it is so decided,
that in as much as they have no title,
they will not pay for nuisance, and
as all money spent on extensions
would be lost, they will make no
more. And then the Avalanche is
Mortified, and indicts again because
they will not throw away several
thousand dollars in a further spread
of the nuisance.

BERLIN, May 3.-The proceedings
in the German reichstag Saturday
seem to show that the rights and lib
critics Of Hamburg are seriously
threatened. Wolfsohn and other
members interpellated the govern
ment, inquiring whether Prussia will
be allowed to enclose st. Paul's
within the Zolloerein without first de-
manding the consent of the city Of
Hamburg, according to the constitu-
tio1. The government replied eva
sively. Herr Scholz, under secretary
of state, said the government were not
bound to reply to questions embodied
in Interpolation, but he had the
honor, nevertheless, in the name anC
by commission of Bismarck, to answer
that Prussia had done precisely as wa
suspected. She had not preyiousl,
negotiated with Hamburg on the sub
lject, and she contemplated the inclu
sion Of st. Paul's in the customs
sphere, with or without the consent o
Hamburg. There were facts, he said
on the concealment of which no stres
had been laid, but Reichskangle
must decline to enter into discussion
of them for the purpose of justifyin
or defending them from legal or an
other point of view. Since the regar,

position of the federal council pre-
vented him from treating with par

Congressmen and Poker.

Speaking of the congressman who
used to play poker, Washington cor
respondent says: One | know was
reformed. He was a member Of the
house from western state, who was
considered a very good fellow, but
nothing else. He is now a rever.
end senator, and is too awful
ly good to do anything worse
than to teach Sunday
school. Time was when he could
strip his suspsnders down, cock cigar
in his mouth, and raise the blind
five hundred dollars on pair of aces
without winking. And he could
drink his bottle of brandy of night,
too, and look like a blushing school
boy in the morning" Can it-but it
cannot be the gentleman from Illinois

letter from Mr.. Hermany, the dis

report as to water supply from the

Appeal, in connection with the Her
many report is, if any reliance is to
be placed in engineers and chemists, a
conclusive settlement Of the question.
The Appeal says editorially, with
great truth, 'all his positions are vol
taken. He fortifes himself with the
reports of engineers and chemists Of
established repute, and proves that
filtered, "Wolf river water affords the
third in the list Of waters for domestic
usein the United States" and the same

, is sixteen on the list, with annual in
