New YORK, December Alt is
stated in we'll informed circles that
Vanderbilt is about to retire from the
active management of his proper
ties, leaving the practical administra-
ton in the hands Of Rutter and Cor
nelius Vanderbilt.
A conference was held at the Winsor
Hotel yesterday afternoon between
Blanchard and Jewett, Of the Erie,
Mccullough, of the Pennsylvania
company, Stewart, of the Fort Wayne
road, aud others, at which contract
was made between the Erie and Penn
sylvania fora diversion of freight from
the Lake Shore to the Pennsylvania
lines. 1t is generally thought this
action indicated close alliance be-
tween the Erie and Pennsylvania and
would have depressing effect upon
the Lake Shore. 1t is reported that
the contract gives the Erie special
facilities for reaching the principal
cities connected by the Pennsylvania
system.
Itisstated the St. Paul road will earn
little over $l7, 100000 gross this year

New YORK, December 14-11 AM

day and will return this afternoon.

BY CABLE.

LONDON, December 14.-Mr. La.
bouchere, addressing his constituents,
stated be had Gladstones assurs
ance that the government would sup.
port Bradlaugh's application to take
the oath.
The Times says it is not likely that
England or any European State will
be tempted to meddle in the affairs of
South America, but such Intervention
might be necessary if European inter
ests be affected But it must not be
imagined that the European powers
can acquiesce in very wide extern
sion in the Monroe doctrine implied
in Mr.. Blaine's dispatch. An inter-
vention for the protection Of European
interests is as rightfully claimed by
the powers as it is by the United
States for the protection of their in
terests in China and Japan.
TUNIs, December l4.-Italy has ap-
proved of the conduct of the Italian
Consul in protesting against the
French occupation Of TuniS and re-
fused to withdraw the protest. The
Italian authorities continue to ignore
the French ProteCtorate, and have
sent man-of-war to Susa.
PARIS, December 14.-Paul Bert,
Minister of Public instruction and
Worship, has written to all the pre-
lotes who attended the canonization
ceremony in Rome, reminding them
Of the previous concondat requiring
them to obtain permission Of the gov
ernment before leaving their dioceses.
DUBLIN, December 14.-Kelly,
Town Counsellor of Tralee, was ar
rested yeterday after leaving meeting
of suspects for the maiutainence fund
at Rotunda, charged with intimida-
tion. Kelly was previously imprisoned

Now that Tennessee's penitentiary
has burned down, all save the walls,
VIC think it a proper time to bring
forward the view long since expressed
in this Journal that the State prison
should be removed from Nashville
entirely and set up in some thinly
settled but accessible locality. The
Legislature at the present extra ses-
sion has no power to act in regard
to the matter as this is not one of the
subjects included in the Governors
call. But it is possible that there
will be another extra session and it is
only little over a year until newly
elected Legislature will meet. Tho
penitentiary was large enough and
perhaps seemed far enough out Of
town when it was built some forty
years ago. Now it would not
if rebuilt hold comfortably
more than one-third of the
convicts Of the State. The population
Of the State has nearly or quite doubled
since the penitentiary was built, and
crime has increased in a still greater
proportion on account Of the war and
its subsequent demonstration. Nash
vile, from a small town without a
a railroad when the peniten-
tiary was built, has grown
up to be a railroad, manufacturing and
educational center Of fully $4,000 peo.
pie, and the anomalous spectacle is
presented Of a dark frowning peniten.
tiary fanked on either side by lead
ing university of the South and sur
rounded by villages that but for its
blighting presence would smile and
expand. 1t is the one foul blot
on a page so fair-a menace
to growing city, which seems to say
from its black walls, Thus far thou
shalt come, and no further" What
is left of it should be razed to the
ground, and the ground plowed up,
and a new penitentiary should be
built, say near Manchester, where the
people desire to have it-but anywhere
save in or around growing
city or town. As managed
Of late years this institution
has been a source of revenue. This,
if properly applied, would build
new, commodious and healthier peni
tentiary than the old one ever was, in
the course of not many years. No
revenue already collected need be
taken from the Treasury for the pur-
pose. We throw out these ideas now
and will advocate the policy indicated
more freely and forcibly when the
time approaches for decisive action.

Captain Lee reports it to have been

overdue here, had not arrived up to
the hour of going to press. The Lee

to be declined on the upward passage
owing to the ugly condition Of the
elements and the fact that the steamer
was behind time.
