The Prospects at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-The Jockey club has
always been far ahead of any club in the
world in the number of horses that congregate
at the spring meetings, but this year the in
crease has reached proportions almost incred-
ible, as there will be over 800 thoroughbreds
gathered from the East, West, North and
South. Such an array has
neve been seen in any county.

his racing form, while Milton Hounge's game
pair, Getaway and Bootjack, have both dem

The horses in the country have been short of

There is much excitement all over the country

TELEGRAPH CONSOLIDATION.

The Fact Acknowledged, But the Terms
Withheld Until Ratified.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The terms on which
the Western Union company lease the North
western telegraph company have not been
made public. The lease will be for ninety nine
years, but until it shall have been ratified by
the directors of both companies the officers
will decline to make known the conditions
of the agreement signed by the
presidents of both companies. There is said
to be no reasonable doubt the contract will
be approved by the board of directors. The
Northwestern company, in fact authorized the
president to arrange such an agreement before
he started for New York. President Greene,
of the Western Union company, declined yes
terday to make public the terms of agreement
He said the lease has not been approved, and,
that until it was, the public had no right to
know the terms of the agreement. He added,
it is sufficient to say, that lease has been
agreed on by the officers of
the two companies. 1 believe it will be
approved unless some of our incipient rivals
should offer better terms. 1t is reported q
new telegraph company was TO be formed which
would succeed to the property Of the Western
Union company. Similar rumors were
circulated about the time of consolidation of
the Western Union and Atlantic & Pacific
companies. The rumor now set afloat is to
the effect the headquarters of the new company
will be at Bayonne, N. j., which is
the home of the American cable company.
DR.. Norvin, president of the Western Union
company, said yesterday he had heard nothing
about such a company.

most are mechanics, small traders and
retired soldiers. There are 1,S0O

their relief. Disturbances also occurred at
Boqorki and Vasselkoff. A mob threw stones
at train bearing Jewish refugees, and the en-
gineers declined to proceed, fearing the train
would be upset. Reinforcements of infantry
and dragons have arrived in the disturbed

GEN. THOMAS.
A Discriminating ReUietc of Gen. r. W
Johmson's Biography.
New York Evening Post.]

Johmso,1s Biography.
New York Evening Post.]
Brigadier- General Richard W. Johnson, who
was associated with General George II. Thom-
as for thirteen years, and whose opportunities
for learning both the facts and the significance
of that soldiers life were therefore excellent,
has prepared an orderly biography of his
chief, which is published in one octave vol
ume of moderate size.
1t Is true that more might have been made of
the picturesqueness of Gen. Thomas's career
| than Gen. johnson has made of it, but we
doubt that a more picturesque writer would
| have given us so faithful biography. Gen.
johnson has performed his task conscientious
| ly, in admirable temper, and with marked
ability, especially in the matter of making
| clear to all classes Of readers the conditions
| and the problems of complex military opera
| tions. In brief, the author is a faithful
chronicler intent upon setting forth his facts
with precision, and able to do SO successfully,
| and these are the essential qualifications for
| the particular task here undertaken.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the work
| is valuable. Every honest contribution to the
history of our civil war is SO, and more es-
pecially when it's subject includes what we
may call capital events of the war-events,
that is to say, which were determinative in
bQtlT UdtuTcs
General johnson has confined himself as
strictly as was possible to the biographical
function. He has written of historical events
only SO far as it was necessary to do so in tel
ling the story of Gen. Thomas's life, and then
only for the purpose of telling that story. The
temper in which the task has been performed
is admirable. Not only is the book free from
oil bitterness toward the South; the author
also takes pains to avoid all
unnecessary criticism of the men with
whom Gen. Thomas had to deal on his own
side. He rightly thinks it unnecessary to i'm
pute blame to those whose judgment ran
counter to Thomas, or to critieIse others by
way of exaltlng him. Even in dealing with
the events of that anxious waiting time when
the President. Gen. Haleck and Gen.
Grant were telegraphing hourly, requiring
Thomas to attack before he was ready, and
when his removal was not only contemplated
but actually ordered because he would not
make the attack which he was commanded to
make but which his judgment forbade-even
in dealing with that matter General john
son has taken pains simply to set forth the
facts without asperity; and while he is con-
vinced that Thomas was right In his judgment
and act, he makes it perfectly clear that he
does not think that the President or General
Grant were in sny way to be criticised for
their course. 1t is in this spirit that the book
is written, and we need not say that it is q
spirit which tends to truth and accuracy and
Justice to historical writing.
