Civil War in Manitoba.

The excitement over the trouble between
the Manitoba Government and the Cana
dian Pacific Railway continues undated.
While the Central Pacific Road had an
armed force of nearly 1000 men guarding
the point at which the Northern Pacific
first attempted crossing, the latter set its
track layers to work under cover of dark
ness at a point three or four miles
away. A diamond crossing was put
in before morning and force of special
police left to guard it. When Super
intendent White, of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway, heard of this he went there and
with large force, and upon arriving at the
scene ordered his men to pull up the dia-
mond Resistance offered, but on
account of the overpowering numbers of the
Canadian Pacific Railway men it was very
feeble, and the Northern Pacific specials were
quickly beaten back and their crossing torn
up and carted away No one was badly in
jured in the scrimmage, but pitched battle
would have resulted if the Northern Pacific
force had been larger. Men employed by
the Government have secret instructions to
fire should they be mOlested
Special police, armed to the teeth, were set
to watch the crossing after it was made, and
any attempts to damage Government prop
erty will be resisted by people whose blood is
at fever heat by OutrageS perpetrated on them.
The Canadian Pacific Railway men, 400
strong, a late dispatch says, oVerpowered
the Manitoba Governments force, tearing
up the crossing laid down by the latter the
night before.

A Gift TO the South.

Daniel Hand a rich resident of Guilford,
Conn, has given to the American Mission
airy Association, of New York. 81 200, 600 for
the education of colored men in the old slave
States.
Mr.. Hand was grocer in Charleston, S.
c., before the war, and, being of Northern
sentiments, went North when the war broke
out, leaving all his property about $4,000,
in charge of George w. Williams, his con-
fidentiaI clerk and a Southerner. Mr.. Viii :
Jams used the property profitably during the
war, and by investment in Southern pine
lands became very rich. Six years ago
Judge Luzon B. Morris, of New Haven, coun-
sci for Mr.. Hand advised the latter to seek a
settlement with Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Williams
came to New Haven and honorably paid up
the original sum and interest, amounting to
seas, 900, sending on the last instalment two
years ago. This amount, with the accrued
interest, forms the great bulk of the sum now
returned to the South by Mr.. Hand.
The association is to have unrestricted
charge of the expenditure of the interest, ex-
cept that it must be devoted to the education
Of such colored people as are needy and in
digent, end such as by their health, strength
and vigor of body and mind give indications
