Injuries inflicted on him by one OF the hOrss

that the doctors found IL necessary 10 am
putate one of his legs.
DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH AND The SOUTH
The Duke Of Marlborough's business
acumen is testified TO by the announcement
that he has returned 10 England with OPP
| tiOns from the owners Of mineral lands In
Western Virginia and Tennessee. with q
view To inducing English capitalists TO in.
vest with him in these properties. He was
led into making a trip South by ex-hayor
A. ;. Hewitt, in which that gentleman
j)ined him. lie visited Virginia. Kentucky,
| tennessee, Alabama. ana other Southern
| states, with the result related. COTrUbOra-
ton of the report was obtained to-day
! from several friends of the Duke, who, from
| their interest in the South's Industrial de-
yelOpment, have discussed the subject with
him. All say that there is no doubt that he
was fayorabl impressed with the opporiu-
mites for profitable investment in the States
! visited. rhey could give no information,
/ however. of any definite plans the Duke bad
formed for turning HIS observations to prac-
iical account.
GOULD AND TERMINAL.
II is reported that the GOuld-Sage party
have lately purchased $jOO,OOO Of Richmond
| Terminal iiVes. and that ex-MavOr Hewitt
has bought $500 900 of the same bonds. The
prce is not stated.
RAILROAD PRESIDENTS MEETING.
The agreement made yesterday at the
meeting Of railroad presidents is considered
disappointing. The fact that neither the
Canadian Pacific nor Chicago and Alton
We're represented is considered by we'll
| posted operators a vital obstacle TO the sue
cess OF the plan, as the Canadian Pacific
can seriously interfere with the transconti-
mental arrangements, and the Chicago and
Alton will be a free lance IN the territory
! southwest Il Chicago.
JAY Gould expressed himself as very well
satisfied with what was accomplished at
the meeting. lie is confident that the
plan adopted will be entirely successful
ana Will result in great advantage TO the
RAILWAYS and the public.
PREPARING FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature Of this State viii con-
yene on Tuesday, January tn. The night
lcf0re the party caucus Of the Assembly
will be held TO determine the organization
Of that body. Mr.. Sheehan is already nOmi-
mated for Speaker and by the time the
members reach Albany Governor Hill will
have all the subordinate officers picked out
from clerk to page boys. The election Of
Senator this time will be held on January
goth.
(sMITH NJ. WEED FOR SENATOR.
Smith NJ. Weed has spent n good deal Of
the past week in Albany. He will move
into his headquarters about the LIST Of Jan
uary, where be Will hold forth until the
Senatorial election takes place. The pre-
paratiOns he has made for that contest, if
/ there is TO be a contest, ought TO leave no
room for doubt in any ones mihd that he is
a formidable candidate for the censorship.
| His friends assert that the only man who
can defeat him for United States Senator il
Governor Hill. They say "Governor Hill
cannot afford to do il. MIR. Weed and his
friends are strong enough in the Democratic
organization in this State to upset even
Governor Hill, if they should have motive
for it,"
Mr.. YOUNG RESIGNS.
John Russell Young is no longer in the
employ of the New York Herald for a Gu
rious reason. II will be remembered that
when Governor Hill put General Roger A.
Pryor on the bench Mr.. IOung gave the
Judge a dinner. Mr.. Bennett. the prOprie-
tor Of the Herald, objects to his employees
having preferences and distinctions Of their
own, and to give a dinner to public man
was therefore an offence, followed by Mr..
IOupg's resignatiOu

INTERVIEW WITH GOULD.
George Alfred Townsend publishes long
interview which he had with Mr.. Gould. A.
cording to his statement, Mr. Gould does not
favor United States bank, and thinks the
purchase u silver bullion will begin to be
felt in February, and believes that about
one hundred millions ofdOllars are boarded.
Mr.. Townsend says of him: He is a mOder
ate protectiOnist. believes We can sustain
the railroads which we have, thinks the
Interstate law has had a bad effect. that il
will be modified, and. perhaps, ultimately
laid aside. lie thinks white men at tho
South ought TO be let alone to handle The
African problem: says that Texas will get
$gu. 900, 900 his year for its cotton, and be.
ieves that Alaska may become summer
resort. He would give respectable subs
dies to steamships, and rather agrees with
thu Emperor Of Germany in his ideas of the
value OF ca slfdl SluultH. ne luinho
knowledge Of some trade no disadvantage
to any BODY, and in this connection paints
an interesting family group,
Concerning this last Mr. Gould said! II

my son George is an expert telegrapher, and
Nhen he has Travelled with me 10 the West
we generally live in our car, and switch it
of at siding. Ny son will then put on
his boots, his steel clamps OF prOngs, and
90 up the telegraph pole, attach the wire 10
his instrument In the car, and then he sends
for me all my telegraph messages. 1t
causes him no disparagement, and makes
him feel that he could get his living at all
