Coy LIDATION OF REVENUE Districts. By order of the President. the ten collectio 1 distviets of Massachusetts been con- solidated into five districts, as follows: Ist distriet, C. B. H. Fessenden, collector; 3d do., CW, Slack, do.; 5th do., C. C Jo; Sth do.. Adin Thayer, do.; 10th do., E. R. Finker, do. Tue arrangement of the districts as above avoids new nominations and confirmations. It is estimated that the consolidation will save at least $25,¢00 per annum to the gov- ernment. of The Pixcw sAck.—There will probably be three reports made irom the Senate Committee on Privileges aud Elections in the case of Pinch- »ack—one (the majority report) signed by Mortoa, Anthony, Lozan, Mitchelland Wad- leigh in favor of his admission; one by Ham- ilton and Saulsbury against it, and ene by Aleorn against it, unless the Senate should re umize the Kellogz government, in which M se he will vote for the admisston ot ehback.

Competition was invited irom Ameri- can artists, a number of whom sent models to the capital for inspection, no one of which was accepted, on account of a disagreement between the Senate anu House members of the committee. At the last session of Con- gress the selection of an artist was referred to a commission consisting of the Secretary of the Navy, General Sherman, and Mrs. Parcagut, the Admiral’s widow. ‘The «ward was made by this commission to Miss Vinnie Keam, of this cit signed yesteriay by Secretary Robeson aad Miss Ream for its execution. Itis under- stoo! that Mrs. Farragut, after examiuias the models of competitors, was very decide in her preference for the one executed by Miss Ream.

THE BROOKLYN MINISTER WHO AT- TEMPTED SUICIDE— About 4 p.m. yesterday Protessor J. G. Barton, aged filty-five, of No. 70 Lee avenue, Brooklyn, while crossing Roosevelt street ferry, gave his umbrella to a little boy, and, proceeding leisurely to the rear of the boat, jumped into the river, The boy raised an alarm just as Professor Barton cleared the guards, and the deck hands made strenuous efforts to save him, which, after a Search of ten minutes, peoved successful. When rescued Professor Barton was ia an apparently inanimate condition, and was cArried to the fourth precinct station-house, where a police surgeon attended him, and, having restored consciousness, seat him to the Park hospital. Professor Barton held the ebair of rn literature at the College of the City of New York, and constant study of late had tpleegeans 3 unsettied his mind, as a letter was sent by him yeste.day to Dr. Part- ridge, of Christ church, Brooklyn, whose son married Professor Barton's daughter, which was so incoherent as to excite alarm, and in- duce Dr. Partridge to leave for New York to ascertain what was the matter with the pro- fessor.—N.

No, said counsel, for that was not the law as it was known in New York. Adultery was no! a erie or offence in New York, and was not now. — THE RAILROAD FREIGHT WARK.

There is not the least doubt that the fight will be continued until a majority of the roads will be prostrated and have to go into the hands of receivers. The general pas. the east consulting wil it is stated that the ke Shore and Michigan Southern railroad sassenger rates to-morrow, aud at the int L other lines will have to follow suit. The war between the Great Westera and Grand Trank is still carried on vigor ously, and the Grand Trunk ix taking pas- sengers from Detroit to Buffalo for anything it can get. Railroad managers in this city contemplate a reduction of Uoe wages of their employes, including engineers, of 10 per cent The im tobe unable to continue to pay us Ligh wages now as heretofore. The engi- neers threaten to strike in case of a reduc- lion, and the prospects are that railroad busi- ness in the west will before long come to a dead-lock.
