The much-talked of agreement between the Mutual Union and the Western Unton telegraph companies, by which the latter lease the property of the former company, was completed in New York Saturday. The lease 1s for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and the considerations are the guarantee of the principal and interest of the $5,(00,000 bonds of the Mutual Union and 13g Per cent yearly upon its $10,000,000 of stock. The Western Union assumes all contracts for service, man. ALL press and individual, and for leased wires made by the Mutual Union. The fixed yearly charges as- sumed by the Western Union company amount to $500,000," The present gross earniigs of the Mutual Union lines are offictaliy sald to be at the rate of $1,600,000 a year, of which at least two-thirds is re- quired for operating expenses. The lease was Fatified Saturday by the directors of both com- panies, and will be ratified by three-fifths of the stockholders of both, as required by law. The Mutual Union will, of course, maintain its formal organization, and one or two of its original direc- tors may in time be elected into the Western Union directory. The property to be turned over to the Western Union as soon as the details of the lease can be arranged consists of about 46,000 miles of wire and offices n all principal nts between Portland, Me., and Chicago and St. Louis. GEN. GRANT AND THE MEXICAN Treary.—Gen. Grant has been Interviewed touching the Mexican treaty. He says the treaty presents very great ad- vantages for the United States and for Mexico. Mexico must inevitably become a large commer- clal country, increasing in importance from year to year in a very rapid ratio; and if we fail now to use this first opportunity that we have had of cul- tivating closer relations, it is not only possible but. very probable that it will be many years before we can expect another opportunity of negotiating such a treaty. BIshor SIMPsON’s SILVER MINE EXPERIRNOR.— Bishop Matthew Simpson, of the Methodist Epis. copal church, who was in'the city yesterday, said, in conversation with a representative of the Balti? more Sun, that his experience with the Isabella silver mining company of California, im which a ‘arge amount of money has een sunk by Meth- odists and others, him abouc $600. It was represented to him that if a certain amountof the stock Was subscribed by friends of the East Ten- nessee Wesleyan University at Athens, Tenp., the promoters of the mine would endow handsomely the university. Rey. John F, Spence, president of the institution, endorsed the scheme, and Prot, Caldwell,. chemist of the university, who had visited California and assayed the ore ‘taken from the mine, pronounced it very rich. ‘This all looked so plausible that the bishop, in his desire to help the institution, subscribed $600 to the stock. His only idea was to aid the university, and not to take any part In the proceeds himself. He did not blame anyone but himself, ‘THe ISABELLA MINING AGAIN.—The dis- closures made in regard to the Isabella mining ‘scheme in New York have created some bitterness among the members of the Methodist church. A prominent member of the churgh, a lawyer by the name of Russell, in an interview printed in the York Herald yesterday denounces the to force the sale of this stock, t_a Rev.
