4 THIRTY YEARS AGO, —_—a_-____ The First Agitation of a Broadway Surface Road, MAYOR KINGSLAND'S VETO. Opinions Then Expressed Compared with Those of To-Day. Tho offer of a gentleman in this city, on behalf of himself and associates, to fay to the city $1,250,000, for the franchise to run a horse car railroad on Broadway, from the Battery to Central Park, bringa to mind the large number of propositions of a similar nature which were made to the Common Council nearly thirty years ago, The people had become tired of the omnibus Lines and eagerly welcomed the new system of travel, With the aid of the railroads both of the avenues above named had become prosperous. The price of property had risen in value, and a large number of property owners on Broadway had apparently been convinced that a rail- rond was the only way to enhance the value of real estate on the thorougffare. Some of the richest property owners, however, took a different view of the subject. They argued that imstead of beuefit- ing thetr property a railroad would ruin it; but, notwithstanding the opposition to the project, no less than seven petitions were presented to the Board of Aldermen from persons desiring to secure the franchise. . THR OFFERS, Thomas A. Davies agreed to give $100,000 per an- num for ten years, and to pay $1,000 license fees. A petition was presented, signed by John La Farge and others, in which they agreed to charge only three cents fare, One cent for exch passenger carried was the price which Watts Sherman was willing to pay for the franchise. William McMurray and Henry Hilton offered to give a bonus of $100,000 per annum to the city, Henry Betts did not agree to anything in particular, but bis application was sent in. A last petition was received from the late Alexander T, Stewart, who was willing to pay $1,000 license foe and to turn into the city treasury one cent for each passenger. All these petitions were referred to a special committee, but no action was taken on the subject until a resolution was introduced in the Board giving the franchise to “Jacob Sharp, Peter B. Sweeny, James W. Foshay, Freeman Campbell, William B. Reynolds, Joseph Gaunt, I. Newton Squire, William A. Mead, David Woods, John L. O'Sullivan, William L, Pullis, Jonathan Roe, John W. Hawkes, James W. Faulkner, Henry Du Bois, John J. Hollister, Preston Sheldon, Johu Andorson, John R. Flanagan, Sergent V. Bagley, Charles B. Waite, Robert E. Rig, Thomas Ladd, Conklin Sharp, Samuel L, ‘Titus, Alfred Martin, D. R. Martin, William Menzies, Charles H. Glover, Gershon Cohen and such persons as might associate themselves with these gentle- men.” The Board of Aldermen numbered among its members at the time of the introduction of the above petitions the late William M. Tweed, Thomas J. Barr, John Boyce, Dudley Haley and others, All the City Fathers but two—Aldermen Ward and Pearsall—were friendly to Mr. Peter B. Sweeny’s petition, and the special committee, after holding several sessions, agreed to make a report on the subject in 1852, Four of the committee decided to support Swoeny’s pro- ject, but Alderman Ward, who was one of the mem- bers, refused to concur, THE MAJORITY REPORT. The report of the majority of the committes was exhaustive and long, making over forty pages of the printed proceedings. Atter giving a short history of the various applications that had been made to the Board for the franchise the report says that “the result upon the minds of the committee has been a decided conviction in favor of the projected improve- ninnt in the system of passenger travel on our great ecntral thoroughfare. They are satisfied that a rail- road is indispensable, way, for the conveniengc of the vast Increasing pas- gener travel and tor the accommodation of the other clasres of vehicles which resort, or which want to resort, to that noble strect, justly the pride and de- ight of our city.’” The report then refers in an ex- tended argument to the success that had at that time attended the railroad experiment on Eighth ave- nue, und states that car travel ‘is much better” than riding in an omnibus. A large amount of space in the report is devoted to a setentific discussion of the Felative #peed of cars over omnibuses. More than ter of the report is taken up in au account 0: the “advantages” to be gained by having @ raitroad on Broadway. ¥ ‘THE MINORITY REPORT. The miuority report was signed by but one of the Special committee, Alderman 5. H. L. Ward. This an in his document, which, unlike that of bis has the merit of being short and to the Fotnt. fiercely combats the project for the construc: jon of the propose railroad, amd in some cases that facts given in the majority report have y misstatel."" The reportoft Alderman 1ins nO arguinent whatever against the building of a raiirosd on Broadway, the objection being mainly to giving the franchise for compara- nothing to the petitioners favored by Mr. “son the committee.

A motion w. trade to adopt the resolution and conditions to the report of the majority of the conumittes, and it was coveurred in, the yote standing iG to 2 Al- fermen Pearsall and Ward being in the negntive, During the debate on the adoption of the resolutions pomnw very exeiting scenes oceurred, Charges of bribery and corruption were openly made against gertain of the City Fathers, and order was uot re- stored until some time.

The Board of Aldermen have now before them two bids for the right to construct a railroad on Broad- way, One bears the names of August Belmont, Willian H. Appleton, Hezron Johnson and others, and the other is signed by John Sloane, Pierre Loril- lard, William Barton, A. V, Stout and their associ- ates. Both of theso rival associations, or by whatever name y be led, have agreed to self-imposed’ condi- ~~ if they should receive the grant. Al- erman Morris, who introduced into the Common Council a resolution fog August Belmont and his associates the privilege of running a railrcad on Broadway, said yosterday, in conversation with a reporter, that if the gentleman who made the offer ublished in Sunday’s HruaLp would agree to all tie promised, and fo what was agreed to by Mr. Bet- mont and his friends, he would willingly introtuco a resolution into tle Board of Al giving him the franchise. The Alderman further svid that he was authorizea to say for dir. Belmont and others that the latter would also support the gentleman above alluded to if he kept to his agreement. HOW TO BUILD A BROADWAY BAILEOAD AND WHO SHOULD BUILD IT, To Te Eprror or THE HRRaup:— As @ representative of Broadway property, and having conferred with other owners of Broadway property who favor the plan, 1 desire to subinit through your valuable paper tho following plan for constructing a railroad on saidistreet, whereby each property kolder and the city, for what property it controls, will be a party recipient of benefits ac- eruing from said road, proportionate with the amount of property they represwnt:—There aro about one thousand lots of twenty-five foet front each on State, Whitchall etreet and Broad- way, from South Ferry to and around Union square. To construct a double track from Seventeenth street to South Ferry (by contract) would cost—say about $300,000 (which I think is Ingh). Permit the owner ot property to pay for tho single track-laying directly in front of his property, and for such outlay he to receive ten shares of stock of the company for each twenty-five feet of track built or paid for by him, which wouid not exceed $250 per lot. The company to be formed and stock distributed as followg:—15,000 shares capi- tal stock of company, at $100, par vulne, per share, $1,500,000, wibution :—Ten shares to each of the 1,000 pieces of property, provided the owner of Pe ys Ba30 Yor building track in front of each and every piece of his property, producing $260,000; ten shares for each of the eighty-tive lots owned by city in park, City Hall square, &c., to be given the city, $85,000; 4,150 shares, balance (together with :tock representing property whose owner will not pay the $250 for euch lot), to be sold in lots of 100 shares to the highe# bidder, from among the members of the company, the cash thus derived to yo for laying the tracks at cross strects, by ‘k, &c., build curs and equip the road; said 4,150 shares will bring not less than seventy-five cents on the dollar, $311,250; 15,000 shores by this plan producing $561,250, or more for building and equipping road, other lines of cars running on tracks to pay for privilege. The reasons why this plan should be carried out are—First, Broadway property is taxed enough to warrant the owners of property to have this road as aslight relict; second, if franchise is granted to afew or cliuge, or either the Fourth avenue or Broadway and Seventh avenne lines, their interests will cause them to neglect others by looking after it and their own to the injury of others’ property, by only half cleaning and taking care of the street—such is the caso with all roads now in operation, Thirt—If the through rofds patronize the tracks of the company the proceeds from such right will pay their portion for kecping street in good condition. Fourth—It the city gots a million for franchise, or grants it to any of the applicants now in the field, who are those applicants bound to respect, they having bonght the right to do just as they please? Fitth—! this road is such “ponanza”’ Broadway property owners might as well haye it as to allow it to go to already rich cor- porations, or to aliow our politioal friends to run their fingers through a cool million and call it the city. W.v. A. MURDER AMONG MOONSHINERS, DETAILS GF THE REVENUE RAID AND RESULT- ANT HOMICIDE IN MOORE COUNTY, NoRTH CAROLINA—SECRET DETECTIVES CARRYING ON UAACIT DISTILEBRIES—A QUARREL AND ITS FATAL CONSEQUENCES. CanTHacE, Moore County, March 12, 1879, ‘The excitement in this county consequent upon the killing of S. W. Seawoll by one'N. B. Taylor Isat | Thursday is on the increase, and judging from the well known tomper of the people and the general opinion that the killing@nd all the attondant cireum- stanées were atrocious in the extreme, I would not be surprised an avy moment to hear that Taylor. had been qaptured and summarily dealt with by Sea- wall’s outraged and infuriated friends. Such things often happen in this section on smaller pretext than this. THE MEN AND THR QUABREL. Taylor and Seawoll were both, in 9 certain sense, outiawe. Both were cmployod as socret detectives by tho revenue department of the government, and both were violating the very law under which they were employed, Heawell being the proprictor of an illicit distillery and Taylor owning two blockade eatablishments of the same onaracter, Both of theso worthies were coguizant of each other's operations and were regarde’ as frionds. About a month ago they bad a misunderstanding about some trivial matter which led to warm words between them, and from words they came to blows. Scawell being physically the best man Taylor got the worst of the fisticuf, and from that time an intense hatred toward Seawell rankedin his bosom, Not being ablo to get even with bis adversary by the power of musclo Taylor was determined to gratify his ant moeity in some way, and he concetved the ides of reporting Seawell’s illicit distillery, and he at once wont to Revenue Officor Moore and made known to him the fact that Soawell was engaged in “moon- shining” and gave him also the location of the establishment. Officer Moore at once mado a raid upon Senwell’s crooked manufactory, captured his implemeuts and carried them to Rgypt, the nearest railwey station, for shipment to Raleigh. Taylor's whiskey factories oll this time were in fall and suc- ccestnl operation. THE MURDER. A few days after the bo ld of Seawell’s distillery Revenue Officer Womble passed through the com- munity, and Seawoli, hy way of retaliation, reported Taylor, whose distilleries, two in‘ namber, were seized, eding wayon under the care of Seawell and half » dowen others and eterted to Fgypt. Taylor and Moore having heard of the capture and betmg in the neighborhood, immediately came , ‘the ‘but ‘too’ Inte. The capture end the spoils were in the hands of the v ta jors, After considerable conenl- jon between Officers Moore, Womble and lor, in view of Seawell and hie posse, they all throc rede off together in one direction, and Seaweil, with his wagon, peat of inen and etilis, plodded on toward Ecypt. ‘About dork they struck camp at Mra Mefae’s, in this county, near Eapbronia Church, Port of the crowd went into the house to eat supper, while Seawell, with the other part, remained to guard the property. After they returned Seawell went to leaying them to ard. During this time Tr ‘was heard, near by, to eul! Stadord Finivon, one of the poxso,,.who immediately went out to him and remained about Stteon minutes. In the mean- time Heaweil had returned aud, assisted by some of his men, was foliage the stilis out of the wagon to jock them yp, In the house. Fenison had aluo como ack from his interview with by be} and was etaud- ing near by when o ghot was fired; then another, when the whole crowd ran off in dismay, Seawell walked a few yards and fell, his heart being pierced with a pistol ball, He lived bat afew imoments and Rever uttered a word, Taylor thon ordered tho drivers to haul the captured property beck to the place from whence it was brought, threatening to shoot them beth if it wns not immediately done, ‘The body of Seawell was left lying where It felf until it was taken up by friends the next morning. THE MURDERER'S RecaPK, lor went home, made some necessary arrango- ments and took to the woods and is still at large, though vigoroue effyrts have bhen made for his ap- rehension. J. 8. Fintson, J. W. Shields and Eli rady were arrested for aiding and abetting in tho font deed, t! 4% the parties present when ono of their pumber waa called out and interviewed by ‘Thetr pretiminary examination was had bofore a justice on last Sarnrd These men were defended betore the justice by able legal talent, but the evidence wae of such a nature the justice sent Finison and Shields to jatl to await the ection of the be copy nd released Brady. The evi jaced on the preliminary Pemeing of these men strongly points to the gnilt of OMlece: Moore os an accessory, anc & warrant for his arrest was issued. The warract will be exeented, and Moore's preliminary trial will take place on tho 1sth of this month. Others are still snspected of erimi- nal knowledge of Taylor's intentions or complicity in his bloody work.

GENEMAL THOMAS W. SHERMAN, General T, W. Sherman, who has been ill for two weeks, died at bis residence on Greenough place, Newport, RB. I, at a quarter to throe o'clock yester day afternoon. His death following so close after that of his wile ronders the oven ‘unusually sad. His condition on Saturcay was more favorable to all out~ ward appearance than it had been since his illness. Conscious that he was rapidly approsching his end, he sent on Saturday for Mr, W. P. Sheffield, whom he desired to draw up his will, This was a tedious task, requiring nearly three houre. Atten o'clock Satur- day night he was quite restloss and sedative medicine was given him by the nurse. Atone o'clock yester- day morning his condition began to change rapidly for the worse, and he continued to sink until four o'clock, when Dr. Birckhead was summoned, His regular physician, Dr. David Ring, who had associated Dr. Bircknead; with him in the early stages of the General's sickness, arrived at eight o'clock. The medicine given him by Dr. King seomed to revive him, and he showed signs of improvement up to half-past twelve o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he again became restless. He pgked his physicians caimly :—"Have you any doubts? Is there no hope for me?” He was informed that his pulso was good and was urged to keep up his courage. He was then raised up in his bed, but grow worse soon after. He was perfectly conscious and informed the sorrowing friends at his bedside that he knew ho should soon leave them. His son, his only child, and Captain Charles C. Churchill, General R. H. Jackson and Colonel Royal T. Frank, all of the United States Army; Mrs, Keeler, his sister-in-law, and Dr. Birck- head were th® only persons in the room when he died, Neithor ‘of his brothers or sisters was present, although one brother, Mr, Johu W. Sher- man, resides at Newport. His other brothers, James M. Sherman and Joseph W. Sherman, the former re- siding in Hampton, Va., and the latter in Boston, have been notified. His two sisters, Mrs. Burdick and Mra. 8. D, Spink, reside at Newport. The de- ceased was confident that he would not recover, but it was not until Saturday that ho saw the necessity of providing for the care of his only son, scarcely sixteen years of and a cadet at the Naval Academy.* General W. T. Sherman, commanding the army; General Hancock, commanding the De- partment of the East, and Adjutant General Town- ged, have been notified of the death of their brother oflicer, General Sherman has been requested to state if he has any particular request to make re- garding the funeral arrangements. ‘The funeral will probably take place on Thursday next. All the troops from Fort Adams will be present. Major MacMurray and Lieutenant J. M. K. Davis, First United States artillery, remained at the residence of the deceased last night, and other watchers trom among the offi- cers at Fort Adams will be detailed by General Vox- des, to remain every night until after the tuneral. General Vog:ies, as well as all his officers, hes been unremitting his attention during the General's illness, The ‘details of the funeral will be ar- ranged by Captain Churchill, above referred to, also had the excinsive charge of Mra, Sherm funeral at the request of dead soldier. Cap- tain Churchill served in the Third artillery with General Sherman, and a strong attachment has always existed between’ them. When Coptain Churchill asked him in relation to the arrangements for his wite's funeral he interposed no objection to her body being taken to St. Mary’s Catholic Church, wherd the szd tuneral rites were performed, as announced in Saturday’s Hunaip. It was a source of great conso- lation to him in his dying hour, ond showed a tender feeling for the religion carly espoused by his noble wite, Great sympathy is felt at Newport for Mrs. Keolor, the sister of Mrs. Sherman, who is alone in her affliction, not having many acquaintances in that city. The deceased has resided at Newport more or less ince the close of tho rebellion, and he has owned and occupied a fine residence on Greenough piaio, As alrcady stated in the Hap, he returned to Newport from a visit to New York on'the morning of March 1. He went to bed tmmodiatoly after arriy- ing at his home, and he was only able to leave it Onso—when he went to the bedaide of bis dying wife. General Thomas W. Sherman wae born at Newport, “kh.

The initial Sunday concert Inst evening attracted a sclect and appreciative audience, and will probably encourage Messrs, Edgar and Fulton to make further arrangements for the series, The programme was as follows:—Duet, for violoncello and violin, Kum- mer, Henry and Fdward R.

STANDARD THEATRE. An excellent prograname was advertised for the concert’ last evening at tho Standard Theatre, and with a longer notice of the conoert would doubtless: have attracted a large audience. Tho walcing match at Gilmore's Garden, however, has sadly interferod with managerial calculations during the week, and the first of the series was not in a pecuniary respect as successful as its artistic merit de- served.

Neatly three thonsand people were in attendance, High mass wae celebrated by the Rev, Fathers Shahan and McGee, The itlter, which was unveiled for the first time, is one of rare beauty. The floral decora- tions were elaborate. ~ THE SERMON. The sermon by Father Shahin was one of en- courngementand congratulation. Ite said:—The true Jaith in the spirit of St, Pytrick had led the Catholic people to make the requisite sacrifices to rear this noble temple to the worship of the living God. Al- theugh the afflictions of Job had been sent upon them at times, the Irish peoplo are preserved to propagate His Gospel, AU over the earth the chapel, the churoh and the great cathedral bells proclaim to tho world that tho children of St, Patrick are assembling to their call. You have raised 4 monument to your faith that is destined to last for centuries, When poople ask how the poor Irish *people can build the finest churches in the country tell them it is not poverty but the faith that has not been apostatized. Had this ple chosen to aban." don the faith of their fathors they might now be at home, happy and prosperous instead of being in a foreign Jand, Catholic fect were the first to tread the soil of these United States, You havo erected one of the finest ecclesiastical structures on this Continent, This is the house of God, and may it’be the gate to heaven for all your rouls, The im- mense audience was deeply affected by Fathor Shuhan's sermon, which occupied nearly one hour in duration. THE NEW EDIFICE, The church is regarded a8 one of the most beauti- fnlin the country. The excavation was appropri- ately began on St. Patrick’s Day, 1870,. under thewupervision of the then pastor, Father Danicl* Mullen, who died in January, 1878, At the time of his death he hd oxpended over $225,000 on the strueture, the completion of which ho looked forward to as the crowning event of his career. The corner stone was laid with im- ‘pemire ceremonies on July 18, 1873. In March, ‘ollowing the death of Father Mullen, the Rev. P. P. Strahan was appointed to the charge and has since labored with untiring zeal for the completion of the sacred edifice, dimensions aro as follows :— Length, 208 fect; width of nave and aisles, 70 fect; transept, 104 fect; tower, 27 feet aquare and 240 feot high. The architecture is Gothic, and clovely re- sembles that of the Cotogne Cathedral, regarded as the finest specimen of the style in the world. Nave and aisles are divided. by heavy moulded pillars sur- mounted by foliated capttals. The frescoing is elaborate and very beautiful, bea ire painting is hy Daniel Muller, of Brook- lyn, N.¥. The figures aro lifo size and will number forty. They are painted in penels of ten feet in height, in vivid colors, and represent the Madonna, the Resurrection, Christ and the Apostles, Peter walking to Jesus on the wator, while over the altar is a fine representation of the Crucifixion.

A REIGN OF . TERROR, Within’ fow years thirteen mufders haye Léon! committed in Suffolk county, and in no caso was the murderer brought to justice. Incendiary fires and robberics have been numerous but no effort what- ever, it is said, has been made to punish the culprits, There is an absolute reign of terror in Huntington, and private citizens have to sit up at night to guard their property. The people have at last moved in the matter, after many months of denunciation and indignation at the failure of the Board of Supervisors to appropri- ato adollar for the detection of the criminals. Tho officers say that if they shonld spend their own money in tracing 8 criminal tho Board would give them only the statutory componsation—porhaps ten |. Per cent of their actual outlay—without consid- ering the valuo of their time. Johnson, the Bay Shoro murderer, has escaped, it is claimed, be- canse no ove was oncouraged to go for him with any Lge zeal than if ho were wante:l for simple theft. ‘he District Attorney thought the Board of Super- visors would pay %50; if not, he said that he would, A petition of several hund: citizens of Huntivgton was Presented to Supervisor Rogers asking that steps be taken to bring to Justioe the persons who burned Mr. Ebenoz-r Jarvis” buildings, and accordingly the Board of Su; ‘tnors will meet to-day at Riverhead. ‘The constables are confident that tho appropriation will not execed $100, and none of them, it is be- lieved, would touch the case for double that amount, Not a word 16 said abont an appropriation for the: capture of Johnson.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM VICE PSESIDENT KNOX, OF THE NATIONAL STOCK YARDS-—-NO STILL FEED OR SLOPS USED, ATIONAL Stok Yanns, Easr Sr, Lovis, March 14, 1879, To tur Eprrox or Tur Heranp:— Despite the assertion of your St. Louis correspond- ent on the 11th inst, I xeiterate that catile have never been fed in these yards on slop or still feed, and it is simply impossible for owners to so feed without our knowledge, MeNeil! writes trom Green- ville, March 9;— There is not, nor ever has been, a distillery or brewery iu this (Bond) county, Tam uot focding here, or at any other place, any cattle on still feed ot slops, and the story, in so far as 1 am concerned, is entircly false. Still or slop feeding is entirely Uu- known in this county, If your correspondent can cy, arms his charges I trust he will lose no time in oing so, I did not charge or insinuate that you got up the cattle dis- ease or that there were no diseased cattle in the country, but asserted the opinion of all cealers that the cattle received at these yards for more than a year past had been unusnaly healthy, and that such letters as you published on the 6th magnified the ex- tent of the disease and tended to increase the proju- dice the English authorities have against American cattle. ISAAC H, KNOX, Vice President, RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION BY OUR COR+ RESPONDENT—NO SLOP FEEDING AT EAST ST, @AVIS OR ON MR. M'NEILL'S FAR“t—LOCALI- TIES WHERE SLOPS AND STILL FEED AB USED—EFFE°TS ON THE CATILE, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Sr. Lovrs, Mo., March 16, 1879, Thave made carotul investigation into the cattle business, as indicated in your telegrams, and havo ts report that there are no cattle fod on siops at the farm of A: H. McNeill, who lives at Greenvilte, ly and thatthe statement to that effect was afabrice tion; neither are there any cattle fed on slops at the National Stock Yards in East St. Louis; neither aro slop fea cattle brought to the National Stock Yards of Enst St. Louis, mixed with sound cattle and shipped East. e THE FACTS IN THE CAsE. The following are the facts in the case:—There ap- per at the St. Louis National Stock Yaris in the fall of each year buyers for professional slop feeders, and the kind of stock selected is such as was described in the origiral despatch from this place, Slop feeding is principally carried on at Springfield, Il; Peoria, Ili.; Chicago, Cincinnati ond Louisville, The best informed stock men at the National Stock Yards estimate that from 30,000 to 40,000 head are boing fed on slops at the points named. There are two thousand at Springileld, about eight thousand at Chicago, about ten thonsand at Cincinnati, and prob- ably three thousand at Louisville. The remainder are at different places in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, Al the so-called sloppers bonght at the St. Louis National Yards are fed in these three States. EFFECT OV SLOP FEEDING, The slops consist of the wastage of distilleries, and the cattle fed on them are found to be discased stock, Men_here state that Texan cattle will not touch the slops until they are driven to it by starvation, The condition of tho anim ls in the slop pens or sheds is said to be horrible, and while the meat of slop fed cattle looks well when first dressod it is acknowl- edged that it will not bear salting or the pickle, This is convincing proof of its discased condition. It must bo said to the credit of the St, Louis National Stock Yards that the hay and corn fed to stock there is of tho very best quality, and that the gattle passing through there this yoar are excecd- ingly healthy. The slop fed cattle arc shipped from the points at which they are fed, and go to Buffalo and thoneo east. to Now York, Boston and Philadel phia. Tho slop feeding iniquity is not perpetrated at St, Louis, but.at points east of this. SOUTH. AMERICA. PROSPPCTS OF WAR BETWEEN PERU, CHILI AND BOLIVIA—THE PERUVIAN MISSION, Panama, March 8, 1879, ; The latest dates from Lima are to the 26th of Feb- ruary, and at that time any change in the position of affairs between Chili and Bolivia was in favor of tho former, Mejillones, Caracoles and Antofagasta ere held by the Chilians, and at Cobijq, the only remaining port of Bolivia, a Chilian iron-clad is . statione. In addition to the arming of over two thousaid five hundred Chilian residents in the nitrate and mining districts, nearly one thousand regular troops haye been landed at the ports ocenpied, and will form aceutre about which a volunteer force will be consolidated much more formidable than any which Boliviv, even with the assistance of Peru, can place in the field for some months, The Bolivian coast guards made no re- sistance whatever, the prefects of the invested towns retiring peaceably to Cobija. The government at La Paz is recruiting and drilling soldiers and pro- ei Se a campaign, but as yet no forward move- Ment has been attempted. WILL PERU 2 The action of Peru is awaited, Tho government of that Republic has sent a vigorous protest against the conduct of Chill. Should Pern finally take « haud in the quarrel the forces of Bolivia will be sent by rail to Mollendo and thence by steamors to the scene of action. Peruvian iron-clads and other ayailablo vessels are preparing with all haste, and during this mouth will be ready for action, An envoy extraor- diary has been ie tecwan from Lima to Santiago to of mediation ween the two republics, aud it is ginderstood that if Chili persists in the coetistian, of Bolivian teritory he is authorized declare the intention of Poru to assist Bolivia in the struggle. This wifl bring matters to crisis, There is considerable Jealousy between Chili and Peru, and pi no objections ‘will be felt on cither side to a trial of strength. The Chilian authorities have prohibited Fv penne ot — rage and mules from heir ports to Peru, and this step leads intelligent people to believe that Chill is determined to listeu to no representations which the Peruvian erpinent may offer which are not based on the rigid observ ance on the part of Bolivin of treaty stipulations.
