THE Cincinnati Gazette "hits the nail" a tremendous whack "square on the head" in this paragraph:

The New York Sun gives several reasons for opposing Grant, each of which is basgd upon a falsehood, clear and well defined, and omits the true reason, which was the refusal of the President to appoint CHAS. A. DANA Collector of the Port of New York.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL says it is the general opinion among Senators that the executive session of the Senate to consider the new treaty with England, now nearly completed by the Joint Commission, will be called for about the 1st of Mav.

INTERCEPTED LETTERS.

Two Clarke Comity Men Arrested For Tnking Letters from the Postoffl—The Case to be Heurd on the 19th.

Several days ago a gentleman named John L." Hurst, of Providence, Clarke county, made a complaint before United States Commissioner, Noble C. Butler, charging two citizens of that place, Thaddeus Trustier and Hnrvey Lane, with taking from th«» post office in Providence, letters addressed to Roxy Ann Hurst, and secreting ilie sutue. Ilie Compnuui aio charges that these letters were taken with felonious intent, and for the purpose of prying into the secrets of said Koxy Ann Hurst, iScc.- The prisoners were arrested yesterday by Special United Slates Marshal James N. ravton and Drought to this citv. They were arraigned before Commissioner Butler this morning, and not being ready for a preliminary examination, the case was postponed until next Thursday, April 20th. The parlies furnished $500 bail each for their appearance.

The facts in the case, as we learn them from, ihe officers, are about as follows: Mr. Richard Sylvester, a very respecta* ble young man in this city, commenced a correspondence with Miss Roxy Ann Hurst during last winter, and wrote five or six letters to her address. These let* ters, she alleges, never came into her po*sesion. It seems that after Mr. Sylvester had written the above number of letters to Miss Hurst, he received one, purporting to come from her, which wascouched in very inelegant and insulting language. Upon the receipt of this insulting epistle the justly indignant lover ceased his correspondence.

Some how or other the facts leaked out recently, and an investigation was commenced, which resulted in the charge as above stated. The voting lady h'ad nothing to do with writing the insulting note te Mr. Svlves arid siys "hat she has never seen one of his epittles.—Nttc Alon

Our men fought like lions, especially LeDrux, Governor of Vonvres. Semi official journals say 1,000 soldiers were killed before Vonvres, and- several hundred taken prjpjfers al Neuilly. Thers was no loss among tha Parisians, exceBf ffembfiSfrrflq, fh«f woiipdeq.l I i/.J^

Fresn uommune electitJlif" a1 held. They excite but little interest. _A decree of the Commune places all railroads under its control, and obliges them to producc all their books and documents, if required, for inspection.

Another special correspondent' telegraphed from Paris yesterday afternoon, as follows. Yesterday morning attacks were made on Port Dauphine, which contirtied ail day. The quarter of Champs Elysees has been exceedingly damaged by sheila, which are still falling thickly. The building occupied by the American Legation was struck by fragments of shells on Saturday. Nevertheless, Washburne continues to reside in Avenue Josephine.

Barricades have been ordered erected immediately in tbe quarters ofTuilleries and Belleville, which will render Paris impregnable to assaults of the Versaillists. ...

The same |corres{fcnfdeht telegraphed late last night th'at tbere hasrbpen firing in various directions all day. He saw a shell strike the Arch of Triumph. Much damage has been done. It has been struck by thirty-three shells in all. The Champs is full of people. Carriages and omnibuses go nearly up to the Arch. Stalls are open, and Punch and Judy shows are exhibited.JCrowds are moving t(?andfroin holiday attire. Groups are gathered together, and pay little attention to the bombardmfent. No interest whatever is felt in the elections. The family of Minister Washburne has left Paris. It is anticipated that all railroad lines will be cut to morrow, and a state of siege declared. There are only enough provisions in Paris to last three weeks.

Another correspondent telegraphs that he saw fighting which was furious, and only four hundred yards from Paris. He was subsequently arrested, and came near being shot. Six persons arrested as royalists were shot in the morning. It is reckoned that during the last two days, the Versaillists lost 1,000 killed and 1500 wounded. All persons are now allowed to leave the city witl|0(i| permit, except menjb^iween fh# Iges jif nineteeft and forty. Provisions are rising in price. A:ll"' the gates except those opposite the enemy are open all day. Chandrey, editor of the Siecle, has been arretted, the charge unknown. Not even his wife is permitted to visit him. There is great outcry at the number of arrests. No more will take place without report to the Commune.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

Yesterday at the Catholic church of St. Mary, Williamsburg, there was a narrow eseape frotn a terrible tragedy. A_ procession of young girls, each carrying^ a lighted taper, entered the church while the priest was baptising a number of converts. Suddenly the flame of a candle held by one of the girls set fire t? her veil, and the flames sp ead from veil to veil until some twelve of the children were on fire. Happily, through the presence of mind of those present, the flames were extinguished before the girls were seriously burned.

FROM JAPAN^

jl-Sf-s'

A correspondent writing from Yeddo, Japan, says,- a most startling political tragedy occurred in that city on the 27th of February, about' 10 o'clock in the morning. The residence of Hirosama Hioski, a Sangi, and member of the highest board of the Government and one of the most distinguished and intelligent progressive statesmen of Japan, was broken into by a baud of armed men who forced their way to the chamber where the Sangi was sleeping and cut him to pieces with ^h#ir swords. His house stands in the heart of Yeddo, and within a few yards of one of the guarded gates leading to the Mikado's castle, "but the assassins' succeeded in escaping before the alarm could be given. The assassination was inspired undoubtedly from political motive?.

AMNESTY. Adopted.

government official called upon the Pres ident to urge him to1'teco^^eqd in 4«1l message about th^ KuKlux. that a bill to provide for suppressing disorder in tLe South be accompanied by general abH nesty. The President gave the gentleman' to understand that personally he thought that generous, but be seriously doubted that the people were ready for it.

WASHINGTON, April 17.—1:30 A.

Barometers continue to fell with increasing steadiness on the Pacific Coijsst." Cloudy weather with rain afr several points has prevailed in eastern States and upper Lakes, with moderate northeast winds. Pressure is rising south and east of this valley. Probabilities. That low pressure will prevail in Upper Mississippi Valley, with northeast winds on the Lakes. Partially cloudy and clear weather will probably prevail on the Atlantic and Gulf No serious disturbance is apprehended east of the Rocky Mountains. Cloudy and rainy weather probably for the Pacific Coast.

THE AMNESTY BILL.

Republican Senators will holdLa cancns this A. to determine what action is to be taken in regard to the House amnesty bill. Senators who favor its passage, and who have canvassed the Senate carefully claim that a majority of Republicans favor the bill, that it will be a party measure and passed almost unanimously. Tao?e who are opposed to it, on the other hand, think that they will be able to defeat it in caucus. They say tl.ey will never support such a measure till the Ku Klux stop killing. The President is reported to be in favor of amnesty, but to doubt the expediency of giving it just at this time.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

A caucus meeting of Republican Senators was held at eleven o'clock this mornine, to consider Senator Robertson's osition, that the order of business amended as to prevent action to be taken this session upon the House^ general amnesty bill. Discussion, which was conunder the five .minutes rule, was opened by Robertson in advocacy of the propriety, justice and expediency of enacting a law for general amnesty, at as earlv a day as possible. Senators Sawyer, Sherman, Lewis, Buckingham, Logan and Wilson also supported the proposition for immediate and favorable action on the subject. Senators Chandler, Morton, Scott and Edmunds opposed the movement for general amnestv at this time, urging that it was an expedient unwise and uncalled for. finali/^aft^a session of nearly an hour.pn^mpuon of Rice, the proposition of Robertson was laid tin the table by a vote of twenty to sixteen, thus defeating the measure for this-session.

jay cboiifi & oo:s

Offer for sale at par aad ace#aed interest the lint Mortgage Land ^raat -QoM Bonds or the Northern Paelfie Railroad Coaipany. They are free from Uaitsd States Tax, and are issued of the following dsaominations: bonpehs #100,180Q, fl,«0, «5.000 and«10.000.

With the same entire confidence with which we commended Government honds to Capitalists and People, we now after the tallest investigation, reeommend these Northern Pacific fiailroad bonds to our friends and the goneral public. rATmstHf.-Both principal and interest are payable in American goldeoin, at the office 6f Jay Cooke Co.. New York City—the primipal at the end of 30 years, and the interest (at the rate of seven and threetenths iter ceat per annum) hsU-year!?, first of January and July.. raJtFKCMArET*.-The bonds we are aow ssllihg. w^e seeured by first and only mortgage on all the property and rights of the Northerp fa^ifio Railiroid Company, whioh will exhbrace on,the,completion of the •work:'.' 1. Over Two Thousand Miles ef Road, with rolling stock, buildingd.'and all other equipments. 2. Over Twenty-two Thousand "Acres of Land to every mile of finished road. This land, agricultural, timbered and mineral, amounting in all »o more than Fifty Million Acres, consists of alternate sections, reaching tweuty to forty miles on each side of the track, and extending in a broad lertile belt from Wisconsin through the richest portions of Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, to Puget Sound.

While the Government does not directly guarantee the bonds of the Koad, it thus aUt*^ ply provides for their full and prompt payment by adr unreserved grant of land, the most valuable ever conferred upon a groat national improvement

THE MO SIT© AWE.—The Trustees nnder the Mortgage, are Messrs. Jay Cooke of Philadelphia, and J. Edgar Thomson, President of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company. They will directly and permanently represent the interests ot the First Mortgage bond holders, and .are required to see that the proceedt of &in<i«a/c«.are used in purchat ing and cancelling the bonds of the Company if they can be bought before maturity at not more than 10 £er cent, premium otherwise the Trustees are to invest the proceeds of land sales in United states Bonds 6r Estate Mortgages for the further seo Northern Pacific bondholders. they have at all times in their cohoSHi security, at least 500 acres of average lana te every SI .000 of outstanding first mortgage bonds, besides the railroad itself and all its equipments and franchises-

PJtOl'ITABLENEttS.—Of cour«o nothing ean be safer than the bonds of the United States, but as the Government is nv longer a borrower, and as the Nation's present work is not that of preserving its existence, bnt that of DKVgLurmo a 0OSTtHiST, we remind those who desire to increase their income aad obtain a more permanent investment, while still having a perfectly reliable security, that:

United States 5-20's at their average premium yield the present purohaser less than 5Ji per cent, gold interest. Should they be redeemed in five years, and specie payment be resumed, they would really pay only i% per cent.., or is in.three years, only 3V per eent., as the present premium would meanwhile be sunk.

Northern Pacific 7-30's selling at par in currency yield, tbe investor 7 3-10 per eent. told interest absolutely for thirty years, free fi om United Sutei tax. 81,000 currency invested now in United.States 5-20's will yield j.er year in gold, say $«2 00. •l.O' O currency invested now in Northern Pacific 7-30*8 will yield per year in gold.f80 dO. Here is a dif— ferenee annwil income of nearly one-third, besides a di&renee of 7 to 10 percent, in principal. When both classes of bonds are redeemed.

THE MAS VOW BWH.MHC.-Work was begun in July last on the eastern portion of the line, aad the moaey provided, by the sale to stockholders of some six millions of the Company's bonds, to build and equip the road from LakeSaterior across Minnesota to the Red River of the North—233 miles. The grading on the dlvion is now well advanced: the iron is being rapidly laid several thousand men are at work on the line, and about the first of August next this important section of the road will be in fnll operation. In the meantime orders have been sent to the Pacific coast for the commencement of the work on the western end in early Spring, and thereafter the work will be pushed, both eastward and westward, with as much speed as may bo consistent with solidity and wise ceonomy.

RECEIVABLE FOB LASDS.-Thcio bonds will be at all times, before maturity, receivable, at 1.10, in payment for the Company's lands, at their lowest cash ujices.

BOftDS EXCHANGEABLE.—The registered bonds can be exenangod at any time for coupons, the coupons for registered, and both these can becxchangcd for others, payable, principal and interest, at any of the principal financial centres of Europe, in the coin of the various Europe countries.

HOW TO VET THE51.—Your nearest Bank or Banker will supply these bonds in any desired amount, and ot any needed denomination. Persons wishing to exchange stocks or other bonds for these, can do so with any of our agents, who will allow the highest current price for all marketable securities.

Those living in loealities remote from banks may send money, or other bonds, dirtcily to us by express, and we will send bac!s Northern Pacific bonds at our own risk, and without cost to the investor. For further information, pamphlets, maps, etc., call on or address the undersigned, or any|of the Banks or Bankers employed to sell this loan.
