Und of the Sir-jiggle Itctweeu the AVesteru Union and the' Americnn Union Telegraph Companies. New York, Jai. 12. The terms of the consoil-, dation betwee.the Western Union and the American Uuioijl'elegraph Companies have leen agreexl upru amAhe preliiainary papers signed. The Evening Pout says of the union of the Telegraph t ompuultis, that rumor has it that new stock will be issued. Western Union stock going into the new Ciaapany at par, American at par and Atlantic aud Pacitic at .'si per cent., each in proportion ; that the plan then will le to turn the Company over to the Government. The Graphic ay?: "It is understood the combination was effected on the basis of SoO.uuo.Oin capital for the the new Company, of which the Western Union is to have S.uoc.ijio, the American Union, S15.0OO0X) and; Jihe Atlantic and Pacific J7.ooo,UOO The present capital of the Western Union is about M'.oW.CKX); of the American Union. Jlö.Ooo.OtX), and of the Atlantic and Pacific, (14.000,000. Thus it will be seen that the Western Union get a scrip dividend of 10 per cent., the Americnn Union goes in at par, and the Atlantic and Pacific is put iu at 50 er cent. It is undeniable that this movement has been engineered throughout by Jay Gould, who to-day holds a vantly preponderating control of the entire telegraph system of the country. It is a movement in w hich he has checkmated his opjoneiits completely, and it is estimated his profits will run up into tne millions. The present movement in telegraph stocks was begun in the latter part of November by Vanderbill, w ho run the stock up from about par to IUI to enable hirn to unload, which he did all the way down to t"i0, as he said the preparations the ilval line was making for a severe aud protracted competition. Front 00 the stock was carried down some l't jsnnts by Gould's short salot. The speculative movement lay dormant for a few days, but assumed activity by the tile of one block of :w,000 shares at 7. V, seller sixty days, and another of 10,000 shares, on a similar option, at 7s. The street wa mystified as to the purport Of the transaction but speculators gererally were induced to put out heavy lines of shorts. som this point the stock began to advance, and Immense transactions were the older of the day. There is little doubt but that Gould and Vanderbilt have Wen acting in eonosrt In the .buying movement, although it Is believed Gould is by far the largest buyer, as he appears to have dictated the settlement of today. The first seetioti of the new American L'uion cables will probably be laid in May next, and the whole system will be thii.-'hed in Novellier. Whatever is ihe upshot of the amalgamation project of the land lines here, these new cables will eertaioly be laid, ns there is a demand for more wires to Europe, and tho property will always be in request, owing to the increased demand for more cable facilities. The old Cable Companies have ottered the projectors ef the new cables every inducement to discontinue work. The cable stock U at a premium of per cent. ' From trustworthy sources it is learned that the general plan of the consolidation Is as follows: The consolidated Comny ia to retaia the title of the Western Union Telegraph Company, with a capital of &so,0W,QOO. To perfect the Company, a new certificate of incorporation with a capital fixed at that amount is to be tiled. The shares of the several Comauics are to be merged lu the consolidated Company, at a valuation of about 129 for Western Union. 11314 for American Union, and for Atlantic and Pact tlcThis means practically a scrip dividend of per cent, on Western Union, and H ier cent, on American Union, maktnat the caDiUl of the first, in round figures, .(AO.tX. . The capital of the

American Union is (10,000,000, but it is also pledged to issue f;.OC.000 t botds to subscribers of the Central Construction Company, whhit furnished funds to construct ita lines. These bond, it is aaid, will be issued at ouc, and for tbt purposes of consolidation the entize capitallJition of ihe Company, including both stock and bonds, will le taken as tr bals.

San Franio, Jan. 17. In the case of Dodomiero Co, the extradited Mexican, the Judges of tne united states uistnct and Circuit Court were unable to agree, and the case was referred to the Supreme Court. The Kxainiiver, Democratic, reeardinR tho Chi -neso Treaties, savs: "Immigration Treaty is a disappointment, w indotlniw and contains no concession by the Chinese that is not hampered by provisos that will practically nullify it, and the end of Coolie Immigration is as far from settlement as ever." The Alia thinks the Treaty is all that can be desired by those who oppose Chinese immigration. The Bulletin considers the relief sought is brought within reach by the provisions of the treaty, and protests against the proposal to send the treaty back for amendment on the question of naturalization of the Chinese, as the treaty can confer no right of naturalization, and tosend it back for concurrence in such amendment would jeopardize the w hole treaty. The Post says: Not ns" much has been gained as we had a rii?ht to expect, but that the question of tbe restriction of Chinese immijjratioii is now In tbe hands of Congress to which we must look for relief."

The "Mollie lUigon'' was torn from Iter mooring, about the Water Works and carried down to the warfwbereshe lodsed cgaiust the shore ice.and the "Nail City" coming to her assistance, towed her her back to hr harbor uninjured. Several fiats were carried away with the ice The ice gorged, however, at Bellaire, O., four miles below this city, and at the preseut w riting remains firm. The "Andes" is lying out in the river opfosi to Heatherinjrton's Coal Works, below the core, and is consdered Ina very dangerous position. The ice is running very slow and the river will be closed again by moruins unless the gorge at Bellaire breaks. There has been a steady rise in the river since mornirc and with more water from above to come, it is likely the gorge will soon give away. A Delegation of Colored Men Call on Garfield.
