Whother or not thoro is any truth in this rumor, it In of courao imposulblo to say. Wo surmise, howovor, that it in nothing more than a canard. Since tho Hussion purchafo all tho wits in Yankoednm, and. it would scorn, some ovon out side tho pale, iiavo been at work, conjuring up now plantations, to bo bid olT by Mr. Rewadd. To bo sure, thoro is some oxctiao for hie covoling tho Wont Pacific coast, for hn wants tho right of way to Walrnssia. Sunday was a very hot day, and yontorday more no.

Qonornl Subb is getting a very unenviable no toriety, in connection with tho Boom aud Bur batt c?nes. Tbo Now York World, a fow days ago, pronounced tho so-called Boorn Diary a lame furgory, manufactured to order by sorao news paper corrospondont. This chargo, in our opin ion, is sustained by excellent circumstantial ovi loncc. Hiding sixty milos thsA night aftor tho aasaasination, whon ho bad brokon his log jump ing off th? atogo at tho thoatro, and tho "brokon bone tearing his flesh at overy stop," can hardly be called a very probablo story, ovon after all tlio circum!>tano6B of dancer and urgency aro takon into consideration; aid that thou ho should havo stopped; bot to havo bis log splinted and band aged, but. to boo what tho nowBpapers said about him, and to mako ontrios into his diary?is, to say tho veryloast that can bo said, passing strange. Now, wo soo that "General" Bakeb sayn Sirs. Htm satt confessed to him "her complicity with tho conspirators, bo far as tho intoi dod abduction was oOncerdod, but affirmed that she reluctantly yield ed to tho urging or Booth in aiding' too plotof assassination." Tho. Now York lime j very porti noutly aeks why bo did not testify to this fact on tho trial of Mrs. Sub bait. Tub following from tbo New York 7?me?, of Fri day, whUo not as yet applicable to this latitude, may servo tho useful purpose, of avortin - ouch a conjunc ture : "Tho unusual punishment of a fine and one month's imprispnmont, was yeatorday imposed by Justice Uowmiu, at tho Court of Bpeoial Sessions, upon a Third Avonuo Railroad Conductor, who was found guilty of assaulting and ojceting from his ear, a boy-pasaongor, who rofusod to yield his seat after he bad paid tho full faro. Wo trust that this exemplary, penalty will not. bo without its warning effect upon the class to which tbo prison or belonged, many of, whom, by their rudeness to pasfjengory, havo disgraced their employers and afforded much cause for complaint on tbo part ol thO pnhlic. In tho oaae under consideration, tho fact that tho conductor wished to find room.for a female. . He hold that the yielding of a Beat was entirely a matter of courtesy, and took ocoasiou to make some suggestion a to tho fair sex, in oonnoo lion with this matter, which are of a timoly char acter." ".' Boston ia a ohriatian town, and has a. Christian pooplq ; it is in fact tho too to tale at olty on this mund?uio sphere. Tho vorv smell.of Monongahela is a penitentiary offence ; how slrango and at the e?mo timo how sad the reflection Induced by a re port from that godly oily, that ''there ie.no> diminution of arrests' for' drunkenness in Boston,- since "tho closing of the Bar-rooms" by legal -process. ; Tha Now York 2Tmes, eoatraiiUii this ipicture of ..the Puritan city' with Paris on Sunday as roconlly portrayed by its correspondent.
