York, December 20.?The settle? ment by Jay Gould with the Erie -Com? pany w?9; thei main topic of conversation throughout the oity last night It is everywhere regarded-as a grand triumph for Erie. The proposal for a settlement was communicated in a letter by Jay Gould, addressed .to. President Watson, of the Erie Railroad, on Deoember 17. He stated that sinoe his resignation of the Presidency, he had been prepared to make conveyance to the company of the property belonging to it, which he held in his name; but to which, he says, he never made any claim. During his ad? ministration, he made various purchases of property for the company with money of his own, the benefit of whioh accrued to the road. Upon the construction placed by Mr. Watson upon his accounts, he was charged with all the moneys, and hence he believed the properties in ques? tion belonged to him; und if they were now transferred, he should beoredited with their valuo. Owing to the state in which he was compelled to leave his ac? counts on withdrawal from the company, and the Iosb of tho account book, some things remained unexplained. The va? rious pieces of real estate in dispute, therefore, he proposed to convey to the company, and in addition the Grand Opera House and adjacent properties, owned by himself and Fisk, "I do this," he says, "for tho sake of peace." Mr. Watson thereupon replied, that he con? sidered thia a fair offer, and would at once lay the subject before a speoial com? mittee. Gould yesterday made the fol? lowing statement to a reporter: "Since the Erie war, my objeot has been to ob? tain a series of roads under practically one management, from Now York to San Francisco, and in this way obtain a fair share of all traffic on the intervening route and that whioh accrues at cither terminus." Gould's objeot seems now to be to enhance the price of Eric stock, to the end that he may be measurably reim? bursed.

L'Independence pelge, <>f'?h6 20tb u)t., give* the following acoonnt of an awful tragedy/Vhiah. lately happened.in Brus? sels: .s... Mr. Edmund F. was a half-pay captt. in of cavalry, who left bis Dative town of Chfltteaa-Ohinon about four years ago, ?o order to*accept n position as manager of an iron foundry in the vicinity of Brussels. In the year 1812, at the age of twenty-four, be was sons-lieutenant of a regiment of dragoons garrisoned at Lille. There, ho seduced the daughter Of a respectable merchant, and aban? doned ber to her shame. The poor girl soon found herself in a condition which rendered exposure unavoidable. In order to conceal hor fault, she fled from her father's house aud was seen no more. Last week, Oaptain F. visited, in the company of n few friends, one of the most frequented beer gardens in Brus? sels. While there, engaged in a game of cards, a quarrel aroso between one of his friends and a young officer of the rifle oorps. Oaptain F. took the part of his friend. High words followed and insults. The upshot was that Captain F. challenged the young officer to tight a duel with pistols. They met .on the following day, and Oaptain F. killed bis adversary by sending a bullet into his heart. This was on Friday morning. Captain F. now hurried home, iu order to prepare for escape to Frauoe. Last Sunday, after having settled all his af? fairs, he packed bis valise and was abont to leave, when a woman in black pre? sented herself at the door. Her face was covered with a thick veil, and she appeared greatly agitated, her body trembling all over. Captain F., highly surprised, and something like troubled with a gloomy foreboding, asked her into the reception room. Scarcely had be pronounced the first word when the unknown lady in black drew up her veil in a sudden, convulsive manner, and showed him a face pale as death and ejes full of anger aud tears. At the sight of that face the captain retreated u step and uttered a cry of horror and astonishment. In that woman in tears and dressed in black, with faded features and hair all gray, ho reooguizsd bis vie tim of thirty years ago?tho daughter of the Lillo merchant. "Wretohl" she exclaimed, advancing upon him all pale aud threatening; "ac? cursed being 1 villain I murderer 1 It i? not enough to have dishonored a woman ?to have basely abandoned herl xou had to kill her child, to.assassinate your own sou! And such crimes should go unpunished 1 The most monstrous of misdeeds should leave you in possession of the name of honest man I No, mise? rable destroyer of so many innocent beings, you shall perish by tho bauds of your victim." Scarcely.had she spoken these words when she drew forth a rovolver from under her cloak, fired twice and blew the captain's brains 'out. ; She then fired a third' and fatal shot at herself. . Hearincr the sound of three shots the servants and noighbors came running in, very much frightened. A fearful sight pre? sented itself to them?two bodies lying side by side on tho door and weltering in blood. The body of Captaiu F. gave no sign of life; that of his former viotim was breathing yet, and by dint of exer? tions revived, for a few hours only. She was taken to the nearest hospital, where she expired in the middle of the follow? ing night, after having answered an in? terrogatory and tho facts wo have re? lated. What is a Common Centre??At a bauquot given in St. Louis to the mem hers of the National Commercial Con? vention, reoontly in session iu that city, tbe last regular toast being "Our Com? mon Country and its Controlling Cen? tres," Mr. E. H. James, a delegate from Tennessee, was called on to respond. The Missouri Democrat, in reporting his remarks, says he made an eloquent and powerful speech, spioed with patriotic sentiments and poetical and humorous allusions. As a.fair epacimen of tho hu? morous portion of his remarks, we copy the followiug from tho report of tho De? mocrat: This was the common country of all who chose lo inuko it their homo; tho Irishman, tho German, tho Polo, tho African, the Chinaman?all claimed this as their common country. It is a com? mon idea that the Mississippi is the Fa? ther of Waters, but the fact is, tho waters aro tho father of the Mississippi. It starts as a little rill, runs by Judge Miller's bridge up the river, and receives Missouri, which makes ib the father of waters. In regard to the controlling centres, Cincinnati claims to bo Bomo. St. Louis, iu spite of L. U. llcavis, nits liko a hen on a thousand eggs in tho centre of tho Mississippi Valloy. Well might Benton say, "There is the East, there is India."

Washington: despatch to tbo New York Herald states that Robert 0. Yoang, a Hu Kim prisoner, who has been par? doned by the President, .erf I veil in that city from the Albany penitentiary, on Saturday, in a dying condition. He was on his way home to Youngsvllle, Alaba? ma. He was interviewed in the cloak? room of the Honse of Representatives, where he was attempting to sleep. The reporter says: He appeared to sleep in death. Hie face had a leaden, ghastly look, with wrinkles deeply and rigidly vet, as if void of senso and motion. My companion touohed him lightly. He raised his head slowly and cast a languid look to? ward me. It seemed to me the look of a galvanized corpse. He was dressed in a suit of homespun. His face was thin and ashy, with a three weeks' beard upon it; bia eyes were sunken in, and thin gray hairs straggled down upon his fore? head. Ho was asked whether ho was treated kindly in prison. He answered: "All the officers troated me kindly, except one overseer, who was harah to me. When I was too feeble to work I had to remain in my cell, whioh was very cold. I sometimes asked him to let me go to the stova in the corridor to warm myself, but he refused. 'Don't bo hard on an old man,' I would say, but still ho wouldn't let me go out. "i was confined in the same cell with my son Ringgold, who is still there. He has to work in tho shoo shop from day? light till evening; but he has been in good health; never missed a day in the sbop. If it had not been for him I should have been dead long before this. He took good caro of mc." Tho dying man gaTe the following history of his caae: "It was all the work of a man named Barnes. He is a lawyer. He hated me, and wanted to have me put out of tho way. For this purpose ho wont to John D. Yoang, a Ku Klux prisoner, now in the Albany penitentiary, but no relation of mine, and asked him to turn State's evidence against mo, but John refused. .The next day he was arrested and tried, and, like me, sentonoed to ten years. This man Barnes was a United States Commissioner, and had unlimited power in my County. He was on tho grand jury which found an indiotment against me. They wanted to convict somebody, and thoy selected me and my son, Ring gold T. Young. There aro now six Ku Klux prisoners in the Albany peniten? tiary?three from Tallapoosa and three from Randolph County. Oue of them? Charles Howard?is a perfect idiot; an? other, named Blanks, is a boy." A Terre Hautk Horror.?Last night a gentleman want into a barber-shop, and, being in a great hurry, took a seat in the first chair that was vacant without noticing who the barber was. The sloucby and uncertain way in which the lather was applied caused him to take a more careful look at the operator. The look was not assuring. There was a wildness about hia eyes and a heaviness in his brentbing that was not pleasant to contemplate. The lathering process oo oupiod an unreasonably long time. Then tho barber sharpened bis razor nervously and in winding up cut bis hand, drawing blood, which be endeavored to conceal. Then ho took one swipe at the anxious face before him. The gentleman in tbo chair cast his eyes upward when the razor was raised again. The barber held tho razor in his clinched hand, about a foot above his head; bis eyes were fixed aud glassy, and there was a sickening kind of foam on bis blue lips. One leap, aud the gentleman was ten feet from that chair, aud at the very instant he moved the glittering razor came down savagely ou the very spot where bis head had been, and tho barber fell down in a fit. The frightened gentleman will indulge in no more shaving at a barber-shop after this. ? Terre Haute Express, Dec. 0. -# *>? A Melancholy Confession.?The New York Herald says: "Murder ia tho fashion of the day in Now York. Hu? miliating as the confession is, truth com? pels it. Life is held cheaper here to? day than it has ever before been, even in the most lawless localities of the West or South. Jack Reynolds was a prophet. His execution only gave tho seeming lie to his assertion, 'Hanging.is played out,' I which has, siuce his death, become lite- ! ral truth. Our city prison is thronged with murderers. Thoir lives are safer than those of tbo average citizen in the streets. Were it once egain established that speedy aud sure hanging would be the fate of every murderer, from that momeut murder would become a rare crime. Tc bring back this assurance is tho sacred duty, as it is tho urgent inte? rest, of overy citizen." We learn that tho gin-bouso of Mrs. M.
