Colonel Cteiran, to whose family this creat natural curiosity belong, was a resident ol Louisville, Kentucky. He went to Europo some thirty yenis itso, and found himself questioned fre(ilcutly as to the wonders of the Mammoth Cave a place he had never visited, and ot Vvhich lie heard but little at homo, though liv ing within ninety miles ol it. He went there ou his return, and the idea struck him to make it a tnniily inheritance. In ril'teru tniuutJs' bar painint? he bought it tor $10,000, and shortly afterwards was oilerrd $100,000 tor his purchase. In his will he tied it up in such a way that it iiiimt remain in his lamily for two treneratious, thus appending its celebrity to his name.

The paage of the Civil Kight- bill over the veto to-dnj, and the excitement before and atter, ha- been such as to absorb nearly r.ll else.

This coon became known, ant all hope of sustaining the vc'd was at once abandoned. Senator Wright bud been brought lo the beiiato to-day for the first, time, but he poou retired to a side room. At about 3 P. M. i' us rumored that Bcnator Morgan would vote for the bill, and the Democrats freely conceded that the veto could not be pro- t"Cloi'.. At 4 P. M.. Sir.

The Canadian papers irrve an account of the arrest In Ottawa ol a man by the name ot Mc Connell, the murderer of a woman in Clove land, Ohio, about twelve days ago, by tho name of Mrs. Colvin. The prisoner denies the accusation, but some ot the murdered woman's effects were found iu his possession. He lesides ou Lot No. 18 la the eighth concession of tne township of Fitzroy. Detective O'Neil and Conftable Davis, ac companied by a Cleveland detective, made the arrest. H appears thaKbe prisoner nearly chopped his victim up with an axe, and then dragged her out and covered her up with wood, which was pileo close to the bouse. McConneil, when he saw tbe constables approaching the house, secreted himself in the garret, and threatened to kill the first per-on who attempted to arro:t him. lie was finally brought dowu by CouBlable Davis. Some excitement prevailed In tbe city on ac count of tliis norrtble tragedy. t,Colvin, the husband ot the murdered woman, was found baoly iniured, under circumstances that led to his arrest on the charge of murder ing his wife. . The Cleveland Leader has an account of the scene that took place when the news of the ar rest of the guilty man was announced to Colvin on Tuesday night. It i-ays: "He nearly jumped out of his skin, attempted to give expression to his feelings in words, but the muscles of his face and the organs of his throat would not obey his will, and could only execute the most pitiable grimaces imaginable. At length he quit the useless effort, and burst into a flood of tears, and tilled the jail with shouts of Joy. "He was the happiest mortal, no doubt, on the face of toe planet; he danced about litJ a fawn, making all sorts of demonstrations, as of a nvin tipsy with joy. Miller, another suspected party, on the other hand, was not visibly affected, but seemed as plethoric and pumpkiny as before the receipt of tho news which clapped wings to tho shoulders ot his confederate." A Strange Story Stolen Money Recovered 'through a Dream. The Memphis Avalanche says that last Friday night, in Lagrange, Tennessee, the stoiv of a Mr. bauui was entered by burglars, the sale blown open with powder, aud $2o()0 in greenbacks, toneiher with about $300 in gold, taken. About $rUQ of the abstracted money belonged to Mr. liaum, and the remainder to Captain Ueeves, commanding a negro company at that place. Memphis detectives were sent for and went to Lagiunge. In the meantime an old German named lleseine, whose cow had been stolen or had wandered olf, dreamed that she was in the cemetery of tbe place, ond that ho had lollowed her there, but on reachintr the pol ho found, not the cow, but the friiamciiia of a safe and -tapers scattered about. He also dreamed that there was money buried there, lu the morning he went out to verily what he had seen m his sleep, and found a place in tbe graveyard where the earth bad been turned up, aud on digging the lost money was discovered burled, as he had seen it in his vision. The stolen treasures have been restored to the owner. Wo give the statements as we tiud them iu tha Aoilanc'ic, leaving to that paper the responsibility for their truth.

Special Lcspatchei to The Evening Telegraph, Washington, April 7. General ft rant' Iteceptlon I.ant Night. Last evening wa a fitting close to a day of memorable events. The occurrences of the morning lont to the gathering a special Interest, which was beight'-ncd by the unexpected pre sence of President Johnson at the levee. For many hours General Giant's not over- pacious mansion was thronged by tlio rank, fashion, beauty, and notabilities of the capital. The gucst3 were received in the two parlors on the left-hand side of the entrance, la the opposite reoms refreshments were served up, tiu.l th basement was devoted to dancing. Tho President arrived very curly, and unan nounced. He took up a position by the Bide of his distinguished General, aud shared in the labors of the reception. The guests h"ua.i to arrive about eight o'clock, and poured in in an increasing stream till hall-past leu or eleven. Not the least remarkable of the number was Alexander II. Stephens, of Geocgia, w hose spare, careworn figure and striking lace made him easily distinguishable ainontr the throng, and, though ho evidently so.tght retirement as much as possible, many old-time friends found him out and held him in pleasant conversation. The widely ditferent fate of these two Vtce-Presi-dents was too marked not to present itself to everyBmind. Among the assemblage who had come together on the neutral grjund of homse to Geueral Grant tnere were other coutruts a1 most as singular. Theodore Ttlton and Montgomery Dlalr entered at i.parly the same instant, Madame de Momholon and the French Ambassador en countered Madame J-uarez, leaning on tho arm of Senor Homeio, the Mexican Minister; Secre tary McCulloch and Freeman Clarke, his re bellious subordinate, elbowed each other iu the hallway. Shortly before 10 o'clock a hurried whisper passed round the room that Thad. Stevens was coming, and many pressed forward to see the ell'ect of such a meeting as that of the Pennsyl- vanian and the President on such a day; but there was no unusual manifestation on either side, and Thad., alter exchanging a distant cour tesy with the Chief Magistrate, passed into the next room with a gratified smile. Conspicuous among the guests, beside, those named, were Judge Tatterson, and Mrs. Patter son and Mrs. Stover, the President's daughters; Secretary Harlan and daughter, Secretary Welles and daughter, Mrs. Senator Foster, General Howard, of -tho Freedmen's Bureau, and General Fullerton, his former Adjutant General; Messrs. Washburne, Trumbull, Hogan, Judge Bingham, and other members of Con press. It is impossible, however, to enumerate half of the distinguished persons present, nor is it practicable to give more than a brief notice of the magnilldcnt toilettes of tbe ladies. Mrs. Grant wore a rich straw-colored moire, with a low corsage, trimmed with lace. The President's daughters, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover, were each attired in black velvet. Mrs. Seuator Foster wore a blue moire, trimmed with white tullc.and Madame de.Montholon a magnifi cent white satin dress trimmed with crimson velvet. Flowers and pearls were the prevailing head-dresses, and there was a conspicuous ab sence of diamonds and lewelry. Nothing occur red to mar the reception, which was pre-eminently a brilliant success. Uoveruor of Montana. It is rumored that Green Clay Smith is to bo appointed Governoinof Montana Territory. tha llaukrnpt Bill. A vigorous attempt is being made to resuscitate and pass the Bankrupt bill, but its chances are very slim. The Tax Bill will probably be reported next week. A number of articles will be added to the free list. To dis pense with tax on knowledge, it is proposed to reduce taxes on type, paper, and tnk, and arti cles used in their manufacture. Southern Relief Fair. Special Di spatch to the Evening Telegraph. Baltimore, April 7. Tbe grand fair held at the hall of the Maryland Institute is the great attraction of the city at present. Tbe affair was inaugurated some months ago, and has been pro secuted by the ladies having it in charge with great energy. The articles on sale have been furnished by tho charitable throughout the country, and tbe proceeds are to be applied to relieve the pressing want of persons aud families in theSouth rendered destitute by the ealamit-.es of tho war. Thctables are presided over by the be'les of Baltimore, and many of thctn are orna mented with wreaths of flowers and portraits of President Johuson, Gentrals Lee, Grant, and yowwatt Jaclscm. Philadelphia has sent laree aad valuable contributions. Several interesting relics and mementoes are on exhibition; among others, a portion of a coat worn by Stonewall Jackson when he was killed near Cbancellorsville; a pincushion made of fine velvet taken from a pair of breeches once worn by Washington; a magnificent; lot of braided hair, which a lady of Richmond, once in allluent circumstances, cut from her head and sold to procure lood for her starviug children; tho Vir ginia Gazelle of 1770, 1777, 1778. perhaps the only copy ol the old revolutionary paper extant; several autograph letters ot Washington, and among them a genuine letter addressed by tho great patriot to Mrs. Fairfax, of Virginia, on the Fourth of July, 1709, tbe year in which ho died. Abqut $GS,000 havo been tcalued already, and it is thought that the total receipts will amount to halt a million of dollar. The Fair will continue about two weeks. The Baltimore American vigorously opposes the object of the Fair. Tbe Odd-Fellows' Temple of the City or rulladelphla. HiRitisBUEa, April 7.

New Y ork, Apiil 7. The steamer Miantoiiomah has arrived from Fortress Monroe, under convoy oi the steamer De Soto. Mention has been mado of the enterprise undertaken by 11 Duca di SanCletnonte, nothing less extensive than a continuation of tbe Psalms, fifty ot which Marcello set, by commissioned Italian composers. The drst of these, by Siguor ttnzzini, the Bocchervni journal informs us, was performed the other day at Florence, in the Sula Sbolci. - The Chevalier Mariana has been conducting Chcrubini's J'Requiein" at Bologua, lor the obsequies of the Prince Oddone. "Les Forcats pour la Foi," by Athanase Coquercl tils, the eloquent preacher of tho ad vanced school of Protestantism, who was dis missed from his oflioe ot pasteur-sujj'raganl by the Consistory of Paris, some two years ago, is one of the most interesting books connected with the history of religious persecution in France that has ever been published, and is, at the same time, an authentic record of the cruel ties practised upon tho Huguenot galley slaves during the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI, taken from secret Stitte papers still existing in the archives, at once a proof of tho folly of bicoted intolerance, and of unflinching courage aud enduring faith. The book is far more interesting than most religious novels, and is as fascinating as the Scottish narratives of the "Old Mortality" Covenanters, which Sir Walter Scott worked up and perpetuated in his "Tales of My Landlord." The Arundel Society proposes, In the year 1808, to publish copies from tue upper three pictures of the altar-piece, by tbe Vau Eycks. at Ghent, and has ready for issue a chromo-lituo-graph after Fra Bartolommeo's fresco, "The Annunciation," iu the Villa of the Frate, Florence; "The Last Supper," by Ghir landaio, in the Oguisanti, Florence, chrotuo litbographed and copied by Mr. Sehultz: and a chromo-lithograph, by MM. Scorch and Kramer, from Luiui's "Adoration of the Magi," at Saronno, are in preparation for this veai's issue by the Society. The small ca-ts of machiue copies from tho statutes of 'Tue.-eus'' and "11 yssus"', in the Elgin collection, which the Society produced some time siuce at a price which was rather large, are out of sale. The Athenamm suggests that they should be replaced, aud reduced lu price, being con vinced that the, public is now belter able to appreciate those statues than it was a few years pi nee.

The point made by Mr. Drew Is that he wai the sublect of a conspiracy, and that his credit was in danger, which made it necessary for him to resort to toe courts tor protection. Daniel Drew, plalntlfl, comp'ains and alleges: hint, that on or about the 12th of January, 1SOT, he purchased 2000 shares of stock In tbe Michigan Sour, ern and Northern Indiaua Kailroad Company, ol the pat valito ot J?2u0 Odd, ut tlio price of sixty-live dollars a t-hare, deliverable in ninety riavs. ' Second Ttiaton or about tho 13tli day of January, he po d 20CO shares ot said s ock, and In order to ful fil his tiargaiu, boirowod the sa d shares, intending to return them, when the etcck so purchased as alorn-aid shnu d bedeilveied to him. 'Ihtrd. That tpse transactions wero dono thromrh the tirm of David tiroesboek & Co , who acted as the arents and biokors for tbo plainiilf. Fourth. That within a low (lavs pint tho person Irom whom thn plaintiff had last borrowed this stock lor the purpose atorosaid called upon tlio plaintiffs agents (or it, and they borrowed Irom tin- defend ants lor him 2e00 stares of said stock, to replace It on an agreement to returu the suuie wucn calloi lor by the defendants. Filth, l'hal there has been a frandulent combina tion and conspiracy betwoeii divers persons, many ot them not known to tho plnintin", to mako what is erined a comer in said stook by wltauoldiu shirrs from the market, and buying up, or pretending to buy up, upon tune or oilier contracts, all the stock ot said company in tho market, and by tlio e and other means giving tho ftoek a liotitious value, and lore ng up the pr co thereof to nearly doubip its teal value lor the cxpioss puroose of defrauding and extorting money Irom tbo plaiuutl and others slm. lurly situated. Sixth. That, as tho pl.ilntilT if informed and be lieves, the defendang a.e a par y to tlio said Iraud and conspiracy, and desire aud Intend thereby to defraud and lnjnro tho plaintitT; and that, in order to carry out auid Hand, tuny yesterday called uiion tlie said lJavtd Groesbeck & Co. for tho said stock, and the pneo being then exorbitant, the defendants arret d to wait until this mornini'; within the moan t mo the stock has risen ten per cent., which re suited trom like fraudulent practices, to which, as tho plulntitl is iulotmod and believes, tho defendants are a party, Seventh. 1 hat the dofondants again callod upon the plaintiffs agents this morning to deliver Bald stock, and they threatened, unlo.-s tho samo is de livered this morning, to buy the samo in upon the plaintill's account at the exorbitant rato now ruling us aforesuid, and to charge tho ptaintitf with the i.iico, aim also to call upon him and hi agent lor more tuoncv. Eivhtb. That if tho defendants carry out tholr pin poso, irreparable injury will be done to tlio tilaintiif; that his credit will suffer, and he w 11 bo charged, in accordance with tho custom among brokers, with a simulated pneo far greater than the aotual value ol thn said stock. Ninth. That tho pla'ntilT is ablo and willing to pay to the delcudants.and hereby offers to nay thera, the real and fair valuo thereof, and that by the liaudtilent combination aforesaid ho will have sus tained larpo damages ut the price thus fraudulently increased. Wherefore the plaintitT demands ludtrment : 1. J hat the dolendauts, and each ot them, may be r strained Dy an inlunotion from buying, or pretending to buy, upon the account of the plaln u If, or his said agents, David Groesbeck & Co., any shares of stock in said Company, and from calling upon them or hi in for money iu relation to said matters. 2. That he may recover damigoa against the defendants in the sum of $50,009. 8. That his contract may be resoinded, and the fair value of the stock ascertained, and upon pay ment thereof that ho muy bo discharged from all luKlier liability. After the injunction againt Scott, Capron A; Cqt was served yesterday, and the stock pur chased for them by Messrs.
