But there Ih a lively contest going on with reference to the Assistant Commissioners of Highways, lliram Dorter, the Commissioner for the lower portion of the city, has but one opponent, Henry B.

Mancely, Eighteenth ward ; Frederick (ietz, Ttventy Cith ward; Benjamin H. Thomas, Twelfth ward; ;eorge Meyers, Twenty-eighth ward (retiring mem ber of Common Council). The tight seems to have narrowed down between Rlttenhouse anil Mancelv, although some of the others will show a decidedly strong tront. The contest has waxed warm, and there were rumors this morning that there was a probability of one or two of the members of Com mon Council being ruled out of the caucus, JOTTiNfis. -The carpet weavers, of whom there ar about four thousand in this city, are again turning ut.

Douglas viBiteds the White House to-dar. but the President mnde no mention of tho matter to him nor to prominent members of the Way and Means Committee, who were also at the White House. It is still thought that Douglass will be appointed, but it does not appear that the President has finally agreed upou it. Applicants for Ofllce. In conversation with several prominent Re publicans from tne West, the President stated that he bad been more worried about appoint ments, within the last weeK or two, by certain New York and Pennsylvania politicians, than he had during the whom of his administration. Be said it seemed almost Impossible to satisfy tne various coimicting factions in thoso States He no sooner 'made one appointment than a horde of other oiiiee seeKers were here to op pose it.

The New Hennlor from North Carolina Some' thins About ula Cureer. The last Legislature of North Carolina con tained a Republican majority of S3 in the Senate and 44 in the House, or 77 on joint ballot. Bnt, by the suicidal policy pursued by the Southern Republicans in almost every reconstructed State, this overwhelming majority was sacri Cced, and at the election held yesterday for successor to United States Senator Abbott, the vote in the Legislature stood 01 for ex-Gorernor Zcbnlon B. Vance to 43 for Joseph C. Abbott the present Senator. Zebulon B. Vance, the new Senator-elect, is a native of North Carolina, and was born in Bun combe county, in that State, May 13, 1830. After receiving a limited education he passed a year at the Stats University, and then studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1853. In 1854 he was elected to the State Legislature from Bun combe county, and in 185S, ou the resignation of Hon. T. L. Clingman, was elected tho successor of the latter on the Federal House of Representatsves. He was re elected for the full term ending March 4, 1861. leaiag his seat at the outbreak of the Rebel lien, although a Whig and claiming to have been a Union man theretofore. He wu elected Governor of North Caro Una, ana served in that capacity from 1801 to 18G4. In the latter pact of 18G3 he addressed significant letter to Jeff. Davis on the subject of peace, declaring that the only way of removing the discontent then prevailing in North Caro lina was by maliing some attempt at negotiating with the federal uovernmetU. In August, 1804, he was again elected Gov ernor, receiving 54,000 votes to 20,000 for Wil liam W. Holden, the result being that the State would seek peace only in co-operation with the other Statei of the Confederacy. Vance re mained In the pretended exercise of his guber oatorial functions after the close of hostilities; until May 29, 18C5, when Holden was appointed Provisional Governor. Since that time h has been a bitter and uncompromising oppoaent of the Congressional policy of reconstruction, and J )n a speech delivered lu September, 1803, made life of such choice expressions as the following: 'Hell! Mood! fmy! thunder!" try the radicals; you are iJkyal! yon mean war! I, Zsbnlon 'Vaaee, doa't Intend o live in a land where I am disfranchised, and I don't intend to leave it. The nt-j?ro Is naturally an aristocrat, and hates a scalawag. Did you ever burn a dog's nose with a cigar ? Every time he sees yon, he'll tuck his tail and travel," etc., etc. Zebulon will doubtless act with the Demo crats when he takes his seat in the Senate. OUR RED BRETHREN. Peaee Nrtotlntloaa lo be Comaienred with the Apnrhca A Meeting of the ladlaa I'eaee Cfiinmlpiitlon lo be Held. Mr. Vincent Colyer, secretary and member of the Indian Peace Commission, arrived in this city yesterday from an extended tour among the Indians of Southern Kansas and the Iuil'un Territory, where, with Messrs. Lang and Far- well, be has been arranging for the sale of the Osnge lands, and providing a new home for that tribe in the Indian Territory. lie also, in companv wiih Uishon Animate. of Wisconsin,, visited the Oneidas, in tho north ern part of that State, a proposal having come up before the last session of Conirrcs looking to the removal of that tribe from their rcf.ent reservation. It was found that the bill had been introduced iuto Congress without the knowledge of tho tribe, and they wero bit terly hostile to the measure. They are far advanced in civilization, hiving as good, well constructed houses, barns, schools, and churches as the majority of the Western set tlers. 1 he commission then proceeded to the headwaters of the Columbia river, in Northern Idaho, Washington and Oregon lerntorles, where the Indians were all found steadily ad vancing in the pursuits of civilized life. The commissioners are much disappointed at not having uaa time to visit Ansona, where the Apacbep, under Cochiese. the most warlike, probably, of the whole Iudlau race, are iu per petual conilictwith the whites. CocIucbo, since Red Cloud has made peace with the whites, Is the onl3' really troublesome chief that the army and the people on the frontier have to encoun ter, len years ago this chief, iu consequence of a violation of a Hag by the whites, svore perpetual vengeance, and so acted up to last year, when he sent word to the agent of tho (southern Apaches, on the Itlo wrande, that he would come in and forsake the "war-path." Up to ti c present moment, however, the Govern ment has not been able to avail itself of that opportunity for making the peace that exists with the Indians generally; but the attempt will be made at the earliest practicable moment. The Board of Commissioners will have m early meetine in this city, and their report will be given to the public. The interview of Messrs. Rrunot and Camp bell with Red Cloud and the Sioux this summer, which will form a portion of the report, has already been given to the public. Washington Patriot. SAVAGE VENGEANCE. An Indlnn Woman Avenaen the Death of Her Itunbnud bv tllurderlna two Pontons. Oakland (C.) Corre. Han t'raitcisco Chronicle, A terrible murder was committed last Satur day, 10th inst., near Centreville, in this county, by as Indian woman named Anistaba. It ap pears that some months ago Aalstaba's hus band was killed by another Indian near the Alviso Ranche. The Indian who committed the murder was arretted at the time and brought before the justice for examination, but the parties (Indians) who witnessed the murder being afraid or unwilling to testify, the de fendants had to be discharged from cus tody. Anistaba since that time has been wandering about, swearing vengeance on the whole Mexican and Indian race. On Wednesday last she seized au axe, and rushing on an Indian named Juan, dashed bis brains out with it. She then turned upon her own daugh ter, a girl ten years of age, and 6truek her a blow on the head with the axe. She then took tbo child in her arms and carried her about a mile down the msrsh, near the bay shore, and after splitting the child's head open, she hid tho body in the grass and weeds. After this she attempted to kill herself by chopping the top of her own head with tha axe. The body of the Indian Juan was found dead, and the child being missed, a search was instituted and the body found as above described. Constable Trefy, of Centreville, lodged the woman in the county jail at San Leandro on Sunday morning, to which she was committed by the acting justice. Since the commission of the crime she has acted as a perfectly saue person, except when she first appeared at tho house near "Alviso Hills." Before tho arrest she acknowledged the murder, and gave as her motive a desire to die herself, as she had no way of making her living. Violent deaths 6ecm to "run" among these people, the last husband of this woman having been killed a few days ago in a drunken row by an Indian. xrrcsLXiicmrica. The Post Office Cave.

FROM TUE WEST. TrnoMnrlloaa af the (.rent Weatcra Telegraph ('lupnn jr. Chk'Aoo, Nov. 30. Tho Tribune this morn ing makes un exposure of the financial transac tions of the Great Western Telegraph Cooa pany,which has two lines iu operation Irom this cit' one to Milwaukee and one to Omaha which if true oilers something new in schemes for raiding aioney. The Tribune says the capi tal stock of the company is three millions, in 10,000 shares of i25 each. Of the 120,000 shares constituting the whole of the stock 117,807 shares was subscribed by Seluu Reeve, and by him conveyed to Josiah Snowden in trust for the company, to sell the same, aud pay avails back to Reeve in fnlhlmeut of a contract m.tde by the company with Reeve to construct 20,000 miles of the company's line. In accordance with tbis the stock is bciug sold by the compauy throughout the couutry. One of the by-laws of the company provides that no certificates of stock shall be issued until 4 per cent, ot the whole shall have been paid In, and as it is left entirely optional with the company as to wben aud how much tho assessments under forty rer cent, on the stock may be, it seems probable that thoso who sub eci be for stock on these coudltious are likely to wait some time before they have any voice in the election of directors or management of the company. The names of 2'i most respect able business gentlemen ot this city are pub lished as directors, and though these have been formally elected by the company, it is alleged that none of them have been cpualitied as directors, and that they know nothing of its business transactions. Recently a suit has been brought by some persous in the city who subscribed for stock. They filed a bill alleging fraud in the contract made by the com pany with Reeve, In which it 19 agreed to pay him, at the rate of (300 per mile, for a line of poles, furnished with one wire, and an addi tional $1 00 per mile for each additional wire, viz., f -100 per mile; when the poles are furnished with two wires, $500 per mile; when furnished with three wires, t'iOO per mile; when furnished with four wires, t700. It is aliened that a line of poles, with one wire, can be furnished at from 125 to $130 per mile. This allegation Is sus tained by the testimony ot at least nait-a-uo.eu telegraph builders of experience and established renntatlon. If the comnanv should rtav Reeve at the rate of $300 per mile, it would leave a net profit of $440,000; and when he had fur nished the mil complement oi iour wires, makinir the total cost to the company $000 per mile. The net profit on hla contract would be about $700,000. The 40 per eent. of money which the stockholders are to pay m ue lore any certincates oi stocs are to oa lfstiea to tneni wouia amount to i,uu,uw This corresponds to the amount of the construc tion contract to Reeve at $000 per mile, which amounts to lust $1,300,000. The construction contract and the payments on the stock are arranged that the money paid in shall be paid out to Reeve before the stockholders have re ceived any certificates of stock or have any voice in the disposal of their money.

The steamer Robert Lowe railed from Heart's Content on Saturday last to repair tha Atlantic cabla of lbOO, which was injured about sixty-fiv mils from that point. We have just received infor mation that the cable of 1865 has also ceased to work, and that the fault is about the same dis tance from Heart's Content. It is therefore probable that the steamer has grappled the wrong cable. As the steamer Is on the spot, it is hoped both cables will soon be re paired. Although the French cable is able to transmit westward with about Us usual facility It Is Irom some unknown cause unable to trans mit eastward except with great difilculty and very slowly. Notice it hereby given that for the present messages cannot be received for any part of Europe. Tbe public will be informed at the earliest momeut that messages can be received for JLurope. Ctrus N . Fibld 1KTERF.SU' (3 SUIT. Inn the Hrlr of a IMan wh. ha. ('oinmltlCff ptulr.lde IhIiii Ilia Lite fnaurancef The Hartfort J'ost of a recent date says: A notice that an action had been commenced, by Anna M. Buell, relict of the late Jeptha C. Budl, of Cleveland, Ohio, against the Connecti cut Mutual Life Insurance Company, for the sum of $10, COO, w as received at their office on tbe 17th inst. Jepiha C. Buell was insured la the Connecticut Mutual Life under policy No. 54.S0, for $10,000, on the 2d day of March, lfcCiO, and committed suicide by shooting him self with a pistol on tho 15th day of November, lfcOO. Mr. Buell was insured in three other com panies for $10,000 each, making a total insur ance of $40,000. Of thse companies the New Yoik Life insures against suicide, and has paid its policy of $10,000. The Connecticut Mutual Life, of this citv. tho Mutual Life, of New York, aud the Mutual Benefit, of New Jersey, do not insure against suicide, and these three compa nies have combined in the defense against the suits brought on t ehalf of Anna M. Buell. The case will very likely be carried by cither party which is unsuccessful in the Circuit to the Su preme Court of tbe United States. We shall so get an adjudication of the law of suicide which shall be final and authoritative throughout the United Stoles. Jeptha C. Buell was cashier of the Second National Bank of Cleveland, and becoming a defaulter, preferred death to exposure, dis grace, and imprisonment. The Coroner's jury, as usual in such cases, brought in a verdict that be came to his death by a pistol-shot delivered by his own hand while in a state of temporary insanity. We are led to remark here that in sanity is alarmingly on the increase in this countrj'. According to coroners' juries, whose verdicts are not very important in courts, every man who gets insured aud commits suicide Is insane, and every man who commits murder is insane. It will be noted that it is over ono j-ear since the loss occurred, and nearly a year since the right of a claim occurred, and It wa feare the claimants would not commeuce an action. It is a satisfaction that the commencement of the actions is announced, as the large amount in controversy, the ability of the plulntiff to prosecute, the weight of three corporations de fending, the ability of counsel retained on both sides, assures a more satisfactory discussion and authoritative settlement of tbe law of sui cide as applied to life insurance contracts than has j et been had.
