BALTIMoRE, July 10, 1919.

An opposition to California seems to have been
discovered on the other side of the Atlantic. The
last from Africa, by the Liberia packet states
that gold can be obtained the base Of the noun
tains in that country, at much less trouble than in
California and the specimens exhibited besides
Of much richer quality. II this intelligence is con-
irmed, our adventurous gold seekers will be stu
ated somewhat like the donkey between two
bundles of hay, scarcely knowing to which side
they ought to turn.
An aged gentleman named Suzer, a native Of
Berlin, Prussia but for the last fifty years a resi-
dent of this city, died yesterday. Mr.. S. was one
Of the old defenders, and distinguished himself at
the battle Of North Point.
The funeral procession in honor Of the late ex-
President will take place on the first Monday in
September. From the taste and judgment Of the
gentlemen engaged in making the necessary prepa-
rations, anticipate tribute Of respect worthy Of
the occasion which demands it, We have nothing
but the duness incident to the season to complain
Of The pestilence which is ravaging other cities
has avoided us thus far, and the bills Of mortality
exhibit the general health Of the city as excellent
The weather is pleasant, and the temperature of
the atmosphere somewhat below the average range
at this season.

LOCAL MATTERS.

CRIMINAL CoURT.-Ths court, it is expected
will adjourn to-day. Nothing of any importance
occurred in its proceedings yesterday, worthy
of special notice. We learn, however, that the
United States Marshal for the district selected
yesterday, for his deputies, Captain John II. God
dard, now chief of the Auxiliary Guard, and Mr..
J. Laurens Henshaw, teacher of the LIST District
Public School; and their appointments, from their
known ability and qualifications, give general salts
faction.
AUXILIARY GuARD-We are informed that Mr.
JONAS B. ELLIS, of the sixth ward and one of its
present popular representatives in the City Coun-
ellis, and in the Directory of the Public Schools has
been selected by the Mayor as the successor of
Mr. Goddard, in the captaincy of the Guard. Mr..
Ellis, in frmness, efficiency, and gentlemanly man.
ners unes the qualities necessary for the discharge
of the duties Of the post and his selection gives un-
mixed pleasure to his numerous friends through
out the city.
ExcuRsIoN.-The National Greys, Capt Bacon,
took trip down the Potomac yesterday evening,
in the steamer Columbia, accompanied by large
party of ladies' and gentlemen, and we have no
doubt enjoyed themselves freely
METROPOLIS BANK.-At ameeting of the trustees,
chosen by the stockholders on the ID instant, held
Monday last at their clearinghouse, JOHN w.
MAURY, esq, was unanimously reelected Presi-
dent of that institution.
TAruM's GREAT PAmTMG.-We take special
pleasure in calling attention to the splendid paint
ing entitled the "REDEMPrIoN," by Joel Haywood
Tatum, now exhibition at the Ryland chapel,
It'll ward. We are glad to see that the churches
have opened their doors for the encouragement and
contemplation of those solemn and sacred works of
art, and we are of opinion that lover of the Re-
deemer of man, or admirer of genius and the fine
arts, should let an opportunity pass of inspecting
and contemplating those sublime scenes Mr.. Ia
tum has received the highest praise of the press
wherever his works have been seen; and national
pride, if nothing else, ought to induce every AMERr
CAN to patronize his bold and noble enterprise.

We take the following sketch of the late Colonel
Duncan from the Mobile Advertiser. From its
minuteness it appears to have been written by one
of his brother officers, or by person familiar with
ssmy history:
Years have passed over our Republic, during
which her scholars, her orators, her statesmen and
her heroes have descended TO the tomb, leaving
honors fame, brilliant and happy existence upon
earth, and names not born TO die to adorn the an
nails OF their counfry's history. Yet we believe in
no single year Of her peaceful existence have so
many Of her great and distinguished men been hur-
ried TO " that bourne from which no traveller e'er
returns" More recently they have rapidly fol-
lowed each other. The veteran warrior whose
head had become whitened in his countrys service,
had scarce been deposited that last resting place
for all the living, when resident, who had just
thrown of the cares Of office for the hopes and en-
ioyments OF domestic life, fills the country with
mourning DER his sudden and unexpected depart
nre from existence and now, while the vlbratory
response OF amentaton and regret wraps our pub
Vac prints in mourning, and echoes from every part
of the country, we are called upon to record the
sudden and unexpected death Of younger patriot,
noble soldier, most deserving as he was a highly
distinguished man.
Col JAMES DUNCAN, Inspect or General Of the
army ofthc United States and one Of the heroes OF
the war Of Mexico, is no more.
