Samuel Leonard, President of the Rocky
Mountain City and Colonization Company, ar
rived at st. Louis on the 10th, from the Gold
Region. The Evening Bulletin says
He brings eighteen pounds of pure gold, and
valuable specimens in nuggets and quartz gold.
He left the heart of the diggings on the 25th
Of Jolly, having been there about two months
Mr.. Leonard is one of the first Geoogists of
Missouri, and his mission to the mines was to
make thorough examination of the geography
and geology of the Rocky Mountain country,
and ascertain the extent of the gold bearing re-
giOn. He found gold in all the streams that
have their source near the Cone, Snow Capped
Mountains but in streams that headed near the
base of mountains the quartz found was very
limited, and it was upon the latter that the in-
specting Of the returning crowd of miners was
mostly done. He estimates the number of peo-
pie dependent on the mines at O0O-divided
as follows 5000 doing nothing and making
less-3O,O 900 making a comfortable living, and
5000 Oaccumulatng large fortunes. The health
at the mines is not good in consequence of bad
water. Mr.. Leonard visits the States to obtain
machines for extracting gold from the rock
The Western slope is said to be as auriterous
as the Eastern.

Perhaps the most important Office to be filled
in each Senatorial District this year, is that Of
member OF the State Board of Equalization -
1t is an office in which every man who owns
property is directly interested
The Board is composed of one member from
each State Senatorial District, and he duty Of
the Board is to take the valuation of the proper.
ty in each county, as made by the appraisers,
and so equalize the value of one county with
another that each county shall pay a proper
tion Of the taxes equal to the taxable value OF
each county compared with each other county.
That is to say, the Appraisers Of one county
may appraise too high and those Of another
county may appraise too low, in proportion to
the average value of property, and it will be the
duty of the Board of Equalization to bring
such and all counties up OF down in appraiso
meut TO such degree will ensure, IN the
opinion of the board, equality.
Property holders will therefore see that, up
on the judgement and ability of the men of the
Board of Equalization hangs the raising or low
erng of their average taxation.
This board meets at Columbus on the LIST
Monday in next November. and each member
will receive out of the State Treasury the sum
of $500 per day and 800 for every 25 miles
necessarily travelled in going to and from Col
umbus
II will take from one to three months for the
board 10 finish its business.

The enterprise Of the American Fur Company
has demonstrated that the Missouri River is
navigable for steamboats, a distance of over
three thousand miles from its mouth The
steamer Spread Eagle, in connection with the
Chippewa, has completed this season one o.
the most remarkable trips on record in the nav
igation of Western Rivers, having traveIsed
the Missouri from its mouth to Fort Benton--a
point within sixty miles of the head waters Of
the Columbia, and 3, 3,l20 miles above the mouth
of the Missouri. This is 900 miles above the
mouth of the Yellow Stone, and 700 miles far
ther than any other steamboat has ever been.
She made the trip of $500 miles in 79 days.-
The Chippewa made the trip from the mouth Of
the Yellow Stone 10 Fort Benton. The soli-
tuJes abound in game; large bands of buffalo,
elk. and mountain sheep, might be seen at any
time beyond tho Yellow Stone, and occasion
ally the grizzly bear. The Eagle brought down
a number OF mountain men, and 4337 packa-
ges Of buffalo robes and furs.

The meetings addressed by Mr.. Donnison in
Southern Ohio are largely attended, and HE
speeches are able and highly satisfactory. OF

'It was sound in Republican doctrine from

ultraism, and demonstrated that what is now
"black Republican doctrine" and denounced as
dangerous to the Union of the States, BY the
Democrats Of Ohio, was but ten years ego, BY
these same Democrats, proclaimed as pure De-
mocracy,"

The Washington dispatch of the 18th 70 the
New York Herald, says
Senator Douglas appears to be utterly dis
gusted at the progress Of the developments
which are gradually being made in relation to

that, in common with Dickinson, of New York,
and Wise, of Virginia, he had considered Fer

The Artesian Well.

The Gazette states that the State House ell
is now 2,O62 feet deep, aud the water rises to
within 81 feet of the surface, which gives a
column of water 2,O95 feet high. The pres
sure, therefore, at, the bottom Of the well
will be the weight of this column of water
which is 300 lbs. per square inch, or l27OOG
lbs. per square foot; this is equal to pressure
of about 90 atmospheres
Some idea may be formed Of the extent oi
this pressure, when il is stated that locomotive
boilers generally carry a pressure of steam
amounting to less than eight stmospheres.
Another fact worthy of note is, that the

Gov r. and the State Rights Democracy Of
Texas became the champions Of the African
Slave trade, and made that issue prominent
plank Of their platform. Gen. Houston knew
the masses Of the people Of Texas so well, that
he did not hesitate to announce himself as an
Independent Candidate for Governor and to
meet the new issue aat.footed. The result is
that he is chosen Governor by some 5000 ma
jority, aud what is more, Legislature is at the
same time elected which will return him to the
Senatorial seat which he vacated in March last.
The triumph of Gen. Houston, under the
circumstances, is a bitter Cose to the Slave
Code, Slave Trade Democracy. His great per
sonal popularity had considerable to do with his
success, but it is mainly attributable to his An
tl-Slaye trade position. 1t gained him the
support of the Germans, in spite Of his Amer
icaHism in 1885, and the more moderate Demo-
Gratis and Opposition of all classes. Gen. Hous-
tons triumph is one of the marked events Of
the political contest soon TO eliminate in a

changes of the men who figure on the Demo
cratic checker-board. The E1 President of the
