Discovery of Valuable Marble Quarry In Sank
County.

We learn that ono of the most valuable
quarries of marble in this country has
been recently opened in Sank county
The marble is pure carbonate of lime,
without any other mixture. 1t is Il snowy
white, and takes q remarkable lustrous
polish. Specimens that we have seen in
dictate that the products Of this quarry arc
superior to many Of tho Vermont marbles,
and equal to the best. 1t constantly i'm
proves, rs the various strata are opened,
and a greater depth from the surface is
reached, and blocks arc now got out four
and five feet in thickness Some years
since block was procured from this
quarry, and dressed for the Washington
monument But it was taken from where
the ledge cropped out, and showed mono
Of the pure beauty of that quarricd out
at greater depths. The people about, in
getting it ont to burn for lime, reached
some of this superior quality
1t is singular that this immense bed Of
wealth should have lain there so long
without & suspicion in any mind of It's cy-
istcncc. The quantity there Is sufficient
- suHp'v the whole wants Of the Nissis-
sippi valley. Our marble workers and
builders arc now USING It, and q company
has been formed to work the quarry and
oct the marble out for export Wisconsin,
CAPITOL
The fact Of the existence Of rich marble
quarrics in Richland and Sank counties,
was noticed in our columns moro than ten
years age, and generally copied in our
state exchanges. We visited that section
OF the country at that time, and procured
q specimen Of tho marble, which on being
polished presented as fine surface as
any marble we have seen. This specimen
was examined by many workers in mar
bic and pronounced of an excellent quail
ity. We arc glad that there is a prospect
Of It's discovery being turned to some ac-
count We have long wondered that it
was not moro public.

SIR Soon after the arrest Of the con-
spiraloss and ,vouiI-ho asaasslns Of the
late iamcntc,i President lincoln, reporter
81 the New York jYof}d stated that they
were all, without an exception, Catholics.
Tins assertion was extensively COPIED INTO
the papers Of tho country, ana was looked
upon as trne, for no Catholic paper here IN
New ork ATTEMPTED 10 rciuto IT. The
CothoHc 1ciegrapb, Of Cincinnati denied
its truth, the WcrM did not make the cor
rcction. Now, what IS the fact? -Four Of
the conspirators weFe yesterday hanged,
and on the gal!ons eHpintcd their awful
crime, but only one OF the tour died q
CathoHc. Of those imprisoned, only one,
DR. Mudd, is a Catholic
Now, what wish to say about this is,
that if the JafbHne had made the statc-
Inent tho UI0,ld did, we would not have
heard the last Of it. for tho Tablet, the
Freeman, Irish 1nerican, etc, would
have written columns in reply, and would
have denounced the Biack Republic IN,

abused by these organs of Irish Catholic
ism (?) through all the moods and lenses ;
and it would be abducted at the next cleo
ton az an evidence Of the Catholic
and antiIrish spirit of Abolitionism. But
the JTorh being II good sound copper
hcadpro slavery-Dcmocratic paper, it has,
| suppose, special liccnse to say wha.-
ever it plcascs about Catholics One thing
is certain, Democratic papers can abuse
the Irish and the Catholics to their hearts
content, without a protest from the would

enough that the DcmOcratic-ridden Catho-

Political CliqHes.

As Ion9 ago as in cur school bog days
there existed Mt Albany, y y. corrupt
political clique, known ~ tho "Albany
Regency" who had the entire control OF
the political affairs Of that great State, so
far as tho democratic party was con
cernod For long time no man of that
party stood tho least possible chance of
nomination for State Office unless his
namo was properly presented 10 the Alba-
ny Regency, and by them challod down
upon the political slate They brought
their influence to bear upon tho Lcgisla
ture, and in not few instances the in
terests of the people Of different portions
of tho State were bartcrcd away for the
friendship of those political ieaders-
Their State tickets were usually agreed
upon during the sessions OF the lcgisla-
ture, and seldom failed to receive the sane
ton Of their conventions with great unan.
unity
The success Of the Albany Regency in
controlling the nominatior5 and patronage
Of the democratic party IN New York, we
have no doubt has stimulated political
leaders in other States to n similar corrupt
course. We had an evidence Of it In our
own State in the days Of "Barstow and tho
balance who had so long been in power
that they appeared to think the State Off
ceE belonged to them as an article Of trait
tic, and that the State patronage was q
currency ut their disposal
That there IS q similar clique IN anI
about Madison ut this time, there il MOI
q shadow Of doubt, and though opposition
to It's intrigucs may "work corruption of "
political friendship, we are not disposed
to remain silent upon the subject We
have carefully watched tho workings of
these solfconstituted guardians of the
public interests for several years, and II
more than one instance know tf:at the
choice Of a IN iority of the party for q
Stutc ofiico was set aside for the benefit of
man of inferior qualifications, whose
namo appeared on the list prepared
months before the convention, in lcgi,la-
tive caucuses gotten up by the 50 called
Madison Clique That there was State
ticket 50 prepared Mt Madison before the
adjournment of tho legislature last spring.
we have the best Of reasons for believing
We DO not say that good mon arc not on
tho ticket; but we do say that II our State
offices nra 70 he filled with maa thus
