THOSE REPORTS.

We notice in several of our Western
exchanges disposition to hold to the
strict performance OF their duties, the
gentlemen appointed to make reports to
Congress of the mineral regions in the
United States. This is right. A garb-
led, unreliable report is worse than none,
and for the sake of truth, the welfare of
the Territories and States reported up
on and the best interests of the country
at large, it were better they should re-
main unreported than to be slurred over
and misrepresented as Montana, the
greatest mineral region in his district,
was by Mr.. j. w. Taylor in his last re-
port; or, to have our mineral resources
dwarfed in comparison with others, as
was done in the very meagre report OF
Montana, given by Mr.. J. Ross Browne,
while our more easterly and westerly
neighbors were honored with volumi-
Gus descriptions of their resources and
developments. Mr.. Taylor had never
visited our Territory. That is an options
al matter and of secondary Importance.
His remissness and culpability was in
ignoring or rejecting, full, reliable and
well prepared report, furnished by an
honest, capable gentleman, resident in
Montana, by solicitation of Mr.. Taylor.
Before the publication of his report, he
was called upon by Governor Smith,
Judge Munson, Col. Sanders and other
gentlemen, who assured him of the error
of his estimates, and urging the mani
fest injury it would work to the inter.
ests of the Territory to publish an in.
correct and prejudical report, solici
ted a correction of the most important
errors. For some unexplicable cause
their assurances were unheeded, and the
carefully prepared statistics of Mr.. n. p
Langford were only in part accepted
and the balance made up on a specu
lative mathematical basis. Every man
in Montana knew their absurdity and
we condemned them at the time as in
incorrect and unjust. Mr.. Taylor
explained that it was merely pre-
liminary. and promised more attention
in the forthcoming report. Mr.. Brownies

all the theoretical reports ever written,

selves to be gulled by fine spun theories

Of they write, do not deserve success
If stockholders in such companies had
evidenced as little common sense in their
other business pursuits as they do in
mining operations, they would never
have had any money to invest in the
Rocky Mountains. We have just this
TO say to stockholders: Five years will
prove this the richest mineral region in
the world. We do not know a company
whose leads are not worth more than
was paid for them. 50 Freeze out is the

DESULPHURIZING.


Mr.. Hollister writes to the journal Of
Mining that the prospects of Colorado
are improving, and warns stockholders
not 20 sacrifice their property. The
thorough roasting of the ores it is now
agreed is the true method of mastering
the hitherto intractable sulphurets.
The leads of Colorado are numerous,
rich, and of good working capacity.
Many millions of dollars have been ex-
pended in development and machinery,
and can the ores be reduced economical
ly and a fair percentage of the precious
metals saved, Colorado will take a
first rank in the bullion producing Ter
ritories. Having determined that roast
ing is the process that must be followed,
they are now experimenting with fur
naces, that promise the most expedition
and economy. Tie Colorado Ore Com
pany and the Hope are using the Keith
process, at a cost of SIP 80 per ton, and
saving so per cent of the gold. Other
companies have abandoned the same
process. The Reese, Krause & Bruckner
desulphurizing cylinder is generally
considered to be the long looked for de-
sideratum, and it is upon this that the
miners are Luilding their hopes of BROS
perity. Prof Hill. with the Swansea
process, offers so per cent in gold fol
$50 rock, and increasing to go per cent
for $500 rock, but has as yet not fully
tested his process. Bertola's, the Cali
fornia and Kenyon Company's processes
are being experimental upon, and it il
not probable that the practical and sci
entific talent now earnestly engaged il
testing the refractory ores will be bafieC
1 in their efforts to reduce them with
fair margin of profit. In their success
we are directly interested. The depre
4 ciation of the Colorado stocks, and th'
\ failure of her companies to make any re
turns for the enormous investments b,
capitalists, has had a controlling ten
dency to prevent further investments il
western mining enterprises. Their sue
cess would encourage and stimulat'
stockholders and send another tide o
capital to the gold regions. Again, tn
mines of Montana may, at a create
depth than has yet been obtained, de
velop the same difficulties of reduction
as has attended the Colorado ores, al
though we are happy to say this supPo
sition is not,warranted by the best de
veloped leads in the Territory. 1t
well known, however, that the silve
ores not reducable by smelling, requir
roasting before the silver can be ex
tracted with the ordinary gold mills, an
the nearer our Colorado neighbors attain
perfection in furnaces combining capaci
", economy and thorough desulphuriza
tion, the better it will be for us as wei
as for them.

OPINIONS DIFFER.

Though the old rule, "de mortuis nil nisi
bonum," /" is doubtless followed often too far,
sometimes to the extent of suppressing truths
which, for the good of the living should be
known, the contrary is too often the case and
the dead are abused, who can speak no word
In their defence. The meanest exhibition of
this latter feeling that has come under our
notice was given at the Fenian Congress at
Cleveland last week. The report says:
"a resolution of respect for the memory of
Thos. Francis Meagher created heated dis
cussion, there being wide difference Of oPin-
ion as to his merits, and the services he had
rendered the Fenian cause. Applause and
Kisses greeted every repetition of his name.
Whatever may have been the faults of
Thomas Francis Meagher, he was one of the
most brilliant and talented Irishmen who
have made this country their home. He ever
commanded the respect and admiration of a
large circle of friends, and was always most
enthusiastic in his love for his native land.
It was a melancholy display of unmanly spite
for Congress of Irishmen, assembled os-
tensibIy for the benefit of Ireland, to hiss the
name of dead man who had suffered so much
for his devotion to her, as had Thomas Francis
Meagher.-[ New York Times, Sept. 21.
General Meagher was as true a lover
of his native country as ever fought up
on her soil or remained faithful in exile.
Believing the present designs of the
Fenian organization impracticable, and
productive of no good under present cir
cumstances, he did not lend his infiu-
ence or eloquence to visit upon Canada
revenge for England's tyranny in Ire.
land, and this invoked the enmity OF
rash. inconsiderate Fenians who did not
understand his real motives. In young
er and less prudent days he was Fen
ian on Irish soil, and his exile was a
constant reminder of the folly of Irish
rnen urging their countrymen to Ike
! fate when there is no promise of success.

PENNsYLvANIA AND OHIO.

The dispatches say that these States
have gone Democratic. 1t is doubtless
true. The Republicans went into the
contest expecting defeat, and the Demo
cratic majorities as indicated by the
dispatches, fall below the number con-
ceded in anticipation by the best calcu-
lators in the Union party. In 1866 the
Republican party carried Pennsylvania
for Gov. Geary by 17,17S majority in a
total vote of 597 ,37S. The corruption
attending Cameron's election to the
Senate over Curtin was the most dis
graceful event that ever characterized
the political history of the party in that
State. The Republican press condemned
it in the most unmeasured terms, and
every Cameron member but one was re-
pudiated by the party. That action
filed its ranks with soreheads. Four
months ago Thad. Stevens declared de-
feat inevitable, and the election has JUS
titled his predictions. None of the prom
inent speakers of the State have been on
the stump, and the returns will show
that 100, 1000 Union voters have not gone
to the polls at the election for Judge OF
the Supreme Court. The side issues in
Maine, California, Pennsylvania and
Ohio have brought disaster and reduced
majorities to the Union party. In Ohio
the negro suffrage question was the rock
upon which the party was wrecked
The returns show that $4,000 Republi
cans who voted the Union ticket reject
ed the Constitutional amendment, pro
badly one fifth of the entire vote of the
party, while it kept thousands of Others
from going to the polls. Four fifths o.
the Northern States will doubtless fol

ton is submitted for the first time. i

preiudices of one class of men, and con

An EXHAUSTED GAME.-The rumor
mOngers East have busy time assert
ing and contradicting that Grant said
this, and Grant didn't say that, in regard
to the Presidency. General Grant is
made of pretty much the same material
as other men, and Randolph asserted a
truth when he said, the Presidency is
a position neither to be sought or de-
clined," and the truism is as applicable
in this day as his. The presentation of
a candidates name so long before the
nomination invokes the severest ordeal
to which he can be subjected. General
Grants name has been the most promi-
nent OF all the candidates, and failing to
find flaw in his armor of loyalty, ser
vice and ability, his enemies fall back
from the attack, and excuse themselves
by publishing rumors that he is not a
candidate. General Grant has never
declined promotion; he is not likely to
decline seat in the Presidential chair
unless invited by the voters of the
Union to do so. The political thimblc
riggers have about exhausted the game
of "now he runs and now he don't run, .
and might as well close up their show.

How 20 Make an Oath Strong.

On the accession of a new auditor in
one Of our custom-houses, several years
ago, he found considerable looseness in
tho machinery by which the fishing
bounties were paid at that establishment.
He determined to correct the proceed
ings, and then return with Joy to the
original and honest state of things. BE
1t known that the oath required Of an
applicant for this bounty is long rude
compilation Of solemnites, and had
usually been sputtered over with indeli.
cate and unseemly haste. One day a
clustering and confident-looking skip.
per came to the desk with his bundle of
papers, looking as if he had robbed the
cirenmlocution office, and wanted some
bounty. The new auditor rose to tall
majesty, took the great books of oath
in his hand, fixed his keen eye on Mr..
skipper, requested him to uncover his
head, hold up bis right hand, and re-
peat after him the oath as he read it.
They had not travelled more than hall
way through the serious business when
the hand Of the skipper fell as if his
arm bad been struck by a chain.shot.
