The Nevada Silver Mines.

The famous Comstock lode in Ne
vada, upon which so many mines are
located, has either nearly given out,
or else the ore has got to be sought
In new directions. Consequently
mining affairs are greatly depressed In
that leading section of the silver min
ing interest. The Virginia City Tres
pass thus reviews the situation: aa.
Six months since, every mine,
from the Overman on the south to
the Sierra Nevada on the north, com
manded inflated prices. There was
no exception among the number; and
even those mines which were daily
raising hundreds of tons Of milling
ore, and monthly declaring dividends,
did not justify rates daily quoted in
the stock market. As conservative
operators began to understand the
mstter, they commenced to with
draw their money, and the tendency
downward begun.
From the day that fellow Jacket
and Crown Point stock began falling
In the market, the decline has been
constant, the decrease IN. price Of
stocks extended to every company on
the lode. Commencing. as it aid, up
on the basis that prices had attained
en- unwarrantable hight in figures,
the decline has been aided by other
causes. Several mines that six
months since were hosting daily
from 200 20 500 tons of milling ore,
to-day are not hosting one-third of
that amount-aRd with all, ore is
very scarce in the old galleries, and

Rsr.e.se I'm the Reyenae.

The New York Herald recently pub
llshed table made up from the month
ly list of taxes assessed upon manufac-
turers in nearly all the districts Of New
York, and from many in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Massachusetts,. The re-
turns embrace the months of March
and April, for the years 1866 and 1867
and Oh comparing the amounts paid
each year, that Of 1867 shows falling
of of over 10 per cent. from that OF
1866. The returns published are from
ffty-four districts, and the total amount
received from these in 1866 was sl2,'
977, ,is9. 80, while in 1867 it-has decreased
to S7,775, ,39943. These figures, if cor
rect, Indicate that there will be 4 won
derful falling off in the internal reve-
nue. income for the current year, a
small portion only of which can be as,
cribed to the workings of the new tax
law with its reduced rates and large
additions to the free list.

A Suggestive Comparison.

Some of our contemporaries very aptly
compare the indignation of the Radical
press at Congressman KELLY's treat
ment at Mobile, with the levity in
dulgrd in on the occasion of the Presi-
dents visit last year to Indianapolis,
when he was insulted by a Radical
mob. Thisis but another of the thou
sand illustrations afforded by the Rad
lcals of what they mean by free speech.
and who are free to exercise the right
aud enjoy it. Not even is the Presi-
iient . privileged character if his
speech is offensive to Radicalism. while
any blackguard has the right to be in
salting and abusive, if he only conform
to Radical notions in his politics.

The most fiendish instance of villain
Gus cupidity, perhaps, of the present
age, occurred last Sunday night in New
Orleans. 1t appears that the body OF
Mr.. Charles P. Faures was lying in the
hall of the Louisiana Hose Company's
.ouse, corner of Perdido and Caronde-
let streets, prepared for interment by
his brother fremen on Monday, when
some creature, taking advantage of a
momentary absence of the watchers,
slipped in and robbed the corpse of two
silver pieces which had been placed, ae-
cording to custom, upon the eyelids OF
the dead man. Language fails to de-
scribe the damnable outrage perpe-
trated.

The Griffin Georgia. Star, in noticing
the speech of Senator WILSON at Allan

The Senator made one point clear, to-
Wit: That reconstruction, under the

of that bill, and sends to Congress rep

the Radical majority, who can he relied

with that majority, then tine reconstruc-

opinion against the validity of the
practice which has prevailed on many
railroads of carrying letters relating to
their business, outside of the mail, un-
stamped, and simply marked Rail

The Death Of Minister Wright-Note
from Count Bismark.

A correspondent of the New York
Uorld, writing from Berlin, gives the
particulars, of the last moments of min
lister Wright as follows:
Having Joined, as usual, with his
wife in morning worship on Saturday,
he remarked, as she called his servant
to dress him, that he had not felt so
well for week, and would spend a
part of the day on the balcony. Then,
suddenly exclaiming, at is warm here:
open the window, dear, am faint" he
dropped into the arms darted forward to
break his fall. The purple blackness
which had suffused his face gave way
TO the habitual psllor. There was u
momentary glance ofloving recognition,
aud he lay in wakeless sleep encircled
in the arms of his terror striken widow,
The following note from Count Bis
mark was received by Mr.. Wright's son
on the day of his fathers death:
Sir-I have just learned, with un-
feigned sorrow, that your father sue
cumbed to his protracted malady, and i
would not delay expressing to you my
participation in the profound mourning
into which this sorrowful event plunges
your family.
Of the relation which l have had the
privilege of maintaining with Mr.
Wright, during the period Of his sojourn
in Berlin, cherish the most tender re-
membrance.
Be pleased, sir, while accepting for
yourself the expression of my personal
esteem, to communicate the same to the
Government of the United States, and
to signify to it that the Government OF
the King shares fully in the national
sorrow which will be excited in your
country by the loss of a citizen who has
loyalty served and worthily represented
his fatherland. Accept on this occasion,
sir, the assurance of my distinguished
consideration. V. BlSMARk.
