The Colorado case was crowded over
by Thad. Stevens long conhscation
speech. Mr.. Stevens attempted to de-
liver it, and broke down. Clerk Nc
Pherson then read 1t for him. 1t was
almost vindictive in It's tone, and there
is little probability that its sweeping
recommendation will be complied with.
The supplemental reconstruction
bill has finally passed both houses to-
day, and will be presented TO the Presi-
dent on Wednesday, The disagreement
between the two houses as to the ratiti.
cation of the constitutions Of the States

neither. The House, however, after 8
long debate, did not pass the bill, but
let it go over till Wednesday.
Under the present act OF Congress
entitled IAN act TO amend the existing
laws relating TO the internal revenue"

RUTLAND AED RaBsg RIVER MINING
CossAsY.--The following notice taken
from the Daily Reese River Reveille, in
reference to the operations in Reveille
District, Nevada, and The property OF
the Rutland and Reese River Mining
Company, indicates the favorable POSI-
tion Of that company, in which some Of
our citizens are interested: .....
We are informed by person who re-
Gently arrived in town from the Reveille
District that the Rutland and Reese
River Company is pushing work for
ward with great energy. Some ten tons
of good looking ore have been taken cut
of the Mohsska ledge, and about the
same amount from the Bay State.
These claims are being we'll opened.
and the indications are favorable that
they will prove valuable and permanent
property. In the judgment of our inforni-
ant the ore obtained from these lodges
will yield at least 500 per ton. The
mill Of the company Is located on she
western side of the valley, about ten
miles from these mines, and 10 convent
ent 70 those of the Hot Greek District.
The location Is said to be excellent, am-
bracing as it does good water power
and large tract of timber, besides hav-
ing 10 its vicinity an extensive salt de-
posit. The mill building is nearly
completed, and the machinery, which Is
adapted to the ores OF the district, is be-
ing pat in place with dispatch. We
learn that Mr.. J. w. Narney, Who has
acquired broad reputation for his sue
cessful manipulation OF the various ores
of the region, is to conduct the mill.
The agent Of the company, W. G. Blake
ly, is now on the ground busily exertiag
himself In causing ore to be hauled 70
the mill. which he hopes to have dnisheA
and running In twenty days. The eree-
tion Of the mill by the company is re-
garded as happy event by the miners
of the district, as it will enable them TO
demonstrate the superior grade q their
abundant ores. Prosecuting work en-
the mines In remote section OF the
country, to say nothing of the erection
OF quartz mill during midwinter, in
che face of great obstacles, ard Gar re-
moved from the source of supplies, ~,
be regarded az remarkable exhibition
Of energy and ability on the part Of tl,D :
agent.

Great Railroad Meeting ax
Remington.

Pursuant to call Of a committee APP
pointed for that purpose at a previous
meeting, 3 meeting to consider the griev-
ances OF the Bennington & Rutland
Railroad at the hands Of the Troy &
Boston Company, and to consider meas
ures for opening the resources of West
ern Vermont to Southern and Western
markets, was held at Free Library Hall,
Bennington, yesterday. An extra train
was run over the B. & r. Il. from this
place and intermediate stations TO Ben
ningtou, and at the appointed hour OF
the meeting III a. n.y., the Lall WAS
density packed, there being neither sit
ting or standing room therein, and many
interested parties were even unable TO
gain admittarce to the hall.
The officers Of the previous meeting,
OF the 9th inst, viz: Hoa. A. G. Clark
Of Manchester, President, and JoEn H.
Flsgg, Esq, Of Bennington, Secretary,
were chosen officers.
After the organization of the meeting
was effected, Hon. A. L. Miner Of Maa
chester called upon the committee APP
pointed at last meeting to inquire into
the difficulties between the B. & r. and
T. & B. companies, and Of the feasibility
of connecting the former with the Har-
lers Railroad Of Chatham Four Corners,
n. Y, to make report, which was sub
mitted as follows, through it's chairman,
Hon. Fl. G. Root:
RwoRT.
The committee appointed by the meet
Ing convened on the 9th inst, make the
following report: That they had several
meetings and deliberately considered the
subject referred to them, and are unani-
mously OF the opinion that the only way
in which the people of Western Vermont
can secure to themselves permanent rail-
road facilities, is to build g railroad
connecting the Bennington a. Rutland
Railroad with some other railroad lead
ing to New York and the West.
Your committee are Satisfied that the
best line of railroad TO New YORK ana
the West will be secured by the con-
strucsion of the Lebanon Springs Rail-
road, connecting the Bennington Il Rut-
land Railroad with the New York &
Harlem Railroad at Chatham Four Cor
ners. The road to be constructed is
about fifty-four miles In length, and will
cost, according to estimates your COM
mittee believe 80 be reliable, about four
teen hundred thousand dollars. Sub
scriptious have already been made In
the State OF New York to the amount OF
Ave hundred thousand dollars, aud we
have reason TO believe thss Still further
subscriptions will be made In that
State.
The Bennington g. Rutland Railroad
Compauy offer To mortgage their railroad
which is now free nom ircumbrance
Ito any amount necessary to secure the
completion of this work, ana your CON-
mittee have no doubt that the great ir-
teress the towns on she line OF the Ben
niogton 81 Rutland Railroad have 10
opentag this line. would isduce them to
lssd temporary AID 10 ths o"nstrsction

at their pleasure can break any new
ones; We want no more.
Mr.. Park then proceeded to show
how many advantages would result
from the establishment of the proposed
connection, and concluded with showing
his peeuniarily disinterestedness by
msgnanimously Offering to sell the B. g.
B. road to any company Of men who
would guarantee the contemplated over
throw of the foreign monopoly, by the
proposed or more feasible connection,
for SlO0, 900 less than he was offered for
it by the r. s. 8. Company, and thea
subscribe sloo, 900 more fer the purpose
of effycting such connection. His re-
marks were received with marked at
tention and be was frequently interrupt.
I'd ia their delivery by lsud and pro,
lonaed applause.
The gentleman was followed by Hor,
Harmon CAsaeid OF Arlington and Hon.
A. L. Miner of Manchester, who took
strong grounds 10 favor Of the position
taken by Mr.. Park aud gave tellisg
reasons Why the constructor of the new
road should he aided by towns on the
line Of the Bennington e. Rutland rs&A.
aad also advanced conclusive garments
70 show, az did Mr.. Park, that taey
could not be the losers thereby.

A FRUITFUL NINE.-There is a famous grape
vine at Santa Bar bara-famous because of its his
tory, its size and its yield. 1t is thirty
eight years since this vine planted, and its orr
gin was in this wise: An Indian woman rode a
horse from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara using
the cutting of a grapevine for switch. Arriving
at the latter place. she stuck her switch into the
ground. where it took root and grew into probably
the largest grapevine in the world. Sixty barrels
of wine was MADE frcm the grapes produced by
this vine last season.

MAIL MATTERS.-In correspondence to the
Chico Courant, dated Dyes Ranch, January 18th,

the indefatigabe proprietor of the stage line keeps
from eight to twelve horses, with sleds, (snow-
shoes j on the summit, TO keep the road open and
the mail and passengers not detained at ALL bnt
make their regular trips on time. Messrs. Horn
beck & Co. passed over the summit yesterday, with
three loads of freight for Susanvlle; also, Wm.
Gwinn passed with a large steam boiler, in-
tended for the Black Rock mines. [How long were
they snow-bound. Did they put their wagons on
runners y l learn from gentleman just from
Summit Lake. that the Idaho mail passes that place
as regular as clock-work and has not missed trip
this winter. D. CAMPBELL, Mail Carrier
The Owyhee Aralanchs in an article postal
irregularities and the blunders of postTasters in
sending Montana mail matter to Idaho instead Of
sending via Salt Lake, says: - We venture to say
that bushels of mail for Montana is now scattered
along the Chico route-as we see when that mall
reaches the Ruby Office it contains more or less
Montana matter: and and we know that much of
our past month California mail, except froU Sac
ramento, is in the same predcament. When the
order went into effect of putting up an Idaho mail
at Sacramento and tagged via Hunters Station,
we received the Daily Union of December 4th to
the sth before those from November 18th to Decem
Der lst and the very first instament included the
whole amount due, each in single and separate
wrappers Mail matters will be no better until the
Chico concern is abolished, improved. all Cali
foruja mails for Idaho ordered via Hunters.

ton and Pacheeo were present, it was decided to
build the second and third stories of the new State
Capitol with brick instead of granite 1t is all
wrong and we trust the matter will be recon>idered
The people of the State have been told all along
that the edice was lie of granite. elegant in de
sign and proportions. to be an enduring monument
to their liberality and taste, and an ornament to
the State, and they were taxed with that intent
The idea presented that the change in construction
has been induced 50 that the building will be ready
for the Legislature in three years, is preposterous
to say the least. The building used by the last
legislature can be used with the same degree of
convenience for the next six years. by those that
succeed it. The idea throughout was TO have a
grand edltice in every respect, and the idea ot
cheanneSs in connection with it after the work that
has been done aud the action of the last Legi>ia-
ture viii not hold water. The conclusion that viii
be arrived at in this matter is simply this; that the
reports of the insecurity of the building are true,
and il is fear that induces the Capitol Commission
ers 70 run up the balance Of the Capitol building
of the State of California, which 10 endure FOR
wears in brick instead Of granite. As humble
citizen of the State protest against the change
however little effect such protest may have, bat We
say it is under all the circumstances a gross iu-
suit TO the people of the State, TO talk even, much
less pat in practice, the finishing of the Capiio
building in brick, when luarres of the finest gran
( lite in the world, easy to he obtained, at cost
except Tor preparation, are at its doors-S. +.
