IMPORTANT GOLD DIsCoVERY.-We under
stand that gentleman of Frederick City,
who was prospecting in the spur of the
Blue Ridge mountain near and adjacent to
Frederick, has discovered fine quality Of
gold quartz, specimens Of which have been
examined and tested by experienced gen.
tlemen, some of whom are experts, having
had experience in California, who pronounce
it rich, and very similar to the gold quartz
of that Ell Dorado. 1t is genuine gold, and
found in bed of gold-bearing quartz some
four hundred feet in length, FIVE feet in
depth to surface of water, and sixty feet
width of vein. A gentleman of intelligence
and marked information, who has travelled
through large portion Of California, Mex
leo, and Oregon, who has seen many varie-
ties and specimens of gold quartz and sur.
face gold, pronounces it of first quality, and
says it resembles gold-bearing quartz OF
California. There is no doubt of its being
pure gold, but whether it is in sufficient
paying quantities is to be known By further
developments, which we learn will be made
in O few weeks. In the same locality indi'
cations of copper were seen by the came
gentleman, but no further researches were
made.-Ffederick (Md.) Union.

FEARFUL EXPLosIoN.-In Belgium, nitro
glycerine has recently caused a fearful &C
cident. An agent of q Dutch chemical
mandatory had persuaded two Belgian
quarrymasters that nitro-glycerine was q
much more efficient and much safer blast
ing agent than gunpowder. To demonstrate
the latter assertion for true, they undertook
to assume the responsibility of al accidents
which might occur by it. The quarrymas-
tiers, upon these terms, gave an order for
1000 pounds of nitro-glycerine. The Bel
gain Government requires it shall be trans
ported with the same precautions taken
when gunpowder is moved. A van contain
ing it, drawn by two horses and guarded by
four artillerymen, carried it to the quarry
Seven people stood around the van when it
was unladen near by, two wood-sawyers
were at work, and little further young
girl was busy picking up chips. About half
the load had been stored in the magazine,
when an explosion took place. The shock
was felt nine miles off. The immense maya
zine was entirely demolished; no trace was
left of it except few bricks. The windows
Of every house, all the trees and crops within
500 yards, were destroyed, and no trace of
the ten persons near the van was found ex-
cept portion Of one mans skull, the girls
foot, and one button of an artilleryman'f
uniform.

| the text Of the naturalization treaty re.
Gently concluded between Bavaria and the
| United States:
ARTICLE /. Subjects of the Kingdom Of
Bavaria who have become naturalized citi,
zens of the United States of North Anne
RIGA, and have uninterruptedly lived during
FIVE years in the United States, are to be
considered as American citizens, and &C.
cordingly treated by Bavaria. Likewise
shall the subjects of the United States OF
America who have become naturalized citi-
zens OF Bavaria, and have uninterruptedly
lived during FIVE years in Bavaria, be con-
sidered as subjects of Bavaria, and be
treated as such by the United States. The
mere declaration of intention to become q
citizen Of one or the other State shall have
no effect of naturalization with respect to
one or the other State.
ART. 2. Any naturalized citizen of one
State may be indicted and punished after
returning into the territory Of the other
State if he has committed any act threat
ened with punishment before his emigra-
ton, providing the crime has not become
obsolete according to the laws of his original
country.
ART. 8. The treaty between the Kingdom
of Bavaria as one part, and the United
States as the other part, concluded on the
18th of September, 1853, respecting the ex-

turalization in the United States. Likewise
an American naturalized in Bavaria is to
be considered as renouncing his naturaliza-
ton if he again settles in the United States

lives for more than two years in the terri
tory Of the other State.

tons, and will be valid for ten years. II

peal.

PARIS, July l6.-The Aonite,r says that
NJ. Thiers's recent speech in the Corps Le-
gislatif approves of a moderation of the
French policy. No step has been neglected
to quiet the public mind. France will alb
stain from Intervention in the German
questions, but will extend sympathy and
encouragement to internal reforms lately
inaugurated in Austria and Turkey.
The argument in the Amman case in Paris
has closed, and judgment will be rendered
in fortnight.
Ministerial changes have been made in
Portugal. Soule has been appointed Home
and Foreign Secretary.
Two men were arrested in Spain for en-
rolling recruits for rising.
1t is reported from Brazil that Humaita
in Paraguay, will soon fall, as Lopez has
only 5000 men.

How Mr.. EvARTs WAS TREATED .--Sena-
tor Trumbull succeeded in getting the Sc
nate into executive session Wednesday at 5
P. NJ, and after warm discussion, lasting
over two hours, the Senate confirmed Mr.
Evarts as AttorneyGeneral by q vote Of
twenty nine to five. When many of those
opposed to him found that his friends were
determined to sit it out and confirm him,
they abandoned the case and left the hall.
General Thayer, Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Chand-
Ter, and Mr.. Stewart made strong argu-
ments against him. Mr.. Henderson took
up Mr.. Buffers report upon impeachment,
assailed Mr.. Butler, calling him "scoun-
drel," and appealed to the Senate to take
cognizance OF the aspersions put upon him
by the Managers. He defended Mr.. Craig,
who, he said, was better man than Mr..
Butler. Mr.. Craig is the collector who as
sured Mr.. Cooper that Henderson is safe"
Mr.. Evarts was defended by Messrs. Conk-
| ling, Trumbull, and others. Mr.. Thayer
| stated that had he known that senators who
were opposed to Mr.. Stanbery would now
favor Mr.. Evarts he and others would have
secured the confirmation Of Mr.. Stanbery,
for there was no arguments made against
one not equally good against the other

ply to see whether the credentials presented

any law TO prevent electors all voting on one
side in an election of they desired to do so 2

tons in conformity with this law.

mittee on Elections.

est, to run forty years, was adopted. With
ont definite action the bill was then post
poned.

sentatives were referred to the Committee
on Elections.

Chief Justice Ch..e,s Platform.

From the Chicago Times (Dcmocra:ic).
WASHINGTON. July l3.-I have seen the
original draft, in the handwriting of the
| Chief Justice, Of the platform which had
been agreed upon by the Chief Justice and
some OF the most prominent Democrats in
the country and the leading spirits OF
the New York Convention. l have been
assured by friend of the Chief Justice,
who had in his possession the document
| referred to, that the platform was formally
adopted as the one, and the only one, on
which Mr.. Chase was willing to accept
the nomination of the New York Conven-
ton. The following are three of the reso-
lutions as copied from the Chief Justices
manuscript:
"The American Democracy, reposing
their trust, under God, IN the intelligence,
the patriotism, and the discriminating JUS
tice of the American people, declare their
fixed adhesion to- the great principles of
equal rights and exact justice for oil men
and all States, and their purpose to apply
them, within the constitutional limit, to all
questions which, in the stirring exigencies
of public affairs, may demand considera-
ton and solution.
ReSolued, That in land of democratic
institutions all public or private interests
repose most securely on the broad basis of
suffrage but under the system of distinct
though united States which distinguishes
our American Government from the con-
solidated governments of the Old World,
both wisdom and duty require that the ap-
plication of this principle be left in the
several States, under the Constitution Of the
United States, to the people of each State,
without interference of the National Co.
vernment.
"ReSolued, That honor and duty alike
require the honest payment Of the public
debt and the faithful performance of all
public obligations; but we do not admit
that our creditors, more than other men,
are entitled to special favor in the inter
probation of the laws, by which their rights
and public duties are determined and the
Interpretation Of the laws, in cases of con-
flicting interests, belongs to the courts"
The Chief Justice, it is said, was impor-
tuned after the meeting of the Convention
to modify his views, but refused to ac
cept the nomination on any platform save
the one of his own making. He is also OPP
posed to the third-party movement, and if
he votes at ali, will vote for Grant and
Colfax.

THE MARYLAND HARvEsT.-Th Carroll
county Sentinel says: "Our farmers have
nearly all harvested their grain, end gene
raj reports say that it is one of the best crops
ever produced. With prosperity to the
farmer generally comes prosperity to the
country in other branches Of business; con-
sequently we are particularly pleased tc
note so good sign"
The HagerstoWn Herald remarks: The
grain has all been cut in Washington
county, and we may safely say that, not
withstanding o portion of it has been in
jured by the weevil, the crop will turn out
to be fair average one in quantity and
superior one in quality, The harvest has
been long and laborious one, the heat be-
ing greater than at any former harvest for
many years, but the reward was in proper
ton to the farmer and his laborers."
The Somerset Herald says; :" Some OF
our farmers in the lower part Of Somerset
county are complaining Of great drought,
but in our vicinity it has been quite season
able"

House of Commons

statement last night in the House. In an
swer TO a question for information, ne said
ne had already sent communication to the
United States on the subject of naturaliza-
ton, the substance Of which was that the
British Ministry was ready TO accept the
American view of the question. He there
fore thought any misunderstanding between
the two nations on this subject was impossl-
bic. Lord Stanley also stated that he had
declined to make a treaty at present, as the
ROYAL Cornui ssion are still considering the
general subject, and for the additional rea.
SON that time will not permit the passage o.
