indication of coming from below water level.
We learn from Mr.. Quick that they have another
specimen almost as rich, at the mouth o. the
shaft, that it takes a good man to lit. This
claim has paid from the top down, ranging, on
the mill rock, from $50 to 250 to The ton. We
were little doubtful when this mine opened so
rich at the top that it was only specimen ledge,
but now, since it has held good down below The
water level we must conclude that it is q rich
and regular paying ledge. We learn that the
refuse rock mills fully $50 to the ton. The

quite a large number of cases has shown that
even confession is not to be relied upon as
conclusive evidence of guilt and that without
such evidence the law is continually IaiSiiyins
its own dictum that it is better that ten guli'y
men should escape than that one innocent man
should suffer- Yet we begin in doubt go on
in doubt, and end in doubt, the only certain
thing being the death of our victim :,
We have but little patience with that legai
arrogance which assumes that in judicial pro-
ceedings there can be no mistake. rms is ah
assumption, indeed, which the law itself does
not countenance. 1t virtually admits Its faiii-

And even these Solons will have successors
who will overrule their decisions. For all kihus
of contracts, for every question when aneces

titles of estates, the construction OF agreements
or the Interpretation of devises, there Is con-
siderate patience and delay long drawn out;

New-York tribune., 1869-04-08

The President evidently means to treat the
recently enfranchised classes with perfect fair
ness in the distribution of the Offices and to
select from the cOlored race as readily as from
any other, when he finds men believed to be
honest, capable, and loyal. He has now nomina-
ted negro Postmaster at the Capital
of South Carolina, and negro Assessor of In
ternal Revenue in the commercial metropolis
of the South, besides having filed a number of
minor offices with negro appointments. The
disposition thus evinced will command cor
dial approval from the great mass
of the Presidents supporters But in
no part of his perplexing task
of distributing patronage will he find more diff
fculty than in selecting fit cOlored men, and
nowhere will mistakes prove more Injurious
The appointment yesterday of Dir. Pinchbaek
of New Orleans as Register of the Land Office
may be safe one, but the anteccdents of the
proposed Register are not wholly encouraging

New-York tribune., 1869-04-08
THE TAX IEVJES.


For the first time in many years, the City
and County Tax Levies have been reported to
the Legislature in season for that body to
make careful scrutiny of the items before
passing them. We must again remind mem
bers that their constituents will, therefore, hold
them to a stricter accountability than ever
before for the character and amounts of the
appropriations that may be voted for the gov
ernment of this city. The Tax Levies are the
great Tammany Corruption Fund, with which
votes are purchased, courts subsidized, natu-
ralzation forgers paid, felons released from
Jail, and crimes against the purity of the
ballot rewarded. 1t is this fund which
secured the electoral vote of New ork
for Seymour and Blair. If we are ever to
check the rascalities of the Ring, we must do
| it by disarming them. They fight with
money; are we to go on, year after
| year. voting them the funds to carry on
their Infamous OperationsR The Republican
members of the Legislature now have 1t in
their power to do something for the redemp-
ton of the State. Let them study the Con-
troller's budgets, and cut them down fearlessiy.
They will bear q reduction of at least S2oOo,ooo
| without the least difficulty AT the last moment
many new appropriations will be asked 1or Dy
way of amendments. The worst of the NUM-
| cipal jobs will probably be put IN TINS guise; ];
SUCH for example, as the items for the new
| Court House, and for fitting up armorles ana
drill-rooms. We hope some honest Republican
will see that whatever may be absolutely ne
cessary is inserted in the leves at once, so that
there may be time to examine it; and then let
all subsequent amendments calling for appro-
| priations be remorselessly voted down. 1t will
need some courage to be honest about this
measure Almost every Republican member
has some small bill affecting his own locality
which he wants passed, and the Democrats will
make his vote for their measure the price OF
their support of his. But we cannot afford to
have legislators who lack courage.

that more than 175 100-pounder guns were OBJ
tanned. The number of the Dahlgren she'll
guns which have been cracked or fissured in
side previous to proof, or during experiments
or service, could not be learned The chief of
the Bureau evaded the questions relating to
the bad qualities of his own invention, while
he was elaborate in his answers as to the bad
qualities of the guns of other inventors.
These facts indicate that others are still
behind, in which the public have a deep inter
est. We trust, therefore, that Congress VIII
direct that the investigation be resumed and
prosecuted until the art and mystery OF gun
making, with that of making money out OF
the Treasury by means of gun contracts, shall
have been fully elucidated. 4I s|
