Assembly, and was again chosen speaker.

Congressional career has been severely erltl-

il was one actuated by purely patriotic
motives. and whose error was not Of being
vacillating. but Of being TOO logically consist

himself almost entirely to his paper. Some
months since be was elected chairman of one
of the opposing organizations Of the Republi-

The Uori7 and the Tribune are engaged in
the pious task Of settling whether the Demo
cratic or the Republic N party is to be credited
with the Oldest and most persistent hatred Of
Great Britain. The Uorld streuuously claims
the palm for It's own party; the Tribune mildly
insists that the history of politics affords
nothing lac the patriotic hostility Of the
Republicans Tor the name of England The
cath which Hannibal took against Rome
was not more sanguinary than the relant-
less alti-Britain sentiments which the
Tribune claims for its political friends The
Alabama treaty was rejected through the IL
faeuca Of Republican Senators and as party
measure and it allows to the Democrats no
share Of praise for that proceeding. But the
Word goes back Of Sumner and his tresty. Il
demonstrates triumphantiy that the war of 1872
was a democratic war, directed by democratic
Administration, and supported chiefly iy th.
democratic party. This appears 10 be elineher;
but the Tribune will, DO doubt, be found equal
TO the emergency. The controversy Is, at any
ra-e. curious one. aud offers a fertile study ID
human nature We hope for comforts sake that
It will be settled before the hot weather of sum
mer. Meantime England must watch the prog
ress Of the dispute with considerable anxiety.

LONG LITIGATION. The District Court " as
engaged three days this week in trial of the
suit Of the Table Mountain Tunnel Company
against George A. Darrow and others, it be-
ing the sixth time that it has been submitted
10 jury. The action commenced in
April, 1861 for the restitution of certain min
ing ground, and for seventy thousand dollars
damages. 1t came on for trial in that year
ut tho July term Of our District Court, the
jury failing to agree, it was tried again at
the next November term, and resulted in a
verdict for defendants. The plaintiff appeal
cd to the Supreme Court where the judgment
was reversed and the case was sent back for
n new trial. 1t was brought TO trial again at
the July term in 1862. when the plaintiff re-
covered Judgment for restitution of the min
ing ground and seven thousand five hundred
dollars damages against the defendants. The
case was now taken to the Supreme Court by
the defendants the Judgment was again re-
versed and sent back for new trial. In July,
1864, it was tried again, but the jury failed to
find n verdict it was taken up at the November
term 1864, when the defendants obtained
verdict. The plaintiff moved for a new trial
which was granted by the Court below, and it
travelled once more to tho Supreme Court
where the order grantinga new trial was affirm
ed. 1t has been tried again this week, and has
resulted in no verdict from another hung jury.
1t is claimed that the ground in dispute is
very rich, no work has been done in it for the
past eight years, except for short time un-
der receiver appointed by the Court. This
tedious litigation has exhausted the patience
and the means of all interested parties. The
costs incurred have been enormous, and prob
ably exceed the value Of the ground in dis
pute. In the meantime the tunnel belonging
TO defendants, which was some forty-ive hun
dred feet in length, in Table Mountain, has
gone to decay, the timbers having rotted
away, it has caved in many places, running
it for future use. This case has lasted longer
than any other mining suit ever instituted in
this County, and its final termination will be
hailed with satisfaction by court, counsel and
witnesses.

We were shown at the Sonora Foundry,
This week pattern or model invented oy Nf.
Jesse IIammill. of what he calls " Buck
1t is designed to save a large portion OF labor
necessarily required in sharpening drills. 1t
consists of an inclined, cast iron plane. at
tached to the anvil block filled with potches
in which one end of the drill rests, while the
other lays in a notch made in the anvil, thus
doing away with the necessity of holding drill
in the hand while sharpening it. We have
heard several blacksmiths speak of 1t as be
ing a means of saving large amount OF labor,
especially in sharpening long drills, it will
do away with one mans work entirely. Mr.
IIamill has taken the necessary measures to
procure a patent, which we hope he may OBJ
tain. and that his Buck will secure him a
handsome competency.

CuEArING AROUND THE BoARp.-A joint
resolution supplying omissions in the enroll
ments Of some of the general appropriation bill
oflast session came up in Congress last week.
Among the omissions, was one thar requires
bonded warehouses to reimburse the Govern
ment for salares Of storekecpcrs Butler said
this proposition was unanimoulv agreed up
on hy the Committee of Conference in the last
hours cf the late session hut ns it would take
o million and half Of dollars from the pock-
cts Of the whi>kev ring. Of course il dropped
out in the enrichment of the bill. SchencL.
Chairman of the ways and means Committee,
defended the Euroling Clerk from any impu-
tation on his integrity. This made Butler
foam, and he made raid ON Scaeuck and eve
nv other man who represented any district in
which there are diStilleries he did not want
the enrolling clerk by accident or design to
change the the law, taking millions from the
treasury and then when ii come back for cor
rection to the House the lobby to be brought
into requisition to prevent correction. 1t is
wonderful to see how Butler is watching out
for the treasury, he must have forGotten him
self or the whisky ring, or Seheuek. or the
Clerk. or somebody else, forgot to give him an
interest in that million aud half lie threat
ems TO give a biographical history of Schenck
during his connection with this omission; if
il ever comes to light we presume it will be
rich, but fear, that fer particular reasons it
will not liuger in Buffers mind as he may be
coarinced that he is wrong.

killed in the Burns mine, at First Garrote.
He had gone to work after dinner. and had
went down the main shaft to the I30 foot lev
ell be then called on the man above to send
down a bucket of tagging. The tagging was
sent down, and it is supposed that piece was
taken from the bucket in its descent, by a
splinter or knot catching on the side of the
shaft, and that the piece of tagging thus sus-
pended, fell and struck Mr.. Child on the
head, killing him almost instantly. The fore
man Of the mine was working little further
back from the shaft on the same level, and
hearing noise as if billet of wood was fall
ing. asked Child what it was, but received no
answer, he turned to look and saw Child "
ing few feet from him with a terrible wound
on the head.
Mr.. Child was n native of Massachusetts
and about IS years of age. He had lived at
Garrote since 1858 where he was universally
esteemed and respected.
