The Appeal this morning suggests that
q meeting should be held, and expression
given to the voice Of our citizens, who
are opposed to violence Of all sorts, and
to suggest measures which may be most
efficient for It's prevention. MA'e resolu-
tons may go for nothing With those who
prefer the rule Of the sword, tyranny and
its results. It may nevertheless be well TO
hold a meeting and express what We
know to be the wishes Of all good and
orderly people. Let the meeting bsheld
without regard to party affiliations, that
we may see who are really for good order,
fraternity aud the promotion Of n com
mon interest

to our immense possessions in the West,
with its marvellous mineral wealth, you
will thereby obtain gold to do both, and
eventually pay off the national debt
s. The events of the late war have thrown
upon the country large population,
whose only escape from starvation, now
that the Freenman's Bureau is to be with
drawn. will be found in employment. In
rebuilding these levees, in the cultivation
of the soil thus reclaimed, this class will
find profitable employment in climate
suited to their constitutions, and upon
a soil where they can find homes And
that independence which is sure 70 fol-

6. By making this Endorsement you
give new life and prosperity to section
of country unable to assist themselves,
and Ly so doing you risk nothing what
ever: for it is but the loan of your credit
For instance: Ten million of dollars
indorsed for Mississippi will reclaim the
oyerAowed lands on the east bank from
Memphis to Vicksburg. This belt OF
country, although not tenth part set.
Ned. in 1860 produced 100000 bales of
cotton (40e pounds each). A tax of one
cent per pound on this would yield $780,
600 annually. This sum would pay the
interest on the ten millions of bonds is
sued S6OO,OOO) and leave $3.50, 600 as an
annual sinking fund to pay the princi-
nal at maturity. Take another instance:
In 1860, in the belt of country within the
State of Louisiana, they produced $50 900
bales of cotton, saying nothing OF the
production OF sugar and molasses. One
half n cent pound on the cotton would
pay not only the interest on the ten mil
lions Endorsed for Louisiana, but'leave
sinking fund which would take up the
bonds before maturity.
With permanent levees six feet above
all overflow, with the fruits of labor
secured, with the tide of immigration
which profitable labor will draw, can
there be any doubt that this inviting
country of unsurpassed fertility will be
more densely peopled more extensively
cultivated, and more prosperous than
ever2 With this prosperity, can the
States issuing the bonds, or the Govern
ment indorsing them, risk anything Z

Brown, indicted for killing Upton Muir
ray, her negro paramour, was arraigned
in the Court of Common Sessions yes
terday. She plead guilty to manslaugh-
ter in the third degree, and was sentenced
by Judge Bedford to imprisonment for
three years and six months in the State
prison. The Judge, in passing sentence,
commented severely on the degradation
of white woman living with a black
man.
A Washington dispatch states that
although the treaties communicated to
the Senate on Friday last had not been
committed to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, there will be no opposition to the
one relating to the naturalization ques-
ton, nor to the one relating to the settle
ment of boundary and to the San Juan
matter. The Alabama treaty, however,
meets with strong opposition in the Com
mittee. 1t stands no chance of being
ratified in its present form. The Com
mittee do not favor the mode of Gettle-
ment of the claims, nor do they approve
of that feature allowing the English to
present claims that have occurred
during the past fifteen years as set
off against those of our people.
The iguoring OF the belligerent
rights question by our Governmer.,s ia
strongly censured, When the subject
comes up for consider. ttion. in executive
session, the co,aduct of persons making
THIS trsaty will be thoroughly examined.
A long statement appears in the Times
this morning about the early campaigns
of Grant, which it is stated did
not give dissatisfaction at headquar-
tiers at Washington-that he was seve-
raj times to be superseded, but
was not by the occurrence of cir
cumstances. When he began the in
vestment of Vicksburg the move
ment was condemned at headquarters
and finally, after the unsuccessful assault
on Vicksburg, in May, an order was sent
to General Banks, then investing Port
Hudson, directing him to go and
take the command of the army from
General Grant and assume it himself.
The order was imperative; nevertheless
Genera! Ranks did not obey it. He re-
piled, expostulating; and the considera-
tions on which be based his expostulatiou
appear when this remarkable corre-
spondence sees the light This much,
however, may be said: He pointed out
for him to abandon his position at
Port Hudson would be to give the key of
Mississippi, imperiling, not only the
tenure of New Orleans, but jeopardizing
our possession of any post of vantage on
that vital water line. This rejoinder
CALLED from Washington second com
mand to supercede Grant, when the i'm
propriety of the step was again pointed
out by Banks. he was severely cen
sured for disobedience of orders.
The correspondence between General
Banks and the authorities at Washington
continued until the fall of Vieksburg,
when every scrap of paper bearing on
the subject was spirited away from the
archives in the Department while
Banks, putting the writings safely by,
kept his own counsel This critical pas
sage 10 his life was until q month ago
unknown to General Grant himself.

1ur. EBrady's Last Writing.

The following remarkable and beau
tiful passage is the last ever written by
the eminent James T. Brady, whose loss
is so universally lamented. The pass
sage is a remarkable one, not only from
it's impressive sentiment, and the ex-
quisite beauty of its construction, but
from the suddenness of the taking
away" of it's author.
"Our brothers in the pilgrimage will
fall at our side, but. however thickly
the arrows of death may shower, we
can. while our powers continue, do
naught but move on until we reach the
awful instant. when we are to exchange
the feeble pulses of transitory exists
ence for the ceaseless throbbings of
eternal life. There, even there, at that
mysterious frontier, If we have been
faithful and fearless on the march, we
may lie down obedient to destiny, with
the exalted hope that, after all the OBJ
iects of this world shall have become
lost forever 10 our mortal sight, there
may be unfolded to our new and spirit
ual vision another realm of unimagina-
BILE glory, where we, and all whom we
loved on earth, may realize the promise
which the Great Ruler of the universe
has made unto the just"

4 COMPACT QUARTZ MILL.

EDITOR PosT Having seen very
compact, economical and effective quartz
mill in operation ut the Miners Foundry,
in San Francisco. and believing IL to
comprise special advantages for Mons
tanians i sent for drawings and de-
scripIiOn of the same, which are TO hand.
/ invite parties interested to call and
will give them all the information can
in regard to il. 1t is called Howland's
Rotary Quartz Mill. Among the prOmS
inent advantages claimed for it are, the
lessened cost, decreased weight To num-
Der of stamps, dispensing with all wood
Trainings, requiring less power to pro-
pei, and the quickness with which it can
be set up.
The mill is IN three sections, bolted
together, can be set up and pat IN ope-
ration in two days, and taken apart and
shipped in one day. An S-stamp mill
weighs 10 900 pounds a 12-stamp mill
$4,000 pounds. Two mills can be at
tached to same power The working
statistics, as compared with straight
battery mills, on same ore, wear and
tear, etc, over signatures of well known
mining companies in California, are
also in my possession. They show
it TO be superior mill. They
are built at the Miners Foundry,
San Francisco, where they are building
u great number for White Pine and
other localities 1t is Mr. Howland's in
tention TO proceed to Chicago and build
them for the Montana trade, yet the ad-
vantages are so important that even if
more are built in Chicago the decreased
weight would compensate for their ship
ment over the Central road. With an
stamp mill, leads can be Erospected
with comparatively small capital, and
if prospects justify another added. II
the lead fails they are easily removed.

thought the section on removal and Teinstate-

Of the President from what he had under the

Banks understood the effect of the substi-
tutr reported by the committee was, that If
the President removed AN officer, calling it
removal, tue Senate's refusal TO confirm re-
iustated the removed officer, but If be called
nc Suspension the Senate's refusal 10 confirm
did not restore the officer, and the President
could make another nomination.
