SubGerxanean Discoveries at
Observation-Disclosures
Country under Till
nois.

In opening the coal shaft in this city,
the following facts were developed; For
the depth of 11S feet the shaft was sunk
through variable drift, such as is common
on the prairies AT that depth the buried
surface of the country which had been
covered by the drift was discovered 1t
was rich, black soil, some two feet in
thickness, in which were imbedded many
roots and stulnps of trees, and all the in
dications Of soil accumulated by many
years Of vegetation. The trees belonged
to the cone bearing family and the up
per portions OF them which were best
preserved, were surrounded with clean
white sand. Below this old surface, came
some eighty feet more of drift then a
second dirt bed or ancient surface soil,
with roots and trees as before This lower
dirt-bed rested on the mud of an old bog
filed with innumerable small, fresh wa
ter shells. Specimens of these were sent
to the Chicago Academy of Science, where
they have been pronounced all of recent
species, such as still inhabit similar Doggy
waters. And below the SHIELDED came
drift again-some fifty feet or more

MEXICo.-The Mexican correspondent
of the New York Times thus sums up
matters in that delectable country:
Mexico has not made one step forward
since the Republic was relnstated In
the ninteenth century nation that does
not progress recedes, and recedes the more
from the fact that other nations are con-
stantly advancing at an eYer-inereasing
pace. Ia -.
The real condition of affairs in Mexico
can thus be summed up: r. q
The Executive sleeps and grows fat. r
Congress works itself into a, passion
and accomplishes nothing. ~
Rebellion is ubiquitus and often triunl
plant -.'-
Commerce is at as low an ebb as pos
sible.
Industry is dead. co
The roads and towns TEEN with bandit
thieves and assassins. a 49, ms
Impotence is apparent everywhere
And the pople are dying of hunger"

The Court of Appeals at Naples, Italy,
has decided that the marriage ofprlests of
the Catholic Church is legal. This deci-
sion establishes the perfect independence
of the State in its relations with the
Church, and determines the position of a
priest in presence of the law. It is hoped
by many that the Ecumenical Council,
which is to meet in Rome in December
next, will confirm and endorse the deci-
sion.

GOV. FAIRCHILD OF WISCONSIN.
From the Washington Express, March %.
We announced day or two since the
arrival in this city Of this gentleman,
amongst other strangers of distinction.
We were at the time impelled by many
kind recollections, as well as by a sense
of justice to brave and honest man, to
speak more at length of his eminent pr
vate worth and public services. &.
Few men of his age have had more
eyentful experience, and none more per
fectlY illustrate the virtues of energy and
perseverance as exhibited in the better
phases Of American life and character. A
simple and brief reference to some of the
leading events Of his career affords ample
proof of the truth of this suggestion. 4

services of Gen. and Gov. Fairchild, as
published recently in the Republican, is

He is here, we understand, in obedience
to q resolution of the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture, to promote the meritorious project
of uniting the great Northern lakes with
the Mississippi river, by the way of the
| Fox and Wisconsin rivers
In the very prime of life, possessed of q
quick intelligence and vigorous intellect
joined to the most undoubted. integrity
and marked executive ability, it seems q
pity that his services should not be made
available to the country in some adequate
position Of trust, instead of such profes
Fsional ofice-beggars as we see croNwdins

The Duke of Montpensier, who, the ca
bic says, is to be King of Spain, is the
fifth son of Louis Philippe, formerly
King Of the French. He was born at
Neuilly, near Paris, in 1924. His cunning
father married him in 1916 to the Span
ism Princess Louisa, the sister of Queen
Isabella IL, and at the same time brought
about the Queens marriage to her imbe-
cile cousin, Francis Of Assist Louis Phil
'lippe supposed that this would be a child
less marriage, and that the children Of the
Duke Of Montpensier would accordingly
inherit the Spanish throne. His calcula-

than twenty years none of his family have
seen their native country. Isabella II.

showing how far Minister Hale has abused
his official position have been at Wash

with introducing articles contraband of

to at least grave indiscretion, and his

Tenure-of-O Office Bill.

In the last TELEGRAPH it was stated
that the House had refused to agree to the
amendment of the Senate, and the Senate
had refused to recede, and asked a confer
ence. ,.
The House agreed to the conference
and the joint committee agreed upon a
modified Tenure-of office BILL Both Hous-
es passed the bill of the conference com
mittee. and the President, after consider
able delay, signed it, and it is now law,
BY the law the President removes, as well
as appoints by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate; but the powers OF
the President are not so curtailed and re-
strained as they were by the late Tenure
of-ofice law. And under it he viii, I'M.
doubtedly, exercise sufficient powers to
see that the laws are faithfully executed
--Ss.~mg~4e+-
As we go to press we have but few re-
turns Of the election outside OF the city.
It Is uncertain at this time, who Is elected
County Judge-James j., Petit or Isaac
w Webster. Judge Petit is advanced
In years and in feeble health, and was
nominated by the Republicans as well
from sympathy as from his possessing the
necessary qualifications. He paid no at
tention to the canvass, neither before nor
after his nomination, and from his appar-
ent indifference, some Republicans
thought ne did not care about being elect
ed, and others felt hurt because he did
not manifest more sollcitude to obtain
their active support.
On the other hand, Judge Webster has
been active in canvassing the County,
both before and after his nomination.
And no political friend, or political oppo-
nent either, had reason to feel himself
sighted by not being noticed and his
support solicited And, if by any chance
the Judge did not find opportunity to do
SO, his friends were sure to find an oppor-
tunity and avail themselves Of it. Besides
his Republican friends say of him =
Webster is a clever fellow, and viii
make good judge, aside from his copper
headism"
Since writing the first of this article,
sufficient returns have been received to
leave no doubt of the election of Judge
Webster by a handsome majority.
