GENERALITIES.
PcnnsyIvanIn Democrats QuarrcIlIna.

There is an exciting race between the various
aspirants for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Pennsylvania. The leading candi-
dates are George w. Cass, Asa Packer and
General Hancock. The friends of the first two
are anxious to keep Hancock out of the field,
because il is believed he will be the most popu-
lar man before the nominating convention. They
have asked the friends of General Hancock to
have him write letter in advance declining the
nomination on the ground that he wishes to re-
tain his place in the regular army. Hancocks
friends refuse TO do this, believing as they do
that he stands good chance not only of being
nominated, but elected. The leading Republi-
can politicians admit that Hancock would be the
most formidable antagonist that could be
brought into the field against Geary, and they
are alarmed lest he may be brought forward.
Hancock's friends, seeing the opportunity, are
determined to push the claims of their candi-
date before the Democratic Convention Wash.

RepuIsIve Spectacle.
Meat Inspector Willis S. Oviatt, of the Board
of Health, this morning paid visit to the stock
trains at the Morris and Essex depot, and dis
covering very offensive smell about a box car,
ordered 1t to be opened, when a sight of the
most sickening description was revealed. Lying
dead in heaps upon the floor of the ar-tght car
were twenty-one sheep twenty lambs, and thir
teen calves-ffty-four animals in all; and in
deed, every one the car contained. Alderman
Westervelt, President of the Board of Health,
was notified by the inspector, and soon after
that gentleman and Health Inspector Albert
attached and after viewing the sckening scene,
ordered the immediate removal of the dead ami
mails, as the stencil arising from their carcasses
was already impregnating the atmosphere in the
vicinity of the depot.
On enquiring of the employees of the COM
pany at the freight depot we ascertained that
the 200 sheep and calves in last nights stock
train were "chucked in" at Port Murray and
Hackettstown, and that the fifty-four confined
in the air-tight morgue were consigned to j.
Anthony and w. Kissinger of this city. The
man or men who would thrust into car six feet
high, eight wide, and twenty-five long, ffty-four
live animals, then close and fasten the doors
upon them, is either wofully ignorant or crimi-
nally reckless, and in either case should be held
to a strict ccountability.-Netodrk (N. J) Ad-

Yield ef the White Pine Mines.
statement of the business of White Pine for
three months, says the Denver Ne,oS, makes
some astonishing revelations. Just twenty
mines were worked. The Eberhardt gave $50
tons of ore, which yielded $1S7, 200, or $500 to
the ton. The Keystone gave 100 tons, $34 1868.
or s19S per ton The Aurora South turned out
153 tons, $14, 114'25, or $311'65 per ton. The
next largest quantity of ore produced was 81
tons; the next, ID tons, and from that it
dwindled down to 548 pounds, which came from
the Baker Metallurgical, and yielded at the rate
of $6847'19 per ton. 1t is plain that the owners
don't want to strain that mine. The next best
yield is from the Eberhardt-$390 per ton-and
| from that it diminishes to $57.50 per ton from
ore Altogether, about 900 tons of ore was re-
duced, from which the total yield was $262 998'44
or an average of a little less than 1874 per ton.
And this while we are told that White Pine was
turning out millions Gilpin county alone is
doing better Colorado has millions of tons of
richer ores. The only advantage that White
Pine has, is In the ease and simplicity of work.
ing its simple chloride ores. Then it is big
thing to talk about; a long way off; in the midst
of desert; hard to reach, and 'the fools are
not all dead yet"
Summers Speech In England.
In the Tribtenes London correspondence we
find the following
| The London papers are considerably obliged
| to Mr.. Goldwin Smith for supplying them with
| some sort of answer to the just accusation that
no one of them has printed the speech of Mr..
| Sumner, which all of them joined in misrepre-
| senting. Mr.. Smiths answer was better than
| none. Still 1t was felt to be very weak, SO one
| of them has now produced q second. The
| speech, it says, was printed here in pamphlet
| form, and ''widely circulated" 1t is true a
! pamphlet edition was printed in London, but it
! was issued by an American not by an English,
| 'widely circulated" had the curiosity to ask
| Mr.. Stevens how many copies he had disposed
| of. 1t was published at shilling-about 35
cents currency. Mr.. Stevens writes me that it
certainly was 'widely" circulated in one sense,
inasmuch as he sent a copy to nearly every town
! in Great Britain and Ireland where q paper is
| published. The country press had 165 copies,
| the London press 90 and 80 were sold. In all,
there have been circulated just five less than 500
| copies. OF leading articles which put into Mr..
| Summers mouth what he never dreamed of say
| ing, there have been who knows how many mil
| lions of copies distributed?
