THE DTsTn.LERs In some Of the whisky
districts have made ovortures to the revenue
officers to assist them in discovering Illicit
distlleries as well Us In fcrreting out frauds.
They allege that they can make more money
by having only honest competitors than can
be made BY Illicit dlstlllatlon, taking the
chances Of detection, &c They propose to
form an association for the purpose Of aiding
the revenue officers In detecting dishonest
distillers.
The proposition meets with the most
favorable recognition at the Revenue Bureau.
In 1866 the tobacco manufacturers OF Gin
cinnatl organized an association for the sup
preston of frauds In their business in that
section OF the country, and employed their
own detectives. In several insta noes the
enterprise Of the business men, who were
suffering from the unequal competition with
fraudulent manufacturers, resulted in the
detection Of frauds and conviction OF parties
that had before dcaed the Government de.
tectiyes.

The REPUBLICAN RECoRD.-In recent
" Occasional letter, Colonel Forney, dis.
cussing the political situation, says:
What, indeed, have the Democracy to
rely on? Is there anything but their old
rebel record?
They will start with their guns turned
upon them.
There has been no war of races as a
consequence of negro suffrage in the
South.
No military dictatorship set up by Gen.
eral Grant.
No extravagant expenditures of the pub
lie money.
These were their chief prophecies in
1868.
How were they met?
By such industry among the colored
people of the South that their former own
ers are getting richer than ever.
By steady stream of emigration and
capital into the South.
By careful, frugal, and Republican ad
ministration Of the government.
Horatio Seymour said last fall that we
were then paying at the rate of $3o0,000,-
900 a year to keep the South in subsection,
and now we are administering the whole
Government of the United States at the
rate of 1920. 000, 600 year.
This is our answer, Republicans, to the
Democratic prophets.

From the Mountains.

CENTRAL CRY, Col, July 10, 1869.
EDS. CHRONICLE: We have been having
some unusually warm weather for the
mountains. Our summer months are usu-
ally cool and pleasant, but We have had a
few days exceptions to the general rule.
Our Independence Day was warmer than
common; but this did not prevent the
eager crowds frcm climbing the steep
mountain side to The Lake." the princi-
pal resort, or from visiting the soda baths
nc Idaho, six miles distant.
THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY
Is decidedly encouraging, so say those
who pretend to know about such matters,
and the reported shipments of gold seems
to corroborate this statement. More bull
lion has been shipped in the same length
If time than for years past; still we must
admit that large proportion comes from
shallow diggings, pillars, gulches, &C., the
deep mines yielding comparatively small
percentage. Our business men seem to
have great faith in the immediate future,
Judging by the amount Of freight coming
in every day; the stores and warehouses
are being filled to repletion. A heavy Fall
and Winter trade seems to be anticipated,
but the summer months are by far the
best in the year. not only for mining but
for business of all kinds.
JOHN CHINAMAN
Made his appearance here few days ago,
and found immediate employment. A
single specimen only-the advanced scout
of the great army of Johns" who will
probably overrun all parts of this CONT
nent. Their tide of empire seems to be
flowing eastward. China. with popula-
lion of three hundred millions, can well
spare few millions. If our government
encourages the emigration there will be
such rush of cheap labor into this coun-
trv as America has never seen before.

Base Ball.

On Saturday of last week, we, in COM
pany with Jas. and Benz. Hoskins of the
Hickory base ball club of this place, and
j. R. Bergman and Mic. Cornish, took a
trip to the village Of Highland for the
purpose of witnessing the trial match be-
tween tie " Seneca" club of Wingville and
the " Hickory" of Avoca. The game was
started by the Wingville boys going to the
bat, scoring several runs. We are unable
to give detailed account of the game, or
even the full score. The "Senecas" ran
ahead of their opponents from the start
and it was evident the result would be IN
their favor. Both clubs play very good
game, though the ground was new to both.
which probably accounts for the wild
throws. &C., that were made. The play
ing was lively all through, the score at the
end of the 9Th inning being % for the
"Senecas' to IA for the "Ifickories." The
Avoca boys played under some disadvan-
tages, as three of their best players were
unable to attend. which would probably
have made some difference in the result.
On the whole, we think we never saw
game pass off more quietly, or with less
i'll. feeling towards each other. Both clubs
are composed of real gentlemen. and a
match with such is productive of much
enjoyment.
AT the close of the game, five of the
Dodgeville boys, assisted by four of the
"Senecas" played game of four innings
with the Highland boys, the score standing
20 for Dodgeville to Q for Highland. C.
