given to mining and trade in any other way

Reconstruction is prolonged, the

not to return to their allegiance, and
these valient Conservatives will
see them through another rebellion,

way of Progress, while Radicalism
has always taken the lead in every
good work, and is still leading and
will lead the Country on to peace,
that peace that will result in com
plete restoration Of every man to his

Union as it was, with Slavery and
the seeds OF rebellion again planted

D1eGiNe gold in snow shoes, and dressed
in furs, won't that be jollyl We reckon
then hol for Alaska, with snow shovels and
ice picks. The schooner Ann Eliza has ar
rived at San Francisco with news Of immense
placers of gold in Alaska, and the Ann Eliza
brought with her some gold dust, quartz, and
gold nuggets to prove the truth of the state
ment. The principle discoveries are in the
neighborhood of lat. 81 deg. N, and long.
$50 deg. W., on the Kayak river, which de-
bouches into Cook Inlet. Other discoveries
have been made about sixty miles above
Sitka, between Mount Fairweather and the
Chilcut river, and a third placer has been
found upon one of the small islands on the
coast. 1t is said the existence of gold on
the Alaska continent was well known to
some of the members of the telegraph ex-
ploring expedition, and whenever the country
is opened up for scientific exploration, we
have no doubt large quantities of it will be
found The gold bearing mountains of Cali
fornia and Nevada push far up in Alaska, so
the geologists say, and the evidences are
strong that they carry the precious metals
throughout their entire length. We hope
it is so, and that we may be enabled in time
to get back that seven and half millions
the country cost us.

who Dares Sell HIMSELF

The Republican Senators, says the FRI
BUNE, are making a good fight on the tax
levies. Beaten by the recreant Mattoon in
an endeavor to haye the right, which all
usage gives them, ofselecting their own Con-
ference Committee, they have thrown the re-
spopsibility on the Democrats by refusing to
serve on the Conference Committee. The
Democrats tried till long into Sunday to pass
the Assembly bills, but the quiet points OF
order raised by Senator Crowley, backed by
all the other Republican Senators, defeated
ment was obtaitz9 till to-day.
To pass these levies the Democrats must
get one more Republican voice, as the Lieu
tenant G overnor has no vote on the hnal
passage They are hard at work to get this,
and rumor says are Offering what is literally
fortune for one vote. The range of selec-
tion is small. No one supposes that they
will dare to approach such men as Folger,
ODonnell, Crowley, Palmer, Morgan,
Hogan, Thayer, Hale, Chapman, Nicks, OF
Others whose names do not now occur to US.
In fact, in common belief, there are but two
or three that they can even hope to corrupt.
We do not yet mean to believe that they can
get any of them, because we KNOW that nc
man who seeks for any political future, who
wants to be admitted to decent company,
who does not want to go through life with
the brand of corruption and the mark oI
Cain upon him, can afford or will dare to
vote with the Democrats on this subject,
No quibbles, no excuses, no arithmetica
calculations as to items, can apologize fol
such vote. The Republican who gives. II
should, before the Senate adjours, be for
mally denounced by caucus of the Other
Republican Senators, and to be compelled
hereaftepto find his political home with the
party that has bought his services for 9
price. We shall do our best to see that his
constituents know his course. A Thousand
times better that the levies should fail thar
that the Assembly bills or any resembling
them should pass

AID TO CUBA.-The New York papers
chronicle the secret sailing of the fast-sail-
ing schooner Grapeshot, nearly two weeks
ago. She sailed from Hunters Point, where
for week previous she had undergone ex-
tensive repairs on the marine railway, foot
of Seventh street, under the superintendence
of Messrs. Boggs & Davis. AS her object
and destination were kept perfectly secret,
she excited little or no curiosity among the
few frequenters of the neighborhood. The
schooner was heavily loaded with boxes con-
tanning arms and munitions of war, consist
ing Of muskets, rifles, fixed ammunition Of all
kinds, howitzers, harness. &C., beside num-
Der of barrels containing about 1000, 900
rounds of cartridges These were placed in
the hold, taxing it to its utmost capacity,
while the deck was loaded with boxes con-
tanning harness and other light articles with
the necessary water-casks for the voyage
On the night of her sailing, 80 men were
taken on board, together with the necessary
provisions, and the vessel quietly sailed on
her hazardous undertaking under the CON-
mand of Capt. Kempton, formerly of the
United States Navy. The Grapeshot has
probably reached her destination ere this
The vessel it is understood, was fitted out
under the auspices of The Cuban Junta Of
New York City.

SILENT MEN. Washington never made a
speech. In the zenith Of his fame he once
attempted it, failed, and gave it up, confused
and abashed. In framing the Constitution
of the United States, the labor was almost
wholly performed in committee Of the whole,
George Washington was, day after day,
the chairman, but he made but two speeches
during the convention, of very few words
each, something like one of Grants speeches.
The convention, however, acknowledged the
master spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity, and
the thirty words OF his first speech, pronounc-
ing it the best that could be united upon,
the Constitution would have been rejected
by the people. Thomas Jefferson never
made speech. He couldn't do it. Napo-
leon, whose executive ability is almost with
out parallel said his greatest difficulty was
in finding men of deeds, rather than words.
When asked how he maintained his influence
over his superiors in age and experience,
when Commander-in-Chief of the army of
italy, he said, by reserve. The greatness
OF a man is not measured by the length of
his speeches, or their number.

To the many questions already disturbing
the peace of Europe, there is now to be
added the Gibraltar question. From the
proceedings in the Spanish Cortes it appears
that Senor Orense asked the Government
whether it had entered into negotiations with
England for the recovery of Gibraltar and
that the Minister of Finance, fully sharing
the idea that such negotiations should be
opened, only desired them to be put off until
Spain shall be fully reorganized. The SYM
pathes of the world in this question will be
with Spain. Gibraltar, though it has been
long under the rule of England, is part of
the Spanish nation, and sooner or later Eng
land will have to consent to its incorporation
with the Spanish monarchy, as, some years
ago, it had to give up the Ionian Islands to

Death On the Rail.

One of the passengers on the Long Island
Railroad in the awful disaster of last week,
who was in the car where so many were torn
to pieces, describes the death of Mr.. Rush
more, the Bank President, and a lady who
was with him, in these words:
81 guess. it must have been about three
minutes after we started, when all at once
there was bang! bang! kind of noise up at
the front end of the car which jumped up
and down, and twisted and strained from
side to side, as though it was off the track.
Then there was an awful, tearing sound, and
the front truck seemed turned on its side,
and the wheels came ripping through the
floor, scraping it Off smashing all the seats,
aud scattering chips and splinters all over.
This all happened in minute; there was no
time to think The passengers all except
two or three who, like myself, clung to the
TOP of the car, were thrown down; some
we're stunned, I think, by the flying
fragments. Then the truck came grinding
and splintering the floor, until it reached the
middle of the car, where it seemed stopped
by stronger woodwork. First of all, the
lady who was talking with Mr Rushmore fell
down on the wheels and was hurled over and
over: she came up twice | think she was
killed outright Mr.. Rushmore first was
caught by his legs, when the truck stopped
a minute in the middle of the car; he was
wedged in; never can forget how he looked;
there was a splinter jammed in his cheek
close to the eye, but I could see that he was
moving his lips; there was too much noise
to hear anything except shrieks. and ,groaInss'
but he threw up one hand and turned up his
eyes and could see he was praying; l only
heard one word, it was Jesus The next
second the truck crushed him down; the car
got loose, thousands of spinters hew all
over me like needles, sticking in me-there
was numbness in my head, and knew no
more until was pulled out from under the

THE news that q Constitution for Cuba
has been formed, probably by the exiles in
Washington, makes more plausible the story
that the leaders of the island itself have de-
clared outright for annexation. Whatever
opinion may have been at first entertained OF
the expediency Of this act, there can be
little question that the Cubans earnestly,
if not altogether unanimously, desire such
connection with the United States as shall
save it from the grasp of Spain. Washing
ton kilograms say that the new Constitution
divides the island into three States, which
will some day knock at the door of the
Union. In that case we would have to add
to our banner three stars instead of one out
of the large extent of territory represented
in the names of Cuba, Havana, and CANA
guey But let us not be hasty to "count
our birds before they are hatched." The
Cubans have still very serious work before
them. They have TO apprise us definitely
that republican government and state is
held by them. While they are striving to
do this for Us, no sympathy and aid we can
give them as a people should be withheld.

The cable undertakes to explain for US the
fantastic course of the London money mar
ket. Its advices correspond with the pre-
vious Judgment of Cur business community
The Londoners were first alarmed by Senator
Summers speech While their market was
consequently in sensitive condition, there
came an effort to place Spanish loan-to
say nothing of one or two other National
stock-jobbing ventures-and the Bauk Of
England made resistance by raising its rate
of discount, and threatening a still further
advance. Trade had already been somewhat
depressed; and these succeeding circumstan-
ces served to produce something which was
very near panic in London, and near enough
the same thing to be uncomfortable in New
York. The effect must, however, be only
transitory since it originated partly in mis-
apprehension, was stimulated by temporary
expedients, and has been counteracted by
the entrance of the United States into the
market for its own bonds at the rate of
million per week.
