DISCOVERY OF A VALUABLE SILVER
NINE IN New MExIco.-It is stated that
recently an extraordinary silver mine has
been discovered in the San Andreas Canon,
about forty miles distant from La Mesila.
From some specimens of the ore taken out
it is proved to be of extraordinary richness
yielding 81 100 per ton. The Famous
Comstock lode in Nevada, which was pre-
viously reported to be the richest silver
mine in the world, has yielded only $3.50 a
ton. The discovery of this silver ore in the
Mesilla Valley is likely to create large
immigration to that section ofNew Mexico.
As tie agricultural capabilities of the coun-
try amount to nothing this discovery of sil-
yer ore will make the mountains blossom
as rose for wherever gold or silver is
found man is sure to improve the country
with all the evidences of m odern civilization
in progress.

ELopEMENTs-The wife OF DR.. D. s.
Sheppard, of Everton, Fayette county, In
diana, eloped with Henry Kingery, a JUS
tice Of the Peace, recently, while her hus
band was attending edical lectures in
Cincinnati. Mrs. Sheppard left four chill
dren, carrying off only her infant child, and
her paramour left behind wife and six
children, all destitute. The deserted nus
band offers reward of $500 for the parties
dead or alive.
Also, DR.. Fishbatt, of Milwaukee,
recently eloped with young lady, and at
last accounts they were in that elysium of
immortality, Indiana, patiently waiting for
the doctor to get divorce from his wife, to
whom be has been married but about two
years. Accounts state that the young lady
is the most to blame and we predict that
she will yet live to rue the day she sturted
on such degraded tour.

coming more marked. The General has
announced himself in favor of repeal OF
the Tenure of>Offi ce law, the passage OF

Radicals), and the retention III Office oI

These views are of course denominations in

to make unmolested raids upon the Fedora

ming to disappear, and their wrath at the
destroye& of their hopes is excessively
violent. They went Wool-gathering and

The abovs extract is from the Tribune of

Republican, aud shall put in our claim as
the organ Of that branch OF the party in
the county.
But how is it with our neighbor Of the
Tribune? Should he himself living in a glass
house, throw stones unnecessarily and un-
cerenoniously against our windows2 Is
he a Republican or a Democrat2 We
confess that we are willing to keep him in
the former party, but large number Of
republicans IN this and other counties insist
that he is not only ready to turn Demo

member Of the Democrats ranks. For in
stance, Mr.. SAWYER, the Republican
member of Congress, bis home organ, the
Oshkosh Northeastern, and hundreds of
bis friends in that section cannot be made
to believe otherwise THAI that the editor of
the Tribune "played four' on Mr. S. at
the last election biting him below the

TIE CASE OF JOHN I'll. SURRATr. "A

TIE CASE OF JoHN Ill. SURRATr. r.-Af-
ter strenuous efforts upon the part Of the
government to secure another Indictment
against John Ii. Surratt, the project seems
to be abandoned as hopeless. A number
of the old witnesses have been brought be-
fore the grand jury, but they refused to re-
peat the testimony given by them ON the
former trial. Susan Ann jackson, (colored)
who sWore that Surratt was in Washington
city on the night Of the assassination, and
that she served him with SUPPER at his
mother S residence, en- being brought be-
fore the grand jury few days since, de-
MED any knowledge Of Surratt's wherea-
bouts On that evening. The district attor-
ney is sid to have been taken greatly by
surprise at the conduct Of the witnesses,
none OF whom are willing to stand up to
testimony given at the last trial. Thus
will trial, the most costly ever conducted
by the government, end in miserable fails
ure. 1t is reported that Surratt has in
course of preparation for the press com
plete history of his wanderings during his
efforts to avoid the government detectives
and escape arrest, and that he will diyulgc
everything be knew bearing in any way on
the parties concerned in the assassination
of president Lincoln.

POSTMASTER GENERAL RANDALL Rec
oMMENDs THE UNION OF THE TELEGRAPH

the following summary is given
He says the telegraph lines under the
Government control would be much more
the passage of an act Incorporating COM
pany which shall construct telegraph lines
along all the postal routes, and contract
with the Postmaster General to deliver
messages at low fixed rate. 1t is recon
mended that at present the rates average
about one cent per word for all distances
not exceeding five hundred miles, and five
cents for every five words beyond that
distance. These rates are to be determined
in the act OF Congress, but the Postmastel
General is to have the power of reducing
| them whenever the profits exceed two pei
cent. of the company S capital, which is tC
be limited to two hundred dollars mile
This provision is intended to prevent the
imitation Of capital. He says: "a
thorough examination OF the subject ha:
satisfied me the department can arrange
Tor the reception and delivery OF messages
the furnishing OF stamps and the keep
ine.ot accounts, without any great increase!lr
the number OF clerks; and the business
may be made source of revenue to the

A Horrible Outrage at Mantorville

Hon. Samuel Lord of fDodge county gives
US the particulars Of a horrible cntrage
which was perpetrated at Mantorville, on
Wednesday evening last by negro named
Crawfo.t, on the person of a little Swede
giri about twelve years OF age. The girl,
whose fathers residence Is about three
quarters of mile out of town, was On her
way, in the dusk of evening, to Mantor-
vile, in order to accompany her father
home. While passing through strip of
woods skirting the village, she was over
taken by the negro above named, who, at
ter taking unseemly liberties with her,
carried her off into ravine and there out
ragged her person. Hearing a wagon COM
ing, the negro left the girl and hid behind
tree, telling the girl that if she made any
noise he would kin her. But when the
wagon approached within short distance,
the girl ran towards it screaming violeat>
ly, aud was soon rescued from her perilous
situation. The negro disappeared in the
woods. Alarm was raised, however, and
in a short time q dozen persons were In
pursuit of the negro. The hunt was kept
up ell night when the villain was finally
caught and lodged in the county Jail.
The excitement was intense among the
citizens of Mantoryille, aud the indigna-
ton was SO great that there was at one
time symptoms of a disposition to ilfict
summary punishment on the scouDdrel,
but calmer cOunseis prevailed, and he
waits the penalty which the law prescribes
for his infamous crime.-St. Paul Press
