THE SHEPELER FAILURE.-The New
York Tribune says: It will probably
take from four TO six weeks for the
firm to ascertain the amount of their
liabilities, so vast were their business
transactions in this country and Europe.
In the meantime, they expect TO be able
to resume business again. The Ger
man bankers and brokers of this city
have rendered to the first loan of $6OO,S
600. but on nscertaining that this sum
would not be sufficient TO meet the de-
mands on the firm, IL was decided 70
raise 81 100000 at once to enable the
old ana trusted firm to resume business
again. Messrs. Schneiwind, Frank &
Schepper, bankers and brokers, at No.
So Exchange.place, and Messrs. kretz
& Hertel, brokers, of No. 4S Broad street.
have both been obliged TO suspend
business in consequences of the failure
Of Shepeler & Go. They hope, however,
to be able TO resume again in short
time, as assistance has been offered them
by their brother brokers.

Mr.. MOTLEY, on being presented with
an address by the Liverpool Board OF
Trade, made the usual expressions OF
amity on behalf of fhe American people
and hoped it was reciprocated. They
having evidently introduced feeler on
the Free Trade question, he told them
that issue was vested in Congress, not
in him. If Mr.. Motley has any startling
instructions, he has so far made no allus
sion to them. Very probably he is in
structed to maintain q mastery insc~
tiyity on the Alabama question, and
carries no red flannel irritants to shake
in the face of the somewhat irate john

THE MOOSE CREEK MINES.

The following concerning the Moose
Creek mines, on the edge of Idaho and
Montana, is from the Independent of the
Goth. 1t is believed by persons from
that section. that they will develop well
and make prosperous camps. G-s
l suppose your readers will think
that have Moose Creek on the brain,
but l can assure them that l have not,
but as it is the only camp near our
western boundary. and as il promises 10
be quite extensive, and will be in both
Montana and Idaho, l cannot help but
call attention to it. 1 have conversed
with quite a number of men from there
during the last week, and they all agree
that there is q good camp there at this
time, and 1t is continually increasing.
Some forty set of sluices were at work,
and all were taking out money, though
working to a great disadvantage, the
snow still being on the ground. No
animals have reached the camp yet, and
will not for two weeks. A large NUNS
Der of small gulches have been found,
putting into the main stream, which Is
called. / believe, "Hoosier creek" A
town has been laid out and christened
"Marysville." Several large runs have
been reported, some of them almost
fabulous; and have been informed by
men who were present, that two men

ounces, one piece weighing $50. saw

The Cincinnati Commercial publishes
a list of 1874 steamers lost on the West
ern rivers from September 80. 1867, to
May 5,1s69. OF these 40 were burned, IA
exploded, and 101 sunk. The actual tom
mage of them was 3S,221 ,35 tons. This,
the Pittsburgh Chronicle says, is not one
third of the whole number of disasters,
and that the unusual frequency of dis
asters is extinguishing the steamboat
business rapidly.

REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICTS.

The Counties having Joint Councils
men and Representatives should nomi-
nate them as such and see that the tick
cts are properly prepared. Under the
Organic Act the members of the House
are chosen for one year only, and the
full number is thereby to be elected this
year The Legislature at it's last SEES
sion passed an act making the sessions
hereafter biennial. Congress subse-
quenily passed an act making biennial
sessions in all the Territories. and re-
quiring the Legislatures at their next
succeeding sessions to pass acts in ac>
cordauce Herewith. 1t is now a mooted
question whether the act Of the Mons
tana Legislature, passed previous to the
act of Congress holds good, OF whether
the Legislature will have to convene
this year to again pass the act in ac~
cordance with the act of Congress. The
question hinges on the provision in the
Organic Act, that there shall be but
one session of the Legislative Assembly
annually, etc" and whether that clause
contemplates there shall be one session
annually. 1t is a nut for jurists to
crack, and for the people to consider. If
the act of the Legislature heretofore
made is valid. whether a session next
winter is required by the Territory.

Mr. MOTLEY is to present his creden-

boasts that from the tone of Mr.. Motley's 8

is a matter of small importance and the
best result anticipated from his mission
is that he will have time to prosecute
his historic researches. Bull is playing

The sisterhood OF American Statcs-Beliige.
rent Rights and Privnteer Cruisers.
MY DEAR C0MM0D0RB --:-Excuee these few
hasty lines from the field OF battle. l have had q
sanguinary fight with our bitter enemies, almost
three to one; but, thanks be to the Supreme
Director that has sustained the weak arm OF
liberty against our tyrannical Zoe, spain, we
were victorious. The fight was bloody
one; but the brave hearts OF free men, although
opposed by three times their number, have been
conqucrors In the cause Of freedom and liberty.
Let the world know that Cuba must and will be free.
Let the people OF the United States also know that
Cuba IL part OF the ssteriood OF the Continent OF
America, ana we ask only national rights OF each
other. Give us that aid which is so lavishly be-
slowed on span and the tricolor flag Of the republic
OF CuDa will float over the whole island.
We ask only, as republican government that
our belligerent rights be acknowledged by the United
states government, and then you, my friend, VIII
be able BY the power you hold TO place yourself in
command OF Cuban feet, and doubtless you will
soon sweep the broad Atlantic OF the wild foe that
we are now contending against. Get our privateers
ready, aud before many days have elapsed and with
the aid OF the Almighty Power the sea will swarm
with them. Remember me 10 =. Yours, az
