Speaking of the documents sent TO
Congress by the President on the 18th
inst, showing the action i'm the case OF
Georgia under the last reconstruction act.
the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial says: "They
show that Terry submitted great many
questions as to his power i'm premises,
and that the President and Gen. Sherman
fully Endorsed his views and said they
would sustain him in case of any author
ity and that they would maintain order
i'm the State until it was recognized by
Congress. In many cases where Terry
asked for instructions, he was directed
to use his own discretion. The military
inquiry that he ordered into the eligibility
of certain members, was carefully can
sidered by the President and his cabinet
and by them sustained. 1t TINS appears
that the Grant administration sustained
all of Terry's usurpations.

The Courier-Journal regards the
8 secret circular" of the Republican
officials of this State, who claim life
lease upon IFS offices, as a political
blunder on the part of its authors, as
party measure. Referring to Secre-
tary Fletcher it characteristics him san
able and not an unamiable, but an
impatient man. He is fcnd of office,
and, being Secretary of State, does
not want to vacate now or hereafter.
His idea of loyalty is to hold Office
at all hazards and to the last extremity
But this circular, is a mere saw,
without teeth to it, a sham, aquiddity,
an absurdity. g

enormous, new article appears i'll the mar

delicious and wholesome aliment, almost for

FARINE, which is now, by virtue of it's extra

the gelatinous articles on food manu- featured
from maize and grain. The raw material of
this nutritious and fsttening agent il the free
gilt of nature: marine moss growing in pro-
digious quantities on the Irish coast, and
known a. Carrageen. Clesnsed, desiceated,
concentrated and reduced to powder by a
patent process, this wonderful plant yields a
larger quantity of pure, palatable alment in
proportion to its weight. than any substance
produced from the great agricultural staples.
Artistic cocks pronounce it the finest article
for custards, buildings, creams, soups,
sauces, tc., that has yet been discovered,
and the SEA Moss FARINE Co., Of New York,
who own the patent, find it all they can do to
keep pace with the demands for the new staff

REPORTED DISCOVERY OF SUBTERRANEAN
OUTLET TO GREAT SALT LAKE.-A dispatch
from Oorinne, Utah, says subterranean
outlet to Great Salt Lake has been found
opposite Corinne, and between the Fremont
and Kimball islands. The schooner Pho
neer, Capt Hannah, sailing in the vicinity
last Tuesday, was down into the opening,
which is an immense maelstrom. or stu
pendous whirlpool, and. the descent and
circular motion of the water was so rapid
and violent that the vessel was made to
spin around with frightful velocity, and il
was only by high winds prevailing at the
time that she was enabled to sail beyond
the influence OF the awful chasm. Captain
Hannah reports that he has no doubt that
this opening never before discovered, is
the grand outlet of the lake. A party of
scientific men will leave here Immediately,
on the steamer Kate Conner, TO investigate
this, the greatest of modern wonders. The
result will probably show how, for ages,
the accumulation from thousand mountain
streams has disappeared through the
earths surface.

1862 with 5000, bought gold at 10 and
sold it at 135; bought again three times as
much, sold it for 160; went into Erie at 80,

sold it for 165. In March, 1863, he had
$40, 600 at his bankers. But this was only

in Harlem, so he bought 1900 Harlem.
Morse was at work at Pittsburg, so he

Gold and its GOings.

been diminished to $4,000, 900. In 1900
the amount had risen to slU5, 000 900: in

In the reign of Darius gold WAS thirteen
times more valuable, weight for weight, than

times as valuable. In the time of Julius
