We hasten to acknowledge the service done
the country by the Democracy of the
XIIIth Congressional District of Illinois
by the nomination of Col. Crebs, who,
in accepting the favor, said: "The
"negro would be fool to vote the Dem
"ocratic ticket. Let him stand by his friends.
"The Republican party gave him all his
"rghts. Let him stand by that party" 1t
is seldom Democrat blurts out the truth in
this fashion, or gives so much wholesome ad-
vice in so few words.

We extract the above paragraphs from a
good deal more such in the last issue OF The
Sun. The two former were selected for its
columns by one who must have known
whether it was true or false that "THE TRIB-
"UNE has got down on its marTOw-bOnes,"
&C., and who, if that assertion is false, must
have intended to deceive. The public will
judge.
The last quoted paragraph purports to have
been taken down from Fisks lips by Sun
reporter. 1t asserts that Z" the Erie Road must
"protect itself.n We heartily wish it could.
We should thereby have been excused from
an unpleasant but imperative duty. Were that
Road really able to protect ITSELF" Fisk's six
horse turnout at Long Branch, his farmhouse
at Newport, his sumptuous cottage his
gorgeous Opera-hOuse, &C., &C., would this
day be recognized as other mems property. If
the Legislature, the Judiciary, and the Press,
would but do their duty, ours would be far
less disagreeable. But we must take things
as we find them.
Does any person on earth believe us hostile
to the Erie Road We subscribed money to
help build it that we could hardly spare; we
begged for it, pleaded for it, with the Legisla-
ture and the People. Three Millions of Dol
lars were giren by our State toward the con-

Discovery Of New Silver Mines
Great Excitement in Colorado.

DENVER, Colorado, August 30.-The
editor of the Central Register furnishes
the following items concerning the new
silver region recently discovered north
of Denver, and which is already Great.
ing intense excitement in mining regions:
Parties are starting from Denver with
stocks of goods, and there seems to be
no doubt of the permanency and rich
ness of the mines.
CENTRAL CITY, August 29.-Our re.
porter has just returned from Grand
Island. The district is located fifteep
miles northwest Of Central City, on the
western boundary of Boulder county,
and forty miles from Denver. About
thirty ledges have been struck. Six or
eight were uncovered, showing true fis-
sure of silver veins bearing pay
rock crevices from two to five
feet in width. About five hundred
men are on the ground, and buildings
are going up rapidly. Tons of rich
ores are being hauled from the mines to
Prof Halls smelling works at Black
Hawk daily. Three regular coaches
run from here each day, besides many
private conveyances. The passengers
number about one hundred per day
The excitement is great and steadily
increasing.
The veins, so far as developed, give
the impression that this is one Of the
richest silver regions yet discovered
on the continent. Prof. Hall contem-
plates the immediate construction of
additional smelling works to meet the
increasing demand from these mines,
and other companies are talking of
erecting smelling works.

1t is said that on the 18th day OF
July last, Moses Cunningham, of Brax-
ton, did address to you letter, stating
that he expected TO register the voters
Of his Clay township, and asking
you for instructions as to the per
formance of his duties. You, sup
posing him to be Elias Ginning
ham, did reply to that letter, and
told him substantially that he must
refuse to register all he could-and help
to strike off as many as possible-as
such course was absolutely necessary
to the success of the Republican party.
rYou further told him not to get into
trouble if he could help it, but that in
aease he did there was plenty OF money
ready to take him out.
We ask you to deny these charges.
1t should not be said that the Governor
of this State, because he is candidate
for reelection, has, by his own act,
proven himself scoupdrel. Let this
matter be cleared up. If the Governor
did not write the letter above referred
TO, let him say so in any one or more Of
the public prints of the State.

Mr. Washburne's Troubles
The News From Mcmahon
Excellent.

LONDON, August 30.-A correspon-
dent of the Telegraph writing from
Paris, August 9th, gives the following
intelligence: Mr.. Washburne. the
Amerinan Minister, has a hard time Of
it with the Germans in France under
his protection. Every German who is
arrested under the provisions of the re-
cent proclamation of General Trochu,
demands at once TO he taken before
Minister Washburne, for examination.
No American has vet been captured as
a Prussian spy while ten out Of every
dozen Englishmen have been arrested.
The Telegraph adds that Americans do
not travel like Englishmen, with chests
of plate but carry their countless dia-
monds in their vest pockets and CHG
mons.
The Prussians entered Nanziers on
the heels of the retreating French.
King Williams route to Paris is by
the Upper Marne and the Meuse.
The French frigate which has been
in the harbor of Berwick, Scotland
sailed thence on Sunday, after repairing
her engines. She had received notice
from the British government to leave
Parisians of all ranks have been en-
rolled for the defense OF the city.
PARIS, August 30-The Patrie, to-
dav, in an editorial, says: Military
events of the utmost importance are
nrenarinp Whatever NAV be the re
suit at Paris, France must redouble hel
exeftions and create third and iourtf
army. The Germans are active; anc
we must use all our efforts.
"The news from the army OF McMa
hon continues excellent. He has no
been for one instant deceived by th'
movements Of the Prince Royal III
has understood that the Prince mean
to overreach his army, and he ha
therefore kept in advance Of the Prus
slams. Parisians must not, however
, cease preparing to repulse the enemy
In any event, we must be ready"

GENERAL TRocHu, the commander Of

GENERAL TROCHU, the commander oI
Paris, seems to be playing deep game.
In neither of his proclamations has he
made any reference to the Emperor or
Empress, while his holding conferences
with Thiers has a suspicious appear
ance. Disappointed ambition is said to
be the cause of Trochu's opposition to
Napoleon, and it may be thathe aspires
now to play the role of Warwick.
He may succeed, for there is no telling
what man entrusted with the power
he now wields may not do but success
cen only result from treachery. He can
put the Orleans dynasty on the throne
only by making terms with the Prus-
slams. This would be tantamount to a
betrayal of France, and would never
be forgiven by the people, 1t must GER
tainly be cause of deep modification
to Napoleon to think that he has been
forced by circumstances to confer an
important trust upon man who is pro-
baby intriguing with a rival dynasty,
if not with the national enemy, at so
momentous an hour in the fortunes OF
the empire and of the Bonaparte fami-

THE OLDEST ISHAB1TANT.-The oldest man
in America, the veteran John Kits, was re-
ceived with great cordiality by the President
and members of Congress few days ago. The
old man was born in Bedford county, Pennsyl-
vania in 1852, and is, therefore, in his 10Sth
year. He served in theRevolutionary war, and
was present at the surrender of Lord CORVALLIS
at Yorktown. In the battle preceding the sur
rendering Mr.. Kits was struck in the back of
the head by spent musket ball, and the in
dentation which it made is. still visible. The
old man points to the scar with considerable
pride, and is quite garrulous about the circum-
stances under which he received the wound.
When the war of 1872 broke out he was consid-
cred too old to enter the service as soldier,
but went in as a messenger to carry the mails.
He relates many interesting stories of the mar
row escapes he had from being taken prisoner
by the enemy's scouts. On one occasion he was
forced to leave his horses and take to the woods
so closely was he pursued. He was the bearer
of important dispatches which he succeeded in
carrying safely through. Although entitled TO
a pension both as a soldier of the Revolution
and of 1872 he has never until now asked for
it; and in his modest manner said he didn't
expect to remain long upon the rolls, and all
he would draw out of the treasury would not
bankrupt the government. He has neither
children nor grandchildren living and when
asked if he had any relatives he replied; "No,
l am the last of the stock"
