He says:
We were strongly advised by the officers and

9th, and on that day passed through tho VII
lages Of Little Raven and Yellow Bear Of the
Afrapahoes, Mahnimack and Little Robe Of
the Che}ennes, all camped together. After
resting an hour with Little Raven, he told me
to look out for party Of fifteen Cheyennes,
as he did not know whether they we're friend

that Tracy 3 train had been captured, but thoy
did not tell us. We touu1 1t out by seeing Jo
Thompson's grave with head board and epi-

We did not atop long after this, but pulled
up stakes and drove al night, reaching here at
daylight next morning. Our friends were as

, 1870-06-24

About q year ago, the city of Quincy
without any authority or color of law, voted
a gratuity Of half million Of bonds to aid
IN the construction of railroad in Mis-
souri,
A clause in the schedule of the new con-
stitution, inserted at the earnest request of
the Quincy members in the convention,
authorizes that city to tax itself TO pay the
interest and principal of these bonds; bnt
it specifically provides that no part of such
indebtedness so created, shall be paid by
the State or from any State revenue. tar or
fund. lut he sals ,sahd1 be paid by the city
of ,by taxes to be lowed
ugt1 l5tsry thereof.
I'd glS1t It seems, does not suit
the o5fperreaf Quincy Herald, which in
sists that the State Treasury shall pay tho
Missouri bonds. It calls on the citizons Of
Quincy to voto unanimously against tho
new constitution, ON account Of the section
in the schedule permitting Quincy to pay
her own iasue Of bonds to Missouri rnn-
road. It cites the act of 1860, which con-
dscates certain State taxes for the benefit
of the stockholders Of rai1roads to be built
in Illinois. But that act gives no city or
county authority to con6scate State
taxes 10 donate to railroad .compa-
MES IN other States; aud oppos-
ing tho new constitution does not
help the matter particle. The Quincy
bonds were Illegally voted and issued, and
do not come under the tax-stealing net of
1869 by any possible construction. Their
only validity is that which is conferred on
them by the section in the schedule object
ed to by the Herald. But that paper seems
to think if the new constitution is defeated,
by some hocus-pocus, bill could be stolen
through the Legislature in an "omnibus'
by which the half million of Missouri rail-
road bonds will be sadd1ed on the State
Treasury Of Illinois, The danger of such q
contingency should cause every citizen in
other parts OF tho State to vote fos tho new
constitution in order to put stop to TINT,
Us well as thousand other, schemes of con-
templated pub1ic plunder.

Tho -s2tsIceo VI I1Ifc5oUI BuTttHEIlf{Q
before the Commercial Committee OF the
Board Of Trade in yesterdays issue should
be carefully read by our business men. II
cannot be doubted that the establishment
Of amelHng works to reduce the refuse
materia1 of the Western mines Of the pre-
cious metals, would prove profitable to
those who have the enterprise to risk the
small amount of capital required for the
purpose, and thai, incidentally, it would add
largely to the business and commercial re-
sources Of the city. If these ores can be
shipped to Swansea. in Wales, and to New
ark, New Jersey, and there reduced Mt Il
profit, greater profit, by at least the
freight on the crude materials, can be real
lied in this city. AL this Was demon
strated SO forcibly BY Professor slversmith
that the reading Of his address must con-
vince our business men OF the Importance
of the enterprise.
Professor Silvers1nith states the whole
subject briefly as follows:
'sThe plan which have matured Tor the erec.
non Of reductdon works would, II taken IN hand BY
q few leading citizens and capitalists, accomplish
First The ESTABLISHING Of new industrial
pursuit IN this city that would pay from 80 to 70
per cent per annutn on the amount Invested.
Second. The additional commercial facilities
and exchange between this city and the Terri
tories
= Third The impetus that would be giYen TIC
me mining regions, and the development Of mln-
d Fourth. That Capitalization OF ores and
bullion, as purchased or beneclatel at this city,
tai, with large returns Of interest," and from which
Newark, New York, and Great Britain derive grcai
emuluments at this time"
As to the cost Of the works, he gives the
following estimate:
1.-THE erection Of reduction works, capable Of
reducing ten tons Of orc per day, need NOT exceed
f2o ,ooo Hence, company Organized with cap
ltal of $50 Go0 with which to p:y current expenses
and capital Tor ne purchase tf ores and bullion

q First, From ESSAYS and analytical e1amlna-
tions:
Ing gold from silver Or copper.
'' Fourth. From smelling jewellers and silver
manufacturers sEeeptnXa.
..f'lnh. From working al. kinds Of gold and
silver ores, and the u.iIzatlon of hascr clements
guch is sulphur, nthasgc, copper, etc"
It may be well to remind our readers, in
this connection, that Captain Benjamin
Richardson, wealthy Californian, appre-
ciating the position of Chicago with refer
ence TO the reduction of these ores, has re-
Gently decided to one OF our universities q
