LAKE SUPERIOR SILVER MINES.
Rich Ore--$600,O00 Worth Already
| -,t Taken Ont. sA- 'f

The discoveries at Silver Islet, on
the north shore of Lake Superior, are
among the most remarkable yet re-
corded. Their richness is beyond q
question. as demonstrated by the re-
suits of assays at the United States
Mint in Philadelphia. AS to the
quantity of ore available the future
only can determine. The main fact
is, that from little island skirting
the shore, only q short distance
across the lake form the famous cop,
per region of Michigan, silver to the
value of 5000, 900 has been taken
since the mine was opened last year.
The island Is a mere reef of rock,
which has been Enclosed by wooden
crib about 300 feet square. The vein
is eight feet wide and has been
opened to the length of seventy feet.
From this "hole" there has been
shipped to the smelters in Newark
since the opening Of navigation this
year 456, 049 pounds of ore valued at
nearly ST. per pound. TO this must
be added.$l00, 0O0previously obtained.
The purity of the ore Is so extraordi-
nary that on one occasion Mr.. Ball
bach, the Newark refiner. selected
specimens which weighed in crude
state 1900 ounces and yielded no less
that 600 of pure metal.-Ne,U York

Alexander III. Stevens, Vice. Press
ident of the late Southern Confeder-
acy, has been dying for years, but
not having reached that point in his
history, we find him turning up as
editor of the Atlanta Sun. He
evinces great devotion to the 'lost
cause" and the constitution as it
was, in his salutatory, for which the
New York Sun Mus eCisely raps him
over the knuckles: sos.
Having been Vice President of the
defunct Confederacy, Stephens of
course feels great solieitude lest harm
should come to the Constitution of
the United States. Having fought
four years to overthrow the Federal
Government. it, is natural that he
should now be extremely anxious for
the preservation of the American
Union. Having been one of the Jul
ing chiefs in the greatest military
despotism of modern times, nobody
will doubt his sincerity when he
clamors for the domination of ball
lots over bayonets. ,., ..,.
But even Stephens has to admit
the irresistible force of events, for
they sweep him along with the rest
of mankind. In 1860 he proclaimed
war against the verdict of the ballo.
boxes of that year. In 1864 he was
still fighting 1t out OIL that line. In
1868 he drew rien and came to halt.
And now he has advanced so far that
he declares that he will stand OH the
principles proclaimed i'm the Demo-
cratic platform of that veal! This is
encouraging, and tends strongly to
prove that ii Stephens should live to
be as old as Methuselah, and if his
wind should not give out, he may
catch up with his times. BY way of
trying an intermediate experiment
we advise Stephens to run himself
for President next year, on the plat
form Of 1868, which he says embod-
les the "absorving live issues" of the
day, We assure him that he will
not be crowded for standing room,
and that the Democratic party will
not bring an action of replevin to
take away his foothold.

JOHN b. COUGH in a recent lecture
said: II cannot drink moderately.
Ii is physically and morally imposs-
ible. If any man should give me
whisky by any means unknown to
myself, it would be at the risk of my
sinking back to what / was twenty
five years ago. You may call it
weakness, or what you will, but it is
the truth" We do not doubt 1T, for
we once knew gentleman in Bos.
ton, a man Of the highest literary
character and fame, who occasional-
ly took to extreme drinking, who
once said, when demonstrated with
concerning his infirmityy: II love
my wife and children dearly and de-
votedly; but when I have tasted
liquor, were they standing on the
brink of the bottomless pit, and the
condition offered me that should
see them go to eternal destruction II

81 am quite sure, gentlemen, that there has
been more sober, perhaps more gloomy,
thoughts in the minds of the people Of the
United States regarding their government,
their prosperity, their safety, even, during the
| last few years than there ever were during the
ninety years of our independence as nation
before. am quite sure that those who I'M
derstand the subject most fully and the honest
instincts OF the common sense of the nation.
know and understand that we are in the pres
ence of more powerful menace against our
institutions that ever the institutions of slav-
cry or the war of the rebellion placed before
ms. There we had an enemy that we could
know and crush there we had an array that
was furnished with deadly weapons against
us, but against whom we could aim deadly
weapons with sure aim; but in the great crisis
of our fate as a nation, which we are so sud-
denly brought in the presence of, after our
struggle for the integrity of the Union, we do
not know who are our friends or who are
our foes. We do not know how many our
foes are, because, by the Justification of suf-
frage. honest men are placed at terrible dis
advantage. There is no repeating on the bat
tle-tield. If man answers to his roll-call,
he is apt to be somewhat courageous, and he
never answers twelve times; but in the suf
frage, see how you are opposed by the power of
fraud Selling the very sacred vessels of free
government, and poisoning the draught from
which the very spirit of liberty is supposed to
be kept alive. Now, gentlemen, the two
State tickets of the two parties are here. The
great issue, the great fact, the great thought
before the people of the State, as well as of
the city, was corruption and nothing else;
and Tammany is corruption and nothing else,
and everybody knows it, Tammany knows it;
you know it; all the people know 1t ; and both
the State conventions knew it; and the re-
publican State convention nominated this list
Of worthy citizens, of their own party. of
course. And the democratic convention had
its choice out of its own party, whom it would
nominate, and it nominated the same ticket
that had filed the offices at Albany while the
legislative corruption was going on, and while
the legislative power was building up the
schemes of fraud and robbery that Tammany
had executed. / have no other statement to
make, no other question to ask in regard to
the vote to be given-for corruption or against
corruption-between these two tickets"
1t is to the republican party that the
people again have to look for deliverance
from the danger threatening our insitu-
tons. Democracy clings to the wrong,
upholds that which would bring sure death
to the nation were it successful. But we
trust that it is doomed to defeat in New
York. We hope that the honest ticket
will be elected. There should be no doubt
of it, but marvellous is the power of
Tammany in the casting of ballots, and
heavy must be the honest vote that will
overcome the fraud sure to be practised.
