"HOTEL DE AMERICANA"

SIE:-The above named hotel is situated about
one mile and half to the west of Auburn and
is being kept by the veritable Dan Slossen Al d
his amiable lady, whose tables are continually V
groaning under the viands set thereon Hele
the hungry are not sent empty away and the
the thirsty may come forth and drink. As there
is entertainment for man and beast. parties trav-
cling on visit to our principal mines would do
we'll to give Dan CALL as everything can be had
to strengthen the inner man, and to remain over
night would be treat seldom enjoyed. At early
dawn the birds of the valley peal forth their
matin songs, while
young philomed down in the grove
Breaks sweetly the silence of night
This, in connection with the sound Of the butch
er's bugle reverberating from mountain to noun
tain, would amply repay one for nights repose
on hard couch.
In clos, proximity TO the hotel is situated the
Crandall mine-formerly known as the Cox and
Denton-famousin in history. but not more famous
than its merits deserve. There is shaft now in
process of sinking on said mine, its present depth
being about 70 feet. In the bottom OF the shat
the ledge is over five feet wide, pregnated with
sulphurets Of copper, iron aud galena, produc
ing occasionally beautiful specimens Of gold; snt
the rock, upon the whole, is far superior to any
have seen in our nei9hboring mines. There is
also a tunnel driven some distance on the course
of the ledge. Seven tons OF rock taken from
the tunnel and crushed at the North Star mill
Grass Valley, paid $50 per ton in free gold, ex
elusive of the sulphurets. l would like to SEE
another ledge in this district that would pay bet
teri G., exclusive of sulphurets. 1t appears as
# this tunnel was commenced too low down by
the side of a rivulet. In a very wet season this
small rivulet would become mighty stream, and
carry everything before it that came in its way
and the tunnel serve as an inlet instead of NJ
outlet for the water from the mine. However
this is only conjecture and may never coma te
pass. CAPTAIN FAULL.

Toll KoAps.-A meeting OF our business eiti-
zens has been called for this evening at Armory
Hall to consult as to the best means of relieving
our people and those visiting the town ON busi-
ness or pleasure Of the toll-road tax, which all
men coming from the southwest portion of the
county must pay before they can enter Auburn.
We have no complaint to make of the road or the
rates OF toll, because it is private property, built
and maintained by private money and labor, and
Is as sacred any other individual property
but the time has come when people should be
permitted to reach the County Seat W thout hav-
ing to pay toll within the limits of the town site.
We have but one toll-gate in Auburn, and if that
could be got rid of there is hardly man in town
who would not feel relieved, and also feel the
benefit in his business; especially would this be
the case with hotel keepers livery stable pro-
prietors, merchants, saloon keepers, blacksmiths,
wagon makers, etc. The road can be purchased,
We learn, at a fair price, if the money can be
raised-and if the benefit each man in town and
country would derive from its being free road
could be arrived at, we have no doubt the money
would be cheerfully paid in. The most popu-
lous section of the county must pass through
this toll-gate to get into town. Had we have
been blessed with Board of Supervisors Of ord
inary business capacity, and disposition to
carry it out for the people, we would have got
for our railroad stock an amount of money sufii-
ciont to have paid all the county debt and
bought all the toll-roads and bridges in it, and
had plenty of money left. But that opportunity
was lost-thrown or squandered away-and the
millions this county should have received now
gingles in the pockets of wealthy men, who
never paid dollar to build the railroad, while
our Auburn people must rake their tlls and
pockets to get money to buy this toll-road, OF
endure the tax forever. But we must take thing
as we find them, not forgetting the instruments
that forces the necessity and apply the best
remedy in our possession. Every business man
in Auburn should make it his business to at end
the meeting tonight, prepared to act and talk
for himself We hope the hall will be crowded,
and that full interchange Of views will lead to
the adoption of some plan that will be satisfactory
to all and result in omplishing the object de-
sired.

.uor, Tno, q Personal Friend.

If half of what Republican newspa
per men say about the Grant family
is true, the President and his wife
should both be in the Penitentiary
instead Of the White House. That
they were both engaged in tho gold
gambling business, is notorious be-
cause, when they were caught at it,
after having made $4,000 at one heat,
and they and their coniedcrates ex'
posed, the business commenced to
anguish and now is entirely broken up.
This gold gambling business, how
ever is not as infamous as the buying
and selling of contraband goods during
the war. This charge is made 10y the
then Assistant Secretary of War and
now editor of the New York Sun
Charles A, Dana, who, in his issue ol
the 3D., says; e
"Thc World reports that while Prcsideui Grani
was in 50. Louis last week. a considerable numbel
of Republicans waited upon him to ask for th'
removal Of Charles W. Ford Collector Of lntcrna
Revenue for the First District of Missouri. Thu
writer in the World adds that Ford is ''an OLD
friend Of Grant, and was appointed ON purel,
personal grounds, never having been active u
politics" This is very true, but II is not th'
whole truth.
Tho fact is that after the surrender Of Vicks
burg Gen Grant gave Ford permission to eslao
hsh what was called trade store In that place
This store enjoyed peculiar advantages for max
| ing money No ordinary merchant was allowe'
to sell goods to persons beyond tho lines, al
such porsons being compelled to purchase fron
the trade store exclusively. Ford also cnioyel
special privileges in the way of getting out cotton
Planters in the neighborhood Of Nicksburg CAV
him handsome shares in the proceeds Of thei
cotton, in return for being allowed to use the IN
oilities which he possessed for getting II out an'
taking il TO market For instance, one lot Of so
bales was got to Liverpool by way Of New 0roan
in November, 1868, aud sold for upwards Of 5000,
600. Twenty per cent. OF such sum woul'
amount TO $4,000 it was emphaticay "a GOO
thing j" and it is bat a sample Of other goo
things Of the same sort.
Endowed with such prerogatives, this estab
lishment of Ford's was very profitable and, a
we have lately asccrlaincd 10 our great surpris
and regret, Mrs. Grant icas a pariner Nth Ford
and shared ia these prgfs. This fact shows tina
the President is something more than an ordinar
personal friend Of Ford. As there was partner
ship with the family in 1888, it Is not impossibl
that there may be partnership with the family J
1871.
The editor of the Sun no doub
knows whereof he speaks. But w
submit, was there ever before sucl
extraordinary charges made agains

should they not be exiled2 Z And ye

PooR SoUTu CARoLISA.-The social
and political affairs of France, under
Red Republican rule, demand the
sympathy of the whole human race.
Her proud and happy days in the
past afford her no comfort now. But
as Americans we have similar "woli
at the door" "Charity begins at
home" South Carolina, equally pros
porous and happy few years ago has
fallen prey to Black Republicans,
which are even more fatal, socially,
than tho Reds Her people are en-.
titled to our sympathy for various
reasons. The New York Eveanl
Post, after showing how South Caro-.
lima has been robbed to bankruptcy
by an ignorant mob Of negroes led by
northern scoundrels, suggests that il
federal interference with the domestic
concerns of States could possible be
justified, it would be in such n condi
tion of affairs as that which South
Carolina presents. But unfortunately
adds tho Post, the interference now
proposed is to be on the side OF the
thieves and scoundrcls in this case
"The federal government is to be used
under the Ku Klux bill, not TO re
deem South Carolina from its rob bers
but to fasten upon the taxpayers the
rule of the scamps who are plunder
ing it. The Jederdi poper oW oPped'
