same story as their predecessors, Of
not being paid for their work, exposed
to all the hardships OF life in a desert
country, called upon to sign a state
ment that they came out to Lower CAL
ifornia as emigrants under the auspices
of the Lower California Company, and
were then shipped off to San Francisco.
They say there are about fifty more,
including several women, left on the
peninsula, all anxious to get away,
and determined to leave the first op
portunity. They have been hanging
around the office OF the Lower Califor-
MIA Company, on California street, all
the morning with the hope of having
an interview with some responsible
party connected with the Company;
but all such are prudently invisible.
The last lot are mostly young, able
bodied men, nearly all foreigners.

New York, July IA Tribune
Washington special says { has the
best authority for the rep It that the
internal revenue muddle was settled
YESTERDAY while Secretary Boutwell,
was at Long Branch, by the appoint
ment of j. w. Douglas Deputy Com
missioner, to be Commissioner in place
of Pleasonton. The appointment Is
to be made public In a day or two.
Gen. Pleasonton put an end yesterday
to ~conjectures as to his course in the
Convention in regard to the reports
current here. He said he did not in
tend to resign. He believed he was
right. He says he does not want a for
eigu mission. and will not have one,
and he would do nothing to relieve
Boutwell, Of any sensitiveness he may
feel. If the President wants him to
leave the Internal Revenue Bureau his
successor must be named, for he will
take no intimation.
New York, July 14.-It is believed
an effort will be made at the Coroner's
inquest to show that the troops fired
needlessly and without orders. In
spector Mailing, who will be a good
witness on this point, Is of the opinion
that the firing would have been neces-
sary in ten minutes at the latest.
Showers Of bricks and stones were
being thrown from the housctops and
windows, while pistol-shots were be-
ginning to come thicker and faster
every minute. The mob seemed to be
gathering courage and strength, and II
would o have been absolutely neces.
sary to commence firing.
A large number Of witnesses will BE-
summoned, and the investigation viii
DO very thorough. It Is doubtful
whether the inquest can be commenced
before the last part Of next week, and
| the SOTOleE dlSO NlSitCo thV VNNAsSeNS
to cool down before he begins.
The Grand Jury will adjourn to-day
subject to a call from the District At
torney's Office, to investigate the riot
and Recorder Blackett will set nex'
week to try the cases Of those arrested
rs rioters.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE T'ribnne''
New York special says: It Is def
nitely ascertained that at a meeting o.
the Tammany leaders, held this morn

quate to describe the bitterness ant
wrath Of the Catholic Irish towards
him. A mass meeting of Irishmen ha'
been called to denounce him. Among
the leaders are Gen. Mcmahon, lat
Minister of Nicaragua, Gen. Sweeney
and John Mitchell.

Whs Arc 70 Blame fer tho New York
RioIs

The Tribune of the 18th, contains the
following severe structures on the con-
duct of the New York city and State
officials, regarding the want of preven-
ton Of the riot on the 18th of July:
The blood of the one hundred and
more men, women and children, yes.
terday ncedlessly killed or wounded
in the chief city Of this hemisphere,
rests upon the head of one or two men,
If not on tho heads Of both. We brush
Mr.. kelso, the poltroon tool, aside rs
of not the slightest consequence, we
are dealing with principals. A. Oakley
Hall, Mayor of the city of New York,
surrendered to the mob and forced his
creature ut the police headquarters to
make q proclamation Of fact, and SO In
yited Yesterdays work. John L. Hoif-
man. Governor of New York, made no
public effort to spare the city from the
mob rule until the morning OF the riot.
The guilt of Mayor Hall Is ~undentable
and not denied. That Of Gov. Hoff-
IA Is equally clear, unless he can
convince the people, whose trust he
seems to have betrayed, that he acted
with all tho vigor he could command
the moment he knew of the danger.
Mark on the tombstones Of Yesterdays
victims Murdered by the criminal
management of Mayor A. Oakley Hail.
and make rigid inquisition Of the blood
and be sure that the name Of Gov. John
II. Hoffman shall not be added to the
inscription. Now We have made care
full inquiry into this matter, and we
learn that Gov. Hoffman was In the
city on Monday and was then fully In
formed as to tho actual condition OF
affairs with reference to the proposed
procession. for he sent an officer OF his
staff to confer with the Mayor on the
subject, at the City Hall. Yet 1t was
not until after midnight on Wednesday
morning, that he took any action, and
after Gov. Randolph, the Democratic
Chief Magistrate of New Jersey, had
set him a noble example Of m%anliness;
after the whole respectable population
of New York had risen in angry pro-
test and after n storm Of Indignation
had burst forth which no Governor
could possibly face, lie published his
proclamation, not OH Tuesday, when
It was dated, but on Wednesday morn
Ing at such an hour that most OF the
morning papers were unable to make
any comments on it, and the Orange
men, rs he doubtless hoped, would be
unable to turn it to advantage. Pub
lished OH Monday, the Governors pro-
clamation would probably have In
sured n parade, and saved the awful
flow of blood we have this morning to
report. Published Wednesday, 1t was
q confession Of weakness, an encour.
agement to the enemy. Upon Gov.
Ho(fman's head is the guilt for yester-
days massacre, because he truckled to
the mob and waited to be forced by
public opinion into tho performance OF
his sworn duty. Upon his head Is
equally the guilt with the Infamous
plotter Of surrender to the mob. unless
he can prove that he was deceived by
that plottcr on Mondays conference.

PROFANITY AND DANeYEREYEs.-
There are many opinions yet to be
expressed on the subject of what Is
commonly called profanity. l have
arrived at the conclusion myself that,
in impassloned natures, what is called
profanity Is only the state OF prophetic
exaltation which naturally seeks vent
In intensified language. I shouldn't
think the worse OF this fine, vigorous
creature II, in q moments inspired
frenzy, she should burst the tame
boundaries of ordinary language. It
is true the vulgar might call 1t profane.
It requires anointed eyes to SEQ such
things truly, When we have risen 70
these nights where we now stand, we
behold ali things purified. There Is
around MS a new heaven and a new
earth. And so. you see, Dacia Dang
yereyes turns out a tip-toP angel OF the
new dispensation.-Mrs. Sto,7e.

.ININa mn THE TERRITORIES

Gold and silver mining In seVerai
of the intermediate Territories between
the Missouri river and California Is
proving to be unusually prosperous
this season. The population of Utah
has been nearly doubled since the lst
of January last, In consequence Of the
discovery and development, in districts
adjacent to Salt Lake, of a number Of
vastly rich silver quartz veins, some OF
which are yielding as high as $1,000
per ton by working process. As an
item with reference to these mines, we
NAV mention that during the past four
months fully 2, 1000 tons of the selected
ore have been shipped daily In SACKS
by the Union Pacific railroad to New
York, and thence by sailing vessels 70
Swansea and other points In Europe
for reduction by the smelling process.
In Montana Territory. which has had
a scarcity Of water during the past
three or four seasons, there Is now an
abundant supply, a great demand for
labor at high wages, and the most
positive evidence of an unprecedented
prosperity amongst her people. While
possessing an endless number Of rich
gold and silver quartz leads yet the
great resource Of Montana, which Is
now being most probably worked, Is
In her numerous gold placers, where
the poor man has as good a chance as
the rich to accumulate wealth. From
this source alone 1t Is estimated that
not less than as, 600, 900 will be taken
out In Montana this year. And this
golden-ribbed Territory, for six hun
dred miles in length, forms the grand
keystone in the continental span Of the
North Pacific railroad.

determination, with the same disregard of
the great principles, as also the same reck-
lessness toward the people Of Hayti, who
have never injured the United States In
view of these things, the first subject of in
quiry is not of the soil, climate, productive
ness, ami possibilities of wealth, but the ex-
ceptional and abnormal proceedings OF our
own Government. Before condemning the
treaty or any question of acquisition, we
must at least put ourselves right as nation.
Nor do | see how this can be done without
retracing our steps, and consenting that the
act is characterization to the international
law and the Constitution of the United
States. Therefore, on the question Of ac-
QUESTION say nothing to-day, only abiding
to some questions involved in the question
whether we will assume the bloody hazards
involved in this bus ness. as il has been pur
sued with alternative expenditures for war
ships and troops, causing the most painful
anxieties. While there is still the other
question of the debts and obligations, ac-
knowledged and unacknowledged, with an
immense claim by Hayti and an unsettled
boundary, which | have already called a
blood lawsuit, TO my mind there is some
thing better than belligerent interven-
ton and acts of war, with menace
of absorption, at untold cost of
treasure. 1t is sincere and humane
effort on our part, in a spirit of peace, to re-
concile Hayti and Dominica, and establish
tranquility throughout the island. Let
this be attempted, and our Republic will be-
come an example worthy of its name and
the civilization which it represents, while
republican institutions will have new glory.
The blessings of good men would attend
such an effort. Nor would the smile Of
Heaven be wanting. And may we not
justly expect the President to unite in such
measure of peace and good will
