the sea beach has extensive ranges of golden
sands which hare been worked for years,
and are now producing no small annual crop
of gold, remarkable for It's purity. The sand
is black, and contains titaniferous irona and
visible particles of gold There was a rush
some years ago to these new diggings, which
failed because they fell short Of extravagant
expectations. The gold was there and pro-

the period of low water too short for work.

The Northwest.

A well-informed Chicagoian, who
has recently travelled extensively in
Illinois and the whole North west,
has written letter to citizen of
Boston, from which the Post of that
city is permitted to quote as follows: :
Ipity anybody who will bet on
West Virginia giving Grant a ma
jOrity. 1t is as sure for Greeley as
Missouri, Kentuckys0r Old Virginia.
l have rot particle of doubt of his
election. Illinois will nearly, if not
quite give him a majority, and will
elect KOener, the Liberal State tick
ct, and a Liberal Legislature. Dea-
con Bross, an enthusiastic brother,
thinks we shall beat Grant in Hi
nois by 10000. 1 think his figures
are too high, but others do not.
There certainly will be difference
of 1000 against Grant in this coun-
ty, aud we shall surely carry two of
the first three Congressional dis
tricts, and thirteen out of all. That is
the way we are '1waning" here. And
so it is throughout the Northwest

comes more and more gorgeous

Mr.. Editor In my communica-

err,r occurs which renders the cal
culations in reference to the pay
ments upon the public debt contra
dictory and unintelligible.
AfteI remarking that the istsress
upon the public debt when MIR.
johnson commenced its reduction
was one hundred and City one mil
lions, and this sum would have re-
quired a principal of two billions
i've hundred and seventeen millions,
1 then inte~ded to say, add to this
four hundred and eighty one mil
hans, of x.fxsded or aOn-interest
bearing obligations, and the grand
total of three billions minus two
and a-half millions, as claimed by
President johnson is reached" In
stead Of four hundred aud eighty
one millions, the sentence reads
simply "eighty millions" will
further remark, that this is the same
portion of the debt referred to in a
paragraph above in the same article
which states several items constitut-
ing the sxfssded obligations, and
reading "four hundred and afty
millions and over. This word /" over
referred to the thirty-one millions
Of accrued interest, which would
make ~ given above the four humid
red and eighty one millions Your
readers will now understand that

the s per cent. bonds amounted to
two billions, ave hundred and sew
enteen million, (Which required one

An Unfortunate Shooting ARRAY.

Yesterday morning q difficulty
which had been for some time
brewing between Capt. w. 8. Fitz
gerald aud Mr.. Louis Muh, both
young gentlemen Of this city, termi
mated in u rencontre on the streets,
in which both used revolvers, and
each exhausted their loads. The
circumstances are about as follows
as near n we eau learn them. They
casually met on President street,
between Pearl aud Pascagoula, in
front Of the City Hall. When Capt
Fitzgerald said, /" Mr.. Muh you as
saulted me last night, now look
OUT or words to that effect. when
they both drew their PISTOLS and
begun firing. The general opinion
of by ISLANDERS is that Capt. Fitzger.

most instantly thereafter. After
the firing was over, and the parties
had been arrested, it was discover
ed that Mr.. Muh had received a Sc
rious, we trust not dangerous,
wound /; and that MIR. Thomas Fite,
q young gentleman very much be-
loved in our community, and who
was in no way connected with the
difficulty, had also received a pain
tut wound in the leg. File was in
company with Mr.. Muh at the time,
and owing to some distractions on
the side walk had fallen behind Mr..
Muh before they met Capt. F., and
had not regained his position by Mr..
Ms side, this threw bin i,nmedi-
ateIy 10 the line of the firing. 1t is
much to he regretted that young
gentlemen raised in the same com
munity, should permit their dlsa-
greements to come to such u deadly
issue, thereby causing their rela-
tives aud mutual friends much pain
aud trouble. There is much regret
that they res0rted to pistols to set
tie their dissgreements. and general
that neither were killed.

The Final Award.
THE FINAL AWARD.

THE FINAL AWARD.
GENEVA, Sept. 14.-The Court of
Arbitrators met at 124 o'clock this
afternoon, the delay in the arrival
of Sir Alexander Cockburn and
Tenterilen having prevented 10 as
sembling at IL M, the usual hour.
The Ave arbitrator, the agents of
the respective governments, several
of the counsels, twelve ladies and
journalists were present.
Count Sclopis. President of the
Court, read the arguments of the
arbitrator concurring in the decis-
ion of the tribunal, aud announced
that the sum awarded to the United
States was Gle, SOC, 900, gold.
Sir Alexander Cock burn refused
to sign the decision of the tribunal.
Count Sclopis was applaudetl
when he concluded.
After the adjournment of the
court, twenty two guns were fired in
honor of closing its labOrs.
The English representatives leave
Geneva Monday, and the Ameri.
cans Tuesday.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA tele-
gram received at the State Depart
ment from Mr.. Davis, agent of the
United States, says that the next of
the award of the arbitrators at Ge-
neva has been publicly announced
there. The United States receive a
gross sum of el5. 800, 900 for losses
susJained by the acts of the Ala
bama, Florida and Shenandoah af-
ter leaving Melbourne.
LONDON, Sept 1.-The Times in
an editorial on the result of the la
bOrs Of the Geneva Tribunal says
:. While England has been held re-
sponsible for the depredations OF
several Confederate cruisers, we yet
retain the conviction that morally
she is not to blame. The United
States Government claimed DAM
ages for Losses caused by a dozen
veseels, but the court of arbitration
held England liable unanimously
only in the case Of one vessel. This
is plain evidence of the belief in
the genuineness of Our neutrality
during the war in the United States,
aud dieproves the f1agrantly unjust
of unfi iendlfness in the
American case presepted at Gene
va. We cheerfnlly consent to pay
the sum awarded as tending to Oh
viate similar difficulties in future"

Ex.speaker Alvord On a High Hors,

Ex-speaker Alvord On a High Horse.
Ex-Speaker Alvord rose to q question Of
privilege in the House of Assembly last
buke to Colonel Rush G. Hawkins, who. IL
will be remembered, assailed the surround
ings of Mr.. Alvord In the contest for the
Speakership in the republican caucus. Mr..
Alvord refused to accept the chairmanship
of the Committee Of Ways and Means
the Speaker that the position had
not been rendered him out OF
parliamentary courtesy, but in consideration
Of his fitness to fill it. The Speaker having
made such a statement, Mr.. Alvord accepted,
but not until he had afforded himself the graft
fication of rebuke to Colonel Hawkins and
a vindication of his own official integrity.
Mr.. Alvord misunderstands the objection
made to his candidacy for the Speakers chair.
There was no question during the canvass Of
his personal honesty. His own record might
have been as spotless as the snow-and
we believe that no person who knows
him believes him to be individually cor
rupt-but 1t Is notorious That ne was
surrounded by dangerous and unscrupulous
men, who clamored for his success, and the
whole army of lobbyists and rings was at his
back. His election would have been their
triumph, and he could scarcely have hoped to
shake himself clear Of their influences if they
had succeeded in placing him in the Speakers
chair. He should now content himself with
his position on the floor, and should be glad
that he has escaped the dangers and RESPONSE
bties of the office he sought, and to which
he could only have been elected by such infu-
ences as we have named. II ne IS wise ne
will not suffer disappointment to lead him INTO
opposition to needed measures OF REFORM ana
thus lend himself as member to the designs
of the corrupt men who were 30 eager to make
him Speaker.

JsRsRY ALL RreuT.-Governor Randolph
yesterday delivered his last message to the
Legislature Of New Jersey. From the fnan-
cial exhibit the State Is in very nourisbing
condition. In regard to the State tax on rail-
roads the Governor says s:-"Over one-half Of
the entire receipts Of the State fund come
from imposts put upon two railway companies.
There is so manifest an inequality In the ope-
ration of the laws under which revenue to the
State Is levied from its railway corporations
that thorough revision of them is recon-
mended." This railroad tax, II so happens, Is
chiefly levied upon the passenger traffic be-
tween this city and Philadelphia, our citizens
doing their share towards relieving the Jer-
SeyEep Of the burden Of local taxation.

startling revelations will be made regarding
the French military system during the late war

the military system Of France previous to that
war o. the finest 10 the world. Opinion. how.

ideas also must be considerably altered. II

weaknesses, DEFICIENCIES and drawbacks Of the
