A FALSE NUGGET.

A New York correspondent OF the
Chicago Iiter-Ocedn tells singular
story about bogus nugget represented
to be of California; gold. The owner
whose name Is not mentioncd-had
it weighed and assayed in New York
City. The weight was 2,3l9.75 ounces,
Troy, and the assay gave 1t 4 value OF
$4,000. A loan Of 5000 or $4,000
was obtained OH 1t, to enable Its owner
10 ship It to the Paris Exposition.
When 1t arrived In Paris, the owner
and his certificate OF assay were both
missing. Tho nugget was then sent to
the Bank of, France, which refused to
receive it without knowing Its value.
A second assay was made, much more
thorough than the first. BY cutting
into the body Of the supposed nugget
with a chisel. 1t was discovered that
under the handsome surface of the yell
low gold, through which deceptive
pieces OF white quartz cropped out,
was thin layer OF silver; u"der the
silver, one Of copper; and beneath all
a base lump Of lead! The French
bankers estimated the value Of the
gold coating at about 81, 600. The last
assay at the New York Office shows it
TO have been but $3SS, the weight after
melting having dwindled to l63 ounces,
Troy, and the average tineuess.
The sequel to this story Is the most
curious part Of all. 1t Is told BY the
editor OF the Stockton Repu1lican, as
follows:
IL may not be out Of place to record
what we know Of the nugget above
alluded to. In the Summer Of 1851 or
1865, late one evening. Isaac Elwell, 4
clerk in the house Of Adams & Co., In
Stockton, came to the Republican office,
and stated that Mr.. Noyes, the agent,
desired to see the writer of this article
at the express office. On our arrival,
In company with John Crofton, We
found Noyes. Fred. Cohen, a clerk in
the office, Henry a. Crabb, and two
men dressed in miner's garb, surround
Ing a roll of dirty blankets. After our
entrance Cohen commenced unrollinS,
and soon was presented to view
lump Of gold that appeared to be eight
or nine inches wide, a foot or more
long, and four inches In thickness.
All were astonished at the sight, and
It was placed on platform scale that
stood in the room and weighed. Its
weight was 1925 pounds. The two
men stated that in sinking a shaft, a
few miles from Murphy's Camp, they
had found the nugget, at the close Of 4
hard days work; aud not wishing to
create any excitement they carried 1t
to their cabin, rolled it in blankets,
and took the stage as it passed the next
morning, without disclosing to those
In the neighborhood their good for
tune. The evening we saw the nugget
Of gold In the express office, halt a
dozen OF pieces were cut from 1t, in
various places, with chisel, the one
presented to Mr.. Noyes weighing
more than five dollars, all the purest
quality Of gold. In our presence Noyes
offered the men 100000 for the lump,
which they unhesitatinSly refused.
The next day the miners had box
made, if We mistake not, by L. 5.
Ellsworth, in which to take their
treasure to the Atlantic States. What
became of the wonderful lump of gold
after leaving here we know not, but
that 1t was genuine when brought to
this city there Is no doubt.

which the General Assembly can and
will settle itself, unless it is over
powered by the mob. The question
of the Lieutenant Governorship is one
to be settled by the Senate and the
courts. The existence of the lower
branch of the Legislature is one to be
settled by the members thereof There
met yesterday quorum of the Sen
ate, and no question was raised by
anybody as to the illegality of the
election of the Lieutenant Governor.
There has been quorum in the House

the beginning of the session. Not a

either House in order to make a
quorum. There has not been mem

forces Oh he United States placed at

peace. There is contest as to the
legality of the election of the Lieuten-
ant Governor, and also as to the ek-
