Henry G. Wilson.

From the Sacramento Union we Gull
the following concerning Hon., II. c.
Wilson the Republican nominee Tor
the Vice Presidency.
Henry Wilson is the senior of Mr..
Colfax by eleven years. But his fine
constitution and excellent habits keep
him at the age of sixty still in his in
tellectual prime, aud physically able to
stand up under any amount Of labor.
Brought up to the age OF ID or Is on a
farm in New Hampshire, he went to
Natick, Mass, and learned the trade of
a shoemaker. In 1910, at the age of
28, he was elected to the Honse of Rep
resentatives, where he served for four
years, developing talents for speaking,
and what is much better, for executive
business. After this be served four
years in the State Senate, and was for
two of the four years President Of that
body. In 1852, Wilson became the
Free>soil candidate for Congress, and
failed of election by only 92 votes,
though the party with which he acted
was Z 900 in the minority. He was a
member of the State Constitutional
Convention in 1853 In 1853, and
again in 1854 he ran for Governor of
Massachusetts, on the Free soil ticket,
and each time defeated. The State had
not yet lost its complete loyalty to the
Whiggery, which at that day was quite
conservative on the negro question.
The events in Kansas in 1854 and So
fipened Free-SoiIism in New England
and the Legislature in 1856 elected
Wilson to the United States Senate
ms the successor of Edward Everett, who
resigned his seat He was re elected
to the Senate in 1859. In 1861 he
raised regiment of Massachusetts, vol
unteers (the Twenty-Second) for tn,
war. and was made Colonel of it. HI

The St. Augustine (Fla.) Press fur
nisbes the following:
During the heavy gales which pre-
vailed last fall, the tide on one occasion
was driven so low in the North river
that remarkable discovery was made.
About seven miles north of St. Angus
tine, on the west shore of the North
river, the remains of an ancient city
were discovered. The parties who have
given us the information are ready to
conduct any one who desire it to the
spot. Several wells, walled in with CO.
duina, are now visible under water ;
but the foundations Of the houses can
be only felt with pole. On this occa-
sion of the discovery, Ia gale had prevail.
ed for four or five days from the north
driving the water out of the river to
an extent never before known. Futher
Investigations have also brought to light
cobuina quarry on this same site; and
what is the most remarkable, the quar-
ry is in the midst of dense hammock
and which any one can see row, by
taking the trouble to go there. The
rock is of equality equal to any..onAn'
astasia Island, and the quarry has been
extensively used, doubtless far the pnr
pose OF building this city or settlement
for one or the other it certainly was.
The question which naturally arises
is, by whom was this settlement made
by natives of this continent or Euro

Nor DEAD YET.-It seems that our
historical and fascinating friend, the
great Sea Serpent Snake, is not dead.
He has been seen again, aud this time
by Capt. McTaggart, of the good ship
Kent of Liverpool, on the west coast of
Africa, between Cape Palmas and
Grand Bassa. On the evening previous
enormous shoals of fish of every descrip
tion, including sharks and proposes,
surrounded the ship, and the next
morning his snakeship was seen with
his great head out of water He was
apparently 200 feet long, aud his tail
was like unto the tail of mackerel, and
so was his color like unto the said fish.
He travelled at rapid rate, but kindly
stopped few moments while the cap
tain examined him. 1t is supposed the
fish seen in such numbers the evening
before were fugitives from the jaws OF
this hungry and devouring monster.

peans I All histographers agree that
Ponce de Leon, companion Of Colu m
bus, IN his second voyage, first touched
on this New World at point three
miles north Of ST. Augustine, This
would have brought him within four
miles OF this, city or settlement, which
ever it might have been. Say they, one
and all, "he found the natives fierce aud
implacable." But, at this period
1912 all history is silent, and we hear
nothing more of Florida or of America
until l520--when Narvaez arrived on
the western or gulf coast Who will
solve this mystery? Perhaps it may
throw light on the history of America
hitherto concealed. For let 1t be re-
membercd that ST. Augustine was the
first city settled in America. Our city
is stiled thronged withvisitors. There
may be some among them curious
enough to search into the history Of
their country or, at least, curious
enough to crafty their own curiosity.
There are pleasure boats in plenty in
the harbor. and at this delightful season
we would suggest that trip to the
North river-only seven miles-could
be accomplished in a very short time
wind aud tide favoring-which our
"pleasure yacht feet perfectly com
prehcnd. Who will go to solve this
about which we ourselves desire all the
the information We can obtain?

est man in full sympathy with the com>

polished in his manner, but courteous as
becomes an American citizen, eminent>
ly practical, possessed OF vigorous un-
derstanding, and not at all given to
what is ornate or high sounding aud ex-
travagant in politics. He is the warm
personal friead of Sumner, but probably
40 two Senators were ever less alike in
mentgl idlosyncracies. Sumner is
nothing if not en- extreme theorist and a
sententious speaker. He dresses up his
speeches as tenderly as did Moore his
lyrics, and never dismisses the consider
alton of any subject which has dignity
enough to claim his attention without
searching for all its occult bearings and
impracticabilities. Wilson contents him.

explanation of any subject as will salts

There was throughout its delibera-
tions the very best of good feeling and
harmony in the Republican National
Convention. When Mr.. Colfax received
the ballot for Vice President he imme.
diately sent back word to his friends :
Men are nothing principles every
thing; | cordially indorse the nomina>
tion of Mr.. Wilson for Vice President .
At the same time the Indiana delega-
tion received telegram of thanks from
Mr.. Wilson for the generous manner
in which they had smothered their
personal disappointment aud ratified
the choice of the convention.

APPLEs.-At a recent meeting of

growing over a wide extent of country,

Pile was produced He said of 48 varie.
ties which he had traced, 20 were pro-
duced in North Carolina, and ten in
other Southern States, and the re-
mainder were scattered over the other
States and that these 48 different va
rieties were known in different localities
by 1873 different names; one, the Nick
a-jack, having 38 names. He said Mr..
Finlayson had taken step in the right
direction by planting seeds of the crab,
which was known to be hardy, and by
selecting those which prove to be good
and by co ntinuance of this plan he
thought there could be as good hardy
apples produced here az anywhere; he
spoke of the fact that 20 years ago the
South was destitute of homegrown
winter apples, that the varieties which
were winter fruit when grown in the
North, were summer and fall fruit

Northern nurseries. But by raising
seedlings of their own, the South now

would justify the proposed Boston loan that is
not applicable to the cases we have supposed; but
there are reasons in plenty and obvious enough,
which should dissuade from either.
One of them is, that the principle involved is
identical with that of the French communists
and tends directly TO the abolition of property.
One of the fayorite vagaries adopted from them
by some of the so called labor reformers, is a
project for issuing by the state of an unlimited,
or, at least, indefinite amount of paper money,
and lending the same in sums 10 suit TO all the
citizens. Nobody in the Massachusetts legisla-
ture proposes TO 90 SO far as this, but in passing
the Boston loan bill, if it is passed, they Will be
setting their faces in that direction. Vi
course it will be said, and with reason,
that the people aud legislatures of Massa-
chusetts until they become materially different
from what we have hitherto known them to be,
may be trusted not to follow such path to its
end, but to stop before they arrive at a con-
clusiou so absurd and disastrous. We have
no doubt they would stop before reaching the
end, but they might go far enough to incur evils
greater than any which Boston now suffers or
can suffer through the Withholding of the relief
she asks. Even the first step in that direction
we believe to be dangerous, and hope it will not
be taken.

sad News Of Mr.. Greeley.

dispatch from New York relative to the
physical and mental condition of Horace Gree
ley, will be read with sincere regret. If not
actually insane, he is completely Frustrated and
in a condition of nervous disorder which
closely resembles insanity. One report says he
is actually an inmate of the lunatic asylum at
White Plains. During the last six months, MI
Greeley has been subjected to an amount Of
unusual excitement sufficient to break down any
ordinary man. He has been a candidate for the
presidency under peculiar circumstances, which
brought him hope anxiety, and, finally, very
great disappointment. He has seen his wife
waste away and die; and her death came with
the close of the presidential campaign which
ended so disastrously for his personal hopes
and aspirations 1t is said that while
watching at the deathbed of his wife,
his sleep, for long time, did not average more
than one hour in twenty-four. Excitement and
nervous disturbance would not allow him to
sleep. 1t is not surprising that he is now insane
or nearly So His immediate friends, those who
are in a position TO know most of his actual
condition, say he is in general good health, and
that he needs nothing but "quiet and rest"
They do not allow themselves to recognize in
sanity in the case, and insist that he is "only
nervously Frustrated" The prostration, how
ever, appears to have a serious influence on his
mind, We hope 10 hear soon that quiet and
restare doing for him all that his friends expect.

country to inquire into its commercial i'm

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER go. 1879.

A New York paper speeulates on the ''curious
results" of the voting in that state, on the 9th
of November, but does not take account of all
the facts in the case. 1t finds that the demo-
cratic losses and republican gains are, to large
extent in the cities of New York and Brooklyn.
In 1865, the vote for Seymour, in New York
city, was 1Os,816; in 1872, the vote flor Greeley
is II ,79S 1t is now well understood that more
than $4,000 of the democratic votes, in 1868
were fraudulent. Grant had then more than
10000 majority of the honest vote; but this was
overcome by very extensive Tammany frauds in
New York and Brooklyn. This year, fraudulent
voting was much less successful The whole
vote of the state of New York, in the last two
presidential elections, was as follows:
1868. 1872
Seymour. ........429,Ss 1888 Grant. s04
Grant .4ls,SS8 Greeley .SS7 S57
Seymours maj. 10000 Grants maj,,. IS, AZ
The honest vote for Seymour, in 1868, was
probably not over s95, 900.
