AN ENCOURAGING SIGHT.
From tho St. Charlie, Cosmos, February

From tho St. Charles Cosmos, February 2s.l
Among the delegates to the Repub.
llcan State Convention at Jefferson
City, last week, was Major N. G.
Kouns, of Fulton-a rebel soldier who
went in at tho beginning and fought
valiantly until the surrender Of Lee.
He Is o representative man Of that
large class OF intelligent, thinking men
who went into the rebellion to con-
tend for a principle, and who, now
that "wild wars deadly blast Is Ger"
are seeming to % shape affairs as to
secure as quickly as possible the bless
ing of peace and fraternity to all parts
Of the country.
Naturally no finds nothing to attract
him in modern Democracy, the lead,
ers Of which, while always swearing
they had no sympathy with the rebel:
lion, were always seeking to boost
themselves up by the aid Of those who
did sympathize with the rebellion.
Looking to the Republican party, how
ever, he finds universal amnesty and
equal rights for all inscribed upon Its
banners, and he unhesitatingly takes
his place In Its ranks.
Other rebel soldiers are doing the
same thing, and the day is not distant,
we hope, when a majority Of the more
intelligent of our late foes will join us
In pushing forward that true Republl-
canIsm which, "with malice toward
none, with charity for ALL" seeks only
to accomplish that which will rebound
to the lasting peace and prosperity OF
our common country.

SALT lake ITEMS.
From The Salt Lake Herald Of Fhday.I

from the Salt Lake Herald Of Fnday.1
The Illinois tunnel workers have
within a few days struck a large body
of fine ore.
One Of the heaviest storms of the
season occurred yesterday in Davis
county, between Ogden and Centre
Vile. The telegraph poles were pros
trated In several places by It.
|. Yesterday William Van attacked
Thomas Cunnington on Third South
street, while the latter was driving q
team, and beat him about the head
with a pistol ina most brutal manner.
Cunnington Is a harmless, inofensive
man, slightly deficient In the upper
story, and so far as we can learn, the
attack was as unprovoked as 1t was
savage.
The Little Cottonwooders are much
~gratified with the returns fast coming
In from the various mines; they far
exceed the most extravagant notions
entertained by the most sanguine OF
the old miners. The estimates made
last week show that outside Of the
Emma. Flagstaff, Davenport, Yelling
ton, Lexington, Montezuma and Saw
age, the amounts extracted and ready
for shipment, as soon as the snow
affords an opportunity, Will reach
some 16, 200.
Wa learn that on the Mammoth cop
per mine, Tintic district, Mr.. Meader
has as largo a force Of men as can be
advantageously worked, and that here
after the ore will be regularly shipped.
Mr.. Thompson informs US that the pop
ulation Of the district Ia fast increasing,
and that everything wears a busy as
pect. The mines Of the Eureka COM
pany are In fine condition and capable
Of yielding u largo amount Of ore, but
work Is still delayed by the non-arrival
Of machinery for the company's MILL.

MRS, o'lElRY'S TAX.
From the Chicago Journal, March 18th

From the Chicago Journal, March 2sth.l
On Saturday last Mrs. Catherine
O'Leary entered the City Collectors
office for the purpose of paying the tax
upon the lot where originated the fire
that should be spelled with a capital F.
The assessment upon the property was
$40, but in consideration Of the distin-
guished greatness thrust upon Chicago
BY the hind leg of the lady's COW, and,
under the operations of the rebate act,
a deduction of 81 was made. Some
facetious clerk in the office Of the Com
missioner of Taxes had illuminated
the lady's rebate paper. He drew the
COW with the crumpled heel that shat
tered the lamp. A life-like expression
was given to the heel, which, Mrs.
O'Leary declared, was just such m
other heel us the poor dead-and-gone
cow herself had. The lady herself
was represented like the mother OF
Priam when Troy was burning. She
ran barefoot up and down, threatening
the flames and wearing a blanket In
the alarm Of fear caught up. If 1t
hadn't been for Mrs. Leary's diStin-
guished animal the Board Of Rebate
would never have been In existence,
and it is thought that they would have
done nothing more than q generous &C
tlon to have related the tax altogether.

SCHEll CREEK MINING SALES.

The silver mine known as Ell Cap
itan, situated ON Queen Springs Noun
tain. Schell Creek District, Nevada,
has Just been sold by Archie Mcdonald
and others to C. A. Low, Of San Fran
cisco, for $55,000. The district was
discovered late last season, and owing
to the heavy snow which still cover
the ground there, but little beyond
mere surface prospecting has yet been
done, but a large amount Of ore of a
high grade, mostly antimonial sui
phurets, readily worked by common
milling process, has been found, and
practical miners speak highly Of the
prospects of the district. Another
mine, known as the WOODBURY., sit
uated twelve miles north Of Shelburn-
which Is the principal camp in the dis
trict-has recently been sold for $40, 600
to q party of military men residing In
Washington, D.. G. The deepest shaft
yet sunk In the district is only eighty
feet.

The Republican party isand always
has been the friend Of Legitimate State
rights, but not Of State wrongs. It con-
siden sovereignty as residing in the
general government, whose jurisdiction
includes all matters Of a general or
national character, and whose duty Is
to see that the citizen enjoys his rights
everywhere. The States have jurisdic-
ton over all local or State matters,
but are not permitted to neglect or tres
pas on the rights Of the citizens as re-
cognlzed By the Federal Constitution.
mol to adopt anything but Republic
can form Of government, which the
General Government Is constitution
ally bound to secure to the citizens OF
the State. The position Of the Repub-
llcan party was clearly defined In the
platform Of 1880:
"That the maintenance i~nviolate OF
the rights Of the States, and especially
the right Of each State to order and
control its own domestic institutions
according to Its own judgment exclu-
sively, 10 essential to that balance Of
powers on which the perfection and en-
DURANGO Of our political fabric de-
pends."
OF course, this means exclusive con-
troll within the limits Of the Constitu-
ton. The positions Of the two parties
may DO briefly and correctly stated, as
follows: Rspublicani,m and State
Rights VS.. Democracy and State Sow
erelgnty /; or Republicanism and Union
vs.. Democracy and Dlsnnion.

THE PRISONERS INTERVIEWED.

From the White Pine News Of Thursday
The three men arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Nicholson, ut Hercules Gap.
and turned over to the are OF Sheriff
Patterson, were securely ironed Tues
day afternoon. We were present and
witnessed the operation, and also In
terviewed the boys. The first one ex-
amined was a young man about 26
years of age, rather good looking, and
showing determination In his counten-
ance. Although he gave the name OF
Dixon, he fills the bill as Burke. When
asked IL he had ever lived In Texas, he
promptly denied ever having been
there. He did not appear to be dis
posed to converse, she we next turned
our attention to Frank Clifford, who
was sent to the p%enitentiary from
Hamilton, for cattle stealing, about
two years ago. He Is a good appear
ing man ; has a well-shaped head, and
might have made an average preacher
II he had received theological training
in early youth. With all, we would
Judge him to be a hard man to get
away with If he got excited. He
showed a disposition to cultivate our
acquaintance, and talked freely Of the
hardships encountered since his depar-
ture from Denver's Hotel, at Carson.
Take him, az he appeared in the cell,
he Is a very sociable American bandit.
George Roth was the last interviewed.
He formerly lived on Treasure Hill,
and afterward turned up at Reno. He
Is a short, light-haired German ; has
an honest-looking co%untenance. and
would be the last man we would take
for a desperate or robber. He has
good conversational powers, and was
disposed to answer any question pro-
pounded to him. All three of the pris-
oners look as though they had expert
enced hard times and lived on short
rations. The probability is they would
have made q fight before being arres-
ted had they not have been worn out
from travelling, day and night, after
leaving the Palisade road.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK PRISON.

On Tuesday night, says the Salt
Lake Herald of April 4th, we learn
that an attempt was made to break
prison at Camp Douglas by certain
parties confined there. Charles Bur.
ger. who was arrested on the 10th Of
January, for robbing John loves boot
shop, and was committed for trial,
aided, It Is said, by big Steve" and
c. W. Baker-the latter the individual
who swore so numerously and pecu-
liarly concerning the Robinson case,
and is now awaiting the action Of a
grand jury on the charge Of perjury
were the parties who tried to escape.
They dug a hole, through which an
outlet was to DO gained, and Burger
SO through, but big Steve" being
Of wider build. stuck fast and pre-
vented Baker from escaping as well as
himself. They were both secured, but
Burger got of.
