Slightly Inconsistent.

Some political antiquarian, says
the St. Louis Republican, has been
delving among the files Of Harper's
Weekly for 1864, and found under
date of March 26, that year, the fol-
lowing excellent editorial sentiment
Military heroes, however pure,
however single hearted, however no.

Before this issue goes to the read
era of the STAR the editor-in-chief
will have returned 70 his post, and the
pro iems., who have done their best
to fill his place during the past two
weeks, will have retired to the
shades of private life. In our re-
tirement we will have the sweet con-
seriousness to know that during his
absence we have not defrauded the
editor of one single watermelon,
muskmelon, or melon of any other
name and as for jugs Of cider
well, if the only use to which jugs
we're put was to send cider to these
pro TENS, the manufacture Of that
article would cease instanter, as the
lawyers say, for the jug business
wouldn't pay one cent on the mil
lion.

Rich Developments of Precious
Stones and Metals from Arizona
and New Mexico.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10,-A
Los Angeles dispatch announces the
arrival there of the Todd party,
with Prof. Glass, of the Geolo gical
Expedition, from Arizona and New
Mexico. They have one thousand
pounds of specimen gold, silver and
other ores, and several pints of
precious and doubtful stones, found
during their journey from Fort
Wayne to albuquerque, and on the
borders of Arizona, in what are
called the Ant Hills, the precious
stones were discovered on the sur
face. They have the genuine rubies,
the specimens ranging from a large
pea downward. The diamonds, if
any, are small and of little value.
The party found rich gold and silver
bearing quartz near Fort Wingate
The party also claim to have discov-
cred and located flowing oil springs
that will yield from seventy to one
hundred barrels a day. They will
not divulge their precise location
In old mounds and ruins of ancien
cities they found re lies of tools, pot
terry and woven cloth c centuries old
The party is not sanguine as to tn
diamond discoveries. Three pint
of their best stones will be testec
and exhibited. They suffered pri
vations on the road, and narrowl..
escaped perishing while crossing tn
Colorado desert. The diamond ex
citement in San Francisco is subsi

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRIBUYEI
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 9.-Gen. w. +. Bartlett
OF Plttsfeld one of the most gallant of the fighting
soldiers In the war; sends communication to The
Republican concerning statement that he was q
candidate for delegate to the Philadelphia Conven-
tion, and would go for Grant He declares himself
as follows:
AS had some time previous TO the date Of the above
article declined to allow the OF name, cannot
suppose that the selection would be approved. But 1t
seems to only the part Of candor to declare that
while am fattered TO learn that my name has been
considered in connection with distinguished posi-
tion am not to be counted on to "go for Grant," II
that means as fear 1t does, blind allegiance to the
group Of politicians under whose control Gen. Grant has
unfortunately placed himself and whose solcitude seems
to be greater for the Republican party than for the
welfare Of the country. But I am willing, as know
thousands OF other good soldiers and good Republicans
now counted go for Grant, and good men OF all
parties are waiting, for the nomination OF man whose
administration shall be above suspicion not ABOVE IN
yesgaton who he used abused by any set OF
selfish politicians of any party who will illustrate inc
true meaning OF "Civil Service Reform" by benehtrng
and enriching the nation and not the individual whose
ability as statesman is balanced by his integrity as
man, whose great services to his country IN
the darkest DAYS Of our civil war, when single
handed at the English Court he stemmed the tide OF
foreign Intervention with skill and fearlessness unsur
passed can never be forgotten by those to whom the
honor Of their country is as dear her success whose
name is Charles Francis Adams and whom, if the Cn
cnnati Convention shall have the wisdom to nominate
the people will have the independence TO elect.
