The following is an extract from let
ter from. an ex-Secretary of the State of
! Rhode Island, dated Providence
! The camp fires are burning brightly,
| and we expect the State will 90 for Gree
lev and Brown. The Liberal Republicans
are organizing in every town IN the State,
and both conventions are called for the
same day, and the electoral ticket will
| probably be divided equally between the
! two parties. The campaign, so far, re-
minds me more of 1910 th;fl any one |
have passed through for many wears.
| There are a great many changes from
| Grant to Greeley.
John Morrissey is as respectable rs the
man Chamberlain, who is also a gambler,
and who is the personal associate of Gen
eral Grant General Grant accepted from
Chamberlain the gift OF a cottage at Long
Branch, knowing that one object OF the
| Gift was to attract more Visitors to Long
Branch, and consequently more visitors to
Chamberlain's gambling rooms, [Spring

Before the North Carolina election the
Tribune truthfully said: eff Grant is
beaten in that contest, we may consider
the Presidential campaign half finished.
If he is successful, it will only have be-
gum Grant was beaten, and we think
| the prophecy of the Tribune will prove to
| be correct.
In noticing Speaker Blaines letter on
Senator Sumner, the Indianapolis News
| Justly remarks: ellis chief argument is
that Toombs defended Brooks attack upon
Mr.. Sumner, and now Mr. Sumner unites
with him. This is no argument to begin
with; if it were the Christian religion
| could not exist for Il moment"
A prominent gentleman in Southern
Ohio writes that the Greeley ''craze' seri-
ously affects the Republican party in that
part of the State. Some of the bitterest
Radicals say they are tired Of training
with the party of hate any longer, and
are going in for Greeley and peace. He
reports no dissatisfaction in the Demo-
cratic party. Democrats consider either
Greeley or Grant and do not hesitate an
instant as to their duty.
Gen. Dix is pleasant old gentleman.
He has talked about shooting people, but
we never heard of his killing anybody
His fidelity has been proved. The Tribune
says che never deserted party while it

The defeat of John A. Bne ham for re-
nomination for Congress was n cruel blow,
especially after he had, in his Elmyra
speech, defended the nepotism of the
President, and nailed it with scripture,
says the Cincinnati Commercial.
Gen Banks has rendered his services
to the liberal Republican Executive Com
tnI 20, n,,l,
York city on the financial policy of the
administration at an early day.
The Hartford Times says that leading
republicans place the number of liberals
in that state at 5000, and every democrat
is a Greeley man.

Hon. +. A. Pike spoke here last night to
large audience of Democrats and Liberal
Republicans.

The new Aztec Golconda, which is said
to enrich the soil near the head waters of
the Rio Colorado Chiquito, is now attract
ing the eyes of all speculative individuals, |
and if the accounts are true, it will rather |
discount the South African ''find." The |
operations OF the company have been very |
secret hitherto. but it is said that the com
pany now has eleven men employed in
working the mines. 1t has in the Bank Of
California large number of diamonds, a
dozen of which have been cut and about |
four pounds of rubies, sapphires and |
emeralds. They have also one rough |
diamond, weighing 1872 carats. The en-
eralds are said to be of good size, but of
pale color. 1t is claimed that these gems |
were all washed out of one and half |
tons of gravel. The estimated value OF
all is 100000. Some of the sapphires
are as large as pigeons eggs. Several of
the stones have been submitted to Tiffany |
& Co., of New York, by whom they have |
been pronounced of the finest qualify 1t |
is matter of tradition that the Aztecs,
before the time of Cortez, derived large |
supplies of precious stones from the coun-
try north of the ella river. and many |
small gems have been brought from that |
region within the past few years. But no
one ever dreamed of finding boundless
diamond mine right in the heart OF the |
United States.
