The New York correspondent Of the
Augusta ConstitutionaliSt writes: s.There
has been of late decided improvement
IN the political situation. "rhe froth
with which the political campaign was
lnaugurated has blown of, and there is a
settling down 10 hard work which begins
to tell. The discomfort among Demo
Gratis ls rapidly disappearing, and there
IS little inclination to follow the Louis
vile movement. That will do more good
than hurt to Greeley; it will increase and
confirm his Republican support, and
divert fully as many Democrats from
Grant as from him. The big game of
brag which the GRANTEES have been
playing in the last month has led some
OF them into making very foolish bets,
and thus stimulated activity among suoh
friends OF Greeley as needed personal
incentive. The intelligence from Maine
is cheering. Republicans whom meet
admit that in that State they will not
more than 'hold their own, as compared
with last year. This will amount to O
virtual defeat, and makes tho State q
doubtful one in the November contest.
The dofent of Hartranlt for Governor in
PennsylvHnia is also conceded. In fact,
the ebb-tide III the fortunes of the Libo-
,"' I.o'cHoHo' VI WHICH, We n'1'c iatterly
heard 30 much, has ceased, and promises
to be followed by greater food than
before. The power and influence Of
Grants corruption fund seem to have
become exhausted already. and from this
time out, it will be impossible to main
tain the dropping fortunes of that party.
This is according to the evidences whicl.
come within my personal observation.
The malcontents in this CITY, who are
endeavoring to achieve local Office
through an understanding and co-opera-
ton with the supporters of Grant, will
have little influence, and think will
cheat Grant badly"

The MEM POWDERS.

The Grass Valley Union gives the
following description Of the new pow
ders used In minlng:-
The Hercules powder Is a mixture Of
nitro-glyeerinc with common black
powder. Black powder Ia not q great
absorbent Of the nitro-glycerine, only
about 35 per cent. Of the g~iycerineebe-
ing taken up. More than that percen-
tage would make 1t a paste, and be too
dangerous for use. The mixture Of the
two explosives makes a dangerous
compound at best. The black powder
smoke mixed with the gases OF nitro
glycerine makes the compound uli-
pleasant to work with.
The "Lithofracteur" powder IL a
similar one to the Hercules. The lat
ter Is a mixture Of nltro-glycerine with
the Ingredients Of black powder. The
same objections apply to the Lithofrac-
teur rs to the Hercules.
The "Dualin" powder appeared In
the German market. 1t Is made With
nitro-glyeerine and nitrated sawdust.
The powder was used but a very short
time. Works for Its manufacture
built near Berlin, but they were soon
blown up. and have never been rebuilt.
The Dualin Is a very dangerous explo-
sive, a. nitro-glycerine mixed with
wood, or any other vegetable sub
stance, creates heat, aud makes the
compound liable to spontaneous CON-
bustion. The inventor Of this came
from Germany to the United States to
Introduce his powder, and we hear that
a lumber of persons have been killed
By 1t In the Eastern States.
The giant powder, called In Europe
the dynamete, is n mixture Of nitro
glycerine with certain kind Of silesla,
or infusOrial earth, composed of minute
shells, which are so porous that they
absorb the nitro-glycerine largely.
This mixture of nltro-glycerine with
such an absorbent, which makes q dry
and safe powder, was Nobel's great
success. Great strength and almost
absolute safety are secured In this mix

he went around to tho store and un-
locked the door. The dog was vigil

celve how exceeding vigAant that dog

SHOOTING scRAPE At AUSTIN.

From the Reese River Revcil,e OF Wednesday. ]
At the Cosmopolitan Saloon, this
afternoon. Judge Hnpp fred pistol
at MIR. Horace Jones, fortunately not
hitting him or any Que else In the
saloon. Tho difficulty was In conse.
queiice Of the late trial OF the cause OF
w. r. Street vs.. the Lemon Mill and
Mining Company, In which Mr.. Jones
served as a Juror. Judge Hupp being
counsel for the defendants. Mr.. Jones
was approached by Mr.. Hupp, and by
him accused by insinuation Of having
sold himself to the plaintiffs. Mr..
Jones Indignantly denied this, aud
called for nm explanation, when Mr.
Hupp drew u pistol and made the
charge In explicit terms. Mr.. Jones
then struck at him, when the pistol
was fired. The fracas ended In Mr..
Hupp being knocked down and kicked,
and lie would In all probability have
been very severely punished had not
.bystanders interfered. Mr.. Hupp had
been drinking pretty hard all day, and
this we believe Ia the real cause Of the
trouble, for he has no ground on which
10 base so grave a charge IS the ono be
made against Dir. Jones.

From the White Pine Mesa Aay ILL
Yesterday evening. letween y aud z
o'clock, John Muldoon, who lives
south Of the city. near the Big Smoky
mill, male his appearances LII the city
and stated that his wife had SHOT him.
He was taken to DR.. Thomas Office,
and on examination It was found that
he had 4 pistol shot wound In the LEFT
side Of tho neck. DR.. Thoma probed
the wound, but could not find the ball.
He was of the opinion that the ball
took a downward course toward the
spinal column. MuldOon did not sui.
fer much pain during the operation
and apparently did. not regard the
wound as serious. After the wound
was dressed, lie went to HE house on
foot. IL Is difficult to determine where
the ball may. have lodged; but we arg
satisfied TINT the wound heeltouA ana
may have a fatal result. Muldoon
talked freely, although his voice was
husky. and ut times re would have to
stop for an Instant for breath. He
stated that no entered his house, AMI
sat down to the table TO eat his supper:
His wife was there, In an Intoxicated
condition. A few words passed be-
tween them, and she retired 10 the
back room. A few seconds afterward,
he was shot, rs mentioned above. He
stated to US that he did not see the pls-
toll ut the time the shot was fired, but
a, soon rs he was wounded, got UP
and left tho house for the purpose Of
seeking surgical aid. Mrs. Muldoon
was arrested aud lodged In jail. The
officer who made the arrest iptimated
to her that her husband was dead. Al
though partially under the influence OF
liquor, she appeared much affected.
She was told, after being lodged In
Jail, that the wound was not serious,
which had = tendency to revive her
spirits. John Muldoon and wife are
we'll known here, and are represented
to be industrious and honest but coca.
sionally given to drink, which fire.
quently resulted In quarrels. She
stated that the pistol went of acci-
dentally, and that she bad no iuten-
ton of shooting her husband. We
have been Informed BY several parties
that she has been INDUCING freely In
liquor for two or three weeks. A
Colts revolver was found In the house
with one chamber discharged. DR..
Thoma called In DIR. Owens this morn
ing, and, they were to make another
examination of the wound.

sUBsIDrNo.

The Jones-Sharon excitement Is sub
siding In a great measure, more So
however, In San Francisco than here.
A private telegram from San Francisco
last evening. stated that the matter
had been arranged between Jones and
Sharon through the medlumship OF NIL
tual friends, so that there was no fur
Their fear OF a personal collision. We
arc pleasedHto hear this, for such collt-
sion could, at the very bcst, be discred-
table and detrimental to both parties.
But, boxevsr the matter may b set
tied between tho principals, 1t Is not
settled by any means as far As the pub
lie are CONCERNED. A deep earnest
feeling. and firm desire to have
the matter at issue thoroughly investi-
gated, | sfreely~ expressed, and II there
Is anything at all In the damnable
charge. mado il must come out. An
other telegram states that Mr.. Sharon
was amost grossly deceived. lie ut
first would not listen 10 tho foul story,
but wa at length induced to SEQ what
there really was in the solemn assev-
crations Of o'Donnell. The result was
that whenthls man and his reliable wilt
ness came to the test, they were found to
know nothing, and to be simply after
money.I Finding they conld not black
mail Sharon, Hubbell tried Jones, with
a like result. It Is very clearly shown
that O'Donnell was after money, n
that be induced Hubbsil to lend him
self to the foul proposition for The
am filthy consideration. People gen.
sally arc astonlshed that Mr.. Sharon
should not have known and understood
those fellows better. Those men have
nov to answer to the public for what
they have said and done. II they can
not prove what they have stated GRIM
mating others, they stand In the light
Of criminals themselves. They have
expressed too much knowledge Of the
causes Of that dread calamity alto
gesher, and must be made to either
prove their villainous statements or be
branded as willful. malicious, black
mailing liars. No honest man envies
them their situation. The whole foul
story 10 As We have always stated, a
baseless, absurd fabrication. and these
men, who resurrect It at tho present
time merely to make money, are spec
ulating In corpses. They are worse
than graveyard robbers, and should be
punished.
