was well known and beloved by all who knew
him.
Mr.. Samuel Dickson, Proprietor of the old
Callaghan Stand, has found an immense amount
OF the finest specimen of iron ore we have had
the pleasure of seeing on his place, and within
stones throw of the hotel. He is going to as
certain the extent and quality Of his ore beds
soon. This is a rare chance for some of the great
iron men, as he has the prettiest place have
seen in the country and the best location for q
large furnace. A railroad could be built from
his ore banks to intersect the G. s. o. r. at
the MUD Tunnel, )" at a very small cost, as the
line would strike the old temporary track around
the tunnel, at Dunlap's creek where it is already
graded to the Mud Tunnel, and from Dunlap's
creek to his ore banks is not over half mile, and
comparatively level. or graded descent from
the ore banks TO the Railroad.

Pinchback Beginning to GrOwl, Receives
Warming.

The Washington Chronicle Of the
18th, thus gently takes down the pre-
tentions leader Of tho colorcd Radicals
of louisiana:
EX-Lieutcnant Governor Pinchback
was honored with Il dinner by promi-
ncnt colored citizens of Washington
at the residence of Frederick Douglass
an evening or two since, on which &C.
casion the former delivered short nd
dress expressive of his acknowledge
ments. He took occasion to express his
dissatisfaction with the opposition
made byItcpublicans to the recognition
Of Kellogg's administration. In this
matter Republicans have done all that
could be asked Of them. While they
recognize the full force of the judicial
decision made in Louisiana by the
United States and State courts, they
can not shut their eyes to the eNtraor-
binary process by which the Lynch
Board counted in their candidates, any
more than they can remain indifferent
to the us,lrpations and frauds procur-
cd by Warmoth and his bogus boards.
That tho Republicans have II majority
of the popular vote in Louisiana is not
doubted by any one cOnversant with the
facts; but whether they polIcd a ma
jority of the vote, or attempted to do
so, ut the election, is Il fact that the tcs-
timony leaves shroudcd in darkness. 1t
was their misfortune that they could
not secure u fair count of the vote as
returned by the legal officers, and could
not prevent it from remaining in the
unsafe custody of the impeachcd Gov
ernor. We have the fullest conf
dencc in the purpose of the comit-
tee charged with the investigation of
tho matter. They will do what they
belive to be right in the interest of
truth and the cause OF good govern
mcnt. They ought not to be asked to
do more or less. Their instructions
require them to go to the root of the
matter. Ifthcy stop with the decisions
of the courts, and declared their inabil-
ity to GO back of these decisions, they
must report in favor of the Kellogg adj
ministration, whatever may have been
tho facts of the canvass.

chairman of tho Credit NIobilicr Com
mittee, made II long report, rcciting in
detail all the facts in the evidence
against each one of tho members I'M
plicatcd. The Speaker was entirely
eXculpated from all connection in the
matter, he having declined to take any
interest in the Credit Mobilier stock.
In regard to Dawes, Garfield, Kelley;
Bingham and Schotield, the facts in
each case were stated with more or
less severe criticism on their action,
which was contrasted with that Of other
members who were approached under
like circumstances, and also with the
consideration shown by tho letter from
venerable Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
who decided not to take pecuni;ry into
rest in any matter that might come be-
fore him as Il legislator. In regard to
NIessrs. Ame5 and Brooks, their con-
duct was severely reprobatcu, and &c
solutions Of expulsion, i'll reference to
each of them, were reported to tho
House. The report having been
read, further action on it was postpon-
ed till Tuesday next.
In regard to the Senators involved,
the report states that evidence impli
eating them has been sent to thrScnatr
for its action.
