GIDEON WELLEs, Secretary OF the
Navy, under Lincoln, has replied to
Charles Francis Adams statements
concerning Lincoln aud Seward, in
his Grafton upon the latter. Mr..
Welles makes some startling develop
! meuis, if true.
We cannot have the utmost conf
dence in Mr. Wcllc 5, and we think he
has travelled outside the record in de-
Tense of Mr.. Lincoln TO attack Sew
ard. True, he gives us evidence of
the indcpendaut aud controlling action
of Lincoln, showing what every UNI
biased and honest mind knows, that
Mr.. Lincoln was as pre-emincntly The
President during his term of service
as any man who ever occupied the Ex-
ecutive chair
We regret. however,th that Mr.. Welles'
line OF argument should have leaned
! strongly into an attack upon Mr..
Seward.
Mr.. Adams attempt to belittle Pres

eminent a man as he was. will make

Pathetic Swindle.

The newest swindling dodge" is
described as follows by the New York
Grocer:
David Engle writes a letter explain
ing that he bought 1000 yards OF silk
from q man who stole It at tho Boston
fire, which he proposed to take out
West and sell but he had fallen sick.

from his brother In Cuba to redeem 1t,
but now tile pawnbroker exacted $l0

to be stolen II It were offered for sale
by the party TO whom the letter Is ad-
dressed; Engle therefore offers to sell
him the silk for 25 cents per yard, pay
able In quarterly installments, 80
that he may have something to live
on ;" and inclo,es what purports to be
the pawn ticket. The honest soul re-
ceiving the letter wrestles in spirit
over the proposition concludes thGt If
he does not close with the offer some
body else will; soiemnly determines
that duty to his wife and children de-
mands that he secure the profit offered /;
resolves to devote 10 per cent. OF the
net proceeds to his church; sends the
amount called for, together with the
pawn ticket, to the address printed on
the letter; and awaits the receipt of
the goods with that tranquility OF mind
which arises from the Consciousness Of
q painful duty unfalteringly dis
charged. Several hundred country
sto~rekeepers are still awaiting the ar
rival Of those silks, and the exhila-
rating Inference follows that the inge-
nious Mr.. Engle has protitted some
tens Of thousands Of dollars by his
knowledge of poor human nature.

Mortimer in His Cell.

The Sacramento Record of March
18th, says:
Yesterday afternoon u reporter
visited Charles Mortimer In his coll In
the County Jail, and found him quiet
and disposed to be than usually
communicative. BE complains OF the
bad ventilation Of the cell in which he
IL confined. and says that he thinks It
hard that the little wicket In the door
should be closed o him at night,
thereby d~epriving him OF what little
pure air might DO admitted. AS 1t Is
hardly possible for a full grown man
to make his escape through an orifce
six inches square, his complaint does
not seem unreasonable. He speaks con-
tidently of his hopes Of a new trial and
seems we'll convinced that he can cs-
tablish bis innocence If one Is granted
to him. He speaks warmly Of the evil
dsnce given by Carrie, and denounces
1t in bitter language as a piece OF per-
Jury, made out OF whole cloth. He
says that 1t Is a wrong to him for any
one to accuse him Of any desire to
harm or injure her. In his own words,
"Why, I tell you that | am a hundred
times better ready to die now than that
poor, perjured, demented creature"
He claims that so far from her being
afraid Of him. that she Is indebted to
him for everything she has ; that he
picked her up In San Francisco, desti-
tute and sick, when he had just come
from q long imprisonment, and bis
heart went out warmly to any one In
trouble or distress, and for that reason
to her. He had two or three times
made up his mind to turn over a new
leaf and lead an honest life, but she had
In one way or another prevented him.
He seems weak, aud complains OF want
of good air making him sick, but, con-
sidering all his circumstances, he Is
more cheerful than might be anticipa-
ted. and seemed to brighten up consid-
erably after talking awhile. His coun-
sci, Mr.. benson, is attentive to him,
and will fight his case for him while
he has an inch of ground to stand on.

As WE stated yesterday, the Oakland
(Cal.) incest case Is assuming . very
different aspect from what 1t at first
presented, and now turns out to be a
plain case Of conspiracy concocted by
Robinson. the lover Of the girl. What
his motives were for thus attempting
to put such q damnable blackening
stain upon the character Of Gordon,
the girls father, other than to shield
his wi ~culpability, does not appear.
The girl, however, now openly con-
fesses the foul story to be entirely
false, and that Robinson, and not her
father. Is the only guilty party. Rob
inson Is now in jail and will be tried
for perjury. On account Of her youth

New Silver Discovery.

Some important new discoveries of sill
yer, says the Phoebe Record Of March
14th, has been made In Long Valley
District, about fifty miles south Of Bull
lionville. We have examined q sam
pie of ore from one Of these new
iedges-the Green Monster, which
must not be COMPOUNDED with the Hike
vein OF the same name-and must say
1t 10 one Of the finest specimens of sill
YER ore We " saw. With considera-
BILE chloride Of silver, 1t carries a small
Der centage Of copper, and all the as
saying tests, so far, have run up to the
hundreds per ton, while selected rock
has reached as high as $1,000. The
ledge Is enormous In extent, being
from seven to ten feet wide, and 1t
has been clearly traced two miles and
a half. A shaft has been sunk fifty
feet, and the ore body disclosed at the
bottom Is six feet wide, and IL re-
markedly rich.

Important New Developments.

The developments that are being
made in the eastern part of this dis
trict, says the Phoebe Record Of March
18th, are attracting renewed attention.
Several important strikes have been
made within the last ten days. Mines
which are located ON the fiat OIL the
east side Of Spring Mountain, are de-
veloping wonderfully, the ore being
equal In richness to that taken from
the mines on Panaca Flat, and from
present Indications, the ore bodies will
prove rs large and extensive "a those
Of the famous Raymond and Ely and
Hermes. We venture to say that the
development which will be made with.
In the next sixty days In that part Of
Ely District will create as much ex-
element as did the immense strike
which was made a year and a half ago
In the famous Lightner shaft.

A Curious and Sad Mistake.

The Boston Transcript tells the fol-
lowing: "A grave mistake was made
at the Boston and Albany railway sta
ton In this city upon the arrival Of the
New York and Western train this
morning. In front Of the passenger
exit were two hearscs and accompany
ing carriages awaiting the reception Of
the bodies Of two persons who had
died In distant places, aud were ex-
pected here for the performance Of the
last sad rites and burial in the place OF
their nativity or former residence. The
train entered the station, the door OF
the baggage n was opened, and four
burly policemen, under the direction
Of a lady, transferred q heavy pine
box inclosing a caskst to n of the
hcarses. No time had been lost In
preparations for departure with the
precious freight, tho lady entered her
carriage, which was about to move
away ; when u gentleman with anxi-
ETY. In every feature hurried out Of the
depot, and after glancing hastily up
aud down the long line of hacks APP
preached the hearse containing tho
box with the excited inquiry. what
are you doing with that body?' The
driver was dumbfoundsd, and after
being given to understand that tho In
quirer was really In earnest, he sought
the lady for an explanation. why,
that Is the body of my husband" came
trembling from her lips and heart
when she was brought face to face with
the anxious gentleman. You are
mistaken, madam !; that caskct con-
tains the remains Of my wifen And,
sure enough, upon examination Of the
direction of the cover, the widower
was found to be correct In his asser-
ton, and the widow was informed that
she would be compelled to await the
coming Of another train, as bat one
lifeless passenger was included In the
inventory Of tho baggage car In the
depot"
