discoveries have been made at Muscle-

river above Bismarck, near Carol, and
Carol is now nearly deserted for the
mines, which are said to yield from one
to seven cents to the pan.
Copper discoveries have also been

once in the hills, can live as red men
live, and consequently will not
bother themselves with supplies
to any great extent. A few more men
are wanted to complete the party.
They will be gone until January, when
they expect to return and report.

the Butlerian system and theories will result
in driving him into the Democratic party
where he belongs. Already Tammany Hall
is coquetting with him and before the fourth
OF March, unless all signs fail, he will be in
open hostility to President Grant and the Re-
publican party and we shall be relieved of the
greatest incubus we have ever borne. But
even Butler has had the support Of few of
the most "reliable" papers. 1t is permitted
to fond mothers to dote on the very deformi-
ties of their offspring, anG deluded lovers are
enraptured with that which to others seems
most unsightly. Court journalists have the
same hallucination and toy with the most
obvious defects of Republican idiots and mon
sters as admiringly as the dainty Titania did
with the characteristic features of the as:nine
Bottom. Though we claim in general TO be
sound we must for the present be excused
from going the whole figure. 1t will be seen
that we are orthodox according TO the broad
standard of the Apostles creed, but when it
comes to the details of the Westminster cate
chism we may very likely be found now and
then among the scoffers.
This is the only true version of our con-
fessions. If the Wing will grant absolrtion,
so. If not, as says Falstaff, ''God help the
wicked" We will submit to any reasonable
penance except that of reading the address of
the Republican Congressional Committee or
one of the mingled griefand anger editorials
of the Wing. Justice should be tempered
with mercy

DISASTER AT NEW ORLEANS.
A Packet Sinks nj her Wharf-Seycral
Lives Lost, ETC., Etc.


New ORLEANS Nov 1.-THE coast packet
Empire, Captain Jeanfreau, sank this morning
at her landing foot of Ocohti street. She ar
rived about 1890 a. m, to-day, heavily loaded
with sugar, molasses, rice, etc. Several pas
ssengers left the boat on her arrival otherwise
the loss of life would have been very large. AS
it is. fourteen passengers and many of her crew
are believed to be drowned.
Capt. Jeanfreau states that the Empire had a
fair cargo. was not overloaded and that her
guards were we'll above water. AT the time of
her sinking he was awakened by the great noise
and confusion. He caught one of his children
and swan with it to the shore. On looking
back he saw his wife standing on deck with
her babe in her arms. AS the boat went down
she chung to the wheel-house Of the Bradish
johnson, which stood alongside. but a violent
shock wrenched from her grasp her child, who
fell into the water and was drowned
John Dublin says:-I am mate o. the EN-
pire. Arrived last night about ~ o'clock and
tied up. Went to my room and almost imme-
o'clock heard tremendous crash, and think
ing we had been run into, rushed on deck.
Seeing that she was sinking L shouted for
everybody to get lfe-preservers, and rushed
along forward shouting with all my might so
as to wake all l could. L started for the cabin,
when the boat almost in a seconds time seemed
to sink and was thrown into the water, when
1 swan till 1 caught hold of something and
saved myself.
Eugene Durole, pilot, states that when the
boat sunk he was in his bed. He heard crash
and thought the steamer had been run into.
Ee was thrown into the water and swan to
the wharf. He thinks the boat broke in two,
she sank so suddenly.
Five bodies have been found. The number
lost is uncertain as no one is positive how many
left the boat on her arrival. The boat is said
to be insured for $4,000.

AT Congregational Conference held in
New Haven last week which was attended
by number Of the leading men of that de-
nomination, Rev. DR.. Bacon led off in an
assault upon the creeds of the church. The
learned divine did not declare his disbelief OF
them but asserted that too much was made
of them and men were judged too closely by
them. In brief the only requirements he
would have, tor church membership, were
that the applicant declare his love for, and
faith in, God and live a blameless life. There
was another noticeable feature. Another
leading divine advocated the introduction of
a prayer book into Congregational churches,
and though deacon assailed the proposed
innovation with great vehemence, the confer
ence voted it good thing. We leave COM
ments to others.

leader.-N. Y. Eoening Post.
The Hon. E. B. Washburne has been for
mally nominated for the Presidency by the
Milwaukee Advertiser, as the best choice the
Republicans can make in 1876.
The Boston Herald continues to urge the
Democrats to pass the civil rights bill, which
it thinks "would be a flank movement in poll
tics which would separate the Republican
party from its base of operations and utterly
annihilate it,"
In reference to the early naming of Presi-
Dental candidates, the Chicago Tribune
says: "The Republican party will elect the
next President; that much is as certain as
any future event can be. Whether the
Presidents name will be Washburne, or
Conkling, or Blaine, or Wilson, is a question
for future discussion. An early nomination
will not help man If he is not secure of the
affections and respected Republicans through
out the country; and no one who has these
can afford to wait for the recognition of his
merits at the proper time"
The Detroit Tribune denounces Senator
Chandler and the Republican party for be-
traying the civil service reform, and says
''When we remember that Congressman
Willard of Vermont, after making himself
conspicuous in sincere efforts to secure this
reform, and being defeated for re-nomina-
ton, largely through the exertions of office
holders, still polled over 1900 votes. without
being in any way announced as candidate,
is clear that no party, however strong, can
be successful when it refuses to carry out its
pledges on this questions"

In the safe burglary trial to-day Judge Hum

Under the Congressional joint resolution of
1869, five citizens were appointed to examine
into the condition of the Union and Central
Pacific Railroads, who reported that about
1000 will be necessary to supply the def
ciences of both roads, Secretary Cox at that
time directed the commissioner of the general
land Office to withhold from them one-half the
land grant as security for the supply of the de-
ficiency of the roads,

Gently examined the roads, say that the Union

quently imposed upon. OF course the citizens
of Louisville recollect that when Sherman was
in command of that department he was accused
of insanity. He could not receive any answer
Mrs. Sherman came to Washington and called
upon the President. She stated that for more
than twelve years she had been General Sher-
mans wife, and, if any one was capable of
judging as to the soundness of his mind it
would be herself. She declared that there had
never been the slightest indication of insanity,
though they might drive him to it; that, if he
were insane, she would be the first to withdraw
him from the public gaze, but, SO far from de-
with anything that was difficult, or that was
becoming his rank. Mr.. Lincoln's reply
to this was that "General Sherman's dis
patches were not those of a sane man."
Mrs Sherman was astounded After leaving
the President she went to the War Depart
ment, and requested a copy of her husband
dispatches. After obtaining these she again
called upon the President. When Mr.. Lin.
coin read these papers, he said that they were
him. This was the kind of work that was be.
ing done in the War Department, where we
needed every good officer. and by the light of
to-day we can see how few there were as valua-
BILE as Sherman; and yet the country would
have lost his services if his wife had not been
the brave, determined woman she is. Mr.
Chase took bold stand at that time in saving
Sherman, and l heard General Sherman, at
his daughters wedding, say the most graceful
and felicitous things to Mrs. Sprague personally
and in allusion to her father, knowing that
kind recollections of him would be the sweetest
