Arrangements having been made for

man, and A. Fiummcrfcli secretary. At
ter opening song, Hon. IL. l.. Jones, o,
Saline county, being introduced, made
few remarks on the social advantages OF
the farmer that with three fifths OF the
population and tEree-fourths OF the
wealth Of the nation, they could accom-
plish anything tor which they NIGH,
strive; that having the numerical, moral
and material strength tho only thing
needed was united action that it they
would unite socially, rs the present
gathering indicated, that united action
in all clso was certain.
Hon. Jerry Dean, Of Mcpherson
county, was introduced. He reviewed
the past, or man in his primeval state,
and compared agricultural with all 9TH
or interests, and noted the progress
of each. He claimed that the only rea-
son that other classes had gained the
advantage of farmers socially and finan.
clalIy was by thorough organization ;
that they had become alive to their inter-
ests and that the Patrons Of Husbandry
had sprung from necessity that farmers
were becoming = theughiul people and
were undermining class Of men that
by trickcry bad ccumulated wealth and
had become mon VI leisure; he denied
that the order was a political Orsaniza-
ton; the members have political rights,
also scmc grievances to redress, but
that these were MINOR questions III the
the order that justice was all they claim
ed and all they demanded.
The chairman then announced thai
the basket part Of the programme would
be performed, which all seemed ready to
do. After psrtaking of a hearty rcpas,
and considerable swinging in ths laac,
II. l.. Jones rciook the stand and OK
planned the objects Of the order of the
PATRONS Of Husbandry; who were its
cnemics, etc, giving middle men and
those who make their living by their
wits, some hard rubs.

any other state in the Union: If we
could soivc tho transportation question
via New Orleans. He also favored Mr..
Saylor's bill on Patent Rights.

very pointed-and yet with great re-
spcct TO all other interests.

Mons FLuSKEYs.-One OF thel consid-
erations which were urged upon the Dis
trio, Investigation Committee. to induce
it not to censurs the officials implicated
in the frauds. was that the reproof would
reflect on the President, as the offending
officers were his appointees. Could
iiekspitiIeism and funkeyism go further
than that. II this rule were adopted not
an official rascal could be reached, Tor
the President appoints the most of them.
A strange idea is it not that, that crimi-
mails should not be punished because il
would be reflection on the President.
If it is not, it ought to be, and might
teach him to be more careful as to whom
he appoints to office. II a few reflections
of that kind had occurred heretofore, the
country might have been spared the in
Fiction of Richardson's rulings as a
Judge.

the important issue tried here some
months ago as to the right OF the author
tiles of this city to arrest and punish
limited States soldiers for violation OF
the municipal ordinances, instructions
have been just received from the Bureau
of Military Justice, and approved by
Judge Advocate Holt, addressed to Gen
Morrow, Camp Douglas, to the effect
that hereafter no arrest Of soldiers by
the CITY authorities will be considered
legal, unless voluntarily surrendered up
on application, the sufficieney OF which
General Morrow must be the Judge
alone in the event of arrest, otherwise II
will be the duty of General Morrow to
liberate and return to his command the
soldier arrested, and in so doing he VIII
be sustained and supported. The ques-
ton hinged on the violating known laws
of the land, which the Judge Advocate
decides to be laws of States on Terrific
RES, not city ordinances. The origin OF
this case was the malicious brutality OF
the Mormon police upon the most frivi-
lous pretext towards United States sol
diers on leave from Camp Douglas.

The Belmont Courier OF May 80, re.
ports the following rich strike: A wonder.
full strike was made in the Prussian
South mine, Prussian Company, Jeffer.
son Canyon, on Wednesday last, which
created considerable excitement. In the
incline shaft, at depth of $50 feet. a
body OF ore was struck that excels in
richness anything ever before encount.
cred in any mine in the State. A small
quantity of ore was sent over from the
mine to this place, an assay of which was
made by Samuel McMasters, Superin.
tendent of the Monitor Belmont mine
that yielded at the rate of $40, 307 81
per ton. At this rate of yield the ore is
considerably more than one-half silver
1t is similar in character to the Comstoch
vein. Although we are not fortunate
enough to own any of the property, it is
nevertheless gratifying to know that thu
entire location is owned by two worthy
men-Stephen Roberts and George Viii

We took ride this morning to the
North Carson mine and the Eagle Valley
copper mine. The ledge at the copper
mine is at least twenty feet wide, and in
our opinion the whole hillside is one vast
bed of copper ore. The average ore will
pay S120 per ton, ordinary mill process.
The carbonate ore is entirely free from
iron, a thing very unusual in copper ore.
Work on the Eagle Valley mine is being
pushed, and in few days the company
will ship ore to the acid works for reduc-
ton. In the North Carson, the miners
have cnt through several strata of ore that
are evidently spurs from the main ledge.
The blue clay and decomposed quartz in
these spurs is precisely like that found
on the Comstock, and assays $50 to the
ton. We have every reason to believe
that the North Carson mine is equal to
any in Storey county, and we look with
confidence to Eagle Valley being in one
year from this time recognized as one Of
the best mining localities in the State

cutting too close to a bluff thirty feet
high, he and his team slid of, falling on
pile of powders, killing the horses
instantly. He never spoke word after

Considerable business depression Is also

proving fatal, both being children. The
