Straw Bids.

The evil of straw-bids at the Post
Office Department, whenever contracts
are to be awarded, having become very
annoying, Postmaster General Jewell
has determined to break up the system.
An examination of the subject has
shown that in large number of cases
those who present such bids are indors-
ed by postmasters as responsible per-
sons. The Postmaster General has
addressed a letter to the postmaster at
Springfield, Massachusetts,, calling his
attention to the fact that he indorsed
the two lowest biders in the stamped
envelope and newspaper-wrapper con-
tract, when on examination they were
found to be irresponsible parties. He
closes his letter by saying; 1.-THE sys-
tenn of straw bidding, as 1t is called,
which is most aided by careless certifi-
Gates Of postmasters, has interfered very
seriously with the proper working Of
this Department, and it is my inten-
ton to tolerate no carelessness or in
efficient disregard of official duties on
the part Of any postmaster, and en-,
brace this opportunity to notify you,
and through you all other postmasters,
to this effect." ."-SSi;o1r CITY Journal.

a Joke On Miss Anthony.

On Thursday, during the proceedings
Of the Woman's Suffrage Association in
Chicago. the following amusing tilt be-
tween Miss Anthony and Hrs. Swiss
helm took place:
Mrs. j. G. Swisshelm next took the
stand. She didn't agree with every
thing Miss Anthony had said. There
were more men willing to give women
the ballot than there were women to ask
it. It had always been her desire to
Get a law emitting tax-paying women to
vote, but they had objected. If it was
in her power to give all the women Of
the country the franchise to morrow,
/ she would not speak the word. She be-
Ilieved in enfranchising few at a time
on special subjects IN which they were
interested. In her opinion the suffra
| gists asked too much. They had drawn
| their bow at the sun, and may probably
hit the moon. The speaker liked men
better than she did women. The women
hadn't asked for the franchise rightly;
If they had it would have been granted
FIf they would not declare that they
would not pay taxes unless permitted
to vote, but would just ask for the right
| to vote every time that they pay their
taxes, they would be more likely to have
the, privilege accorded them. If the
women would only sit down by the side
! of the men-they might even.sit on one
oftheir knees-and ask for their rights,
they would be more likely to receive
them. This was followed by uproarious
applause, Miss Anthony hiding her face,
evidently reminded Of the little Brook
ilyn episode. Mrs. Swlssnelm went on
to say that she understood men better
than did Miss Anthony, and, further
more, she knew more about them than
did her colleague, with whom She al
ways felt privileged to disagree.
|. Miss Anthony replied to Mrs. Swiss
helm, and remarked that they had. al
ways entertained opposite opinions, and
there was no probability of either one
converting the other. She was not con-
tent to receive her protection from the
male portion Of the community; she
wanted to he at the mercy of herself
She was earnest in this matter, because
she felt that the position at present oc-
5cupied by woman was an insult and a
degradation to her position in society.

Count Won Arnin, one of thA ablest

he received from him while Ambassador

was afraid of the effect which th.t

if produced. The publication of Bis

to advance the interests Of the OPposi.

the Chancellor sent four policemen and

BLACK HILLS.
A Route Beset with Dangers on
r. @ Every Hand.

The TRIBUNE has repeatedly warned
people about seeking to enter the Black
Hills from the south, as they would be
compelled to pass through country
swarming with Indians, and bcset with
dangers on every hand. Below will be
found an article clipped from the last
Sioux City Journal in which is de-
tailed the troubles of Frank Stone and
party. The Yankton party alluded to
consisted of seven, one of whom was
killed, one mortally wounded, and the
remainder bruised and wounded as
represented. ,. ~ a. sss
No such dangers as this will beset
those who 60 to the Black Hills via Bis
marck, for they will pass many miles
north of the agencies and over neutral
ground. -. .-.... .:.-.. I'D
The article from the Journal is as
follows, viz: 3.,-... +~.z
F. W. Stone, young gentleman from
New York city, came here on the 10th
of September, and on the 18th he, IN
company with two other plucky young
fellows whom he fell in with here, start
ed out with mule team, we'll provis-
ioned and we'll armed, for the Black
Hills. Mr.. Stones party has returned.
He informs us that he went within. fifty
miles Of the Black Hills, and could have
gone further had he been so inclined,
But under existing circumstances the
party concluded it would be policy to
return. They saw Indians every. few
days, and sometimes the reds made It
rather unpleasant for the boys, as they
would hover about them in such uncom-
fortablY close proximity as to interrupt
their, forward march and compel the
party to throw themselves into a defen;;
sive attitude. Mr.. Stone says that the
Indians never attacked them during the
night time, and this he attributes to the
fact that he had with him two very large
bounds that would scent the Indians
.afar off, and would keep up a deep bay
ing while they we're in the vicinity OF
the camp. =. ..z... .-.~... ~ -.
! Mr.. Stone and his companions we're
within two and a half miles Of the scene
of the fight between the Brule Indians
and the Yankton party, and saw the
EYankton boys after they got back home.
They presented an altogether demoral-
lied appearance, and every one Of them
bore some wound or bruise received in
the engagement. ..-....-........, ri.
While Mr.. Stones party were at Mo
brara. on their return trip, runners
came in from Red Clouds camp and re-,
ported about 5000 warriers concentrat,.
ed at that camp, with nearly double
that number at Spotted Tails Agency,
all of whom were apparently equipped
for service, and it was believed that
they intended to make trouble for the
expedition. pa, ties now scattered
through that country, on their way into

After che Indians fired on the West
ern, near Fort Peck, they succeeded in
stealing from the whar fseveral thousand
rounds of ammunition, whereupon the
agent refused them their annuities un-
til the stolen ammunition was returned.
They returned the ammunition and re-
ported that they had ''seldiered" those
who stole it.. That is to say they had
shot their ponies and whipped them
and made good Indians of them. The
agent then gave them their tea and su-
gar, and they were again happy.

Several plans are urged, all of which are
represented as feasible and as amply sutli-

done her part in SO disposing her resources

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.

HOFFMAN MINE, July ID, 1874
A few weeks ago / wrote a small article
to your paper of u certain change in IIotf-
man mine by the introduction of a locomo-
tive down the Slope, and the prospects of
increase of work which has been fully real
lied
Not very long ago some of our Georges
Creek all-knowing ones were positive that
locomotive could not possibly be kept
working more than week at time in any
mine and to do the full amount Ofwork, for
the following reason: That, with the heat
and smoke of the engine it would be imposs-
ible to have air enough.
Now we have an every days proofto the
contrary. In the same bank, Pompcy and
Hoffman, two engines are being worked
days and weeks in succession, and not
particle of smoke to injure or prevent any
miner from doing the full amount Of work
required of him. Through the able man
agement and well devised plans of Joseph
B. Thomas Esq, we are supplied with an
ample current of air. Now, when there are
nearly four hundred miners ready to
testify to the above facts all the world
may rely on its truthfulness.
In the early part of the spring Mr..
Thomas caused an air-shaft to be sunk and
had flue and furnace built, by which the
miners in all parts of the mine are able to
obtain pure air while at work at the dis
lance of two miles and a half from the open
ing
The usual daily number of trips of the
engines are as follows: The Ant" nine,
and the Mole twelve, bringing the full
amount of loaded cars allotted to them, and
the number of tons of coal according to or
der, say from eleven to thirteen hundred
tons per day.
But last week was one worthy Of note
and weeks work that will be kept IN me-
moriam as long as ,herc will be a miner in
Frostburg and vicinity, viz: Through the
suspension of work On the G. 4 p. X. r.,
the demand for coal became overwhelming
at Pompey and Hoffman, and Mr.. Thomas,
not being ready to yield without q fair trial,
caused all employed to use their energy and
vigor, the result of which was. the mining
hauling, weighing, and shipping of nearly
eleven thousand tons of coal during the
week ending Saturday, July 18th. On Fri
day alone were mined and shipped two
thousand and forty six tons of coal from
those two mines, which is more work than
has ever been turned out in any part of the
coal regions of Allegany County, So say
-"Bravissimo" for locomotive enterprises
down in the coal mines"
Now as | draw to close would say to
the Mcssrs Thomas when they have any
other improvements to introduce in mining
coal and its connections, it is the heartfelt
desire of the writer to see them succeed
and prosper as has their underground loco
motive enterprise at Pompey Smash and
Hoffman mines. Don QUIXorE.
