ested efforts to cry down the mining

1t pretty severely every day, and the
Alta occasionally deals 1t a square
sockdolagcr, which hits hard. In an
editorial article, yesterday, showing
up the Interested motives OF tho Cal!
In Its m~sndaciou' Misrepresentation
OF our mining interests, and especially
the Crown Point, the Alta says:
There may DO those who believe tina.
the proprietors Of the Cal went to the
expense Of establishing u department
Of the paper out OF pure philanthropy,
to prevent people from buying Crown
Point. II there are such. they want n
guardian OF some kind. But this DO
partmrnt charges the ownership OF the
mine day sncr day, upon the gentle
men who helped the Post, and accuses
them OF wrong doing to deceive the
public ; and when the motive Is de-
teeted, the Call lodges behind Its en-
ploye, and says: ave have net even
known who owned the mines" Yet
the conductor Of the Bulletin openly
boasted to tho proprietor Of the Viz
ginia Enterprise, that they would get
even on John L. Jones for helping the
Post. These sort Of attacks upon
various interests to crafty private
malice, have employed tho Bulletin.

AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL A IRA ILRoAp

A Washington correspondent OF tho
New York Tribune gives some Interest
ing facts which have lately como to
light In relation to repeated attempts
to confscate the line Of railroad be-
tween Danville, Virginia, and Green's
boro, North Carolina, which, says the
correspondent, show that General But
ler's preternatural activities have been
recently employed In this new and I'M
expected field. Following Is the &C
count, rs given In the Tribune;
At the end OF the war. the road. then
known as the Piedmont Railroad, was
seized by the United States officials as
the property OF the Confsderacy. 1t
was at the time In the possession OF
of the Richmond and Danvllle Com
many. which had In 1862 received q
loan Of 81, 900, 600 from the Confeder-
ale Government, Of which 1928, OoO
was In bonds and the remainder IN
currency. The Richmond anu Dan
Vile road executed q mortgage to Sc
cure the repayment Of this loan.
Finding, however, that they could not
sell the Confederate bonds, the Com:
many locked them up In n Richmond
bank aud issued their own bonds 10
build the connecting link OF road 70
Greensboro, which was subsequently,
Of such great Importance to the MILL
tary operations Of the rebels. An ar
ranpemcnt was made with the Conied.
crate authorities for the return OF the
bonds and tho cancellation OF the
mortgage, but II was never carried out.
! The mortgage, however, was not re.
corded. In December, 1865, tho roau
was restored to the Company by order
of the Secretary Of the Treasury, after
the question Of It's real ownership had
been fully Investigated. the Company
agreeing to pay $3.50 600 for Iron that
had been put upon the line In 1852.
Tho old mortgage was discovered In
Washington among some Confederate
papers captured In Richmond, aud on
| this evidence q suit vas brought to con-
fiscate the road, which was subsequent.
liz withdrawn by order Of the Attor-
ucy.teltTul. <tiiOtitCt ciois was 'heeS
by the persons seeking to get possession
Of tho road. perhaps wishing to black
mall 1t, and tho case had u second hear
Ing In tho Treasury Department, when
| Solicitor Banicld decided that the
| Government had 10 right to the road.
Thsrcupon Gen. Butler, who had ap.
peared as counsel In the case, got II
transferred to the office Of the Attorney
General, where another examination
was had, which resulted In the with.
drawal OF tho suit In the Richmond
court.
Tho next move was 10 carry the case
to Congress. Early In the present ses'
sion Stowell Of Virginia got y rcsolu-
ton passed directing Gen. Buffers
| Committee OH the Judiciary to Inquire
into the 1.-THE Of the United States To
the Piedmont Railroad. a sub.com.
mlttee had the matter In charge, aud
arguments have been heard Oh both
sides. When the case first came up
In the Committee objection was made
to Buffers having anything to do Will
deciding It, OH tho ground that he was
tho attorney for the parties seeking
possession Of the road under the Gov
eminent claim. lilo magnanimously
declined, 1t Is said, to sit rs q judge In
the case.

A Case Of Skin Grating.

Mr.. George Pollock's well known
and successful experiment, By which
he tested tho success OF Ncyerdin's val
liable method Of skin grating In sur
gerry. has been repeated inyersely In
America. DIR. Maxwell, Of Newcas-
tie. Delaware, reports In the Phlladel.
phia Medical Times OF October Is, that
In February, 1873. ho was called to q
negro who had been shot In tho face
with blrd-shot. As he was only a few
feet from the mnzzle Of the gun, the
discharge passed through the left cheek
In as compact n mass rs II II had been
n ball, aud passed out ut the posterior
portion Of the ramus Of the lower jaw,
Just below the lobnle Of tho ear.
There was extensive sloughlng, and
DR.. Maxwell proposed skin grating.
lie conceived the idea Of transplant
ing the skin Of n white man /; aud the
consent Of the patient having been Oh.
tained, DIR. Maxwell cut from his own
arm n piece Of skin about the size Of q
dime. lie also took from the patients
arm a similar piece, aud having cut
them into pieces OF the size OF cana
~ seed, carefully inserted them on
the wound. All the white gratis ex-
eept one died. and this one Increased
rapidly In size, till 1t was more than
half an inch In diameter. After the
wound had healed. DIR. Maxwell thus
describes the patients condition :
"Meetlng my patient or the road, I
readily distinguished the white patch
oil the side Of the face twenty or thirty
yards distant. Upon examination.
dark colored lines, forming a net work
OIL tho white skin, were discovered.
These lines Increased In size and In
number, deepening the color OF the
patch. until, at the end Of the third
month. the whole Of tlis surface Of the
wound was Of a uniform black color"
The experiment Is exceedingly inter-
esting. and 1t Is said To be the first
published case Of the kind.

VIZ notice In telegraphlc dispatches
another proposed retroactive step. lt
Is stated that the Civil Service Com
mittee Of the House will submit n bill
at an carly day, establishing the SAL
aries OF department officials at the
rates at which they stood before the
recent repeal Of the "srab" act. In
other words, 1t Is proposed to partially
undo what has already been done to-
ward retrenchment In this direction,
by liking these salarle, again at the
rates to which they we're raised by the
notorious act Of March 3, 1873. This
may DO thought expedicnt by the com.
mlttee aforesaid, but will not give
credit to tho Congressman by whose
