Secret Politics in Matylsad.

Tho Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, August 81, writes:
The secret party in Maryland is evidently
becoming quite formidable, and greatly
disturbs the Democrats. 1t has been busy
ct work for some time past holding meet
ings, enlisting members, and. discussing
plans for the coming campaign. Openly,
the Democrats affect to consider it of no
importance. Secretly, there is anxiety and
fear at Democratic headquarters, and an
intense desire to get into the mysteries of
the new party, to determine its member
ship, and ascertain its designs. The Demo
cratic newspapers produce bogus reports of
its meetings and conventions, and use in
them the names of disreputable politicians
who hang on it's outskirts, but are rarely
ostracised by it. Meanwhile the members
are very successful in keeping still tongues
in their heads. They meet in close locked
rooms, with guards at the doors to see that
nobody goes in without giving the counter
sigD, and passing . satisfactory inspection.
The conclavee last for hours, and ne news-
paper has as yet succeeded in getting q
faithful report 6f it. The new party is par
ticularly strong with the Germans, who
have been almost sOlidly Democratic ever
since. . Republican Legislature, ten years
ago, passed stringent Sunday Law. Now
they are falling away from the Democratic
party on the principle Of opposition to Sec
tartan appropriations, to which the new or
ganization is pledged. Its members claim
that it iAnet con6aed to xaryland;. that it
exlsts in other States. especially in Ohio,
where ~ is antagonistic to Democracy on
lccountSof tho alliance of that party and
he Cataolie Church.

called tsilings, and had been treated before end

These facts are verified BY the Testimony
of responsible capitalists and experienced

Case il seems to. me that the facts are Be.

new process to the gold mining interests of

Quiet To.day.".
The REPUBLICAN published, yesterday, an
extract from the Jackson, Mississippi
Tines, stating that in consequence of the
refusal of . Republican club, that was pa:
rading, TO- stop the beating of their drum,
in the town Of Noxubee, near fhe Alabama
line, . number of AlabaniaDs got up q
difficulty, hurt . colored man, called the
sheriff with white posse, and the Repab-
licans insisting ON beating the dreadful
drum, they were fred into, and Q great
many were hurt.
Tho Vicksburg Herald, with the Head
lines Of "All Quiet To-day! Eight Negroes
Killed., Several Wounded, and Twenty
Made Prisonefs,' says:
The origin Of che riot was private quar-
fel between q white man and negro about
drum beating. The negroes assembled at
beat of drum before the whites made any
dem0nstration, and they fred the first shot
No sppreheRsions Of any further trouble ~
present.
Under those circumstances, the prediction
il safe one. The Times says:
We ere as yet nable 10 give the pafticu-
lars definitely. "A Telegram. received this
morning reports twelve eolored men shot.
two. mortaliy. No whites wero hurt. A
private letter Gays the town Of Macon is
under arms and great excitement prevails.
In all probability no more decrease in the
colored vote will be made at present. Tho
co!ored men attempted so'parade as Re-
publican club. They had no idea of doing
-auything wrong. But they wore noving AZ
the music Of drum. That was tho only
Weapon they had. AT first it did not offend
any ono who had equal rights With them
selyes. Bdt strsngerr, Alabamians, OF. as
the Herald says, "a white man." disputed
with them on their right to beat it. Then
one eolored man was wounded. Then two
were killed Then eight were killed and
several wounded. Then the country was
secured and twenty arrested. They won't
best tho drum any more-at least the eight
killed WON'T do 90 any more, especially
when Alabamians come to town a. guests
It il also reported, and no further con-
mens is needed, that an armed organization
passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That DR.. ). B. Allgood is the
cause Of all the trouble With which the
county is now. afflicted, and that unless he
puts speedy stop to i, he will be held per-
sonally responsible by the good people Of
the county.
And this is the reputation Of Ds. Allgood,
rs stated by the Times:
This DIR. AHgoed is one of the oldest and |
and most respectable citizens of Noxubee,
and one of the heaviest taxpayers. His pri- |
Fate and personal character are above re-
,roacb. No man can say aught against |
him. He is, however, an uncompromising |
and has great influence with |
he colored people. This doubtless is the
r0uble.

J On Tuesday evening . number of promi.

Charles Hotel by invitation of the board Of
directors Of the New ORLEANS Pacific Rail.
way Company, and listened to report Of
progress from President Z. B. Wheelock.
1t was business talk 70 business men, and
questions were freely, asked and answered.
The advantages to come through tho build
ing of this road to Texas. are conceded by
all mercantile men of New Orleans, and the
underwriters are not slow to comprehend
the fact that what will bring increased bust.
ness to merchants will bring gains to them.
The one benefit follows the other, and men
in all departments of business and profes.
sions are alike interested in the prosperity
Of New Orleaps.
Mr.. Wheelock proceeded to illustrate tho
perilous commercial situation of our city,
shown in every branch Of industry, in the
shriaksge in value Of stooks and bonds, and
the deprecated value Of real estate.
The statement waa made that bonds aud
stocks OF the city had deprecated $4,000
600 during the years 1873 aqd 1874, and that
real estate had decreased by some millions
of dollars in the same time. While thb de.
probation is seen in collateral and real in
vestments, the true condition of the city is
better reflected by the earnings Of our pub
lie companies, insurance and street railway.
Taking an average street railroad company,
and comparing the receipts Of 1870 with
those of 1874, and falling off Of 5000,
representing 920,0O fares, was seen. The
fire risks in 1870 show premiums earned. by
the insurance companies 81, 22O, 600; during
the same time in 1875 they were 81 ,479,24s
A still greater falling off was seen in marine
and river insurance. This in local business
by homo companies, snd the underwriters j
were invited to consider the facts and
figures.
This was the dark side of the picture,
from q commercial view. Mr.. Wheelock
then stated that those who had proposed to |
build first class railroad from Alexandra |
10 Mansaeld. and thence to such points
north and west = may he decided upop in
he future, wesA firm in the conviction that
he oonsunpssio1 of he. work would

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Fam happy to be able TO report some
thing which will prove Of. interest to all
classes of your readers, without regard to
politics or conditions in life.' Boston enter.
prise has produced lately some startling re-
aults in the business Of gold mining in
North Carolina. Il the new process en-
ployed in obtaining these results stands thl
sest of further experiment upon . large
scale Of 'opersti0ns, quite revolution will
be effected in the treatment Of that class Of
ores known as the lower grades To know
exactly what this term lower grade
implies, it may be said tina. every
"rieh" gold. silver and copper mine
turns out q large percentage OF ores
that are perfectly valueless- is it'costs
more to get the precious metal out of these
low grade ores than the gold or silver or
copper is worth after being. thus extracted.
The same may be said Of . large class Of
mines. These m pes being low grade mines
that Is, producing only the low grade and
valueless ores-it will not pay to develop
or work them. Many efforts have been
made to overcome this difficulty. The
driving" power, as we'll as the :'sttractive''
power Of the precious metals, have stimu.
lated business energy as we'll as inventive,
genius to find some wsy.ot getting the gold
and silver which is thrown sway in 50 many
mines and lies undeveloped in others. The
nearest approach which has been made
to the desired end in thn case is
process which lnvoles cost. Of e25
to %3Os ton for reducing. ores: The ore
must be comparatively rich. to. allow of this
process being used. II the ore contains only
fsom 325 to $30.a ton, gold; there is no mar
gin for profit under 8 process. which 'costs
$25 to $50 ton. Indeed, for all practical
purposes, ores worth from go to SIS per
ton are excluded by this process as worth
less. Under the new process tho cost of re-
dueing the gold-bearing ores is only $5to
the ton. 1t will be seen at. once that the
margin is enormous. II Is confidently
claimed by. this new process that there il
not an ore in any part of the country that
will not yield its gold prodtably, whoa put
through this simple bot elective mode Of
reduction.
In order 20 give the sesdef clear: idea Of
the value Of this impnoyspent. in treating
ores, J subioip the following table,. II is

To hiA Exec ellsncy Governor Kellogg:
DEAR SIR:-I have to offer my best thanks
for your favor of the fifteenth ultimo, in
reply to my inquiry as to legal proceedings
to prevent your State from paying the in
terest on her consolidated debt, and note
you refer to constitutional provisions as q
guarantee or protection to the owners OF
such bonds, and as there is an unfavorable
impression abroad, here, as to the probable
future, IN respect to them, have to ask if
you will kindly forward me copy of your
present State constitution, if you have it in
pamphlet form, or q copy Of the sections
striving to make up q good round sum OF
money to put into them, and hope to sue
ceed, even against many adverse circum-
stances.
l have the honor, however, to remain,
your excellency's most obedient servant,
l may observe, with entire truth, that par
ties from your State appear here from time
to time who dilate extensively in respect to
alleged wholesale thieving on the part of
carpet -baggers." whatever those may
mean; that the State is loaded down to low
water mark, almost to swamping, under
ner enormous load of debit that taxation is
beyond precedent; the assessments on real
estate being more than it would sell for,
and that everything will be repealed 30
soon as the "tsxpsyers" get control of
State affairs, etc.
l would be pleased if you would favor me
With the extent per cent Of the annual tar
for your public debt that may be in q stu
alton to meet AND answer such bosh az
have been referred to. -.
