After this the society went into the
discussion of a lunch given by Presi-
dent Barton, and although we left be-
fore this, we can we'll imagine that it
was handsomely disposed Of. There
is no doubt if SO much humor and
pleasantly occasionally cropped out
even in the discussion of dry corn and
oats, things must have been more racy
when the theme changed to wheat,
rice, &c, served up with the necessary
condiments.

of their brother fremen, the Elliotts.
Both companies looked remarkably

they have little at stake themselves,
are willing to sacrifice and labor for
the good of their fellow.citzcns.

On last Saturday we had the pleas

ciety at the Fair building, and we
were more impressed than ever with
the practical benefits of such organi-

kindly and social feeling among the

giving questions for the society to de-

at home sick, but even in his sickness
he showed, in several substantial ways.
that his heart and all his energies
were with the society.
Mr.. John l.. hIoorer occupied the
chair and offered to the society, as a
subject of debate, two of the questions
suggested in DIR. Barton's letter, which
brought out a very interesting and in

GENERAL NEWS.

Representative Bell. of Georgia, in
his speech on the Louisiana question
made passing mention of affairs in
South Carolina. IIc said:
Mr.. Speaker, it is n. singular thing that
10 much horror is manifested at the white
leagues of the South and none against the
black leagues. 1t is notorious that almost
the entire body Of colorcd voters in the
South are members of oatll:bound leagues
meeting in darkness, and many of them
armed and ineited to the most deadly hos.
tliity to white men by bad men of the re-
publican party for selfish partisan ends.
but no word of complaint or rcbuke escapes
republican lips no republican press teens
with denunciatiOns Of Them, and no arm of
federal power is barred for their suppression
The midnight heavens blush in redncss
with the flames of burning dwellings and
gin-houscs in South Carolina, and the lieu
cnant-gcneral of the army advises nc. sus.
pension of the writ of habcas corpus that he
may summarily try the inccndiary and pun
ish the arson. Why is this? Is it because
the turpitudc of crime consists in the color
Of the perpetrator; or is it because it is done
by those who maintain negro dcspotism
over the people of that suffering State :?
Why is there no condemnation of tho black
leaguers in the South? Is it because they
were organized by adventures in the inte-
rest of the republican patty that they arc
not condemned?

The War in Liberia.

Every enterprise Of man must un-
dergo Il test, and when nations are
concerned the test usually Is war. The
republic of Liberia, which was founded
in q colony Of free blacks by the Amer
lean society in 1920, and in 1871 de
clared Il free state, the territory having
been purchased from time to time from
the aboriginal owners, Is now involved
in Il war with the ahoriglneS which
promises to he Of no little importance.
The cable dispatches state that hostili-
tics have commenced ut Cape Palmas,
the aborigines being under command
of several educated natives; that there
was srwe Fighting on the nth Of Sep
tehber, in which fifty were killed and
wounded; and the Liberian government
had dispatched troops from Monr0via,
the seat Of government, to the scene Of
action, and that a great battle was eX-
pected. Whether the Libcrians. with
an instinct of flibustering implanted
by early associations, have been poach-
ing upon the manor Of the aborigines.
or the latter, excited by the intrigues
Of European diplomacy, have determ-
med to destroy repUblicanism in Africa
are questions vet to be solved hy the
dispatches. Bat that war exists seems
20 be certain, and probably no field
could be better chosen in which to
demonstrate the power and influence
OF the intelligent negro in combating
the ignorance and savagcry Of his own
race. There are, unfortunately, local
tiles in this country in which the inAu-
cnccs Of Il widespread civilization are
almost ovcrmatchCd by the combined
ignorance OF the blacks aud incendiarv
teachings OF INSCRIPTIONS whites. bat
there Is no ground for the presumption
that q "coior war or any other war
growing out of the same causes is
either necessary or probable.
The Liberians are 80 situated that

ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
a Single Years Production of the Mine

A Single Years Production of the Mines
OF America.
The year 1876 will rank as an event
ful one in American mining. Whether
in the line of new and rich discoveries,
increased yield from old ones, or better
methods of taking out and reducing
ores, it is equally year of great pro-
gress. The yield of precious metals in
the United States, which has for some
time fuctuated from $50, 100000 to
$4,000, 600 per year, will in 1876 ag-
gregate very nearly S10O,O00,O0O 1t
is claimed also by those who have Civ
en- the subject most attention that the
Weld in actual cash has been greater to
the number of men employed, and the
average per cent. Of profit higher, in
mining than in any branch Of manu-
featuring or commerce. Since the pan
ic of 1878 mining seems to have passed
entirely from the domain Of speculative
investment and become systcmatized
business, in which money is made by
the same management and nice atten-
ton to details as in manufacturing.
Perhaps the greatest progress has
been made in the reduction Of ''rebeI-
lious ores, notably those of Colorado
For instance, in. Griffith district, in
that territory, the first ores produced
had to be sent abroad for reduction,
mostly to Swansea, Wales, but some
even to Germany. As late as 1867 the
mills which first succeeded in treating
the ores Of that vicinity charged 500
per ton for reducing, and did not claim
to exact more than sixty per cent. Of
the silver contained i'll the ores, as
shown by fire assay. Under this sys-
tenn only the richest ores could be
proftably mined, and many Of the
mines now most valuable necessarily
were abandoned for the time. Success
sive improvements have been made un
til now the average ores of that country
are reduced at a charge to the miner of
but $50 per ton, and the freest ores for
S25. According to the prevailing sys-
tenn the mill owners deduct the cost and
paw the miner for the remainder Thus
ore yielding 100 ounces in silver per
ton is worth at the mill so, the re-
mainder being retained as toll. Obvi-
ously even at this reduced rate ores
cannot proftably be mined which yield
less than fifty ounces per ton, as the
margin above thirty is nearly consumed
in mining and transporting.
The water is so low in some Of the
western rivers that the catfish have to
stand on their heads to breathe.
