The Black HiIIs-Gold Found ii
Paying Quantities.

party from the Black Hills arrived to-
day. Professor Jenney's party, and the
expedition under Colonel Dodge, have
formed permanent camp on French
Creek, near Hardy's Peak, called Camp
Harney, and close by the stockade the
miners built whom Captain Mix brought
out. Gold seems TO have been found in
abundance. Near a hundred miners
were found there in different camps, who
have made claims, and done considera-
BILE work in building sluices, digging
bitches, &c. Some of the party report
that the soldiers in the command have
panned out gold dust of rich quality
The command is reported in good con
dition.
OMAHA, June 22.-The following
has just been received from Colonel r.
J. Dodge, in command of the escort to
Professor Jenney's Black Hills explor-
ing expedition:
"HaRNEY's PEAK, June 19.-Gold is
found in paying quantities on French
Creek. Clusters report is confirmed in
every particular. The command is we'll,
and in fine condition"
Private advices received here say the
command found one hundred miners at
work in Clusters Gulch, taking out gold
at the rate of FIVE TO twenty five dollars
a pan. Evidences are strong that there
are many more miners in that country.
The gold found is coarse and scaly, but
easily pounded. Quartz mines are
abundant, but no one has prospected
them. No Indians were seen by the
command. They are North ofthe peak.

four or five years he had known Mr.
Joseph Loader, the man referred to in
the Herald, of Monday last, who saw
certain transactions occurring between
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton. This acquaintance had been
both during the time he was jobbing
around previous to his starting in busi-
ness for himself, and since the time he
has kept store.
about three years OF three and
half yeass ago. Mr.. Loader told me"
said Mr.. Hamilton, "that he was aware
OF certain facts, which, if divulged,
would put Mr.. Beecher in a different
light before the public. At this time
ne did not tell me what he knew or any
OF the particulars. After the> case came
up in the Court / asked him why, if he
had any particulars which bore upon
the case, did he not come forward and

anyway, and that the counsel for Mr..
Tilton ought 10 be informed. He urged
me not to speak of it, and advanced as a
reason that he was afraid it would hurt
his business, as he had great many
customers among Mr. Beecher's friends.
On Saturday last Mr.. Loader called on
me and asked me if I had ever commu-
nicated TO any one what he had told me,
for he said Herald reporter had been
to see him and that ne found he knew
a great many of the facts, and that he
LOADER had been compelled, at last,
in order to prevent Misrepresentation, to
tell the true story, as was published in
Mondays Herald, and that he could not
understand how these facts had leaked
out. From what Loader previously
told me, compared with the statement
he has now made, am confident that
he has told the truth In all his trans
actions with me and with others that
know he has acted with perfect honesty
and integrity, and that is his character
generally.

A couple of nomadic American gospel
gougers, named respectively Moody and
Snakey, are creating a tremendous up
roar amongst certain classes in London,
by series of meetings jointly held by
them in that metropolis. Heretofore un-
Moody and Snakey have, by their ap-
pearance and operations in London, sue
ceeded in getting themselves prominently
before the world; and now there is
scarcely a newspaper in all the land that
does not contain some reference to them
so that, in a certain sense, they are
famous in their native country. So
much significance has been attached to
their proceedings in London that recent
Iy the Atlantic cable has been almost ex-
clusiyely devoted to transmitting to this
continent particulars concerning their
operations in England. Their depart
ure hence was not a matter of general
concern, which perhaps may be attribu-
ted to the fact that they were not gener-
ally known throughout the country.
But no matter as to that. Certain il
is that Moody and Snakey are widely
known individuals now. Securing in
London large building and an organ,
they opened out. Moody roared the
gospel, and Snakey manipulated the or
gad and poured forth his voice in songs
of the sanctuary. From the jump, so
10 speak, their efforts were a success.
Thousands who had rarely heard the
Word preached. thronged to hear it from
Moody, who, it appears, spread it before
them in manner altogether unprece-
dented for effectiveness. But the latest
intelligence concerning them is to the
effect that they are about to be choked
off. They recently made application to
"open out" at Eton, school for young
men and boys, but were refused on the
ground that the students were there 'for
the Improvement of their minds, and
not to save their souls" This being the
case, it is reasonable to presume that the
time is not far distant when Messrs
Moody and Snakey will make an effort
to enliven things on this slde the water

Irish Emigration.

Recently, authentic returns have been
made to the British Government of the
loss in population suffered in Ireland
within something less than twenty-five
years last past by emigration. It il
placed at 100000 of people, which
would appear TO be a most damaging
drain upon population of between i've
and six millions, as stated in 1871. En-
glish journals, though, are felicitating
themselves that, Judging by the emigra-
tion of the first four months of this
year, the outflow has received something
of a check. They rejoice at this, they
say, not that they deprecate emigration
as an evil, but they think that the Irish
men are staying at home on account of
the present existence of new advantages,
tempting them to remain. But in this
connection the fact is now often dwelt
upon that the idea of "going TO Ameri-
ca" ia no longer what it was in the days
of "auld lang syne." The Exile of
Erin" has for many a year ceased to
elicit paroxysm of pity and pathetics as
it was used to in days of yore. A late
writer says that attached as these people
are to old associations, so bound up with
family and friends, so 10th to separate
themselves from kith and kin, the
first 1rishmen who were forced to come
away did 40 with wrench indeed. But
times are greatly changed, for SO many
have come that the words of the old
Greek who, when dying, said, 81 go to
the majority" might be parodied by an
Irishman starting for the States, for it is
asserted, and with, perhaps, indubitable
correctness, that the Irish, by birth or
descent, on this side of the Atlantic are
as numerous az their brethren at home,
and many families, it is certain, have
more relations in America than in Ire
land -

The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1875-06-25
THE PLATFORM


The Democratic party of Ohio, in
State Convention assembled, proclaim
the following propositions of political
faith and action:
First--A sacred adherence to the
principles of government declared and
put in practical operation by the fathers
of the Republic.
Secon6-Opposition to aggressions by
either department of the Government
upon the functions of the others, and to
the exercise by the Federal authorities
of any of the powers reserved by the
Constitution to the States respectfully,
or to the people.
Third-The protection of the Govern
ment to all citizens, without regard to
race. color, or previous condition of SER
vitude.
Fourth-The Presidents services
should be limited to one term, at SAL
airy Of twenty thousand dollars a
year.
Fifth Retrenchment and reform in
every department of the Government
Federal, State and local.
Sixth-No grants of land or money
by the Government, or use of its credit,
10 railroad, steamship or other compan-
lee.
Seventh-The preservation of the
remnant of the public lands for the ben
eft of citizens of the United States and
foreign emigrants who have declared
their intention to become such, who will
occupy and cultivate the same.
Eighth-That the contraction of the
currency heretofore made by the Repub-
hcan party, and the further contraction
proposed by il, with view to the fore
ed resumption of specie payment, have
already brought disaster to the business
of the country and threaten il with gen.
eral bankruptcy and ruin. We demand
that this policy be abandoned, and that
the volume of currency be made and
kept equal to the wants Of trade, Ieav-
ing the restoration of legal tenders TO
par with gold to be brought about by
promoting the industries Of the people
and not BY destroying them.
Ninth-That the policy already in.
isiated by the Republicap party of ahol-
ishing legal-tenders and giving Nation
al banks the power to furnish all the
currency will increase the power Of an
