Of fun grown men, and they were IN

His hat was vast ruin, with a wide

heels, and had the rearward buttons far
down the back; but one suspeiider sup
ported his trousers; the seat of his trou-

the fringed legs dragged in the dirt
when not rolled up. Huckleberry came
and went at his own free will. He slept
on door steps in fine weather: and in
empty hogsheads in wet;he did not have
to go school or to church, or call any

IA correspondent writing from Dead

'sDeadwood is the best, and about
the worst mining camp now in the
world-best because there is more mon
ey being taken out of the creeks in pro-
portion to their extent, and worst be-
cause the ninety or one. hundred men
who make money rapidly are holding
ON to the same with tenacity that Is
praiseworthy in them, but disastrous to
the merchant, restaurateur and gam
bier. The business men. complain bit
terly Of their lack Of patronage, claim
ing that they can sell nothing but the
bare necessities of life-four, bacon and
beans.
The Chinaman who makes eighty
cents per day and sends fifty cents Of
that to the land of his birth, is an i'm
provident spendthrift compared to our
mine owners, who cie4ns up from $500
to 81, 500 each twenty hours run.
Deadwood, Whitewood, and their re-
spective tributaries are, taken all in all
enormously rich. There are, Of course,
some claims on which the bedrock is
not right to catch and retain the gold,
but I know of about one hundred
claims of three hundred feet each, that

The Democrats are fairly frantic over
the letter of Secretary of War Cameron
to General Sherman. They are very
much afraid that there really will be a
fair election at the South. OF course,
in voting for the resolution quoted by
Mr.. Cameron, the Democrats in the
House only intended little sham bun
combe. They had no idea Of being taken
at their word. The Times Washington
correspondent is furious over II, but con-
cludes by imputing to President Grant
the following and most commendable
declaration:
The President stated to-day that there
was, in his opinion, and that 1t was
based upon evidence laid before him, a
great necessity for concentrating all the
available force of the army In the South
ern States. There was an armed con
spiracy to defeat fair election in sever
al of the States; and no incipient rebell-
ion should flourish while he was Presi-
dent.
If Buchanan had been ike-minded in
1850, the rebellion would have been
crushed in its embryo. We hope the
President will adhere to his purpose, and
that his efforts will be successful.
