AND still another patriot Of the Grant
persuasion has been delivered up to the
hungry government attorneys for prose-
cutiOn fer sWindling. He is an ex con-
gresham, and his name is George Tay-
lOr, and he is charged with completely
in defrauding the government Of four
hundred thousand dollars by a bogus
cotton claim. The honorable George,
as we learn from the New York Sun,
was born in Wheeling, Virginia. He
studied medicine, but took to the prsc-
tce Of law when only twenty two yesrs
OF age. He prscticed in Indiana first,
then went to Alabama. He was not
successful in either State. A man of
some literary pretensions, he divided
his time between the practice of law
and writing essays on natural sciences,
popular education, and the like. From
Alabama Taylor migrated to Brooklyn,
New York, where he became proni-
nent as an advocate Of a high moral
standard Of christian duty. In 1855 he
was elected member of the thirty-fifth
congress. AS congressman he served
on two committees, but did not come up
to the expectations Of his constituents.
and was not reelected. After leaving
congress he opened a very unpretend-
ing law office in Washington, on E
street, opposite the postoffice, where he
divided his time between law, real a..
tate, and lobbying claims through con-
gress. Having the privilege Of the floor.
he was supposed to have superior adj.
vantages, over common, vulgar lobby
It's who had never been in congress, and
accumulated accordingly, At
me close Of the war Taylor was taken
INTO the confidence of the bureau of cot.

THE very confusing question Of money
is to be delivered to the scientists for in
vestigstion and report, and the gen.
tlemen Of molecules" as we learn by
telegraph, are to be asked by congress to
ascertain, fist, whether men Of science
themselves can agree as to whether
there is, or is not, at present extant, such
q truthful, systematic, exact and logical
conception Of the facts, laws and nature
fthe subject Of money or currency as TO
constitute the science Of money; and.
second, If they csn SO agree; and il M
there is such a science now known, then

science known, then to evolve, discover,
or create, ifpOssible, such science, and
to state it in the most ineligible form
upon which they can agree.

proper to send his late letter to the Brit
ism prime mimi ter. Like Mr.. BOuci-
cault, Sheridan Knowles was 8 play
wright, pure and simple. He wrote not
TO be resd but to be acted; he valued the
traditions and business OF the stage a
thousand times above the literary excel
lence Of his work or its poetic force; his
entire concern .wss as to how his pieces
would act, and not st all as to how they
would look In print; and in more than
one instance he gave to the stage plays
intended to "TOrk their will in the
cause Of setting Ireland and Irishmen
right before the world. That he was not
as successful "a he hoped was not b 8
fault, and as little is it the fault Of BJu-
cicault that be failed in an object in the
attempt at which we give him full
credit for as ardently patriotic sincerity
as ever moved any other man in or out
of Ireland.

LATEST advices from New Orleans,
through the Times, are to the effect that
Captain Eads's plan of jetties is a sue
cess beyond c2vil or criticism. The
mattresses have been sunk in the east
jetty beyond the crest Of the bar, while
80 far all the work on that sea-wall has
remained solid, and grown firmer every
day as the deposit on the exterior side
of the work is rapidly covering it, as
was expected or counted upon, and the
work is being set as solid as rcck. On
the western wall the wOlk is being laid
from the outer end landmark. AS fer
as both walls have teen completed the
depth between them has increased to
from twenty-five to thirty feet, though
the attrition nearer the shore is neces.
sarily slower than further out on account
Of the greater age and solidity Of the
deposit. From the land outward the
channel Of the greatest depth has
bean near the western WALL as
the eastern jetty being COM
pleted frat DETECTED the line of the
swift current as far down as the work
was completed enough to illustrate prsc-
ticslly the jetty theory, while tolerably
uniform and constantly increasing depth
has been attained, making the theory a
settled axiom at the crest of the bar,
which before the work was well COM

depth almost incredible to all but the
engineers in charge was demonstrated
to exist. The lead showing, on the
twenty-ninth ultimo, sixteen and occa-
sionslly even eighteen feet. With lead
heaving at intervals less than one hun
dred feet apart all the way across the bar
In the channel Of the swiftest current,
fourteen feet was the least depth found.
After going to deep water, the Times
says, the vessel fecrossed the bar. In
the channel mentioned again they found
the minimum depth to be fourteen and
the maximum eighteen feet. The line
Of the greatest depth was found to be
two hundred feet ea3t from and parallel
with the western wall, but extended far
beyond the outer end of that jetty. On
the results mentioned being practically
demonstrated, Captain Bssset said he
was satisfied steamer could go, draw
ing fourteen feet Of water, tosea through
this pass. Colonel Andrews added that
Eyes, and tomorrow he would guaran-
tee to take steam-vessel drawing six
teen feet over" The first result OF the
work, that Of increasing the velocity of
the current to such degree as to enable
it to hold a greater amount of sediment
in suspension, and to sever away the de-
post, has been practically reached, and
the second, of course, follows as corol-
larry event, which only needs very lit
tie time to work out-that is to scour out
enough mud to make the channel twen-
ty feet deep. The distinguished engineer |
in charge states that within four weeks |
a depth Of water Of eighteen feet across
the bar before South pass would be a |
fixed fact.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer complains
OF Hill, of Georgia, and the whole DEM
ocrstic party Of the country complains
Of the Enquirer. 1t assumes 3 leader
ship it is not entitled to, and persists in
its seeming determination to ruin tie
party prospects, or at least to jeopardizs
them, by its offensive advocacy Of "aCft
money! The southern States, we d.
sire to say for the particular benefit OF
the too rampant Enquirer, will have
something to say in the next National
Dannocrafic convention, and at the polio
In November will cast an almost solid
Democratic vote. A careful canvass of
the Democratic journals OF the south re-
veals the fact that not one Of these
States has any pet scheme in connection
with money, or anything else to press
upon the plstform-makers, and is pre-
pared to yield "sll but honor" for Demo-
cratic success. The south will not lend
itself or be party to the schemes, am
billions or yagaries of wild theorists,
meddiing demagOgues or partisan trick
sters. We shall insist upon liberal
platform, broad and strong enough for
patriots of every section and OF what
ever name, and the nomination of two
men whose names and character is like
ly to prove q tower of strength, and
whose personal magnetism will be felt
in the contest. We have opposed the
congressional majority in the house do
ing or ssnctionipg anything that will
make load for us to carry or burden
that will Offset those put upon the cOun-
try by the Republican party, and for the
same reason we are opposed to the En-
q,sirer's increasing the difficulties in the
way of the most perfect party harmony.
Let US have but unity, and we cannot
fail Of success.

THE southern States are good for one
hundred and twenty-seven electoral
votes, without which there will be no
election by the Democrats of their Pres
ident. 1t will only require an order
from the war department TO swing at
least fifty OF these votes-those of Ar.
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
aud North Csrolins-back again to the
Republican line.-NeSO York Herald.
We believe our contemporary isa friend
Of the south; therefore we will not &C.
cuse it of being in the interest Of Grant
or Of threatening US to advance his
third.term project. But the Herald and
all the north--both people and presses
may ss well understand that we know
our rights in the Union, and knowing
dare maintain them; and that any order
from the war department that curtails
the freedom or endsugers the liberty Of
the people OF Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi aud North Carolina, will be an
order equally as effective in and to the
same extent dangerous to New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Hi
nois. The day that sees such
an order Issued will also see the south
solid fer the Union, standing shoulder
to shoulder with the men of the west,
the east and the north f,r the perpetu.
ity of republican institutions. TIE Her
aid must understand that while we are
determined to prosecute and punish the
Radical thieves who bsve uisgraced the
Union, we are also thoroughly in ear
nest in our proteststions of feslty to the
alag of our fathers" We do not fear to
do our duty because Of threats from the
disgraced head Of the war department.
Secure in our integrity of purpose, we
shall 60 on and do that duty; impeach
AIMEE, ard, nnayhap, before we get
through, impeach Grant himself sue

He was a tenderfoot from down east,
and when the train arrived yesterday
he sprang off and rushed up town to
see the sights while his fellow pass en-
gers interviewed Jones' walters. Pass
ing a grocery, notebook in hand, he
observed the sign ''ranch butter fur
sale.n He wrote it down, and meeting
Rapherty just then, inquired what that
meant. Ranch butter,' said Rapher.
ty,s sswhy, I thought everybody knew
what that meant. The ranch butter is
an animal found only in the widest
portions of the Rocky Mountains, and
this useful animal is highly priced by
our dairymen. You see, all the cows
in this country are what are known as
hard mixers, and it is found necessary
to provide some energetic means for
making them ''give down. their milk.
The ranchmen used TO have the calves
butt the COWS in the udder while they
were being MIXED, but the calves
would suck more or less and thus much
of the milk was lost. Some one discov-
cred that the animal now known as the
ranch butter, was easily domesticated
and that when in proximity to cow
this animal Loved to butt them In the
udder. Thus they came to be employed
in assisting at milking time, and the
grocers here employ men to capture
them, when they are placed on sale and
command good prices"

Eds On die Kali and Is Seriously
Injured


AT an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing the section men employed at Jules
burg were moving out Of that place to
their work, and at a short distance
from town they found a boy lying upon
the track He was suffering from q
sprained ankle and his body was coy
cred with bruises. The men placed him
on their a and conveyed him back to
Julesburg where he was taken care of.
The post surgeon at Sidney Barracks
was telegraphed for and arrived at
Juiesburg about 3 O'Clock the next
morning.
The boy gave his name as Enoa
Walker, and said he was trying to
steal a ride on a brake-beam, but was
thrown of, his injuries resulting from
his being caught by a bolt or some other
protuberance and dragged along the
track some distance He says the train
was No. 5, of that day, but the train
men know nothing of his mishap.
Young Walker is quite well-known in
this city, having been, it is said, arrest
ed several times for petty thieving. He
should be sent to some reformatory in
stitution where he can learn to behave
himself.
