EDITORIAL NOTES.

Two classes Of quartz claims are
subject to relocation. First, those
which were located prior 10 May 10,
1872; second, those located after thai
date upon which the necessary
amount Of work has not been done.
The time when the work should
have been begun on the first ex-
pired on the LIST of January, 1875. II,
however, claimant has expended
sl0o on his claim since May 10, 1872,
his claim was not subject to re-loca-
ton on January LIST, and he has the
present year within which to make
his second expenditure, providing
he has complied in all respects with
the local laws, this being the effect
of decision rendered by tive Land
Department last month. Claims To-
Gated after May 10. 1872, are not SUBJ
ject to relocation, provided the
claimants have expended $40 for
each 100 feet claimed for each year
since their location, consequently
their years are no. according to the
calendar, but date in each case from
the time of location and record. If,
however, a proprietor or his repre-
sentative appears and begins work
after the time of Limitation has ex-
pired and before q relocation, his
claim is not subject to forfeiture.
IfWm. w. Tweed has left New
York, it is quite certain he will avoid
countries with which we have extra
dition treaties. The United States
has, altogether, extradition treaties
with fifteen governments-eight Eu-
ropean, two West Indian and one
each with Central American,
South American and South African.
We have also similar international
engagements with the Sandwich Is
lands and Mexico. The European
governments are Great Britain (in-
Guiding its colonies and depen-
dencies), France, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Norway and Sweden, the Swiss
Confederation and Belgium. OF
course, all these countries are closed
to Tweed, unless he is willing to as
sumo great risk, but Portugal, Hoi-
land, Denmark, Russia, Spain,
Greece and Turkey are open, besides
the West Indian is lands of Cuba,
Porto Rico, st. John and st. Croix,
the two latter belonging to Denmark
We have no extradition treaty with
the Powers just enumerated, nor
with Brazil, Chill, Honduras, Peru,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Argentine Con-
federation, Costa Rica, the United
States of Columbia Isthmus Of Pana.
maj, China or Japan. Therefore,
there is a very wide field to select
from, if Tweed once gets beyond the
clutches of the law.

Death of a Pioneer.

Joel Thurman was born in Camp
bell Co., Va, in 1892. He came to
Ohio in early life, and settled near
Greenfield. In 1910 he removed to
New Petersburg, where he lived to
the close of his life. He died April
26, 1876.
He was member of the M. E.
church, for about sixty years, and
lived consistent and active men,
ber until death. He had peace with
God, and as far as possible with all
men. The church of which he was
so faithful member mourns his
loss. He sweetly rests from his Ia
Dor and his works do follow him.

Score Hillsbofb Is; Leesburg 2

Score : Hillsbotb Is; Leesburg z
About two hundred people wit
messed the gameof Base Ball at
Leesburg, on Saturday last, between
the Highlands of f4his place, and the
Seventy Skies of Ieesburg.
The game wassone of the finest
played in this pat of the country
for some years past. The fielding
of both mines was ,excellent, but our
boys showed their superiority at the
bat, batting Miller and Cox, the
Leesburg pitchers all over the field
while on the other hand the Lees
burg boys could scarcely get a sin
gle base hit out of Meek, the Hills
boro pitcher.
The Leesburg boys had six goose
eggs presented to them in the nine
innings, while our boys were not SO
highly favored, and only got three.
The finest points of the game were
the catching and pitching of Mathews
and Meek, of the Hillsboro nine, the
former putting out fifteen men be-
hind the bat, besides throwing sever
al men out at bases, but half of this
credit, as every Base Ball player
knows, must be awarded to the fine
pitching of Meek, the Captain of the
nine.
1t was generally yremarked by the
spectators how hard Meek worked
for the game, and with his example
before them, our boys all pitched in
and did their best.
Although our boys got ahead of
Leesburg in the first inning, and
kept it up through7the remainder of
the game, the Leesburg boys fought
on, determined to win, until the end
of the game. We don't think they
gave the game up until the last man
was declared out,by the umpire.
We think the Highland Nine of
this year is one of the strongest we
have had for several years past, and
with practice, they will be able to
play any club in the neighborhood of
Hillsboro very good game.
The boys are very much pleased
with the manner in which they were
entertained at Leesburg, and they
think the Leesburg boys are set of
gentlemen, as well as-good ball play
ers.
1t is considered a great feather in
Hillsboro's cap to have beaten the
Leesburg club two to one, as they
have not been beaten before this
season, and have beaten several good
clubs in the surrounding country
Below we give the score, which is
official:

In late issue we referred to the
probability that the Springfield &
Jackson Narrow Gauge R. r, would
lay down broad gauge ties from Wa
verify to Jackson, in order to accom-
modate the Scioto Valley R. R. with
a third rail to the jackson coal fields.
We see by last weeks Waverly Re
publican that at the recent meeting
of the Directors of the S. & J. R. R.
at South Charleston, they resolved as
follows:
'That we hereby direct our engin-
eer to construct the road from Wa
verify to jackson of sufficient width,
and the trestling and bridge super
structure of sufficient strength for a
standard gauge road; also, to secure
eight feet ties on that portion of the
line"
Commenting on this resolution,
the Republican says: ''The above
resolution is based upon a probabili-
ty, amounting to almost certain
ty, that the Scioto Valley road will
approach the coal field over the mar
row gauge line, and if it does not,
the bed and bridge will be in readi-
ness to accommodate some other line
or lines, who would rather pay for
the use of the route than to construct
one for themselves.
The same paper says:
'.The surveyors arrived here on
last Tuesday, and are now engaged
in running line on the east side of
town. They are encamped about a
mile above town.
1t seems from the above that the
location of the Valley road through
Pike county has not been definitely
made on the east side of the river,
as was at first anticipated. Surveys
will be made on both sids, and the
best and shortest route will no doubt
be adopted. Piketon and Ports
mouth claim that this is on the east
side of the river.

warm, and we being entirely without
shelter, the sun was fearfully hot.
Many of the boys were bareheaded
and barefooted- Their foreheads and
insteps we're the most exposed parts,
and blisters would swell up half as
large as hens egg, and the result
would generally be Inflammation and
gangrene, ending in death to the
poor victim.
Nine-tenths of the prisoners that
were vaccinated experienced the same
Inflammation, followed by gangrene,
which resulted in amputation, and at
least 20 per cent. died from that
cause. A few got well without any
difficulty, but when their arms heal
ed up it left red scar, which 1 think
was conclusive evidence that impure
vaccine was used
During the time that so many Of
our boys were suffering with ulcerat-
ed arms and receiving medical treat
ment, several young medical students
came to Andersonville and cut and
butchered the prisoners terribly. I
was told that they would perform an
operation without chloroform or any
thing to deaden the pain, and many
times the poor victims died before
the operation was completed
Some of my readers may be curl
GUS to know how we spent our Sun
days. Sunday looked Just like any
other day. The only thing that re-
minded you that one day was Sab
bath more than another, was that
some prisoner, with more piety than
the rest, would get up and sing a
hymn and read or quote page of
Scripture, and then preach or exhort.
He would call on us to put our trust
in God and be patient-that our tri-
ais were only to purify and prepare
us for better place. Some of the
devout and Christian prisoners would
gather around the preacher, and for
a short time forget their misery IN
the contemplation of better world
beyond the grave.

The Outlook.

Mr.. Blaine's mastery stroke in the
House, on Monday oflsst week, in
reading the Mulligan letters, and
charging home on Mr.. Knott, the
chairman of the investigating COM
mittee, his suppression of a cable dis
patch from Mr.. Caldwell, generating
Mr.. Blaine, has caused a strong re-
action in his favor, and he has ev-
identity more than recovered the
ground he had previously lost, by
his refusal to surrender the letters
to the committee. It looks now as
if he may get the 300 votes on the
1st ballot which his friends have been
claiming for him, and possibly
enough more on the I'd or Sd ballot
to give him the nomination. Still,
there will be stubborn resistance,
from the cooler heads of the Conven-
ton, to the nomination of any can
didate whose record will have to be ex
plained and defended from the start,
and throughout the campaign. The
contest bids fair to be too close to
run any unnecessary risks, and the
necessity of selecting a candidate
free from all charges affecting his in
tegrity, will be persistently urged,
and we hope successfully. Should
this policy prevail, Mr.. Blaine will
necessarily be dropped.
The same objection will probably
prove fatal to Mr.. Morton, against
whose private character grave
charges have been made, which
though not affecting his honesty
would injure him seriously in tht
canvass.
The strongest opposition to Mr.
Bristow will come from those out
and-out Republicans who are afraic
to trust any Southern man, after the
example of johnson and Tyler, anc
we think there are enough of thi!
class to defeat his nomination.
Mr.. Conkling may perhaps devel
ope greater strength after the Isl
ballot, but in our opinion he cannot
get the nomination. If Mr.. Blaine
fails, it will almost certainly go to g
Western man, as the friends of Bris
tow, Morton, Hayes and Washburr
will probably unite, and will con
troll the result.
1t is reported from Washington
that Mr.. Conkling's friends will &c
over to Hayes when they find there
is no chance for Conkling; and tht
N. Y. Herald has report that Mr.
Blaine's friends will do the same il
the same contingency.
Altogether, as the books are post
ed up, before the Convention meets
the chances for Hayes appear to b
looming up, and we still feel {
strong presentiment, if not con
viction, that when the result is an
nounced in our next issue, his nam
will head the ticket.

a large increase in Internal Revenue
receipts. For the month Of April
the increase has been over $780,

last year, which can be attributed
