The number of feet added to the
main tunnel by the contractors dur
ing the month of April was SO.
The rock still continues quite
hard, and will probably remain so
until the tunnel reaches the vicinity
of the ledge, which from the condi-
ton of. other mines on the lode
should yield largely of milling ore.
Superintendent Hntchings, always
on the lookout for the interests of
the company he represents, has had
the claim resurveyed. He has also
selected most eligible mill site
northeast of the mouth OK the tun-
mel. All work in connection with
the mine is being pushed ahead with
all possible speed.
Work is continued and the mine
looking better than ever. On the
main track floor, about 800 feet from
the mouth, o cross-cut is being run
south, with good ore coming in.
The slopes are yielding their usual
amount of ore, but of much higher
grade than heretofore. Re-timber-
ing the 60-foot drift from the incline
is being done preparatory to open
ing out ore at that point. The usual
amount of ore is being shipped to
the mill.

A large body of water was struck
in the west wall of the south drift;
on the 500-foot level. which has
caused suspension of work in the

Tlle Maioriir in Maine

Fhe Detnocratic papers are trying to
ca tch crumb OF comfort from the fact
that the Congressional msjorities in
Maine aggregate less by some four
thousand than the Gubernatoriai ma.
Jority. They conceal the fact that in
three of the five Districts in Maine
oolting Republican candidates ran for
Congress, and the votes these bolters
received were at the same time given
for General Connor, the Republican
candidate for Governor. The bolt was
unsuccessful in every District, but it,
OF course, cut down the vote of the reg
ular candidates, who are, nevertheless,
elected by msjorities ranging from
twelve hundred to three thousand. But
the Governor had a majority of fifteen
thousand, and that is the fact which the
Democraticjournals find SO unpalatable.

has had dealings with him will testify,
and would not stoop to q mean thing
even though it would secure his cleo

where he done aught that was wrong
to secure his nomination. The charge
was brought against him TO draw public
attention from the record of the Demo-
cratic Candidate, who to say the least
of it, by his action in naming. his child

Southern Confederacy, Lee, at the time
when the Nation was struggling to per-
petuate its existence, insulted every
Scared Union Soldier, and outraged
the feelings of every supporter of the
Union Cause. No, there is nothing in
the life or acts of VIM. G. Kinney, that
should detract from him a single vote
on the contrary there is everything to
entitle him to the hearty, earnest and
active support of every Republican and
liberal minded man in the County.
Our Candidate for Commissioner, III.

WITHOUT desiring TO controvert any,
thing the truly virtuous and moral ed
itor of the Barnesville Enterprise may
say, we would meekly remark that the
card which that sheet published last
week, purperting to give the present
opinion Of the Belmont County Bar on
the Judicial question, is. a fraud We
write what we can establish, by indu-
bitablc proof, that at least eight of the
twenty-one lawyers whose names
are published as being in favor of
Judge Chambers, are actively opposed
to him. Besides these, there are a
few prominent lawyers whose names
are not published in this card. We
mention no names but We know
whereof we write, that the ablest of

In behalf of our Candidate for Coro-

no suggestions. Everybody who

as a citizen he is al his post of duty,
performing it conscientiously.

War Claims of the Solid South.

The quills and stumps of the Democ-
racy are constantly asserting that the
fourth clause Of the Fourteenth Amend.
ment OF the Constitution, permits the
payment of rebel claims. This is the
clause
"Neither the United States, nor any
State, shall assume or pay any debt OF
obligation incurred in aid of insur.
rection or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for the loss OF
emancipation of any slave, but all such
debts, obligations and claims shall be
held illegal and void"
This does not interfere at all with the
claims for damages done Southern
property during the progress of the
Union armies Here, for instance, is q
bill for the passage of Buell's army
through turnpike gate, in pursuit oi
Bragg; there is no Constitutional
Amendment against that. Here is q
bill for damage to farm OH Stone Riv.
er. Here, bill for burning houses in
Atlanta; there is no Constitutional pro
hibition ofsuch payments. Only few
more rebel Claim Agents in Congress
and then the way to the Treasury fol-
two or three thousand millions will be
open. This is Tilden Democracy.
Remember debt claim is one thing
trespass and damage quite different
and remember, too, Tilden declared
the Union Armies tresspassers upon
Southern soil and liable to the penalty
for tresspass and damage.

BRING OUT EVERY YoTE.-Fvery
Republican vote must be got out on
Tuesday. No business transaction, no
public or private engagement must be
allowed to interfere with voting. This
must be considered a sacred obligation
to be kept at all hazards and under all
circumstances. The loss of a single
vote may give the State to the Democ-
racy. The loss of State may lead to
the surrender of the Government to
those who have plotted its overthrow.
Republicans must work as if on one
vote depended the salvation of the Re.
public. The lukewarm must be arous-
ed to activity, and doubters must be
convinced by the presentation of facts;
every friend of tbs country must be
enlisted in the great work of defense.
The signs of the times indicate a Re-
publican victory, but our friends must
remember that the result depends upon
the work accomplished. If the work is
thorough the triumph will be complete.
