ANIMAL SORROW. During a recent
visit to the Pacific coast, was told the
following incident by an eye witness A
heifer had gone in the morning with the
herd to the field for pasture. During
her absence her first born was slain. and
the skin carelessly hung on the barn
yard fence to dry. The evening brought
the milch kline home. A gentle breeze
blowing revealed, by mysterious instinct,
the loss of the dam. She neared the
spot, stood motionless, and her whole
frame seemed to tremble with emotion.
Not a murmuring low as usually, was
heard. Overwhelming sorrow was as
plain on her face, as the mother wiring
ing her hands in agony over an empty
cradle. Several farm hands we're look.
ing on. They saw the great round tears
flowing silently down This dumb
beasts sorrowful eloquence, telling them
of their cruelty, they could not stand.
They too, wept like children. Sunday

citizens for all losses sustained IN con-
sequence of a failure to afford such
protection. We also demand that all
settlers upon the Sh0shone Indian
reservation, in tlds Territory, shall
he fully compensated for their
improvements, made in good faith
thereon, before being compelled to va
cate the same; and TO encourage u
promote the permanent occupation and
settlement Of our Territory, We ask
that sufficient appropriations be made
by the general government to secure
the survey of all public lands within
our limits where occupation and settle
ment is practicable, and especially that
all such lands recently eliminated from
the Shoshone Indian reservation may
be surveyed without delay;
Resolved, That the establishment of
military posts in the Wind River coun-
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should at once
construct from some point on the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country to the Yellowstone National
park.

oates IN Coarention assembled, That we

promulgated in the platform adopted
by the late Territorial Republican con-
yention that met at Rawlins on the 14th
instant;
That we accept the nomination Of w.
w. Corlett as a candidate for Delegate

most unreservedly recommend him TO
the people of this Territory al a man OF
marked ability. of sterling integrity,

How the sioux do Their Work.

Y A correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says: The Sioux,
when on the war path, black their faces
from their eyes down, the forehead
being colored a bright red. When in
mourning and very eager to avenge the
death of friends or relations, they cut
their hair short and daub their faces
with white earth. Their feats of horse
manship are wonderful. They consider
the greatest act of valor to be the strik-
ing Of their enemy with some hand in
strument when alive, and whether alive
or dead, it is the first one that strikes
the fallen foe that s'counts the COUP"
and not the one that shoots him. They
do not always scalp. Their object of
scalping is to furnish a proof of their
deed and give them to their women to
dance over. They always attack in a
sweeping, circling line, eagle like, give
a volley, pass on, circle and return in a
different angle. When they kill one of
their enemy there is always a rush to
get the first crack at him so as to count
the COUP" and then some Indian who
was disappointed in getting a cut at the
victim while alive, scalps him. The
Sioux always camp with tepees Qodges)
in a circle, making, as it were, a stock
ade, and when on dangerous ground
they picket their ponies in the circle.

The Miners Delight.

Since the sale of the famous Miners
Delight lead, in the Sweetwater coun-
try, a reorganization has taken place,
and the following are the new officers:
S. +. Nuckolls, of Salt Lake, President
and Treasurer; Jas. Kline, of Miners
Delight, Superintendent; F. G. Hop
kins, Of Chicago, Secretary; and the
other two directors are b. Hellman and
Henry Housman, Of Cheyenne. The
company owns a ten-stamp mill withtwo
large engines, which, together with the
balance of the mill, are being put in
irst-class repair preparatory to starting
up in the spring; and for this purpose
an assessment Of 81, 900 has been made
against each one of the owners. Three
hundred cords of wood are also being
laid in for operating the works. The
pay streak in this wonderful lead is
from one to Ave feet wide; the shaft is
down 145 feet; the course Of the vein is
northeast by southwest, pitching west;
it is a true assure vein of gold with
black granite and black slate wall rock.
The mine has for some time been ~
ing idle on account Of the owner law
ing each other, and during that time 90
feet of water has accumulated in the
shaft; this will be removed by supplying
a large pump; and SO o o as ~expedient
steam hosting works will be purchased
for taking out the ore. Blythe indiffer-
ent process Of working heretofore, the
ore has turned from the mill from $40
to $4,000 per ton, and has averaged
800 per ton. While this may seem al

The Situation in the South.

The government has received official
reports from the South which call for
grave consideration. Positive informa-
ton has been received that armed and
mounted bodies of men from Georgia
are riding through South Carolina in
timidating colored voters by threats and
actual outrages. They are armed,
drilled, and in all respects rebel cavalry.
They ride in connection with what are
apparently organized companies OF
Wade Hampton's cavalry, with their
old officers. Some of these organiza-
lions have also appeared in parts OF
North Carolina. A letter has been re-
ceived from a former confederate officer
of southern birth and education, an ex-
tensive planter, who, since the war,
without being an active Republican,
has voted that ticket. He details a
system of outrage and intimidation in
his State, Miss, ! which seems incredi-
BILE. His neighbors understand Louis
lana and South Carolina to be carried by
Democratic frauds, and whatever force
is necessary to keep the negroes from
the polls, or so threaten and overcome
them that they will not dare vote the
Republican ticket. He writes, although
a southern man whose life associations
have been with the southern people, he
will be compelled to abandon his prop
erty if Tilden is elected.

Wyoming Republican Platform.

Resolved, That upon all questions Of
national concern, we cordially endorse
and adopt the platform of principles
recited by the National Republican
Convention held at Cincinnati, and we
earnestly desire the election of the NOM
inees of that convention to the offices
of President and Vice-President of the
United States, respectively, believing
that such a result would in the present
aspect Of affairs be the only safe guar
anty of the permanency of the American
Union and the prosperity of every sec
tion of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filling of all offices therein,
including the important Office of Dele
gate in Congress, with honest and COM
petent citizens, selected from actual and
bona fde residents of the Territory;
Resolrod, That the introduction of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system of free la
Dor to which the Republican party has
ever been committed and that we
condemn every system and policy in
the Government which deprives Ia
Dor of its dignity; and that the inn
portation of Cinnamon to this coun-
try has driven out of employment
a large class of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards the progress
and development of the territories; and
that we highly commend the action of
the National Republican Convention
in calling upon Congress to investigate
the effect of Chinese immigration upon
the laboring classes of this country,
and that the prompt action of Congress
in the matter meets our hearty appro-
val.
Resolred, That we utterly and I'M
qualifedly condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United States-so far as
relates to the practice of making
treaties with these savage and barbarous
tribes-as inconsistent with the sover-
eighty Of the government and as being
puerile in policy and failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will sub
ject these savages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control of the ma.
tion, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet'
tors
Resolred, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration fol
the important steps taken to rid the
northern part of this Territory of oui
old enemies, the Sioux, and that WI
cordially approve of its Indian policy a.
now being carried out by Genera
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
of his command;
Resolved, That it is the duty of tn,
government TO open to exploration ant
settlement every acre Of the publi'
domain, and that settlers upon tn,
public lands Of the United States shoul,
have full protection and every en-
couragement, wherever they may be
We, therefore, believe it to be the dut
Of the United States to fully protec
such settlers from Indian depreciation
and hostilities, and to indemnify sue

residents that a chunk of quartz the
size Of a baby's head was stolen by one
of the hands and sold at S1,020, and
that another smaller one sold at Bryan
for 500.
The last six months that the claim
was worked, while the litigation was
going on, none of the men asked for
pay, Tor they were well satisfied with
the quartz that they carried home in
their dinner buckets, and a single one
of these buckets sold for $50. Hand
mortars could be heard at night in every
part of the camp. Specimens in a qui-
nine bottle sold for $50 to $500.
When this lead starts up in the spring
it will employ about 60 men, and at
least 200 men win be employed in and
around the camp. Ogden Freeman.

TnE SHARP MURDER.
What Might Have Been.
WINNl MuccA. April %. ;

WINNLMUCCA, April ~, 10,
ED,ToR SILVER STATE: That Sharp
was killed and his body butcherod in a
most cruel manner, are facts too
horrible to relate. That Rover COM
mitted the flendlsh crime is not
known fact; hut, circumstances strong
and conclusive point to him rs the
murderer; hence his second conviction.
Rover may be guilty; but there is q
possibility of bis innocence.
Let ssuppose. for the sake Of argu-
ment. that at the time Of Sharp's myster-
ious disappearance Rover had laid the
matter before the authorities, and in
formed them that McWorthy was indebt-
ed 90 sharp in the sum of several hun
died dollars; that they we're co-owners
In valrabls sulphur mine; tsat Sharp s
Disappearance would give MeWorthy
the entire control Of a mine worth a
fortune; that MeWorthy, the friend,
partner, and debtor of Sharp had
allowed eight days to elapse before
iustita@ng search.
Ia hat event McWorthy would have
been convicted, and upon circumstan-
ces more conclusive Tia ~ those which
warranted Royer's conviction.
Whv didn't Rover do This?
Ii Rover is innocent ii is not to be
supposed ke knew anything about it.
moreover, il was McWorthy's place to
cause search to be made.
