New York letter

A recent announcement in city paper Of
new partnership, by which an old mer-
chant associates himself with his son as full
partner, recalls very singular episode in
the young mans history. Less than four
teen years old, he was graduate OF popu-
lar educational institution, and returned to
his fathers house with one very unfortunate
habit-that Of gambling. He gambled away
every cent he could obtain by fair or foul
means, and finally forged his fathers name
to check for $1,000 and left the city. a
private detective was employed to bring HIM
back! but started from the city without the
slightest clue to his whereabouts. 1t was
ascertained, however, that he had gone Oft
with another young scapegrace, and With
out any information as to their route the
officer concluded that the party would want
to see the world en- route. He followed
blindly, but luckily overlook the fugitives
near Cleveland. The companion was warn
ed to take care OF himself, but the mer-
chants son was reckless, and at first de-
clined to return to the city with the officer.
at length he consented to come as far
as Jersey City. This was satisfactory to the
detective, who managed to telegraph to the
anxious father to meet him on the trains aa-
rival. The young man was astounded to see
his father, but truce was soon established
and the son taken home. Ever after he
avoided cards and bad company, and for
four wears and more has borne ample evil
dence of his complete reformation. He is
now partner in business reputed to be
worth $4,000 yearly, and not one OF his ac-
uuaintances knows these facts. They are
recorded in private detective agency.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November "a
Baltimore firm have printed campaign his
tory OF the Andersonville prison, from
which it appears that reform is necessary In
the popular belief in the North concerning
that charming spot. The volume asserts
that Andersonville was selected for a mill
tary prison on account of the suitability Of
its position and facilities for obtaining
abundant food at all times, as well as on ac-
count of its rem0tcness from the Federal
armies. The grounds and buildings were
prepared with the utmost regard for
hygiene and philanthropy; that every effort
was made to mitigate the sutferings
of Imprisonment; that the patriot prisoners
confined there were more numerous than
the whole Confederate army, and had in
satiable appetites; that they were illiterate,
lazy, dirty, savagely cruel to each other,
liars, thieves, bounty-iumpers, and only
controlled by force; that their real suffer-
ing resulted from a malignant pestllence
that Captain Wirz was hung on suborned
testimony; that his alleged co-conspirators
were all innocent and loving; and that the
few deaths which occurred, excepting exc
cutions and murders by prisoners, are at
tributable to the calculating villainy at
Washington, which, by refusing to furnish
food and clothing to its captured troops,
and drawing away southern labor to the ILL
endured work OF fighting, caused the suf-
fering that occurred.

Mysterious Shooting Afiair.-Last night
Mr.. Allen Bradley, a well-known citizen Of
our city, was shot through the leg under
very mysterious circumstances. Mr. Heindl,
the engineer from your city, was walking
down Hull street, when he heard some one
calling for help. He found Mr.. Bradley
lying near the front gate of "The Cottage
House." above Third street, and upon ask
ing what was the matter, he received the
reply, "I am shot!' He Immediately
procured assistance at Mr.. Jones's saloon,
and the wounded man was taken to DR..
Weisiger's Office. Upon examination it
was found that the ball had entered the calf
of the left leg and ranged downward, going
out just above the ankle. The wounded
mans account of the shooting is contradic-
tory, and leaves the affair in mystery. He
said at first that he was shot by " two id
white Republicans" and afterwards he said
that negro shot him. The police authori-
ties here are diligently engaged in ascertain
ing the truth of the matter. The wound is
4 flesh one, and not serious.

A NEVADA CAvE.--Some prospectors have
RECENTLY discovered and are now exploring
an extensive cave in Prospect mountain.
The mouth Of the cave is situated on the
southeast side of the mountain about two
hundred rods south of the mouth OF the
Prospect Mountain tunnel, and consists OF
small aperture in the top OF the ground.
Through this aperture q man was lowered,
fastened to a rope, and found himself in a
large dome-shaped chamber. In the floor
of this chamber he discovered another open
ing leading downward further into the
ground, but this aperture was not at that tlme
entered. Subsequently tunnel was run
into the mountain from the surface
which opened an entrance into the
chamber which the man had entered, and
here windlass was put up, and further ex-
plorations begun. The man was lowered
down for distance Of about one hundred
feet. when he rested on the floor OF large
cavern, distant from the natural entrance OF
the cave at the surface about one hundred
feet. On the floor of this cavern was piled
a bank OF snow about eight feet In depth,
and here were found the skulls and bones
of coyotes and deer. Some OF these bones,
which are covered with mud which had
dried on them, were brought to town.
There is a third aperture leading into the
ground from the cavern, which will be ex-
plored by the parties who discovered and
are working the cave. There is pessibil-
ity that mine may be encountered in the
explorations, as Prospect mountain is
yeined and dotted with mineral deposits,
end il ore is found the parties who ind it
will have ready-made shaft to work with.

The Next Senate.

The present terms OF twenty-five United
States senators expire in March next. The
names OF these senators are Messrs. Gold
thwaite, Clayton, Salisbury, Norwood, Lo-
gan, Wright. Harvey, Stevenson, West,
Blaine, Boutwell,, Ferry, Window, Alcorn.
Hitchcock, Cragin, Frelinghuysen, Ransom,
Kelly, Anthony, Robertson, Cooper, Hamil-
ton, johnson. and Davis. Nine Of these are
Democrats, fourteen Republicans, and two
Independcnt Republicans-Messrs. Robert
son and Hamilton. Two other senatorial va
cancies remain to be tillcd-Viz., those in
Louisiana and West Virginia, occasioned by
the rejection OF the claim Of Pinchback to
seat, and the death OF Senator Caperton.
! The successors Of several OF these senators
have already been chosen. Governor hlrk-
wood Republican), OF Iowa, has been
chosen to succeed Mr.. Wright (RepublicanG
Mr. Beck (Democrat) to succeed Mr. Ste
venson Democrat), OF Kentucky; Mr.. La
mar Democrat) to succeed Mr.. Alcorn Re-
publican), OF mississippi; Mr.. Rollins IRE
publican) to succeed Mr.. Cragin (Repub-
| iican). OF New Hampshire; and Gov
ernor Coke DemocraD to succeed Mr..
Hamilton Independent Republican,, Of
Texas. Messrs. Anthony (Rep.), of Rhode
Island, and Johnston (Dem.), Of Virginia,
have already been elected to succeed them
selves. Messrs. Goldthwaite (Dem.), Clay
ton (Rep.), Salisbury Dem.,, Norwood
(Dem.), West Rep.l Frelinghuysen Rep.),
Ransom Den.l Kelly Dem.) Robertson
lind. Rep.), Cooper Dem.l and Davis
(Denl.). will undoubtedly be succeeded by
Democrats, and the Louisiana and West
Virginia vacancies will be filled by Demo-
Gratis. Politically, the parties in the
present Senate may be divided into
81 Republicans, , Independent Repub-
licans, and 30 Democrats. 1t is,
therefore. easy to see that after March
ith next the Senate will be much more
evenly divided, and that bare Democratic
majority is among the possibilities. The
Republicans will gain two senators, how
ever. from the new State Of Colorado, and
consequently the Senate, after March 4th
next, will consist of seventy-six members.
4 careful estimate makes the Senate after
that date stand forty Republicans against
thrty-siX Democrats, but this is based on
presumption that Messrs. Logan, Harvey,
Blaine, Boutwell,, Ferry, Window, and
Hitchcock will be succeeded by Republic
cans. Should any two OF these senator's be
succeeded by Democrats the Senate would
stand thirty-eight to thirty-cight, and with
a Democratic presiding officer in the person
OF Mr.. Hendricks would have majority OF

Admission of New cter
OF tho Pe0ple.
Letter to New York TImes.

llsctter 70 new fork Times.
II is generally understood that the bill for
the admission Of New Mexico, which passed
the House at the last session Of Congress, Is
to be urged again with new advocates and o
strong lobby at the coming session. But
should it by any means get through the
Senate with amendments and go back to the
House 1t is not likely to meet with
the same favor as was shown it last
spring. The Democrats who so generally
voted for the Colorado bill were assured
by the Democratic delegate then represents
ing that Territory in Congress that there
was not particle OF doubt but that the new
State would go Democratic, and send two
senators and representative to swell the
list OF Confederates in Congress; and the
same promises almost secured the passage oil
the New Mexico bill. The late election in
Colorado has been clean Republican
sweep, and the disgusted opposition will
not at present he found trying their hand
any more to create Democratic States out OF
our western Territories. There are several
good reasons why New Mexico should moi
be admitted as a State. It's people do moi
desire it, and its population and pro-
grcss are not sufficient to justify It,
1t is in no sense progressive state
Its people are not OF us. 1t is pretty
much what Daniel Webster pictured
California to be when in 1850 the
bill for admitting that State was under dis
CUSTOM" A land Of rocks and deserts,
with rattlesnakes enough to fence it," Some
extravagant statements have been made in
support Of the fitness Of this Territory for
admission. Her population, which the cen
sus of 1870 placed at 91,S70 Gnclnding
80, 900 Indians), has been figured out to be
100000 white citizens in 1876. ANY one
who has been in the habit of making trips
through the settlements and plazas is fully
aware that il there has been any change in
population at all in the past six years it
has been falling OF instead Of gain.
There are fewer Americans than there Were
in 1872, and the natural increase among the
Mexican families has been offset by the emf
grafton into Old Mexico. There are not
over $4,000 residents, Mexican and Ameri-
can, in New Mexico, and of this number
not one half exercise the rights Of citizen
ship. They are generally content to live in
their adobe huts and till their ranches or
tend their flocks without neighbors to annoy
them, using their hired help as slaves, never
reading books or newspapers, and never SO
happy az when in ignorance Of what is going
on in the world. The most numerous in
habitants are the joint offspring Of Poems
and Indians, with an adherence OF schools.
