THE testimony before the House Com

conclusively that the Republicans were
the intimidators. 1t is fragrant outrage
that negroes who were inclined to vote
the Democratic ticket had to either re

the protect on of white men, and
yet, with all their intimidation,
they lost the State by from 5000
to 10000. Then, with their Returning
Board agency they threw out the votes of
Democratic parishes, upon evidence
of one or two isolated cases of outrsges,
which had no political significance what

person knows it to be true, and now we

SILVER AND LEAD In WEST VIZ
GINIA.

II seems that notwithstanding the de.
veloped resources of West Virgins, new
mines Of wealth are continually being
opened up. The Pittsburgh Commercial
gives the following account of a promis.
ing bonanza that has been struck in this
State:
The report of the finding of silver and
lead IN West Virginia has created con-
siderable interest here. Mr.. j. J. Roe
mer, President of the Bullion Mining
Company, Of this city, on whose LANDS
the valuable metals are said to have been
found, furnishes the following infor.
nation: In the spring of 1874. Mr.
Butler, of Laurel run, in the same re-.
gion, found piece of almost pure lead
IN Decker's run, and on smelling
the same for the purpose of making bull
lets solid silver remained. MIR. Barney
OConnor found lead in Quarry run, and
made shot, bullets and plummets of
the same. This attracted the attention
OF practical geOiogist and miner, and
be made report as follows: That quartz
bearing silver and lead is found in sufi
clent quantity to induce operation there,
that the same is found in veins of from
one-eightn inch to twoinches thickness on
the outcrop, that the veins grow larger
and run southeast that these veins are
imbedded in hard slate encased in primi.
tive rock of the antediluvian formation
which is dotted with hyrotes of iron,
which pyrites of IRON are exIde, and that
good t.srrs .. Z Id are found in the same
formation.
The value of the ores as up to the
present time found, in comparison of the
North Carolina ores of similar kinds,
are worth from 81 so to So per hundred
pounds. The lands in which these dis
coveries are made are located on both
sides of Cheat river, in the counties of
Monongalis and Preston, in the State OF
West Virginia, and are from the place
OF mining distant nineteen miles from
Uniontown, Pa, twelve miles from Gene
Va, Pa, and six miles from Morgan
town. w. Va. Here is fresh field for
enterprise, industry and ingenuity.
