WASHINGTON, D. G.,
March 20, 1876.

Those diamonds, those sparkling,
costly brilliants, which the Khedive,
in his admiration for General Shcr-
man, presented to his fair daughter,
still lie in the custom house wasting
their dazzling hues in the dark and
dusty labyrinth of those secluded
quarters. Three months from the
present they will be in the category
of unclaimed goods, and will be sold
for duties and charges. Congress
some time since fell into a generous
mood, and conferred the privilege
upon Lieut.. Fitch of receiving the
rare present, but failed to remit the
duties, which amount to the enormous
sum of $40, 900. To give hat great
sun for a present seems novel, and,
as therevenue officials arenot disposed
to grant a free permit for the
diamonds, they seem fated to 60 to
the highest bidder. There is more
than n woman in this fashionable
and rapid age of ours who would
willingly climb in a back window of
that-custom house, bind and gag the
officer, and forcibly release those
pretty stones from the stern clutches
Of the revenue law. But they keep
a ten-penny nail over the window,
and the feat is thus made impracti-
cable.

The Coming Great Blast.

1t is scarcely possible to form an
adequate idea of the magnitude of
this work without a personal inspec-
ton. From the ~forty-one headings
which radiate from the shaft like the
ribs of a fan, and the ten eccentric
galleries, the outermost of which is
$50 feet long, and twenty feet deeper
than the level of the bottom of the
shaft, a mass of rock as large as the
New York Post Office has been
patiently excavatcd. The roof and
the lib pillars left to support it
bristle with plugs driven in the drill
holes, and the Gathering, busy air
drill is at work all the time making
new borings, about five feet apart to
make up the grand total of at least
$4,000 places for the nitro glycerine
charges. From chinks in the rock
there is a~constant downpour of
water, which cannot be excluded and
to remove which powerful pumps are
kept running day and night. Through

pillars. n sees strange forms of ice
like stalactites and stalagmi: s

PRESIDENTIAL.

We hoped to be able to lay before our
readers to-day, the results Of the Cincin.
natl Convention, which met yesterday,
but that body did not accomplish much
beyond the appointment Of a committee
on credentials, and make some speeches.
Edward Mcpherson, for long time clerk
.of tie House Of Representatives, was cho-
sen permanent President. Mr.. Blaine has
at least one hundred more delegates than
,any other candidate, and 1t is said that the
followers Q { Conkling, Morton and Brls-
,tow, are seeking combination whereby
to accomplish his defeat. lie tone ofthe
dispatches indicates that, if Mr. Blaine
should fail, Governor Hayes will De the
cautiidate whom the opposing,factions can
unite upon With the greatest unanimity.

strength recently, but although he is in

does not seem probable that be will re-
ceiye the nomination. Neither Morton or
Conkling arc any longer regarded as like.
u in any event to win, hence either Blaine
II Jewell or Hayes, will most likely be
successful. The tone of the speeches
made yesterday indicates that the Con-
Sention realize the magnitude Of the work
which the Republican party has before
them, and We are likely to get au;enuncia-
ton Of principles aud suggestion Of poll
cy which will meet the wishes Of rcpubli-
cans and secure their earnest support of

and there shot and killed. As to carry the
body back to Sacramento would require a
considerable expenditure of money, for
which there would be no return, his cap.
tors simply cut off the bandits head, plac.
ed it in large glass jar, and with this
gastly trophy set out for Sacramento to
claim the reward. But the authorities re.
fused to pay over the money till the head
had been identified, and so the captors,
still carrying the horrid evidence of their
right to the reward, went to San Juan,
where Chcvcz had formerly resided, and
soon returned again with af1ilayits of
competent witnesses that the decapitatcd
head was that which had once rested on
the robbers shoulders. They were then
informed that the appropriation had been
misapplied, and that there was no funds
with which to pay the reward. This shut

Marshal Harrington has been in Office
