Rev. Nj. Gardner and the Religious
impGst0r.

The following statement Of Rev
Mr.. Gardner in reference to an a flair
that excited some attention in this
community last week will be read with
interest:
One day last spring, man by the
name Of Randall came to my house
protesting to be an Evangelist, labor
ing among paupers and criminals. Ha-
wing been victimized several times by
men of this sort my suspicious were
excited. | investigated him closely,
but he produced such a number of tes-
timonials about his work that my fears
were allayed and | treated him kindly.
About three months ago he called
again. He told me he had made ar
engagements with the pastors of the
Methodist churches in Cumberl'd and
Piedmont to take up collections in his
behalf ANA asked me to do the same.
| consented to do so. On this occas-
ion he remained at my house for four
days. While in town he contracted
with the editor of the Joaumcl to have
some printing done, promising to pay
with the money he was expecting from
me. On Monday l paid him the
mount received. Instead of settling
his bill, he paid the printer few dol
lars and started off to Pittsburg, or
dering the goods to be sent G. o D..
This was done, and in short time they
were returned with additional charges.
When my attention was called to this
| discovered that the fellow had been
making misrepresentation to Mr..
Oder and myself Shortly afterward
learned from Rev. Hagey that he had
refused to have anything to do with
Randall. ! now saw that | had been
imposed upon that in order to obtain
a collection from my congregation he
had told me willful and deliberate
lie. | now made inquiry by mail
a olt his standing elsewhere and found
that he was generally regarded as
bad character.
VII w CNtHcSNul CcC. A-u last he came
to my house again. 1t so happened
that Mr.. Oder was there at the time
and witnessed the interview between
us. asked him to explain his dis
honest conduct. Without attempting
to do this he assumed defiant air and
assured me that he was not to be scar
ed by me. He then remarked, among
other things, that "other men did Mt
pay their debts, and he didn't see why
| should talk to him in this way
"Why" said he "this Is nothing. / oave
fifteen hundrod dollars and hav'nt a
cent to pay it with l asked him
whether he intended to 90 on in this
dishonest way, contracting debts,
without a probability of paying them,
81 certainly do" said he u am not re-
sponsible to you or any one else for
what | do The low moral sense dis
played by these remarks, satisfied Inc
that he wa a thoroughly bad man.
| continued for sometime to expostu-
late with him on the sinfulness Of his
course. used plain and emphati3
language, as it was my duty tc do, in
reprovinga man who had deceived me

l.. NJ. GARDNER,
Pastor of NJ. +. Church.

A letter to the Ncac York Tr1bune
says: The bitter experience Of those
who engaged in mining years ago
when mining was in its infancy has
prevented people from investigating
the present condition of our mines.
During the last ten years, however
there has been a great change in min
ing. The few mel who believed in
mines have been steadily at work.
They have developed mines and dis
covered new lodes, and from the pro-
duct of their mineral veins have
grown rich. 1t is now time for the
enterprising capitalists to take hold of
mining and make it a legitimate bus
mess. The geological theory was that
the gold and silver veins were forced
mp from below in liquid state by
volcanic action. The miners have
demonstrated that the mineral veins
grow larger and richer as they follow
them down, and undoubtedly were
forced up in the assures of rock, and
that the true mineral veins are the
surplus overflow from the large bodies
of native ore below. Deep mining has
become the settled policy of all min
ers, and instead of one bonarza in the
United States, we shall by and by
have hundreds. Organized capital
under intelligent management with
deep mining will reach the source
of the thousand gold and silver
veins our miners are now working.

of religion. At length I told him that
unless he settled his bill in given
time, l would expose him through the
public prints as an impostor, This
declaration closed the interview. |
asked him to leave the house and not
come back again. On his way to the
door not a word passed between us.
From my house lie went directly to
Esquire Weiss and solemnly swore
that he was afraid | would make a
personal assault upon him, in order
to have Inc bound over to keep the
peace. This is TIE history of the whole
affair. | pr sumo he thought if he
would do this | would be deferred from
exposing him publicly. There is no.
thing religious impostor breads so
much as exposure of his villiany to the
public upon whom he expects to 1--we

The gold mines of Southern Califor-
MIA are attracting attention. Some Of
them have been extensively work
ed during the past season with salts
factory results. The Kernville Mine,
belonging to Senator Jones, will, it is
said, show a profit OF $4,000,000 on
the twelve months run the Summer
Mine, on the Big Blue Lode, has yield
ed about $65O,00O, and the Panamint
Mine has yielded 100000 during the
past two months. The St. John Mine
started its fine new mill on October
9th, and will hereafter make reg
ular returns. The great mines OH
the Mother Lode Of California show an
increased yield ana a considerable re-
duction in the expenses of mining and
milling.

WITH aegam to our reply to the Herald
hast week, touching the county seat affair,
the Garrett County Gazette says:
The JOURNAL, takes a very sensible view
of the matter, and its arguments are sus-
tanned by opinions given by Attorney
General Syestcr, Hon Reverdy johnson,
and numerous other distinguished gentle
men possessing a thorough knowledge of
constitutional law.
And, what is better they are sustained
by sound common sense. Popular cleo
tons, for places as well as individuals, can
never decide any issue except by the plu-
rality rule. The majority" and "two-
thirds" rules will do for representative
bodics. but their use even there is generally
confined to measures of large importance
or questions affecting the organic law
Applied to popular questions, no matter
how restricted as to interest, its means
could never be relied upon as a final settle
ment. The same questions could be re-
opened and re-sublnltted with all the at
tendant conflicts and bittcrnesses of pride
and prejudice precisely as often ms multi
tude of aspirations would have the right to
emand it.
