DoEs MINING pAY.-Thousauds
in this county can answer this ques-
ton in the affirmative. Here is a
case in point. The Craig mining
Company at New Diggiugs was
started several years ago; the object
being to run level and unwater a
piece Of ground that was believed to
be rich in mineral wealth. Outside
capital could not lie secured, 50 3
number OF poor working lnun took
hold, had working interest, and
with The aid of some home capital
pushed the ENTERPRISE. The COM
pany consisted of 20 shares, and at
the annual report of January /, 1875,
II was found that the work had cost
$500 a share $4,000; all this out
lay and as yet no income. The men
were not, however, discouraged, and
20 again went TO work with perse-
verance aud determination only un-
derstood 10y miners. Their work
was then nearing completion, and as
expected soon began Ia pay, and has
Haid monthly dividend ever since.
At the report just made, ;. January l,
1876, the dividend pail during lie
year had amounted 10 sa.75O, S395 a
share or oue-Aalf the cost OF eogstruc-
lion. The prospects are now hettor
than at any previous time, the COM
panl Is at very little expense, have
only few hands at work, but have
Snb-leta large TRACT Of grousl that
Is rich in mineral, and Il iSdottcd an
over with miners working un their
own account, every one Of whom is
making it pay and willingly pays =
large percentage 20 tho company

TIE ARTEsIAN WELL.-We are

and we take this way of answering
them.
The Artesian Well at Prairie du
Chen began to flow when a depth of
212 feet had been reached. II has
been sunk 600 feet deep, aad' flows
more water than is yet known what
TO do with. The water has n pecu-
liar, but not an unpleasant taste.
1t contains some mineral that acts
quickly upon the kidneys. We haze
the statement Of prominent rhysic-
ians that this artesian well water is
powerful "emagogue" in its effect,
and should be used with care in Ger
tain cases. The volume Of water
seems TO increase instead Of diminish
and furnishes this city all the "wsteg
works they can make available

The Situation,

Public attention is now fixed upon the
states of Louisiana and Florida, South Caro-
lima being abandoned by the Democrats. For
the official count in these two states we may
have to wait week yet. Iu Louisiana the
canvassing board has got to work, but will of
necessity make slow progress, as the evidence
as to fraud and intimidation in the terrorized
parishes must he carefully sifted. In Florida
the Democrats are attempting the Tweed
Tilden plan of keeping back the returns
from the counties in their interest until they
discover how many votes they want and how
large Republican majority there is to
overcome. But the plan, now that it is dis
covered, will miscarry. The official count in
Florida has not yet begun. All the indica-
tions still point to a decisive Republican
victor, in both states

A CHOICE of President by popular vote,
and the abolition of the Electoral College,
proposed by some persons as sure method
of avoiding such complications as at present
is not favorably received by the prominen
men who have declared their sentiments on
the snbject. Senator Conkling believes that
under any other system there would be the
same difficulty iu counting the votes. Gov.
Seymour says that it is distinctive feature
of the Constitution to guard the rights Of
minorities, and that this would be endan-
gered by popular vote. Prof. Dwight Of
the Columbia College Law School, is also of
of the opinion that this method would render
smaller states less important, tend to con-
solidation, and materially change the organi-
zation of the Government. 1t is likely that
the present electoral system will be the topic
of considerable discussion hereafter. Sena-
tor Morton has already brought the question
before the Senate, but no positive action WINS
taken. A Amodifcation of the present meth
cd is proposed in what is known as the dis
trict plan, by which each State is divided in
to electoral districts, and the people in each
vote for their own elector as for member OF
Congress. The probabilities are, therefore,
that the Electoral College will remain, al
though the manner of its election may be
changed by future constitutional amend
ment.

The Louisiana Case.

In the five parishes of Louisiana where an
apparent Democratic majority has been cb-
tanned by intimidation and fraud, 1884 col
ored and 5.074 white voters are registered.
In 1872 these parishes gave a Republican ma
jority of 5, ,0S7, and in 1874 of 1919. To-day
they are returned as giving Democratic ma
jority of 4,416. This enormous discrepancy
calls for investigation. The Democrats in
sist that the change is due to the colored
voters who abandoned the Republican
party. Let us see about that.
In thirty-three of the Louisiana parishes
the colored vote exceeds the white. Throw
ing aside the five disputed parishes the re-
naming twenty-eight gave in 1874 Repub
lcan majority of 1916. They now give,
according to Democratic returns, 20,964
Republican majority. In these twenty-eight
parishes the Democracy have made no gains
in the colore6 vote. The negroes, as they
have always done, vote the Republican ticket.
Still, in face Of this record in twentv-eight
parishes, weia told that in the five other
parishes there was complete political revo-
AeoAOh3 ShSS thS hSStOSo III d UOuI tOtCo tuC
Democratic ticket, that in one of the five
parishes there were only three Republican
votes cast, and in another that not one was
cast. The claim is absurd. On fair ballot
the return is menstrously improbable. With
no symptoms of change in twenty-eight
colored parishes we are asked to believe that
there was complete revolution in five. The
pretense is fraudulent on its face, and the
returns legitimate subject for investigation.
But the Democrats insist that these re
turns shall be accepted as they stand, with
out inquiry, that they must be counted If
they are fraudulent, that outrages upon the
ballot box shall not be investigated. Disre-
garding their favorite doctrine of state rights
they insist that the laws of Louisiana in re-
gard to the conduct of its elections and the
canvass of its vote shall be violated. The
law expressly provides that the state canvass
ing officers shall investigate any Statements
of riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidation,
armed resistance, bribery or corrupt infu-
ences at any poll or voting place, and if they
become convinced that the purity and free
dom of the election have been materially in
terfered with, they shall not canvass or COM
pile the statement of such votes, but shall ex-
clude it from their returns" The Democ-
racy insist that this law shall be violated, that
the returning officers shall disregard their
oaths, and that the returning board shall
count the returns without question.
This is the condition of the Louisiana case.
The Republicans insist there shall be faii
count, and that wherever the freedom and
purity of the ballot box have been disregarded
there shall be a thorough Investigation. The
Democrats insist that returns, however
fraudulent, shall be counted without ques
ton.

comparing the South to Poland. There is
one striking point of resemblance, it must be
confessed. In Poland the Russian soldiers
drag men from their beds at night and escort
them to the Siberian bound trains. In the
South the White-Leaguers drag negroes and
white Republicans from their beds at night
and escort them to the bounds of the Hereaf-

justice is done the White-Leaguers will do es.
