Gen. Schenck exhibits more anxiety than
hitherto to relieve himself from the Odium OF

many people in England who will be much
reoced il he can prove that the enterprise is
all that fancy painted it when it was put on
I the London market, and that there are mil
lions in It even at the present hour But
when all that he promises from Utah wit

Schenck's part in the project will not yet be
apparent.
If the picture of the United States Dispatch
Agent which appears in our Washington tele-
grams has been correctly drawn before the
Committee on State Department Expenditures,
it is quite time that England should be re-

expensive one at best-to blackmail the Lon

The Senates amendments remove the moro
Objectionable features of the House bill for
an issue of silver to replace the fractional

be legal tender is reduced from $50 to $50,

point about the Senate bill is that 1t will MAKE
the new coins equal in iinencss TO the Old

Gov. Tilden's War Record.

We have been kept in blissful ig-
nor ance of what Gov Tilden's war
record consisted, but it is beginning
to crop out little. Here is Virgin
ia paper-the Petersburgh Inder ana
AppeaI-whicl goes for Tilden .and
Reform" with all its might. In urg-
ing him upon the Democrats it tells
the following auecdote:
sin 1864, just after the battle OF
the Wilderness, party of gentlemen
were assembled in a room at Wilt
ards, and in the course of an animat-
cd conversation one of them used the
following language: Gentlemen, the
mistake we made was that we did not
turn Mcclellan with his fine army on
Washington and clean out the whole
thing meaning the administration of
Mr.. Lincoln. He who gave utterauce
to this patriotic remark. was Samuel
J. Tilden, for which in future ages be
will ever be held in respect and ven-
Grafton by the patriots of the coun-
try"
As this is good Democratic author
ity, We feel justified in quoting it to
show prec sely what Gov. Tilden's
war views were, and we must admit
that it is in exact harmony with ev-
erything we have learned of the great
reformer during this .nvass.

Accident at Waterloo

On Tuesday the 81 inst, Mary Ann,
the second daughter of Geo. S. john
son of Waterloo, was killed almost in
simultaneously in cane mill. The mill
was in Mr. Johnson's yard near the
house, and had been sold by him. Elk.
pecting it soon to be removed the
daughter was anxious to finish up the
cane they had on hand, and was
working the mill alone; a short time
after she commenced a scream was
heard, and her mother who was first
at he scene, found the horse running
and her daughter entangled in the
mill. She stop ed the horse, but the
girl was so ma g!cd that she breathed
moment only and expired. Her
arm was twice broken and much of
her body mangled and crushed. 1t
took nearly two hours to take the
body out of the mill Mrs. Johnson
held her daughters head till this was
accomplished and then tainted away.
The sight was most horrible, and the
accident the most singular and fear
full that ever happened in this region.
The deceased was an active, energetic
and intelligent girl, about II years Of
age, and was loved throughout the
whole circle Of her acquaintance. Her
sad death will long be felt by all and
her loss will not only be deeply mourn
ed by her relatives but by the whole
community. May she rest in peace,
and may her sudden exit warn all to
take heed to the admonition--''Be we
also ready"

Not O Cent for the War.

A record of persons who contribu-
ted to the expenses of the war in
any considerable amounts was pubs
lished 10 1865, under the name OF
"The Tribute Book" 1t contains
copies Of every subscription paper
known to have been gotten up in the
Northern States. Mr.. 1ilden's name
is not to be found in this book Of 500
pages. In March, 1864, great San
itary Fair was held in New York.
1t requires twenty pages of The
Tribute Book" to record the names
of the contribu,ors-several thou

OK, $4,000, &c The aggregate SUBJ
scriptions amounted TO over 81 351,.
600. Not one dollar was given by
Samuel j. Tiden, then reported to
be worth S. 100000.
On April II, 1861, a subscription
paper was started in New York to
aid ia sending forward the Seventh
Regiment. Forty gentlemen SUBJ
scribed 800 each. Mr.. Tilden sub
scribed nothing. He was then esti-
mated to be worth 50. 100000.
On the 22d of April, 1861, the
"Union Defence Fund" was started.
Mr.. Astor gave 100000; Mr.. Sew
art gave $4,000; Mr.. J G. Bennett
gave $4,000; Mr.. Belmont gave ST.
600; and four hundred other wealthy
gen:l men gave large sums. Mr.
Tilden gave nothing.
About the same tme the bar of
New York called a meeting and
raised a para'e "War Fund.- Mr..
Tilden, although ho is now called
an eminent lawyer" and was then
the wealihiest lawyer in New York
city, did not attend the meeting or
subscribe anything for its purposes.

What a United Souch Will Do.

With a united South an idea may
be formed of what would be accom-
plished if one would look at the num-
Der and amount of bills paying South
ern war claims that passed the House
at The last session. They were 40 in
number and claimed ST. ,585, 26O. In
addition 70 these one bill provides for
the reiunding to the Southern States
certain direct taxes, amounting to 3d.
O92, ITO, and another to refund the
tax paid on raw cotton, from 1862 to
1868, amounting to over sixty-eight
millions of dollars. But tie bill
which would bankrupt almost any 9TH
err country, and for which shameless
ness has no precedent, is the one
which provides for compensation to
the South for the use and occupation
of property by the United States, an
other to pay for stores taken by or fur
nished to the United States army.
This latter includes the use of boats
and vessels. Is the Republican party,
is any patriotic man ready to aid in
the restoration of party which would
only too eagerly pass these bills?
Let it be understood that these bills
pay for things that the army of the
United States had to fight for, and
for which they sacrificed life. Let it
be remembered that the very men to
whom this money goes fought against
the government and tried to destroy
it. Keep in view the fact that while
very large portion of the North
were sustaining the Government by
the payment of taxes of which no re-
fund was ever dreamed Of these men
were not paying one cent by way of
contributions to cid the Government.
On the contrary they were submitting
to enormous taxations every penny Of
which aided the wou'd-be destroyers
ofthe Government, an yet they have
the impudence TO ask the country to
set them on their feet again. Can his
tory roint to anything like IL?

We last week briefly stated the
probability that Colorado had gone
Republican. This week we are able
to say positively that Colorado,
which two years ago gave 1000
Democratic majority, has chosen a
Republican Governor By shout ], 200
majority, a Republican Congressman
and q Legislature twO-thirds Repub-
lican in both houses This secures
two new Republican U. s. Senator'S
and three Hayes and VIII eeler Gle ct
ors.
In Indiana the election vas for q
full State ticket The probability is
that Gen. Harlist n, the Republican
candidate tor Governor, is elected by
small majority. Her present dele
CATION in Con gross stands eight DEM
ocrats and FIVE Republicans. The
chances are We have gained two or
three mem bers, and that the Leglsla-
ture is Republican.
La Ohio only two State Ulcers
were chosen this year The Repaid
licans Fave probably got these. Her
present delegation in Congress
stands Thirteen Democrats and seven
Republicans The returns now look
favorable for the election of twelve
Republicans to eight Dcmocrats-a
gain Of five. The Legislature is be-
lieved to be Republican.
West Virginia was expected to go
Democratic, of course but appear
anccs now are that she has elected a
Republican Governor and GRE or two
Republican Congressmen. Ii so
these are all gins, and the expect
ations were 40 stio7g the ether way
that we can hardly hope FIR favor-
able result.
The October electi ns are now
as. The five northern States that
have row voted, and West Virginia
always do better for the Republicans

Messrs Burrichter & Harris, who
have been working mine in New
California with but "partial" success
having trken out upwards of a mil
lion during the past year-have just
"struck it big" as the miners say, and
bid fair to reap some benefits from
their "ceaseless toil'' and "immense
outlay" They have drifted through
a bar about eighty feet, and have
come to an immense opening or cave,
which is filed with mineral, some
pieces weighing upwards of 1000 TBS.
The cave is filed with muck and wa
ter, and cannot be worked until the
