Now, he added, make list of the sure
Republican states, [ have no doubt we
shall agree as to all of them"
Correspondent-Ve Very well, here is my
list, including Colorado, which will be ad-
mitted this winter:
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1876-01-03

need 54 more electoral votes out of the "A
considered debatable. The Republicans,
however, need only 81, and can lose New
York, New Jersey, aud Connecticut, or
New York, Indiana, and Oregon, and still
elect the president The Democrats cam
not possibly get 81 of the "A dehatable
votes, without the 35 of New York, and
must therefore carry this state or be
beaten.
This estimate, it is obvious, would be
entirely worthless if Grant should be re-
nominated He could not carry Wiseon-
sin, in which the Republican majority in
November was less than 1000; he could
not carry either Ohio or Massachusetts, in
which the Republican majority was then
only about 5000, and it is quite likely that
he would be beaten in New Hampshire,
Minnesota, and Illinois, Almost
any Democrat can probably be elected
against Grant, if the Republicans should
be so insane as to nominate HIM. Against
any Republican peculiarly representing
Grantism, the Democrats would!be morally
certain to carry not only New York and
the other doubtful states. but Wisconsin,
Ohio, and New Hampshire. But if the
Republicans nominate a candidate who
fairly satisfies the reform element Of the
party, New-York becomes absolutely
necessary to Democratic but not to Repub
lican success.
Such estimates are of no value except
as they help the wiser and better men Of a
party to shape its action. IF the purest
and best Democrats prevail in convention,
as they have prevailed in the organization
of the house. there wiz be possibility OF
their carrying this state. IF the Repub
Leans. on the other hand, nominate a
candidate who satisfies the best and purest
element of that party. they will not only
hold the states now counted as Republican
but will make it impossible for the Demo
Gratis to succeed except with a candidate al
least equally satisfactory TO the people q
this and other debatable states. A Demo
cratic convention will be :crazy if it doe,
not take care to secure the vote OF thi'
state; Republican convention will b.
crazy if it does not take care ito secure thu
confidence and support Of the Independent
voters.
Thus viewed, the situation does no
seem to US to justify the gloomy antici
pations which some worthy citizens enter
tain. 1t is not very likely that the Re
publican and Democratic Conventions vii
both be cntrolled by madmen, especially i
the latter should meet first, Republican
must realize. when they come to look eacl
; in the face, that delegates from fiIteel
states which cannot give the candidate
single electoral vote have no right to fore
Grant upon the party to its destruction
Democrats must r alize swhen they look a
the facts candidly, that they have n
chance of success except by uncomnromi
sing administrative reform, and unwaver
ing fidelity to the national honor.

From the Regular Correspondent Of the Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29, prominent
Democratic congressman-one of the halt
dozen men who are expected to shape the
action of the house this winter-came to
this city yesterday, He is we'll schooled
in national politics. has experience and
sagacity, never allows his desires to run
away with his Judgment, and is. all in all,
as careful a man in his calculations and
predictions as can be found among the
Democratic legislators at Washington. In
conversation with me he opened his budget
OF estimates on the result OF the next
presidential election.
Give me a sheet of paper, he said,
'and | will show you my figures. Mind,
they are based upon the present political
situation. Nobody can tell what changes
the next six months may bring about. We
may make great deal of capital during
the present session by our retrenchments
and investigations, and thus be set a long
way ahead of our present position; on the
other hand, President Grant may get the
country into a war with Spain and thus
change the whole aspect of the polltica
field, Taking things as they are, how
ever | will make list of electoral vote!
of which the Democratic party is sure, n,

it was evident that something unusual
was exciting the Oriental mind. Pres
emily a shot was fired and a Chinaman
was seen streaking it like the wind up
the street in the direction of the Hoo
sac furnace, followed by a crowd of his
moon eyed brethren, shouting and
yelping like a thousand coyotes. Sheriff
Gilmore WAS standing on the corner OF
Main and Bateman streets, and pre-
summing that some crime had been COM
United, Joined in the pursuit. He over
took he fugitive lea the Atlas fur
mace, and upon inquiry found that he
had shot n ChinanIan named All Wah,
it WAS then supposed, fatally. He
took the shooter into custody and was
bringing him down To the Jail, followed
by a crowd of excited Cinnamon ana
white men, and when about halfway
from the corner of the Courthouse to
the Jail, on Bateilan street, "China
Charley" rushed mp to the prisoner,
who was walking between the
Sheriff and Corporal La Force,
and attempted to strike him.
Sheriff Gilmore let go of the
prisoner, whose ma ne is All Long,
to catch hold of Charley" when All
Nook, the brother of All Wah. rushed
up with "a six shooter and fired a shot
at All Long, the ball passing through
the left arm and into the left side, i'll
ficting a wound which the physicians
think cannot but terininate fatally. All
NOOK attempted to fire a o shot
when he MAS seized by the Sheriff, who
took his pistol away and beat him W tn

he would relinguish his efforts to take
summary vengeance upon the supposed
slayer of his brother. Both Of tho Chi

was scarcely a possibility of his recov-
cry. Il was at first reported that All
Wah was fatally shot, but he received
only a flesh wound in the thigh and
has sustained nc serious injury. All
Wah and his brother All Nook are
members OF the Ming Yung Company,

THE BLACK HILLS.

We understand that Mr.. Salisbury
has lately te~legraphed to Jack Gilmsr,
his partner here, to gather up all The
spare coaches and horses of the firm
and ship them to the Black Hills.
Doubtless there will be some paying
stage lines in that section for the sum
mer, whether or not there are good
mines in the country. AS a matter of
fact, the news from reliable parties in
the mines Is not at all encouraging.
We append the following very straight
forward letter frcm the Helena hide
pendent of March I'd, the reliability OF
the author being vouchsafed tor, as will
be seen, by the editor OF that journal:
We propose to give the public the
first reliable statement concerning that
country which has yet been received.
For this information we are indebted
to w. w. Marin, we'll known here as
an intelligent and reliable gentleman.
Mr.. Martin came to Montana in 1867,
and, although a carpenter by trade, he
has been engaged in mining in this
country, and Processes to be familiar
with that business. He describes the
Black Hills AS a mountain range run
ming nearly east and west, encircled by
w considerable streams, the Belle
Fourche on the north west, which is fed
by Sand, Iron, Red, White, and Dry
creeks; while on the southeast is the
South Fork of the Big Cheyenne, into
which flow Box Elder, Rap d, Castle,
Spring and French creeks. all of which
creeks have their PURGE in the Black
Hills. The country drained by the
Belle Fourcho and the South Fork of
Big Cheyenne, covers an area of coun.
try of 100 by $50 miles. The question
as to the existence Of gold in this coun-
try i'm paying quantities is one of alb
sorbing interest TO a large num-
Der of people, and Mr.. Martins
unvarnished statement may he re-
lied upon; and his answer TO
the question is, that, while gold has
undoubtedly been found there, the
only persons he knows of who have
had any success are a Montana party
of nine men, called Florida Il Co., who
have been mining for nine months at
the lower end of French creek, and
have succeeded in taking out about
5000. The gravel there is very loose,
and the pay is all found on bedrock,
and is coarse. The creek is about 80

is not sufficient water to work. He ar
rived in the Hills about the middle OF
December, and left there the 18th of
January. During this time he visited
all the camps OF the southeast side,
and saw but little mining being done.
But wherever he went he heard Of
rich discoveries a little further north;
vet the men of Buchanan's party from
Montana reported having found no
gold ia the Wind river country. The
most extravagant stories are told and
believed of great strikes, but the own
ers OF fabulously rich mines are known
to be on short rations. All the ground
has been laid over until the first of
April; so that but very little work has
been DONE"
