PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The country has passed through ierce Presiden-
tal contest and the result has been left IN a dan
gerous and unsatisfactory shape, on account OF the
disputes TO the votes of certain States and the
failure Of the Constitution to provide any tribunal
to solve doubts or decide contested points.
GOV. HAYES ELECTED,
From the best light before it The Tribune believes
that Hayes has received lS5 Electoral votes against
l84 for Ilden ano Is therefore entitled TO be inau-
gursted President on the 4th Of March, 1S77. The
highest good OF the South as well as OF the North
would be best promoted by his occupancy OF the
Executive Chair.
DANGER OF ANOTHER WAR
But there are grave apprehensiOns that a rufian-
ly, ravenOus crowd Of Ofice-SeekerS may resort to
candidate into the Office of Chief Magistrate. All
pcace-lOving and law abiding men, irrespective Of

out the Incendisry demagogues who are threaten
ing TO light the torch Of internecine war, which
would bring ruin and destruction upon the country.

ful and exciting Of any since the War. The Trb-

Mr.. Linderman, the director of the
mint, expresses the opinion that at the next
session a plan for the reissue of the silver
dollar will be agieed upon. He says that
all are agreed that it would be desirable to
issue the silver dollars, but nobody wants to
do so in a way that would affect unfavorably
the price OF our bonds. He thinks the plan
agreed upon will answer the demands Of the
silver men, while il will not injure the value
of the bonds. There will, therefore, he in
his opinion a limit to the legal.tender
character of the silver dollar, but he believes
it will be a liberal one.

There seems to be a race out west as 10
which of the two parties will be the first to
get on the silver platform. II is clear
now that the democrats will be the first
in the field, and are determined to pre-
sent the silver issue as the controlling
one in the fall elections. II is notable,
however, that the leading republican
organs of the west, the Cincinnati Com
mercial and the Chicago Tribune, are
strongly committed TO the old silver dol
lar, and it is an open secret that Presi-
dent Hayes is profoundly convinced Of
the unwisdom Of paying the public debt
in dearer currency than that in which it
was contracted. Senator Thurman, Of
Ohio, one of the most high-minded and
conservative democrats in the country,
has come out in a strong argument in
favor OF this "old silver dollar" II is
as certain as any event Of the future,
that when congress meets, there will be
scarcely any effective opposition to silver
as well as gold, being recognized a. a
legal tender for all debts, public rs well
as private.--N ~ Graphic.

PETRIFIED BONES.
Eighty Acres or Fossil Remstns Near siI-
yer Lahe. Oregon.

yer Lake. Oregon.
For several months past we have heard
some of the stock men of this valley speak
of a boneyard some thirty miles east of
here, on the edge Of the desert. Rufus
Dillurd, Jack Parton and Andrew Fos-
ter, stockmen, came in from there last
Monday and brought in large quantity
OF teeth and some large bones. / will
give you their description as near as
can recollect it. These bones are found
in low volcanic sand ridges and alkali
fats, and extend over distance Of four
or FIVE miles in length and about one
mile in width. The bones can be found
on top of the earth and sticking up
through the drifting sands by hundreds
and thousands, from the size OF mouse
upwards. My informant has no knowl-
edge of what lies buried beneath the
sand and alkali fats, and all the speci-
mems were taken from the top OF the
ground. They say there is small
alkali pond at the edge of the
main deposit Of the petriiied bones,
and over an area Of about eighty acres
those bones lie on the ground.
The largest bone measures thirty
inches in length, with no sign of the
knuckle on either end, and from the
shape OF the ends we judge must have
been twelve or fourteen inches longer.
II is perfectly straight and nearly round
in the middle. The circumference of
the large end is sixteen inches, and the
smaller is twelve and half inches. The
next one is slightly curved and rather
fiat, and has two knuckles on the upper
end. We judge ii to be in length,
straight across from tip to tip, twenty
four inches around the curve, twenty
eight inches. This bone is IA perfect rs
it ever was, and IL is petrifed. Now
comes the incest fossil Of the whole, a
part of the under jaw bone, thirteen
inches long, six inches wide at the widest
end, and four inches at the other. One
side of the bone has been split off and
shows six perfect teeth, firmly set in the
Jaw and beautifully petrifed. They
measure across one and one fourth by
one inch. There is another tooth, though
a jaw tooth, that measures two and one
halt inches one way, that has been split
open; could not get the size the other
way. 1t il five and one-hali inches long.
Now comes one of the strangest Of this
strange bone deposit. Vast quantities
of stone arrow heads, such as were
used by Indians, are found through
these bones. II looks as though these
animals were surrounded by water, and
perhaps got poisoned by the water, and
perished by the thousands; then some
chemical properties in the water or
ground petrified them. There are thous-
ands of bones that are not petri6ed.-

Adulterated Food.

The Canadian commissioner Of internal
revenue has been making an analysis of
various articles of food entering into
popular consumption, and the result OF
his Investigations is anything but pleas
ant. In the course of his inquiries the
commissioner analyzed one hundred and
eighty articles of food, ninety-three OF
which. or more than fifty per cent, were
found TO be adultera,ed. Coffee was not
only mixed with chickory but with roasted
peas and beans also. Out OF ten samples
examined, but a single one was pure.
Tea was found to be adulierated with
various noxious weeds and with willow
leaves artificially colored by drugs.
Twenty samples were examined and but
four OF them were found TO be pure.
Two specimens were pronounced by the
commissioners to be "unfit for human
consumption. Out OF fitty-eight sam
pies of milk thirty.four were adulterated,
and out of nineteen specimens OF pepper
but two were free from foreign admix-
lures. All the samples Of ground cloves,
cinnamon, ginger and mustard were
adulterated. The last named article was
discovered to be composed of turmeric
and wheat -four. Allspice had large
proportion of roasted pea meal 1t its
composition, and ground cloves were cked
out with Glove bark, woody fibre and pea
meal. Cinnamon proved to be composed
of cassia bark, pea meal. mustard and
buckwheat husks. The other articles
examined were found to be made up in a
similarly fraudulent manner. such dc
velopments go to show to what an ex.
tent the ordinary every day articles OF
food are tampered with by INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, and TO prove the necessity for
frequent inspection to prevent the frauds
thus practiced on the public.
