fornia politician that Mark L. Melon

aspirants. and Ryland third. The argu.
ment used is that Mark. with his money,

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE Bb-
TWEEN GRANT AND SUMNER.

CHICAGO, October ga Tribune
Washington special says: Major Ben.
Perley Poore, who was Senator Sum.
ner's guest at the time Of his estrange-
ment from President Grant, has eI-
planned the cause of the trouble. He
says the removal Of James NJ. Ashley,
ex-congressman from Ohio, from the
governorship of Montana, and the ap-
pointmsnt of Colonel Potts, which had
just happened, was the subject of table
conversation, and letter from Ashley,
protesting against the change. had been
read when the President was announced.
He was received, shown Ashley's letter
and became Immediately excited, de-
nouncing Ashley as a mischief. maker.
The next topic discussed was the San
Domingo treaty. Sumner dwelt especi-
ally upon the expenditure by Genefal
Babcock on San Domingo, OF the large
sum taken from the secret service fund
for promoting intercourse with the West
India islands. which Seward bad pre-
vailed on Thad. Stevens to have inserted
in the appropriation bill during the war.
and the President impressed Sumner
with the idea that he feared AN attack in
congress for that expenditure. Poore
adds: My opinion is that Sumner
thought that the President had come to
enlist his services in defending this ex.
penditure by General Babcock, but the
President mssnt the treaty for the &C.
QUESTION Of the Dominican republic.
The President and the senator misunder-
stood each other. After a while the
President promised to send General
Babcock to call on the senator next day
with copies OF the paper and left. As
sumner escorted him to the door he told
him that he was q Republican, q sup
porter of the Republican administration,
and that he should sustain the admins
tration IN this case. il he possibly could,
after he had examined the papers. He
meant to sustain the expenditure Of
500 900 in cash $3.50, 900 in light bat
terry and muskets purchased at New
York;, but the President meant the
treaty" Major Poore's staten ent thus
removes grave historical doubt. and
seems to set at rest the stories recently
| published OF the cause Of the difficulty
between Grant and Sumner.

THE LAZY CAMP OF COLORADO.

A correspondent of the Engineering
and Mining Journal, writing from
Montezuma, Colorado, gives the follow
ing description of how mining is carried
on at that camp. aud only goes to cor
roborate the stories we have often heard
concerning the Incidence and utter
worthlessness of large number Of the
Colorado miners; in fact, they very
much resemble the 49er OF California
which a person frequently meets while
travelling through the interior Of the
Golden State. who will sit down and
tell you wonderful tales about old times
for several hours just for the sake OF get
ting drink or two:
1t is curious camp, this Montezuma.
As approach the doorway Of the one
store OF the town, rather stout but
handsome and gstic.looking woman
was standing on the porch, regarding
with visible contempt, o group Of ragged,
dirty miners, who, ranged side by side
against log building. were lazily smok-
ing away their valuable time. Her fine
strong face showed in its deep lines
years of hard and monotonous labor on
the frontier, such as comes to the pic.
neer woman alone. As she gazed on,
one of the idlers looking stupidly at the
heavy cloud which rested on the sharp
peak of Glacier Mountain said, "There'll
be q storm tonight. boys. and then
good-by to this fine weather; we'll have
two feet OF snow in ten hours. How can
q poor devil OF miner make anything
in this countryr' I'm tell ye how"

contempt finding utterance at last, if the
gulch was swept from end to end, and

ley, the camp would liven up. There
wouldn't be above ten decent men left
in the town. but theyd do more than q
hundred like ye." I. was rather cut
ting criticism, but nevertheless true.
A social upheaval is needed in Snake
River District. II nins.tenths Of all the
old settlers and four.tifths of all the new
corners were shipped down the canyon
into the Middle Park and drowned in
the hot sulphur springs, though the
transaction might ruin the park, it
would benefit Montezums. A less eper-
getic and more lazy mining camp does
not exist. The stranger, coming Into
town at any time during the summer,
finds all the inhabitants sitting around
the saloons smoking and bewailing the
of the place. The monot-
ony of the day is broken only by meal
time. On the mountains it ia difficult to
find laborer. although the hills are
ribbed with magnificent silver veins.
The Montezuma miner, having found a |
lode, scratches along it's surface till a
spot is found where the mineral crops
out in large body. Here he spends q
weeks labor in digging away the dirt
from the ore, carefully abstsining from

done, his mission in life is apparently
