HONE AoArN.-R. J. Smith, a we'll /

HoME AaAIN.-R J. Smith, a we'll
known citizen of Lyon county who
left here with his family last Decem-
Der for "a better country" returned
the first part Of this week. After
visiting friends in "the States" early
in the spring he went to the Black
Hills with the intention of going
into business, taking with him
stock of groceries and fixtures for a
restaurant or boarding house. After
looking around he concluded to dis
pose of his goods at Wholesale, being
satisfied that there we're better pros
poets for business elsewhere. He re-
NAMED nine weeks in the Hills, dur
ing which time he prospected the
quartz and placer mines thoroughly.
The placer mines, he gays, are good,
what there are of them, but the
quartz mines bear no comparison to
those Of Nevada. All the ores are
Of very low grade. but they can be
worked with a profit, as wood and
water are plentiful and the ore Is
gold-bearing and free milling, no
pans being required. The gold is
worth SIT per ounce. Mr.. Smith
was glad to get back to Silver City,
and was warmly received by host
Of old friends.

TRACKING A THIEF.


It will be remembered that we
mentioned in our last issue the theft
OF two valuable mules from Wash
Parish on Monday night last. Mr.,
Parish and Bill Geary found the trail
Tuesday forenoon and followed it 90
successfully that the property was re-
covered, though the thief escaped.
The mules we're stolen from Parish's
stables, instead of Shaw's, as has
been reported in some Of the papers'
After informing Sheriff Cooke of the
loss Mr.. Parish was about to start to
Ell Dorado canyon, thinking that the
most probable course IF flight, when
he was hailed by Bill Geary, who
had already discovered the trail Of
the mules. The thief kept out Of the
road and, tsking a route past Como,
continued to the southwark over the
rougnest hills aud mountains, the trail
for miles at times being followed
solely by the marks Of the mules
shoes on the rocks. Finally, at a dis.
lance of about thirty-tive miles from
Dayton and tour miles tom any road,
after climbing very steep hill and
turning over the brow they saw the
mules q short distance down the
slope, but the thief WAS nowhere to
be seen. The mules were 10 half
acre or SO of splendid grass, one
picketed and the other hobbled. The
whole outfit of the thief, includ-
ing the coat he had been wearing,
some new clothing, blankets, provis.
ions, ETC., was captured, and an IN
spection of the articles brought to
light $50.75 and q small memorsn-
dun book.
The book shows the thief's name
to be John Thomas Shields, formerly
of Salem City, Utah county, Utah,
aud it has been learned that he was
employed lately for few weeks
chopping wood near Como. Mr..
Parish thinks, from the route taken,
Shields intended to 60 to Bishop
Creek, California, where he has re-
sided a portion of the time since
leaving Utah, as shown by entries in
the hook.
To account for their failure to see
the thief Mr.. Parish advances two
is that he was asleep
and did not awake until they were
so near he had not time to mount II
mule before they came 10 sight; the
other is that he may have been absent
looking for water, as there was none
at the camp, although the green grass
denoted a springy soil.
Mr.. Parish gives much credit to
Billy Geary for his skill in following
the trail and general aid on the trip.

FoREPAuoH's C1Rcus.-Most Of

many thing that they do not exhibit

"The public can rest assured that
every promise made by Adam Fore
paugh will be fulfilled; that every

would have been no such popular reaction
against the Republican party but for the
mistakes of Grants Administration. Nothing
can make it possible again except repetluon
of those mistakes by President Hayes lhat
there is little or no danger OF this we already
have abundant assurances, not only III the APP
Monuments made and the policy fOreshadowcd,
but, what is more important far, in the calm ana
determined attitude and modest stubbornnesS Oh
the President himself with regard to the car
rving out of his plans. There Is no donbt that
President HAYES will receive the cordial ana
hearty support of his party in pursuing the
policy he has indicated. With such mutual CO.
operation and support the Democrats CANNOT
hone and the Republicans need not fear any
recurrence of the tidal wave OF 1874 Inc
November elections showed how that had spent
its force, and the Republican gains in New
Hampshire on Tuesday in the first election OF
the wear indicate the progress of the ebb.

and meaningless mouthing Of which we shall
hear hardly whisper in less than thirty days.
About the distinct, constitutional, and legal
right of the President to the seat which he
occupies, very little is now said of much cOlIse-
ouence. and that little will presently be less.
The trihng dissatisfaction within the Repub-
lcan ranks is already more than allayed.
We have, therefore, before us four years OF
Republican administration, with every prospect
of tolerably harmonious action. People are
naturally anxious about the policy respecting
the South which will he adopted, but so far
as they now understand what it is to be they
are extremely well pleased with it. Those who
nav not like it should aim their blows at the
measures and not at the man. The piquant
campaign delicacics of dctraction and inyec-
tive are really out of season.

4 GOOD CRY GROHING FAINTER.

GOOD CRl GRGUIAE FAINTER.
The Opposition started off with noble We
hcmcnce upon the settlement of the Presiden-
tial question, and called Mr.. Hayes hard names
with remarkable frankness and freedom.
Fraudulency, Returning Board Hayes, Usurper,
Cheat lmpoSt0r-thcse were among the most
mitigated titles which were bestowed upon
him, while in one newspaper he was plumply
charged with stealing $4,000 of the peoples
money annually. All this, however, did not
alter the fact that he was lawfully elected to
the Office which he holds, and which Of he
should live) he will continue to hold for
four years to come. 1t may be said without
fear of honest contradiction that the people
OF the United States would not submit
peacefully or patiently to anything approach
ing the wrong and outrage which it Is said
has been inflicted upon them; and whoever
insists that there has been such wrong, insults
the people and substantially declares them to
be slaves. We have watched with some care
the indications of feeling throughout the conn
try. We observe no signs of discomfort while
we are sure that there would be civil war if
anything like the crime had been peIpetratcd
of which the few Discontinued talk so much
and de jHre President, nor is there Il shadow
Of doubt about the legality of his title. Nor
do We observe anything more than partisan
dissatisfaction. A great deal is said simply
because discounted party must say some
thing. But the real public feeling is this:
We have at least an honest President. If he
acts in a mistaken way he will do so con-
scientiously and conscientious Presidents. even
of ordinary intelligence. do not often make
mistakes AT any rate, he should have fair
playa full opportunity to develop his policy,
and especially so much of it as relates to the
Cancellation OF the South. If he sticks to his
pledges he will have Ito quote the words of
newspaper which did not support him) "an
overwhelming majority at his back" We
can trust HIM at least at present at any rate,
we will not condemn until he has done some
thing worthy of condemnation.
This is language which we find substantially
use by newspapers which are expected to
lead off in the fiery opposition counsced by
other newspapers not much given to leading.
These have surrendered themselves to miserable
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-03-15
