It is thought the civil service reform
rules will not be ready for promulga-
ton for nearly a week. From private
u~tterapces of the President, it is in
ferred that all Federal officers will be
prohibited from taking an active part
in political manifestations, or becom.
ing mem oers Of political committees.
The President, in a recent converse
ton on the subject, said while the en-
forcetment of such a rule might work
some injury to the Republican party
for a little while 60 come it was sound
in principle, and he would insist upon
It's being strictly observed. In the
end he thought the Republican party
would be benefited by it. 1t was
brought to the Presidents attention
yesterday, that in large cities like Bos-
ION, New York and Baltimore, the
manipulations of Republican primary
elections, had for year been mainly

Federal officials. The. President said
he was cognizant of all these facts,

Mr.. Snowden has lately made "A re-
port on the reopening of the Mint at
Charlotte, N. Ca, and on the gold
mines Of that State. He favors the de-
~yelopment of the mines and the re-
opening of the Mint. The mines have
hitherto prod lced from II to 20 mil
lions. Kings Mountain, or the CASTOR
mine, should produce not less than
$4,000 per mouth if the deposit holds
out, of which there seems nc doutt,
from a personal examination OF the
mines, if worked to the full Ca pac,ty.
IF the placers were properly worked
North Cardinals gold production
should be what it VAS before the gold
deposits in California Were discovered,
between 81 900 GOO and 81, 900 600 per
annum. Some of the South Carolina
mines, such as the Brew er, Hale aud
others, would send their bullion to
Charlotte, but none OF these mines are
in operation at present. The hou

appears that the mines of this region
have heretofore contributed a c0n,id
cradle amount of the precious metals to
the mining institutions OF our coun-
try, and it further abundantly ap
pears that these mines are rich in
gold producing ores, and that many Of
them are yet undevcloped, aud thus
are capable of yielding a large increase
to the annual supply Of gold in our
country.
WASHINGTON, jane %.
Sherman to day directed that the

tary has also directed that a million
dollars in gold shall be sold for green

NEW YORK. June %.
A "Sun" Washington special says:
In spite Of the oft repeated denials,
l have cumulative evidence OF an Ai-
ministration scheme to seize the five
northern States OF Mexico. Agents
came here early in The fall. They may
have expected encouragement froui
the Democrats had Tilden been elected.
One of the leading spirits in The
scheme was a Democrat, and several
Southern Democrats were let into the
secret, but whatever their expectations
in this direction may have been, it is
certain that they SOC discovered their
chances were infinitely better with
the other side. Immediately after the
Inauguration and confirmation of the
Cabinet, ex Senator Stewart, of Neva-
da, had an interview with Secretary
Evarts and disclosed to him the out
lines Of the plan. Evarts was anxious
tn have all the details, and thereupon,
at the request OF Eyarts, Stewart lele-
graphed 10 General John b. Frisbie, of
California, who had been here during
the winter as one Of the leading spirits
in the enterprise, To come forthwith to
Washington. lie came in response ,o
this summons, and had a long inter-
view with Evarts, and disclosed to him
all the plans. The plan was approved
by Evarts and Ffjsbie was cDcour-
aged t such a degree that he immedi-
ately returned to his home at Vallejo,
California. After arranging his bust
ness he left quietly, and still Is absent.
