PRESIDENT HAYES AND HIS POLICY

PRESIDENT HAYES AMI h1S kUL1C1
/ 1t is matter of qualification to all
lovers of liberty and good govern
ment to witness, as time progresses,
the unfaltering and apparently unal-
terable determination of President
Hayes to carry out the principles
enunciated in the platform of the par
ty that nominated him, and reiterated
in his inaugural address. The policy
of removing from the capitals of South
Carolina and Louisiana the United
States troops that have been held there
by the Grant administration, The effect
of whose presence has been to intimi-
date the white citizens and thwart the
will of the people of the states named,
is step, and a bold one, in the right
direction, and one that shows clearly
that we have a man in the presidcn-
tial chair who, no matter by what
means he came there, is determined to
carry out the pledges he made to the
people of the country, regardless of
the wishes of the bloody shirt mem
bers of his own party, or the party
that placed him in power. We usual
ly have little faith IN pledges made by
men or parties before elections, and
we do not pretend to believe it was
the expectation of the party that nom-
mated Hayes that he would redeem his
pledges, and now that it is found that
he Is honest and will do as he has
been pledged, we will expect to hear
bloody shirt howl that will resound
from Maine to Oregon. All honor to |
the man who has the honesty and the
backbone to be honest and true in de-
fiance of party leaders and party
hacks. He will undoubtedly receive
the cordial support of all candid and
unbiased men of both parties as long
as he continues in his present course
Of honesty and integrity. Since the
removal of troops from Louisiana
there seems to be great harmony
among the people of all parties. and
degrees, as we'll as whites, of all
shades of politics, will be more secure
n their rights than they have been for
he past eight years under bayonetl
nile.
We hope to never see another Pres.
dent elected on the grounds of his
military prowess. A man may be d
sreat general and at the same time
'reat tyrant, and totally unfit to gov !
IN anything but an army. Such q
IAN was Hayes predecessor. The
eoplc of the country breathe more :
RELY today than for the past sixteen }
ears.

MINING ITEMS.
Henry Greek.

Messrs. Reel & Kearney's claim meas
lures about 1900 feet longitudinally ..
about $50 feet in width of pay ground
There is "a depth of from IA to 10 Zee
of top dirt to be removed, which leaves
from two to three feet OF pay groune
on the bedrock. A piece washed VI
last fall, containing about 400 square
feet, pielded $3.50, which is good pay
Taking this as an average OF then
ground, there is more than Sl5OOOt
in it. This is moderately safe Cal
culation, and it is quite as safe to cal
culate that there will be a profit Of
Is percent in working it with white
labor at usual rates, thus making the
ground worth above expense OF work
ing, the sum of $4,000, which IS a
very moderate and safe calculation.
1t will take several years to work out
the ground-probably five or SIX. They
have a fume 90 inches wide, Is inches
high and 1920 feet long, paved with
cross-cut sawed blocks. There are
about 400 square feet stripped near
ly to the pay dirt, from which $4,000
should be realized in a couple OF
months from now, all of which will be
the result of the work of three men.
The hume was put in last year. Ow-
ing to the short water season, the
amount of ground stripped is very
small compared with what it will be
in an ordinary season. Directly be-
low this claim is that of Bob Boyd
and John Foster, who have small
amount of good drifting ground ON
the south side of the creek. They
have just commenced to run a drain
to their ground, which will consume
about a week, when they will COM
mence taking out pay dit. They
have prospected this ground by sink
ing shaft and rocking out $3.50 from
less than four feet square of gravel.
This ground is only about eighteen
feet deep and will on that account re-
quire strong timbering to hold up the
surface. The boys will be able to
make S. or Sc each per day, which is
good pay these times. Their ground
will last them two or three years.
No one can calculate beyond a per-
adventure how much money is in a |
piece of ground, but these caIcula-
ions are reasonable, and as liable to

The Scheme for an Extra Session
Of the LegISlRture.

There are, apparently, n lot Of men who
for the sake Of few dollars in their pOck-
cts, would put the State OF West Virginia
to twenty or thirty thousand dollars TN.
necessary expense for an extra session Of
the Legislature this winter. Speaker
Gibson, Of CabelI, and ". L. Arnold, Of
Weston, are represented as two OF the
prominent agitators Of this scheme. They
are credited with an effort to work the
thing up among other members. We are
not advised as to the extent Of the head
way they are making, but no doubt they
have a number OF Signers on their paper.
Some Of the members can make more
money by coming to the Legislature than
by trapping bar" or digging "seug," and
no doubt would he glad to put down
their names for n perpetual session.
As great piece Of party folly We
might well afford to encourage this
scheme, for il carried out il will cost
the Democratic party good many votes
next year; but looking at 1t from higher
stand point we feel called upon to do all
in our power to discourage and prevent
such a waste Of the public money.
The trainers Of the present Constitu-
tion thought that they had provided for
biennial sessions Of the Legislature, but
under one pretext and another we have
had session every year. And now comes
Il fresh protest for u session this year,
albeit the Legislature did not adjourn 10
meet again, and no one had any idea OF
any necessity for an extra session when
the Legislature adjourned in March last.
The discovery Of such a necessity has
been made, we presume, by the aid Of q
very "small object glass" and passed
round among the members uS a matter Of
great Gmoment.
The scheme is barren Of any merits
whatever, and We warn the people of the
State against it, so that before it is con.
summNted they can let those engaged in
itknow that il will not meet with popu,
lar favor.

Those were perilous times on the Up.

frontier rilemen from the upper Potomac,
the regiment which formed Morgan'a

Saratoga-had recently arrived at Fort

an Indian combat. This company,
