for the week ended yesterday closes the receipts by
canal here for this season. The receipts by railroad
do not increase with the closing Of the canal having
been 167, ,875 bushels, against 115S,926 bushels
and 1,285,6OO bushels for the two preceding
weeks. The total quantity received at New-York
last week was ,258 972 bushels, against 1,4442 267
and 3,272,210 bushels for the preceding weeks.
The decline last week In the receipts at
the three other ports, Boston. Philadelphia
and Baltimore, from the receipts OF the
week before was even more marked than at New
York; the receipts at all three ports having been
1,191, 800 bushels, against ], ,734, ,764 bushels At
Buffalo the receipts by lake have nearly ceased,
and those by railroad show q regular decline in
stead Of an increase for the last two weeks. Chi
cago and Milwaukee each reports smaller receipts,
while the shipments from both last week amounted
to only O43, ,564 bushels. which is in marked con-
trast with the weekly shipment of over 3,OOO,OOO
bushels during the season of lake navigation.
The stock market to-day opened strong, and
prices generally made further fractional advance.
Later selling movement set in, which, although
accomplishing little in the way of a large amount
of sales, made rapid havoc with figures so that the
last prices in general were considerably below those
of the opening.
All the active stocks to-day moved to greater or
less degree in unison, hence 1t Is unnecessary to
mention them in detail OF the trunk line shares.
Central and Hudson, with a sale OF 100 shares at

AN INCONSISTENT CONVENTION
1t AdvOcstes Equal Taxation and
lndOrses Bradley in VetOing a
Bill Designed to Secure 1t.

An indignant citizen, Democrat,
probably, writes the TIMES lengthy
criticism of the action of the recent
Democratic County Convention, from
which we make the following extract:
Now comes the Democratic Con-
vention, composed principally of men
of the Kearney stamp-men who
howl and talk about the bullion tax,
and are ready at all times to mob
a man who dares differ with them on
this question-men who think Gov
ernor Bradley the only honest man
IN the Democratic party. These con-
sistent Democrats pass the following
resolutions in their Convention |:
"That this Convention hereby in
dorses the past administration of
Governor Bradley; that we are in
favor of having the proceeds of the
mines taxed equally with other prop.
erty." Now, Mr.. Editor, I ask, in
all candor, is not this nice kettle of
fish for the leaders Of a great party
to dish up to the people They in
dorse the Legislature in passing a
bill to equalize taxes ON the pro-
ceeds of the mines with other prop
erty, and then indorse Governor
Bradley for vetoing that bill.
A VOTER.
Dayton, Sept. 90, 1878.
The notorious bullion tax bill
passed at the last session of the
Legislature will probably be pub
lished during the campaign, and the
people Of this State will then see
what slim foundation there is for all
the credit accorded to Governor
Bradley for vetoing it,-ED. TIMES. !

THE DUNDERBERG MINE.

A Valuable Property that Cannot
be Made to Pay without Ex-
pensive Machinery-How 1t Will
be Worked in the Future-On
the ''Slow but Sure" Plan.
The Dunderberg mining enterprise
has not been that success which it
was confidently expected, and all the
Silverites who went there couple of
months ago-with the exception of
K. Leuck-have left the mine, and
either returned to this city, or stopped
at Bodie or Aurora. All idea of ex.
tensively working the Dunderberg
has been relinquished-for some time
to come, at least.
The Dunderberg is situated about
10 or II miles east of Bodie, but the
ore, unlike that of the latter district,
is refractory, and requires consider
able quicksilver to work. The ledge
as prospected, shows up a width of
between five and six feet of clean
ore which will all pay for milling.
The ore assays from "a to $50 per
ton, but the average does not exceed
$50. Its yield under the stamps is
from $15 to 81 per ton. This would
pay were it not for the fact that
great deal of the hanging wall must
be removed in order to get at the ore.
The greatest depth attained in tho
mine is by means of a tunnel about
100 feet below the surface. An at
tempt to sink below the tunnel level
was baffled by the great quantity of
water encountered, which made it
evident that no work can be done in
depth without pumping machinery.
The parties interested propose to pro-
cure such machinery, but they prefer
to have the property pay its way,
even though they must work slower,
and they therefore discharged nearly
the whole force of employees. The
1O-stamp mill is in good running
order, and will be started up on Bodie
ore in few days. The profits real
lied by the mill will be invested in
working the mine and continuing the
extraction of ore; and when the
contract Just entered into with the
owners of the Bodie has been full
filled, the Dunderberg mill will again
be started up on Dunderberg ore and
shaft will be sunk on the ledge.

Mrs. TAFT Surprlsed-A Pleasant
Occasion.

About twenty couples gathered at
Stewards drug store, last Wednesday
evening, and proceeded to the resi-
dence Of Justice TAFT in a body, to
give that gentleman's worthy spouse
and daughter a surprise. It was
very complete. Mrs. TAFT was pre-
pairing to retire, when the crowd in
vaded her house. To say that she
was pleased would be less than the
truth. She was really happy for the
nonce.
Armory Hall (where Justice TAFT
holds his COURT had been secured
and a string band engaged in Vir-
ginia, and to the hall the party
adjourned and soon the lively meas
ures of the waltz were struck up
and the enjoyment was general.
About l o'clock the ladies' baskets
had been despoiled of their contents,
and all present adjourned to Mrs.
Tait's dining-room to partake of
collation., the interval between eating
and dancing being enlivened by
songs by the Misses Ella Briefly and
Addie Powning, and Bart Derham,
the Democratic candidate for Coun-
ty Clerk. The party did not break
up until 5 o'clock in the morning.
All who attended voted it the pleas
ATTEST occasion of the kind at which
they had ever been present.

Well OF IL,

Captain Kelly, Superintendent of

erintendent of the Justice, and other
mining men aud experts yesterday
visited the Alta mine, and all were
we'll pleased with what they saw.
They were particularly we'll pleased
with what they saw in the north drift
on the 1850 level, which is now be-
ginning to enter diagonally into the
ore body. Not only is the ore which
has thus far been exposed good, but
1t is in the right kind Of material.
1t is no gypsum-of which there is
too much in some of the mines of
the south end-but good, solid quartz.

MRS, LESLIE.CARROLL'S Lee.
TURE.

A Pleasant Entertainment--Per-
sonnet Of the Lectures = Her
Next Appearance. a
A very select audience assembled
in the Miners Union Hall, last Thurs
day evening, to hear Mrs. Leslie
Carroll, the clairvoyante and tele-
graphic medium, lecture on Spiritu-
alism. They had not expected any
very noisy manifestations, and were
consequently not disappointed. The
entertainment was divided into two
parts, the first consisting Of an ex-
ordium or introduction, and the
second of spiritual manifestations.
In introducing her subject the lee
turess stated that she became be-
lever in Spiritualism about six years
ago, the predisposing cause thereto
having been the death Of favorite
child and her despair at being sepa-
rated from him forever. She then
proceeded with her subject, citing
many instances of spiritual mani
festations stated In the Bible, and
closed by announcing a semi-obscure
seance.
The lights in that part of the hall
nearest the stage were then extin-
guished. In the meantime the la
dies having been requested to sing a
hymn, Mrs. Hornick complied by
rendering the "Sweet Bye and Bye"
in such way that all present were
charmed.
The seance was then resumed,
many spirits of deceased persons
Gncluding those of Abe Edgington,
Charley De Long, H. II. ChafIin, and
many others unknown to this re-
porter but evidently recognized by
others presently appearing to the me-
dium and delivering messages of
varied import. The dark seance
lasted full hour, and perhaps was
too lengthy for all but the believers
in attendance; but the whole enter
tainment was well worth attending.
Mrs. Carroll is a lady about five
feet nine inches high; she has very
light complexion, bushy head of
golden hair tied negligently in a
loop back of her head, and large
blue eyes that go further to carry
conviction to her hearers than any
logic possibly could. Her delivery
is quiet and lady-like,. forcible yet
without attempt at oratorical display /;
her enunciation is perfect, her words
being selected with such care that
child eight years old could under
stand, and her demeanor throughout
the entertainment was that of hos
tess entertaining some intimate
friends in her private parlor--and
therefore in great contrast to the av-
erage of mediums. She captured
her audience on the start, and held
it to the last. Mrs. Leslie Carroll
has never appeared in public be-
fore outside of her rooms in San
Francisco. She may therefore be
said to have made her debut in any
public hall in this city. She will
repeat her lecture in National Guard
Hall, in Virginia City, at the meet
ing of the Liberal Society tomorrow
Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock.

Nor is the excitement confined to
our male population, nor adults, or

his little "dab" in stocks and may be
daily seen crowding around our stock

even the inferior animals have caught

REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS.

The Every Evening and Commercial ass
serts that Mr.. Williams represents the
views of the people of Delaware upon the
financial question. Who are the people
Are they the money lenders and usurious
note shavers, or the industrious freemen,
who give wealth, power and dignity to the
State If the former, Mr.. Williams rep
resent the people, II the latter, he does not.
The great majority of the working people,
yea, ten to one, are hostile to the dishonest
breach of contract by Congress in 1874
They are in favor of remonetizing silver
and respecting contracts. Mr.. Williams,
by his vote, places himself in the band that
labors to take away the option of the con
tract of 1870, and pay the bondholders more
than his due. .gs
The act which Mr.. Williams sustains,
makes silver, to the amount of IS, legal
tender, good enough to pay day laberer,
but not good enough to pay bondholder.
Mr.. Williams voted tor the various army
bills, and, to our knowledge, no sentiment Of
the people Of Delaware is more deeply
ingrained than in favor Of o prompt and
decided reduction ofth army. No real friend
of Mr.. Williams will moot bis name for q
third term, it is preposterous to advance IT,.

SOUR GRAPES.

The city statement appeared In the Re.
publican and the MORNING HERALD be-
cause those papers agreed to print 1t at $50
each. The Republican doubtless hasa cirs
culation next to that of the Every Evening

have been worth the low price charged,
which will pay but little more than the cost
of setting the type, even In such fashion as
this is set in, but $50 for the insertion of
anything in, paper like the HERALD is
sheer waste of money.-Every Evening and
Commercial. &a .FF Fs
The old fever has broken out afresh
upon our big neighbor, and like a dog re-
turning to bis tomit,, It is at its tricks again.
Than the people about the Every Evening,
none better know that the circulation of the
HERALD equals within the city of; Will.
.mington, that of their own paper, and in
influence, far surpasses it. 1t is a fact that
the advocacy ofthe Every Evening, is as
fatal as the shirt Of Nessus. It never yet
championed candidate, but the people
beat him Ila course towards the HERALD

and unfound,d aud malignant abuse, so
low as to be cowardly. One of It's
canvassers meanly and untruly said to Mr..
Snyder, in Wannamaker Il Co.'s In Phila-
delphia, that eft only had a circulation OF
$50 copies, and that the Every Evening
would soon run 1t out Of existence, At q
time when the HERALD was struggling for
life, happily past,it gloated over It's trouble,
and double loaded the news of Its embar-
easements. When the experiment was
tried Of a morning edition BY z. E. 81 g.,
one Of its people said to a number of news
