Letters of NIaraue,

Sir Samuel Baker, the well known
African explorer, whose brother, ex-
Colonel Valentine Baker, late of the
British army, has served in the late war
under the flag of the Prophet, with the
rank of Pasha, lately published letter
in which, treating Of a possible Anglo
Russian war, he says: "America has re-
kserved her freedom of action; thus, In
a war between England and Russia, the
latter power will issue letters of marque
to American adventures and swarm
of Alabamas may interrupt our COM
merce" This has been met with state
ment that the old practice of issuing let
ters of marque to the subjects of neutral
States, by which they are authorized to
carry on asort of legalized piracy against
the vessels and property of a nation
| with which they are at war, has been
abandoned and vigorously repressed long
before the Declaration of Paris; that no
such letters of marque have been issued
or accepted by neutrals in the present
century; that the Government of the
United States was the first to condemn
and repudiate the practice, and that in
1854, on the outbreak of the Crimean
War, Mr.. Darcy, then United States
Secretary of State, declared, in reply to
q communication from the British Gov
ernment, "that the laws of the United
States impose severe restrictions, not
only upon its own citizens, but upon all
persons who may be residents in the ter
ritories of the United States against
equipping privateers, receiving commits
sions, or cnlisting men therein fer the
purpose of taking part in any foreign
war" 1t Is further urged now that the
first article of the Declaration of Paris
abolished privateering that is, the issu-
ing of private commissions for the pur-
poses of naval warfare to the subjects of
a belhgerent, not to neutrals, since that
practice has become obsolete, and would
expose neutral offending in this respect
to declaration of war, or to be held
responsible for losses incurred. AS the
terms are general, they prohibit the is
sue of all letters of marque or private
commissions of war. The United States,
indeed, hare not dcceded to the Declaration
Of Paris. On this it is urged that Russia
has done SO, and that Russia is, there
fore, precluded from issuing any such
commissions, even if any neutral State
would allow its subjects to accept and
act upon them. Already in this connec-
ton 1t is stated that England, as well as
Russia, is obtaining the muniments of
war from several of our eastern ports.
1t is not likely that there will be Ameri-
can prlvateering in the event of war.
but It is very certain that if, we will not
say "A swarm of Alabamas bearing the
Russian flag" but half dozen such ves-
sells were to sweep the seas, tho mercan-
tile marine of England would scarcely
venture out OF sight of land. Russia has
literally no commercial marine and does
not anticipate reprisals.-Press.

LArcAsnEa, Pa, April I6.-A ,qeod
deal OF excitement having been caused
here by the reported discovery of a silver
mine on the premises of william Hem.
Ing, about one mile east of Safe Harbor.
In TINS county, have made a visit of in.
vestigation.
Safe Harbor has several rolling mill,
and furnaces, which are supplied with
iron ore from the neighbering hills. /
soon found Mr.. Henning, man ,ef
Scotch-lrish descent, about fifty,fiye
years of age. He showed me several
nuggets weighing from five ounces to 12D
pounds, apparently containing from fifty
to seventy-fiye per cent. of pure silver.
"These are the best specimens that
have been taken out" he said. "Come
along and see the mine for yaurself.
Walking through a large field filed
with iron pyrFes, we crossed a small run
AZ the foot Of a mountain, where Mr..
Henning pointed out small mi NE from
which he had taken over 800 toms of iron.
Next we reached deposit of srllphatebf
iron mixed with flint; when .erushed
between the fingers it left dull lead
color on the hands which could be re-
moved only by washing them in Ill.
Skirting wood we reached large sink
hole. Here" said my guide, "the SILVER
ore was first discovered, about two feet
below the surface" Passing on we reach
ed a shaft sunk about sixteen feet Here
the "lead" was found. Following this
about twelve feet, a vein three inches
wide and running at an angle of 37t de-
grses in southeast and northwest direc-
ton was struck.
i detached a bit of this vein with a
small pocket knife, and was surprised at
the weight. Mr. Henning invited me to
ift what appeared to be piece of stone,
abont the size Of a mans head. 1t had
little bright spots on it. He chuckled to
himself as he saw my astonishment. That
stone weighed about 25O pounds. TAX
ing pick he detached a small piece and
crushing the earth from around it, he
showed me what look like pure lump
of silver about as large as a pea; this, he
assured me, was under the average size.
An assay has been made of the ore by
Mr.. DuBoise of the United States Mint,
who says that it will yield about seven
per cent. of pure tsilver. Several New
York and Philadelphia capitalists are ne
gotiating for the farm, which contains
sixty-three acres. Some of the miners
believe that there is an immense deposit
of silver somewhere in this neighbor-
hood. "The credit of the discovery"
said Mr.. Henning, "belongs to the rain,
which washed out the side of the hill and
laid bare the treasures beneath"

letter and was IN no way connected with its
authorship. Neither he nor his brothers
family had ever tried to make money or to
procure Office through an improper use of
the letter.
Mr.. Weber's testimony was given clearly,
and his recollection OF the facts was dis
tinct in every respect rigid cross-exam-
least, and it must be accepted as absolute
truth in the absence of any evidence tending
to impeach his veracity.
From his statement it also appears that
even after the parishes of East and West
Feliciana and several others had been thrown
out BE- the Republicans, it was found that
only six of the Hayes electors had received
majority. This was after the official vote
had been completed, and it became neces-
sary that other Democratic votes should be
thrown out, and they were thrown out on
one pretense or another, and the State by
these means given to Hayes.
MIR. Weber also gives an insight into the
manner in which ':public sentiment was
created during the troubles. He and others
were employed to invent and detail outrages
committed by Democrats on both white and
colored Republicans, in order to get the ad-
ministration to sustain them. This was the
stock in trade of Kellogg and Packard.
MIR. Weber's testimony has not been COM
pleted, and it is quite likely that he will be
able to throw still further light upon this
subject.

Thousands of Machines Sold To the Grans-

A person visiting the railroad yards in this
city at any time during the past six months.
could hardly fail to notice the continuous
and large shipments of farm machinery be-
ing made to all portions of the State and
Northwest. If travelling over the different
railroad lines, his eyes would be greeted at
every station with piles of machinery des-
tined for use in the vicinity. From these
observations the conclusion would naturally
be drawn that the country was being
deluged with farm machinery, and
that the charge of extravaganza
in this respect SO often made by theoretical
stump speaking grangers and economists,
was being most forcibly and ruinously illus
trated.
While on his daily rounds yesterday a
GLOBE envoy met Mr.. John j. Rhodes, of
Hastings, one of the largest machinery deal
ers IN the State, experimenting the ship
ment of a couple of cars of reapers and
binders to the northwestern part of the
State, and in brief conversation with him
some astonishing information was conveyed
to the envoy.
Mr.. Rhodes said the season had been one
OF unusual activity with all well established
farm machinery manufactures. The house
with which he is connected had. alone,
turned out some $4,000 reapers and binders,
and yet it was several thousand behind its
orders. Owing to this fact, he had been
compelled to stop taking orders two weeks
ago--just at the time when the bulk of the
orders were being made in ordinary seasons
and still he would be unable to fill his
orders into hundreds Other man.

did not doubt, grain would not be harvested
at all, or if harvested done at SO late day
and when SO fully cured and dry, that there
would be great loss from Smelling. This Is
an unpleasant outlook, but not to the same
degree as no crop to harvest, as in the grass
hopper times. It is probable, too, that the
lack of machinery is not so great as imag-
lned by Mr.. Rhodes, but that there is lack

Sherman is an honorable man. Garfield.
kellogg, Packard, Pitkin-these, too, are all
honorable men. None of them would lie.
none of them would suborn perjury, none of
then would employ corrupt means to attain
an end. Oh, no! Neither would duck
swim.
The evidence given on Tuesday by Emile
L. Weber, the brother of the murdered
supervisor of Feliciana, is perhaps the most
direct, as it is the most reliable testimony vet
heard by the Potter committee which clearly
exposes the methods of the Sherman eano
during the Louisiana unpleasantness. He
was privy to all of the negotiations between
Sherman, his brother. and Anderson, and in
every essential particular he confirms the
story of the latter as told on the stand. His
brother, Daniel Weber, and Anderson, had
informed him that the two parishes had gone
fairly Democratic. great influence was
brought to bear upon his brother to make
his protest, and he had been approached
very frequently to use his influence with his
brother to effect the signing of the protest.
He saw Anderson sign his protest, and saw
the blanks therein. After Anderson had left,
Judge Campbell attached a jurat to the paper.
1t was not sworn to by Anderson. It was
notorious fact in the custom house that
Kellogg, Packard and others were PRESSING
Anderson and Weber to make their respec-
tive protests. John Sherman was spokes-
man for the visiting statesmen, and he,
(Weber) knew that Sherman had given his
brother an assurance which caused him to
allow his protest to stand after it had been
made.
This witness has been able to effectually
contradict Mrs. jerks in regard to the Sher-
man letter, and to solve the mystery that has
all along surrounded it. He states that he
knew sherman's handwriting we'll, and had
repeatedly seen his guarantee to his brother
promising that he should be well cared
for, and that after his brother had
been murdered for threatening to publish
certain letters from the State auditors Office,
and subsequent also to Mrs. jerks effort to
obtain it, he himself found the document
and forthwith destroyed it. He states pos
itiyely that Mrs. jerks had never seen the

The male part of the jerks family made
another desperate effort on Tuesday to deny

but he was contradicted point blank both by
Anderson and Seymour. He skunk off like
