Collapse of the. Detroit Scandal



The rsaoIoa in public sentiment
At Detroit over tbs MoCoskry is
complete and overwhelming. 1t lie
now known that the letters upon
which the charges against the ven-
erable Bishop were based ara of two
classes, the real and forged ones.
The first class includes tour, which
are now in the safe of the First Ma
tional Bank 10 that city. They are
said by a correspondent who has
seen them 10 be "letters such as any
christian gentleman, especially a
clergy man, might write to young
female ward-letLers Of advice. coun-
sci ard instruction. The indecent
testers, on the other hand, are plain
y the work of another hand. They
bear no signature except a hierogly-
phic oypher, and their language ia
coarse, misspe!led and vulgar, as diff.
fereat as possible from the chaste,
scholarly manuscript of the Bishop,
as shown in the genuine letters. An
other fact is of great weight
80 pointing out the real au-
thor Of the scandal McCon-
neil, the printer who Processes to
have stolen the letters from Fanny
Richards while counting her, has
certain aptness in drawing. The
forged iettefs are interlarded with
indecent drawings in pen and pencil
just such sketches as Mcconnell has
been frequently known to make, but
which Bishop McCoskry could not
make if he had wished. All this
with the prompt aud honestly indig-
nsnt denial of Mrs Bsnister and Nc
Coskry, ought, it would seem, 10
constitute an impregnable case, with
out fart her examination or trial. The
obvious fact is that low-bred, foul
minded villain stole a few harmless

A Specimen Clam.

Those who delude themselves with
the idea that the Southern claims
which are owding upon Congress
do not present real positive danger,
should reflect upon the history of a
specimen which came up in the Sen.
ate the other day and upon the action
of that body.
In 1861 Warren Mitchell, of Ken
lucky, obtained pass from Gen. An
derson 10 60 within the Confederate
lines in order to collect certain debts.
Instead OF returning he remained in
the South till the close of the war and
shared in its warfare against the gov
eminent In 1865 President johnson
pardoned him for participating in the
rebellion, and then he brought an ac-
ton in the Court Of Claims 10 secure
pay for cotton which had been seized
by Gen. Sherman at Savannah when
that city surrendered in 1864, and
which had been sold for the benefit
OF the Government. The amount de.
manded was Sl2s,69222. The court
was equally divided on the claim and.
thus it fell. Mitchell then appealed
to the Supreme Court, and again
failed. His only remaining course
was to Congress, which he asks to
vote him the full amount. The claim
has twice been reported adversely by
the Committees to which it was re.
terred, but Mitchell persists in press.
ing it, and in the Senate on the 23d
inst, the motion to take it up failed
only by tie vote. The vote was
substantially party division. Had
the Democrats been in majority, the
claim would PROFESSIONALLY have se-
cured consideration, and would prob
ably have passed.
In the face OF sach facts the dan
ger of an enormous raid upon the
treasury cannot be secuted. 1t is a
pressing living, increasing peril, and
the oaly protection against it is to
keep Congress and the Government
out of the hands of the party which is
indebted to the South for political
success. With all branches under
the control of the Democracy, this
claim would be but mere drop in
the food of demands which would
rash in through the open sluice-gates.

Casting The Champion Gold Ba :

!
Helena (Moatana) Herald rh;,
atternoon II the prepar .tioas having
been previously made, the largest
gold bar q: whica there is any record
was cast IN be assay office of Molitor
Brass. 10 me city. The process OF
melting, which commences before
| midday, consumed so eral hours, and
not until three u cloak ives the
accumulated mass Of tetort crowned
beneath the nd OF tia nnmh loo
oruciblo ard reduced 10 igs molten
ssase. The Messrs. Molitor, super,
intending the work. were assisted by
+ B hn, Messrs. John and Benjamin
Williams and Mr. Il G. Trent, all
of them practical assayers and ex
perts The crueible, fed with five
hundred or more ounces at intervals
of thirty mintes, received the last
chunk of re:ort, which speedily fused
and became part of the golden
iqnid.
When the bar was discharged from
the mould and lifted into the cooling
tank, and its temperature reduced to
handling touch, it was taken from
the water and muscular man put
to securing. This labor ended, the
bar was lugged to the counter of the
front office, the doors thrown open,
and the public admitted. In the
course Of q coupl Of hours hundreds
of eager people hurried to the office
to inspect this extra ordinarg gol5eo
specimen.
The dimensions, weight, fineness
and value of the bar is as follows:
Length, twenty inches.
Top breadth, seven inches.
Bottom breadth, six inches.
Depth three inches
Weight. 1878 rs ounces
Fine, 760 gold: 223 silver.
Value, $50, 259 30 gold; s977 %

This is understood to be the largest
gold bar ever cast IN Montana or
elsawhere. 1t excels by more than
100 ounces the great gold bar cast 10

The Latest Gold field.

The latest 'sfnd" of gold which
promises great results is in the Island
Of Papua, or New Guinea, and this
discovery is Of character SO signifi
cant as to cause considerable excite
ment in the adjacent continent of
Australia. The gold is found in black
sand placers, in conjunction with
magnetic oxide of iron, occurring
there in small scales, none of which
so far weigh over grain. II is also
found in quartz rock, and the exis-
tence of gold bearing quartz in con-
siderable quantities is Enthusiastically
proved, while all the geological indi-
cations are favorable to an extensive
development of the gold fields. Sew
eral expeditions are about to sail to
Port Moresby from Australia already,
and, should the discoveries turn out
to be ricI, there will doubtless be a
rush Of gold hunters thither from all
parts of the world before many
months, and the experiences of Cali
fornia aud Australia and New Zea-
land will be repeated in New Guinea.

Not few of these students are i'm

the home influences, in not a few
cases, have failed to outweigh the evil

its accessories. Al one Of our large
colleges it is estimated that six sew

cities OF at least twenty FIVE thousand
inhabitants. Bnt ii is seldom that

dollars, the house took fire, baraei 10

debt was diminished by little roll of
woman's pm money. There was that
other carefal lady, too, who used
sometimes to hide her diamond rings
between two teacups IN the kitchen
cupboard, sometimes behind a certain
brick in the cellar, and again under
the lining OF an old hat. She had
divers other places of safety for her
jewels also, the only trouble being
that she had so many hiding places
she occasionally forgot where she had
last put her precious things, and
about every three months would fancy
she had been robbed, and the house
would be turned inside out, and all
