Important from Alaska.
The Department of State has received a
report from Mr.. Francis, U. S. Consul at
Victoria, giving interesting news up to the
18th of June concerning affairs in Alaska.
The recent discovery of gold and silver near
Sitka has caused much excitement, and
many miners from California, Oregon,
Washington Territory and Vancouver have
gone there during the last two months,
May and June. The Alaska Gold and Sill
yer Mining Company were erecting quartz
mill near their ledge, which was expected
to be in operation by August 1st. Prepar-
atoms were also being made by the San
Francisco Company for the working of their
ledge.
Assays of the quartz of both ledges give
an average of from $15 to $25 per ton. These
/ mines are situated within one and halt
miles of the fine harbor OF Sitka Bay and
near an immense water power Two
/ salmon canning establishments were in sue
cessful operation, one at Clamack and the
other at Sitka. The Indians were reported
peaceable, with a more friendly feeling pre-
vailing among them toward the whites. The
canning establishments help this feeling by
giving employment to large number OF
Indians.

A HuMILIArISG CoNFEssIoS.-The
Cameron platform adopted at Harris
burg, by the knaves and slaves of that
dynasty, the other day, conceded The
depression and general bankruptcy that
prevails throughout the State, in all
business affairs. This is q disgraccful
admission. This party, or elan which
has ruled the "Church and State" in
this Commonwealth, for EIGHTEEN
YEARS, and now the Deacons and
Elders Mackey, Cameron's, Quay,
Rutan, etc, stand up in broad daylight,
at the State Capital, and confess that
they have ruined the morals and bust.
ness of the State, and nominated Hoyt,
etc, and have the ~impudencc to ask
the people to tolerate them for four
years more. Can iraud and imperti.
hence be rendered more transparent ?
Their confession is conclusive proof to
every sensible voter, that this faction
is unfit to govern a free Commonwealth,
and deserves to be defeated in No
vember.

The NATIONAL CANDIDATE AT HOME,
The nominee for Governor, s. r,
Mason, Esq, is n citizen Of this place
and 80 well known in this county that
he requires but brief mention. His en-
dorsement, however, by the labor in.
huence in the National party will be
an anomaly. So long as the railroad
companies owning lines in this county
needed an attorney Mr.. Mason acted
in that capacity. When the coal ope.
rators in the county desired 10 dispos-
sess their laborcrs because they would
not comply with the requirements Of
the mine.owners, Mr.. Mason has in al
most every instance been the attorney
Of the mine.owners. The last instance

is or can be between Mr.. Mason and

have all been on the other side. Poll.

lows, and we "shall see what we shall

SOUND SESsE.--The House at Har.
risburg has a bill before it, No. 149,
the object Of which is To prohibit the
banking institutions of this State from
paying interest on deposits. As only
those banks having the least credit, and
which are necessarily least able to pay
such interest, would be affected, the
Ledger thinks the Legislature would
seem TO be doing pretty near the right
thing by inbibiting them from temp
ting depositors by the offer Of a small
rate Of interest to deposit with them,
at the risk Of loss Of both the principal
and interest. Banks are not created
for the purpose Of becoming borrowers
OF money they are presumed TO be
lenders Of money but when they en-
ter the market as borrowers, us they
do by paying interest on deposits, they
become competitors with men in lcgi-
timate business and help to run up the
price of money on those for whom
banks are established to accommodate,
Tho true policy Of safe and sound bank.
ing is against the payment Of interest
on deposits.

Under the forms Of law, Rutherford d. Hayes

His title rests upon disfranchisement Of lawful

GOOD ADVICE.


Uncle Jake Zieglcr IN his Butler
Herald divests himself of this piece of
editorial advice; ~. Blake Walters,
Esq, OF Clearfeld, has been appointed
Chief Clerk in the Treasury Depart.
ment by Col. Noyes. We know Mr..
Walters well, and we congratulate Mr..
Noyes in having been so fortunate as
to secure the services of 50 excellent a
clerk, as well as so estimable a citizen.
The allegation that the Treasury De-
partment is to be run in the same old
groove as il was under the Mackey
and Rawle administration, is without
warrants. Editors who prefer to deal
fairly with public officers and assert
the only interest they have in their Sc
lection is the public good, would cx-
hibit a commendable modesty if they
would just content themselves quietly
until some real cause Of complaint ex.
lists. This business of d%iscounting the
discharge of public duties to an incumb.
ent's discredit before he has taken his
seat, or at least before he is scarcely
warm in it, is any thing but honorable.
1t shows a disposition to find fault
whether cause exists or not, or may be,
because some certain person who is dis
tasteful to them has had influence
enough to procure the appointment OF
a clerk. We shall treat Mr.. Noyes
fairly. During the campaign which
resulted in his election we did so, and
the fact that neither he nor Mr.. Schell
thought worth while to come out here
where SO much was done tor both to
select a clerk shall not induce MS to find

TIE STOLEN PRESIDENCY,
Congressman Clarkson n. Potter, of
Now York. introduced n resolution in

Congressman Clarkson n. Potter, OF
New York, introduced q resolution in
Ag.saQh-r psScss:n
t%atives last Monday, proposing 4
thorough investigation into the charges
of fraud, forgery and perjury on The
part Of the men who turned over the
electoral votes OF Florida and Louisi'
ana to Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Potter's reso'
luton does not stop at the vulgar crime
Of the scoundrcls who falsifed the vote
Of these two States, bnt it reaches
for the "visiting Statesmen who en-.
couragcd smaller ~rascals, like Wells,
Anderson, and their compeers, and
promised them reward and immunity
for their crime against q free and hon.
est ballot.
The Radicals fought the resolution
vigorously and adopted every dodge to
defeat the resolution by calling the
yeas and nays in f%rivilous motions and
at other times absent themselves from
tho hall and thereby prevent a quorum.
This conduct continued until Friday,
when the Democrats mustered l4s
yeas and n nay and passed the meas.
ure, not q single Radical having voted
on the question. That evening the
Radical Congressional Committee issued
proclamation to the voters Of tho
United States severely denouncing the
Democrats in passing Mr.. Potter's reso-
luton in the House. They assert that
1t is a plot TO unseat President Hayes
and call upon all who opposed tho re-
bellion Of 1861, without distinction Of
party, to rally again to the support of
law, order and stable government. 1t
is signed by Eugene Hale and George
G. Gorham. From this time forward
the bloody shirt will be waved very
vigorously. What a pity that the Cam
error State Convention overlooked this
xnattar
