The State of Guatemala now offers
land free of cost TO immigrants who will
take possession and engage IN the cult
vaIion of sarsaparilla plants and cocoa
and rubber trees. A premium Of fifty
dollars is paid out of the public treasury
to every planter for each thousand trees
he sets out and twenty five dollars for the
same number of sarsaparilla plants. The
trade Of Guatemala with England Is
rapidly increasing. In 1877 the imports
into Guatemala from that country were

THE LAST APPOINTMENT.

Thomas Hoicom6, Of Neso Castle, Ap
pointed Recorder Of Deeds.
Thomas Holcomb. of New Castle, wa,
yesterday appointed Recorder of Deed.
and Mortgages In and for New Castle
County, by Governor Cochran.
Thomas HolcOmb Is q son of the late
Chauncey Holcomb, was born In New
Castle Hd., and Is about thirty-six years
of age. He studied law In the law school
OF Harvard University, ct Cambridge,
Mass, and was admitted to the bar Of
New Castle County, about 1865. He
never practiced his profession, however,
to any great extent. Jed.
At one time he removed to st. Louis,
Gratiot county, Michigan, and in COM
pany with John Evans, engaged extern
sively IN the lumber business, but the
financial crash OF 1873 destroyed the busi-
ness and inflicted upon Mr. Holcomb q
severe pecuniary loss.
In 1874 he was elected q member Of the
Legislature from New Castle county, re-
ceiving the highest vote of the Democra-
tic ticket, a. al evidence of his populari-
ty. He was chosen Speaker Of the
House. and was instrumental in having
the bill passed for the repeal Of the law
authorizing the attachment of wages,
and also in the passage of the amended
State school law. In 1876 he was again
elected member of the House, and dur
ing the session was mainly instrumental
in having the bill passed which so largely
reduced the Stateltax alton.
Personally Mr.. Holcomb Is pleasant
and agreeable, and bis legal knowledge
will prove peculiar advantage to those
desiring reliable searches made in the
Recorders office. In making the appoint
ment, Gov Cochran was mainly actuated
by the recommendations, and he declar-
sd that those Of Mr.. Holcomb were de-
cidedly the best, and he was assured that
his appointment would give equal. if not
more, satisfaction, TO that Of either of tho
other applicants.
THIS is the last official appointment
Gov Cochran will be called upon to
make during his official term, unless a
vacancy is caused by death or resigna-
ton. During his term Of office he has
filed every County Office in the State ex-
cepting that of Register of Wills for New
Castle County. Register Biggs was ap-
pointed late in Gov. Ponder's term, and
his term Of Office has not yet expired.

A Heavy Drop In Mining Stocks and an
Eytensice Change of Shares

A Heavy Drop In Mining Stocks and a,
| Estensice Change Of Shares.
| SAN Francisco, Nov. lS.--The des
patch of last night from Virginia Cit,
created sensation ON Pine street thil
morning and caused heavy drop In the
Bonanza stocks. Nearly five thousand
shares of California and over clever
thousand shares of Consolidated Vir
ginia changed hands at prices ranging
from 81 10 10 for the former and 81 TO Il
for the latter.
Numberless reports are adoat concern
ing the real meaning of the recent action
of the mine managers In discharging the
men and the utterances of Mr.. Mackay,
so strongly in contrast with his statement
last April before the Commissioners of
Story county in relation TO the bullion
tax, when he said that the prospects of
the Consolidated Virginia and the Cali
fornia were as good as at any previous,
time, and that there was enough ore in
sight to yield eighteen or twenty mil
lions, even If 1t did not reach more than
three feet deeper than at present devel-
oped.
The opinion is quite generally express
ed that It was part Of 'bear" movement
In conneci ion with the contest between
the Flood and Skae factions. Attention
is also called to the alleged fact that
large force OF men had been put on Just
before The election who were no longer
needed Others are disposed to accept
Mr.. Mackey's rea.on as stated.
At the Office Of the Bonanza firm but
little definite information could be OBJ
tanned. Some surprise was here express
ed at the reading of the dispatch fro. n
Virginia City In the papers of the Cali
fornia Associated Press this morning. 1t
was intimated that the intelligence was
unexpected, and that possibly Mackey's
statements might have been slightly over.
drawn by the interviewer, but It was con-
ceded that wha ever he actually said must
be accepted as correct.
The attent on OF your core e.pondeut
was drawn to an analysis Of Mackey's
| statement, which would rot bear out the
conclusion that no more WAS to be ex-
pected from the Cons, ldat ID Virginia
as an ore-producing mine, but Ia a gem
eral way the impres ion was conveyed
that the prospect for resumption and
dividends was not 'ncouraging.
A Virginia City dispatch says the Act
ting Superintendent the Bonanza mines
ated to reporter this evening that the
| real cause of the discharge of the men was
the intense heat. The miners will re.
sumo work as soon as connection is made
with Ophir. This will be in Ten days.

CAPE MAY, n. j., Nov. 13.
As Cape May Is an object of interest in
consequence of the late fire, your readers
would probably better understand the
burnt district by informing them that it
extended along the beach from between
the West End Hotel to the Stockton Row
cottages. OF course the Stockton House
as well as the cottages in front ana those
also to the east of it, escaped. The hand
some cottages on Columbia avenue also
escaped. Also the "Marine Ville," kept
by Mrs. Hallenbeck, and Sawyer Chal-
fonte, which are open all the while.
The Marine Villa House vas struck
lightning just after completion, and was
saved by an immense tin roof. 1t has
withstood two hurricanes, one in the fall
of 1875, and the other on the 23d of Oc-
tober, 1878, on which date the tide rose
higher than 1t was ever know 10 rise be

India's Gold Fields.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The new gold dis

Within an area twenty-five by thirteen
miles, ninety outcrops were discovered of
auriferous quality, from two to four feet
thick, yielding from few pennyweights
to 200 ounces per ton. The richer stone
shows, when broken, fine and coarse
seams and jagged pieces the size Of a
pea.

to limit the whole cost of the bridge to

part of the money already expended has
gone to line the pockets of rogues. The

in its present condition, Will be cob

From the N. T. Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1878.
In spite Of widespread publicity given
the report that the President has changed
his so-call,d Southern policy there is
nothing OF late in either the Presidents
acts or words to justify such an assertion.
The interview In tie National Re
publican in which he is represented a.
making q new departure, Is q partisan
report or series OF sentiments dropped
from time to time in conversation with
its author and other callers at the White
House, strung together as II expressed
at one audience and Is specific ally wrong
in the italicized portion where Mr. Hayes
Is quoted as saying that he was reluc-
tantly forced to admit that his expert
ment was a failure. Friends OF the
President say that he is willing to father
in general way the expires ions and sem
tlments in the rest Of the reported inter-
view. hut that he disclalms altogether
having acknowledged the failure Of his
policy. -ArA .. ..
1t is said that all this sensation ongina-
ted with Messrs. Zach Chandler and Don
Cameron, who visited the White House
and got the President to make a very easy
promise, namely, that he would enforce
the penalties where the federal Election
was violated at the lat election.
Notwithstanding the Presidents re-
ported change of base the serenity of the
White House continues to exasperate
such spirits as Senator Kellogg and j.
Hale Sypher, who fail TO see that Mr..
Hayes is doing anything as yet for the
party, and so expressed themselves at a
