own argument to provo a aJortiorl
that no man can belong to two
parties ut onco. And it is as much
O question whethor q man can
afford to leave party rs whother
the party can afford to loso him.
There arc serious dangers on both
sides. An Independent Democrat
is dangerous, only because he tonds
to destroy tho party, not because
it is feared that, if elected, he will
not vote with tho Democrats on
party issues. This being tho case,
how much moro dangerous is an
opposing organiztt ttion ovowodly in
tended to destroy the Democratic
party.
A word moro The News AND
HERALD is strict party paper,
b,ttling for tho Democracy against
all comers. All good Democrats
are allowed to express thoir viows
in it's columns us long as they aro
not opposed to Democratic princi~
plos. But it has no idea Of ad-
vancing the cause of IN opposing
organization, of whatever namo or
crccd. Every party must establish
its own organ. TIE News AND
HERALD will criticize tho National
Grocnbacll party as freely as it does
tho Republican party, and will not
feel callod upon to publish defence
of one any more than Of tho othor.
While in many respects it coincidcs
in tho financial views of the Greens
hackers, it utterly condemns their
mode of rectifying wrongs. In the
present campaign, since thore will bo
no financial issues in Fairfield, we
shall have nothing moro to say on
this subject, postponing the discuss
sion whether it is bettcr to have
gold OF paper until our people SEQ
some prospect of gotting a littlo Of
either.

The National Greenbackers.

DR.. V. p. Clayton takes up tho
cudgols in dofcnce Of tho National
Grccnback party, and dofincs his
political position clearly and dclib~
eratoly. We propose to say somc-
thing in reply to his lotter. It is
truo wo did learn something from
his formor communication, somo-
thing that wo wore painod to dis
covor, that any person should be
found in South Carolina willing to
dcsort tho Democratic party for tho
SO called National Grconback party,
IN ophomeral organization, which
we still insist is mongrcl concern
composed Of Nationals, Grcenback
.ors, Labor Reformors, Socialists,
Communists and visionarios, who
.are taking the advice Of Dennis
Koarnoy to 'pool their issues" It
may bo true, rs DR.. Clayton int;-
mates, that The News AND HERALD
is ''intorcstod, inasmuch as it's
proprletors own seven national
banks, forty~nine tons of gold and
seventeen square miles of silver
bricks, to say nothing Of dozen or
two railroads, an oil pipo limo and a
horse railway, and DO nothing for
a living but clip coupons from
stack of gold, intorcst bearing
United States bonds, and lend
money at forty-sovcn per cent
interest; md we certainly plead
guilty to tho charge that we shave
failed, as public journalists, to
,onlighton our readers on tho wild
schemes that fill most of the
."National Groonbaclz" shoots. It
may bo that tho absurtlity of tho
vagarios Of thcso financial visiona-
RIGS has taught us to be somewhat
.chary OF inflicting our financial
viows on the public, tho moro so rs
a very careful study of the speeches
OF Tp,.rman and Voorhees, and
Ewing and Bayard and Blaino and
Kelley and Allen and Garfield and
Lamar and Hendricks and Sherman
and Tildon and Eaton and Butlor
and such men, has not given us
that confidence in our ability to
solvo tho financial problom that wo
might have entertained had wc
read only ono side. We are much
obliged for tho offer to onlighten
ourselves and our readers, but
must decline with thanks until wo
are assured Of tho charactor and
valuo Of tho information promised.
In regard to tho pro .ominence of
the financial issue wo will merely
quote tho language of our County
Chairpan "Of what uso is money
to us if our liberty is DESTROYED {?
You are still in tho hands of tyrants
who will tako your dollars from
you whotbor thoy bo gold or silver
or paper. Your future depends on
avoiding oil minor questions and
enrolling yourselves under tho con-
stitution."

i
stroy tho Democrats, it also intends
to uproot Radicalism. Wo do this
without hesitation, but ask what
consolation is it to man about to
| have his throat cut to know that
tho murdcrcr intends noxt to beat
out tho brains Of his onomy across
tho way? When it comes to q
question of party life or death, wo
shall consider tho Nationals in
precisely the samo category rs the
Republicans. Both aro plotting
the destruction of tho organization
that made tho Union great before
tho war and has saved South Caro-
lima since. DR.. Clayton profers to
Wow the Nationals as standing on
tho samo platform as tho Dcmo-
Gratis. We have shown above that
they stand, also, on precisely tho
samo platform rs tho Radicals,
which is moro to tho purpose.
With two parties in tho fold, tho
Democrats will win. With throo,
wo shall have just such M election
as brought in tho Republicans once
before.
AS to Hayes and tho South, his
course has alienatcd nino tenths
of his party. Ho is called q reno
gadc and traitor. His policy would
never have succeeded but for the
supremacy Of tho Democrats in tho
House and n ma jority Of the Statos.
Tiltlon never would have suffered
tho United States Court to tramplo
upon the laws of South Carolina.
Tho South is not safe undor any
party but the Democracy. While
the National Grccnbackers would
be shouting themselves hoarso for
paper money and plenty of it,
ovcry State in the South might bo
rcmandcl to scrvitudc, because the
Greenbackors arc interested only in
money, not in principles or liberty.
AS to the leaders oil tho new
party. If old Governor Allon has
ever quit tho Democratic ranks we
have never heard Of it, and we pro-
dict that ho will bo considerably
advanced in dotago bcforo he
abandons an organization in which
he has been prominent forty years.
lio is for greonbacks ''im the
Democratic 2orty"-prccisoly tho
course we advised our fr:on Is to
take. On this platform arc Voorhees,,
Ewing, Allen, Joe Johnston, Ran-
dolph Tucker, with tho Democrats
of Louisiana, Indiana and q number
Of other States. These nro good
enough company without seeking
new party affiliations. Peter Coop.
or is much moro distinguished as n
philanthropist than as q politician.
Brick Pomeroy has no standing
among respectable journalists. Ho
went up like a rocket and camo
down like Il stick. Butler and
kcarncy aro still the most promi>
nent leaders Of tho party. They
are monopolizing the hustings.
We regret to learn that the Fcas-
,torvillo Grconhaclz Club has been de-
libcratcly organized. We had hoped
that it was the result of temporary
excitement. Wo shall therefore
offer no furthor advice to it's mem-
bcrs. But we ask if tho party
should succeed in 1850 what would
it do? Issue S2,OOO,OOO,OOO of
giccnbaclls and have them as cheap
as Confederate money? If m at
tempt bo made to pay tho gold
|bonds in paper tho bondholdor will
simply 60 into tho Supreme Court
to enforce his contract, and block
that game. Or, admitting that tho
party camo to hfo on ono issue, ono
act of Congress will perform it's mis-
sion. What will the party do then /?

May Has Come.
May has come, all bright and glowing, With its'bursting buds and flowers,

May has come, all bright and glowing,
 With its,bursting buds and flowers. Shedding ever-grateful fragrance
 From their odor-laden bowers; Birds are breathing joyful music,
 Blending songs from glen and glade, Carollng from hin and valley
 Natures morning serenade. May has come! It bringeth sunshine
 To the rich man and the poor; Every ray that gilds the palace
 Gilds the lowly cottage door; Nature knows no rank or station,
 Shedding graces over all; Every fragrant vine that elImbeth
 Clings alike to hut and hall. May has comet Alasi its beauty
 l alone this morn must share, For the blossoms meath my window
 Greet not her that placed them there; She that trained the vine that creepeth Der the porch above my door, God hath taken-yet the blossoms
 Shed their perfume as before. May has come! To Him who sendeth Bud and blossom, leaf and blade; Life and death and every blessing,
 Let our prisons be made; Let us swerve not in our duty;
 Trust in Him, and be content Talyino with a cbS1dsc acoa,,toroo
 Whatsoever may be sent.

Sitting Hull.

CHICAGO, May 2.-General Sheridan this afternoon received a report from General Miles, dated Head Quarters of the District of the Yellow Stone, Fort Kegoh, Montana, informing him that Sitting Bull and 144 men, all head soldiers and chiefs, had sent half breed to General Miles, inquiring what kind of peace tine United States would make with them, and saying the Great Father was of course too rich to expect Indians to give up their poor little ponies and their old guns.
 General Miles in reply informed Sit ting Bull that if he desired to stop hos tilities peace could be made which would end all the troubles between the whites and Indians. When the Indians give up their ponies and guns they will receive cattle and other prop. erty of greater value in place, and when peace is made the Government will provide for them as it does for all friendly Indians.

mittee thought they were ample for all purposes of courts of jurisdiction that this section intended 10 confer.
 To properly understand the bill it. self, ask the Secretary to read section 1889 of the Revised Statutes.
 The Chief Clerk read as follows.
 SEC. 1889. The Legislative Assem- plies of the several Territories, shall not grant private charters or special privileges, but they may, by general incorporation acts permit persons to associate themselves together as bodies corporate for mining, manufacturing and other industrial pursuits, or the construction CT operation of railroads, wagon-rOads, irrigating ditches, and the colonization and improvement of lands in connection herewith, or for colleges, seminaries, churches. lbra- ries, or any benevolent, charitable or scientific association.
 The amendment was agreed to.
 The bill was reported to the Senate as amended, and the amendments were concurred in.
 The bill was ordered engrossed for Q third reading, read the third time and passed.

Bankrupt Law Repealed.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-In the House yesterday the Speaker announc ed the regular order, consideration of Senate bill for the repeal of the Bank rupt law. McMahon offered the sub- stitute agreed on by the Judiciary Committee, which was lost. An amendment by Knott was agreed to-, and the bill passed-ayes 206, noes 70. The bill, as amended, reads as follows: :: " That the Bankrupt law, approved March 20, 1867, title 61 of the Revised Statutes, and all acts in amendment of or supplementary thereto, or in expla- nation thereof, be and the same are hereby repealed Provided, that such repeal sha.l in no manner invalidate or affect any case in bankruptcy ins- tituted and pending in any court prior to the day when this act shall take effect; but all such pending cases and all future proceedings therein, and all penal actions and criminal proceedings arising therein under acts hereby repealed, shall continue in full force and effect until the same shall be fully disposed of in the same manner as ii said acts had not been repealed" l. now returns to the Senate, where the House amendments will no doubt be cOncurred in.

MINERAL HILL, May {

MINERAL HILL, May 2. EDITOR CITIZEN: write this from what is known as Mineral Hill, a camp that is only in its infancy as yet, but one that will ere long take rank as one of the most important in Globe Dis trict and perhaps the whole Territory. A few months ago a good, strong, en- phatic cuss word as a wandering pros peetor hurried through the gulch was the only evidence of civilization that could be discovered Now the ring of the sledge, more potent to make the rocks dance than the fabled Tyre of Amphyon, and the sharp report of the blast are common sounds. A few live men (not San Francisco capitalists either have wrought the change, and they have an abiding faith in its per manency.
 Milner and Watson got from the Sil- yer Era and Etna mines thirteen tons of ore which gave them 67O0 ounces of silver. They have increased their gang of men and have secured as su- peri1tendent NIT. Palmer, a thoroughly competent man. The Etna is about twenty feet deep and shows a body off chloride ore three feet wide. The Sil- yer Era has over two feet of ledge mat ter and is richer than the Etna.
 These two mines were bonded toI San Francisco parties, but the expert who came to examine them thought the price, $45,0O0, too heavy and the sale was off. They could not be pur- chased today for twice the money.
 The Julius mine owned by Buck d Hayes was also bonded at $25, 900 but could not be got today for $100,0O0. Att three feet from the surface the Julius shows a four inch streak of ore; at twenty feet, the present depth, it shows nearly four feet. IL is a chloride ore with a liberal showing of ruby and vir- gin silver. I was there the other day just as blast went of, and masses of. ore weighing over two hundred pounds were thrown out. They have over twelve tons of ore out which will aver age considerably over $1O0 to the ton. That is the product of thirty days la b0r for one man. Not bad, eh? They are erecting buildings for their men, and an assay office, over which NIT. Kearsing will preside. Mir K was for merly assayer at the King mine, and is without superior in the Territory.
 The Green Tree mine, the Mayflow- CT, the Kanuck, Whalen's, Marcos, | and all the mines and prospects along the hill to Bixby's are showing well and will soon take rank with the best of them. A string of cabins extends along the gulch all the way to Bixby's and Whalen, and the Petersons' and Gilis' have just completed good ones. Perfect harmony prevails among the boys, and we are all proud of the show at present and confident of its future. There are splendid possibilities here and we are determined to bring them out.
 Some of these days we'll give thel camp a name and then 1 shall be '' our regular correspondent" from - well, Oekdale, perhaps That would not be a bad one because nearly every one of the cabins is built in the grateful shade of wide spreading oak. No matter about the name, however, we've got what the boys call the "reglar truck, "l and it will stay with us whether iheI child is christened or not.

Timber BnI Passed the Senate

April 19, the following bill passed the United States Senate and was ia. vorably reported in the House and ad. vanced on the calendar ahead of its order, on the 26th:
 That all citizens of the United States and other persons, bona fide residents of the States of Colorado or Nevada. or either of the Territories of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Da- kota, Idaho, or Montana, and all other mineral districts of the United States, shall be, and are hereby authorized and permitted to fell and remove for building, agriculture, mining or other domestic purposes, any timber or other trees growing or being on the public lands, said lands being mineral, and not subject entry under existing laws Of the United States. except for miner al entry, in either of said States, Terri tories, or districts of which such citi- zens or persons may be at the time bona fide residents, subject to such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe for tbe protection of the undergrowth grow ing upon such lands
 Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of the register and the receiver of any To- cal land office in whose district any mineral land may be situated to ascer- tain from time to time whether any timber is being cut or used upon any of such lands, except for the purposes authorized by this act, within their re- spective land districts; and, if so they shall immediately notify the Cnmmis- sioner of the General Land Office of that fact; and all necessary expenses incurred in making such proper exam ination shall be paid and allowed such register and receiver in making up their next quarterly accounts.
 
 Sec. 3. Any person or persons who shall violate the provisions of this act, or any rules and regulations in pursu auce thereof made by the Secretary of the Interior, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic- ton shall be fined in any sum not ex- ceeding $500, and to which may be added imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months.
 The character of the timber lands of California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, requires different legislation, and therefore those States and Territo- ries are omitted from this bill and in- cluded in another which has also pass ed the Senate and is before the House
 As the above quoted bill will surely pass the House and become a law which will govern in Arizona, our Ter ritorial readers would do well 10 pre- serve it for reference.
