GARFIELD is reported to have been O,

taken by spasm of good sense. In discuss
ing tie diplomatic appropriation bill on
Tuesday, he declared that any further at
tempts to arouse sectional prejudices will be
oyerthrown and condemned by the country
This is supposed to have been intended as
blow at Blaine, whose efforts to re inaugurate
the bloody shirt war have provoked con-
siderable comment. If Garfeld's conversion
shall prove to be genuine, we may expect to
experience some benefit from his efforts, for
in his own party he is a man of no incon-
siderable influence.

Don't Believe in the Supreme Being.
Among the Jurors summoned bv the Unit,

Among the jurors summoned by the United
States marshal fr service at the present term
of the circuit court, is Mr.. J. F. Macomber, of
Hastings. The usual written notice was sent
out from the marshal's office. It was returned
yesterday, and upon the back Of it was Endorsed
ready acceptance of the service. He, Macum-
Der, expressed his readiness TO serve
his country as a juror, but still
he had some conscientious scruples about it,
for he expressed doubt as to his ability to
serve. The cause assigned was, II do not be-
lieve in God, nor do I believe in the Bible as
the word of God.' Such return to sum
mons the marshal never received before. No
provision for such case was made in ssthe
court rules" The marshal relieved himself
of any further embarrassment by handing
over ssthe return" to Judge Dillon.
He called his associate Judge Nelson, in for
consultation. Courts have dernier resort in
all perplexities by re1narking, eve will take it
under advisement.''
So MIR. Macomber's religious creed will be
judicially passed upon by the United States
circuit court.

Leadville Silver Mines of Colorado.

DENVER Dec. l1.-New discoveries of rich
silver deposits continue in the vicinity of Lead
vile. 1t appears that nearly two millions
pounds of base bullion were transported from
Leadville by one route in November, and up
wards of twice that quantity of high grade.
The Colorado Springs shipments alone in No

tx the standard of values, and read at first
as though it was in the exact direction of
equallzlng gold and silver, and making them
lnterconvertible; but at the close of the bill
he provides that silver dollars shall be inter
changeable with gold upon demand, when
presented in sums of $500 or multiples
thereof, and it is made the duty of the secre-
tary of the treasury to cause to be carried
such silver dollars as to meet the demand;
and then it provides for the repeal of all pro-
visions of law that limit the coinage of silver.
The effect of this last clause would be to take
from the silver dollar its legal tender value
for all sums less than 500, or whatever
sums are not multiples of that amount. The
eleven foot has fortunately been disclosed,
and Mr.. Hewitt's bill will be consigned to
