4 CHUNK OF GOLD.
rHartford Courant.]

Hartford Courant.l
One day when was at work In the
drift, one of our party who was baiiing
in the shaft said:
"There's something big happened
up above, Tom. I hear great bozzins
and shouting."
=. sfrnck INV pick in the soil and I'M
earthed nugget as big as a walnut.
uPerhaps it's a find here" suggested
my mate.'' r.. 1.-.., -
aThere,s q find here" said, as I
crawled out Of the drift and exhibited
the nugget had just taken out. Then
I heard the clamor also 1t was like
the murmur of distant waves. We
shook the rope, and receiving no an
swer to our signal, concluded that
something important had happened,
as our mates above had evidently left
the windlass. A moment later q
shadow appeared above, and Bills
voice was heard shouting:
.sCome up, boys, and see the big
fnd.''
"Where Is 1t ?'' asked on reaching
the surface but scarcely need to ask
for 1t must be where the crowd was
collected some fifty yards distant from
our claim. The crowd was large and

brawny and broad shouldered,
pushed my way through it, and was
almost overwhelmed with astonish-
ment at tho sight that greeted my
vision-it wasn't nugget, it was a
bowlder. No wonder that the miners
were excited. The spectacle was
enough to exercise tho most phlegmatic
individual that ever breathed.
It was q solid mass of gold, as large
or larger than a leg of mutton, and not
unlike one in shape. This was the
mass which has since been widely
known as the Welcome nugget. A
fac sinaiIe of 1t may be seen in the min
eral department of the Boston Museum
of Natural History, where the weight
is given at 2,165 ounces. and the value
at Sal 1922 20; the further information
is impaired that the nugget is the
largest piece of gold ever found, but
this is an error. A larger nugget was
weighed 1860 ounces.
had been mentally congratulating
myself on the discovery of a nugget Of
large as q walnut, but the sight of this
mass of gold took all the conceit out
of me. Nevertheless, was glad the
nugget had been found, for the claim
from which it was taken was right in
the direction in which we were work
ing, and our claim was daily growing
richer in ore.
The Welcome nugget, as large as il
was, did not enrich its finders, fol
there were twelve shareholders in it.
and it brought them less than 81, OO(
apiece; it would have been a lucky
find for couple of mates. The man
who dug 1t out tainted dead away be-
fore he unearthed 1t. When his pick
first struck 1t, he reached out his hand
to pick up the lump the light from
his candle shone upon it and revealed
its nature. To his surprise it did not
yield to his touch. Then he began tC
feel around it with his hands, and II

He gave it q wrench, but it did no
bulge. Selling his pick he began t
dig around it, and as its proportion
grew under his eyes the spectacl,
overcame him, and he tainted for Joy

Governor Hen.lri and the Ticke

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Ex-Govern-
or Thomas A. Hendricks is in town to-
day, having come here to hear the decis-
ion by Judge Harlan in the case Of the
Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central
and Pennsylvania Railroad companies.
His attention was called to the publica-
ton in some newspapers of the state
ment that, notwithstanding the inter
view with him recently published in the
World, he had since expressed himself
in favor of the ticket of 1876 for the cam
pagn of 1880. Mr.. Hendrick said that
there was no foundation whatever for
such a statement, and gave permission
for the publication of the following let
ter, written by him to q prominent gem
tlcman of this city:
INDIANPoLIs, March 81, 1879.
MY DEAR SIR:-I have your favor OF
the 18th asking whether there is any
foundation for the statement contained in
the newspaper slip which you inclosed to
the effect that have written to members
Of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
favOring the nomination Of the ticket oi
1876 for 1880. am surprised to see
such statement. 1t is without any
foundation in truth. have written no
such letter and have in no form express
ed any such view. did not, as is known,
desire the nomination in 1876 as a candi-
date for the Vice-Presidency, and do not
think il would in any contingency be my
duty again to accept a nomination for a
position which do not desire.
Very respectfully,
7. A. HENDmcKs.

THE New York Herald, Republican,
says THE EXPECTED VETO We
should rejoice TO find that the general
anticipation Of the veto Of the Army Ap-
preparation bill Is mistake, for we be-
lieve that no public interest would suffer
by allowing it to become law, and that
the signing of it by President Hayes
would have tranquillizing influence on
the country. But it is rather to be wish
ed than expected that he will brave the
fury of his own party by approving bill
which all republ leans demand as one
man that he shall veto.

The Democratic Prog ramme.

WAITING FOR A VETO TO BE SENT BE-
FORE DECIDING WHAT TO DO ABOUT
1T.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-It being
universally conceded that the President
will veto the Army bill, speculation is
turning upon the action Ofthe Democrats
after the veto shall be received. All the
stories, however, that have been circulat-
ed about the Democrats backing down
or extending for six months the appro-
priations of the current year are entirely
without foundation. The Democratic
leaders have made no decision as TO their
action in the event of veto simply be-
cause they cannot until they know what
the grounds of the veto are. If the Presi-
dent objects to the bill on some ground
which does not strike at the principle for
which the Democrats are contending,
they will strike out the objectional fea-
lures of the measure and then return /,
to Mr.. Hayes for further action. One
of the most distinguished and at the same
time most conservative Of the Democrat
ic Senators said tonight that his party
friends intended to maintain a wise and
statesmanlike attitude. They would
not caucus, or consult, or make up their
minds individually about the expected
action of the President until they knew
the grounds for that action. They
meant To act fairly with the President
but We mean To insist" continued the
Senator, ''that the people who have the
Federal power shall not use it at all al
the elections"
1t is pretty well known that some o
the more thoughtful Republicans hav,
come to the conclusion that their part,
has taken too advanced and extrem,
| grounds in the debate on the Army bill
and they fear that the people will no
sustain the President in the desire TO re
tain his power To use the troops at TIN
polls. The President is thought, how
to be in the hands of the stalwarts, an,
it is shrewdly suspected that they hav,
put the Presidential. .maggot into his brail
again in order that that they may us
him for their own purposes during tn
remainder of his term. 1t is certain tha
the men who are predicting a veto mos
loudly tonight are not the men VIII
have hitherto been known as Hayes Re
publicans. The veto will not he sent i
tomorrow, probably, as the House wi
undoubtedly adjourn immediately afte
assembling on account Of the death thi
afternoon Of Representative Rush CLARK
Of Iowa.
The daily gazette., 1879-04-29

1T Is QUITE PROBABLE that Mr. Hayes
will be Influenced by the minority in
Congress to veto the Army Appropria-
tion bill, and that he will return his veto
to the House Of Representatives at its
meeting to-day. This hill passed the
House by majority ot II and after more
than two weeks discussion passed the
Senate by majority Of l.; and yet Mr..
Hayes, il is SAID. will veto il. notwith-
standing its only Objectionable feature is
in the fact that ii prohibits the use of
troops at the polls on election days,
which had always bceua principle of the
government. Troops wrr. never allowed
= the elections, in this country. since the
formation Of the constitution until within
the past sixteen or seventeen years. and
then they were only submitted to because
the military power had, through the re-
bellion, been made superior to the civil
power. Troops have not been allowed
80 W ''fh' WV wv 'l'll lHlllS III
for over two hundred wears; and vet the
"stalwat" Republicans have maintained
that it is ''revolutionary to prohibit their
presence hereafter at the polls by the
passage Of an appropriation bill with a
"rider' to that effect. Can anything
show more clearly the ccntralizing ten
dency of the Republican faction?
While the older nations of Europe are
drifting toward more liberal govern
ment, the sialwar1 Republicans here in
this free government are as surely endea
voring to combine all the advantages OF
the power of the army and navy and 1
national monetary system, also in tn,
hand Of the Executive.
This is contrary to the whole systeu
OF government under which the countr,
grew and prosprri from l777 to 1856
and become the envy and the pride of al
the liberal minded statesmen of tn
world.

rv,,popvryT OF THE DAILY GA
zErrE.-The enlargement of the DAILY
GAZETTE to twenty-eight column pa
per has been a desire with us for some
time: but business circumstances prevent
ed its being done as soon as we wished.
We present it to-day, however, in an EN-
larged form, to enable MS to give more
spaee 10 advertisers and at the same time
furnish several columns more Of interest
ing reading matter.
We have not yet made all the improve
ments, in the appearance OF the paper,
we desire; and shall from time to time
continue to perfect its appearance until,
as we hope, it will excel in size and ap-
pearance as ii does in the earnestness and
truthfulness with which it sustains and
advocates the cause Of the people--a
liberal and economical government found
ed upon the democratic republican prin-
ciples of the Fathers Of the Republic.
The GAZETTE is now larger than any
penny paper published in New York,
Philadelphia or Baltimore, except one
and with this exception ii is, and has
been, also far superior to the penny
papers in those cities We have hereto
fore given very large amount of reading
matter, although it did not spread ovel
as much space-the type being smaller
than that used by either Of our city con
temporaries for this purpose. But here
after We shall devote even more attention
to the news and miscellaneous depart
ments and endeayor to make the GA
ZETTE one Of the most entertaining an,
instructive papers Of its class in tn
country. We shall rndcaSor to make
not only instructive and reliable bu
valuable 10 all classes.

DISEASE Is AMONG ANIMALS.
APRIL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON, April 28, 1s70.-Th
April reports of the Department of Ag-
riculture show that all classes of farm
animals came out of winter quarters in
unusually good condition. Diseases
were not of very great extent or virulence,
except among hogs in the South and
West. Large losses from so-called hog
cholera are reported in some counties /;
but in most Of these cases the mortality
can probably be traced to bad sanitary
conditions and to deficiency of feeding.
Four counties in New jersey, one in
New York, one in Pennsylvania and one
in Maryland note the presence ofpleurO-
pneumonia; but these cases, it is believ-
ed, nearly al originated in the dairy
stations of the cities.

MR.. PENDLEroN'> speech in the Sen

members Of the Cabinet seats on the

OF the Press and meets with much favor.
The effort is generally given the credit of
being able; but SO far there has been
timidity about endorsin. the PROPOSITION.
1t will requir" some time Ia look into its
effects. The. has been strong objections
to this cour>r, and it ht, been thought
the ExecutiYe has already too much in
fuence. lis Ministers working for the
interests OF an administration among
Congressmen has ,ayored too much of
"lobbying;' and We doubt whether lib

more now than they did Years ago. when
Henry VIII, and Cromwell and their
Ministers exercised such terrible infiu-
ence in the House of Commons.
