1t ID proposed i'll some quarters to
change she law relating to the location
of mineral lands by making them square,
with vertical lines instead of oblong,
as at present. An exchange comments
ing ON the subject, says. We adss
not prepared to say that it may not be
the best adapted to golab mining,
the conditions of which are alto
gether or mainly different from
these of silver mining, Bat it is
cetainly not at all adapted to the
latter. Square locations with vertical
boundaries would make silver raining SO
hazardous. aud uncertain business that
few weaid engage i'll it, for the chances
would almost be against the discoverer,
and the work Of prospecting and
opening the veins would be for
the. most part a sort of jackal SER
vice, performed for the benefit of sharp
speaulatops whose knowledge as to the
location of the patent lode would be
obtained at the expense of the prospec-
tors. The "dips, spurs, angles and
sinuosities of silver bearing veins
would play havoc with the vertical
boundary principle, and manifestly
would defeat the true end os all legisla-
ton, which of course must be the secflrA
ing Of justice to all men"

man Is taken to the contrary those who win
be held responsible for the proposed change
should fully inform themselves of the facts.
We have no disposition to arraign the patri-
otism or honesty of any man uniustly, but
observation goes far to establish the fact
that such zeal as attends this new measure
of reform, as it is claimed, is not purely q
child of unselfshness. Patriotism, pure and
simple, does not usually incite to q wild ro-
mancing with facts and figures for the nc
complishment at best of questionable end.
This assault upon department of the Gov
eminent is so bald and wears such peculiar
features that II should be regarded by Dem
ocrats who yet have some care for their own
and the public welfare with marked eau
tion and deliberation. They cannot afford
to become parties to too huge steal.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

We have no idea, little respect rs we have
for the political principles and policies OF
the Democrats in Congress, that they will
openly become accomplices in an attempt
TO give the Government Printing Office
away, to shut ii up, or to farm it out to the
breaking up of an established economy and
convenience to the Government to crafty
the cupidity of ring of plunderers. That
is all there is of this new measure. 1t seeks
personal aggrandizement at the public ex-
pense It seeks TO upset system that has
served the Government better and cheaper
for the same class of work than ever before
under contract. Experience is good tutor
in life's affairs and should be needed in
forming judgments and arriving at conclu-
siOns If the present system Is vast i'm
proyement on that of contracting, as form
erly, and those in the Departments who
have had to do with both bear strong tes-
timOny of that fact then why should the
Government take step backward
The unanimous testimony Of those who
have long served the Government in its
several Departments where large
amount of printing and binding are
required, and who have had much expe-
rience in such matters, is that the print
ing and binding for the Government is much
better and moro promptly done, and, as the
records show, for much less cost for the
same amount of work than formerly. This
testimony is available now in the expert
ences of honorable officials and in the pub
! lie records, and before the ipSe diTh of any

VAR ANNIVERSARIES.
Pertinent Extracts from the Chronology OF
the Rebellion.


MAY 23-The United States frigate Missis-
sippi compelled to return to Boston for repairs,
her machinery having been tampered with by
secret enemies of the Government. First and
Second Ohio Volunteers arrived in Washington
from their encampment in Pennsylvania. Bat
tories of Whitworth guns reached New York
from the loyal Americans in Europe. First
Confederate flag captured at Alexandria by
William McSpedon, of New York city. and
Samuel Smith, of Queens County, New York.
1869.
MAY 23-Colonel Henley, commanding Front
Royal, Va, was driven thence by largo force
of rebels under Ewcll. The Union loss was
very heavy. Captain Tilford, with forty men,
fought 200 Texans for three hours seven miles
from Fort Craig, N. NJ, but was finally
obliged to retreat 10 the fort with the loss Of
three wounded. Battle of Lewisburg, Va
Three thousand Confoderates under General
Heath attacked two regiments under Colonel
Crook. After spirited fight of an hour the
rebels were routed In utter confusion. Thirty
eight dead and sixty-six wounded were left on
the field 100 prisoners, 300 stand of arms, and
four pieces of artillery were captured Union
loss, ten killed and forty wounded. Grand
Gulf, Miss, shelled.
1868.
MAY 23-Thc Richmond Whig in long
article on the state of affairs in the Southwest,
spoke very despondingly. 1t said, however,
that If Pemberton was whipped and Vicks-
burg captured they would yet have material
for large armies under abler and better gen.
erals, and called on the Southern people to
rally TO their standards aud swell the ranks OF
the armies Tho London Times of this date,
in an editorial, said: "Thc end of this war is
not looked for from any return TO conscien-
tiousness or humanity, any conviction that the
cause is unjust and success hopeless the end
must come by the slower process of exhaus-
tion, either OF men or of that real enthusiasm
which fights instead of breaches"
1864.
MAY 23-The Second and Fifth Corps of the
Army of the Potomac having driven the rebels
from their strong positions in the vicinity OF
1aylor's Bridge, on the North Anna, after most
gallant fighting, the passage OF the North Anna
was substantially secured. The whole Fed
eral army then began to cross the river. Con
eral Sherman having left garrisons at Kingston
and Rome, Ga, moved his army toward Dallas

FERNANDO Woodland no one knows
better-admits that the Democrats cannot
hope to carry New York so long as the cleo

very candid and truthful admission, which
reveals the milk in the cocoanut Without
unbridled fraud and corruption the Demo-
crats cannot carry New York. This is not
new to the people who reside in that State.

BLACKBURN, and other hotheads of even
less discretion, are leading them a veritable

blacks have been freed, in name, it is true,

the political aspect of to-day is the same as
it was when Nullification and State Rights
were the dominant influences in that same

nre the facts, indisputable facts, that give

accomplish for us as nation ?"
