Disappointed Democracy.
Washington 25.-The decision Of the
greenbackers to unitedly oppose attach
ing political legislation to the appro-
priation bills has introduced an element
into democratic counsels which they
had not anticipated. If the green
hackers adhere to their decision, the
democrats will have but two majority
for measures requiring their entire
vote. In this view an all summer fight
with the administration is more easily
talked of than cared for. The republi-
cans are preparing for the contest of
the democratic advance on laws for the
honest elections at every step, both by
exhaustive debate and by parliamenta-
ry devices. There is no disposition to
yield, and bills will only reach the pres
ident when all other means of contest
ing them has failed in the house and
then in the senate.
There are nine precedents, all COM
ing down from good old democratic
days, for the seating of Bell in the sem
ate. but in view of the narrow working
majority, the senate elections commit
tee will do in other cases as it did in his
to-day, and try and increase the demo-
cratic majority. Kellogg's case will
next be considered.

NEW YORK.
A Big Blaze.

New York, March pa fire oc-
CURED at 2 this morning in Lilienthal's
tobacco establishment, in Pearl street.
Three alarms had been sounded, proba-
bly, owing to the narrowness and crook
edness of the street, and the fact that
the elevated railroad. which passes in
front of the building, was likely to him
der the firemen. 1t is still burning at
this hour, and the whole lower portion
of the city is deluged in deep smoke.
Engines on the elevated railroad which
are kept over night south of the place
now burning, all ran the guantlet to
the north of Lilienthal's to be ready
for the days business in any event.

Washington, March 25.-The cabi-
net to-day decided to call the attention
of the British government to the report
that Sitting Bull, now an Indian of the
Dominion of Canada, proposes to make
raid upon United States settlements.
The joint commission which visited
Sitting Bull in IT, agreed for the two
governments that Sitting Bull should
henceforth be treated by both govern
ments as a Canadian Indian. 1t will
be held that Canada is reponsible for
the acts of these Indians as for any
others within her territory.

ACCORDING to advices from Panama
of March 18th, the situation in Bolivia
is unchanged. Chile. holds the Boliv-
ian ports, and will not give them up
without fight. The latest news was
that three Peruvian iron-clads were
ordered to proceed to Iquique imme-
diately. Three thousand soldiers are
under orders to proceed there also as
soon as transportation could be obtain
tanned. Events are Fastening the
opening of hostilities, the result of
which no one can predict. That Chile
will have both Bolivia and Peru to
fight, appears to be a foregone conclu-
sion. Peru has old humiliations to
avenge, and this is her opportunity.

A Land Case in the Supreme Court.

Land Case in the Supreme Court.
Washington, March 20. In the
supreme court to-day, argument was
commenced in the case of William H.
Platt. appellant, and F. L. Ames, on
an appeal from the circuit court for
the district of Nebraska. The contro-
versy involves the question as to wheth-
er settler may make pre-emption
upon lands granted by congress to the
Union Pacific railroad company, under
section 8, of the act of July 1st, 1862.
That act provides that "all such lands
so granted by this section, which shall
not be sold or disposed of by said COM
pany within three years after the entire
road shall have been completed, shall
be subject to settlement and pre-emp-
ton like other lands, at a price not
exceeding 81 .25 per acre, to be paid to
said company" The company denies
the right of the settler to pre-empt, on
the ground that the mortgage executed
by 1t in 1867. to secure its bonds, was
the disposal of the lands within the
meaning of the third section of the act
referred to. The question is highly
important one, and involves large prop
erty interests beyond those Immediately
in the suit.

Prospects Brigh,enlng for Republican

Prospects Frightening for Republicans.
Washington, March 25.- The ac-
tion taken by the senate election
committee to-day, in deciding that Bell
was not appointed legally as senator, by
the governor Of New Hampshire, was a
surprising decision, and one that has
no precedent. There will be a sharp
debate when the question comes up in
the senate.
Senator Wallace has called the meet
ing of his committee, late the Teller
committee, for tomorrow, and proposes
to begin work by examining George G.
Gorham, the deposed secretary of the
senate, regarding the raising of money
from government officials for political
purposes.
There is bitter feeling in republican
circles to-day. The president, while
not disposed to say in advance what his
action will be in regard to signing or
disappearing bills passed by congress,
has given satisfactory assurances that
he is in entire harmony with his party,
and that he has not the slightest idea
Of doing anything which is likely to
disturb their present relations.
1t is the belief of the most prominent
republican members of the house to-
day that the present session will termi-

We extract the following from
lengthy, well written article on the sub.
jsct. In the Boston Commercial Bulletin
OF February 22d. The article Is very
interesting throughout, and We are sorry
We have not room to publish It entire +:
The present excitement in the gold and
silver regions OF the Pacific coast affords
us q good excuse for referring briefly but
comprchensively to the history Of mining
In the precious metals In the United States;
and In doing SO we may call 10 mind many
interesting facts which may have been for
gotten In the course OF the rapidly occur
ring events Of the past few ~years-events
which have changed the entire status Of
gold aud silver in Its relations TO finance
and commerce. In fact, American mining
is at the present time attracting the at.
tention Of the whole civilized world.
Its profits are more colossal than wo
have sver known. The element OF chance
which makes the business 80 fascinating.
L.. OF course. inseparabls from II, and II 10.
perhaps, to this element must be traced
much OF the development Of the business.
California. Nevada and Colorado arc the
three grand State bonanzas Of American
mining. The United States Is destined TO
be the great specie producing country OF
the world. The immense production OF
gold and silver In Nevada aud California
Alono astonishss the world. whilo tho
entire production Of the precious metals
west OF the Mississippi during tho last
three years was S275. AZ, 900. The yield
In 1876 was l~argertthan that Of any pre-
vious year. but that OF 1877 was larger.
while that Of the current year promises TO
pe still larger or elualling $i00. 00O. 900.
More than one-half Of this wealth now
comes from Nevada, and tho greater
proportion OF this amount OF the
famous Comstock lode. the mines Of which
have already paid about $40. 000,.
900 in dividends alone. From two OF these
mines-the Consolidated Virginia and tho
California, silver to the amount OF $780,
000, 900 has been taken. Tho bonanza
mines give IS per cent. Of silver TO IS per
cent. Of gold. The production Of silver
within the territory OF the United States
corresponds at six per cent. per annum, 10
Q capital Of $3.50, 600. 900; or. allowing for
the labor, etc.. employed with It's extrac.
ton, to one-half per cent, Of $375 ,000, 900.
This Is q vast interest. The capital stock
Of these silver mines is $500. 000, 900.
The production OF our mines Of precious
metals Is nov about $95. 900. 900 per
mum. Compare this with the early
mining OF the country. Although many
