NEW YORK.

New YORK, Aug. 12.-The pub
l.shed correspondence and state
ments of the principals in the affair
of last week at Ex-Governor
Sprague's mansion, Narragansett
Pier, R. l., assert that in addition
to the difficulty reported between the
x-Governor and a German teacher,
there was wordy encounter
between the former and Senator
Conkling, who, as the first dis
patches stated, was a guest at the
Sprague mansion. Accounts vary
so widely in regard to the affair, and
the parties concerned have taken
such official measures to prevent the
whole story becoming public, thai
it is impossible to ascertain the pre-.
else facts.

MINOR DISPATCHES.

MoRR1sTowN, N. J., Aug. 12.-
Reports from all parts of North
New Jersey indicate great revival
in the iron trade. Mines, furnaces
and forges which have been idle
since the panic and 1873 are being
repaired and work pushed forward,
in many places working night and
day. New mines are being opened
and new furnaces built, notably at
Chester and Portoram, and at all
points from Phillipsburg eastward
to Dover there is a demand for ores
such as has not existed since 1873.
MARsHALLTowN, Iowa, Aug. II.
The State Greenback Conven-

and only thirty-three delegates
were present. There is no indica-

the convention to day has merely
been to harmonize the two factions
of the party and inaugurate a more
radical policy for 1881.

LONDON, Enc, August IA
dispatch to the Times from
Berlin says: It may be af-
firmed, judging from the violent
and repeated onslaughts against
Germany in the St. Petersburg
press, that Russia thinks she has a
grievance against Germany. There
is reason to believe that these on
slaughts represent, though in a very
exaggerated form, the views Of

Ministry is on the eve of solution.
Count Toafe, the present Minister

Of Count Andrassy, the Austro-
hungarian Premier, meets with less
credence in Vienna than it does in
Pesth, where his policy of occu-
patton of Turkish provinces is very

that Andrassy's retirement will be

A LATE number of the New York

A LATE number of the New York
Tribune says:
Democrats have assumed the gen.
eral correctness of Mr.. Thurman's
figures, which made out that prior TO
1860 the annual cost Of maintaining
the Government under Democratic
rule was 81 "a per head. aud that the
annual cost for 1860 to 1875, under Re
publican rule. was So As per head. The
statistical officers of the Treasury De-
partment have recently tabulated the
expenditures of the Government since
its foundation, and this shows that
the annual cost per capita for eight
years prior to 1851 was $262 in gold,
and that the annual cost per capita
from 1869 to 1876, less those growing
out of the war. was So 20. This puts
new face on Thurman exposure,
and as il is official and open to iDspec'
tion, it is not likely to be questioned
But this still embraces vast sums
directly chsrgeable to the war-such
as the need of increased clerical ser
vice in the Departments, the addition
of new bureaus, the increase of the
Army, etc. The expenses directly
growing out of the war, and which art
certainly chargeable to the Democratic
party, are thus tabulated:

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1879-10-18

The Virginia Enterprise, in reference to
az. article in the Carson Appeal, has this to
say concerning the L. & 2. Railroad: The
Eureka and Palisade Railroad was built by
private capital. The stage and freight lines
which ran between Eureka and Palisade
were bought off by the company. The bus
mess Of no man and Of no company was
interferr ed with by the owners of the rail
road. 1t reduced the price OF passage over
the line fifty per cent, the price OF freight
more than that amount; while it saves
in time and comfort to passengers, and in
taking from merchants the necessity of car
rying heavy stocks Of goods, have been Of
incalculable benefit to Eureka. That town
was saved in actual expense 81 600, 900 per
annum since the road was completed,
an d in enabling the citizens There to util-
ize resources which before were of no avail
to them, it has given them 81 ,000, 600 per
INT more. The citizens Of Eureka who
own property appreciate this and are
greatful for it.
What has that road or its owners ever
dom to merit the ribald abuse Of men who
never organized or carried out any enter
prise in their lives? The advantage which
the road would give to its builders were
fully,pointed out day after dayin the Eureka
SENTINEL, and yet it was years before any
capitalists could be found with the nerve
to build it.

The Superintendent is DESTROYS Of knowing

in the case, without advocating either the

Bright Prospects for - Prosperous
Camp.
From the Silver State, 10th.
Thos. ]. Taylor, an experienced miner
and smelter, who went from Eureka to
South Mountain to examine the mines Of
that section, and, if favorably impressed
with their appearance, to start a smelling
furnace to reduce the ores, arrived here
yesterday on his way home. He is Of the
opinion that the mines are rich and perma-
nent, and that South Mountain is destined
to be a great producer Of base bullion. A
furnace is successfully running on ore from
the Mono, and he thinks there is ore
enough to keep it running until a tunnel,
which is now being run cuts the ledge,
after which he thinks there will be no
trouble in getting plenty Of ore. The first
shipment Of bullion was made from the
furnace Saturday. 1t consisted OF ten tons,
which assays S665 in silver to the ton. An
other shipment will be made this week,
and as the furnace is running splendidly,
it is expected that shipments will be made
regularly henceforth. Mr.. Taylor believes
that South Mountain is destined to be a
lively camp, and that it will be one Of the
greatest base bullion producing districts
on the coast.
