Bullion.

HI tH- Ea
Last week W or three Of the Butte mills
being closed for repairs, the bullion ship
ments were very light, but the current week
promises to make a more favorable record for
itself. Yesterday seven very large bars from
the Alice, 929 lbs. in all, were sent out by ex-
press, the result of the first run since the fur
mace feeders were put in. Immediately after
those bars were billed for shipment, seven
more, of about the same size, were delivered
at the express office from the Silver Bow mill.
Mention is made of this mill rather infre-
quently, from the fact that there is just about
as much change to be noted in its operation
as there is in the running of an eight-day
clock, in good or and well tended. In Au-
gust the La Plata shipped 10 bars of silver,
averaging 1926 lbs. to the bar, and for the
month closing to-day an equal number of
like weight have left the mould, indicating a
yield OF something over a ton and an eighth
of fine bullion per month. Z

/. "a .8 Public Spirit.

Mr.. B. F.. White, the commission merchant
at the terminus, is not a citizen Of Butte,
ignores the PITY but for all that he contrib
utes the full share of a public spirited citizen
towards Butte's prosperity. Transacting a
large freightjng business for the business men
of this city she feels himself to a certain de-
gree identified with its interests, and accord
ingly does what he eau towards the further
ance of its prosperity and the assurance of its
welfare. How well he contributes towards
this end can be understood from the following
letter which speaks for itself:
TERMINUS U. n. RY., Idaho,
September 25th, 1870.
II. McMmphey, Sec'y. Butte Fire Brigade,
Butte city, Montana:
DEAR SIR: 1 have the pleasure of send
ing you herewith the bill of lading of your
steam fire engine, which arrived from Seneca
Falls yesterday, and left here to-day at noon
on one Of my trains. You can look for its
arrival in about thirteen or fourteen days.
As promised you last spring, l take it throrgh
without charge, and am pleased to have an
opportunity of donating this much towards
your noble enterprise. Hoping il will arrive
safe and please you, as l think it will, | re-
main Yours truly,
'Hs ...". q, b. F. WHITE.
Now, since SO literally helping q hand has
been extended our town by a gentleman who
never even visited it, who has very little di-
rectly at stake here, it is to be hoped that the
Butte men whose every dollar is invested in
Butte property, whose homes and firesides
are here, will have sufficient energy, sufficient
public spirit. to make something of an adj
rance in the salne direction. The steamer
will be here next week. A house must be
provided for it an active, not merely orna-
mental, fire company should be formed at
once, and many other things attended to. No
great outlay of time or money is required in
attending to such matters. but nevertheless
they are not self-operative, and if they are to
be lone at all somebody must take hold and
consent to work a little. The Secretary of
the Brigade, Mr.. McMurphey, publishes Il
card elsewhere calling Brigade meeting for
this evening. For once let a little interest be
manifested. Let something more than a cor
porals guard report at roll call.

would be open to the objection that engine

needed; but with any sort of discipline or

present no difficulties. Several frost-proof

Worse and Worse.

New phases of the so-called Democratic
and Greenback fusion in this County, make
the swindle more and more noteworthy. 1t
has been charged that the nominees were Of
ficious and influential in intiicting the coali-
ton upon the Greenback Conven ion that Mr..
Chaplin, by superior parliamentary skill sue
ceeded in getting his minority report substi-
tuted for the report of a majority of the COM
mittee who were opposed to the sale OF the
party. This majority consisted of the most
judicious and sagacious men of the conven-
ton, but were not skilled in parliamentary
tactics. The management on the part OF
Chaplin was not dishonest. He was only at
work, by legitimate means at his control, for
his private advantage; but it is charged also
that Rev. Mr. Eaton was swindled out OF the
nomination to which the actual vote OF the
Convention entitled him. When the whole
history of the fusion intrigue shall be writ
ten it will be political epic. County eau
cuses packed by hired agents dispatched by
interested Democrats of Portland to secure
delegates in favor of fusion; the basis OF rep
resentation arbitrarily changed SO as best TO
secure the same result, done at Portlan ;the
report of the majority of the select commit
tee of the Convention, which was opposed TO
fusion, set aside by parliamentary tricks ana

astute political observer, Senator Chandler,
gives it as his opinion that the Republicans
will carry Maine on the popular vote if
proper attention is given to the back dis
tricts. The Senator's experience with the
Greenback element in Michigan, gives his
statement more than ordinary weight. He
says the country places are the chief strong
holds of the Greenbackers. and it is there
that they must be met and their positions
assailed To use the Senator's own words !:
''You must smoke these people out OF their
holes" In his tour of the State he has
found the people more anxious to hear about
the Southern question than any other. The
Senator expresses great admiration for the
earnestness and enthusiasm of the Maine
Republicans, and the reception given him
wherever he has spoken"

LABOR is oppressed in the United States,
is it? We are worse off than the pauper la
borers of Europe, are we? Listen to this sum-
ming up of our consular agents that prove
the following things:
1. That wages in the United States are
double those of Belgium, Denmark, France
and England, three times those OF Germany,
Italy and Spain, and four times those of the
Netherlands.
g. That the prices of the necessaries OF life
are lower in the United States than in Europe,
and that the laborer in the United States, were
he satisfied with the scanty and miserable fare
upon which the European laborer must live,
can purchase like food for less money than it
can be purchased for in Europe.
3. That the French working people, with
far less wages, are happier than the working
people of Great Britain, who receive the high
est wages in Europe, ON account of the steadi-
ness and the economical habits of the former,
and the Strikes drinking habits and conse-
auent recklessness of the latter.
4. That more misery results from strikes.
drinking, socialism and communism in Eng
land and Germany than from all other causes
combined, hard times included.
