The tactics OF the Republicans NAV ff

The tactics OF the Republicans may force
sgeneral legislation after all They are
sstriving to arouse the old sectional sentiment,
! and to this end are discussing the appropria.
Ytion bills with the utmost virulence. As a
relief from the continued political strain and
for the purpose OF giving the country some
thing else to think about the Democrats pro-
pose to Introduce other subjects. This may
be good policy. 1t seems however. that the
best plan Is for the discussion upon the APP
precipitation bills to take the widest possible
range. The Democratic party has large
majority OF the people with IL upon every
political proposition involved, and the more
thoroughly they are ventilated the more fully
viii the wisdom Of the majority In Congress
ebe indicated.

The Baltimore Gazette announces that Zach

would, Of course, be pronounced absurd. die
not the country know that the Republicans
do not require honesty or capacity from theil
candidates; that all they want Is bitterness
sectionalism and hatred, and these Zach
possesses to such an extent as to entitle him
to unanimous nomination for the Presi

done Is q matter Of economy. At pres.
emit II takes $500 per day to furnish the
wood alone to run the pumps. Since
the big Knowles was lowered an add.
tional outlay for wood has been rendered
necessary. the amount used having been
increased between Ave and six cords per
day. II will take four or Ave months 10
get ready to resume, and during that
time great expenditures will DO avoided.
The suspension Of operations In the
Savage will necessitate q like action on
the part Of the Hale & Norcross. To.
morrow that mine will be flooded.
The expenditure for pumping Savage
water at the Chollsr. Norcross.Savage
shaft was about $500 per month.
That, too, will be saved by the closing
down, the connection between the mines
being bulkheaded.
How high the water will raise In these
mines remains to be seen; probably not
a. high u before. since tho last time
the water was up Il failed TO reach the
altitude OF its frst level.
Again, several crossouts have been cut
into the ledge by the Savage and Hale q
N~orcross. The water Is from the west
country. It will, however. find It's way
now into the lode proper through these
orosscuts. The GINS. drift west will

Superintendent Kelly had formed Q

the connection With the GINS. shaft
by working in four places. He intended
to sink the incline to the required depth.
also the winze, work both ways from the

OF the GINS. shaft is now out &c feet.
and will soon reach the point from which
II is proposed to run branch drifts to the
several mines. The best thing now to
do 10 to shove these branches ahead at
lightning speed.
