We cant say what proper business
Congress is doing, Or going to do.
Thus far the called session has been
frittered away without accomplish-
ing anything, except adding to the
expense Of tho national Treasury.
The bills demanded by the interests
Of the people, and for the passage OF
which Congress was called, could
easily have been passed in couple
of weeks, IL not days, for they had
all been carefully matured at the re>
gullr session.
We are not alarmed at the action
OF the Rebel Brigadiers, who are do-
ing their best to procure legislation
on the old Calhoun States Rights
platform, for the purpose Of weak en-
lug the rights of the nation. They
are trying to accomplish by legisla-
ton what they failed to maintain on
the field Of battle. They claim that
the nation has no rights which the
States are bound to respect and
when they want to nullify the laws,
or attempt to secede, they want no
interference on tho part of the ma
tional authority they want to be
let alone, and sieze the Forts, ships
and all the property Of the Nation
and convert it to their own use.
That they have attempted to do this,
is the historical record of the coun.
try. Although defeated in their at
tempt by the abitriment of the
sword, they still nurse their wrath
to keep it warm, and chant in tones
Of sorrow tho refrain of their Lost
Cause
1t is we'll that the Rebel Briga-
diers expose their scenes, and let the
people know what they mean to do
if they have tho power. But they
will not dare to carry out their pro.
grammc to it's fullest extent now.
They will back down. They will not
dare to starve the army. and they
will pass the bill providing for it's
support. They will not dare much
longer to lock up the money collect.
ed for the maintenance OF the Gov
ernment, whilst tho revenues are
collected in the usual manner. Such
financial storm az that would raise,
would soon sweep them out Of eSis-
tence and they know it. They are
at tho end of their tether, and have
done their worst at the present scs-
sion. They now are taking counsel
Of their fears.

Several disastrous fires have lately
occurred. The destruction of Par
dee Hall, one of tho Lafayette col
lege buildings at Easton, Pa, which
was erected few years ago and do-
mated by A. Pardee, is among the
notable losses. Ii cost 1925, 900,
and the fixtures $4,000 more. The
loss is almost total The insurance

vive sectional feeling, to haunt the
bloody shirt, and TO build up sue
cess by fomenting discord among
the whites and blacks and of the
South, had wearied and disguised
the masses of the people. The
Democratic party was the great
popular party of. the country, and
the election of 1876 had demon
strated that it represented a clear
maj ority of american voters. But
its success could rever be assured
by harping upon individual
grievances and making it the tool
Of tho am bition of any one man.
What do you think of the Ohio
canvass ?
I think that.Ewing stands a good
chance Of success. He is making a
gallant fight. and deserves the
hearty support of every good Dem
ocrat. His candidacy, and that of
Rice, as opposed to Foster, is an
excellent thing for the party, as
showing the hollowness of the cry
against rebel briesdiers. If the
Republicans would elect their own
soldiers for Office, as the Democrats
Of the South are doing, and those
Of Ohio are trying to do, there
would be very little talk of the
rebel brigadie7s, because the Union
brigadiers would outnumber them
two to one. ! know the money
power is making determined fight
against him. but money doesn't al
ways win. That Foster and Sher-
man are making great effort is
certain.

THE FELICIANA SENTINEL.
A FAST TOWN.

est ana, 1Or IT'S size, the nOlSl-
est city on the continent. 1t
is what miners call a rafting
camp. 1t is close up to the
snowy range, overlooking
California Gulch, the scene
Of the gold-hunting furore Of
1859. At an altitude of about
5000 feet. or. to put it more
fofcibly, nearly two miles
higher than New York, it
may be considered as we'll up
in the world. There is no
place like it in the whole
Rocky Mountains. 1t is
larger city than Deadwood on
the nortn, or Silverton or
Lake city on the south. The
20=year Old towns Of Black
Hawk, Central and George
tomd are nothing to it in pop
ulation, trade. fast money
making and fast everything.
Where Leadville now stands
was a year ago almost a howl
ing wilderness. There were
a few prospectors busying
themselves with turning up
the rocks here and there, but
there was hardly what could
be called a camp. No town
had been staked out. 1t was
not until last spring that place
was organized ard named,
From that time until now PEG
pie have poured in from all
the surrounding country, from
the far east and from the Pa
cific States and territories,
until there is now bustling
city of 5000 inhabitants. 1t
has a mayor, city council, po-
lice and fire departments,
churches, schools, a telegraph
line. daily mails. money-crder
post Office, two newspapers,
three banks AID hundreds of
stores, shops. saloons and 9TH
er features of a new city. The
streets have a sort of stray
Cling regularity. The prin-
cipal thoroughfares are named
Chestnut, Pine, State and
Harrison avenues. Almost
everything is cheaply built,
the stores which carry the
largest stocks being mere
cabins. There are few story
and a half and two story
buildings. Lumber is in great
demand. and the three or four
saw mills in the vicinity are
not adequate to supply the
need. Lately business men
have begun to plan larger
and better structures, brick
yards, have been started, and
some fine blocks are under
way. The prevailing spirit is
that Of rampant speculation.
People take out claims. tear
up the rocks a little, some
times salt them, get some
plausible do-nothing to talk
up the discovery, and it is cut
a few days before all avarici-
Gus 'tender-foot' catches the
bait at q high figure. Lott
brokers, who have the refusal
of most all the desirable prop
erty in town, lot jumpers and
city addition p!atters drive a
big business. Everything par
takes of the nature Of a grand
debauch. Men seem to be
carried away with the excite
ment, and no longer satisfied
with the plodding and cure
footed business ways, seem
lost in a mad, furious chase for
fortunes. Of course, saloons,
dance-houses, theatcrs and
keno dens flourish in such a
place as this.

VIEWS OF MR.. HENDRICKS.

lion mere, anu INC HlOCk 1SluuOerS
are watching his movements with
the greatest interest.
In reference to the Presidential
succession he says he has not alter
ed his mind since he wrote his ia
nous letter refusing point blank to
take the second place again on the
old ticket. Standing on the clean
wet sands of the beach, in the bright
sunlight, ne stated his position to
your correspondent asfollows:
wrote that letter deliberately
after having been forced to do it by
the Misrepresentation to which I
was being subjected. 1. was openly
announced in the Pennsy lvania
newspapers that 1 had written to
Democratic friends in that State and
elsewhere saying that I was in fa-
vor of the old ticket. They even
pretc nded to quote my words and
misrcpresented me as saying that
the denomination of the St. Louis
candidate was a thing to be COM
mended.' I never made such an
avowal, and never said anything
which could be tortured into it. l
desire the success of the Democracy
as heartily as any one, and am as
ready to sink personal preferences
as any one, but l can see no reason
why 1 should be forced to take the
nomination for an office which I
never sought and do not desire.
How came you to take it in '76 I?
accepted it then because the
circumstances attending it render
ed such course imperative. The
nomination was rendered unani-
mously, and in such way that
could not have retired without do
ing serious injury to the ticket, and
appearing ungracious not only tc
the Convention but to the friends
Who had worked so hard for me in
the first place. Now the case is
different. They know and the pub
lie know that l do not want the
place and never wished it. The
Democracy Of Indiana understand
this, and so does the party gcner-
ally. When Mr.. Tilden and my
self were nominated in 1875, the
Democracy OF Indiana did splendid
service for the party. We carried
that State against a combine ticn of
money, talent, and hostile influeu-
ces such as has rarely been seen be-
fore. There never was stronger
fight made by any party than that
which resulted in the election of
Williams and the Democratic State
ticket by 5000 majority in a total
poll of 100000. Tho State was
deluged with money from Wash
ington, with of1iceholders, paid
speakers, and every apr lance of
election. The bloody shirt was
waved negroes colonlzed from Ken
lucky, and every appliance which
the most ingenious and corrupt of
partisans could invent was put in
practice to beat US. We triumphed
finally, and trirmped in the belief
that our ticket, if elected, would be
inaugurated.
What do you think of the pros
poets of the Democracy in the
coming campaign.
l think it will via, provided it
is united. 1t cannot go on fig htiDg
and wasting its strength by inter-
nal quarrels. 1t must be strong
and united, with a bold front, and
with candidate for President
whose record it is not necessary to
disown or explain away. With
such candidate, for whom there is
no need to apologize, we will win,
and not otherwise. Mr.. Hendricks
added that he did not regard the
