Special Deputies ut Cincinnati.

The investigation at Cincinnati, by q
House committee, into the Congress
sional election in thst city in 1873, has
already shown pretty plainly that the
appointment of special Deputy Mar
shals to look after that election was
simply for the purpose of assisting the
Republican party. The Marshal, who
made the appointments, admitted on
the stand that if he selected Demo-
crat it was by mistake, and it was
shown by abundant testimony that the
names of the appointees were kept
secret. The man who had charge of
the special deputies admitted that
none were placed in the strongest Re-
publican precincts of the city, but that
a large force was sent to nearly every
strong Democratic precinct. 1t was
further shown that, contrary to law.
deputies were assigned to wards and
precincts in which they did not reside,
and that a considerable number of
them were persons whose past career
was not well calculated to fit them for
an honest discharge of their duties.
In addition to the admitted partisan
ship which was the first qualification
required, it appears that if a special
deputy had "killed his man," that
Jact III Ho way lnilitdICu ~ niuS1 HIS
appointment. The evidence shows
that at least three of the special depu-
ties had been accused of homicide,
and that two, at least, we're guilty.
How many there were who had been
guilty of other crimes of violence
does not yet appear; but with two
or three man killers at the head, the
probability is that the number was
large.
1 his is the class of men whose duty
it was to guard the purity OF the bal
lot box'' in strong Democratic pre-
cincts, leaving the strong Republican
precincts to get along without such
protection. A force of plug uglies
under Republican partisan control was
mustered for duty on election day; and
he is simple citizen indeed who be-
lieves that the purpose which actuated
their selection was desire to secure a
fair election. A better class of agents
would have been selected if there had
been an honest purpose to faithfully
execute the provisions of bad law.
The Republicans would appreciate the
situation great deal better If at every
Republican precinct there had been
from four to ten Democratic special
deputies, selected for their unscrupu-
lousness, armed with large powers and
paid for by the people; especially if
there were no Republican deputies at
Democratic precincts. No voices would
be raised more loudly than theirs
against the outrageous character of
such pro :eeding. but it would be no
more than the outrage to which the
Democrats of Cincinnati were sub
iected.-DetrOt Free Press.

IT is now clear, says the New York
Graphic, that the United States will be
able to export to Europe of this years
wheat crop not less than I6O, OOO, 900
bushels, and possibly 100000, 900 bush
els. From careful estimates the latter
figures are probably nearer the mark
The European demand last year was for
159 ,OO0,0 900 bushels out of a crop ag-
gregating about 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
Europe thus taking nearly half our pro-
duct for that year. The current def
cheney in Europe is estimated at not less
than 225, 600 900 bushels, not including
that of France or England which together
will probably want not less than 20O,-
600, 900 bushels additional. Taking the
continent of Europe a IA whole, the
most moderate estimates place the pros
pective demand so high that it will
easily absorb our entire surplus, which
may be safely counted upon to exceed
somewhat that of last year. The de-
mand abroad, however, will not promise
high prices, yet, with cheap transporta-
ton to the seaboard and across the At
lantic, our home farmers have reason to
expect full sales and good margins Of
profit,

Mines.
SEATTLE, W. T.. Noyem

SEATTLE, W. T., November ~.
Mitchell Hilbert, Of this city, an old
miner of many years experience, and for
the past six years engaged in mining opera
tions in Cossiar, left here three weeks ago
for the newly-discovered Skagit gold mines.
Being an expert in this line, his return has
been awaited with great interest by many
interested parties here, who were generally
disposed to accept his report on the mines
as conclusive. Mr.. Hilbert arrived here
this morning. and was interviewed by a
correspondent. He states that his party
was engaged six days in polling up the
Skagit river from Mount Vernon to the
head OF canoe navigation, thence two and
a half days making the trip overland to the
diggings, packing from rs to 100 pounds to
each man over a very difficult foot trail.
At the time he left but little work was being
done. Mr.. Hilbert prospected eight pans
of top gravel, from which he obtained 80
cents. This. he states, is much richer than
any top gravel found in Cossiar. He also
prospected five pans, from which he OBJ
tanned 10 cents. Other parties were maxi
ing IS per day by running top gravel.
Most claims will be hard to open, the bed
rock in many places being 10 to 20 feet be-
low the surface. Claims are being located
very fast. Work will be continued till the
first Of December or later. As a general
thing, however, operations will be sus-
pended till spring. He predicts that there
will be from 1900 to 1000 men in the
mines e season. The rush will COM
mence about the first Of March. A pack
trail by the present route, which is greatly
needed, he says will cost from $500 to
%1 0O0

We had an account last week Of the find
ing of the remains of old man Bodie, the
original discoverer of the nov renowned
Bodie mining district. The remains were
given decent burial by the citizens Of the
town, R. d. Ferguson ~pronouncing an
eloquent enlogy at the grave. 1t appears
that the old pioneer persisted in a snow
storm near his mining claim in the winter
of 1859. His scanty stock Of provisions
had given out, and he had started in quest
OF a new supply, when he met his death
as above described. The story is rounded
off by the Cleaveland (Ohio) Leader,
which gives the following account of the
Bodie family
His wife, hoping against hope that she
might some day hear of him again, has
toiled as a seamstress during all these
years to support herself and her children.
Even in this misfortune has fallen thickly
upon her. One by one her children sick
ened and died until she had laid six of
them to rest in the cemetery. Last week
the now aged woman received a telegram
from San Francisco announcing the find
ing of the remains of her Inflated hus-
band. In his wanderings he probably fell
into a deep canyon filled with frozen o
which has till now preserved the secret of
his death. Even yet misfortune pursues
the aged widow, for the letter of a CORE
spondent of the New York World says that
after his death his discouraged partners
dumped the claim" and the mine was
reopened by others, in whom is now the
legal possession. We trust that this will
prove an error, and that the poor hero's
claim to a share in the mine is still good
enough to bring the comforts of affluence
to smooth the declining years of his now
destitute widow.

De YOung's Case More of Kear-
ney's BOmbast.

SAN FRANcIsco, November 10.
In the Municipal Criminal Court yester-
day argument was entered upon in regard
to the validity Of the indictments found by
the last Grand Jury. Charles De Young
was called upon to plead to the Indictment
found against him for assault to murder J..
S. Kallock. Mr.. Campbell, who, with
Messrs. Cohen and Lloyd, appeared for the
defendant, moved that the indictment be
set aside on the following grounds: That
certain grand jurors, who were not quail
fed to act in the case, were present when
the De Young Indictment was acted upon;
that after the death of Mr.. Cunningham
there were only Is grand jurors, and that
number did not make a Grand Jury; that
Mr.. Burton had no authority to act as
Foreman of the Grand Jury; that Juror
Eggers only heard part of the evidence in
the De Young case, and that really only
IL found an Indictment against De Young.
The first ground was disproved by the tes-
timony of H.. F. Williams, one of the
grand jurors. The last one was admitted
by the District Attorney, regarding Juror
Eggers' testimony ruled out, and counsel
proceeded to argue the question of there
being only IS on the jury after the death
of Cunningham. This morning the ques-
ton was argued and submitted.
