ALABAMA SHERMAN MEN.
A prominent friend of Secretary Sher-

the Grant managers captured the Conven-
tion by unfair and arbitrary means.
Three district delegates were expelled
from the delegation for refusing to pledge
themselves for Grant, and other delegates
were elected to their places by the Conven-
tion. The district delegates thus expelled
will apply for admission to the National
Convention. The Chairman of the State
Committee has been instructed to refuse
another delegate his credentials unless he
will pledge himself to vote for Grant

address. He eulogized Tilden, spoke briefly
of the split in New York, and said TO the

defeat was inevitable. When Tilden's

Re-engagement'

The public will doubtless be delighted to
learn that manager Blaisdell has concluded to
remain in Butte several days longer with his
superb company. On Tuesday evening the
gentleman will take a benefit, and we think
we are safe in promising a crowded house, for
our citizens realize the expense he is under in
maintaining his present organization and will
not be slow to give evidence of their appreci-
alton of his efforts to provide them with SUI
narior and legitimate amusement. On We'd
nesday night the popular f~avorite, MIR.
Learock, will take a benefit. There will be
no performance tomorrow night, as consid-
cradle time is required in which to prepare
for the presentation of the pieces selected.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Social Life In n CapIinl-GOssip About
Tho Cabinet-The Position Of Aiex ander
Stephens.

Editor Butte INER:
The social life of Washington, l need not
tell most of your readers, is a most agreeable
one. Much that the war brought to the city
was not of the most refined character, but its
coarser parts disappeared with the wal itself,
and since then there has been a steady influx
of all the better classes of people from vari-
Gus parts of the country and as elegant and
numerous entertainments are given here
throughout the season, as in any city through
out the country. Unjust caution your read
ers, however, who expect to visit Washington
at the Inauguration in March, not to Judge us
by what is known as the inauguration ball."
h is always a jana mob and almost a riot.
An attempt will be made this time to improve
on previous affairs of the kind, but the enor-
nous mass of people who will be present,
will doubtless render anything like order i'm
possible. 1t is already certain that every
part OF the Union will be represented in the
city on Inauguration day. and, almost equally
to take part, as spectators, at least, in the
ball. The advice of an old-stager is, ."don't."
Of President Garfield's cabinet and line of
policy, much is being said, which is news to
that gentleman, l Goubt not. If, however,
what everybody believes must be true, it is
probable that the next President entertains
the same kindly feeling for the people Of all
sections with which President Hayes con-
menced his administration, and as he has
vastly more acquaintance with public men,
north and south, and the knowledge of gov
eminent affairs which comes from long par
ticipatlon in them as a leader, it is not ui-
reasonable to hope that he will be more sue
cessful than Mr.. Hayes in carrying out his
plans. General Garfield has as many friends
and admirers in Washington as has any other
public man of his party.
In a recent conversation with Hon. Alex.
H. Stephens, in which that distinguished rep
resentative spoke freely of the wishes and i'll
terests of the people south, he said the views
lately expressed by Senator Brown and Sen
ator elect Malone, were those of a majority
of the wishes of the south. lie SAID recovery
from prOStratlOn cauSeu ny tne civil wal was
very slow all over the south, and people
were beginning to think more of their
national condition than Of politics. Nr.
Stephens will probably act with the demo-
cratic party as a rule during the coming ses-
sion, but prefers to be considered as indepen-
dent. On several subjects mentioned during
the conversation, it is the impression OF your
correspondent that Mr.. Stephens will, if he
sees an opportunity, so vote as to smooth the
way of President Garfield, rather than as a
politician. He has, as is known, a high opln-
ion OF the coming President, and anticipates
a very moderate and successful administra'
ton. hNoA.

MINING ITEMS.

The Homestake mine, in Deadwood, re-
Gently cleaned up, from a two-weeks run Of
47O stamps, $4,000.
The reopening of mines with drifts 100 feet
in extent, is reported from the st. Felicitas,
New Mexico.
The Terrence mine at Sorocco, New Hexi-
co, shows a large body of ore running from
Is to 500 ounces at 100 feet deep.
Sixteen tons of ore are on tie dump at the
Gentle Emma mine, Owyhee, Idaho, which
will mill between $500 and $500 to the ton.
An effort is being made in Castiloga, CAL,
to form a mill company for the purpose Of
purchasing and erecting a custom quartz mill
to be used upon the ore in that vicinity.
There is a rich strike in Siskiyou ledge on
the Humbug, Siskiyou county, California, a
candle-box of rock yielding $500. The Gizzly
Gulch ledge on Indian Creek, is richer still,
and sold for $4,000, payable in eighteen days.
"a strike has recently been made in the
Potosi, Idaho. The ore being taken out will
mill up in the hundreds, and the ledge is
large, as can be seen by the qnartz, pieces of
which are as heavy as a man can put in the
bucket. Negotiations are now pending with
eastern capitalists.
The Emerald, in the New Placers. New
Mexico, has a large body of ore in sight. The
mine is owned by an eastern company, for
which Mr.. Batchelder is the manager. An
average assay returned $50 per ton. Fifteen
thousand dollars has been offered for a two
thirds interest.
The Old Rough and Ready drift and n.y.
draulic claim, Tuolumne county, CAL, is in a
prosperous condition. The company has
dritted a great distance, and has found the
gravel to prospect on an average about SIG to
the cubic yard. A large mou of this gravel
Is in sight, and lumber is being hauled to
the ground for the purpose OF erecting sluices
for washing.

The cold weather of the past few days has
somewhat delayed work on the Parrot copper
smelter, but if a few warm days should inter-
vene the superintendent is confident of his
ability to cover in all the buildings. The
west building is intended for the reception,
crushing and mixing of the ore. The next
will contain the calcining furnaces. two in
number, and the third is intended for the
mating furnace. The capacity of the works
will depend largely on the quality of the ore
to be treated, and will be between ten and
fifteen tons daily.
