WASHINGTON LETTER.
w., d. c., Sept. l, 1880.

W., ID. T., Sept i, 1851.
The Democrats are still crying out for a
"change" In the campaign Of 1866, Mr..
Tilden said that after the resumption OF
specie payments, the country would enter
upon period of great prosperity, during
which the people would not vote for
change" 1t has come, not as Tilden
wished, however. There are many
reasons why the Republican party should
remain in power. Should the Democratic
party elect its President, and hold its
present majority In Congress, in what
manner would they administer the great
trusts that would devolve upon them.
The past record OF that party does not
answer the question satisfactorily. 1t
is not denied that the Republican policy
has brought great prosperity 10 the people
of the country. With the Democrats In
it is not reasonable to suppose that pros
perity would continue. 1t is plain that any
change would surely be injurious to the
public welfare. But suppose they made
none, would the country derive any ad-
vantage by being left in a state ofsuspense
from November until March, and for many
mouths thereafter! Ii would surely be in
furious 10 all our industries and business.
We have assurances that upon the acces-
sion TO power of the Democratic party,
sundry and alarming "changes" would be
attempted. The tariff would be tinkcred /;
new tangled experiments with t-e banks,
the currency and the public debt would be
ventured upon, and 4 spirited foreign
policy would involve Us in war with
Spain. England, Mexico and Central
America. Business would be restricted
and embarrassed, and the great wave of
prosperity on which we are now floating,
would recede, and leave us stranded, per-
haps for years, upon the sands of national
adversely.
But the past course of the Republican
party. the fruits ofits labors we now enjoy,
is IN ample, complete guarantee aud
guide for It's future The peop'c would
know what TO expect business would 20
On uninterrupted, and would seek new
fields for enterprise without fear OF damag-
ing politics, {. hostile politicians orplrties.
These considerations, AMI many more,
should be sufficient to determine those
who wIycr, a vote for Garfield i vote
for prosperity, and Tor National progress.

LEADVILLE LETTER.

LEApvILLE, Col, Aug. 80, 1850.
Business at the mines is better than at

during the month OF August, and expert
enccd men are OF the opinion that the out
put of ore in the near future will be such
rs Lcadville never saw before one thing
is quite certain - that this, the largest
mining camp In the world, is not played

hundred thousand dollars during the
month OF August, and Mr. J. W. Marden,
the acting manager, says that there Is
hardly doubt but what the debt will be
lifted by the lst of October. Several rich

In the last two weeks. One in particular

been one hundred tons per day, or six hun

dollars worth. We are OF the opinion that

The water is clear and of dark color,
and, besides curing skin diseases OF men
and beasts, lays out nervous troubles,
rheumatism, paralysis and similar all
ments. The water has not been analysed,
but tastes OF salt and boraX, is As buoyant
as the Dead Sea. and the only animal life
it sustains is species Of jelly fish.
The lake has no visible outlet, and, al
though fed by several small streams, never
increases or decreases in size. In the
slightest breeze the water lashes into a
foam which makes a superior soap, and
almost anything can be cleansed in the lake
much better than by the most powerful
chemicals.

The MISSISSIPPI PLAZA Mississippi
Democrat writes to the Memphis appeal
thus:
Awake, let the Mississippi plan be re-

duty Of supplying two Of the numbers re-
quired to reduce and destroy democratic
majority in Congress. Will you submit +:
Can you stand idly, supinely, and witness

red shirts, and let the ride begin, or we

OUR GAME LAWS.
BETHEL, Sept. 9TH, 1880.


Editor Of the oxford Democrat -
DEAR SIR.-The enforcement OF our
game laws in this section has received
most substantial assistance of late through
the energetic action of one OF the State
Commissioners of Fish and Game. Vio-
lations of the law have been so prevalent
in this county, and so many complaints
have reached the Commissioners of the
non-eufOrccment of the laws In these cases,
that il was deemed advisable that one of
these gentlemen should visit this section
to look into the subject. The visit re-
suited in the prosecution and conviction
of certain parties who had been shooting
woodcock out OF season, and one of them
paid flne of fifty dollars for his expert
ence.
II should be said in justice to the Com
missioner Mr.. Everett Smith of Portland,
that although the law allows the COM
plainant one half of the fine recovered,
neither Mr.. Stillwell, his associate, nor
himself have in any instance appropriated
any of these amounts to their own use.
Their position imposes upon them a by
no means pleasant duty in the respect OF
following up offenders of this -, and
rs II is only by making these laws respect
ed that our native game birds can receive
any protection, they should receive the as
siStance of all true sportsmen.
Mr.. Smith generously sent the twenty
five dollars received by him in the above
case, TO the County Treasurer with in
Structions TO expend it for the poor OF OK
