FROM the latest news from the
South, we learn that Grant is alive
and we'll. What a wonder! If we
were to believe the Radical papers
about the state of lawlessness and
disorder in the South, we would be
listening every day to hear of his
death. But how different it is. He
does not create much enthusiasm
among the Southern people, but they
treat him with respect. Now away
with your Ku- Klux and White League
stories. They will not win any more.

WE feel it rather public duty to
present the marrying score now and
then of that particular bigamist, Cha
ence E. Davis, now Willing away his
time in the Chicago Jail. His wives
are turning up with such dizzy ra-
pidity that the tally must be made
up often and promptly or there is
danger that the record will get de-
moralized. The most recent reports
brought the number of this mans
wives up to twenty three, and even
if no other should be heard from it
is confidently believed that Davis is
entitled to the championship of the
world.

The reports of the Republican
State Convention of Texas, as print
ed in the local newspapers, leave no
room to doubt that the friends of the
wouldbe Emperor had absolute con-
troll of the Convention, and had two
hundred and fifty delegates out of
the four hundred votes. The delega-
ton to Chicago is for Grant almost
unanimously, and will present Ex-
Governor Davis for the Vice Presi.
dency without the slightest hope that
he will be accepted.

very discreet, by not parading their

not drag their favorities before the

II EXPLOSION.
The Quinn Hosting Works De.
strOyed by Fire.

The Carson Tribune of September LIST,
has the following: Last night. about 8
o'clock, an explosion was heard and felt in
this city, and on looking toward the East,
a bright light was seen to illume the sky.
All sorts Of conjectures were INDUCED in,
as to the locality, and the telegraph Office
was anxiously sought for to gain particu-
lars. Virginia could report nothing def
mite, but thought the explosion had taken
place at the Mound House. The full par
~ticulars were not learned until this morn
ing, when it was ascertained that the fire
and explosion had taken place at the Quinn
mine, located in Spring Valley, near Silver
City. 1t seems that the night Waterman
had been on a " tear during the day, and
fell asleep shortly after going on watch,
leaving a candle burning. Somehow or
other it communicated to the hosting
works, setting the same on fire. The I'M
d%erpinning giving away, the building fell
in with a crash, causing the explosion OF
three cases of giant powder. The watch
man escaped from the building before the
explosion took place, but was SO badly
burned that he died at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. The immense hosting works, which
were lately erected at q heavy expense,
were entirely destroyed, and at last ac-
counts the fire was raging in the shaft.
We have been unable to learn the name of
the unfortunate Waterman, or the extent
of the loss.

Fire at Judge Hawley's.

Says the Carson Appeal of the Sd: Last
night about 10 O'Clock Judge Hawley dis
covered a fire in the rear Of his house,
which spread so rapidly that the family at
once set about moving the furniture. An
alarm was sounded, but the fire was SO
confined to the interior OF the house that
there was no light for the firemen to be
guided by, and they were some time ascer-
tanning the whereabouts of the blaze.
When they finally arrived they succeeded
in getting a stream on quite expeditiously,
and inside of fifteen minutes the flames
were ex~tinguished. The house was nearly
Quilted, however. and the rear got badly
damaged by water. The loss will not fall
short Of ST 900. Judge Hawley thinks the
house was fred by ~incendiaries, but from
the appearance of the premises it appears
more likely to lave originated near the
kitchen stove.

The Silver State Of September I'd has
the annexed; Last evening a Section Fore
man. named Robinson, got on Conductor
Bethel's freight train at Wells, TO ride to
us section-house, some miles west Of that
place. When the train reached his desti-
nation 1t was stopped and he alighted, TAX
ing with him a Henry rifle, in the maya
zlne OF which there we're sixteen cartridges.
From what we can learn of his subsequent
actions, it appears that without any provo
cation whatever he took aim at Conductor
Bethel and fred sixteen shots at him.
fortunately Robinson proved to be q bad
marksman, and none OF the shots took
enect. Robinson was arrested this morn
ing at Ossino by Sheriff Fitch, Of Elko.

Description Of the Property from a
New Mexico Exchange.

As was announced at the time, General
Grant was a few weeks since chosen Presi-
dent of the San Pedro and Canyon del
Aqua Mining Company. The property is
located in New Mexico. Col. M. G. Gill
lette, formerly Superintendent of the Saw
age on the Comstock, has been made Su-
perintendent of General Grants Company.
The Santa Fe New Mexican contains the
following description Of the immense
estate
The property embraces SO, 600 acres, COW
cred with pinon timber, for the greater
part, and including the San Pedro, Tuer-
to, San Ysidro and Sandia mountains, all
known to contain mineral. 1t is 20 miles
from the railroad station at Bernalillo to
the village of San Pedro, which has grown
up centrally, in relation to the copper inc
gold veins, and the placers. The copper
and gold mines are about q mile from the
village, at an elevation of about 5000 feet,
and on the west side of Tuerto mountain.
The veins are about 80 feet wide, encased
in well-defined walls, cropping out lateral
ly for a distance Of half a mile, and pitch
ing into the mountain with a dip Of Is
degrees. Ore of one strata is composed Of
c~arbonates, silicates, and oxides of copper;
the other carries free gold. The vein was
formerly worked for the gold by the Mexi-
cans, whose open workings are still visible,
as well as the ruins of the old shelters.
Some copper assays go as high as 46 per
cent, and large bodies Of ore are
found carrying from 20 to 25 per cent.
with gold from a trace to $50 to the ton.
The developments, it is estimated, have al
ready exposed by tunnel and driftslfully
10000 tons of ore. The placer mines of
the company embrace about 1000 acres Of
ground at the foot of the Tuerto group Of
mountains, and it is said hat in 1S43 as
many as 400 men were engaged in washing
gold on this tract, and a nugget valued at
$1,000 was found. This deposit is 70 feet
thick, and is dotted with shafts and gravel
heaps in all directions. Water is to be
brought upon the ground for an extensive
hydraulic system-from the Sandia noun
tains. Very extensive plans for develop
ment have been conceived, and already
nearly 200 men are employed-a force that
will be increased as rapidly as may be nee
essary. Boston capital is employed, and
the enterprise seems to be in good hands"

WHY FORNEY Is FOR HANCOCK.
Reasons which VIII he of Special
Interest to Republicans.

Having decided to support Hancock for
President of the United States, however,
/ find that there is another audience not
quite as anxious to hear what | have to
say; that one decides against me in ad-
vance. The parties to this proceeding are
gentlemen who think that it is an offense
for an independent Republican to have any
voice in public affairs that is not set to the
chorus Of the Republican ring. As long
as you sing in their choir, and echo their
sentiments, and obey their covenants, you
are a saint; but if you utter a discordant
note you are a traitor. | am q traitor now
because / do not swing the censor to Mr..
Garfield. / am inconsistent because l
spoke well of Garfield after his nomination
for President. l Inn glad I did. His NOM
nation was a relief from the men who as
sassinated Grant at Chicago. Garfield was
better than the ofice-holding and office
hunting politicians who, after hunting
down the lion, expected to drink his blood,
| to feed upon his fame and torally the party
he had saved twice from ruin to their sup
| port. Garfield was better than the hypo-
| critics who, bowling civil service reform
! and holding up a third term, as they said,
| sought the Presidency only for themselves,
after having been longer in Office than
four times the length Of one term. But l
| did not know Garfeld's record; l had
never examined it. 1t was not my BUSH
ness to keep a list of his jobs. l have not
been five times in Washington in ten years,
and I do not know what the new leaders
of the Republican party have done-cer-
tainly not their secret work to help them
selves. Till his nomination for President
the country was almost as ignorant as my
self. What it is all men know now; and il
/ revolted from it, it was because l found
it different from what l honestly believed
it to be. Mr.. Garfeld's accusers were not
Democrats. He was brought to the bar by
his own party, by the Republican press and
by the Republican Committees OF his own
Congressional district. by the Republican
court Of justice. Had his record been
known at Chicago Mr.. Garfield could no,
have been nominated. Full information
enables me to speak by the book when
assert that there was not a Republican
leader of any note, equally those ON thu
ground to slay and those who came to saw
Grant, that did not admit, on reflection
that Garfeld's selection was a blunder, ane
that that blunder was worse than a crime
