old Crown Point TUNE. The Com
pany has sunk one it of thirty feet,
and STOPPED out most of the ore, and
are sinking another, which, when fin
isl,ed. will open up sufficient body
of ore to keep the mill running until
the shaft strikes the ledge.
The mill is running at full blast.
Have had considerable trouble with
the rock breaker, but everything is
lovely now. Bullion will be rolling
through Idaho City in IA few days.
In going through the mine and mill
noticed quite a number of the boys
who worked here last summer, and
among them was Joe Robbins
Under the management Of Col. John
Brown, President. and Maj Mellow

PETITION ron ROYAL CLEMENCY.

MADRID, March 25.-The Supreme Court
having confirmed the sentence Of death
passed upon the regicide otero by the In
ferior Tribunal, the advocate and attorney
OF the condemned man obtained audience
OF the King, Queen and Princess Of the
Asturias yesterday afternoon, to implore
them to allow their client to be included
in the cases placed before the King on
Good Friday by the Cardinal Primate to
the Chapel Royal after the mass and ador-
alton OF the cross, and according to the
antique usage Of the Spanish Monarchy.
The King and Queen were much moved
by the petition, and said that II the par
don depended on their will alone 1t would
be granted. They had forgiven 0tero at
heart, and they would place the petition
before the Council OF Ministers, who
would be called upon to decide as soon as
the Council OF State had examined the
petition OF reprieve. The Princess Of the
Asturias also pledged herself to make in
tercession.
The Vice President Of the Congress,
who represents in the Chamber Uteros
native. province OF Galicia, also went
to the Palace yesterday and received the
same assurances from the King. In po-
litical circles most people believe that the
Council OF Ministers can not find grounds
for the reprieve. They remember that
there are strong considerations Of diplo-
matte and foreign influence which, as in
the case OF Moncasi in 1879, will incline
the Government to allow the sentence to
be executed. otero will only know II his
appeal is rejected when the decision Of the
Ministers Is carried to him. According TO
the Spanish custom he will be placed in
chapel with priest for twenty.four hours
before his execution. He is very quiet in
prison. He saw his brother and sister
yesterday, and expresses contrition for his
crime.
In this season Of holiday, and amid the
religious festivities of Holy Week, the
public show very little interest in the fate
OF otero, who has not won half the sym
pathy which, year ago, followed Mon
casi into the executioners hands.

A nraip. Mans Explanation of Con-
kIInr,s Trip 10 Harrisburg.

A strong Blaine man gives political
to the visit Of Senators
conkling, Edmunds and Don Cameron at
the house Of Simon Cameron last Saturday
and Sunday. This Blaine man says he
has reason TO think that this meeting was
not a mere pleasure party, but that con-
ference was held for the purpose OF con-
sidering whether, II it ultimately should
be found to be necessary not to present
the name OF General Grant at the Chicago
convention, II would be advisable TO
endeayor 10 transfer the Grant strength 70
Edmunds rather than to Blaine or Wash
burne. The argument which the Blaine
man advanced to support this theory
was that the Cameron men could not fail
TO see that Grant was losing rather than In
creasing in strength and that the Gamer
ons would prefer TO throw their influence
for Edmunds than for Blaine or wash
burne. The relations now with Blaine,
they state, are strained, while the older
Cameron particularly Is opposed to Wash
burne. The same gentleman, referring to
the rapid decline In the Grant strength
referred to vote recently taken in Gum
berland county in Pennsylvania, where y
stood Q, 400 for Blaine to 90 for Grant. l,
also appears that McManes and other o
Cameron's followers were here last week
and held conversation with their ohiet
| in the course OF which they informed
Cameron that Grant was rapidly losini
ground In Pennsylvania; that oil th'
workingmen OF the party were agains
him, and II he was adhered to as q candi
date II was going TO be an uphill fight.

GALVESTON, March 25.-At the Banquet
last evening in response to a toast Of General
Grant, our honored guest. Greater ar
mics than Napoleon's have marched at his
command, greater glories than a crown
have been his. General Grant replied as
follows:
GENTS OF GALvEsroS:-I am very much
obliged to one and all Of you for your very
kind reception which l have received at
your hands and at the hands OF all the
citizens of this city, and l assure you it
affords me very great pleasure to be here
on this occasion and to see SO many OF
you. It was my fortune more than q
third Of century ago to visit Texas as a
second lieutenant and to have been one OF
these who went into the conflict which
was TO settle the boundary OF Texas.
am glad TO come back to you on this oc-
casion, and to behold territory which is
an Empire in itself, and larger than some
OF the Empires OF Europe. ] wish for the
people Of Texas as / do for the people the
entire south, that they may go on develop
ing their great resources ana become great
and powerful, and in their prosperity
forget as your worthy Mayor expressed it,
that there Is boundary between the North
and South. Prolonged cheering. am
sure we will all be happier and much
more prosperous when the day comes that
there will be no sectional feeling. Let
any American who can travel abroad as l
have done and with the opportunity OF
witnessing what there is to be seen, that /
have had, and he will return TO America
a better American, aud better citizen
than he was when he went away. Loud
cheers. He will return more In love with
his own country. Far be 1t from me to
find fault with any OF the European govern
ments. l was well received at their hands
on every side by every nation in Europe,
but with their dense population and their
worn out soil 1t takes great deal ofgovern-
ment to enable the people to get from the
soil bare subsistence. Here we have
rich virgin soil with room enough for all
OF US to expand and live with use Of very
little government. do hope that We long
may be able to get along happily and con-
tentidly without being too much gov
erned.

CLEVELAND, March 2S.- Hon. Jacob

aud now the controlling spirit around the
Raechter am Eric Office, of this city, the
leading German daily paper of Northern
Ohio, has been making careful study Of
the German feeling in Ohio, especially in
the northern part, on the Presidential
question. Mr.. Mueller says that from his
observations and knowledge OF the Ger
man character, he is satisfied that nothing
can take place which would reconcile the
feelings OF the Germans to General Grant.
They are dead set against him, and under
no circumstances would vote Tor him. II
he be the Chicago nominee Ohio will

and would be acceptable TO the German
voters OF this country, bat nothing can
happen which will make Grant accepia-

Waehter will support the best Presidential
platform adopted aud ticket nominated,
always excepting General Grant. He
would like 10 see Washburne nominated
at Chicago and Bayard at Cincinnati, and
would then be sure the country would
have good President for the next four
years. As between these two men, pro-
viding the platforms were equally accept
able, he would find it very difficult to
choose,

TORONTO, March 25.-A man named
Bennett, formerly employed as engineer
in the Globe newspaper office, but who was
discharged for misconduct, entered the
room Of Hon. Geo. Brown at the Office,
and made deliberate attempt to murder
him. Without word OF warning he
aimed the pistol at Browns head, who
was sitting at his desk. On hearing the
intruder Brown rose, and as he did so he
received the bullet in his thigh. He at
once grappled with thewould-bemurderer.
Wounded as he was, he wrestled the pistol
from him and threw him down. Some of
the employees in the establishment hearing
the shot rushed to Browns aid, aud while
some attended him the others held Ben
nett until policeman arrived, who took
him TO the station house.
Medical aid was called for, and Brown.
who, after the wound had been dressed
and the bullet probed for and extracted,
was removed to his residence, where he
now lies somewhat unneryed by the
shock.
Mr.. Browns presence Of mind when the
shot was fired was something remarkable
for man of his age. Without tlinching,
wounded as he was, he coolly grappled
with the assailant, powerful man, and
soon had him at his mercy. Mr.. Brown
is editor and proprietor of the Giobs.
