BOLIVIA owned the district in which arc the
richest deposits Of nitratea in tho world. The
government made a contract with Chill to
give to IL the commercial control Of this dis
trict new government in power in Bolivia
refused 10 carry out this agreement backed
by Peru, always tho enemy Of Chill. Bolivia

ago, and Chill 10 whipping the allied forces ON

II is having hard time of IL, for the con-
tractors for carrying tho mail were assessed
heavily while that bill was pending in con-
gress. An expose Of that matter would be one
of tho richest booms the democratic party has
had lately. The road agents and the demo-
cratic foot-pads around congress seem to be
| acting in concert.
UNLESS the New YorlScrs decide what is to
be doue with the obelisk pretty soon the
| Dessouk may be ordered round to Washington
| for the purpose of turning tho big stone over
to the United States. This would be, in fact
| the proper course. If we understand the situ-
alton, tho khedive of Egypt presented the
obclisk to tho government of the United States
not to the city of New York. We are unani-
mously In favor Of the proposition to bring it
TO Washington. There arc several circles" to
which it would be q great ornament and at

| WHILE the Northern Pacific railway is build
ing westward from Bismarck the work on the
sumc road is going on in Oregon. The railroad
there begins at the junction of the Columbia
aud Snake rivers, which is the head Of steam
navigation, and is steadily pushing toward tho
Montana passes. The Oregon Railway &
Navigation company is constructing the line
from the Snake river TO the Pacific ocean. BY
January, 1882, 700 miles of frst.class standard
gauge railroad will be built and in operation,
connecting Portland and the head of CO.
lu mbia river navigation with the eastern linz
its Of the state. North and south Of the main
line narrow gauge roads are in process of con-
struction, reaching into the grain districts.
The operations of this character to develop the
resources Of Oregon and Washington territory
are under the control of the Willard company

n OF that man, but another man, is the
way the New York World is tryingto sneak
out of its bold untruth--that JUSTICE
SwAYNE had delivered a specific opinion
inculpating GENERAL GARFIELD in n
fraudulent act relating to the DEGoLYER
matter, when no such case had been
before the justice and no such opinion
had been delivered. Driven into a
corner, without any power of defense
or justification for having fabricated n
wanton slander, the World raises the pre-
sumption that similar case was before
the circuit court of Illinois, in which an
opinion involving the same principle OF
law that was set forth in the fabricated
case had occurred. This is weaker than
water and thinner than gauze. 1t would
have been more manly and would have
secured a higher degree Of respect if the
World had confessed its unGuth and
promised reform.

HANCOCK has been so bothered by visit
ing patriots OF the Confederate Crossroads
and Five-points types that he has been
obliged to put u sentinel outside the gate
of headquarters on Governors island, who
demands n card and an explanation of their
business from all suspiciously seedy callers
HANCOCK has not much sympathy with
the short-haired, red-necked and horny
handed variety of his supporters. As the
Richmond Dispatch remarks; General

IT is very generally understood that
General HANCocK's nomination was born
of corruption. He should be denominated
the "Star-route candidate, for that is
what did it. Conceived in sin and
brought forth in iniquity," he is as q
leader the legitimate offspring of u fraudu-
lent party, which now holds solid
south " at its beck through agencies that
are an outrage upon humanity and blotch
upon civilization. This is the party that
inscribes " free elections" upon its black
banner and then taxes the calendar oi
crime for aids in its support.
