OUR dispatches mention rumor
that Samuel j. Tilden will be married
this week to Miss Fanny Ranck, Of
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. This is a
bid for the Pennsylvania vote and the
Presidency, which has its own imme
diate reward. There is much conso
lation in it, but it comes too late. No
old bachelor ought to be elected
President, and Mr.. Tilden will find
that the people see through this
move and will never support him
again unless they find that his wife
is the better man of thetwo, which no
doubt will be the case, and that she is
the recognized head of the family. If
he is really elected TO matrimony and
has the day set he should look sharp
and see to it that no eight to seven
commission with a big brother or an
offended mother-in-law elect, or a
yoanger rival to cast the deciding
vote, counts him out.

The Mining Bill.

Washington, q. = Representative
Daggett appeared before the House
mining committee, this morning,
and made an earnest argumeu;
against the bill Of the committee, sc
far AZ it proposes changes in The pres
emit mining laws. He supported bis
argument against the proposition to
limit location OF fssure veins to YER
teal boundaries by reading to the
committee numerous memorials On
this subject trom western miners, and
extracts from large numbers of Pa
cifio Coast newspapers, all Opposing
the contemplated change. He sug-
gested, however, that in case the
committee believed it necessary to
enact q new provision on the subject
of boundaries of mining claims, they
might form c provision which would
DO acceptable to all parties by limit
ing the system Of square locations to
euch lodes as have a dip less than q
degrees, Or a! mos! not quite 30 de-
grees.
