ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 19.-Another ar
rest was made to day in the land fraud con-
spiracy. the person being Mr.. John Brady,
Jr., Notary Public, who is charged with hav-
ing, in 1878, made fraudulent acknowl-
edgment to deed conveying eighty acres
OF the stolen land in Butler County. To
reporter who interviewed him Immediately
after his capture he stoutly maintained that
an eSregious mistake had been committed in
his arrest. lie says that he will have no
difficulty in furnishing the required bond OF
5000. He says, also, that in the year 1878
he did acknowledge number of deeds con-
veying land in Southern and Southeastern
Missouri, but he always had taken pains to
have these Acknowledgements come within
the letter rs well as the spirit OF the law. In
the District Attorneys Oihcc 1t i, said. on
the other hand, that the case against Brady
will be found to be very strong one, all OF
it being not yet given out, for reasons of
State.

In making the New York nomination

In making the New York nominations
the President is thought to have about
equally divided the important Offices between
the two Republican factions Of that State,
with the evident intention Of harmonizing
the party. Robertson's nomination for Col
lector is said to be especially obnoxious to
Senator Conkling, and it was current report
in Washington on the 23d that he would
vote asainst his confirmation.

Prospecting Unkaown Streams.
VIcToEIA, November 9th.-The steamer
Grappler arrived from Wrangell aud wsy
ports Monday evening" John Walsh, Gov
ernmens ProspectoF, is among the passen-
gers. Mr.. Walsh add his party started off
in two directions. After getting well up the
Skeena river, in order TO get over the larger
district of country, each detachment was
supplied with Indian help. They examined
thoroughly al the northeast branches Of this
river, prospecting every stream coming IN
from that direction.
The country there il not gold,bearing one
to any extent. The party then struck over
low divide, not more than ten miles across,
to the streams emptying into the Findlay
branch of the Pace river.
This section of the Province has the ap-
pearance of being much more likely to pro-
duce gold in paying quantities. Slate and
quartz were found in abundance, and small
prospects were obtained in many places.
Some twenty-five or thirty streams were yis-
tied and named in what is called the Bear
Lake region. By the time the party reached
those streams the season was far advanced,
and tine would not admit Of q ve-y thorough
examination.
The mountains are bare of vegetation, but
the valleys are open and grassy and pnrticu-
larly free from fallen thick timber. In this
respect the prospsctors were not hlndered IN
the least in their movements. Moose, carl.
boo, bear. grouse, and other kind of game,
were found in the greatest abundance, it be-
ing no uncommon thing to have couple of
cariboos in camp at the same time Fish
also were wonderfully plenty. Before going
even to the streams emptying into the Find
lay, the party penetrated fully $50 miles into
the interior of the country.
The prospectors are fully of the opinion
that placer diggings will be found On the
tributaries of the Findlay, and that season
spent in that section would develop a mining
region that would pay, if not largely, at least
good wages. Timber, although not abundant
enough TO be troublesome, is yet to be fouad
in sufficient quantities for all purposes. Grass
is in greatest profusion and covers all the val
leys and far up the sides of the mountains.
In fact, nothing appears to be wanting 30
supply the wants Of mining population ii
gold can be found in paying quantities, and
every member of the party is Of the opinion
that this is only question Of time, and a lit
tie more persevering explorations.

A NEW KIND OF STORY.

TIE story of the collision between whites
and blacks On election day in Mississippi
appears to present novel combination. 1t
is stated that the whites were unarmed,
and that four of them were shot and killed
by the negroes. What adds to the COM
plexity of the case is that the leader of the
colored people is said to have been white
man, and a prominent Republican poll
tician. Though the whites did not have
any arms at first, they must have obtained
them before they Surrounded Vanca's
house and bombardsd it. In the melee
that ensued the victims again appear to
have been white men. one of them beiHg
son of Vancs, the leader of the blacks.
The whole story is very bewildering, and
perhaps it will not be possible to form an
opinion concerning il until the version of
the opposite faction has been given. 1t
certainly is not like Mississippi ways for
the whites to be unarmed, and the blacks
armed.

TIE ELECTIONS.

The November elections have been ac-
oompanied by comparatively little interest
and excitement. Everywhere there is the
same report Of apathy and light vote. In
New York the Democrats appear to have
carried the day. It does not yet appear
whether they were aided by the tstalwarts, -
but the presumption IS that the latter did
not put themselves to any trouble over the
campaign. In Virginia the Readjnsters
claim victory. and they certainly ought
to have won it in the triangular contest
which had been waged, since they had sue
ceeded in making fusion which gave
them nearly two to one. This promises to
bring Malone into still greater prominence,
and therefore it is a misfortune. In Mas
saohusatts the Republicans have reelected
Governor Long, The news from Penn.
sylvania is not yet sufficiently full to IN
dicate the result, but it is plain that Wolf,
the Independents candidate, polled a large
vote. In Illinois the Republicans only
elected part OF the State ticket, owing to
the general indifference. In Connecticut
Republican gains are claimed. Wisconsin
appears to be in doubt. In Mississippi
the Democrats, as usual, carried their
ticket, the negroes for the most part not
voting, though It is not stated that they
were in any way intimidated from going
to the polls. Maryland went Democratic,
as matter OF course. In New York the
defeat OF Tammany was an incident of the
fight. and local papers, with Characteristic
shortsightednesa, are already predicting that
Tammany will never recover. The fact is
that organization encountered heavier de-
teats twenty-five OF thirty years ago than it
has had ever since, and yet it did not die.
The general showing of the November
elections is that the people cannot be got
out TO vote unlsss there are some exciting
national questions on the tapis. They pre-
fer TO stay at home or out in the ield, at.
tending to their business. Twenty-Five
per cent of absenteeism IS said TO be the
average, even in the most intelligent COM
munities, but in soft years the absentees
in many parts of the country number
nearly fifty per cent. of the voting popu-
lation. Nor is this matter for grave
concern. The popular instinct generally
discovers when it is safe to stay away from
the polls, and when it is necessary to at
tend them, and probably or the whole the
AMOUNT Of voting done represents The
average enlightenment of the country very

TEE NINTH MASSACHUSETTS, REGI-
MBNT.

An esteemed correspondent, whose Mas
sachusetts blood has been fred with indig-
nation and humiliation by the reports
about the disgraceful conduct of the Ninth
Massachusetts militia during the York
town celebration, writes to us to say that
we have been wrong in regarding this as
State disgrace, for that the Ninth Massa-
chusetts is an Irish regiment. We are
compelled to say to our esteemed CORE
spondent that we have no correction to
make, and that it is he who is laboriDg
under mistake. If We understand the
matter. the Ninth Massachusetts Regiment
is military body organized under the
laws of the State Of Massachusetts, and
COMPOSED of citizens OF the United States
and of Massachusetts,. To say that it is
an Irish regiment is to misrepresent the
facts. There can be no such thing as an
Irish regiment in an american State. The
status of Ethe Ninth Massachusetts is an
American status, and nothing else. The
men of it are not Irishmen, but American

citizens. Their presence in the regiment,
their military capacity, their entire sur
roundings, in shors are the results of the
operation OF American laws upon Amer
lean citizens. Massachusetts, has per-
mitted them to represent her.
She made them regiment. She
sent them TO Yorktown. And therefore
she must bear the responsibility of their
behavior, whether it was good or bad. The
practice of ahpflling off accountabilities
by setting up the plea that such-and-such
thing was done by foreigners, " when it
was really done by American citizens of
foreign birth, is very familiar one, but
for all that it is more honored in the
:. breach than in the observance" 1t tends
to make native-born Americans less careful
than they would otherwise be Of the
methods by which citizenship is acquired,
for it suggests an easy way of avoiding re-
sponsibility for the more disagreeable con.
sequences of premature naturalization. II
every American born citizen realized that
the national honor was exposed to injury
and insult by the i'll conduct OF foreigners
who had not lived long enough in the
country to understand its institutions, they
would soon realize the necessity of reor-
ganization of the naturalization laws, and
what is more they would agitate the mat
ter until they had obtainedthe change they
wanted. There is therefore no good end to
be gained by evading the unpleasant truth
that the State or the country is accountable
for the doings of its citizens, no matter
what their origin, and we trust that our
esteemed correspondent will pardon us for
declining to modify or retract anything we
have heretofore said about the Ninth Mas.
