GINA ELECTION.


ship Of the next House looms up as the
most important event Of the near future.
The candidates who have been mentioned
are numerous, but Hiscock Of New York,
Keiffer OF Ohio and Kasson of Iowa seem
to be the most prominent, with Messrs.
Burrows OF Michigan, Dunnell Of Mime
sofa, Reed of Maine, and others as proba-
bio black horses. For the time Hiscock
was believed to have had more positive
strength than either of the others, but it
is suggested that recent political events
and promotions may, and probably will,
affect his prospects injuriously. New York
now has two Cabinet officers, Messrs. Fol-
ger and James, and those who are COM
petitors OF Hiscock for the Speakership
make a point that to give that Office to the
Empire State would be unfair to the other
States and that it would be giving New
York decidedly the lions share of official
honors and patronage. The Western MEM
bers of the House, and Western politicians,
are insisting with more earnestness than
hitherto that the Speaker should be a
Western man. They maintain that this
would, to a considerable extent, equalize
the honors between the sections, and they
are appealing to Eastern men to view the
matter in this light. The appeal is not
without effect, and it is said that Hiscock
himself appreciates the disadvantage he
is laboring under, by reason OF the adj
vancement of several New York men. OF
the Western candidates, it is claimed that
Kasson leads the race, but Gen. Keiffer is
said to have considerable support.
HilI's Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-In the Senate to-
day, Hill offered the following:
Resolved, That appointments to Of

The New York Gold Mines.
NEW York, Oct. 29.-The World has a
column article on New York gold mines,
in which the writer says the Empire mine,

assays, from Sc So to SIC % per ton. In
the Beryl mine, the company are down 10
feet, where the ore averages over S25.
Other mines are mentioned, from which
the writer concludes that there IL an as
sumed future for gold mining in the State.
