1t is not out of place to give a brief re
view OF this wonderful mine. The com
pany was organized about a dozen years
ago with a nominal capital of IS, 000, 900,
In $4,000 shares. The only actual capital
paid up was $100, 900 in two assessments
OF $500 each. With this small outlay
an immense business has been developed,
expensive litigation conducted and large
profits disbursed to stockholders. There
have been 70 dividends declared, ranging
from 80 cents to So per share. There
were no dividends in 1872 or 1876, and
there will probably be none for the next
six months, or until the present improve
ments at the mine are completed and paid
for. The surplus, $144, 857, will barely do
this. Besides the "dead work and
prospecting at the mine will also
absorb a large disbursement. During
the past fiscal year the mine has paid 10
dividends of so cents each, making a total
of $500, 900. The 70 dividends declared

always gives its readers the lrae
political sentiment, which Is fully
shown by the following interview
with Senator Joseph +. Brown, Of

Senator Brown, of Georgia, now
the most prominent southern dem
ocrat, has personal convictions
whose strength Is fully appreciated
by every sensible man, aud which
are freely uttered. He has carefully
studied the political situation, anu
in reference to democratic folly said,
on Wednesday: '"rhe democratic
defeats i'm 1880 were the results OF
democratic lOllies and not OF repub-
lican strength. These follies must
be abandoned. In the south we
have local irritatiOns which must be
healed. All forms of personalism
must be repudiated. We have lost
everything but the senate, by moth
ing but our Dawn follies; and now
we are threatened with the loss Of (
the senate by inc0neeivable foliies. 4

Gratis of Tennessee forget their local
and irritations, and re-
elect Senator Bailey? He is one Of
the very best men in the senate.
He is q clear-headed statesman and
a pure-hearted patriot. Ifsuch men
as Bailey cannot be retained in the
public councils, car see no hope
for honest administration / should
regard his defeat as a public calam-

a Tennessee Professor as West
Point

The New York Herald's West
Point correspondence has the follow
ing in regard to the appointment OF
Lieut.. Tiilman, of Tennessee, as
professor at West Point:
Much qualification is expressed
here over the appointment Of Lieut..
Samuel E. Tillman, of the corps of
engineers, as professor of chemistry.
He is said to possess in an eminent
degree the necessary qualifications
for the position, having been for
several years assistant professor of
this department under Prof. III. L..
Hendricks, who now retires after
twenty-three years as professor,
thirty-fve years at the academy and
forty-five years in the army. His
retirement is much regretted, as he
possessed the profound respect and
affection of all connected with the
academy. But the cOngratulatiOns
offered to Prof. TilIman are not un-
mixed with wonder; for, although
he is considered to be- the one man
for the place, the officers here are
PuAAlCd W I0COuClIS IilS du uNduCc-
ment with the policy that they had
been warned would be followed
that of frowning upon all persons
connected with the court that re-
ported Whitaker guilty last sum
mer, of which Prof. TiIiman was an
active and conspicuous member.
Yet his nomination for the position
was not opposed before the presi-
dent or his confirmation by the
senate, and it is supposed to be a
case where conspicuous merit was
permitted to Offset the performance
of a difficult duty in manner that,
however conscientious, was distaste-
full to the administration.

za Case Of N Failure Of Election
Can the Position be FILLED BY Ex.
ecntivc appointment.
10 the Banner:
1t is sincerely to be hoped that oul
/ legislature, now in session, will
elect Senator Bailey as his own sue
eessur, or some other true and tried
democrat to take his place after the
4th of March next, in the United
States senate. Butshould the Iegis-
lature unfortunately fail TO elect, no
apprehension need be felt by the
democracy oi the state that the posi-
ton, after adjournment, will be
given TO a republican by executive
appointment. The facts of the case
will not confer the power of appoint
ment on the governor.
The language of the federal con-
stitution, on this subject, is, 'tIf
vacancies happen by resignation or
otherwise during the recess tef the
legislature of any state, the exeeu-
tive thereof may make temporary
appointments until the next meet
ing of the legislature, which shall
then fill such vacancy" Art. sec.
3. Now it is obvious from this
language that two things must con-
curto authorize the executive to APP
point. First, a vacancy must hap
pen. And secondly, it must hap.
pen during the recess of the legis-
lature0 of the state.
There is no vacancy now from
Tennessee in the United States SEN
ate. Both of her seats are at present
filled by men of distinguished
ability, in foil accord and sympathy
with the people of the state ON ques-
tions OF national policy. A vacancy
will occur on the 4th of March next, |
or one may "happen" before that |
time by the death or resignation of |
Senator Bailey; but in neither event
can the vacancy "happen" during
the recess of the legislature, because |
that body is now in session, and T
will so continue until after the 4th /
Of March, when Senator Bailey's /
term will expire by effiux of time.
So it thus clearly appears that,
should a vacancy happen" to-mor--
row, by the voluntary resignation
Or death of the present incumbent,
)r Dy the lapse 0i time on the 4th of
March, and If the legislature adj
ourns without filling it, the governor
would have no power to nil such
In that case, the seat
would remain vacant two years, or
Until another legislature meets and
ills it. One of our governors, James
J. Jones, in a similar case, has
.iven his Interpretation to this
lause of the federal constitution.
n 1912 the legislature failed to
lect successor to fhe Hon.
Gphraim II. Foster to the United
states senate. Histerm expired on
he 4th of March, 1872, Governor
ones declined to fill the vacancy
" executive appointment, and the
eat remained vacant for two years,
nd until succeeding legislature
vas elected, and met in 1874 and
lied it. CITIZEN.

Look out for spring Fleoa-
Ncw York Evenlng Post.

Two conditions are pieslnt which
will make the opening ofnexf spring
a season Of apprehension. In Nir-
ginia and all through the middle
states except inHlorthern New York,
there are vast deposits of snow, unu-
suaI thickness of ice ia the rivers
and lakes. The event of having un-
usually disastrous floods is there
fore only a question of weather. If
day succeeds day with sunny
warmth and slow disintegration Of
the great drifts. all will be well.
But if the rain decends, the SHOWS
melt suddenly and the rivers break
up in flood, there is the certainty
not only of the enormous damage
which a simple rise Of waters causes
along swift rivers, but OF the ice
dams which concentrate and inten-
sify disaster. For many years the
two potent causes OF great spring
floods, namely, thick ice and deep
snow, have never appeared with so
threatening aspects IS they do now.
