The ConstOclz.

BY this time it ought to be about
clear to all concerned, that money
expended in works Of exploration
upon any Of the mines of this famous
mineral ledge, below depth OF q
600 feet, is money quite as irredeem-
ably thrown away as II it had been
carried to mid-ocean and there
dropped from over a ships side So
extensive and searching have been
tho tfuitleas explorations which
have been made already at q pro-
digious cost, that there remains
hardly the least scrap of ground
upon which to rest hope that q
bonanza remains to be found BIZ
such explorations, But so long as
stockholders are found willing to
pay assessments, they will be called
on to do SO, and these hopeless, but
costly, explorations will be con
tinued,-N. Y. Mining Record.

Reduction of Postage.

Washington, Dec. s.---Represent-
ative Bingham, in his report to the
House urging a reduction Of letter
postage to two cents, gives statistics
going as far back as 1892, when the
rate for carrying a letter was six
cents for a distance of 30miles and
25 cts. tor $50 miles. There is also a
careful estimate, based on the history
Of the past, which sustains the
theory Of the report, that the slim
Nus to letter writing, which would
naturally be caused by reduction,
would greatly lessen the estimates
of loss, which for the first year, no
counting such increase of letters,
would only reach s8,0o0,000.

in time for a lot Of members of
both political parties to reach the

night, which they swarmed and filed

WHEN such man as Hon. f. B
Ragland, of Brownsville, consents to
become a candidate for Congress the
people hail it as one of tho good omens
of the times He has had every local
honor that his neighbors could bestow.
He has been successful as merchant
and planter for forty years, and sur
rounded BOW by every comfort that
heart could wish, he is certainly be.
yond the point when mere ambition
could tempt him to enter the political
arena. AT the earnest solicitation Of his
friends, expressed at various times and
places with unmistakable sincerity and
earnestness he has consented to an
nouuce himself as candidate. He
states in card that he regrets the
circumstances that make the an
nouncement necessary, that his own
views of prOpriety and business ar.
rangements will not allow BIN to eR-
ter into any active canvass, but that
he reserves the right to visit such por.
tions Of the district as time, iuclina-
tion or opportunity may offer. Col.
Ragland is gentleman Of the old
school and ripe, intellectual powers,
yet in the prime Of life and fully up
with the times. In heart and SYM
pathy he is young and vigorous.
AS member Of the State Senate and
in all public positions of honor and
trust, Colonel Ragland has proved
himself a man OF big brain and heart,
Of fine judgment and splendid execu-
tive capacity. He would command
attention and respect in any represen-
tativc assemblage In Congress his
fine practical sense would make him
one of Tennessee's most influential and
useful representatives.
