Ii has been the strongly pronounced
desire OF the friends OF i.Chinese leg
~islatiou in the present Congress to secure
As long a term of restricted immigration
as possible. Had they deemed it con
sistent with good policy, they would, no
doubt. have taken radical grounds and
insisted upon a bill to exclude Cinnamon
from America absolutely and forever.
Their advocacy OF the t~wenty-year bill
was no. because they were unqualihedly
in favor Of it, but because they were
afraid that it was the best that could be
made a law. They failed in securing Tor
it the Presidents approval. They were
greatly disappointed, for they had sur
rendered something of principle for expe-
diency in asking that the Chinese be eX-
cluded from America for twenty years.
The result was calling to those represen-
tatives who stand upon high rational
grounds in legislation, that after sacri-
ticing their convictions and acqUiescing
in the necessity imposed by the situation,
their concessions and sacrifice OF convic-
tions should avail nothing with an inter
ested and prejudiced Executive. They
showed themselves to be remarkable for
self-denial and a conciliatory spirit. We
refer, of course, rather to the Democratic
members of Congress, for they are largely
in the majority OF the friends OF anti
Chinese legislation. When these were
forced to submit to the extraordinary as
sumption of power by Mr.. Arthur i'll ve-
toing, upon unreasonable and flimsy pre-
texts, the legislation that they had been
at so much pains to perfect, they
evinced a spirit of resentment which is
but human. Becoming reconciled, how
ever, with the fact accomplished, they
were not willing to retire further from
the premises in which they felt them
selves safely entrenched in reason and
justice to the people Of the United States,
than should be unavoidable. They held
out as long as possible for a ffteen-year
bill of restriction. They have had to
make a further concession, and they have
done so gracefully. Finding that a ten
year bill was the most advantageous to
be had, at present, the Democrats, with
the exception Of three, in the House, vo-
ted for it. Only one member held out
radically as against this compromise.
This is a matter Of record. 1t may be
harped upon with all the force of spread
eagle logic by our Republican friends
who so yociferousIy predicted that the
Democrats would stuitify themselves in
the matter for the sake Of thw4sting the
Republicans and in order to manufacture
political thunder. The fact is conspicu-
Gus that the Democratic party is almost
entirely anti-Chinese, while a clear ma
jority of the Republican party is pro-
Chinese. 1t will be amusing to observe
the efforts Of our sophistical friends to
argue themselves out of the awkward
situation in which they now find them
selves placed. for the second time.

WORKING REFRACTORY ORES.
Great Improvement, Seemingly, by
Aid of Molten Lead.
San Francisco Call.

The great desideration Of late years in
mining circles has been to discover a
method of working base, refractory and
l~ow-grade ores thoroughly and at small ex-
pense. No plan yet has been put into &C.
tive operation that is effective for general
ores. But, a process just invented by
Messrs. Brown and Gates, On its face ap-
pears to have made a great advance toward
the desired end. 1t has long been known
that molten lead has a strong affinity for
the precious metals, but to demonstrate
practically that large quantities of ores
could be worked by lead amalgamation, or
fusion, has presented so many difficulties
and obstacles that but little Roadway has
been made, until of late by the parties
mentioned. A Call reporter yesterday ex-
amined the process on Tyler and Jones
streets, and a description will be of inter-
est to many. The ore is finely pulyerized
by ordinary methods, then exposed to 600
or 800 degrees of heat in an ordinary re-
verberatory furnace. From the furnace it
goes into a molten lead bath, when the OPP
GRAFTON is complete, excepting the separa-
ration Of the metals at the retiner's. The
process is simple and complete, the great
obstacle to overcome being the introduce
ton of the ore into the molten lead with
out the latter being cooled off. This is
done by the following plan: A cast-irOn
vat, twenty inches in depth and twenty-five
inches in diameter, holding 9, 400 pounds
of lead in a convenient position to receive
the hot ore from the r~everbatory furnace,
is placed over a second small furnace, the
fuel of which is coal. Inside the vat is a
skeleton wheel set on an incline. One-half
OF the wheel is always in a cast-iron half
boxing, semi-circular in shape. This box
ing, it is evident, extends from the top to
the lowest point in the vat. Before COM
mencipg operations charcoal is placed IN
the surface of the molten lead to keep it
from oxidiMng by contact with oxygen of
the air, q hood is placed over the vat, and
through a feed pipe the heated ores are in
reduced into the semi-circular boxing,
falling between the cogs Of the wheel, the
wheel is turned by power communicated
through the shafting. As each little buck
ct, formed by two cogs on the wheel,
emerge from the boxing in the bottom, the
ore is discharged into the molten lead and,
being lighter, it rises to the top as tailiugs,
thep precious metals having all been taken
up by the lead. The inventors claim that
for $500 can be erected a plant capable of
handling thirty tons of ore per day. They
also claim a great saving in fuel and pow
er. In reference to power, one of the firm
says he can by hand put through fifteen
tons in a day. The inventors further claim
that by fire assay no gold or silver can be
found in the tailings coming out of their
vat.

there is merit in the Mormon religion or
else there are a multitude Of fools in the

ton is difficult. We cannot avoid both
horns Of the dilemma. We are forced
upon the latter.

FROM RIcHMoND.-A correspondent
at Richmond, Va, under date of january
q, to the BaltimOrean, sayS:-
There was quite novel event here on
Monday last This was the public out
cry of the furniture in the Executive Man
sion. 1t was the first time within the re-
collection of the oldest inhabitant, that
there had been an auction at the EXecu-
tive Mansion. The attendance was Yer;
large. This was quite natural since it
was the first time mal.y of those present
had ever enjoyed the opportunity to SIZE
the inside of what many persist in calling
the Governors House." Many expected
to purchase some rare antique specimens,
but they were disappointed. Nearly all
WAS of modern manufacture, aNd the an
Gent pieces consisted for the most part of
clothes presses ard old style bureaus Or
cabinets. Col. u. l.. Boyce, OF the Shcn-
andoah Railroad, purchased tue most Of
the parlor furniture, much Of which waS
quite handsome and in good condition con-
siderng that it was used hy the Governor
Wise ard his successors, the Hons. John
Letcher and William Smith, all Of whom
were elected previous to the war, The
mirrors were not offered, but the mat
trasses and bcdsteads realized excellent
prices Mr.. G. II. PoindeXter purchased
Il secretary and book case for s32, and this
was regarded rs the greatest bargain of tie
day. The aggregated sales will not en-
coed $500. The amount appropriated
for general refurnishing and renOva-
ton of the mansion, WAS $4,000, but it is
thought this sum will prove inadequate
and that another appropriation must be
made
