Special to the lntell,gcncer.
Sr. CLAInsylLLE, O., June 23.-Immc
diately upon the adjournment Of the Con
vention the committee came together in
the Grand Jury room Of the county couri
house, and organized by elec,ing Mr.
Rainey chairman, Mr.. Jordan secretary
and Mr.. Jamison spokesman for the com.
mittee. st,is! i s5-
Mr. Jamison suggested that the commit.
tee first meet in executive session, and
adopt some sort o! rules to govern its pro.
ceedings. This motion was adopted, and
the few outsiders present retired.
Mr.. Jamison then further moved that the
proceedings be strictly private, neither
the public in general nor reporters OF the
press being admitted, and that Mr.. lIollo-
way, whose motion had created the Com.
mittee, furnish the Committee with list
OF tho persons who were believed to know
anything that would aid the Committee in
the discharge OF its duties that these per.
sons be summoned before the Committee,
and il they were found to know anything
duplicating any candidate by bribery or
attempts at bribery, that candidate be no:
titled of the fact and permitted to DO pres
cnt at the further proceedings of the Com
mittce either III person or by counsel.
This plan OF operations was adopted and
adhered to, though the friends and autl,or-
lied representatives OF every candidate
whose name lad been mentioned in the
convention, in some cases the candidates
themselves, requested, demanded and I'M
plorcd that Mt least the reporters OF the
Wheeling press be admitted, MS they de-
sired that tho testimony be taken down rs
1t was uttered, and printed. The commit
tee, for some reason, thought bestto be firm,
and in spite Of all protest proceeded to the
examination Of witnesses with closed doors.
The witnesses were sworn by w Mitch.
ell, Esq q notary Of St. Clairsvile. Col.
poorman was first summoned, and Mr.:
Janison, with due formality,. addressed
him with the predatory remark ~ e IA &

ton with the Republican Congressional
Convention now in session Mt this place."

upon the Central Committee OF Guernsey
county for the manner in Which tho dele.

were elected, be expungcd from the

oil his motion, reading the credentials oI
the Guernsey delegates, and going into the
manner III which the committee had
directed that they should be chosen. Dr.
Ely, a member Of the committee from Bel.
mont county, explained that tho intention
OF the committee was not in any sense tc

action OF the Guernsey county committee,
but that it was the purpose OF the com.
mittec TO set the seal OF disapproval upon

siderable discussion on the subject, the

ClSclSS4TI, June 23.-The past two DAYS
have done more to encourage the farmers
IN those portions Of the country where cold
and wet weather have delayed the crops
than any other period this summer. Corn
under this weather grows most rapidly
wheat ,r'Pens, and, it is said the army
worm dies under the SUMS fierce rays. Re
ports OF army worm ravages are not alarm
ing, except us to barley. This crop is at-
tucked throughout Southern Ohio and es,i.
mates place the damage at from forty to
fifty per cent Of the crop. The wheat har.
vest will begin in u few days. Where the
worm has attacked the wheat it eats oil
the leaves only and does not injure the
head. General business has been dull.

n Mormon Story,

We find the following in the tele
graphic columns of the Omaha Bee
dated Chicago, March 5th: A gentle
man from Salt Lake, who has been
visiting Omaha for few days is au-
thority for the statement that the be-
lief is spreading throughout Utah that
Brigham Young is not dead. It is
claimed by a large number of persons
who saw the body supposed to be that
OF the Mormon leader that in point of
tact it bore but slight resemblance
to brigham Young. The man who
makes these statements is Mormon
but not a polygamist. He saws he
has often heard Brigham Young pre-
dict that he would be resurrected from
the dead. His theory is, that when
the crisis arrives in the affairs of the
Mormons the resurrection dodge will
be played upon the ignorant, supersti.
uous and fanatical people who COM
pose the Mormon Church as a means
OF ceEsnt'ng them firmly together to
light IN maintenance of their priuci-
Piles and faith.

Does Mining Pays
N. Y. Stock Report.

Ask California, with her 865, 900 in
habitants, and production Of 81, Ooo,'
100000 of gold since 1S49. Ask San
Francisco, with its $4,000 people,
many Of whom remember when the
first houses were erected by the Ar
conauts, showing a growth in thirty
three years exceeding the capacity OF
the imagination to conceive Of. Ask
what would she be to-day had it not
been for her gold mining.
Has the discovery of the precious
metals within her borders paid Colora-
do, the youngest Of all the States, yet
standing in the front rank in railroad
building, whose coal and iron indus
tries are rivaling those of the older
States, and whose silver production
takes first place in this or any other
country. Ask Denver, the Queen
City Of the West" whether mining
has paid. Denver, with her 10000
souls, all busy and happy, its build
ings Greeted by miners) rivallng
those of the oldest cities Of the East.
Ask Leadville, the city in the clouds,
with its 10000 people, all engaged in
swelling it's silver output to over $751;
10000 per year. Ask the numerous
camps throughout the State that help
ed augment Colorado's bullion produc-
ton in 1881 to over $23, 100000.
Has it paid Nevada? Has Eureka S
$76, 900 been devoid of benefit to
that State? Has Comstock's $780,
900, 900 failed to infuse new life and
energy into that Mecca of glittering
wealth?
So we might continue. Has it paid
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho,
Montana, Dakota? Has it paid the
whole country? Does it pay to add
$S4, OOO,000 annually to the enduring
wealth of the nation? Has it paid to
have the vast territory west of the
Rocky Mountains opened up to settle
ment, to have the railroad reach from
the Missouri River to the Pacific?
Has it paid to have 100000 hardy
sons of toll people those wilds where
only the Indian held sway few years
ago? Does it pay the Government to
receive 100000 per pear for prop.
erty that recently was inaccessible,
and which would be to-day but for the
miner, whose going before made it an
object for the railroad to reach out
and enjoy the benefits arising from
his toll, and the railroad opened the
way for the farmer and the tradesman
so that to-day that which ten years
ago was a vast, unbroken wilderness,
with the savage lurking behind every
bush, is now IA blooming garden, send
ing forth its treasures to gladden. the
hearts of the million of toilers in the
East, besides supplying the means to
reduce our immense public debt. In
view of these facts, can any one ask:
