NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY JANUARY IL 1888,

But il will not remedy itself. II the Kepuoh-
cana of New York do not themselves strike the
blow, they must expect in the future, as III tle
past, tc have 10 part nor lot In the guiu"nce y.
party affairs TO see delegations sent to the local
and State conventions which represent nooouy

selfish policy Experience has shown INA. IL 10
useless to hope that the district assoclasio"S
will be reformed from the inside. OD'len
French & Co. have neither the taste nor the TAI
ent for that sort of work. What then ohaiI
tie State Convention lie looked to for redress
But the State Convention has been looked I'd III
vain. The convention that met III THIS city III
1881 was formally and fervently requested 10
take steps looking to reorganization. buI INC
effort failed Mr.. George Bliss. who had cfleu
and spared not In behalf of such reform wheh
reform was impossible, going over 10 Vne
enemy Just rs soon as it appeared to be not only
nc ssible but probable. History is apt to repeat
itself IN political convention az elsewhere,
40 that if the Republicans of New-Yolk wait Tor
such tribunal to right their wrongs they may
wait for the rest of this century. Some OF our
friends, after condemning the course pursued
by those who manage the local Repupileah
machine add for comfort that radical COT
rection of the abuses of which they complain Is
only "a question of time" But we beg TO re-
mind all such that reforms which are set uo"n

wait for them to be brought about commonly

And therefore it is that we call upon all Re

of local party reorganization to help them

The Tammany members of the State Senate
have retreated from the position of aggressive,
not to say cantankerous, independence which
they occupied last session. Yesterday the
Anti Tammany lion opened its mouth and gave
them a cordial invitation to come into 1t and be
swallowed. They accepted the invitation-in
other words, they voted to make John {. Jacobs

THE ILGES COURT M4RTTAL.

some Testimony Favorable to the Accused
Adduced-The Adjournment Till Mon
day.
The court martial session of yesterday
did not exceed an hour in length, although
four witnesses were examined for the ac-
cused.
After reading the minutes of Thursday,
Col. Ilges filed with the judge advocate
written statement embracing the reasons
why he desired the court to summon Gen.
Rosser, paymaster general of the army at
Washington. The court went into secret
session on considering the coloners re.
quest, and when again in open session, the
judge advocate announced that the court
had decided not to grant the request.
Major Alfred E. Bates, witness for the
prosecution, was then called for the de-
fense, and testified that he had been sta
toned in Washington since June l, 1882,
and that his duty as post paymaster was
to pay the accounts of army officers. He was
then asked to state without giving names.
if, in the discharge of his duties he had
ever received the accouts of officers in du-
plicate or triplicate, and paid the same.
Objection was made by the Judge ad-
vocate, which objection was sustained by
the court.
Col. Ilges said he had no further ques-
tions to ask the witness.
Major VIM. Smith was then called, to
whom the same question was put by the
accused. Objection was made by the
prosecution, and sustained by the court.
Lieut.. Col. Gibson, a member of the
court, was then sworn, and testified to his
acquaintance with the accused, and to his
general reputation as an officer and gem
tleman and his excellent record in the
service, all of which was very favorable to
Col. nges.
Mr.. Albert Scheffer was sworn for the
defense, and testified that after refreshing
his memory, and on investigation of his
bank, he was positive the pay accounts of
the colonel for August, November and
December had never been sent to Wash
ington for collection. That there was an
expressed understanding between himself
and Col. Ilges that these accounts were
given as collateral security for the loan of
$500 to Ilges, and that he (Scheffer) was to
hold them subject to redemption by Col
Ilges as soon as Ilges could obtain from
1AiO ChAlCO StdlCS
was due him; that the money was loaned
to Ilges irrespective of the face
value of the pay accounts. He
was satisfied that Col. Ilges did not intend
to defraud him in any way, and that the
reason the accounts were not redeemed was
owing to negligence and careIessness on
| the part of the colonel. The accounts had
never been presented for payment in the
sense and manner in which bank paper
was 'presented," and no effort had been
made to collect them from the govern
| ment.
The accused asked for copy of the
court proceedings thus far had which the
court directed should be given him.
The court then adjourned until Monday.

shall county, if the citizens should vote to
accept the same at a special election.
This special election was held short
time since and the people of Marshall coun-
ty voted 357 to to annex the township.
A certified abstract of this vote was re-
ceived by Gov. Hubbard yesterday, asking
that a proclamation be made that the
boundary line be changed.
On reference to the state constitution by
Governor Hubbard and Secretary Denni-
son itw found that it requires that in
order to change boundary line of coun-
ty its voters must consider the question at
general election. This, therefore, leaves
township 154 out in the cold until next
November, and it is suggested that it will

About o'clock yesterday, afternoon, the
dead body of an infant child, probably not
over two or three days old, was discovered
by party of boys in the ravine foul
blocks back of the Pitman house, floating
in the water. Chief Shortall was imme-
diately notified and repaired to the place
where upon examination the skull of the
child was found to be crushed, bearing
the mark of having been hit with some
heavy instrument. By the appearance of
the body it had been in the water for some
time, as it was in state of decomposition
The matter is now in the hands of Chief
Shortall, which will no doubt be thoroughly
| investigated

THE RICHES OF THE MINES.
IhetF Yield OF Cold and Sitter Durin0 La

1hetr Yield OF Cold and Sitter Duri3l0 Last
Year.
The following is an abstract of the spe-
cial report of Mr.. Burchard, director of
the mint, upon the production OF the
precious metals in the United States,
which was ordered to be printed by the
last congress. The yield of the mines of
the United States for 1882 was S32, 100000
in gold, $46,0O0,000 in silver; total of
$79,3OO,OOO. Compared with the previous
year, this shows decline of S2,2OO,OOO of
gold and an increase of S3,SOO.OOO of
silver. The comparative decline in
the production of gold was greater in Cal
ifornia than in any other state or terri
tory-the yield being $1,4O6,OOO less than
in 1881. This resulted from the interrup-
ton of hydraulic mining in some of the
northern and middle counties, owing to
litigation, and also from the falling off in
the production of the quartz mines at
Bodie. In Oregon, where the mining is
chiefly placer, there was diminution, and
also in Nevada, Idaho and Dakota. In sill
yer the principal increase was in Idaho
Montana and New Mexico-Idaho showing
an increase of 100000, Montana $1,74O,
900, and New Mexico $1,000, Colorado
furnished about 100000 less silver thar
in 1881. Of the bullion production of the
country, $309,74,95S of gold and $31, 400,
1872 of silver were deposited at the mints
and assay offices for coinage, or return in
bars to depositors. Of the deposits of
gold $5,60O,OOO was paid in bars for man
ufacturing purposes, and the remainder
went into coinage; $1,4OO,OOO was furnish
ed by private refneries for manufactur
ers' use, and there was an export of $175,
900 in silver bars. Of the
total silver production, $780,
600 was xportea-$5, $4,000 furnished
by the mints and assay offices to manufac-
turers, $35O,0OO by private refneries for
the same purpose, and $24,7OU,OOO was
used in coinage. The production of the
coutry was from the states and terri
tories as follows:
