A Raid on Counterielters,

MOBILE, Oct. 19.-Three counter
feitels, Thomas and Oliver Bofan-
non and James Holloweil, alias
Sprague. who were Swallowed from
Louisville by government detectives,
were raided this morning in the sub
urbs by the detectives and police.
Thomas BohannoL attempted to es-
cape through a window, but was
wounded and captured. The other
two were arrested in the house, to-
gether with a woman who passed for
the wife of Thomas. At the same
time were captured ploster moulds,
metal battery. etc., all in use at the
time; also ia counterfeit dollar
pieces. oliver Bohannon is supposed
to be an ex-convict. He was for
merly a telegraph operator at Fort
Morgan. Before their arrest a good
deal of money was uttered by the
gang.

NOT in THE PoC1.

A few days ago the MINER pub.
lished excerpts from IN article which
originally appeared in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, in which the ground
was taken and maintained that the
Northern Pacific was not a party to
the railroad pool recently formed in
San Francisco by other transconti-
mental lines. The conclusion arrived
| at, that the Northern Pacific is not a
party t, the pool, is sustained by the
formal notice given by that company
| that it will not enter into the renew
al Of the contract system which has
heretofore existed between the Union
and Central Pacific companies and
merchants in San Francisco. The
controlling motive for not entering
into the pool, as stated by the
company, seems to be, that there is
certain classes of freight which will
go by way of Cape Horn instead Of
across the continent and that no
special contract system al prevent
it.
Whether this is the real reason or
not for its refusal is immaterial to
the public. Shippers are only inter-
ested in the fact that competition for
freight and passenger traffic is inev-
liable under the present relations
between the Union and Central Pa.
cific and the n orthern Pacific. But
it is not likely this competition will
benefit other than through shippers
and through passengers. Local rates
on the lire of either road will in all
probability remain unchanged except
in the case Of Butte. This city has
an immense tonnage at her COM
mand. The Northern Pacific will
soon be at her doors and unless a pool
be formed between the two compa-
MES a cutting of rates to and from
this point may be expected. While
the lowering of freight and passen-
ger charges would materially benefit
Butte and add greatly to the busl-
Eess and net income to both roads it
is not safe to calculate upon this
much desired cOnsummatlon. The
desires and intents o. latter-dav rail-
road companies are involved in SO
much mystery and their ways Sc
hard to find out that shippers must
base their estimates upon the rates of
to-day, not upon what they may
have some reason to think they will
be tomorrow.

ROBINS EGG BLUE"

President Arthur is a shrewd pole
tician, a thoroughbred disciple of
Isaac Walton, an admirer of Stall
warts and in addition to these very
common accomplishments he is ex-
tremely aesthetic in his tastes. When,
how and where he became a convert
to the peculiar vagaries Of Oscar
Wilde, and whether he parts his hair
in the middle and wears q sun-dower
in his button-hole is immaterial in =
historical point of view, but that he
has fitted up his bed ro0m in rob
ms egg blue" and has overhauled the
White House generally and as the
lines read, put it into a perfect state
of repair once more,'' is q cold hard
fact.
Surely no one begrudges the Presi-
dent pleasant or even palatial quar-
tiers. 1t is rather a relief to the
American people to learn that, after
bis rough and perilous journey over
the rugged mountains of Wyoming
in which he braved the onslaught of
the terrible cowboys of the wild
Western plains, and resisted the at
tacks of the dusky bellies of the
Wind River Indians and stood man.
fully against the allurements of his
"wine department." he is now com
fortably housed at the National ex-
pense. But they can't see why he
should discard the sober colors of his
predecessors and rig out his bed
room in "robin's egg blue" Again
the average American citizen cannot
for the life of him see the necessity
for such frequent repairs in the ex-
ecutive mansion. Each succeeding
President must alter this or that
room to suit his own peculiar notions
or taste. Expense is not taken into
consideration. A Presidents within
is only considered and in obedience
to it down goes one thing and uD
goes another.
How it can be posi- BILE for any
building to undergo such endless re-
pairs as the poor old White House is
made to suffer will ever remain a
profound and perplexing mystery.
A private citizen is extremely fortu-
tunate if he can afford to make re-
pairs in his domicil when they are
actually needed. But theWhite House
comes in for an overhau!ing with
every change of administration
Now we submit if it were not better
to pull the ancient mansion down
and build q modern house in its
place and thus relieve the Treasury
of this endless strain upon it rather
than to patch and plaster and paint
the old edifice over at the within
of every new conner. That "robin's
egg blue" departure is a little more
than the average citizen can stand. He
will, at least, draw the line OF paint
at "robin's egg blue"

A Serious Accident.

Yesterday forenoon, while loading
oats at the granary of Henry Hellin-
ger, near town, MI. John w. Gran
Miss met with a painful, if not serious
accident. HI left the team at the
door, having first tied the lines
around the brake handle. The team
starting, Mr.. Granniss jumped into
the hind end of the wagon, but before
he could reach the lines the team
turned q corner SO sharply as to take
them off their feet and overturn the
wagon. In the fall Mr.. Granniss
was struck by the wagon box or seat
and knocked senseless. One ear is
almost torn out of its socket, and
there is a YER cut near the other.
The head and body are also bruised
in several places. Everything pos
sible is being done for the comfort of
the injured man, and it is hoped the
injuries are but slight.-Avant Cvu-
ries, 18Th.

Ex-senator Bruce (colored) regards
the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court upon the civil
rights bill as a most unfortunate one
to the colored people. Mr.. Bruce is
unduly exercised about the matter.
The decision d~ispossesses the colored
people Of no lawful rights they have
heretofore enjoyed. 1t simply de-
clares unconstitutional an act of
Congress passed partly in Difference to
spirit Of rampant radicalism which
pervaded the Republican party sev-
eral years ago and of which it is not
altogether free at the present time
and partly to humiliate the Southern
people. 1t should never have found
= place upon u Statute books.
Now, that they are purged of it,
we apprehend the colored people all
over the Union will enjoy the same
and the same privileges as
were accorded them under it.

fight a pitched battle, n get pretty
soundly trashed, and yet both appear
the next day hurrahing and cheering
as if victory had perched on both
sides. Mark ~Tapleyism has become

Garlington's p

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The Sec
rotary of War has received from the
chief signal officer the official report
of Lieutenant T.. A. Darlington,
commander of the recent arctic expe-
dition to Smith Sound for the relief
of the signal party at Lady Franklin
Bay. Tue report is very long and
goes fully into all the details of
the voyage and the wreck of the Pro-
teus and the retreat of her survivors
in small boats to a North Greenland
settlement of Uper Navik The
principal points of the narrative have
been covered by previous accounts
from various sources, but the COM
ments and explanations of Lieuten-
ant Darlington are new and inter-
estlng. Some additional particulars
with regard to the management of
the PrOteus are also given and tend to
show that Capt. Pike was not as care
full and skillful a navigator as he mad
been supposed. Among such partic-
ulars are the facts that on the 9th of
July, Capt. Pike raD past the harbor
of Goodhaven in entire ignorance of
its proximity, although the weather
was clear. That on July 18th he run
his ship aground near Dircoford, in
consequence of %neglecting to take
soundiRgs, and that on the 10Th he
went entirely out of his course and
ran in toward Cape Walker at the
bottom of Melville Bay, supposing it
to beCape York, while the latterin re-
ality lay $50 miles to the westward.
Lieut.. Galington, however, does not
charge Capt. Pike with any neglect or
bad judgment in connection with the
trip by which the Proteus was
crushed. That he seems to regard as
accidental, pure and simple, without
negligence on the part of any one. He
confirms, however, the statement
first made by Commander Wildes, Of
the Yantic, with regard to the be-
havior Of Capt. Pixies crew. At the
first alarm of danger, he says, these
on duty abandoned their posts and ran
to save their own property in the
~forecastle, and as soon as the stores
began to go over the ships sides they
commenced to appropriate every
thing they wanted, breaking open
and rifing boxes and bags of private
clothing and stealing their contents.
Capt Pike said in reply to Lieut..
Garlington's protests that he was
Powerless to prevent this %plundering
of the ship and that the men of his
crew were ''the worst lot of scoun-
drels he eversaw."

DARLINGTON Justified.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 "A report
from Lieut.. Darlington, commander
of the recent Arctic expedition for
the relief of the Greedy party, is a
complete vindication of Darlington
as far as any disobedience of orders
is concerned. Gen. H=zen in a let
ter transmitted the report to the Sec
rotary of War and says the structures
made upon Darlington in this con-
nection is entirely unwarranted.

If the wheat crop of northern Min
nesota and Dakota is as badly injured
by frost as u dispatches of night be-
fore last say it is, thousands of farm
ers in that great wheat producing
section will be ruined and immigra.
ton to those promising lands will be
checked. It is hoped the destruction
is not as widespread as reported.
But whether it Is or not it will be
made the basis for a bull movement
in the wheat market and a bear raid
on Northern Pacific stock.
