earn Sl2, and there Is one case men

My DEAR OLp MAJOR:
May Sth, 1884

W Y DEAR OLb NJ AJOR.
You have asked TO hear from us.
50 here is my style.
Prot. Bryan, Major Woodruff,
and Col, Watson are here, and
have been viewing our camp for
week, and are so well pleased that
they have promised us thirtv-ton
smelter at oncc--the miners here
agreeing to furnish thirty ton of
ore per diem, which we can do
without any trouble whatever
Well, this is all we have wanted,
having been here for a time, and
times, and this will now allow us
to 90 to work, and we can develop
our property on the ore taken out.
AS it was, we had spent our last
nickel; as it is, we ask no tavors.
We know we have the best camp
in New Mexico, If we only had the
machinery.
The tunnel on the Chinaman is
in about 90 feet, and they expect
TO tap the vein any day, which will
be about 90 feet deep, and from
there we can take out almost ore
enough to run our smelter-they
had undertaken quite a job, but
have the nerve, and are sure going
to get there, Eli.
The Cricket is fact, having
about two feet Of pay streak, run
ming from G5 to 90 ounces in silver.
The Christmas has over four feet
on which there has been mill
run giving about - ounces.
The Clarence has a pay streak OF
about 30 inches, assaying as high
as 165 ounces. And we have 4O
others, which are as good prospects
as the above.
Our merchant, Mr.. j. q. Huber,
has put in a stock of goods that
you can hardly beat in White Oaks,
and sells them as cheap. In fact,
we are all determined not to be
outdonc.
Mr.. p Nelson las finished hi,
house, 25x40, and we have pre-
vailed on him to give the gloriou,

have agreed not TO fish any, il
order to gIyo you White Oak,

invited to attend our celebration
and enjoy yourselves for once, &c

Told by Simon Cameron

/ ne venerable Simon Cameron
has been talking to reporter of
the Boston UeraI& upon old war
times when he was a member of
Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet. He said
there were some able men in the
Cabinet, but Mr.. Lincoln was
greater than them all. Mr. Cam
eron related the following anec-
dotes:
"When / was at the head of the
War Department, ] could scarcely
see where our Generals got their
soldiers from. Everybody seemed
to be staying at home and trying
to speculate off the government.
My Office, my house, my bedroom,
my carriage even, were constantly
in state OF siege. All sorts OF
persons thronged about me and
pcstered me with all sorts Of
schemes. One man, who has
since been candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States, came to
see me almost every day for a
month. lie had a patent yeast
powder which he wanted to get
adopted in the Commissary Depart
ment. | don't know what the in
gradients were, but 1t was some
stuff to be mixed with the flour in
the barrels. | did recommend it
to the Quartermaster, but he
wouldn't try it. But | believe it
was good yeast-powder. | re-
member another instance which is
rather amusing. One day as | was
about to step into my carriage two
men seized on me, one at either
hand, each importuning me to get
him appointed to some place or
other. Twenty or thirty years be
fore a man deserted his wife and
little baby i'll the town where
lived, They were of respectable
stock, but his desertion left them
destitute. The towns-peoplc took
pity on them and helped them with
various donations. | remember
that | gave the baby pair Of red
shoes. The baby grew up to be 9
young man and lost sight OF him
but when | looked at the faces o
these two men who were after office
| recognized them, and the two lit
tie red shoes came up before my
eyes as if had just bought them
The man at my one hand was the
baby that wore the shoes. The
man at the other was the iathel
who had deserted him. Neither
knew the other, and didn't intro
duce them,

HATE IN POLITICS.

In politics, as in all other walks
Of life, love and hate are impOr-
tant factors, but, to us, it has al
ways seemed that in politics, love
ALWAYS beams with a brighter lus-
tire. and hate is more malignant
than when developed in any other
stage or theatre of life. 1t has
sometimes been questioned as to
which was the stronger passion.
love or hate, and were it not for
the inherent faith which fills the
heart of man, that God is stronger
than Satan. and that the former is
in Himself love, while the latter is
the persouitication OF hate, it would
seem as though hate were stronger
than love. Hate is robust, and
like the wind, demonstratiye, while
love is like unto the sun which
throws its benignant rays upon
mankind during the day, and the
moon which at night sheds its efful-
gence upon us, each and both leav-
ing us the better for their coming.
The love Of some men Is more
humiliating, to the object, than
their hate. To be regarded with
respect by one himself unworthy OF
confidence, is misfortune, if the
object of such regards be worthy.
This is a free country. In it the
law gives man the right to think,
to give expression to lis thoughts,
and to emphasize them with hi:
vote. lie can be Republican or :
Democrat, and there are none EN-
powered to let or hinder. While
each and all are supposed to Year,
for the common veal. it would bC
a violent stretch Of common sense
to even hope that all should OF

looking upon cur country as
mother, each citizen should regar(
his fellow as Il brother, and as eacE
claims his individual right tc

respect the same rights in others
Love, not hate, should be cmpero
OF our hearts, and our brains De tn,
seat Of empire, into which no un
clean or uncharitable though
should be permitted to enter.

THE AGONY OVER

Last week the people Of the EN-
tire Union, aye, OF the universe,
were in state Of expectancy, bor-
dering on anxiety, touching whom
the Republicans, in National Con
vention assembled, would name as
the occupant of the Presidential
chair after its being vacated by
President Arthur.
Owing to wash-outs on the Il. K
and the sweeping away by freahets
of telegraphic poles and wires, our
people were forced to stand on tip
toe for several days, feverish to
learn the result of the deliberations
OF the assembled representatives of
the Republican party, but not until
Monday morning was the anxiety
appeased, and that through letter
/ forwarded the LEADER from a more
fortunate section.
Blaine and Logan is the
chosen slogan Of the Republican
party, and IN our honest judgment
better or stronger ticket could
not have been selected. The abil
ity Of Blame, and patriotism Of Lo-
gan, are unimpeachable and unas-
sailable. OF course, each will have
opponents, within and without his
party, but that will only prove
them possessed OF minds the output
of which stirred other minds, and
the appearance OF enemies but
gives force and illustration to the
proverb that the man having nc
enemies is undeserving Of friends. =
