The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-12-20

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-General
Hazen. chief signal officer, has pre-.
ferred charges against Lieutenant
Darlington for disobedience of orders
and neglect of duty in connection
with his command of the Proteus ex-
pedltion for the relief of Greely. The
charges were sent to the secretary of
war over week ago, with letter
asking an order for q court for their
trial, but no action has yet been
taken by Mr.. Lincoln, nor has he
yet decided whether he will order q
court or not. Lieutenant Darlington
arrived here Tonight. On his arrival
he said he was not aware of any
charges having been preferred against
him.
Representative Randall, chairman
Of the appropriations committee Of
the house, has received letter from
William Kerr, who was one of the
counsel ia the star route cases, with
reference to the proposition before
Congress to appropriate sum of
money to pay the charges awarded
by the court to Haller Kilb0urne, In
his eult against John q. Thompson,
ex-sergeant-at-arms of the house, for
illegal imprisonment on order of the
house, 1t Is said that in this letter
Kerr asserts that in each of the three
trials of this case the juries were
. Fl xed." Mr.. Randall refuses t.
make public the contents of this
letter or what disposition he has
made of it.

bers were present. In the absence of
the president, Hon. Jno. C. New
presided. Reports were made by the
board of directors and general man.
ager. which were unanimously ar
proved. The following officers were
elected: President. J seph Medill, of

The New Governor.

Our dispatches announce the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. b. Piatt Carpenter
for Governor of Montana. Mr.. Car
penter is resident of Poughkeepsie.
New York, and ran for Lieutenant
Governor on the ticket with Judge
Folger in 1882. The gentleman Is q
Stalwart and warm persona; friend
of Mr.. Arthur. In appointing Mr..
Carpenter to the GOvernorship Of
this Territory, Mr.. Arthur has again
ignored that plank in the Chicago
platform which pledged the Repub-
lican administration to make its
nominations for federal positions In
Territory, from residents OF the
Territory. 1t seems, however, that
the Territories are still considered by
the Republicans as dumping ground
for their partisans In the East. Well,
patience is a virtue, an0 We now have
a splendid opportunity to exercise 1t
and be happy.

Bogus Gold.

1t may prove of general interest to
chronicle the fact that the Philadel-
phla mint reports two attempts lately
to palm off spurious bullion. An an
alys!s revealed an ingenious device
for the deception of parties dealing in
gold bullion. The grains were found
to be neither more nor less than steel
filings, and to give them the appear
ance of grains of the precious metal,
they were covered with fine gold,
which was made to adhere by the use
of a composition of turpentine. 1t
was ascertained the gold on the bogus
grains amounted in valne to about 81
on each ounce. It Is believed some
one or more PERSONS are engaged in
the manufacture of bogus gold and
disposiug of it to gold dealers in the
western country.

General sherman,s Statement,

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15-Gen. Sherman
to-day in little chat about Senator
Vance's card, published in Washing
ton yesterday, said he had not used
Senator Vance's name in connection
with the JEFF Davis matter. that
Vance was IN no way connected with
the case, and that the coupling of his
name with it was done by the press,
which has unduly magnified the
matter. He then reiterated the
statement made in his dispatches a
few days ago, that when he gets ready
he will make a statement through
the war department, but not until
the present newspaper agitation has
quieted. The general will leave for

his order. bob" of course is
pleased with this unexpected wind
fall, and says LIE shall 60 back to
