The New York Sun prints the follow

by the Hon. Henry Watterson to the
Courier-Journal from Washington, in
which he says that if Mr.. Randall and
his followers cannot support 50 cOnserva-
tive a measure as the Morrison bill they
can support nothing except a high tariff
bill, proposed by the Republicans; and in
that event they had better pick up their
gripsacks and go over to the Republicans,

Mines and Minerals of Mexico.

The next and most important deposits
are the important bed of iron, chiefly in
the form of the magnetic and hematite
ores. The well-knOwu Cerro del Merca-
do, in the State of Durango, has been es-
timated to contain sixty million cubic
yards of iron ore, which have a weight
of five billion quintals, and give, accord
ing to an analysis by NJ. H. Borje, of
Philadelphia, sixty-six per cent. of pure
metal. Lead ores are abundant; copper
is mined at various places; oxide of tin
is found in veins and alluvial beds at Du-
range. Mercury occurs as cinnabar in
several States and zinc ores, with plati-
large quantities, are found in chihuahua
The principal coal-beds are in the states
of OaXaCa, Vera Cruz, Mexico, Pueblo.
Neuvo Leon, Tamaulipas and Sonora.
The anthracite bed recently discovered at
Barranca, on the Yaqui river in Sonora,
is probably the largest and richest deposit
of coal in the republic. Ignite, or brown
coal, occurs in many places, but is not
used to any great extent. The demand
for coal is, 50 far, much greater than the
supply accessible to the railroads. Min
ing is still conducted by working ON the
old Mexican plan. and this system has
been found, under existing Circumstance
es. to be be more economical and prOfita-
BILE than system in which modern and
improved methods are applied.
Some of the oldest mines in Mexico,
many of which were worked before the
Spanish conquest, are at Pachuca, in the
state of Hidalgo. There are about $50 of
them, seventy-five of which are in the
Real del Monte, ,affording an ore composed
mainly of blackfsh silver sulphides. The
ore is worked here, as at Guanajuato, by
the patio process.

Business in a Mexican CITY.

A chihuahua (Mexico) correspondent
of the indianapolis Times says: Business of
all kinds is transacted here in a careless,
idOlent manner, and it is impossible to
impress native that there is any value
attached to time. Business generally
opens at a. IN. and closes at - m, to
allow all classes to indulge in eating,
smoking and sleeping until 3 p. m. At
this hours business again commences,
and closes irregularly, according to the
notion of the proprietor. Sunday pre-
sents but little difference in the business
aspect of the city, many branches, how
ever, being somewhat more lively than
during the week.
The chief industry of a large portion
of the population of this place appeors to
consist Of sitting on the curb stones, lean
ing against the sunny side of building,
or loafing on the Grand Plaza smoking
cirgarettes, which they deXtrously make
by rolling a small portion of tobacco in a
bit of prepared corn hI1sk which is sold in
neat rolls on the market at trifing cost.
Amost every native weals a sarapa or
shawl thrown over the shoulders and
drawn up around the face so as to con-
ceal almost the entire face, little being
visible save a pair of shining black eyes.
Even those who engage in manual labor
do not dispense with the sarapa, and it is
curious sight to see men carrying
water, wood OF stone and doing various
kinds Of works, with a cumbersome
shawl over their shoulders and necks,
which must be constantly adjusted to
prevent falling off. They seem to be in
a chronic state of suffering from the
cold, even on pleasant days, and appar-
emily afraid to allow fresh, air to touch
their bodies.

A GAME OF BLUFF.
An Effort to be Made to Kill the Nor
rIson Bill without Debate.


Saturdays New York Herald's Wash
ington special says: Both factions of the
democratic party in the house are play
ing a game of bluff, which is getting to
be extremely monotonous to those who
look on. 1t is a relief, therefore, that a
caucus is to be held. The preliminary
beating of drums, which has been going
on must, it would seem, then come to a
stop.
What the caucus will conclude nobody
now knows, although blusterers on both
sides profess to be very confident
Whether the caucus is to be merely
conference, to talk the Morrison tariff
bill over, or whether it will be a real eau
Gus prescribing a party policy is not even
yet certain. How much the friends of
the bill will concede if anything, is not
known; nor what concessions, if any,
will secure the support of those who now
oppose it. In a sort of prOnunciamentO
issued here tonight, probably without
the knowledge or the consent Of the
tariff reform leaders, it is suggested that
the bill will be opened to amendment in
the house. and that Mr. Morrison will
accept amendments. But, an the other
side, the protectionist democrats desire
not only to defeat the bill but to prevent
its consideration.
The game has become one of political
strategy between Mr.. Morrison and Mr.
Randall. Mr.. Randall has a grievance,
and to defeat the Morrison bill would
mean to him the defeat of Mr.. Morrison.
The success of the bill would mean not
only a second and almost ruinOus person
al defeat for Mr.. Randall, but it would
insure victory for the tariff reformers
at Chicago in July. The weak point of
the tariff reform side lies in their known
anxiety to pass a measure through the
house. This has led to attacks upon
them from men whose votes were neces-
sary, and who have demanded that their
special interests be exempt from reduc-
ton. Thus ores were some time ago
of some Southern democrats, and the free
list generally was pared down. At
present attempts are making to coerce
MIR. Morrison into the abandment of the
whole free list, and even changes in the
body of the bill are urged. What he will
agree to concede remains to be seen, and
and whether any concessions will help
him effectually. The republicans are
very desirous to secure the defeat of the
bill without debate, but some Of them do
not agree to this. They have prepared
tariff speeches, and would like to put
themselves ON record. An attempt is
making, however, to secure a united re-
publican vote to cut off the bill without
debate, and the leaders on that side be-
ieve that they can get democratic votes
enough, if their own men stand solid, to
lay the bill aside when it is brought into
committee of the whole.

Coming to think of it, the New York
Star thinks the selection of the same
place for holding the conventions of both
parties is a good omen for the Democrats.
In 1874 Henry Clay was nominated at
Baltimore and James K. Polk at the
same place. Polk was elected. And
when, in 1852, Franklyn Pierce and Win
field Scott were both nominated at BaIti-
more, Pierce was elected. The oracle at
Chicago would probably tell us that the
Democrat who is chosen there will also
be elected. But then we don't know
where to find the o.acle, and viii have to

TiIden and the Star Route Case

TiIden and the Star Route Gases.
Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. George Bliss continued his testimO-
ny befors the Springer committee to-day
ON the subject of the star route trials.
He charged that A. NJ. Gibson, special
counsel for the government, sold infOr-
nation to the defendants, and that Col
onel Cook had sold copies of official pa
pers to the opposing counsel. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Bliss said: Gibson is entitled
to the credit of having early arrived at
the knowledge of the star route frauds.
He wrote considerable for the New York
Sun. At some time or other TiIden be-
came 50 interested that he furnished
money to be quietly used in the investi-
igation. AT certain stage of the mat
ter Tilden sent c.. F. McLain to Wash
ingtOn. He was known as an adopted
son of Mr.. Tilden. He is a gentlem an
and lawyer, if these things can be COM
bined. MCLain came to Washington and
went back and said things were properly
managed. He was a law partner of H.
E. Knox. Knox was chum of James
A Garfield. Tilden obtained this infor-
nation, and if he had been nominated
by the Democratic party he would have
made a campaign on the star route frauds,
as he did in New York on the campaign
frauds. If he had there, wouldn't have
been any need for an electoral commits
sion. But Tilden did not run, and he did
not give his information to Hancock.
