was paid an average Of s16 freight, includ-
ing the handling of sacks, loading and un-.
loading. It has come down now to 80 and
sl2 and the present ore shipments via Gran
ite do not exceed 80 tons per month. To st.
Elmo and Gunnison via Crested Butte the
shipments have hardly reached 100 tons.
There is good deal Of freight going into
Aspen, about 800, 600 pounds awaiting ship
ment now. Freight into Aspen from Gran
ite is 81 to $3.50 per 100 pounds.-Mine,
Stack and Rail.
In referring to the back numbers of the
Miner we find that there were shipped from
the Georgetown depot during October, 1885,
$50 tons 800 pounds of ore. During the
corresponding month of 1886, there were
shipped 915 tons. These figures show an in
crease of about IS tons, and yet we hear
some croakers say that the shipments have
decreased. The Miners Sampling works, of
this place. handled during the month of Oc-
tober, 1885, go tons Of ore, the average value
of which was $132.32 per ton, silver being
q. .0S, making total of $50, ,4s3. Compare
this with the shipments of October this
year, when the same works handled 1856
tons, of an average value per ton of abou
s101, silver averaging $.9s; total value, $50,
600. And we venture to assert that this con-
trast will hold good with other works.

Swapping Wives.

A Chatham, North Carolina, special
the chain gang on Saturday for having
traded wives with another man. When
Judge Gilman asked him what he had to say
why sentence should not be passed he re-
piled that he did not know that his act was
crime. A man came to his house with a
woman that was better looking than his own
wife, and bantered him for trade, so he
swapped and paid $3.50 to boot. AS this was
his first swap, he hoped that the Court would
impose light sentence.
The other man who was a party to the
trade has not been apprehended, as he lives
some miles up in the country, and the Off
GERS have been unable to catch him.

The Reported Exodus.

We DO not suppose the Republican
leaders are 90 unwiSe as to be seriously
contemplating the adoption Of the scheme
sat forth in the following extract from
= special in yesterdays issue Of the
New York World. That special says
WASHINGTON, August 29.-There
Is new movement of some magnitude
about to be insugurated by the Ma
tionsl Republican Congressional Com
mittee in the way Of systematic ex-
odus Of colored people. It has been
matter Of long-standing complaint With
the Republican Managers that IN parts
Of the South there are many Repuoli-
can negroes whose votes are wasted,
and that the race is not making
any advancement. There has been for
several years an organization TO
look after this matter. Fred. Dou-
glass, of this city, is president OF
the organization. He has studied the
question carefully and collected many
statistics. The Republican committee,
which has large sum OF money at its
disposal, purposes to distribute these
eolored men before the campaign OF
1883 where they will do the most good.
Il is intended to send large colonies to
certain parts OF Missouri, where few
more votes are needed, and to Southern
Indiana. Dakota, too, has been con-
sidered a good place for large colony
preparatory to its admission into the
Union. Milton Turner, cOlored law
ser. of St. Louis, who had charge Of the
case of the Indian Territory freedmen
before Congress last winter, is actively
ergs ged in the matter, and is highly in
favor Of sending a large colony TO the
proposed Territory Of Oklahoma.

Native Champagne wfne-An Inscrip-
Iion-Funeral.
; Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE August 30th.
On Saturday the first champagne
ever made in the State, probably, was
made in. Albemarle. The wine was
bottled by Mr.. John l.. Keller, at the
University, under the supervision OF
Mr.. Arnaud, the superintendent Of the
Monticello Wine Company, and OF Mr..
Oscar Reierson, the secretary and trsa-
surer of that company. The cham
payne was made from excellent Concord
white wines one year old, and was pro-
nounced by Mr.. Armand as equal to
anytof American manufacture that he
had ever seen and others who tasted
1t found il as good as they could wish.
About one hundred and twenty quarts
were bottled in a few hours. This
champagne was not made for sale, but
ss an experiment. The visitors to the
Pathological Convention, soon TO meet
here, will have an opportunity of test
ing this native champagne, bottled in
Virginia.
1t is confidently believed that excel
lent champagne can be put on the mar
ket proftably here in Albemarls. The
modest experiment of last Saturday
would seem to settle the question
pretty well. The only record made by
the experimenters was that chalked on
the wall by Treasurer Reierson: "2Sth

Now what an uncsndid and unjust
statement that is. Virginia has Tor
more than four years last passed offered
to pay twenty-one millions out OF the
,hirty.one millions which it is claimed
she owes. She has offered that amount
As what she is able TO psy. Some Of
the bondholders have accepted the
offer. butthe most Of them still refuse
to accept the terms offered By the Com
monwealth. To offer to pay moro than
two-thirds Of o debt which was IN
creased to thirty millions by allow
ing interest upon interest in 1866 and
.gain in 1877, and again in 1872 would
be TO run the risk Of "negro suprem-
acy." Tho people Of Virginia have
seain aud again declared at the ballot
box that they will not pay any more OF
the debt than is provided for in the
RIDDLEBERGER bill. They have over
and over again thus "signiiied their
willingness " TO pay what the State IS
able to pay" but if the hand of any,
body has been " stretched out to aid "
Virginia, it was not the hand OF any
person who could be influenced by
Messrs. JOHN A. HAMILTON X Co.,
nor any others Of the bondhslders'
agents in this country.

On the farm Of Mr.. W. C. Marrow,

was the property Of Major Marrow,

who was an aid on General Lees
staff. The horse was in q number
of battles, and was at the surren-

year Of 1865 be was carried to the
above farm, he being at that
that time twelve years of age. There
he has remained up to the present time.

BLAINE's speech opening the cam

we have observed, said a word upon the
very point which we bad guessed
would attract his attention first. As
it at least possible that he has over
looked the declaration to which we refer,
we will here quote it again. Mr..
BLAINE said
1.-The Republican party in Name
from the day Of its organization has
been pledged to prohibition-enacIiug
the principal statute now in force IN
1888, and since amending 1t from
year to year as the leading temperance
men requested. The changes to make
il more effective have averaged nearly
one for every year since the original
law was passed"
Ohio has o foreign-born population
of about 400, 600, of whom about half
are Germans. In other words, Ohio
has about $4,000 foreign-born voters,
of whom about 10000 are Germans.
These German voters are mostly Re-
publicans, though Of course many
Of them are Democrats. Let US es-
innate, however, that only 2O,-
600 Of them are Republicans,

Hard on Blaine.

Mr.. BLAINE is catching j. on all
sides. There is hardly sentence in
his Sebsgo lake speech that has not been
ndslsd by the press. The Chicago
Times puts the Plumed knight and his
keynote through the pulyerizing pro-
cess in the following thorough manner
"Mr. Blaine, who energies for the
first time since going off mad after his
Augusta speech at the close Of the cleo
tion, is evidently not the man be was
once. His recent speech is positively
dull. 1t is absurd as an argument,
weak as 10 statement, commonplace IN
expression, and bears in every line the
evidence Of serious mental decline.
The Republicans in 1883 may nomi-
nate q man named Blaine, but they
will not nominate the Blaine Of 1854.
There IL no such man. Rage, disap-
poinsment, humiliation, and perhaps
rtmorse, appear to have sadly im-
paired bis intellectual yigor."
TIE Times then proceeds to cap th'
climax Of cruelty BY giving JAMES I
very hard nut to crack. 1t says;
"Tbe laboring men are not likely 4
be scared by Mr.. Blsins's chcsp-negro
labor bugsboo. While making tn
