LIKE TO DIED.

Mr.. Henry Burgess, the proprie-
tor of the Union League Club, was
accidently poisoned last week while
drinking from copper cup. There

cup had been setting in the closet
some weeks and not being thorough
ly washed, some of the canker was
swallowed by Mr.. Burgess. In a few
moments after the soda had been
drunk he was taken deathly sick.
The physician was Immediately
summoned, who said, that he was
In a dangerous condition. His wife
was dispatch for, as we'll as his rel

RECORDER OF DEEDS

There is some disposition on
the part of Congress TO make the
office of Recorder of Deeds sal
ried office, simply because it is
thought that some colored man
may be appointed. We think
that it would be unwise tor a
republican Congress to make the
office a salried one, especially
when the democrats refused to do
so. This is all the capital the
democrats want in 80 and if the
republican party can stand it the
negroes certainly can. We sup
pose if white man is appoint
ed, there will be no reduction in
the salary, but if a colord man lie
appointed an effort will be made
to make the office a salaried one.

POINTS and SUGGESTIONS from
s'The WORLDS" OBSERvANT READER
To the Editor of The World,

To the Editor of The World,
| thank you very much for the kind
word spoken of Us in your paper regard
ing the emigration OF the negro to Africa.
You have said rightly-like every other
true and honest man would say-5hat we
have as much right to this country as
Senator Morgan or any other man. Sem
ator Morgan makes 4 blind statement
when he saysthere are no negro bank pres
idents. Governors, &c for had he inves-
tigated just little farther into our affairs
he would have found right in the heart of
Washington not only negro bank pres
ident but negro bank. having for its pres
Milton Holland, negro and so far mel
Their a cashier nor teller has gone to
Canads. either. The Irish, Italians,
and every either race under the sun is
tolerated; why not US? Is it because God
created us darker hue? II this is the
reason, cry shame, everlasting shame
upon those who, like Senator Morgan,
wish US to emigrate to another country.
Inasmuch as they tolerated the first wo-
men who were brought over to Virginia,
they should tolerate us, whose forefathers
not only toiled to enrich them, but who
suffered and died under the inhuman
fortunes inflicted upon them.

A Valuable Discovery.

Excitement exists at Virginia City over
the discovery Of what is purported to be
the source Of supply for the ~s60,OO0,00O of
placer gold that filed old Alder gulch In
early days. A few days since, at what was
probably at one time the apex OF the lava
mountain located about two miles north
Of the town, q man named kellogg dis
covered small outcroppings Of granite,
and after some digging soon developed
the existence Of a twelve-foot vein OF
quartz, many specimens from which were
covered with leaf gold. The Mining
Rerie,D says as soon as the news OF the
discovery was made known q party OF
men hurried TO he scene, and soon the
v mountain was dotted with busy and
excited prospectors armed with picks and
shovels, the result being that the vein was
traced down to what is known as the old
Kennel claim which is distant nearly five
miles from the point Of original discovery.
Several assays have been made from the
vein, the results varying from $500 to
S72.OO per ton. At first glance the ore is
said to look fabulously rich, and although
the assays thus far have not been very
startling, Il is thought an immense de-
post OF rich ore will be uncovered.
