toned in the remarks. He would therefore

by the Council, and would only add that the

IT DOES not require supernatural

IT DOES not require supernatural
powers to look into the future. Com
ing events cast their shadows before,
and the possession of common sense
and knowledge of history and human
nature is all that is requisite to make
as true prophet as any reasonable
man would like to be, and the farther
off, and the less interested, the truer he
will be. Mr.. Herbert Spencer of Eng
land has each and all the requisites re-
ferred to in an eminent degree, and
therefore mis- prophecy, which cores
ponds with that of wise people at home,
is food for anything else that happy
thoughts. He says the impending fate
of this country is plain, and that it will
comprise "civil war, immense blood
shed and eventually military despot-
ism of the severest type" The events
of the recent past, the condition of the
present, and the mutterings of the fu-
ture all indicate the approach of the
evil days which Mr.. Spencer sees with
his minds eye. The North has already
suffered for the outrages it has perpe-
trated upon the South, but the retribu-
ton has only commenced.

THE Governors strategy" in the

in apparent security. The strategy
was displayed by marching three com
panies of soldiers ten miles in the dead
of night, deploying them at dawn
around the unguarded and sleeping
camp, and hurrying the unarmed,
drowsy and unresjsting tramps to a
bridge, over which they could cross the

No WONDER Chicago is genial cline
for mobs, when its Mayor and the Gov
ernor and Attorney-G General Of the
State in which it is, are their promoters
and defenders. The Governor pardon
cd the Haymarket bomb throwers, and
opposed the calling out of the Q. s.
troops to suppress the recent riot, and
the Mayor, during the hight OF that
riot, didn't even know it was in prog
ress, and intimates that its damages
wont amount to much; and now the At
torney General of Illinois has instituted
proceedings to revoke the charter of
the Pullman Company, because it
chooses to conduct its own business in
its own way. The impending ruin of
this country is due to the failure of its
officers to execute its laws. But it
could not be otherwise when those Off
GERS are elective, and when suffrage is
unrestricted.

A GREAT WHEAT CRoP.-A Mime
sofa editor who has made an extensive
tour through the northwest estimates
that the spring wheat crop in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas will be the sec
ond largest which the three States
have produced. He figures the wheat
yield OF the States at 10000, 600 bush
els. of which 100000 bushels each is
given to Minnesota and North Dakota,
and the remainder to South Dakota,
on account of the drought. The other
two States have apparently not been
sufferers from the drought, except as
to corn. The wheat crop of these three
States last year was 10000, 900 bush
els, against II, 100000 bushels estlmat-
ed by the government. Average acre
age yields of 90 to 40 bushels of wheat
are coming in from Minnesota and
North Dakota.

cided to rccede from the Senate amend
ment and agree to an amendment pro
viding for the purchase of additional
ground adjoining the present site and
the extension of the present printing
Office. The House agreed to q confer

vorably to the Senate earlier in the SEES

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. -.
SENATE.

Senators were at the Capitol early
this morning, awaiting news OF the ac-
ton of the House democratic caucus.
Before the opening prayer most OF the
Senators were on the floor discussing
with each other the decisive action OF
the caucus. Mr.. Chandler, in greeting
AIR. Cockrell, made q remark in tone
OF derision as to the House swallow
ing the whole thing" but Mr.. Cockrell
only smiled and looked as if he had no
fault to find with that voracious per-
Torrance.
All the leaders on the democratic
side were present-Gorman, Gray,
Brice, Vest, Mills, Villas and others. So
were Mr.. Hill, of New York, and Mi.
Blanchard, of Louisiana, both of them
looking particularly happy. The gen.
eral feeling, however, seemed to be one
of intense relief, bordering even ON jul
bilation.
The reading of Saturdays journal
was dispensed with, and the conference
report on the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill was presented and read.
There was some half dozen points OF
disagreement, but as 10 all the remain
ing amendments of the Senate, the con-
ference committee had arranged them,
and the report to that extent was
agreed to.
Mr.. Sherman moved that the Senate
recede from one of the amendments
still in dispute-that for the purchase
of the Malone lot as site for the gov
ernment printing office.
Action upon the motion was deferred
in order to allow Mr.. Gray to make a
motion that the Senate proceed to eX-
ecutive business.
That motion was made and agreed
to. and the Senate went into executive
session 0he Chinese treaty being the
principal matter to be dispased of.
When the doors were reopened the
morning business was proceeded with.
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Blackburn and referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses instructing
the committee on rules TO sit during
The recess ami report what revision oil
the rules OF the Senate should be had,
and also 10 report code of joint rules.
a bill was passed TO authorize the
commissioners OF the District of Column
ba to appoint deputy coroner.
Bills to regulate the admission of at
torneys and solicitors to practice in
United States Courts; and to require
prompt prosecution and speedy deter
mination Of the claim of the United
States against the estate of the late
Leland Stanford were reported by Mr.
Hill, from the Judiciary committee, and
were placed on the calendar.
at tho request of Mr.. Chandler his
resolution as to the Alabama election
went over I'LL tomorrow, Mr.. Morgan
not having yet reached the city.
The conference report on the sundry
evil appropriation bill was again taken
up and Mr.. Sherman's motion to recede
rom the Senate amendment for the
purchase OF the Malone lot as site
Tor the government printing Office was
laid before the Senate.
A motion to agree to the House
amendment substituting the present
printing office site for the Malone lot
was made by Mr.. Lindsay and was re-
jected-yeas %, nays IS.
The Senate then On motion Of Mr..
Aldrich receded from the Senate
amendment for the Malone lot, thus
taking the whole question out of the
bill. The vote was 26 to 10.

WONDERFUL GOLD DISCOVERIES
Stories of wonderful gold discoveries in
Western Australia are confirmed by an
official dispatch. Details of the principal
find, II miles from Coolgardie, have
reached London. A party of six, re-
turning from an unsuccessful prospect
ing tour on May S, when camped one
night, separated to test and examine
the vicinity.
A man uamed Mills came to one of
the many large blocks which are char
acteristic of the country. He was as
tonished on rubbing his hand across a
protruding piece of stone to see gold
standing out prominently. He knock
ed large piece off the boulder, and at
his feet lay magnificent specimen
literally studded with coarse gold,
while before him, dazzling his eyes,
was magnificent reef of almost pure
gold.
Mills, taking several pieces from the
reef, placed them in his bosom, and,
carefully covering the reef with earth,
found his mates the next morning.
twenty-five acres were pegged of, and
adjoining blocks at each end were also
taken up. One went to town and
bought dolly, the largest he could
procure, and in one day they dollied
1000 ounces, and in short time had
nearly 100000 worth.
On June % they packed it in a cart
and landed their treasure in the Union
Bank. The managers weighed it, and
turned the scales at 1880 ounces. a
few days after the discovery became
public one lump was taken from the
reef containing more gold than ore. 1t
weighed 24O pounds, and was worth
$4,000. OF course, there was immense
excitement in the region, and many
other discoveries have been reported,
but there is unlikely tc be anything left
for late corners.
