ing the cost Of the Abolition party to the
country. 1t remarks that in times past,
when the Government was administered by
Presidents Adams, Jackson, Van Buren,,
Harrison, Poll, Taylor, Pierce and Buchanan
the expenses of the nation were canvassed
with great care and deliberation, and limited
to the smallest sum possible. But it is rel
markable fact that since the advent to power
of the Republican party the word economy
has become obsolete. We never hear from
the Republicans the objection which Clay
and Webster, and their compeers used to
urge with such eloquence that this or that
bill should not be passed because it unneces,
sarily increased the expenses of the Govern.
ment and the burthens Of taxation on the
people. In those days public men often
counted the cost to the people Of the meas
ures they proposed and more than one man
was shipwrecked because he was reckless and
extravagant with the public money. But


the times have sadly changed. We never
hear the question Of how much it will cost
started by any one belonging to the domi-
nant party. The thousand and one schemes
against the Treasury are received with favor,
and millions upon millions are appropriated
without single thought Of how the money
is TO be raised. or how many must suffer for
the actual necessares of life, because the
Treasury Of the United States must be filed
TO meet the expenses Of government.

It is stated that the New York
free pass bill is already null with
many of the roads. Passes are Is
sued to favorites as heretofore, but
they are given as communication
tickets, the recipient paying a small
sum. The Troy Whig hears of a
case already in which a railroad
issued commutation ticket for a
wear for the moderate sum of ten
cents. The principal effect of the
bill is to cut off the chronic dead
heads whom the roads do not
wish to carry.

Hopp was recently tried in Chica-

his wife. He was acquitted on the
plea of insanity. A motion was
made to hold him in confinement

that cause of mental disturbance,

At the solicitation of numerous friends, in different parts of the State, who have assured me of the most encouraging prospects of suc- cess, l announce myself as candidate for the office of fSTATElAUDITOR OF PUBLIC AC- COUNTS.

But honestly and sincerely abiding the issues of the war, now claim to be true and loyal subject of the government under which 1 live and ever expect to remain such.

 l am in favor of ageneral amnesty, not only with respect to political offences but also, and more particularly in regard to our own domestic party strifes and feuds. Having no personally political or partizan purposes to serve or subserve, I am willing to forget the past, and looking only to the future, win heartily cooperate with all good men, in hon. est faithful endeayors, to promote the growth, happiness and prosperity, of our dear old State.

 It being entirely beyond my power to per sonally canvass the largerpo of the State, l shall rely mainly upon the assistance of a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances I throughout the State to present my claims to the consideration of the people, trusting that they, and specially those who were my com rades and fellow-saifefers iii the lafe war, will give mo a generous, Hberaf al2d. hearty support.

SouTH FoRK-We are informed that an
English company at San Francisco are nego-
tating for one of the organized locations in
this district. 1t seems that some second
class rock from claim had heen sent to the
Bay that the company in question got hold
of it. tested it, and proved its value to be
1885 to the tun, and announced that if one
thousand pounds of such rock could be sent
them, they would take the claim at SlO0, 900,
and that the proposition has been accepted
and the rock sent forward. This may or
may not be true so far as the bargain is con-
cerned, but we know the rock has gone
down to the amount of half tun or
over, aud of quality that will prove better
than any previously sent.


Every day new locations are being made
in the district, and old locations being proven
to slight extent, with most astonishing re.
suits. A peculiar feature of the district is
that we'll defined leads are struck by going

BUNKER HILL.-On Tuesday last we visit

extensive and well done; yet it seems to Us
that it has not been done judiciously' The
gold obtained is fine as -four. and is found
imbedded in soft slate, in thin strata of de
composed quartz. There are places in the
mine where from $500 to $4,000 have been
taken out in from one to twenty-four hours
time The trouble is, though, that when one
Of these rich deposits Of free gold is worked
then all is barren until another ''pocket" is
found. These deposits are found in STRAIT.
um of soft slate, about twenty five feet wide,
bound in granite walls, the lead pitching to
the west. We are fully convinced, from a
cursory examination, that the company would
reap rich return by milling all the slate
rock in the lode. 1t is so soft that large
quantities could be put through, and there
must necessarily be more or less of gold run
ming through it. A tun could be taken to
the Spring Creek mill and tried, at trifins
cost, and for the credit of our district we
would like to see it tried. The same lead has
been struck in two or three other places, and
If the milling process should prove to be a
success, the fortunes Of all interested are
made certain.
