Jurien Lott and Peter Spray dis
covered mine some years ago about
six miles south of 'UnionviIle. They
worked on the lead at intervals, one or
both of them having to work for others
occasionally to earn means to develop
it. AS outside capital would not in
vest IN the property aud assist in its
development. they concluded to do
what they could themselves, and now,
after several years of hard work, they
have the mine in condition to furnish
sufficient ore to run mill. Having
accomplished this feat, they set to
work this fall to get mill, and now
they have fiye.stamp steam mill COM
pleted, aud will probably start up on
Wednesday. AS they have no capital,
save their willing hands aud untiring
energy to draw upon, they will only at
tempt to save what gold there is in the
ore until they extract sufficient bullion
to purchase the necessary machinery for
amalgamating silver ores. They have
a large, well defined lead, open suf1i-
eient to justify them in investing their
last dollar in machinery to work the
ore it produces. and tho gh it carries
good PERCENTAGE of silver, they are
obliged. for the present. to let that
metal escape in the tailings. That
those men deserve success, no one will
dispute. and that they may attain it, is
our earnest hope.

Immediately after New Years. Ten

Boss Tweed's friends are indignant
at the action of Attorney General Fair

to the Boss his so-called confession and

of the city against fraudulent claims
brought by all the old ring men Suits
of this nature to the amount Of 81, 900,

Chu and wife lived with nephew and wife
in house in Tung-hwuy. The uncle was .
dyer and the nephew a tailor; their wives were
congenial, land they all were happy. Last

marry again. In November Mrs. Chu's mother
died and the dyer and his wife were compelled
to 60 to Shaou-peh to attend the funeral and
settle up the estate. AS they did nos wish to

A good deal of nonsense has been put forth
in the newspapers, chiefly outside the state,
about some opposition to Gov. Connor's re-
nomination at the Republican State Conven-
tion OF this year. The presidential count
having been finished, the versatile Journalist
who has been occupying himself through the
winter with depicting scenes of bloodshed
and strife, fratricidal war and CORY conflict,
now seeks for new material to adorn with
bis facile pencil, and is reveling in pic
lures OF combinations, plots and counterplots
in the politics of Maine. He disported him
self largely over the collectorship question
making vastly mysterious and vague affair
out OF what was one of the simplest things in
the world-a transaction so proper and fitting
in all its aspects that everybody readily as
sented to it and Mr.. Reeds recommendation
encountered no opposition.


But now he has found a new roorbach in
Maine-a combination of soreheads TO defeat
Gov. Connor's denomination, which embraces
some of our prominent men who seem half
amused, half disguised at finding their names
quoted IN connection with so absurd an ar
rangement. For the benefit of any who
might be misled by this sort of thing, which
means nothing and is not intended to mean
anything, we will say distinctly that nothing
in the world will prevent Gov. Connor's re-
nomination with general acquiescence and
approval except his own positive refusal to be
candidate. He has been an admirable gov.
ernor, has filed the Office with ability and
dignity, and the usage of the party, as well
as his own high qualities, will give him his
third term, There are several gentlemen,
and very respectable gentlemen too, who

Gov. Chamberlain has again by his wise
and moderate action in South Carolina pro-
voked the admiration of the country and won
new title to its esteem. Foreseeing that
further struggle, whatever its issue, would
imperil the safety and lives of his devoted fol.
lowers, and desiring the restoration of tran.
guilty to the state for which he has already
done so much, he withdraws from the con-
test, sacrificing without scruple the ad-
vancement of his political fortunes to the re-
pose Of his people.


In his letter of withdrawal Gov. Chamber
lain gives the reasons which have determined
his course, and comments with not un-
natural severity upon the policy of the
national administration. While many of his
admirers will regret the bitterness of his
structures they will not wonder at it. Much
will be excused to man who sincerely be-
lieves that he is defrauded of his rights, that
he is deprived by intrigue of that support up
on which he ought to be able with certainty
to count 1t may be easy for us here to take
calm and philosophical view of the conflict
in South Carolina; l. is impossible for those
in the heat of the fight, who are yet smarting
from blows received, yet exulting over blows
given. 1t is certain that all the sacrifices
rendered necessary by the adjustment have
fallen to the lot of Governor Chamberlain.
That appears to have been necessity of the
situation.


But while Republicans admire the heroic
South Carolina governor for the galan /
struggle he has made and regret his defeat
the majority Of them are sincerely desirous
that the Southern policy of the President
shall have fair trial, and believe it a patrI-
otic duty to advance by active sympathy and
support its success. 1t is now about to be
tested in South Carolina. Wade Hampton is
on trial, and his conduct will be closely
watched and severely criticised. The people
will insist that his pledges shall be carried out
to the very letter; and any failure on his
part to do so, any neglect Of the rights of the
colored people of his state will meet with
swift and heavy condemnation.

CAPITATION TAX BEFORE VOTING.


Attorney,General Field, in re-
sponse to questions propounded to
him by gentleman in Leesburg, has
given the opinion that a young man
who has become Of age since the
assessment of the capitatiOn tax of
this year previous to the election at
which he offers to vote, is entitled to
vote without paying the capitation
tax. The capitatiOn tax is required
to be paid before man can vote is
assessed ON those who are twenty
one years of age, for the year before
the election, and as the constitution
designs to disiranChise no one who
complies with its provisions, it does
not prevent n man from voting who
could not be assessed from the time
of coming Of age to the election
hence, those who come Of age after
the assessment Of the year before he
offers to vote, can vote without being
assessed. He also decides that citi-
zens of the State, who are out of the
State when the assessment was made,
aud we're not assessed, must pay the
capitatlon tax before voting, as it
was their duty to be assessed and pny
the tax, when they return to the
State, before offering to vote. Lees
