The Ounsight placers were located in ’49, bat afterward lost, and though repeated attempts have been made to find'fhem, most of the men en gaged in the effort have perished. About sixweeka ago when A. T. Jud- son, A.

WHAT THB for meet death in its moat horrible form that this one was regarded as es pecially fool-hardy. About a week ago the three men re- tamed. They came in by rail, ragged, emaciated ana feeble, and one of them, Garter, sick abed. But all were enthn riasbo over their achievements, and each had in his pockefs nuggets to prove his assertion that the Ounsight mine been found. The story of their trip would be incredible were they not here as living witnemrs to its truth, their bodies bearing all too plainly the proofs of the sufferings which they have under gone. Knowing that the discoverers of the Ounsight mines crossed the Death Val- & , these adventurers sought, if poaai- , to make the mme trail. Once through the Moiave desert, they soon _ te to the dazzling white sandy plain men in the Booth were disarmed, and it no life can exist Almost at the was penal oflbnae for them to have fire- flrst step they were prostrated by the arms in their homes. The negroes, how- fleroe heat from above and below.

The story of wrong and outrages, the violation, ruthless and rough, of all that men hold most dear and sacred, aa it came pouring in burning words from the lips of one of New Orleans’ most eloquent divines, was in striking contrast to the perfect peace that wrapped the valley in deep silence. The moon was shining with a brilliancy seen only in Southern climes, and the clearly defined mountains were patched with alternate light and shadow aa the clouds drifted by. The conversation had drifted on Southern topics, and as the preacher, whoee faith is a firm belief in the fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man, warmed with his subject bis physical ills for the time were for gotten, and the mentality that has stirred many a congregation with its fire burned and glowed hie molten iron. “Was knkluxiam justifiable?” he aid, in answer to a question. “Tea, sir, and if the doc trine that “the end justifies the means’ was ever correct, it was daring the reign of terrorism in the Southern ntetes whan kukluxism was rampant. Remember, air, that at the close of the war and dur ing the Reconstruction period the white oisanm to rip open their shoes, and the goggles which they had prepared were bat feeble protection for their eyee. The men had two wagons, each drawn by two horses, and in these vehicles they earned water in barrels and other sup- phes. After an hour or two of the most painful locomotion, the beat besoming more intolerable at every step, the party paused a few minutes for rest ana re- .

I went out to the President’s cottage on the Tennallytown road this afternoon to leant the exact condition of the novel reridCbee of the chief executive of the United States and his bride. It is novel because no Prorident baa yet porobaaed a house and taken np a residence at bis own individual expense outside of the Executive Mansion, when expenses are paid out of the public purse. President Grant and. President Hayi s lived for weeks and months in summer at the Soldier’s Home, but they lived at the expense of the soldiers of the regular army, out of whoee pay is deducted twelve cents a month each for the main tenance of the house. The meat they consumed was furnished by the private soldiers, the milk they drank, the new- laid eggs they ate, the garden truck that whetted the royal appetites, the very flowers that were placed at the plates of the distinguished guests were produced by the aged and decrepit soldiers, or were paid for from the slender pureea of the men of the armv. ' It was left for a Democratic President to purchase a private residence in the suborbe of the national capital out of his •wn purse, where he might live with his wife as any other American gentleman might, at nis own expense and pay for the roof that shelters his private guests and for the food and drink wherewith he entertains them. The residence and its improvements will coat Mr. Cleveland in the neighborhood of $60,000, and to keep it up with the expenses incidental to the position of its*owner not less than $10,- 000 and probably $16,000 to $20,000 a year. President Hayes went out of office with $100,000 or more,' or a saving of half his salary. President Cleveland will not save any money out of his Presi dential salary. Ha evidently believes that salary was given by the government to enable the President to live like a gentleman and pay his bills, and the cost of entertaining mob guests as are worthy of the honor. His purchase on the heights above Georgetown includes twenty-two and one-ball acres of land. There was an old square stone house of the cold, old-fashioned ty^e on this plot of ground.

On every hand they beheld the whitened skeletons of men, of horses and of burros. In some places they found the remains of what appeted to have been an expedition—ntintd vehicles, with the skeletons of horses and men lying about. Vultures swooped down upon them with angry cries, and other birds of prey circled high above their heads, following them aa tb*j progressed. When night came they followed the north star, one man trying to sleep while the others drove. At daybreak there waa nothing to relieve the eye. All around them waa the gleaming sand; overhead the brassy sky, and far away tbe rooky tides of mountains on which no vegetable life ever found. that in of the anal range of the Amargoaas, ereDoui Wearily they pressed on, confident t the worst waa over, but when almost bring swept expdhd to a i gave Birth to but gro heroic away, and our dear fate worse than death, that gave kuklmtim.

In many instances that was the only legacy they had to give, for all rise a glunpae of the manion from the vulgar eye. To the southeast lies the capital city, the mat white dome of the lagia- lative halls arising above the horizon of gresa. aad the sharp outline s of the Washington Monumt-b t api «an ug against the blue sky. Only a slight dip of the great city is exposed between a bird’a- 2 e view down the wooded gorge. To* y, under the fierce heat of the sun of expiring summer, the white dome is whiter, the monument oatlines are sharper, and the green ia a greener green. The old stone house has been metamorphosed into an artistic residence of the colonial style, the very grounds have changed, the roads and drives ap pear where none were before; nothing save the prospect remains, and that no art can beautify and no money can make more lovely and picturesque. A myriad of workmen are busily engaged on house and grounds.

Over 400 delegates were present, representing, it is claimed, 6,000 organ ized men. The following ia the platform, which was adopted with great unanimi ty: THX PLATFOBM. The delegates of the trade and labor organizations of the citv of New York, in conference assembled, make this declaration: Holding that the oorraptions of this government and the impoverishment of labor result irom neglect of the self- evident truths proclaimed by the found ers of this republic, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights, we aim at the abolition of the system which compels men to pay their fellow crea tures for the nae of God’s gifts to all, and permits monopolizers to deprive labor of natural opportunities for em ployment, thus filling the land with tramps and paupers and bringing about an unnatural competition, which tends to reduce wages to starvation rates and to make the wealth producer the indus trial slave of those who grow rici< by his toil Holding, moreover, that the advan tages arising from social growth and im provement belong to society at large, we aim at the abolition of the system which makes such beneficent inventions as rail road and telegraph a means for the op pression of the people and the aggran dizement of an aristocracy of wealth aad power. We declare the tree purposes of government to be the maintenance of that sacred right of property which gives to every one opportunity to employ his labor and security that he shall enjoy its fruits; to prevent the strong from op- aad the unscrupulous honest, and to do, for I equal benefit of all, such things as can be bettor done by organized society than by individuals; and we aim at the abolition of all laws which give to any clam of citizens advantages, either judi cial, financial, industrialor political, ' are not equally shared by all other YIMH DtlBL. j TRB FLYMaCTM Hi is Hay Msrry LMs ss Iks ft) Bast 1 gen- A Rsllsver Is ili# Cs4» Hte Ss Iks OnellQ w It Was.
