There a^e'now in this eitj three men who
have re&htlj crossed and reeroased the
famous Death Valley of Southern Oali-
fomia, and who hare succeeded in solv
ing a mine of mystery which has baffled
the most daring and skillful prospectors
for many years. 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.

Sitting on the broad piaisa of the hotel
here, away from the promenaders, I lis
tened last night to a passionate, earnest
justification of kukluxism in Loniriana
and other Southern States. 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

The men had two wagons, each drawn
by two horses, and in these vehicles they

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.

It has already been announced in the
that the labor campaign in New
opened Thursday evening
by the adoption of a platform and the
nomination of Mr. Henry George for
mayor. 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
