Public opinion is still excited over the contemplated prosocution of tho Louisiana Returning board. The Now York Ikerakl publishes the fol lowing views expressed by a nuns ber of the loading citizens Governor Nicholls, upon being imterviewed, replied that ho did not wish to reopen the subject, but inti, mated that, he would act witnout regard to political considerations, and that he would adhore to his original determination, which was to pardon thorn if they should be convicted. As to the inquiry whether lie thought the LogislatrQ had made any bargain, ho replied that ho know of none directly, but that the joint resolution passed, which said, "We will discountenance any at tempted persecution for past political acts," might be so con strued. Attorney General Ogden said he know of no bargain ever having been made, and that as the pro cuting officer he would prosecute theme if indicted; that he had no~ thing to do with their political acts, but if they were charged with any criminal offence they should be prosecuted and punished. General Fred. Ogden, of the White League, said they ought to be punished, not politically, but because they violated the law. le thought the people of the State demanded it, and that it should be done. Ex-Governor Wickliffo, who hae just arrived from the country, said the news created the greatest excite mont ; that every one demanded that the Returning Board should be punished ; that, if necessary, money would be raised to induce Judge Black to help prosoonito them, and that Governor Nicholls would not dare stand in the way, and that if he did lie would sufTer. Governor Wickliffe is an old time Bourbon Democrat, but has considerable in fuonco in Middle Louisiana. Major E. A. Burke said that the indictment was unwise and inexpe dient ; that it will be construed by the North as a violation of assurances given by the I og islature. It will strengthen the enemies of the President, who are likewise the enemies of Louisiana. The State and people absolutely require repose from po litical strife, and are casting about to robuild their impaired industries, To plunge now into national politi cal issues would be to saorifice material intorosts and to strengthen the Radical Blaine element and open the door again for military inter forence in Louisiana. Ex-President John Phelps, of the Cotton Exchango, thought it was unfortunate at this time ; that he know Wells and Anderson were trying to sell out to the highest bid der at the time of the count, and that ho personally thought they should be punished, as they deserve the Penitentiary, but he thought it bad policy at this time to stir up G. Townsend, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Brokers, thiought the indictrment would injure businees and wvas ill advised ; that personally they should bo punished, but as Hayes had done all for us we should keep what might be considered the spirit of the compromise which was made with the commission. Governor 1Mcjnery said he thought the memblers should lhave been hanged four years ago, but that it was unfortunate they should have been indicted now. Congressman John Ellis said he regretted the indictments had been found, because it would be hard to separate the political from the criminal offence;i but that as thpy had been found it -was necessary that they should be tried, becausa if this was not done t1he .irmpresaMion would be .they had bpomg wrongly ,ndicted, Gover'nor Penp, upon being a p proached, said that lie thought the mere indictment of the men thoin, selves was of sio importance, but that it was a grave mistake as it stood. The State was now at peace and could notaffor4 to open any old wounds ; and that this would tend to create dissatisfaction, and ho was therefore sorry it had been done. Indeed, he thought the conservativo portion of the community ppposed it. A further trimming of the Presi-" dent's order permits members of the National Rtepublican Committee to hold office, on the ground that they will have no duty to nerform Address of the Executlye commiog State Agricultural Society, CoLuMmA, S. 0., July 12, 1877. The Erocutivo Committoo of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society would respoctfully call the attention of its members and the people generally to the meetings to bo hold at Anderson Court House on the 8th of August next, and ur-, gently request a full attendanco. The object of the moeting is to re, organir,o tho Society, infiso now life into it and to give it an impotus which will strt it on its now career with a force and1 spirit comonsu rate with the groat workit is doaign, ed to accomplis1, Thisi great work is tho restoration of the agricultural intorost of the State, the source of its wealth and the basis of its strength, to its form er promienco-a prominence wyhiclh has been lost by its having been forced to bear the brunt of the op pressivq taxation iunposed by an unjust, tyrannioal and hostile governmuent, the domoralization of labor incident to the omancipation of the slave, and his consequent ex posure to the influenco of the low demagogue ; aind until rpcoitly, by the utter hopolossnose of deliver. ance from thes9 deep seatqd evils, for at least nany years to come ; a hopelessiless that paralyzed the energies of the people and made them almost as poor in spirit as they are in purso. But the recent political revolution has chango4 all this. The hopes of the peoplo hayp reviyed ; they have been relieved from oppressive and unjust taxation, and the low doma gogue has boon taught that South Carolina is no longer a field for lhis pl)era tions. Farmers and Mechanics I the time and the p)lace ro auspicious. With the prestige of political success wo met at old Aiiderson, whseo bitgle blasts first sununoned the hosts un der the banner of 1jomo Rlo and Reform, aind gayp an impetus to that g.cat mQvoment which resultpd in a victory unparallplp4 i the history of any people. Let us meet, then, upon this classic spot, and inaugurate a move, mont in the intorost of AgriculturQ which inust achieve a like succes. WILLIAM WALLACE, Chairman Executive Committe, State A. and M. Society. q1ld Mipe on a Ro. Just twenty-flye y'ears ago, when Mr. Eckieldt was 4sayer of thQ United States lMint in Philadelphia, ho submnitted the dust upon the roof of the building to an assay. The startling result of the curious ex periment was that ho obtained one ounce of standard gold frorm throe and eight.tentlhs ounces of dirt. Sono of the gold obtained in thiq singular manner is now exhibited as a curiosity in the offloo of the Assayer. A few weeks ago Director Pollock ordered the gold mine on the roof to be worked again. With some difficulty this was done in a proper manner and the dirt, dust and deposits of a quarter of a con tury, to the amount of 1,732 pounds, were removed. This has just been tested in the usual way and has yielded 49 ounces of standard gold, and 96{- ounces of standard silver, the total value of both being about $850. On the whole thpo roof of the mint may be said to contain "pay dirt."' The roofing of the building is made of asphalt, and as it softens in the aun the little panrtices of metal come upward in the smoke from the furnaces and carried out of the wvndows below by the wind are lodged on the roof, wvhero they be come embedded and remsin untj extraeted by thp assaying prpep. FByory woeal the floors of the Mint are carefully swept, an4 the accunnlations preservsd. Once a year, prior to the settlomest of accounts, the woodwork of the refining room and the leather gloves of the worlimen are burned to ashes, This, together wit4~ the year's sweopings, is conveye4 to ftho sweep oollar', whoe it is ground in a mill tnd sifted anid washed in a machine, the pulverized metal being canght up by. mercury. The residue is thep dried, barrelled and samgpled and sold .to sweep smelters, who buyv it for from fifteen to tweiby,~ 1,ve cents a pound, according to the armount of precious metals contains4 in the earnp les, So far this year' about 260 barrels have been sold,' 4 large proportion of which was pr-, chased by a London firm. What difference i0 there betw'een a loafer in a first clabs printidg ogige and a barn dioor ? One is 4 barn door aknd the other a darn hoQre.
