- WILLaARD ICHARDSON,
Teli Returning Board.
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.
