About the Black Hills.
Reports from the B!aok Hills from
various quartern in regard to the value
of their gold pin cos, continue to be
somewhat contradictory, but the weight
ot testimony discourages expectations
that tbey will ever yield considerable
quantities of precious metals. The gov
erouiet geologist reports a general diffu
sion of small quantities of gold over u
largo area, but be states that he has
seen nothing to warrant extensive min
ing operations. At one of the Camps
many of the soldiers and team-masters
endeavored to test the richness of the
soil, "but as no ono obtaiucd, evcu by
several hours hard labor, more than o
few cents worth of gold dust, noue of
the command were afterward seen work
ing for the precious metal.' Such ex
perience quickly disgust the most en
thusiastic prospectors. Our couutry
abouuds with abandoned mining dis
tricts where by hard and patient lubcr a
suiall pittance may be earned each day;
but in California such places rue never
worked except by Cliiuamco, and they
have nothing to attract nu aver.ige
American citizen. The r.port that
none of the soldiers or teamsters ''who
accompanied the expedition have shown
a disposition to desert affords another
r-trong indication that no rich gold dig
gings have been discovered. When
good chances for sudden fortune arc
presented the desire to improve them
usually becomes stronger than attach
ment to a military command. When
the gold fever prevailed on the Pacific
coast it was impossible to keep soldiers
nt their post or sailors iu their ships.
The prevailing excitement and the ex
pedition now iu the fijld may possibly
lead to the discovery of a productive
new gold district, in a portion of the
national doiuam not very distant from
the Black Hills, explored lat year by
Caster, but they are not likely to furn
ihh much employment for the American
nation. Storks' Philadelphia It. Ji

An ImportaniLcgjl'i.e5lsioa.
At the last term of court, held in
this county, a decision was reudered by
his Honor Judge Williams, that is of
great importance to the owners of un
beated lands, lumbermen ond purchasers
of land at tax sales. In the case of
Mersereau vs Hanis, et. al. the plain
tiff purchased at the Ju.io (as ssiles in
187-1 two tracts of laud belouius; to
the defendants for which he received
a deed from the County Treasurer
Lost winter the defeudauts without re
deeming the lands let the job of taking
off the pine timber, and had takcu off
about two million feet, when the plain
tiff applied by bill for an injuntion to
restrain the defendants from nutting
until they should redeem tho lands.
Judge Williams at chambers grauted a
rule returnable at court, to show cause
why uu iujuuctioa should not issue.
Upon hearing the argum?ut he refused
to grant the injunction; and on motion
dismissed the bill.
The Judgo hold that .he purchaser
at tax sale took no title. That the
owner of the land at the time of the tax
sale retained the legal title, with all tho
rights of ownership. That he could
cut and remove tho timber, or any
thing else that might be on or a part of
the land the same as though tho land
had not been sold for taxes. That the
purchaser had no right under his tax
deeds until the expiration of the term
for redemption; and no remedy iu law
or equity, although the owuer might
remove ull the titular and everything
else of value on, tho land before the
'wo years expired, and thus, if tho knd
was of no value except for timber, com
pel tho unlucky purchaser at tax sale
to lose the money he had paid the
County Treasurer for the lands.
This ruling was a great surprise to
tho legal profession, as the opposite
view of the question had prevailed gen
erally among attorneys, and on ac
count of the acknowledged leual ability
of Judgo Williams tho decision is the
most important ever rendered in this
county. Without some legislation to
protect purchasers it will not hereafter
be safe for any one to bid off lund at
treasurer's sales, ns before the time for
- redemption expires the owner may strip
the land of a'l its value, and leave the
unlucky purchaser with nothing but his
treasurers' deed, ond an empty purse to
remind him of bis investmeut. This of
course is a great and rerious defect iu
the tax lawn, and unless remedied will
make it difficult, if not impossible, to
collect the taxes on a large portion of
the unseated lands, as a larger portioo
are valuable only for the timber there
is on them and with tho timber re
moved they are not worth the taxe3.

From Forney's Press.
Whit Is a Fair Day's 77sces.
This is one of the questions which
sensible men find difficult to answer.
But there are no difficulties in tho
fioieuce of social and industrial relutions
which in tho least trouble a certain
school of ecomomists, and o' course
Dot the simple question with which we
head tlicso lines, the JNcw lork hx-
press Bays with tho endorsement of the
Observer, thnt a fair day s wages is the
bust money for which it is possiblo to
got a day's work done. Of courso, we
comprehend tho silly liyDothesia upon
whicji this and all similar economical
reasouing is based, but it is really too
transparently absurb to veil tho hard
and reckless spirit that actually prompts
such an assertion, If the adjustments
of supply and demand were instant, per-
leet, and without motion, that is il
everywhero and at all times both labor
and capital were in the most profitable
and productive relations possible, then
the market price ot both would be their
fair value. But thcro is no ono fact so
deeply impressed on the minds of both
capitalists and laborers as that these
.lenltlilul relations are never fully
realized.
Panics depressions, and groat modifi
cations ol industrial processes entirely
derange them. The economists ol
whom wo speak ohisct absolutely on
considerations of humanity, or even
I'uiruRjs, in tho popular sense entering
into tho estimates or business relations.
They defino a fair day's wages as the
least for which a day's work cau be
purchased entirely without reference
to the prolits made out of it or to ie
necessities which compel the laborer to
take the offered pay. A starving man
wiuht be glad to purchase a ciust with
a day's valuable toil, and such a reward
would be a fair day's wages. Tho word
(air here has no moaning whioh people
who sneak only Euli8h understand
But what is a fair day's wages? Has
the market price of labor nothing to d
with its determination, and can it be
fixed only by an arbitrament of equity?
Upon whut priuciplo would our arbiter
proceed? What profit would he ad
judge to capital, nud if there were i
loss, how wou'd it be distributed? Hiv
inanity seems to require that the lifj of
the laborer be sustained at all hazsird,
and if alter his support there is a loss
that it should be borne by capital. But
what sort of a support shall the laborer
have and if there is a proht, how much
should his coudition be improved? It is
plaiu to see that these are questions
which do not admit of plain answers,
and in their waot ol quantitative ele
ments lies the insuperable difficulty of o
deauitc sef.itmcut ol the labor ques
tion.
It is from the contemplation of this
difficulty that one class ventures to as
seat the monstrous doctrine that uoeu
mulated wealth has no obligations what
ever to iiving labor, except such as i
makes by con ti act and another class
with this identical logic but less in
humanity, asserts that living labor owes
nothing to accumulated wealth. While
tho question of what constitutes a fair
day's wa;es is theoretically iusolvable
iu our sjstem ot competitive industry
and divided labor and capital there are
some considerations which ought to
assist its practical determination. Dur
ing a stagnation of business it is bad
policy to crowd tho elu&ses whose entire
wages are expended on articles for iin
mediate consumption nothing so raucl
tends to intensify the dulncss of trade
It is u eh. of diffisulty in cur system ol
business that people cannot begin
eueral economy in prospect of hard
times without certainly precipitating
jiii't tho evil they would avoid. Tf you
do not buy of me I cannot of you, and
porduction ceases with the fuiluic of
the market. Another consideration
that salaries ought to be as subject to
the market as w:ges, and should be re
auceu in case ot nteu pciore tne smaller
incomes a ro touched. In the cud, ail
men who work must take what thev
can get, and there is no just grounds
lor a distinction Lctwceii wages and sal
aries to the advantage of the latter. All
consideration of souud economy as well
as humanity demand that a discrimina
tion should at least cot be against the
poorer and more numerous class. To iu
sist on paying all loborers only what
the most needy is willing to take is as
poor economy iu the Pa-press as it is

crowded condition of tho saloons to pass
bogus quarter eagles. Tbey disposed
of ten before arousing suspicion, and
when a local officer apprehended Sebas
tiano only one piece was found in his
possession. An operative of the secret
service, after a dilligent search discov
ered Buazzi asleep at 4 o'clock in the
morning under a treo. A search of his
pockets brought to light fifteen base
quarter eagles The prisoners were taken
to Marysville, near which town the
manufactory was located. It was u one

a slough which runs into tho Feather
river and close to a dense swamp. In
'his house were found fifty unfinished
quarter eagles just as they had left the
moulds, a quantity of used, and unused
