IT rs now perfectly certain that General
Grant i 9 the weakest man the Radicals could
have selected for the Presidential rare.
They thought he would prove the strongest.
Upon that idea they threw overboard the
civilians in their party and discarded all
their representative men. In this they made
a fatal mistake. They clearly see it.' Were
it not'that they were• so deeply committed to
his support they would abandon him for
some more available Candidate. He has not
a single element of success. His personal
character Inspires no enthusiasm. His name
falls cold and dead alike upon soldier and
civilian. He is distrusted by a portion of the
Radicals of the Wendell Phillips stamp.
The Conservatives dislike him with an in
tensity of hatred equal Jo that which they
feel for Ben Butler and for Stanton. He is
known to be per , onally unfit by his habits
and want of Culture for the Presidential posi•
Lion. Never were men more badly sold than
were the Radicals when, in a moment of de
lusion, they selected this person as their stand
ard bearer. Ile will 1w• Beaten us General
Scott was beaten In 185 4 2—beaten out of

THE IMPEACHHENT TRIAL,
The trial of the President still drags its
weary length along, to the infinite disgust of
both parties—the liatticals because they arc
impatient for the deposition 01 the President,
and the Democrats because they consider the
proceedings a disgraceful faree;'intitvortity
the time and expense that have been wasted
upon them. The speech of Mr. Evarts was
concluded on Friday, having lasted nearly
four days,and was followed by Mr. Stunbery's,
which consumed the remainder of the week.
Both or these arguments nre pronounced to
be efforieuf great ability, and the counsel for
the Presi lent are admitted on all sides to
have presented a favorable contrast to the
House managers. ' The speeches of the lat
ter were carefully prepared betbrethand, and
read by their authors, while those of the
President's side, with the sole exception of
Mr. Stanbery's, whose illness compelled him
to write out his remarks, were delivered ex
temporaneously, and devoted to a direct dis
cussion of the points in the case. On Mon
day, E Mr. Bingham commenced the closing
-argument for the impeachers, which lasted
'until Wednesday noon. It was the only
speech upon that side that was not read
from manuscript, but had previously been
written out and committed to memory.
The Washington correspondents speak
with less confidence of the President's con
viction, and more doubt is beginning to be
felt of the result than at any period during
the trial. The President's friends are repre
sented to be sanguine of his acquittal, while,
on the other hand, the Radicals have as
sumed a crest-fallen tone that does not argue
strongly for their belief in -a verdict -against
the President. Most of them profess to think
there is no question of conviction, but the
threats they are continually throwing out
against Senittort who betray the wishes of
the party, is enough to satisfy us that their
language and judgment do not correspond.
There is little reason to doubt that Messrs.
Fessenden, Grimes, Fowler, Van Winkle and
Henderson will vote for acquittal, and others
are named whose votes are not so certain,
but who are looked upon by the %alit-Ids us
being "weak in the knees." Meantime, bet
ting is going on with perfect fury all over
the country, and, whichever way the mat
ter may be decided, hundreds of thousands
of dollars will change hands.
LATEM—Manager Bingham concluded his
pyrotechnical speech on Wednesday atter
):toon, and a motion was made to tationrn to
Saturday, which was voted down by 29 nays
to 22 -yeas. The case was then stated to be
closed on both sides, anti the &mate went
into secret. session. Motitins to admit re
porters and to allow each Senator who de
sired, to speak fifteen minutes,were defeated,
and soon alter the Senate adjourned. A vote
upon the verdict is not expected this week,
and the general current of the Washington
telegranis indicates an. acquits].
RADICAL TEACHERS OP RANNICRIL
One of the articles of impeacbme i i

with the violation of the proprieties of speech'
• Cleveland, • St. Louis and elsewhere, in
that he repelled the wo.aults made upon him
brthe Radical platy, both in and out of Con
' grass- Mr. Everts, in his argutnent of Thum
, day last, ridiculed -this article to death, anti
by way of u 'finishing stroke, he cited an ex
ample of the proprieties of speech titraistied
by the famous Bingham anti Ruder row in
March, 186 . 12 This famous spat was almost
equalled ny what took, place in the Rouse
last Friday evening (weir the Alta Vela affair,
_and quite,Nualled, ti` nut surpassed, by the
disgraceful exhibition in the same body on
Saturday afternoon between Donnelly, of
Minnesota, and Grant's champion,Washburn,
of Illinois. both being Radicals of the most
rampant son. Lkumelly called iftention to
e letter written by Washburne, of Illinois,
Charging him (Donnelly) with being a swin
dler, and passing under an assumed name.
The letter contained a catalogue of. grave
charges, all of which Donnelly - met and , re
fitted by documentary evidence, which was
read Aim the Clerk's desk. Re then opened
his batteries on Weslibtune, and Bar halt u
hour hie vituperative abuse of Grant's guer
dims was terrific. Re closed by saying that
he did not believe Gen. Grant would degene
rate into a liat4organ to be carried about on
the back of the gentleman from Illinois,with
the Whole Washbarne family on the top of
the machine, grinning and catching pennies
like a troupe of monkeys. Waibbume tirade
noother reply than to reiterate the charges
contained in the letter. The House permit
ted all this to go on,in violation of the rules
established for the preservation of order and
decorum in that body. Friday evening, how
ever, when Mr, Brooks (Dem.) styled some of
Bailer's language "Billingsgate,"
: be was
promptly rettitilded by the impartial (r) /break
er that such a remark was out of order. The
Inajority of thellonse Pidicais'en)uyed

GOLD VS. GREENBACKS.
The interest on, say $2,000,000,000 bonds,
is $120,000,00$ in gold * annually ; at com
pound the interest alone would in twenty
two ream amount to $8, 000 , 000 , 0 0 0 ; in thir
ty-three years the interest will have reached
fourteen-thousand millions of dollars. and in
forty -fotir years the interest 'alone R ill have
attained the climax of thirty- thousand mil
lions of dollars in gold. This is the naked
truth as to what the country will have to
Pay the bOnd-holders in gold. Paying off at
once in "greenbaciteshe bond-holders say,
would be the most disastrous of all modes,
because it would occasion so great a depre
ciation of "greenbacks" from their supera
bundance. Suppose, however, the deprecia
tion should be ninety-nine per cent., the loss
to the country would be just two thousand
millions of "greenbacks," against a loss of
thirty-two thousand millions of gold in the
other process. That we must pay that sum
to WO-holders, if the interest without the
principal studft continue to be paid, is s fixed
fact, and the question to be decided is,
whether we had better get. rid of the whole
question by.one sweep, or, by dallying with
it, continue to Luther' the country_ with a
weight of taxation which increases in severi
ty with every succeeding year.
But, cry out the organs of the present sys
tem,"this is repudiation !" Well, let us see
iris is: Thi . soldier was paid In greenbacks.
The pensioner is paid in the same currency.
Of course, Muter thelogic of the impd-holder,
that constitutes no payment atell. • •We have
been In oroeass of "repudiation," according
zt.ts theory, many years! Yes the soldier
and the pensioner, strange to eay, don't seem
to know it. They thought they were really
paid when they got greenbacks, but the,
bond-holder tells them that it is albs mistake.
If the bond-holders are not paid !when they
get greenbacks, nobody has been paid in
that currency. All will have to come back
npon the Government and the people, and
receive their genuine payment in gold. To
pay a debt in greenhaeks,.is in modern par
lance "repudiation" of the most flagrant
character, anti yet, for the last five or six
year., every one of us who had a creditor has
voluntarily allowed hint to pay us off in this
repudiating way Out on such humbug and
hypocrisy !
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The Congressional plan of reconstruction
has been ratified in Arkansas, North "Caroli
na, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.
In Alabama, the Constitution received nearly
all the votes east, but as the law required
that a. majority of all who hail registered
shoold vote on the quition, it barely failed.
By an act of Congress now pending, which
will sum be passed, it will be re-submitted to
the people, when its ratification will be prob
able. - The test is yet to be made in Virginia,
Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, when the like
result is pretty sure to follow, except, per
haps in the case of Texas. Should any of
these States reject their new Constitutions at
the first trial, Congress will no doubt provide
for the re-submission of the question, and,
should Mr. Wade then 'occupy the Executive
chair, they will must likely be adopted,
through the influence and interference Of the
satraps and party vultures, who will be sent
down to the South for that purpose. In each
of the six States which have voted, the Gov
ernors and Legislatures that have been elect
ed are favorable to the policy of Congress.
A large majority of - the members of the
House of Representatives chosen at these
elections are Radicals, and the composithan
of the Legislatures is such as to insure the
choice of Senators of the same politics. In
fine, the Congressional plan may be regarded
as triumphant in these six States.
In the remaining four States above named,
the ultimate result will probably be of the
same character; so that, ere the occurrence
of the next Presidential election, the ten
States will all be restored to their relations
to the Union, under Constitutions framed by
the negroes and Northern. whites who have
settled in the South. Their votes will be
counted in the electoial college, and proba
bly decide who will be our Chief Magistrate
for the next four years. The Radicals have
no confidence in securing enough Northern
votes to elect their candidate ; hence the zeal
they display in getting the South under their
control, throngh the use of bayonets and ne
gro suffrage. If Gen. Grunt becomes our
next President, it will be by means that
would have created a revolution at any peri
od previous to the war.
WHAT Ova ENERILEs AHE DOING.
It is well for our Democratic friends to
know what their Radical opponents are doing
in the way of organizing for the Presidential
election. Hitting vastnmounts of money at
their disposal, they :ire preparing for the fall
campaign with extraordinary energy and
vigor. They have adopted the system of
canvassing the country long its advance of
the election, and circulars have been ad
dressed to all the faithful, urging them to
promptly go to work making their prepara
tions tin the campaign. Particular attention ;
is called to the advantage of procuring a
classified list of the doubtful voters, so that
they may be supplied with papers and docu
menis, and other means adopted to influence
their votes. The Democrats of the country,
it' they arc wise, will not.he long In learning
a useful lesson from the movements.of their
political opixmetits. tittere rs. if wort at all,
can only be at:cured by thomngh organiza
tion, and harmonious,energetic co-operation,
and the sooner they ore commenced, Ike more
likelihood there is that they will be attended
with a gratifying -result

Haan is the way things go in the South:
When a white man knocks a negro down
for insulting his wife, be is taken before a
military court, and sent to jail. When a ne
gro knocks a white woman down in the
street withoin cause:he is taken before the
same court, and it Idecided that he was
suffering under a fit of temporary insanity,
and he is discharged. For particulars see
telegraph.
Tlignu Is good authority for saying that
Chief-Justice Chase declared, within a few
days,past, that the time bad come mliert all
lovers of Constitutional 'liberty should band
togetherin opposition to theJaeobins.. This
declaration he jade not only once, but sev
eral times. He does nut conceal 'the fact,
but fears the worst, unless the Destruction
ists are arrested in their revolutionary career.

Ix this State &Radical Legislature refused
to allow the polls to be kept open atter 6
o'clock in any election, thus compelling mul
tltudes of honest laboring white men, who
have heretofore voted after their day's Work
wis done, to lose half a day's wages or to
lose their vote. In the South, under the rule
of the Radicals in Congress, the polls are
kept open from three to seventeen days to
allow such negroes as clnxiSe to do so to vote
in half &dozen different districts. That is a
specimen of the political honesty and decen
cy of the leaders of the,Republican partv.
SENATOR HENDRICKS, of Indiana, stated In
Congress, lately, that at present the expense,
annually of each soldier in the army was
$2,000, and nearly $2,000,000 for .each regi
ment; the total coat being about $100,000,000
a year for an army of 60,000 men. He argued
that, with proper management, the army ex
pense could be cut down forty millionis
year. There is very little likelihood, how
ever, of any expenses being cut down, while
Radicalism rules. - • •
AN illustration of the amount of confidence
indulged in Washington in Butler's charac
ter for honor and honesty was offered by the
little episodo which occurred in the hnpeach

fused to trust him with certain papers in Ills
bands unless he would make a public pledge
to return them to their proper custody.
Tun other day, in 1 a debate, Ben. Butler

"Yes," exclaimed Mr. Brooks, "I charged
you with stealing $50,000 in gold from the
citizens of New Orleans, and demanded that
you should be made disgorge, which you bad
to do."
Ax exchange asks: "What are we taxed,
for ?" Well, sir, pretty much as follows:
First, to free the negroes, and make them
your equal. Second; to support negroes In
idleness, and thereby to male them your
superior. Third, to keep an army to, over
awe you, and destroy your liberties. The
above, and about one hundred similar things,
is what you are taxed for.

mines will be as new to the majority of your
readers as it was to me.
THE TVINOVER UTNE
was discovered in 1860. It is situated on the
head waters• of the Mimbres river, about six,
miles east of Fort Bayard. It was worked
With great success for two 3 , ears, when. the
Texans, under Sibley, and the Indians killed
the workmen and broke the machinery.
Since the close of the war the work has not
been resumed, as the capital of the Territory
is limited, and Eastern capitalists know notlt
ittrabOut it. The ore is "virgin" copper;
found In extensive pockets hi the bed rock,
varying in quantities from one to three hun
dred pounds. The amount of gold alloyed
with it has been found sufficient to defray all
the expenses of working. The cost of pro
ducing copper, in pigs of p.wd hundred pounds,
at this mine, was four cents perpoubd. The
ore exists in unlimited quantities, and there
is an abundance of wood and water for work
ing purposes for nanny Years of continued.op
oration. The mine is owned by Messrs.
Hamburg and Cleaver.
SAIITA RITA 'llL'iE
This mine is very old, having been worked
by the Spaniards nearly a century and a half
'ago. The old State prison, the ruins of which
still exist, is near by, so that we have every
reason to suppose that the Spaniards used the
convicts in working the mines. - It is about
seven miles south of the Hanover mine, and
about the saute distance from Fort Bayard.
The ore Is a rich black oxide, and is found
in veins of varying thickness—the lower
ones being virgin copper, which can be drawn
under the hammer as it comes from the mine.
The mine has never been thoroughly exam
ined, but there is every reason to believe it is
an extension of the Hanover mine, The San
ta Rita mines are owned by Gen. Carleton,
Gov. Mitchell and others.
VIE Pl3OB ATOS 111Kg6
are undoubtedly the most extensive copper
deposits in the world. They cover a belt 01
country thirty miles long from northeast to
southwest, by ten miles broad which Gen.
Carleton says in his report "is tilled with rich
veins of copper, gold, silver, lead, iron and
other minerals in combination." Outside,
and adjacent to this tract, there is an abund
ance of mines just as valuable, but that part
-of the country has not been so carefully ex
amined as the section General Carleton de
scribe*. "The whole of this country is well
wooded, and covered with fine pasturage,
and there are several permanent streams of
water upon It. During the rainy season, and
for weeks alter, all the arroyos have water in
them."
ARROYO IIdFDA.
These mines are situated North of Toss,
and close to the-Colorado line. They were
'discovered by Mr. Miller;htll3l2 , but as there
is no capital to ' work them, the discovery Is
like elacing food just beyond the reach of a
starnng man. Specimens of copper from
this mine are now on exhibition here, and
they are fully equal to the beautiful specimen
in the United States Mint, Philailelphia, froth
the famous mines of the "Amygdaloid Com
pauv,.! Lake Superior.
NACIEMENTO COPPER MINE
This deposit of rich copper ore was dis
covered by a band of Mexicans in 1860, and
caused at the time much excitement in the
Territory, so a joint stock company was or
ganized—to 'own the mine. The assay of
this ore is as follows : Copper 71, silver '4,
iron 12, unexamined scoria 13. This mine is
owned, but the joint stock company bag no
capital to work, and as they invested but lit
tle in it, the owners must feel very happy in
their undeveloped wealth. The Naciemento
mine is situated about forty miles South
south-west from Santa Fe, in the Los Valles
Mountains, in the same range as the rich
mineral region of the San Juan, Sandia, and
Placer Mountains. The vein is from thirty
to forty feet wide, and occasionally intersect
ed by deposits of white sandstone.
A town was started near these minu4, but
the Indians broke it up. So the Naciemento
mine. with all its wealth, serves as a look-out
station for "Lo / the poor Indian." ' When
the white man goes to prospect, the Indian
is hunting him.
TrrE OCATE MINES,
being nearer the settlements, are now being
worked, and extensive buildings are in course
of erection by the, proprietors, Messrs. Kro
enig & Moore, of Banta Fe. The Ocate ore
assays 64 per cent, of pure copper. The vein
is from 12 'to 20 feet wide, and as the owners
have plenty of money to continue the work,
thole:Mato mines must prove a great succws,
and a Bourse of immense revenue to the for
tunate proprietors.
TIJEfIA cOPPER MU ES
are incorporated, and owned by Messrs. Dold,
Kiethers & Clever. They are situated in
the Tijera canon, near the line of the thirty
fifth parallel. The surface ore is • alloyed
with silver, but on descending.tbe copper is
lost in the richer ores. The mine has been
worked but little, though there is every rea
son to believe It would pay handsomely if
developed. •
TILE NEW MEXICO MIMING COMPANY
is the most extensive in the Territory, and is
under the able management of Dr. M. D.
Sleek. The enterprises of the company are
not, limited to copper, which they have of
tine quality and in great abundance. I will
therefore defer speaking of the company till
I have prepared my letters on the other min
erals. There are many ether mines L and,
companies, but as a rule there is not suffi
cient energy displayed in working the mines,
And but little effort made to draw here capi

A •prtAWBACK
The great wealth and power of our nation
is to be attributed to our large number of in
telligent small landholders, and Colorado's
success is in part due to the fact that the
-United States homestead and pre-emption
laws are well carried out. Here it would be
Impossible to do so. Unfortunately a great

immense popularity of that celebrated reme
