purpase of paying it, we are compelled
to denounce such uncalled for and extrav
agant appropriations of the public funds,
as dishonest, and a flagrant outrage upon
Justice and decency.

IX THE DKATil STRUGGLE.
By a telegram, which appears in to
day's paper, it will be seen that Papa
Grant is going to Pennsylvania to save
from destruction, if possible, his political
friends in that State ; and, if he cannot
save them, to soothe them in their dying
agony. From present indications, that
State will assuredly go Democratic, not
withstan Jing the August presence of his
imperial majesty, General Grant, and he
will have to perform the mournful duty
of soothing his expiring partizans. We
have no doubt that his Republican parti
zans feel exceedingly hnppin having a
President, and in that President, a politi
cal Papa who will willingly neglect his
official duties for the purpose of elec-
uoneerning, ana assisting in carrying otatc,
District and County elections for his party
friends. Yet, such actions, on the part of
the Chief Executive, manifests a weakness

5th. If it is not the intention of the Re

the Chinese for parlizan purposee, why
do the Radical Press and Party espouse
the cause of the Chinamen with such
warmth, and become their champions
when they are assailed politically,!- other

6th. If the Radical leaders do not intend
to enfranchise the Chinese and use them
for the benefit of that party, why does the
Republican press denounce white labor

The following singular phenomenon
is related by a Nashville paper : A young

daguerreotyped itself upon her pin at the

About 200 membars of the min

Tlic Oregon Trcuty.
The commissioners under the
treaty between the United Slates
and Great Ibittain, of July, lSG'l,
for the settlement of the claims aris
sing out of the Oregon treaty, have
been in session for some time in
Washington, deliberating on the
claims presented to them, which,
claims, it is to be noted, amount to
the sum of 4,308,702 in gold, for
the Hudson Uay Company, and $1,
108,000 in xold for the 1'uo-et
Sound Company. They have pro
nounced awards in favor of the
Hudson liay Company of .$450,000,
and of the Puet Sound Company
of $200,000. The Hon. A. S. John
son commissioner on the part of the
United States, read an elaborate
opinion in support of his views, and
the Hon. John Ross, commissioner
on the part of Great Dritain, did
the same in the presence ot Hon.
Caleb dishing and Hon. C. D. Day,
counsel for the two governments
respectively. It is probable the
judgement of the commissioners
will be published at full length.
They appear to have diftl-red some
what in their appreciation of the
testimony as to the value, and to
have modified their respective
views as to the amounts to be
awarded rather than incur the haz
ard of further reference. By this
decision a very long controversy,
which on several occasions threat
ened to disturb the amicable rela
tions of the two countries, is
brought to a close. The evidence
and arguments are very volumin
ous, upwards of one hundred and
seventy witnesses, resident in all
parts of this continent ami of Ku
rope, having been examined, and
the proceedings embrace three
thousand five hundred pages of
printed matter. It is considered
satisfactory to find that in so com
plicated and so long-continued a
national dispute the commissioners
of two governments have been able
to accord in opinion. The Hudson
Bay Company, and the l'ugct
Sound Company arc required by
award to release to the United
Slates all the possessory rights be
longing to them in Oregon and
Washington, which were the sub
ject matter of their respective
claims against .the United States.

Discovery of an Immense Cave.
Carlin, Sept. 10. John W. El
lis, an agent of Wells Fargo &, CVs
Express, and F. Gillet, Superinten
dent of the Railroad, arrived from
Mineral Hill yesterday. They
give the most glowing accounts of
the richness of the mines there.
During their stay they discovered
a magnificent cave; the entrance
being so small that it barely admit
ted the passage of a man. After
getting in, a large chamber, with
ceilings fifty feet high, hung with
stalactites, which reflected the light
from the burning torches a myriad
of times, this magnificent" hall
seemed of enchantment, echoing
every sound like the soft notes of
an iEolian harp, and so far away
that the ear failed to penetrate the
distance. So vast was this natu
ral structure, that the explorers,
after traversing its marble lloor for
half a mile, returned to daylight to
speak of the gorgeous scene. An
other party will leave in a few days
to more thoroughly explore this
great wonder.

The flooding of the mine was ac
complished in twelve days, by
means of a ditch, taking water
from -Whatcom creek. The free
ing of the mine was done by means
of two water-cars, t wo tons capac
ity each, and a twelve-inch pump,
with six feet stroke. This combin
ed machinery freed the upper work
of the mine, a depth of 240 feet, in
twenty-two days, delivering to the
surface during that time 81,072
tons, or 20,208,000 gallons of wa
ter. To free the entire mine, two
months and ten days were con
sumed. The mine has been worked to a
depth of 500 feet, and in a north
east direction 2,800 feet. At the
total depth of 050 feet, the works
will lie opened immediately under
Rellingham Ray.
AVitli the machinery there is one
Go-horse hoisting engine, and one
40-iiorsc pumping engine.
Otto Vogel's submarine steam
ship, the plans of which have been
approved-by the Prussian Admi
raiity, is covered with strong plat
ing, ami is entirely below the sur
face of the sea, with the exception
of the deck, which is surmounted
by a vaulted iron roof of immense
strength.. Beneath this covering
heavy guns are placed, so that the
whole greatly resembles a first
rate ironclad. It is said that lie
side all the advantages of such
mee.-of war, the new ship may be
entirely submerged, and in this
position is so completely under
command that it can" out weather a
storm or attack an enemy with
submarine cannon and torpedoes."
