Yesterday a thunder storm was in progress daring the blastiug, and the rattle of Heaven's artillery, mingled with the railroad cannonade, hail, rain and lightning, combined to make it a scene of impressive grandeur, even for the Rocky Mountains. Ten or fifteen minutes pre­ ceding these terrible explosions, the school bell is rung to warn people to cover, as broken glass and crushed roofs are frequently the results. \ T^e mountain streams are numerous herei being fed by melting snows which are common at the mountains' peaks all apefnd f 40 per day for water Democracy gone back an first principles. 1ST rhe House Committee on Invalid Pensions has made a favorable report on the bill to pension army nurses.

A. M. (Long) Jones, wan unanimously chosen Chairman of the Re- , pab'ioan Sta'e Central Committee, which £ met at Chicago on Tuesday and Daniel Sbepard Secretary. Both were excellent t selections, and the Republicans of Illinois are now assured that the coming cam­ paign will be pushed with vigor and that there will bo no let up until the polls close in November. f ISF"The public debt of tfie ifnited States on August 31,1865, was $2,756,- 411,571.43; the annual interest' charge $150,977,697:87. On the lstof July, W0, the debt, exclusive of Pacific rail I bonds, was $921,603,896, and the al interest account $29,417,603.15 Aftte rate of payment maintained thro: the last decade the last dollar of the it war debt would be discharged !

As a phrase maker Mr. Vorhees is fniictotly trying to run opposition to Cleveland: but he seems to lack the ility of the Ex-President. It is food that the Republican Senators ;e no set speeches on the tariff an tin the appropriation bills have all disposed qlby the senate. be reapportionment of Congree- uiHtriets on the basis of the new will cause a gain in the Northwest «&i a loss in the South. The chief losses w?H be in Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. If the present basis, of 332 representatives is kept on the estimate el 64,000,000 population for the United States the population requisite for a dis­ trict would be 192,000. Pennsylvania and Ohio will probably make gains. The sqggestion is made that the reapportion­ ment can be made applicable to the next congress by requiring that where a State loses in numbers, all that State's Repre­ sentative* can be chosen at large on a general ticket, and where the number is increased the members from districts as far as they now go be elected as at pres­ ent, the representatives from new or added districts to be elected at large. atCa \y men IflTThe President certainly has the taagh on the democratic press of the country which has been railing at him for allowing his wife to accept a seaside cottage at Cape May Point. The criti­ cism would have been but just if Mrs. Harrison had accepted a cottage from oituensasagift: but the fact has juet leaked out, and it did not come from them either, that Mr. Harrison gave his check fqr $10,000 in payment for the cottage which his family ig at present occupying Point. It was intended by who purchased the ground to have presented >u, but as soon as the of it be informed them it an inviolable rule never to accept, nor allow ? of his family to accept present* af any kihd. How many demo­ cratic papers will have the decency to correct tie wrong accusation they have •Wn making? A dispatch from Weshington says: Congressman Hopkins, of Illinois, has not given up hope of the passage of anti- lottery legislation this session,in spite of the want of interest on the part of the Chairman of the House Postoffioe Com- niittee, who could have had one or more of the anti-lottery bills reported favor­ able months ago if he had made the least effort; Mr. Hopkins, having conferred with other members of the Poetoffice Committee to found that the gener&l sentiment was favorable to a short cut in parlimantary proceedings to get the lottery question before the house. As •POP as Senator Sawyer's committee completes its bill Mr. Hopkins intends to introduce the saute bill in the House and with the help of Caldwell, Evans, Blount, and Anderson of Missisrfppi, members of the House cqpunittee, it reported to the House in time for the Senate bill to be substituted for it. At this period in the saasioa the would bav| serious obsta- eliM to meet tf aay other hlaa to be generally narrow, rapid, stony creeks, and as pure and clear as crystal. A few mo nta'n trout are caught, and a bear or mountain Hon occasionally trapped or shot. A new impetus has recently been given silver and lead mining, by the passage of the Silver Act. Silver has risen within .two weeks 17 cents per ounce, and lead one cent per pound, and now prospectors are rushing once more to the Rockies> The new bonanza gold find at Tin Cup, although exaggerated is without doubt the biggest since those of Pike's Peak and Gilpin county. Of late many specu­ lators have been turning their attention to Peach Blow Granite, which is said to be the finest building material of modern times, thousands of tons of it being hipped to Chicago an 1 New York cities from Colorado. Governor Francis, of Missouri, is Sit­ ing in Denver, and with his characteristic Southern blow remarked to a Republican reporter that his State was the richest in mineral wealth in the Union. Upon com­ paring notes we found the following: There are three great mineral Statee, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Colorado. Pennsylvania has oil, Missouri has none; Missouri has lead, Pennsylvania hap none; Colorado has abundance of both. Neither Pennsylvania nor Missouri has gold or silver, while Colorado has iron deposits that would make the great Iron Mountain of Missouri look like a baby by comparison. Colorado has also plenty of copper and granite. Last year Colorado exceeded all the gold and silver States of the Union by the amount of her products in those two metals, taking out over $30,000,000. The summer air here m simply charm­ ing, the mercury never rising above 75° up in the mountain towns. This is » little village of 500 or 600 peoplp, includ ing four saloons and one church. Beer, 15 ceuts per glass. Gospel refresh men t* come cheaper. To-night we are to sing at the dedication of this lone church (1 mean the Congregational Church, of course). Last night we gave a concert here to less than 100 people, and they voted us $142 and feel proud of it. They are a wide awake, energetic sort of peo Board here is $12 per week, and everything in proportion. We were at Leadville a day or so ago, and I tell you it is a lively camp, as all other camps and towns in Colorado are at present. There is no such word as hard times io this State. Well I must say we part fe~ the present. As ever, R. D. SCOTT. ! P. S.--Yesterday we visited the cele­ brated mines, Quart site, Spirit, Iron Mask and Exedental Mr. and Mrs. Surrick went down the Incline 1300 feet, and came out covered with glory (I mean dirt and sweat). Mrs. Scott and I clam­ bered down the steep mountain to the Ea?le River, and by the time we climbed np again, some 1500 feet, we had an appetite for dinner. The landlord has the papers to show that. We procured some vary fine specimens. These mines are located about three miles from Red- cliff up the mountain at a little camp called Gill man. Tin Cup is about 100 miles southwest from Denver, where we expect to go to-morrow. R. D. 8.
