Atres ot land, located in the counties of (iactou and t'leaveland, in the State of North Car oiuiH, at King's Mountain Ipot. on theAtlanta aud Charlotte Air Line railway, liow owned by the fcicluuuud auC Danville railroad company. The property has been used for ht'ty years past as an iron properly, and has oeen worked -fct various loims, but clileUy at the site of the celebrated Yeliow Itiitge Ore Bunk, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic iron, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends tor two miles In length, has been worked to the depth of 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the facts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of Iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must make It one of the most desirable Iron properties to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 1UU0 feet above the level land, D0 feet above the sea leve, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom at the mountain, show ing hi one place about 20 feet ot solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, ami above the water due. In addition to this four other vein, bive been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 65 per cent, of metallic iron, with a smail amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore hi this mountain is simply Inexhaustible and of good Quality. Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven- miles, whose pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except ML Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain is full of ore also. In addition to iron ore the property har manganese, limestone clay tor making lire-proof brick, goid and other minerals. Very pure and ex celienlTbarytese has just been found in large quan tity.

Was This a Mere "Suspicion of Corrupt Tendency 1" A Weak Attempt at Whitewashing Shown Up in Keen and Caustic Speech. To Hon. George. F. Hoar, United States ' tsenator . from Massachu setts : ,' . . ' Senator, In the newspapers I find a letter addressed by you to a friend, the principal object of which:' seems to be to discredit some of the state ments made by me in a speech recent v delivered in Uroofelyn. xou will pardon me for pointing out to you some serious mistakes into which your zeal for your friend, Mr. Blaine, seems to have betrayed you. Among them the following are the r most va portant: - ' " - ' . - 1. On June 29, 1869, - Mr. Blaine, then Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, wrote to Mr. W. Fisher, thanking him for having admitted Mm (Speaker Blaine) to a participa tion m, the new railroad enterprise," the Little Rock road,' and expressing a strong desire to have Mr. Caldwell also "dispose of a share of his inter est" to him (Speaker Blaine), adding that he felt he "would not prove a deadhead in the enterprise," and 'saw various channels in which he knew he could make himself useful.'! Mr. Caldwell hesitated to comply with Sneaker Blaine's wish. There upon Mr. Blaine, three months af ter- ward, on October 4th, wrote sax. Fisher two letters in which he related quite circumstantially how he (Speak er Blaine) had without knowing it, and in a correct way, done the Little Rock road and Mr. Caldwell a great favor by an exercise Of his power as Speaker. At the same time he reit erated his "anxious" request for the share of Me. Caldwell's interest in the enterprise spoken of three months before, suggesting to Mr. jj istier to tell Mr. Caldwell about the "favor." The Question is what Speaker Blaine meant when he said that he would not be a dad-head in the enterprise, and that he saw various channels in which he knew he could make himself use ful; and also what the object was of the letters of October 4th? You say Speaker Blaine meant simply that he was acquainted witn many capital ists, and had peculiar facilities for placing bonds. Does it not occur to you that it Mr Jtsiame had meant tnis it would have been the most natural thing for him to say so f But he did not say so. '. He. did say " something else. I expressed the opinion that Speaker Blame meant to point to the exercise of his official power as the channel of his usefulness. I think this, for the simple reason that this was the thinq, and the only thing, he did point at in two letters written on one day, requesting that Mr. Cald well be told of it, and at the same time repeating his urgent demand for a share iuMr. Caldwell's interest. On which side" do we find the evidence, the only evidence there is ? On yours or on mine ? 2. You say this was, after all, a verv innocent matter, for "it is one of the most gratifying things in life to a man charged with legislative duties to encounter a person to whom he has fairly rendered a service," and to mention it to him, and that it is the "acme of uncharitableness" to see anything wrong in it. Very well. Let me adopt one of your illustra tions. You meet an old soldier and say: "My old friend I have worked hard to get you your pension, and I did get it for you. It has given me great pleasure." This is virtuous and pleasant. But how would it be if 1 you said : "My old friend, I got your j pension for you, and now I want 20 per cent. o it f ' When tne speaKer says to a railroad man:. "I rendered you and your road in a perfectly pro per way a great lavor, ana x am giaa did it." That is one . tmng. JBut when the Speaker says to a railroad man: l aid vou sucn ana sucn a service by the exercise of my power, and now I want you to give tne a val uable interest in your enterprise ; l know J am not going to be a dead head in it " and 4. see various channels m wtuca X can De useiui is noc inas quite another thing? But that is just what Mr. iaine aia. 3. You say it is not true that when Mr. Blaine read the Mulligan letters in the House, the order in which he read them tended to create the least difficulty in understanding them. What is the fact f ile reaa tnose 01 October 4th first, and then the one of June 20th, which contained the "dead head" and. the "channels 01 usetul. ness," thus just reversing the order of time and connection.. Did he put the cart before the horse to make the thing intelligible ? ; . ' - 4. You sav that thecnaree 01 laise- hood to Mr. Blaine's solemn declara- tion before the House that the Little Rock road derived all its value from the State of Arkansas, and not from Congress, is unfounded. What are the facts ? That Mr. Blaine made that statement with reference, to use his own words, "to the question of propriety involved, m a member of Congress holding an investment of this kind," you cannot deny. The object of the statement confessedly watq convey the Impression that the $buse, over which Speaker Blaine E resided, , had no : power over that ind-grant road or its interests and values, and that his owning or asking for an interest . m it wmie-; no was Speaker was a proper and harmless tiling. inow, mr. xiame K-uew per fectly well that the' original grants 1 r - -' ' ti a . rNi A 1 i. were made nominally to orcues, uut reallv for sDecified lines. . So in this Case. ilie original ovu a cui ucu j , 1853. granted lands to Arkansas, and of a raroad frorn a point, t on the MississiDDi river opposite tne moutn of the Ohio river via little Rock tq tne xexas pouimarv itv tutuu, m Arkansas, with Krancnea w ort Smith att the Mississippi river." Mri Blaine knew, furtheri that the very bill referred to in his two letters of rvt,nhAr 4th. hv tiromotinaf the pass age of which he had done. Mr. Cald well "a ereat favor." was "an act to extend the time for th Little Bock and Fort Sy&ith, lUxitroaa, vompany to complete thefirst section of tweh fv rnili of Raid road.1-' thus keeoihe the hnd &&hf;of the bew4$t P ihat food afrve ty, cenwwi Ucftw geyona qb we ongmauv vuuutbiuu edl He knew further that, in addi- tion to this, - Congress had in 1872 passed an act relieving the Little Rock road of Certain restrictions concerning the sale of granted- lands which had been imposed in 1869. And now, I ask you, Senator, w-hethcr, jn, t'le face of all these acts of (congres sional legislation, Mr. Blaine's solemn statement before the House: of Rep resentatves, by which he tried to whitewash himself that the compa ny derived its life, franchise, and value wholly from the State," and thae "the Little Rock road derived all that it had from the State of Ar kansas, and not from Congress" and that the company was "amenable and answerable to the State and not in any sense to Congress," was anything else than a deliberate, unblushing untruth, known by him to be such ? You also deny that when Mr. Blaine, on the same solemn occasion. declared he had never received any Fort Smith bonds, "except at precise ly the same rate, that others paid," he said what was not true. Again, what are the facts? Mr. Blaine's words be fore the . House of Representatives were these: "In common with hun dreds of other people in New Englar d and other parts ot the country, 1 bought some of these bonds not a very,large amount paying for them at precisely the same rate that others paid. ; x never heara. ana ao not pes lie ve, that the Little; Bock Company ever parted with a bond to any person except at the regular price fixed for their sale Instead of receiving bonds of the Little Rock and ; Fort Smith road as a gratuity, J never had one except at the regular market price." When Mr. Blaine said this to the House of Representatives on April 24th, 1876, before the Mulligan papers became public, he knewbut the pub ic did then not know, that be had received large quantities of bonds up on the following contract: s ; - "Boston, September 5, 1869. Whereas I have this day entered into an agreement with A. & 'P. Coburn. and sundry other s parties resident in Maine, to deliver to them specified amounts of . the common stock, and first mortgage bonds of the Lattle Rock & Fort Smith Rail road Company, upon said parties paying to me the aggregate sum of 130,000, which several agreements are witnessed by J. G. Blaine and delivered to said parties by said Blaine. "Now this agreement witnesses that upon the due fulfilment of the several contracts referred to by the payment of the $130,000, and for other, valuable considerations, the receipt of which is acknowledged, I hereby agree to deliver to J. Q. Blaine or order, as the same come into my - hands as - assignee for the contract for building the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad, the following securities, namely : Of the land bonds, 7 per cents. $130,000 ; of the first mortgage bonds, gold, 6's, $32,500. And these $130,000 of land bonds and $32,500 of first mortgage bonds thus agreed to be delivered to said Blaine are over and above the securities agreed to be delivered by Warren Fisher, Jr., assignees to the parties making the contracts, which parties, with the several amounts to be paid by each and the : securities to be received by each, are named in a memorandum on the next page 01 this sheet. "And it is further agreed that, in the event of any one of the said par ties failing to pay the amount stipu- ated. that the amount ot securities to be paid to said Blaine under this agreement shall be reduced in the same proportion that the deficit of payment . bears to . the aggregate amount agreed to be paid. WARREN WISHER, JR., "Assignee." -That this contract was carried out appears m a memoranaum in nr. Blaine's own handwriting, produced by Mr. Mulligan beiore the investi gating committee in Mr. Blaine's presence without a word of objection from him as to its correctness.- And in the face of this contract, and of the fact that large quanties of Little Rock bonds went to Mr. Blaine, ac cording to the memorandum, - with out any payment on his part, aa a gratuity or commission for. Little Rock securities passing to AJ & P. Coburn and other parties from Mr. Fisher, Mr. Blame had the hardihood to say that the "Lit tle Rock Com pany never parted with a oona to any one except at the regular price j fixed for their sale," and that be him- self "never had one except at the 1 regular market price. ,y In both these j cases Mr. Blaine evidently said what I was not true; he knew it to be untrue j when he said it, and he said it with the obvious intent to deceive the i House of Representatives ; and the 'forty four million of his country men," whom Mr. xsiame "tooK into his confidence." How do you call this? I know how you would have call ed it before Mr. Blaine 8 nomination, but that nomination seems to have had a strangly confusing effect upon party -men's Dotions as to public mor als. To call it "brilliant audacity in handling the truth" may suit the vo pabulary of the modern era better. 5. xou say that x lay - too niucn stress upon Mr. Blaine's energetic protest against "the prying into his private affairs;" that I torget the circumstances; that Mr. . Blaine was then a candidate for the lresidency ; that the inquiry - was instituted by his Democratic opponents; etc. Do you mean to suggest that a f public man in high station, whose i official integrity is seriously questioned, should accept and facilitate investi gation only by his party trienas? You will certainly not deny that Mr. Blaine had strong - friends upon that committee. But a public man of a high sense of honor, rather than sub mit to continued suspicion, will in vite investigation by his opponents, not try to baffle it. Feeling himself innocent, he will throw wide Pj)en the doors ot knowledge, the wtaer the better. He will not fear the ap- earance'of suspicious circustances, or he will be ready and eager to ex plain them. He will not increase and justify suspicion by concealment, Unly the guilty will rest under sua picion, because he fears exposure and copyactton. ; The cnaracter ot .the juingB jut. xiame ttucceeueq m yuvr mg up, we are left to infer from, the character 0! those which came . out against his remonstrance. You. thing George Washington would have raved with anger If his "private cor- responaence naa oeen inquired into, by a committee of Tories? Neither you nor I know how thatj would haye been. But of one hmg 1 am,- very sure in Washington V 'private cor respondence'-' nothing would have beeu found in the remptesV degree resembling the Mulligan letters. 6. You. say that Mr, Blaine's -offences have not been "condoned," hut that he has been "triumphantly acquitted ;" that this has been done by the Governor aud Legislature of Maine sending him to the Senate, by his appointment to the cabinet, and by his nomination for the Presi dency. Let us see. Did these events in the least change the facta ' in, - Mr. Blaine's record I Can it be said after these events that Mr. Blaine did ' not write the Mulligan letters; that he did; not make the false statements before the House ; that he did not protest and struggle against inquiry - into what he called his - pnvate 1 business!".; Of course not, 'Dd they change in any sense the character of tnose tacts! iJertamiy not. what then did they effect? Thev showed only that some people when they be stowed public honors upon Mr. Blaine, either did not know these facts, or chose to overlook them r for party reasons, or regarded them aa comnat- ible with the standard according to which, in their opinion, public hon ors should be bestowed. But does this relieve other people of their duty as citizens to form a conscientious judgment upon these same : things, and to vote accordingly? I wonder whether you would apply your tri umphant acquittal rule with equal readiness to other cases. I am . in formed that your opinion of General Butler has long been quite unfavor able. General Butler was elected to the Governorship of Massachusetts two years ago. He has been : nomi nated for the Presidency by Green backers and Anti-Monopolists. Did that change in any way the facts constituting his record! Did it change your opinion of those facts? Were that election and these nominations, in your opinion, a "triumphant ac quittal?" The mere statement of the proposition is sufficient to show the absurdity of it. As to Mr. Blaine's case, the i gener ality of American citizens are now for the hrst time called upon to de clare whether his public record is regarded by them as compatible with the standard according to which the American people are willing to be stow the highest honor and trust in this republic. If the American people declare that it is, then our ! public men, great and . small, will have learned that they may work in their "various channels or usefulness" to make themselves rich, with the same spirit of enterprise and the same brilliant audacity in the handling of facts which they will have been taught to admire in the model set up for them, without fear of endanger ing their preferment to the highest places. "What the consequent effects of this on the future of the republic are likely to be I have endeavored to set forth in my Brooklyn speech. Of tne enect which Mr. Blame's mere nomination has already produced. your way of defending him furnishes, I regret to say, an instructive exs ample. .: ! , . 7. You are greatly mistaken when Sou "take it for granted that what r. Schurz has not said in this speech against the personal honestv of Mr. Blaine is not worth saving." There are many more facts in Mr. Blaine's record which just begin to for the subject of popular discussion and which may in a most ; urgent manner call for your attention before the end of this campaign. ; 1 confine myself carefully to a few representa tive points which rested upon Mr. Blaine's own letters, speeches and oral testimony alone. Neither can I accept the compliment that my Brooklyn speech is an unusual ; exhi bition of "clear and ; skillful state ment." Whatever strength that speech possesses consists simply in uie circumstance mat it is tne sooer truth, plainly spoken. And just there is your trouble. Truly yours, C. SCHURZ.
