The propei ty consists of bix Thousand Three
Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of
(zaston and Cteaveland, In the State of North Car
olina, at King's Mountalu Depot, on the Atlanta
ahd Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the
Richmond and Danville railroad company. The
property has been ased for fifty years past as an
Iron property, and. has oeen worked at various
points, but chlelly At the site- of the celebrated
Yellow Ridge Om Bank, ubJch has always yielded
an we noted for Its richness in metaule Iron, and
Its softness nd toughness. -This vein- of ore,
which extends. tor two miles In length, has beeu
worked to the -dept - f 147 feeVhowing at that
depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and anal-.
ln as high as 60 per cent, of metallic iron. This'
'- vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the
(acts set forth cau be fully shown. Various other
, veins have beeu worked, and within the past two
. years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis--.
covered at other points. "Within the pan eighteen
morOhAr however, the owners have discovered de-
posit ofors la Crowder's Mountain, (five veins of
iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown ber
fore, and which will furnish an amount of good
- ore, easily worked and aoove- water, that must
make it one of the most desirable iron properties
to be found. J hey have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which is iuuu feet above the level
land, 22UU feet above the see level, a vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at various points
from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show
ing in one place about 2U feet of solid vein.' This
vein can be traced over the top of Ue mountain for
over a mile, and this deposit atone would afford an
almost Inexhaustible supply -of ore, easily worked,
and-above the water line.- In addition to this four
other vein to?ve been ioond on this mountain.
: -The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from 49 to fie per cent, of metallic Iron, with a
small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul
phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore in this
mountain is simply Inexhaustible and of good
quality. ' - TV -'. .;'.' ." f.t ,n?ei A
Beskteu 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, lntteorgia, and
they have reason to believe this mountain Is full of
ore. also, in addition to Iron ore the property has
: manganese, limestone day for making lire-proof
brick, gold and other minerals. Yen pure and ex

MTTlRe IJOVVrf ON WATTERSON.
Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of
tne Louisville t,xuner -journal, is
doubtless a very brilliant, a . very
entertaining and a veryable ' editor.
But in some respects he is peculiar.
and when he gets a pet idea in : his
head he follows it with the pertinac
ity of a crank,'- One of hio peculiari
. ties is that he imagines himself a sort
of political and editorial Jumbo, and
consequently sometimes assumes a
jdictafcrial air that borders upon the
ridiculous, Svhen it is not absolutely
offensive. , The proposed visit of
Hon. Samuel J. Randall during
tne -
recess of Congress, to several of the
Southern; and border States, Ken-
tucy beiqg one of them, has afforded
him an opportunity of making him-'
self absurd,' and also afforded the cit
izens of Iiouisyille an opportunity to
sit- square down upon him. When
it -was announced that ' Mr. - Randall
would visit Louisville,' "Mr. ! Watter
son took, - occasion .o . inform him
through ai sharply 'written editorial
that his presence was not wanted in
I that eity; Wnd .that he would not be a
treicomo guest, xnia uncanea ior ea
itorial reflected so upon' the good
sense and hospitality of the people of
Tubuisville that it created great in
dignatidni and a meeting of the board
af trade, was at once called in which
speeches were made by several prom
inent citherns denouncing the lan
guage and spirit of the editorial, and
a series of resolutions was . adopted
scoring Mr. Watterson . f or.bis pre-
sumption in thus speaking for the
citizens of Louisville, after, ' which a
committee ;was appointed to urgent
ly-invite Mr. Eandall to come. From
all of whft Mf. Watterson doubt
less learned' the sentiments of tbe
business mbn of Louisville. '; ! -
The trouble with Mr, Watterson . is
that Mr.' Randall holds certain ideas
ori the tariff question which 7 differ
somewhat from those held by "Mr.
Watterson, and Tthat theref orelMr.
Randall has' no right to come South
of the-Ohio; even4 upon invitation, to
give expression to those ideas when
expression is asked for. Mr. Wat
terson 88ems;to think that Mr. Ran
dall has his eye on the Speakership
of the next -House of Representa
tives,' and that while on ,this South
ern trip he Will bid for support in his
contest against some of Mr. Watters
son's friends, ; Mr. Carlisle, for iu
stan:e. ;vThis may or may not be so.
Mr.' Randall may or- may not be a
candidate tor the Speakership, but
this does not justify Mr. . Watterson
in making; a wiid, senseless assault
upon himwhich, if responded to in
this section, would reflect as discred
itably uporf it as upon the origina-
It is well for the Democratic party
and for the country, that such men
as' Watterson, with their h contracted
vision, are nc its recognized leaders.
Had they bee J, and . had their die
turns ruled in '.'the. Chicago conven
tion James G Blaine would today be
the President-elect of the United
States. It was only by subordina
ting the issues that they would have
made prominent that the ranks of
the Democracy were 1 solidified and
victory for Cleveland and Hendricks
made possible, even with the small
margin that we naa. ana even
now it would mean disaster in . the
future if such men as he and those
who'accept his views become a con
trolling power in the part y. ; War
ring on Randall shows lack of sense;
warring upon him as Watterson ; has
been doing since his proposed south
ern visit shows lack of sense a nd
lack of taste.- No good can ' come
from it in any ' event, and we are
heartily glad that the busines s men
of Louisville, Tepresentihg not only
that city, but also the great common
wealth of Kentucky, have so prompt
ly and emphatically put upon record
their condemnation of the narrow
utterances pf the man who pres umed
to speac for them and place them , m
false and discreditable attitude: " '
The Cleveland. Ohio, Plaindealer,
commenting on Blaine's reasons for
dismissing his libel suit . against ' the
Indianapolis Sentinel, . gently- re
marks: -Can't get justice in India
na, f Blaine is a . liar. He . can get
more justice than he . likes in any
court in any State." -
The outlook for" farmers . in some
sections of the West is not very en
couraging, .with corn on the market
in the interior towns at from 15 to 18
cents ft busheL and wheat at : less
than 50 cents, which is really less
than the cost of cultivation and har -
vesting. I To add to this many of
these farmers are heavily ; in debt,
and their farms mortgaged for more
than their entire crops would bring
1 present prices.

Somebody havine atnlled to Mr.
George Ticknor Curtis for an opinion
on the power of - removal as affected
by the the tenure of office act of 1867
and the amended act of 1869, he has
given answer in a somewhat elabo
rate form. .. He finds that the Presi
dent may remove any officer by and
witn tne consent or tne senate, sig
nified by the confirmation of a sue
cessors nomination. - If that body
refuses to confirm he can' nominate
another candidate, and in any event
the incumbent loses his place. -
During a recess of the Senate the
President may suspend any officer
who holds his place subject to re
moval, the name of a successor to be
sent to the Senate within thirty days
after its reassembling. - If rejected
the President may send in one name
after another until one is confirmed.
But in no case is the suspended of
ficer reinstated. In other words,
suspension under the terms of the
tenure of office act and its amend
ment is equivalent to the old time
removal. . . . , . -
If the Senate refuseslto confirm any
name sent it by the President, the'
office simply remains in abeyance
until so filled and the powers and
duties incident to it are . to be exer
cised in the meautime by such other
officer as may by law exercise th m
in case of a vacancy in the office.
The conclusion is that while the Sen
ate may refuse to confirm the Presi
dent's nominations, it cannot prevent
him from exercising the power of re
moval inherent in his office. He may
be prevented from putting his friends
in, but not from removing his opponents.-

The Camel's Lore for the Filth r WeeeV
Dongola Letter to London Telegraph
Knowing what I do about camels.
I fear the brutes will do as much for
us as the Nile wbaleboats in the wav
of maiming and invaliding our men.
Perhaps I am prejudiced aerainst
camels, for being a non-smoker my
self 1 have just discovered that my
camel is an inveterate lover ' of the
weed. . Let any one smoke a' pipe,
cigar or. cigarette in the. compound
called stables, and the camel will
follow the smoker around, place his
nose close to the burins tobacco, in
hale the fumes with with a. prolonged
dniff, swallowing the smoke," then
throwing his nead up, with mouth
agape, and eyes upturned, showing
the bloodshot whites, will grunt a
sigh of ecstacy that would make the
fortune of a low comedian m a love
scene. This is the plain, unvarnished
fact, easy of corroboration. ' What
have the anti-tobacco league to gay
about it?.
