To read the highly complimentary and Jn nf the Press ob Presu I .ulogi.UO Criticisms Of the .MOrr aen " o v & ' a.nm miftui nu lww w - r-frnoe to some, here to-iore jmiSMfJ MMVI W " - - takaowa personage, as one ream, is a man who knows what bis daty is j. tr . sad means to do it though the hea?ns fall,-" and, again, congratulating tb comntryUan having the ablest presj- dent by far that has occupied w eto. From what standpoint baa all this change been wrought? Does Mr Garfield s career in the past warrant any one 10 an tieipale that be will not prostitute bis office for base party and personal pur poses? Have we any guarantee that he will eondact his administration in the spirit and letter of hie inaugural address ? Can we not rather revert to mr uarneiu - ar r a i j i the Senator as a corrupt, pontic man, evsr ready to pollute his position for self . A at- " 1 1 I aggraadixsment t no oae uan wuiuiui.j deny that hii address is not an able artt ele ; it is the produoiion of a scholarly iitelliet. Noccesctol bis life hae be shown his shrewd, keen knowledge oi amen as place aa in the writing of this additsa. Studied, and written for effect, and to suit all eictions, and to epsctualiy oaceal the specific ideas and intents ol its aits or. His broad democratic aeser. tions of the aupiisucy and binding na tare of the oonstuation. will meet with a hearty response lrcm the South; Lut who is there that for one moment supposes 1 that Gaifield will contioae to stand hy this doctrine. It is aot easy to trust those who have once been false. Ibe South feeling tbt f mt injustice done her by former partisan presidents, has shown I . .n .n.rni in .utk tt rirH. . . , - . . ,i of promise. We have no right to ask - t I lavora oi w preaiaent; it is nos vne choice of oar people, nor elected by their v otes. Let the South wait till he proves his sineerity and sec if he does not show bis desire far the " obliteration of old con troveriies," by sending among us a horde of committees under the guise of investi gation. Axoho the amendments te the sundrj civil bill reported to the Senate committee, was one of $2,950 to reimburse Mr Huyts for the expenses of the MacVeigh LouiLi ana Commission. It was explained that the First National Rank of New York bad advanced this amount which was sub sequtatly paid by Mr Haves. Senator Cockling delivered a seething address in opposition to the payment, adding if the appropriation is insisted upon he will discuss and expose some facts damaging to the parties concerned. In commenting upon his address, the New York Sun ba the following: " xr-to m amm Yeauaraaore speech Tre ntarkable considering about wboua it is speken, who spoke, and what is said. The leading Republican. Sauator of the United itatee was discussing a proposi tion to refnnd to another Republican, who has occupied tbe office of President during the past four years, a little less thn four thousand dollars wbiob this President d facto paid oat of bis own pockef for tbe expenses of certain indi viduate who went South to manipulate election returns in bis favor. And what does this leading Republican, Senator Coakling, say on the eoLjeet? He says it would be "making an appro priation worse than unlawful ; be says the measure "does involve the question whether gentlemen requested to go as toariats, not as Cemmissioners with law, but," as be believes, "without law, on aa errand net tolerated either by the Consti tution or by any law which obeys it whether tbey are to be paid under the guise of expense to them, or upoa tbe allegation that the President has paid this money oat of his own pocket-" Then Mr Oenkling goes on to threaten, if the appropriation is insisted upon, to discuss and expose tbe whole matter, with the plainest possible intimation that it will be very damaging to the pcrsous con cerned. The allegation that this money was paid oat of Mr Hayes a own pocket takes awav front him the last vestige of defence the apology that ha was not an active partiei pator ia the foal eoaspiraey wbieh placed him ia cmse. let, Mayes bimelt sup puea me u icr tee torou wmcn Durnt up ike honest retarns that made his or. pjneat, Samael J Tildes, the rigatfal President of tbe United states.

Mr Garfield bad guarded the names of those who were to compose bis Cabinet with a degress of secresy uausaal in the annate of recent preeideot-eleets. The inauguration was attended with the usual display ana csremony upou similar oocasions. Ibe eity was gauay with flags and bunting, and arebee.

It turned out that the mules had been stolen by tbe presons from wheat Mr. Wright had purchased them, and the unfortunate man was found with them in bis possession by a vigilance com mittee, who at once executed him and bis servant, notwithstanding their pro testation of innocence.

The flanota soon reached and destroyed tbe worke at tbe mouth of the mine. Five white men and fifty Chinamen were laboring in tbe mine at the time, having gone down but a few . . . 1 t 1ST inm minutes before the explosion. wu. ..itirvr. ... made With the mine Up to twelve 'clock, and until that time the fate of tbe miners was a subject of bopeleas conjecture.

Tne force of the explosion was felt at Evanston, two miles away, where it shook buildings perceptibly. The excitement over tbe calamity waa heightened at Aimy by tbe probability that it will be several days before the bodies can be recovered. Ibe mines at Almy yield bituminous coal, and are worked by slopes leading at easy grade into the deposits. Tbey are tbe uuly mines the Central Pacific Company own at Almy, where are employed several hundred men, ctmfly Chinese. They pro dnce from one hundred and fl ty to two unnHreil ar load ntr dav. wbieu is used to supply the Central Puc.fie lec motivts and shipped to points along that roid. These mines heretofore have been free from explosions of gas and fire damp, tUuugti !aperin(eodnt Clark etates that gas sometimes accumulates in small quanti ties. The miners bad accordingly become careless and negleored moat of tbe usual precaution New York Herald Bichm 1 y Vs., March 5 A series of systematic lOoueiies have been discov ered ia the Natiooal Bmk 01 Va amount ing in tbe aggregate to $23,000.

General Colley's death and the loss of many brave troops now en gaged in an unnecessary war might well command a pause. It appears that the Ganeral, with about 600 men, proceeded on last Saturday nignt to lake a'positiou on tbe Majala Moantain, near the encampment of the Boers, and just over looking thairarmy. Oa Sunday morning the Boers attacked him with energy, aad at 2 o'clock drove the British from tbeir position aud pursued them, making great bavee among the flying troops, (ieneral Colley, wboso dwatn will oe greatly, regretted, was jast 46 years of age and his having at loat ago attained the high rank of maj jr-general attests the great steem in wnich be was held as a military man.
