Wi:I.t Ii A It IXS - i- '. Ia a cas;e of bigamy in New Ilavt-u, Ct., the much married man pleaded insanity, but without avad. He Proved that lie had been iu an insane a-iylum, but it hapiiened that such sx cataf.tiophe occurred before cither f his two marriages. Recurring to this m itter and its consequences, the Cincinnati Gazette sy.;: The case loaves par -lexing quetiom. If, he ciuse of insanity, he was not respon n b'e for taking the second wife, was ho for the first? Does not the verdict make him incompetent for either, and therefore dissolve both? A singular f ict is that neither of these young wo men thought him insane, or, at any r.:te, too issnnc to marry. Probably bis insanity was only a mania for mar rying, which is an act iu which all men are insane more or h-ss.

The bulk cf the new loan is probably floating debt, borrow ed from hend to mouth, at Madrid. Spanish six per cents are qouted at 62 in London, and the probability ia that Spain will follow the example of Tur key in partial repudiation. Peace and wise administration, which might en able Spain to pay her debts, seem stilj remote. paESI&E.VTIAL DIDATE1. Papers of both parties since the fall elections are casting about for Presi dential candidates. The aspirations of many prominent for the nomination have- been dissipated by the recent elec tions, -while those of others havo b-en promoted. Ai d as to others friends and opponents differ -widely as to the effect upon their prospects. Among tbo Republicans the eh etions in Maine and New York are regarded as fiect ua.ly settling the aspirations of Sp-ak-er Blaine and Senator Conldiu, two of the most formidable candidates, while the meagre major;tie3 obtained by them in Ohio and Pennsylvania donot creata any enthusiasm for Governors Hayes and Hartranft. Pc strut ter General Jewel', who is now growing into favor among the better c!ass of Republican politici u.s, will probably be eacrifici d in the spring by a fiab Democr.'tic mr.j ity in Conn o'icu.

The indiscreet con- dnct of ceilain New York politicians! and papers in their 1 itter opposition to tie u.no psauorm ana cunrtiitate v.r.-icn served to defeat their party in that S'ate is the more hurtful in vit-w ef the f ;ct that New York was only saved by a paltry majority. Indeed tho Democratic light in the Republi can States of Ohio and Pennsylvania has much more creditable than iu the Dcmccrotic States of New York and New Jersey. There must be some compromise be- I two n these factions or defeat is ineviti bio a compromise surely upon the financial policy of the party, if notnpon leading candidate. It may bo that ilendricka and Thurman the favorites of the West, and Tilden, the fnvorite of the East, must give way for some candidate acceptable to both. Who that man is will be hard to tell. Ssuator B:yard at present would ap pear to be the coming nnn. If Penn sylvania aud New Jersey and Mary land will uni'e upon him he will doubt less be nominated. lie would be ac- ceptable to the Southern Democracy, as would be any other candidate of pro nounced views upon the great ques tions of reforming the abuses of the government. The Washington News recommends Senator Bayard and Senator Gordon as the Democratic nominees. We are second to none iu our admiration of Georgia's favorite statesman an ad miratiou which extends back to the time when as Colonel of a regiment we saw what manner of man ho was, ami oontinired until to-day when we see him r ven greater as a civili sn in tha discharge of the important tiuties de volving upon hire.

"Jf ar.y Southern man is to occupy the M coiul place oa the Presidential ticket, we are reasonably confident that St-natcr Ransom of North Ciro- hna, will probably be selected. He combines every quality and recun-nu-nd.ttiou for the high and honorable position. If anybody from tho South s. so dis u.guised, we believe Senator Ruusoui L:t;i the best chance to st-eure the priz- lie will be worthy of it in all re.-pects, Virginia will rejoice, with North Cu.uina in thu p-ouJ pr mo tion of tU, lu'lor'u nol'i'if ,... ..;-, A lull.

It costs the City of New York only 25,000 to collect $23,000,000 of taxes, while it costs N.'r Orleans $100,000 to collect $-2,000. o00, which we were about to rem j i k, and the reason is quite plain, is another argument in fa vor of Democratic Government.

Much bas been said and written of the repudiation by Mississippi of a portion of its State debt iu 1824. By that act the honor of the State of Mis sissippi was tarnished, and its credit almost irretrievably injured. The amount for which the Legislature re fused to provide payment was $5,0f 0, 000. 1 be bonds bad peen i sued in fa vor of the Union Bank, a State institu tion, and were held by Messrs. B.ddle & Co., of Lon Ion. Since 1842 the hol ders of the bonds have maintained a slight hope that provision would ult -mately b made for their payment. The question has now been forevf r settled. At the recent election in Mississippi an amendment to the State Constitution was adopted, wb'ch pro hibits any future legislation looking -to their payment. It has been paid that Ben Butler is a large holder of the bonds, and they were purchased by him with the intention of inducing the Mississippi Legislature, through the influence of son-in-law Ames, to pro vide for their payment. It is certain j l.y not an improbable story. Ore Kuuli Cupper ffllue. BY PltOF. W. C. KEKU. The most remark'b'e veiu in North Ca-.olina, is at Ore Knob in the south east corner of Ashe county, near the top of the Blue Ridge, and about two miles from New River. This mine was opened before the war, but not explored to any depth or with any sys tem, and its real character was not de veloped until about twe years ago, wbeu it was purchasetl by the present onrs, the Messrs. Clayton & Co., of Baltimore. These gentlemen have opened the vein by a series of shafts and tunnels, and have been repaid by the discovery of a body of ore which i3 not equalled at any mine I know of outsid' " of Dnektown. Tho rock of the region is a gray (and usually) thio bedded gneiss with mica schists and slates. These havo a prevalent strike a little east of northeast, and dip east at a tolerably high angle; though both dip and strike are subject to consid erable variation. The walls of the copper vein are micaceous gneiss and mica slates, with a strike N. 57 de gree E. and dipping southeast at an angle of 40 to 458 degrees. Tho cop per vein is coincident iu strike with the rocks, but is vertical, cutting across the strata in dip, so that it is a a true tissue vein, and not bedded' like those of Ducktowo Ic is tracea ble by outcrop of gossan for more than a mile, and has bt'- i proved by trial-shafts and trenches for nearly 2,000 fet. The "jreadtb of the lode varies from about f to 15 feet, (is sta ted to measure 20 in come cases) averaging about 10 probably. Seven shafts have been sunk vertically in the vein, and driven, at the depths of 90 and 150 feet, these shafts aud drifts often not touching either wall ; so that the vein is opened at a linear distance of 650 feet, here is pro periy speaking, no guge stone, the whole breadth of the tissue being filleu with ore. Trie gossan, which is de composed of oxyd'zed ore, extends to Ian av.trage dep h of oyer 50 feet in the different shafts, the lower half con taining a valuable percentage of oxyd aud malachite. B-low this lrvel cf oxjdation. the ore is srdphuret of cop per The quantity of ore removed in tblmere pioo-ss of opening the mine is very great, ('-stimateel at over 3,5:10 tons), as tbre was no loss of work, every foot of excavation b.big repre s nted by its quir"ent of ore on the surf e Some nirts.of t!" v-i:i eo? tain small portions of maj-ti- tiN. quartz an i garnet. Dr. T. S. Tlnnt had ex im-md the mine a few we k -belore uiy Vit-it, nud I give f-i:-- analv r s of the ore. II Ki : "Tao sum pies of the go-s:vu taken at d' truces ' two cr :hree ie-t abov to snlpuui yielded r sped fully 11 a-id 22 per ce.ii of copper. It is evident th .t a bog portion of this gossan can le; treab d advantageously for copper." Of the unaltered portion of the 'vein, ho t-ays: "Some parts of the veiu are filled with copper pyrites, mixed with m -re or hss magnetite, and yiehiitgin d iT r ent specimens 17 to 22 per cent or cop per, vhiie a larger portion cons:st. chit fly of an impure varhg,t- d ore. giving in n iff rent assays, 35 3J a,.d 45 er c nt of copper." An average sanj iile of fresh and nu:lried or. from a large pile gave 25 per c.nt amj anoth er from a pi e, chiefly of iron-b'ack ore gave 36 per cent of copper. The ave rage of the ores whioh were undergo- mg reduction in Augnst. i i, estimatrel l.-y Mr. Clayton to range be tween 12 and 2u per cent. The mine being situated nt the dis tance of 40 miles from the nearest rail road depot. (Marion, Va.,) it was de sirable to reduce the ores on the spot.
