Never Say Die.

We by no means give up the fight for 1880. In the history of wars and parties many a victory has been snatched from even greater reverses. The work to be done must be thorough —at once bold and unsparing. While the politicians at Washington are wrangling among themselves, the people at home must organize. Needless baggage must be left behind. We can afford to carry ,no dead weights. We must move up to the front, pledging the country: 1. The maintenance of the public credit inviolate, and an honest effort to advance the prosperity of the people without disturbing the operation of the simple forces—to which we owe the present revival —by experiments upon our fiscal system. 2. The cleansing of all the departments of the Government, and the es • tablishment of a genuine system of civil-service reform in lieu of the prevailing maladministration. 8. The restoration to the people of their stolen sovereignty, accompanied by a fair and enlightened readjustment of our elective system, making it impossible to put the Government on wheels and run it into the several States as a machine for perpetuating the party that happens to be in power. 4. A constutional guarantee against outstanding war debts and liabilities growing out of the war of every description.—Louisville Courier Journal. It is a fact not generally known that the Bank of England supports a rifle corps of its own, which in time, it is intended, shall do away with the necessity of drafting a force every night from one of the Household regiments to guard the national money chest. Many of the mines on the mountains around Leadville, CoL, have suspended work for the winter, being inaccessible in consequence of snow. Those that can be worked are carried on with difficulty, and prospecting is not easy. The ground is covered from two feet to eight feet- with sxiow.
