The report of Superintendent Smart contains a fable comprising a period, nf years extending from 1862 to the present time, showing the increase of the school fund of Indiana, the increase in enumeration of school children and the amount, per eapita of the acboul fund, for the intervening years. Thia shows that the enumeration since IhM baa increased from-528,583 to 703,<>sß, tlie school fund from a little more than seven million to more than nine million d<>llars,~~while the amouut per capita has decreased from *13.61 to $12.88 showing that the rate of increase iu the number of children is greater than the increase io the total bchpol fund. Prof. Smart says that the interest on the school fund would not. alone, keep the, schools open twenty-eight days per annum.

ft would be a graceful thing on the part of the Democrat* in the majority Ln both bouresof CoDgr**a, to take up beuatnr L«»gati'e bill, making provision for Genera) Grant, and pas* it.

Ha la more nearly a true repieaentatlve of the people th. a hte asseelaf Danfel W. Voorhees, who holds over. Senator McDonald sprang from the lower walks of life. He is of the people and where his action did not conflict with partisan intereats, we would say he was for the people. It is a groat pity f»r the State of Indiana that if either of the two must be tier representative that it should be D. W. Voorhees in preference to Jofirph E. McDonald. Hut wo must submit for a time to being thus misrepresented. From General Harrison’s extended experience tu public life, (Though not la a legislative ea|>aciiy) snd his broad views on all questions of public polity; with these and the almost unanimous ap-

proval, by the people, of his election to sustain him, we tnsy expect much from Senator Ben Harrison in the National halls of legislation. Not only was his selection desired by the great mass of |<eo|4« of this State, but leading ineu of other states, wished, for Indiana, that she might send her attest son, aud teat one was most generally conceded to be Ben Harrison. What disrepute she may suffer by her representative* ‘Daniel W. Voorhees, Indiana will more than gain by the hono.ed position she *will sustain among the most honored states es the Union, in being represented in the Senate by General Harrison.

Remington Letters.

The Reporter having suspended, the columns of the RkpublicaN are mors eagerly scanned, hereabouts, for Remmgto news. With the view of contributing a mite iu that direction, I take the liberty to write. One case of diphtheria is reported iu town. Local happenings have not been numerous this week. Some sickness in town and vlcinityMrs. Nelson continues very ill with no hopes nf recovery. The ruthless reaper, death has also called home the young spirit of little Commodore Nutt, infant son of Mrand Mrs. John Nutt. Mr. McAnally after a lingering illness died last Friday of consumption. He was a young nan just in the prime of life and leaves a young wife to mourn hia death. The “beautiful snow” has come at last, and a very weleome visitor It i a judging by Ike.merry tinkle of the sleigh bells and the discordant yells of the school boy with his sled. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Cooverare both sick aud have been since the burning of their home iu November last. M ns. C. has been closely confined to her bed since early in December while her husband iu painfudy afflicted and in a critical condition.

The week proceeding quite a ripple of excitement was created by the unexpected acquits! of the alleged burglein of Goldsbury A Go’s store. Public opinion here universally condemns the verdict, but we must all bear in mind the adage that runs something like this “It is better that ninety-nine guilty men escape than that one innocent one be punished-’* The temperance society is in a prosperous condition. The most substantial evidence of which is the largely increased attendance at the meetings and the encouraging sympathy of the groat majority of our best citiaeus. One of the most potent as well as gratifying results of its labor is that our town trustees at their regular meeting passed ordinances providing fora town license of seveuty-flve dollars in addition to the government license, and making it a misdemeanor to drink intoxicating liquors ou the streets, alleys, sidewalks, eto. This actiou on part of the board bad its origin in the society and is heartily concurred in and supposted by the people. Of one thing ws are assured, thaft, the good people of Remington, though at times a little tardy, perpape, never fail when occasion demands to “rally round the banner. of temperance aud justice. We are informed that the society anticipates giving a literary entertainment about the 2Wth. For the society we predict a prosperous future with Mr. Coover at its head. ' . Occasional.

Dear Republican—Huw can a man make comet king out of nothing, bow can he make “brick without straw.” how can we write unless wc have something out of which we cau construct a letlei? We hovent even a newg paper in Remington —much less any news “Blessings bright as they take their flight”, While the Reporter was with us we fooked upou it as a puny, shabby, little affair but iow that it has left us we are disposed to look upon it as a. marvel of journalism and to wish it back with us —fanlt/ grammir bad spelling and all. There is actualy no news of any intrest save 1 and except the wedding which is to taka place Wednesday evening of this week. The question most frequently asked and answered by the average Remingtooion is are you going to the wedding? we will tell you more nSoul it next week. Hay and corn arc rolling into town over these good reads. There is but one serious drawback to the prosperity of Roinington and that is want of transportation. J. 8.

Communication.

Ms. Ekitob, Deer Sir: I notice the following item in the last issue of the Democratic Sentinel: “The Radicals when they were in power, placed the ballot in the hands of the negro and It is well for th*t party—if not for the enantr) —to-day that it did eo. Sambo ’ holds the balance of power. His colonitnI tin* in snflFcient nnrnhere in this state J carried Indiana: the vast population r»f them

la Peatwylvaaia carried that state, sad others worv-carried by the same slowest. Mr. Garfield has a pepedar white majority against him es 1,613,972. Met very eoasolatory.’’ I believe U is generally eeeeeded by good aad hoacrahle citizens of the United States, that every ettiarn at this Nation has equal rights which aH wen are required by the eonstiluliea te respect. Notwithstanding Hambo may be as black as the “ace of spades,” or as “Kgyptian darkness” and his nese may be as flat as a buckwheat cake, yet the editor of the Sent inti must remember that by a certain anMndment to the constitution of the United States of Aweriea, “Sambo" was placed upon aa equality with himself. I glory in our victory, and feel like giving three cheers for the fidelity of “Sambo” to the party that broke from bis limbo the terrible fetters that bound him as a brute in slavery. If Mae will conscientiously consider the kind ires'meat bestowed by ‘'Sambo” on the poor starving Union soldiers in Libby and Ander»onville*«prisons when none were there but “Batnbu” to lend a helping ban<l, I think he will bo ashamed of bis “white majority*’ talk.

Yeoman's Sangre De Christo Cave.

I wilt now write y- u of my discovery. In September lart, while on the Sangre Do Christo rangu prospecting for the precious wealth for which these mountains are noted, I discovered the largest known cave *in the Roeky Mountains. • The Sangre De Christo range is the most picturesque of the Rocky Mountains. It begins near the Spanish peaks aud runs in a nearly nortwest course until the direction is varied by the Arkansas river. On the east is the rich and forttie wet mountain valley, on the west, stretched as far as the •ye can reach, is the Baint Louis Valley. Prospecting for the precious metals with which these rugged mountains abound, 1 discovered an opening in the solid rock, far up the mountain side. On investigation I found within, a chamber about 20 by 40 feet, from which a crack iu the rock leads off to the northwest. But it came to an end at a distance of one hundred feet. From my observations I was fully convinced that (there was a cave in the vieinity, of no mean dimensions.

Just below this first opening I discovered a small hole in the rock, into which I crawled, but did not venture beyond daylight. I then went to the timber below, for the cave is above “timber line” an-i procured some pitch pine for a torch. This took me just half a day, the distance down and back being but four miles. Methinks I hear you say; “That’s too thin. Only four miles in six hours.” But no easy task to climb these mountains ar the rale of one mile an hour, even without a bundle of pine sticks lashed |o your back. Arrived at tlie place with my pitch, 1 found that the light it produced would not answer my purpose. A strong current of air'eoming from the cave caused my torch to soon burn out. Ho I went to Rosita and procurod lamps aud oil and returned fur explorations. 1 took Mr. William Largeant with me to assist. We entered first by crawling a distance of twenty-live feet, then stooping thon walking upright. Our entrance was through a crack in the solid rock. At a distance of four hundred sixty-six feet we emerged into a large chamber, the sight of which made us wild with enthusiasm. Thu walls of this middle chamber as I named if; are as white as snow, with a lime formation. With the aid of our lamps we could see the dome of this chamber tn the dim distance above. A word apoken ia an ordinary tone would souml almost like a shout in open air. To the right was an entrance to another chamber, which, if possible was more beautiful than the middle chamber. To this 1 gave the name of (jueen’s Chamber. We now followed the passige to the left from the middle chamber, we went f<orn chamber to chamber, peering into every nook and corner. At a distance of one thousand feet from the “outer world” we wcro reminded by the diminishing of the oil io our lamps that we must return without finding the cod. On our return to tbo middle chamber it was with difficulty that we found the place of exit. When we first entered tbo middle chamber of this wonderful temple <j*nnture, we wore so enthusiastic that we failed to note the place of our entrance. While we were searching for the way out Mr. Largeant was the wildest looking man I ever saw, he having known an instance wh<-re three mon attempted to explore a cave, and failing to return, he thought ours would bo a like fate. There are many thousand beau, tiful apecimens of lime forinatiom in the cave, but 1 have put a veto on visitors breaking them off. Ido not yet know the extent of the cave. I have found another opening at the base of the mountain which I am sure connects with these or qthcr chambers but as it is tilled with dirt, considerable excavating will have to bo done to effect an entrance. The early snow baa stopped further explorations until spring. It is supposed by many that I have discovered the hidden cave of the Mexicans. It is a matter of record that the Mexicans found a otve io the mountain* from which they look enough of the precious metal to pay off the entire Mexican war debt in one years time. Sums things show t hat it is possible that I have found that cave. In this lower O[*etdng I think I cau show old pick marks, and just below this opening, on an elevation is an old furt and cave. On the creek on which 1 live, at the foot of the mountains, as the remains of lug heap swelters. The smelting, as well as the erection of the breastwork, has beeu dona years ago. These things go to substantiate the supposition that 1 have found the hidden cave. But be that ns it may, 1 propose that next summer, Yeoman's cave be opened for all touristsand pleasufe seekers who may have a deaire to visit it. Respectfully,

Rosita, Col., Dec. 5, 1881.

Fees of Doctors.

The fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in just at present. We believe the schedule fur visits is $3.00, which would tax a niau confined to his bee for a year, and in need of a daily visit, over SI,OOO a year for medical attendance! And one single bottle of flop Bit-, ters taken in time would save the SI,OOO and all the year’s sickness.— Pott.
