COLORADO. . Discovery of Rich Copper- Mines. Probabllities of an Active Year in Mining Circles, The Murderous Carcer of tho Espanosn Brothers. Bpeeial Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, OANOX O1Ty, Col,, April 20, 1874, The elght-nnd-forty preachors, the eight-and- forty doacons, the wan, dismal, consumptive crow of invallde, and the fow morchants, profos- sional mon, and gentlemen of elogant lsisure, who ' constituto the chiof population of Canon City, aro quite visibly excitod over tho froal dis- covery of somo * - TIOH AND WONDERFUL.COPPER-MINES situated in what 18 known as Wobster's Ganon, & wild, romantic mountain-gorge, 12 miles from this heavon-favored spot. The new Golconda ia vecelving its squads of minors and adventurors daily; and, ns I writo, a choice porspective is ro- voaled of froightars, wagons, mulos, and bull- whackers, all Iaden with flour, bacon, picks, shovals, and other necedsary paraphornalin, and sll bound for tho mines, Tho sireets resound with blows and cureos, and thoe old squatters, who bave beon scralching tholr raggod backs egalust tho bitching-posts for tho past twonty years, doclaro that thoy never saw the town so livoly bofore.

Really, the oxcitomont is quite prodigious, and romiuda one veory forcibly of the palmy daysof '69, whon whisky sold tor $2 a pint, and whon desperadoon blazed awoy at each other with revolvers every morning bofore breakfast, and doluged the ground with goro. Thoso wero exciting days; and now, when one witnosses the hurly-burly and confusion, when ha beholds red-shirted, full-whiskered minors *etamping up and down tho stroot, comparing oros and assays, and al- Iudiug to now and wondqrful lodos with that modesty of nomenclature go peculisr to tho mountaiu-region, it requires but a smatl stroteh of the imngination to believe that old Father Time ha sot the dial-hand back about ton yoors, Speaking of desperadocs, one is very naturally tominded of those Moxican outlaws aud cut~ throats, TOE ESPANOSA DROTNERS, who flonrished in this country in 1863, and who were the terror of every man, women, and ohild in Bouthern Colorado. Thoir names aro wtill usgod to frighten refractory specimens of Young Amorica ; and the oldost inhabitant always looks gravo whon Lio montions tho nrme of Espauosn. If one-Lalf the yarns rolatod of them ara truo, thoy were the most bloodthiraty viilaing that ovor walked tho faco of tho carth, It seems they did not murder so much for tho gain of the thiog as for tho mere pleasuro of the killing. Thoy liked thio smell of frosh blood, and gloated over tho oxpirlog agonics of their victima. It was doath to meoet the Espanosns on a lonsly rond ; it was almost equally fatal to meot thom in o crowd, was in Bouthern Colorado, in the vicinity of the Bangre do Clristo Pass, Colorado Oity, the Apishnps,.and Fairolay ; and how many stage- drivors, cottlo-herdors, land-speculators, and innocent tradors wero slaughtered by the Es- pruosas it it impossiblo to tell; but itis known that thoy murdoted twonty-two men, Murdor followed murder in rapid succession ; respeota- ble citizons were shot down upon tho highivays, and their Lodics horribly mutilated by somo unknown foc ; and ro great became the popular fenr that some ronds wore entirely abandoned, and every ono bull enough to venture out yosombled & walling amsemal. . It was during the Civil War; a Rebel raid was auticipated from Toxas; life and property were insoeuro; and every one distrusted and suspected his neighbor. "The genoral opinion was, that the murders wero committed by an or- gnn[znd band ot bushwhackers. No one dream- ed of tho Espanosns. The Espanosas wore two brothors,—ouo of thom a large, powerful man, who woron No. 11 boot, and waa a doad_shot | the other, small, supplo, and wiry. Having ro- ceived some grievanco at tho hands of the rol- diors in New Mexico, they startad out to obtain revenge, and were inspired in thoir bloody work by a religious fanatacism which taught thom to believe it was their mission to kill every heretio in tho country, At last n sorios of the most ag- gravated murders, committed in the vicinity of L'girplny, aroused 'tho communtty to blood-licat, and acompanyof determined men a3 organized, who subscribed to A SOLEXN OATI that they would uever give uptho search until the murderors wero capured. The froshest mur- der was that of two men near what is known as tho Red 1Nils, on the rond betwoen Colorado City and Fairplay. Like sil tho othor victims, :he bodies wero horribly mutilated; but the pur- sucis discovored thatthe murder had beoa com- mit:ad by two men,—ono of thom wearing & No, 11 boot, and tho other a No. 5, ‘The murderers wore mounted on horses, and their trail led over 1 wild, broken country, toward the Platte Cauons. At every camp and stopping-place thero woro the marks of tho big and littlo boots ; and, from tho various slgus, the pursuera soon be- camo sutisfled that themurderors woro nono other than the Espanosns, Becoming satisfied of the direotion of their route, {ho company, six in number, took another route, with a view of in- torcepting tho Espauosas at a stoep, rocky,de- tile through which they must pass to reach tho canon. 'This poiut was reacied about dusk, and, a8 1o tracks woro found, it was belioved that the Espnuosas bpd not yob arrived, The pursuers Bocretod thomelvos at o poiut commanding the road, and patiently waited for their game,—four of the mon lying down, vhilo the other Iwo remained‘on guard. The obilly hours of the mght wore tlowly away, but no Espanosas appearad. Suddenly one of tho sleopers bounded up with o wild, terrific yoll, aud throw himsolf upon his comrade. Thé shock was 80 suddon and violent that overy man was upon his foct in an wstant, and triggern clicked ominously; for oll belioveu that they Liad been surprised by the Lspanosas. Thoy etood theto with guns loveled @ cach other's hearts, not knowing whothor thoy wors friends or foes, whon one of the most collccted in tho party spoke out and doired to Lnow what the row moeant, Lxplauations fol- lowed. Tho man who cauked all the commotion declured that ho hiad had a terrible droam; that he imagined the Espanorss wore upon Lim aud, just aw the lnito wan desconding, e gave & tar: viblo yoll. Thero was no mora sloop in camp thiat mght, and in the morning it wau found that tho victim of thnt horrible droam had gone HOPELESSLY CRAZY, Ho violent did ho becoine thatit was found neces- sury to tie bim to o horse to return home. Tho poor fellow never recovored from theshock, but died within a year,—anothor viotim of the Expau- 0883, ‘the firat expadition was n failure; but an- othier was soon organized, composed of the same mon, aud.tho trall of the noted murderers was again taken, ‘They woro flunlly overhauled near Bignal Mountain, one of the faothills of Pike's Poulc on the \ 3ub, and discovored in o small o Vine, whero thoy lad sccrated thomselven for tho purpose of caokiiug dinnor, having firat lar- iutcs their horses to some shrubs near by, Lhe arty crawled up within about 40 yards, aud {;noclmd down tho Espanosa with thobig boots at the flrnt fire 3 but the younger brother, boing droeaed fn a buckskin suit similarto ono worn by o man who Lind boen stationed at the foot of the ravine to lutercept tho murdorers, was allowed 1o mako his cscape, 1l scaled the rocke like a “decr, und the mistake was not known until it wag too late.

A" momorandum-book wns also found, Thia was written in Spanish, and was hoaded it & prayer, potition, or throat, dirostod to tho Governor of the Tarritory, which wont on to atato, in substance, that thoy had beon comntasioned by God to kill horetica ; and that unless the Governor granted thom a full an unconditional pardon for tho offonses alrendy committed, thoy proposed to keop right on lmunf. 1t also coutainod a record of the num- bor of men murdered, glving thoir nomes in full, 1t is almost noodless to add tlnt tho party did not ro to tho trouble of holding a funoral-cero- mony over the body of Espanoss, but loft the Bama {o the tender merclos of the turkey-buz- zards., Tho othor dengaxndo mndo his cecape to Now Moxico, where ho joined his cousin, and ursued the same old caroor of murder and pil- ngo, A few yoars lator, both thoso worthics were lfinlnnt KILLED 8Y JAGK TOBIN, near tho Sangro do Ohristo Pagsa. This last foat finishod up the Espanosas, and it also finishes nup my digression. and wo will roturn once moro to Canon City und tho copper mines, Tho eoxistenco of copper-ore in and about Canon City, in connection with other procious mutals, lius boon kuown for years ; but tho first genulioo discovory of the Coppor-Guloh region was mado by Jug §n Hawkins, in 1862, It soama that the worthy Judge was out ou a deor-hunt, and, becoming soparated from his companion, and focling rather fatiguod and worried, he snf down undor the shadow of a Iarge rock, to rest himsolf and colloct the points of the compasy. Whilo here, his attontion was attracted by o po- ouliar green-colorod voin in tho rock at his foet, and, broaking off a ploce, ho was astonished to find the specimon fairly glittering with nativo copper-oro. The Judgo planted a stake, claim- ing all the minerals and othor preciona stuft within 500 feot of tho same, and then lit out for camp at a livoly gait; but, infartunntely, holost Lis way, and wandored abont the mountaina for two doys, subsistiug on nothing but roots and berriea, When the Judgoe finally turned up, he was famishod, oxhausted, and thoroughly dis- gusted ; and ho swore a shocking oath that he would never visit the mines again himeelf, or rovoal their locality to any one elao. At the Band Creok mugsnore, tho arrow of an Arapahon onabled the Judge to keop hia contract, for his name appoars in tho list of thoso who wora all buried in one mound on the banke of ho Arkansas. Tho ascond discovory of Copper Gulch was made ABOUT TWO MONTHS AdO, by asquad of vetoran prospectors; and, since that timo, thoy have beon opening out richier and richer, Twouty-five or thirty difforent lodes have been discoverod, and, whilo bardly any of theso have beoon sunk to n grentor dopth than 10 fect, yet all the ore makes o good thowing, and nssays Trom 26 to 80 por cont pure copper, ~ Tho forma- tion of the rock is mica-slato. Nearly all the veins assume one uniform direction, from tho northwest to tho southeast, and are of uniform thickuess, averaging 8 feof. Among tho most remarkable discoveries is the Chicago Lodo, with & 2-foot crevice, aud a dip of 19 degrees to the south; the New York Lode, ownod by Gen, Adam¢, a 8-foot cravice, and _one that assays 25 per ceut ; the Pooris Lodo, Hay & Hill, ownors ; tho Bluo-Voin Lode, Pattofaon & David, ownors, with a 8-foot voin, which bas boon traced for 1,600 feot along tho side of tho mountain, and which yields surface-oro that assays 25 percont; tho Imperin]l Lode,—Thompson’ Dorsoy, ownors,—which consists of three parallel veins, cach 8 foot wide ; tho Eurcka, the Canon City, tho Bacramonto, the I. P., the Juniats, the Paulifio, and_tho Groonbatk,—all similix in character, aud all yiclding an abundauco of groen carbonates, rod sulphurots, aud gray cug- r-oros, which yield to tho pick with’ littlo ificulty, and aro easily smolted. Quito's number of Eastern capitalists havo alroady boon attractod to tho spot; among tho rest, Gon. Adams, a tall, postly gentloman, with tron-gray locks, a doublo chin, and & piercing eye, who hails from Bridgoport, Conn,, and who is said to bo tho owner of soveral very important copper-roduction works in that vicinity. The Geuoral was tho original founder of tho lively Town of Clinton, Iowa; but, becoming tangled up in corner-lots, be rotired in disgust, and in- vestod tho remuants of his fortuno in Westorn mines, Ho lins met with roverses and successes; he has mado aud lost foxtuncs at one turn of the wheel; but now, with thoso grest and undeveloped coppor minos, the General is con- fident that the ight streak Las been ranched, and, with a recklossness that cannot fail to ex- cite publio sdmiration, he offers $10 a ton for ore on tho dump. Under his auepices, quito 3 A FLOURISHING LITTLE TOWY, with the suggestiva fitle of Copporville, has boon laid out ot the footof the Gulch, and cabiug—mud, log, Rnd adobe, with windows and without windows—are springing up 1n every di- reotion. A post-oftice is talked of, asalso a danco-hall, 8 proncher, and & newspapoer ; whilo the inevitablo saloon will soon be on tho ground, If the narrow-gango rond s extendsd ta Canon City ; if Gen, Adums puts “K his reduction- works ; and, finally, if the ore holds out, we see nothing ahead but'a glowing future, ana would cordinlly mvite enterprise and apoculation to mako one more bold, determined atand at Canon City and Copperville. Indeed, the mountaine in tho vicinity of Copper Gulch sppear to Lo only & mnes of solid mineral, and discoveries still more wonderful than those already reported may be expectod auy day. “'hio indications are, that the prosent sear will be an active oiie in_ Oolorado mining cireles, Ben have given up tho idea of taking out for- tunes in a week; thoy oxpect, and aro willing, £ work for what they obtain; and, having onco formed this determination, with experience, capital, and the nocossary muchinery, they can- not fail fo.succeed, The minerals aro hero ; nothing i8 required but patient, systomatized oftort to got them out and make their reduction pay. Tho dsys of wild_speculation aro ovor; and now, when & mun takes up mining, he can figure on all the chaucos, lossos, and profits, ay well a8 in any other line of businoss, To bo sure, a great strike is nmow and theu made, as thus wild mountain-region is full of sceret ulches and mountain ravinos that have nover Eeun explored; but, n8 n general rulo, the man who grows rich mining doos so at the oxponso of yoars of toil. Ilowever, there s A PASCINATION ADOUT THE LIFE, impossiblo to resist. 'Tho engor hopo, always looking forward for the golden treasure, is not dismayed by the most stubborn toil or fright- ful hardship; ond, when a man is once thor- oughly inoculated with tho fover, he will endure rags, poverty, hungor, and thirst; be will forego all the sweots aud delights of clvilized lifa; but ho will not desert his humblo mining cabin, Den are still grubbing away in thoso mountains who come out in 1850, They bave not struck it yot, but the faith within them is atill nh‘uufg and pushes thom onward. Do they grow n'(uu-henrtod, discouraged? Not a bitofit. Thoy have scon their cbmms grow rich, porhaps; they havo hoard of fortunes made in single hour; but thoy plod along, and contont themsolves with the bollef that their turn bag not arrived vot. ‘Che peculiarity about the vetoran miner is, that he always sticks to ono spot. 1lis roving peospeoting days are over; he no longer climbs rugged mountains and crosues sandy Ehhm in seatch of nuggets: but be hunts out the bloasom rack, finds the ledgo from which it fell, and follows that lodge, though it leads him down to the infornal regions, As illustrating this, thoy tell an anccdote of old ‘Wacy, who mined a fow yoars ago up near Con- tial. Ho lnd & mine,—not vory rich, to bo suro, but Le had plauted hime golf, sa he maid, to die right thero, He would not sell unless he recoivod his prico, and o wonld not mave on, though gum-nuwnd » cool 100,000 in the very next gulch, One day, » pationt, ' honoat-looking German accosted Wacy, and asked to be directod to some good prospoot, “Wall," aald Waoy, lenning on his piek, and _poiuting to a emall atream that camne ripplivg down tho mountain, *“you soo that brook over thero, whoroe the wator falla into that basin, 'Tho gold {8 there; but I'll be cussed it I lenve tuis claim of mino to go and take it ont." Tho Germau actod on the hint, commenced digging at the spot Wacy indicated, atruck a pocket, and in two hours fook out gold nugpets and dust to the nmount of 10,000, Waoy might havo bad the wholo thing, but ho would not loaye his claim, and, at tho lnat accounts, was still pegring away in tho old place, inde- pendont and poor as ever. All of tho richost gold and silver minos are locuted in the immediato vioinity of the mnin range, and, as a largo amount of snow has fallen, it 18 probable that actlve mining operations will Dot commence until Juue, 'The storm will be Lard on the stock, and it is attogother lilely that a fow hundred hiord of cattlo and shoop will dia of atmvl,uon 3 but it will be a good thing for tho mines, The old lodes, that have been pormittod to lie idle from a scarcity of wator, will be worked ; _and, this . chmacter of lodos are gouerally tho rickost, & big yield of mineral oy bo predictod. Addod to this, & now scnea- tion has brokon out ovor tho discovery of somo VERY RICH GOLD DIGGINGH in the Wind River country, about 100 milos wost of Tort Xearnoy. Miners and othors who havo roturned {rom that viclnity eny that the sand in tho rivers and oreoks fairly ghtters with gold, whilo hugo nuggots and other monsatrosities in the auriferous way aro not uncommon, The Indians aro vory troublosomo, - howaver, and ovory prudont man should maka his will beforo startiog, If tho gold is there, tho Indiane must lonvo: for, botwoon tho lova of gain and tho fonr of losiug n venlp, the pulo-faco is not long in rosching a deoision of n naturo that compels tho noble savago to got out of tho way, or inko his chancoa at stopping Minio-balls, R.

THE FROGRAMME. Tho programmo was admirably well construot~ od, aud .its whale offcct was in the highest dogres pleasing and barmonious. Not ono of the three chief numbers of tho Togramme, Mondolssobn’s “ Oristus " and * ‘rayor,” and Dudley Buck's oar Aly I ““God 1s Our I{M‘uno." bad evor boon publioly porformed In Boston before, excopt Buck's worl, which waa produced not long ago without an or- chgatra by tho Fostor Olub in Roxbury. Mondelssolin’s mototte, **IIear My Diayer,” isa vory brief composition for the soprano and cho- rus—briof, but fluwless, comploto, entire, and perfect. Miss Wynne's tondorness, dollcaoy, and lofty spiritualily in intorproting the soprano musio woro so stirring that oll the mero vocal- iam, flue ns it was, was simply forgotten.

Mr. Dudley Buck’s setling of tho Forty-stxth Pealm, “dod is Our Iiefuge and ‘Strongth,” concluded the concert, The achicvemonts of this yonng composer have alroady attracted muoh attentlon, and sovornl of bis works, no- ticoably tho overtura played at tho last orios of Efsrantfl Bympliony concorts, have found de- cide FAYOR IN THE TUDGMENT OF ORITICS and counoleseurs, 1's production conslsts of eevon numbers, of which thieo are solos, two uartottos, and two solos, written respestively or bass and tonor, The gonoral fontures of the worlk are strongly mprked, and iodi- cato in the author grent fiucucy sad smoothnees of stylo, and unmistakable skill and lenroing 10 tho ‘sciouce of harmouy, with ade- qunte knowledge of the modern orchestra and its capucitios. Thero is lso abundant proof of hia posessing an active fancy; cugeclnlly, and mo:t noticeably, o remarkablo gift for writing graceful flowing melodies. Of thenumbers of the pealm, the opoung chorus, ** God is Our Refuge and Strongth,” is very plonsing, while tho chorus, * Tho Lord of Hosts is with Us,” is, by far, the most brilllant, as well a3 the most solid. Both tho solos are ingeniously writton, and have BWEET, EAR-CATOHING MLLODIES, and that for tho tenor might not be misapplied to Isydn in the poriod of his youth andin his lightest_moods, Thoro is perliaps a lnck of se- verity of style, but, despite all such faults, tho worlt remnins ono of marked beauty and interost, and shows that Mr. Buck can wilto melodios,— fresh, original, dclicious, molodics, or in other words, ho possessos tho grand condition of mu- sical goniua, % TIIE 80L.O PARTS, Tho rolos m tho psalm were artistically given in huost overy case by Mra, Wast, Mise Oary, Mr. J.

It many bo atated, to bogin with, that ho Lias no intontion of forsaking Missouri, in any ovent, or to assumo any position in jour- nalisin olsowhore, If e should fafl of a ro- oloction to tho Sennte o will bo *‘al home " at tho editorial rooms of the Wesiliche Post nftor tho 4th of noxt March, and no journalistio offor can tempt him to entertain the idea of lenving 8t Louis, Dut ho has no present intontion of roturning to the editorlal dosk. Mr, Schurz bo- lloves thnt tho aituation is ripo for the inaugura- tion of an Indopondont Antl-Party, Auti-Mo- nopoly MOVEMENT OF TNE FROPLE, on the broadost busis and under the most com- prebonsive declaration of larlnelplea. Himselt unfottored by obligations, eithor partisnn or par- sonal, to any of the ruling powers, oncupylnlzn nosition that gives instant national lmnort to his declarations, and ntiracts immediate and pro- found nationnl attontion to his uttorances, uo is Justified in tho boliof that he can bear no jm- potout hand in fashioniug the plaus of tle cople, and “FMk with no uncortain tono in giv- E.g volco to the popular thought. 1o thoroforo roposcs, as soon 8 the presont scssion closes, ?o go to Missourd, and@ go to work to organizo the forces which he is persunded are rondy for » triumphant onslaught npon all effate partyism, and only walting for tho sigonl of attack to sweop away the Old and build up the Now in ohtics, ? Mr. Schurz rogards the Anti-Monopoly mova- mont In its predent stagoe na simply an inchoato rovolution, a vast maes of incolerent elemants, that has as yet no nnity of purpose more definile than a vaguo desire for & chango, and_po unan- imity of feeling and sentimont boyond a gencral dissatisfuction with the present state of public affairs, and the geueral will to put things to rights, without any well-dofined, singlo idea as to how to do it. Convorsing wpon this subject, one ovening, with a number of frionds lugh in public and hon- ored in private station, who were visiting at his homo n short timo boforo he wont to Boston, Mr, Schurz romarked that * Thero sometimes camo pariods in o history of & peoplo when thoy were enthusiastio they did mot know oxactly why, and bravely striving for somathing, they did not know oxactly what, 1n & manner thoy did not kuow oxactly how.™ **And these,” ho pursued, “aro always grand and beautiful periods in hstory. Onoof them camo over Germany in 1843, and extonded also over Hungary. Anothor of thom came ovor thus nation at the incoption and during the early struggles of tho Auti-slavory movemont. An- olhor‘is upon us now, in_many respects grander, bronder, and involving thioga of more vital im- port to thio peoplo, thinn ony preceding one, bo- causo it actually involves tho succees of our ex- periment at self government.” ‘Then he went oc to show how our Govern- mont had lost its charactor of rosponsibility to tho governed. until tho fact of IRNESPONSIDLS, ONE-MAN FOWER had well-nigh displaced tho ideaof popular aov- reigaty altogether. A coslition had beon effccted hotween the Monoy Power, which was Monopoly in material affairs, and the Military Power, which had be- como Monopoly in civil affairs; and the two worked togothor for the benofit of each other, profiting the fow, and subdiverling at once interesta of iho many. of tho olections wero no longer awaitod by those in power; they wore foreordnined in conclave. WWhenover the control of national affaits was at stake, no strat- agem wan too violont, no tactics too bigh-hand. ed, to bo called in requisition by those in power to maintain their grip. It was not only natural that scandnlous abuscs shiould exist in the administration of affairs nnder such a disponsa- tion, but it was Inevitable, booauso ~these things were done for tho express purpose of gaining and ratnlninF opportunity to porpotunte the nbuses. Tho managors of tho party in power debauched the bailot-box with tho samo intont that the burglar picked tho bank-lock,—that thoy might gain access to the tronsure-vaulta and plunder thom, Those who now hold power valued it not for its own sake, nor for tho honors of publio station, but for the snko of emoluments, perquisitos, and *chances." Tho yholo motive' that impolled co-oporation botweon tho Monoy-Power snd the Ropublican party managers wns a sordid gresd of woalih that' no amount of gorging could satinto, becnuse Hmdnm'did appetite was one that only grow with feeding. This sort of thing hnd gone on' and on until tho hearts of the peoplo hiad finally beon renched by way of their depleted pockots, and tho resc- tion bad sot in. 'I'ho differenco botween the present situstion and that of twonty yoars ngo wag, that thon the bosoms of the poople wore renched dircctly by a sonso of moral’ wrong wrought upon their fellow-men; whoreas now they woro beiug reached by o senso of matorial wrong wrought upon thomsplves. ‘The question now was not morely, Shall wo resumo spe- cic-paymonts? nor, Shall wo reform the ofvil “servico? nor, Shall we rogulate tho ower of corporations? nor, Shall wo permit gomsinnn to regulato ,ier own affaira? mnor, Shiall wo purge thio Judiviary ? nor, Shall wo ro- duco tho friff? Tho issuo thot is upon us is simpler than any of thoso; vaster than all of thom:: SITALL THE PEOTLE GOVERN THEMSELVES? Tho public mind i8 now called upon to pass Jjudgment, not a8 to who_shall farm out the pat- ronage, but as to how tho rights of the wholo people shall bo protected sgainst the oucroach- ment of & olass. An oligarchy s in power; it is daily contralizing its forces, narrowing its confidentinl limits, draw- ing itsolf aloof from the people, and intrenching itself boyond thoir reach. Itlns alroady struck down Senators, degraded ropre- sontative men of the people, and spurned their coupsels, It hos shown that st will for ovil grows npnco with its growth in facllitp for Jrong-daiugs aud, ovory day that the kreat issue with it is delayed, tho dificulty in dislody- iug it 18 enhanced. Lot no ono be doceived into believing that temporary intornal dissonsions among tho leaders will prove fatal to the oligar- cliy. The coliesive forco that holda it togethor is " that of publio I)lundu\'. and any monnce to the porpotuity of its power will instantly sitonco all tumult in its camp, and turn its united aud biistling tront against aay effort to dislodgo it from tho White Ifonse and tho Treasury. ‘Thoso loaders, united by mutual knowledgoe of onch other's corruption,” will never warupon enoh other whon tho fortunes of tho whole gang are av stake. Thoy can be ousted only by tho peoplo, and a fow moro yoars of popular lothar gy, inaction, and acquiescence may put that consummation beyond possibility. Ioncs, now is the time to act. And Mr, Schurz pronoses to bo at the frontin the aotion. T'hiy is his view of the wsituation, and his concoption of the proper way to grapplo it h{). Schurz lins closoly and oritically watohed tho working of TOLITICAL AFFAIRS IN MIASOURE faor somo time. Decply engrossod as he haa boen, in the discuscions of the Sennte, and busily as bio lins hoen ougaged in the task of reflecling upou his State an honor, and giving to her nime & woight in tho national counsels unenjoyed bo~ fore slnco Bonton's time, he has yet found time to keop up a lively corrospondence and mointaln & keon understandlng = to tho tendonoy of thinga at Jofferson City, in Bt. Louls, and throughout tho Btate at Iarge. Ho belioves that the situation in Missouri is ripe for tho inauguration of n polioy suitablo to, the political thought of tho timo, and in the nae turo of o ploncor movement towards the roor- ganization of partios. Whatover may bo tho aituation In othor States, thoro {s no dangor that Mussourt will roturn to the embrace of Repub- licanlsm of the Adminigtration strlpe when she desorts Democraoy of tho Bourbon strlpo. That i ono of tho things that Missourl bas had sitr- felt of for ull timo, The oxperionce of the last two vears has demonstrated that * Democraoy,” a8 interpreted by thoss who bavo muuaged fo uswp tho sdvantuges of ita supromaocy in Missourl, diffors from its prodecossor in name aud professions rathor than in faot and dved. Hence Missouri is moro favarably situated than any othor State for dotermined offort to throw off the yoke of purtyismn altogether, to deolare Lior indnpondance of tho rings, both at Washing- ton nnd nt, Jefforson, And to ropudiate tho away of tho place-holders, both Federal and loeal. This s substantially Senator Bohurz' viow ot tho situation as ho has stated it to tho Republi- can's Washington ropresontative at various timos, and this publiontion of his viows and purposes 18 not unanthorizod, Mr, Bohurz dosires to ro- turn to tho Bennte, 5 WHAT 18 AT ATARE, * He belloves that tho legislation of the noxt six yonra will bo fraught with import more vital to thentability of our Institutions and tho preser- vation of -popular liberty than that of any other opoch in our Listory. Ho thinks that In the noxt o1x yenrs will be docided tho quostion whother or not the powor of aggrogated and nggrossivo capltal hns reachod & point which amounts ‘to tho practical subjugation of tho pooplo, In other words, that during that perfod will -bo fought out in 4o forum the ntrug‘fla betweon o monoyeu” aristocracy and & Jo- boring commonalty, that haa alrandy bogun, and with no nucortain line of combat. 1o also hollovesthat in tho noxt six yenrs will bo docided tho Tmuuon whotlier or_not, in subdu- iug'the rebollion, the nation unwittingly subju- goted iteolf, by giving to tho military iden n pracedonco over the eivil iden, which tho arts of eaco rmvu unavalling to sbako off. Having con of the firat fo reant the dangers that aro iuvolvedin theso issues, and having boen of the foromoat to assnil Monopoly, both moneyed and milltary, it is most natural that Mr. Schinrzeliould distike'Lio iden of rotiriog from tho flold of conflict now jnst us the fray docpens, Dut it is not a4 & " vindiention of lifs course ™ that Mr, Bchurz desires a re-olaction to the Senats, That isan interprotation of popular oxpression which ho s willing to leavo wholly with tho ndhorents ‘of the Administration, who aro welcomo to tho copyright thoy scom to have put upon it. Ho dosirea to roturn beeause Lo feels {hint; in the onsning struggle, hocan bonr astrong band, and speak with o voico that will be of onhancod advantago to the nation and his Btate, by reason of tho experience and culture in stato- craft that ho has gatherod during the torm now drawing to a closo, . AN IDEA OF INDEPENDENOE. 44 If Missonrs scuds me to the Honato,” he says, ‘I shall alm to glve her valuo received in thoshape of servicos. I simply want to bo placed whero I can do the moat good,” I do not coro to sit in the Honato, howevar, a8 tho roprosentative of any organization which is liable to fall inlo the hands of onaset of party-managors ono yoar and anothor the noxt, mennwhilo obligntiog mo to subserve thelr purposcs, minister to thelr convonience, and cke out their schemes. I do not rolish tho idea of being o BSonatorinl pack-mule to carry the jobs of any set of parti- 8ans or tho monetres of auy Adminiatration,— being valued sololy with referenco to my doail- ity, and the capacity of my back to ondure the burden. #Thus, if my return to tho Sonate bo contin. gont upon ;mmlses and_bargains, Ishaoll not come back, If, for tho sake of a re-olection, I must mortgage six years of my future, why then you 'will find me at home whonever, during office-hours, you may chanco to call at tho editorinl rooms of tho Weslliche Post aftor tho 4th of next March. * “But I am frank Lo say thatIshall make » good, strong effort to convince the people of Misgourl that it will bo to our mutunl advantago if 1 am ro-olected to the Scnato noxt winter, and sont back to Washington without instructions and unlampered by promigos. I am willing to make ono genoral promise, and that is, that nothing that is right shall evorfall unsupported, and nothing. that is wrong shall ever rise unas- sailed by me, according to the best light thore may be to judgo by, as to right and wrong.” IN AGCOND WITI THE NEW MOVEMENT. This is substantially tho position of Carl Schurz upon the coming Bonatorial canvass in Miseouri, o is thoroughly in_ accord with tho movement of which tho Republican is now the spokesman and engineer; that is to say, the movoment of tho pooplo against the effectivo par- tyism thatiaintrenchied under one namo at Wash- ington, snd under_anothor at Jefferson City. From tho preront Domocratic party organization ho noithor nsks nor oxpects a re-election : no moro would ho ask or expect it from aa Adminis- tration Leglslnture, if such a contingency wora within the possibilitios. And, if tho pooplo should rotura a simon-purg partisan majority of oithor of tho uxisfin[;']mrlicu to the Legislature, Mr, Schurz will regard that fact as an itimation that Miseouri has no further neod of his sorvices m tho Sonnto. As soon as the indopondent pop- ular movement appears in the flold, with a plat- form and ticket in accord with tho logic of its existonco, Mr. Schurz will be on hand very oatly and will stay very Into o8 its advocato and sup- {mner. It isnot Lis intention to take any ac- Ivo part in the preliminary management of tho movements or of its convontion. ~But when the people have indlcated their purpoze by tho tonor of their declarations and tho character of their nominntions, bo will givo them the aid of his Lost sorvicos in the ranks to win tho battlo. After it slll be won, he will ask them whother or not they bave further use for him in tho United Stales Senate. I they fail noxt fall, howover, Lo will be on hand to try ngain at the first recurring opportunity, and again and again, g0 long na thero may bo ueed of struggle,or hope in it, That is to eay, Mr. Schurz wishes to be un- dorstood ns commltted to tho cause of tho Poo- ple against Rings, agamst Oligarchies, against Monopolies, and in favor of honcat govornment, purity of clections, and tho responsibility of tha goveruing to tho governed. Ho has takon his stand on this platfoim for botter or for worae, in success or in defeat, and for all time to como. And ho asks to be judged acovrding to tho stren- uousness of his offorts and the morit of his ser- vices. IIe will probably tako occasion to elabo- rato in the Sonato tho position that has boon roughly sketchied in this lotter. —_— INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
