But “Steve,” who is one of the kings of the Plains, soon masters the situation, and two expert packers tie on the boxes, the bundles and the tents—all that will smooth our way during the severe campaign of “this summer. At noon, Dr. Hayden having not yet completed nis arduous bureau labors in Denver, it was decided that we should move. Westward lay our course, and, piloted by Mr. James Stephen- son, the accomplished Executive ofiicer of the ex- “Hadition, we soon left Denver in the plain below, trotting up the valley of the ‘Piatte ward the “back bone of the Continent.” Happy were we to leave that wild city, where almost every other Store isa grogshop, “ keno hall or dance basement.

They say that before the railroads were built they had plenty of money and plenty of work. Now the railroads have depressed wages and bave usurped the functions once exercised by expert men and at liberal wages, Stock raising has also declined; and if ican believe all I hear, Colorado does not contain many contented men.

The British Premier’s Assault on Ministerial Mutineers. to T ond His Apprehension of Trouble in | Europe. THE WAR ON RITUALISM. {London (August 5) correspondence of Manches- ter Guardian.) The onslaught of Mr. Disraeli upon Lord Salls- bury bas caused a leeling akin to alarm in the conservative clubs, The fear bgg been spreading for some time past that the Cabinet has not been thoroughly united, and there was a strong reac- tionary minority, headed by Lord Salisbury, Whom the Premier nas found difficult to keep under con- trol. To-day’s speech of Mr. Disraeli, aud one or two incidents in the changeful history of some of the government proposals during the past few weeks, are viewed as confirmations of that fear. At any rate, it is perfectly evident that the old wound inflicted by the retirement of Lords Salisbury and Carnarvon and General Peel has not yet healed, and there 18 not one fan in ten who believes that Lord Salisbur will continue to remain in office alter to-day’s criticisms by his political chief, There 18 a subdued feeling Ol disappointment in the conservative | Tanks that the session has not been so fruitful as it might have been, and the want of accord which is now exhibited between the Premur and the most powerful member of his Cabinet adds to the anxieties of the moment. It would almost seem that this year’s session will, like that of last year, be jollowed by changes in the Ministry. It wasa singular circumstance in the day’s proceedings that no sooner had Mr. Disraeli concluded itis criticising of his colleague than he leit the House, in order to attend the Ministeriai fish dinner at Greenwich; but at the last moment he was obliged to forego being present.
