Mr. Chalmers proceeded that Democrats didu’t intend to build up | the Republican party by warring on the President. He justified the re- turning board prosecutions in lsw, resson and justice. The man who took up arms in defense of constitu- tional law was certainly no worse & | traitor than the one who robbed the people of the fruits of elective viciories.

By Cable to theChicags Tribun». London, February 26.—Rusela h: mads another move toward Con- stautinople. The Grand Duke Nich. olas yesterday occupied San Stefauo, a village about ten miles west of Constantinople on the tes of Mar- mora. At the same time reports of Raussia’s terms of peaco are circulst— ing, which show that no leniency cau be expected. Bulgaria will reach to Sslonica, and will be oceupied by 50 000 Rus sian: for two years. The amount of indemuity demanded is enormous, amounting to more than Krance paid to Germany, besides immense cessions of territory. A demand for the Turkish fl:et was pressed at first, but it is stated that the Sultan made such STRONG 0BJECTIONS that this point was temporarily waived. A Constantinople corres- pondent telegraphs that this is all & piece of by.piay between Russia and Turkey to ses whether any for- eign power will resist the cession of the Turkish fleet to Russia. 1t has been RUSSIA'S POLICY to accustom the world gradusily to her exactions, and it 13 noticeable that eventually he always gets ex- actly what she first demanded. It may therefore be expecied that Russia will finally obiain possession of Tarkey’s best vessels, and will thus con‘rol the Black Sea, for as 1 telegraphed several weeks aco, Rnssia propases tocloss the Dardan. clles AGAINST ALL WAR BHIPS, a3 heretofore.

Georgetown, February 23.—Soon the great rush of excursionists will be swarming among the mountains of the west seekiug pleasure and health, Now that the Union Pacific com- pany has access to these beautiful canyons and valleys and peaks, through the Colorado Central rail- road, they will, no doubt, be wise in 1ssuing excursion tickets, that pas- sengers may leave the main line at Cheyenne and, after visiting here, raturn to renew their journey on the continentai line. 1t is a pleasant ride, near the foot hills from Cheyenne to Denver,and there are points to switch off from this road and vieit the coal canyons near. + At Longmont station, the high peak of that name, is near aud easy of access. Seen from the plains from great distanges, 1t stands out in bold relief, s land mark that 13 admired by every holder. Go to the top, and the view is in- deed grand, as the eye tekes in the immense ranges, and peaks, with their ever snow elad brows. Pass on to Loveland and Boulder, and visit the canyous of the Thomp- son and Boulder, and eojoy the beautifal waterfalls of the later. Near the town of Boulder the coal mines will be of interest to those who wish to investigate the mode of mining.

In the Park hunting and fishing may be enjoyed amid the besuties of pature. A nde back down Clear ereek to the Forks and then up the South Fork, or a drive or walk of six miles, passing over a high ndge, and down Virginia canyon, brings us to Idaho Springs, with its fine mineral waters and bathe, with & fiue hotel scon to be built. Embarkiug on the Colorado Cen- tral railroad, Georgetown brauch, we pass up Clear creek to George- town. Here we find s small city sur. rounded with very high mountains ~—so0 high that the sunshine is shut off much of thetime. While Gilpin county ores are principally gold, in Clear Creek county, of which Georgetown 13 the business centre, the ores are mostiy silver, and the mills are different and will well re- pay a visit, Gray’s Peaks, Middle Park and other places of resort are reached from here, while immediately near {s Stiver Plume, Brownsvillsand the many loog tunnels and deep mines.

Postal Saving Banks, Washington, D. €., Feb. 27.—The Rouse banking and currency sub- committee has agreed to the postsl savings bank bill. The whole com. mittee will doubtlesa adopt, and will probably soon report to the House. None of the bills referred to the Committee have been accepted, but the bill ag;eed upon is comy.osed of each.

ANOTHER COAL DISCOVERY. Yosterday we chartered s double- seated carriage aud a toam of fast- flyers; we had no ides when we orderad them that auy such rig was aceessible in this town of the prair- ies, but Homsn's stable, with ull its ressurces could mot curpass for ease and swiftness the cutfit, which our landlord of the Sanders Bouse (the best hotel in this part of the State) brought forth trom his well stockod stable.

A few chairs, a bench, & stove and a bed make an inventory of tLe furniture. we were cordially welcomed by & pleasant, intelligent woman, with & preity baby. Tbie was Mrs, Miner, and from her we obtained the coal story, which 1s very similar to that told by tie discoverer of the Sutton coal mige, and we do not doubt but that this is the same vein that has been struck in the more western lo- cality. Iu June, 1876, Mr. Miner sunk & well on his homestead, to the depth of 120 feet.
