Itch an (Mont.I Letter. Hiding horseback across tnc main divide of the Rockies in that wonderfttl expanse of the mountains called Montana, 1 came nl sunset in sight of a flume that ran for miles nlong tne spurs bordering a barren valley. To the south lay an alkali plain, dotted here and there with hunches of coarse sedge, nnd heaped with gravel. All around t hi hills lay piled, with here anil there an isolated butte, independent of any range nnd sloping on every side from its bare, rock peak to the hollows which hemmed it in. A swampy creek struggled along the valley. The Boh Jennings ledge, with tltc ore front which 1 was to try my new process of amalgamation, nnd the cabin to which i had been directed for shelter could not be far away. The miners of Prickly I’car Canon hail been none too friendly, but there had been a cordial unanimity in t heir recommendation that I pass my second night out on the journey to the railroad in “Bob Jennings’ cabin. ’ I was to know when to look for it by the great flume.

Wa iiinoton, August 31.— One of the most striking chapters of the democratic campaign hand hook, n nv in press, will be that which is devoted to the defalca tions of republican officeholders. It has been prepared with great care and much labor from the official figures, anil makes a more damaging showing than was even anticipated. The chapter is headed, “Opening the books," and vindicates a promise long made by tin; dem icracy to tlie people ot the country, it is as follows: “The democratic party, t hrough its press nnd by its speakers, declared tor the past ten years publicly, that if it could turn the rascals out and get at the hooks they could demonstrate Unit the republican party, in its long lease of power, had, through its various officers, by defalcation in its collec tions and disbursements, stolen millions of tin: people’s money. Mr. Tilden, in 187'), claimed the amount to lie over $5,000,000. The amount will reach $10,000,000 or more.” Under a resolution of the democratic house, passed January ill, and which was called up aguin July 27 by the Hon. Ben ton McMilfin, of Tennessee, just previous to the adjournment of the forty-ninth con gress, tilt* acting secretary of the treasury transmitted, in a letter to the house of rep resentatives, “executive document No. 303, forty-ninth congress, first session,” in which it is shown officially that the bal ances now duo the government, on account of defalcations in disbursements and col lections since 18U1, is $13,8!)3,*170.48. In this document ’ BACH DELINQUENT IS NAMED, and the exact amount duo the govern ment stated.

The records will show that since the democratic administration took hold, as is good luck lor the wrapped myself in blankets and went to sleep in a corner. In an hour or two 1 awoke. 1 could hear the drip of the water from tlie Hume and the melancholy rustling of the great pines on top of tlie ridge in llie freezing wind which swept along tin* heights. A horror of silence seized me, and the champing of my horse in tin* grass was an inexpressible relief to my ear. j imagined the cabin, half roofless’ as it was, smelt musty, and I carried my blankets into the open air and lay out'under the stars. Then I fell Into a sleep, vexed by strange dreams and troubled with a terror of slippery heights and treacherous ledges. At lasl tlie sunshine wakened me. Be fore another night, thank heaven, 1 w.iuTd be safe out of the wilds. Hastily picking out« number of specimens of the ore, I put them iu my knapsack and prepared to getaway. 1 was splitting pieces of What was left of tlie door to kindle my breakfast fire, when a weather-beaten fellow, in the coarse, half-glazed canvas peculiar to miners, rode around the edge of the hill on ti broncho. His pick and pan, swung behind him, were muddy with recent usage. He was evidently more at home than I. lie looked at me with interest, nnd then looked at tlie cabin. I followed his glance nnd could hardly recognize the corner where 1 had first lain down. The debris of the disintegrated ledge, which had al ready wrecked the building, bad slid further during the night and crushed in the remaining rafters. He seemed amused. “1 never slept in there Inn once,” he said. “That was enough. And I was almost as much sur prised tin* next morning as you are. That was Rob Jennings' cabin: he was the first mail t hat ever prospected hereabouts for quartz." I invited the stranger down from his broncho, and he fell to quite readily at my bacon and bread. There is not much cere mony in a desert. “Jennings wns the* only man in the camp,” my guest went on, “who wasn't crazy to pan out gold dust from gravel. He stuck it out that there must be lode \\ here so much dust had washed down.
