1 REPUBLICAN OFFICE HOLDEB.
General Henry G. Worthington, who
was elected to Congress in Nevada, in
ISGi, at the first State election, recent
■ ly declared for Hancock and English,
and says he intends to support them
without severing his connection with
*■ rhe Republican party. This display of
independence on the part of General
Worthington has soured the temper ®f
the Virginia Enterprise, and caused it
to abuse the General in unmeasured
terms. Worthington was appointed
' United States Judge for a term, and
subsequently was Commissioned Col
lector of the Port of Charleston, South
'-Carolina. The Ehterprise, in> its anger,
denounces him as a carpetbagger, yet
four years ago it was treason, in the
* Vipinion of that paper, to call any of the
Federal office holders in the South a
• "carpetbagger.” The Enterprise fur
ther asserts that “during his residence
ijj Nevada his only business was politi
cal, and that he was nominated for Con
'■ gjMSsman in Nevada through one of
<thoso circumstances of geography that
! 'usually occur in Nevada State Conven
tions.”
This implies that locality, notability,
ia the test by which candidates are
judged in Nevada State Conventions.
As the writer of this article happened
. - to be a delegate to the Convention
which nominated Worthington for Con
l greas, he, perliaps, knows as much
about the manner in which bis nomi
' cation was procured as the editor of
' the Enterprise, There were three men
placed in nomination for Congress:
James A. Banks, of Humboldt; Thomas
Fitch and Harry Worthington. A nom
ination in those days was equivalent to*
an election, and the politicians all
worked- for Worthington, whom they
’ represented to be one of the ablest
men and purest patriots in Nevada.
Fitch did not receive a vote, and James
A. Banks, as sincere a Republican and
as pure a man as ever lived in the State,
was defeated by eight or nine votes.
' ti the Enterprise then had said what it
- now says of Worthington, it would
have been denounced as a Copperhead
sheet, in full sympathy with the seces
sionists. That Worthington was in
high favor at Washington is proved
fcy the fact that he was ap
pointed Judge of a Federal Court in
1 South Carolina, and afterwards given
• the lucrative position of Collector of
• the port of Charleston; where, as his
correspondence with John J,. Patterson,
v the corrupt carpet-bag United States
<•!• Senator shows, lie was intrusted with
• all the secrets of the party, and advised
' the politicians where to station troops
to intimidate voters at the polls. Had
• Worthington continued in the Repub
lican fold and pronounced for Canfield,
the Enterprise would denounce as rebel
lies what it now says of hi3 career as a
politician. As it admitted in its argu
,- ment with the Carson Appeal on the
- the candidacy of Sharon, the fact of
ki3 being a Republican should restrain
all “truly loil” papers and speakers
from exposing his short-comings. The
Enterprise never charges a prominent
: member of , its party with wrong-doing
so long as he supports the ticket.
'• A QUESTION OP VERACITY.
7 State Treasurer Crockett has not yet
received a certificate of good character
V from all the members of the*Board of
Examiners. In the first published re
1 port the Board he was exonerated
• r from ail blame for depositing State
\ funds in the lleno Savings Bank, of
which he wa3 Vico President, though
the Board admitted that lie had made
a mistake. Shortly after that report
•* was made public, Attorney General
Murphy, ono of the members of the
Board, denied in a card that ho con
curred in the report* as stated by the
other, members of the Board. This de
nial was followed by a card from Gov
ernor Kinkoad, and Secretary of State
i Babcock, most emphatically reaffirming
and asserting that he, the Attorney
‘•General, did not onlj concur in the re
port, but also authorized them to state
*< publicly.
Now the Attorney General, in a sec
Ottd card, which is very wordy as well
as windy, partially, admits that ho did
• concur, or at least was willing to do so,
with the other members of tho other
Board,,in acquitting; the State Treas
urer of “evil intent,” but denies that
he authorized anyone to append his sig
nature to the card of the Governor and
Secretary of State, exonerating the
State Treasurer from intent to defraud
tlie State. As the preponderance of
evidence, as the lawyers say. is against
the Attorney General, it is useless for
him to deny that he did not concur in
the report of the Board as published,
and the public must necessarily decide
the case against him.
But, aside from the question of vera
city involved in the controversy, there
is something else that ought to be ex
plained in the Attorney General’s letter
replying to the card of Governor Kin
kead and Secretary Babcock. In that
letter he says:
I ask Mr. Crockett, in my report,
how it wa3 that on tlie 14th day of
June, 1880, he had, as State Treasurer,
the sum of §7,047 45 in the Keno Sav
ings Bank, anil yet we found in the
State Treasury the amount of money
called for by the Controller’s books?
Has he explained?
This places the Treasurer in an awk
ward position. He claims that the
sack of coin which he took from the
Reno Bank, on the day it collapsed,
belonged to the State and not to the
creditors of the Bank. Now, the At
torney General, one of the members of
the Board of Examiners, says the
Board found in the State Treasury at
that time, all the money called for by
the Controller’s books. If that is a
fact, tlie money which the State Treas
urer took from the Reno Bank could
not belong to the State, anil is in reali
ty a part of the assets of the broken
bank. Mr. Crockett has evidently got
into a very ugly predicament. If the
money which he took, from the bank
belonged to the State, he violated the
plain letter of. the- law;, and if it did
not, it belongs to the creditors of the
Ehnk.
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.
The New York Heralil says- of |the
Hancoek-Sherman letters published
yesterday: It is worthy of observation
that althongh Sherman is a Republican
and Hancock a Democrat, the corres
pondence shows no marked discrepancy
in their views of the relation of the
army to political questions, We have
reason to be proud of the intelligence,
candor, friendliness and fidelity to each
other of the higher officers of our army;
and if our politicians were equally con
siderate and mutually respectful and
governed by a3 high a sense of honor,
wo might escape the disgusting abuse
and scandals of our heated Presidential
elections.
The body of an unknown woman, ter
ribly beaten and bruised, was found yes
terday in a secluded ravine two miles
north of Sidney, Ohio. A post-mortem
revealed that the woman would shortly
have been delivered of twins. William
Curtis, a canal watchman, has been ar
rested on suspicion, it being thought
that the dead woman was cook on his
canal boat. The place of the murder
showed signs of a fierce struggle, and
tile woman's clothing wa.3 torn and
scattered about.
Thar Wo Chung, if she enters the port
of San Francisco, will have to juny tax
and duties imposed by law, but this can
be done under protest; and should it
subsequently appjar that they were not
justly exacted, then the Secretary of
the Treasury will be authorized to re
fund them.
A steamer sailed from Hamburg,
Wednesday, with $10,0(X) in specie for
the United States, and $315,000 in gold
arrived in New York yesterday from
Europe.
Mr. Sharon’s organs in the western
part of the State continue to yelp at
Oeneral Clarke, like hungry coyotes,
for expressing his opinion as an inde
pendent voter on. the political issues of
the day. Instead of attempting to re
futo the arguments advanced by Lien
cral Clarke, they simply abuse him for
expressing his sentiments. In tlioir
opinion, it is iro crime for Congressmen
.to accept bribes from lobbyists, but it
is an unpardonable oiFense for (General
Clarke or any one else to expose their
rascality.
