THE SILVER STATE.
’9’frnrftda*..ttctopwr *8, 1880.
A CARD FROM. MR. DVNN.
On the 26tb. instant, it was asserted
j® these columns, upon the authority of
Austin correspondent, that Mr. Dag*
gatt, candidate for Congress, was taken
tp Austin from Battle Mountain on a
special train, and that Mr. Daggett,
while pretending to.be an anti-railroad
man, ran ahead of, has ticket at Carlin,
where the railroad;,shops are located.
Mr. F. W. Dunn, Assistant General
Superintendent of the Nevada Central
Railway, denies in a card, that Mr.
Daggett traveled from Battle Mountain
to Austin on a special train. Th^t of
oourse the Assistant General Superin
tendent of the,Nevada Central Railway
has a perfect r,ght to do, if it is so, but
He goes beyoud the limits of fairness,
when he asserts that Mr. Cassidy, wha.
had no ir.qre to do with the corres
pondence than the Assistant General
Superintendent must retract the
abatement,- Mr. Cassidy, who was in
the southwestern part of the State,
when the correspondence was published,
had no. knowledge whatever of the
matter, and why he should have to re
tract what he was not responsible for,
or be considered by the Assistant Gen
eral Superintendent, of, the Nevada
Central Railway an unfit person to rep
resent Nevada in Congress, io- beyond
the comprehension of ordinary mortals,
who are not, yet educated up to the be
lief that corporations are infallible as
well as all-powerful. In justice to the
Nevada Central Railway and to Mr.
Daggett, whom we have no desire to
misrepresent, we publish Mr. Donas
card, but injustice to Mr. Cassidy, Mr. !
Dunn should not have sunk the rail
way official in the partisan, and attempt
to hold him responsible, for that which
he knew nothing about.
GARFIELD'S CHINESE LETTER.
Eastern exchanges containing the al-1
Jcged letter of Garfield on the Chinese
ftaestion are arriving. They place it in
a. very different light from the Associa
ted Press... That, partisan . institution,
said that no such man as. H. L. Morey
ever lived in Lynn, Massachusetts, and
that no such. organization ai the Em
ployers’ Union ever existed in that
place. John Pope Hodnett; President
of the Upited Labor League o£ America,
aiys the Employers’ Union of Lynn,
Massachusetts, is an organization of
boot s,jjd shoe manufacturers, estab
1 shed after the ratification of the Bur
lingame Treaty in 18G8, to import
Chinese labor into Massachusetts, and
employ it in the manufacture oi boots
and shoes to replace thousands of white
men in the business. The first impor
tation of these Chinese were taken to
•South Adams, Massachusetts, andthtjre
employed at shoe making, by the Em
ployers’ Union, of which the late H. L.
Morey, to whom the Garfield letter was
addressed, was President.
JNow jvuat are tl*e people going to no
about the letter? The Associated Preps
says it is not genuine, apd denies that tljprcr.
vas such a man as M-prey, or such jrn
organization as- the Employers’ Union
at Lynn. On the-other hand, Hodnett
President of the Lflhor league, says them
is such an organization as the Employ
ers' LTpioa at Lynn, and that Morey
was President of it. Truth, in whiah
tipi,letter was published, says it isgeaw
iue. apd publishes a fac, simile of the
letter.. It also publishes what purports
to be Garfield’s denial of the letter, and
says it is false, and courts - prosecution
lor libel, sp that the genuineness of
Garfipld’s signature cau be proved iu the
courts, Instead of suing Truth for
libel and forgery, however, Garfield’s
friends content theiuselves, with offer
ing a reward for tfie detection.of what
they call a forger, knowing full well as
Truth says, that they will never be
called to pay it, as it is not a forgery.
Wq should be inclined to doubt the
gepnjuauess of the lot tor, were it not
for the fact .that Garfield-voted to sus
tain the President’s veto o£,the Chinese
bill, and only last week in an interview
with- bis homo paper,, the Cleveland
Leader, admitted that he is in favor of
Chinese, tu the extent implied ju the
alleged forged letter to Morey.
Later, reports say that ona of the
editors of Truth has been arrested for
mshuious libel,
W. K. Forster, Home Secretary for
Itc-Und, denies the report that he hail
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS..
Major Henry Hanpock, of.' Isae
Angeles, Cal., furnishm the following
refutations of a sensational story pub
lished in the San Francisco papers over
the signature of G. S< Gilbert, charging
that General Hancock, then Quarter*
master at Los Angeles, did, with the
aid of. United States troops, in 1839 or
1860, dispossess him of .an oil refinery,
thereby causing him to. lose 86,000 or
87,000. The Major says: “John Han
cock, of El Dorado county, Cal., has
owned one-thjrd of the Rancho La
Brea since 1860. 1 have had charge of
my brother's interest ever since, and
hava myself since purchased the other
two-thirds interest, and have resided at
the Asphaltum Springs almost continu
ously since 1863. The United States
patent was issued in 1873. Gilbert
never ownod a square inch of the land.
He never had .an oil refinery there, or
bored any oil well. I know he under-,
took to pre-empt at or near the spring.
The only oil refinery ever there was one
of \\*illiam Howard and Benj. Dreyfus
in 1836, Howard then owning two
thirds of the rancho afterwards bought
by mo (Henry Hancock). One Mr.
Sevenoaks did undertake, about 1865,
to start a distillery near the spring, but
failed and abandoned it.” It may be
added that Major Hancock resided on a
rancho near La Brea from 1856 till 1S65,
when he moved to La Brea Rancho.
A dispatch friiaa Cincinnati, Ohio*
says: The reigning sensation in politi
cal world is still Oarfield’s Chinese
letter. But little stock is taken in his
denial of authenticity. The Republi
can organs suddenly find themselves
placed on the defensive, and have to
come down from the lofty attitude as
sumed after the October election. They
denied the existence of Morey and the
Employers’ Union of Xynn, but report
ers have investigated the mattdr and
find that Morey did live there and was
the agent of the Employers’ Union.
Mower, of Mower Bjos., Lynn, shoe
makers, has been interviewed, and
said: “My brother ami myself were
members of the Employers’ Union. The
Union did certainly exist. Everybody’
in Lynn knows it, and it is nonsense to
•deny it. We formed a union or com
bination of employers to protect our
selves against the strikers. We rented
a roam as a place of meeting, in which
the Union held meetings, discussed the
situation and formed our plans as to
w'nat we had best do to protect our
interests. There cacobe no question as
to the existence of the Employers’
Union in Lynn during the labor troubles
of 1S77-8. I wa3>a member of it and
know it existed.” '
wreat uneerta ucy exists .at sue state
Department in regard to the circum
stances of tint apprehension of James
Redpath in Ireland. No knowledge of
the facts being at hand as yet, it would
be impossible.-to say what would ho
done, as the diplomatic action would be
controlled entirely by the circum
stances as shown to exist; hut on one
> point there could he no doubt, that it
quietly pursuing, his professional voca
tion as a newspaper correspondent, he
would be protected, if he is an Ameri
can citizen. If; however, he should be
found to have been guilty of seditious
conduct, in open violation of the Er.g
lish law, England would have undoubt
ly the right tq dcaiwith him .accord
ingly
It will be recollected that about a
month ago Dr. Talbot, a prominent
citizen of Marysville, Mo., and editor
of a greenback paper published in that
place, was shot through the window of
his residence and killed, while retiring
for the night. Tuesday hi3 son, Albert
Talbot, was arrested cu. a charge of
committing the murder, ami Mrs. Tal
bot—wife of Dr. Kd. Talhcfc, another
son—and a hired man were arrested as
accomplices. The preliminary exami
uary examination, took place yesterday
at Marysville.
Dr. \V. W. Rowan, one of the wit
nesses in the lierry affair, at the Ute
Agency, pronounces the statement that
two companies of- militia had gone to
the reservation, toe aid the Sheriff in
making arrests, as untrue, and says it
would have been foolhardy, as the In
dians were on the alert, and knew every
movement of the State officials. He
further says that they had orders to
send a detail to escort the messenger
with the $7<r>,000 of Ute money to the
Agency, but the order was recalled be
fore he left; so he thinks the money
was returned, to Washington. He says
Berry is en route from the Agency to
I Denver, and that the acoounta of the
trouble have been greatly exaggerated. ,
In his 8 pee all at Syracuse, New York,
Abram S. Hewitt said he did not think
that the body of the alleged Garfield
! letter was in Garfield’s handwriting,
but he considered tbe signature to he
genuine, and said that Garfield did not
deny its gennineness,.
At the instance of the National Re
publican Committee, II. L. Pelonze,
: Republican nominee for Congress in the
' Third District of Virginia, has beer. -
withdrawn, and the Republican voters
requested to vote for JohuiS. West, the .
1 Readjustcr candidate.
Hon. 12. D. Mansfield, died at his
residence near Morrow, Ohio, yester
! day, at an advanced age. He has been
j widely known as a political and general
writer for the Cincinnati. Gazette and
New York papers.
The registration in OtJnver, Colorado, •
chows immense frauds, the total nmn
, ber registered, 17.035, being twice the
! number of -, actual voters. The total
i population is only 30,000.
Kenuard Phelps, an editorial writer
on New York Truth, was arrested yes
| terday for malicious libel, not for pub
lishing the alleged forged letter.
| The loss by the burning of the An
conia Clock Works in New York, is es
| timated at over half a in>llion.
Tile infernal machine as to which
Robert A. Rarrish, a Philadelphia law
yer, has bean found guilty of assault
with intent to kill, was elaborately con
structed of four gun barrels, weights,
cords, sand paper, and matches, and
was placod in his desk in such a way
that the opening of a drawer would
cause an explosiou. Parrish occupied
an office with other lawyers, and he
believed that somebody was in the
habit of opening his desk. Some of the
papers in one o? His suits were of great
consequence, and he wished to make
sure of their safety. So he put them
into the drawer with the destructive
contrivance and locked them up. An
office hoy, who knew nothing of this,
stepped on the desk to close a window,
and the pressure set the,machine going.
The barrels wane heavily charged with
bullets, one of which wounded the boy
seriously. Mr. Parrisli has been a
practitioner forty years, and has an ex-.
I cellent reputation. The impression is
that he will be lined, and not inipris
’ oned. _
