J. MADISON WELLS' LETTER LIABLE
TO "TAKE TROUBLE.
(!!ik-ai, PV1. '20. A Jouninl Washington
Huiri;il pays: Lxnusiaiwi politicians say tliat J.
.Madison Wells' letter is sure to make trouble,
and he is curtain to be challenged by some of
the men whom he has hold up to the public
Kaiii'. It is their belief that the letter was
written on pinjMiKU to provoke a quarrel and
induce some ot the persons named to send a
challenge to Veils. Ellis' statement that the
President would not interfere with the Re
turning Board's pr isecution is regarded as
not likely to t irengthen him with the Repub
lican party, since it came through a Demo
crat and 13 calculated to encourage the Dem
ocrats to continue the ti-ia' . Secretary
Sherman's course is watched with interest,
and it is regarded problematical whether he
will remain in the Cabinet long.
There is a straightforward path in this
world of poli'ics, religion, faith and works
which, when (aken is never to be misappre
hended by all observers
sued Ty persons " ho an

A man oi true
heroism, who prefers that which is clean and
honorable, uiuv:iiiahio r.nd pure, will sacri
fice ''imseif, aye, and even his own life, before
he will be found doing that which is unclean,
snspKi'ovs and demoralizing. We do not be
lieve that a man of high and sensitive feel
ings would e msent to occupy the Presidency
of this Republic under the circumstances sur
rounding RV. Hayes's incumbency of that
itliec. If Anderson and Wells may be law
fully cons:; ned to prison for the part they
t' ok Hi oiiieciS of the Returning Board ef
liouisana, Rutherford B Hayes is the re
ceiver and holder au 1 u.... r and wearer of sto
len honors. The receiver is as bad as the
thief. As dreadful a calamity as could befall
this nation would be the reinstatement in
power f the Democratic party ; but a worse
calamity than an avowed Democrat in the
White House is that of a professed Republi
can holding the Presidency iu so much ''swa;
acknowledged by himself so to be.
We do
not believe that Samuel J. Tilden was elected
to the '''residency in 187'J; but Hayes's every
act ad; its that he was. The very fact that
Congn ssman Eilis of Leuisana has his ear in
partnership with a dozen other rebel briga
diers, is a sufficient evi knee of Hayes's un
mitigated, shameless perfidy. And his bosom
friend mid predecessor in the Gubernatorial
eh: . Ohio, Jacob D. Cox, voted on Wed
ne with t!i;i Democrats to unseat Chester
P.. Da. rell of Loii'sana who received 12,('2G

his Den. -cralio tipponeid, who received but
l:t,r;n vt.s- -a deficit of more than two
thousand ballots! And Republicans are asked
to pin their faith on Rutherford B. Hayt 8
ai.d his political friends and associates!
THAT BARGAIN.
The San Francisco Bulletin is one of the
fairest and most truthful of the Republican
organs on this eoast. Alluding to the bargain
by which the vote of Louisiana was given to
Haves, it says:
There can bo but little doubt that if there
was anything secret in the late Presidential
t lection will have to tome out. In this
countr public men cannot long deal in insin

HOME MATTERS.
A Chinaman named Ah Chuey being under
arrest in Virginia City on a charge of murder
committed at Reno, another Chinaman offered
policeman Byrne a large sum of money to al
low him to substitute another man in the place
of the accused part'. Byrne refused and in
formed Chief Breen of what had transpired.
Brcon then took the business in hand and
started for Reno with the prisoner. And now
it appears that the Chinaman who is iu jail in
Reno for the alleged crime is the wrong man.
And so there is a direful bobbery; the two
Chinese factions are agog; Frank Drake is on
the rampage; and Chief Breen and Lawyer
Cowie, (the Chinaman's counsel) are under
arrest. Some crookedness somewhere, evi
dently. Rover was buried in the Catholic cemetery
at Reno. But a very few people attended the
sad ceremonies.
Concerning the late devilish attempt at. in
cendiarism and horse roasting at Reno, the
Journal of yesterday says: .
0. W. Jones oilers a reward of ?100 f.-.r the
arrest of the perso't who set lire to his barn,
after saturating it v. hit coal oil, night before
last, the particulars of which we have already
given. We learn that one man was seen run
ning toward Chinatown just before the fire
broke out. If the rascal could onlvbo found!

Eureka Sentinel of Wednesday says:
Assemblvman Smith owns a dog that
IS
noted for intelligence and sagacity. Among
the most, curious of his traits is the fact tha
he can already disfingirsli but ween the ordi
narv tire alarm and the sounding of the beiis
for the regular meetings of the lire companies.
On the latter occasions he simplv raises his
head for a moment, listens intently, and then
as it satislieu that tueie is no tlanger reiapses
into nulitlerence. Let the clangor of the bra
zen throats rinsi out the fire sii'iial, and his
manner is totally changed. If it be in the
night, his first care is to a wake his master and
the other occupants of the rooms, which he
does by seizing the led clothes in his teeth,
and stripping the bed, vociferous barking, et
If the incident occurs in the daytime, he will
seek out everybody around the stable, and as
soon as he is convinced that they are aware of
the alarm, will accompany the hose cart to the
tire and look on with an eagerness that shows
he is wonderfully interested. Considering the
inflammable nature of the building in the
neighborhood of the stable, the dog is an in
valuable watchman, and he is appreciated ac
cordingly.
Hon. Jonas Seely and other Improved Red
Men are in Eureka preparing to institute a
lodge of that order there.
Harrington, tho murderer of Sullivan, as
our readers know, is in the Reno jail. The
Gazette of Wednesday evening says of him
and a peculiar episode of his life:
The Enterprise says that the execution of
Rover yesterday mu it haw been rather dis
tasteful to Harrington. We do not know how-
distasteful it may have been, but Harrington
was evidently resolved to know the ropes. He
posted himself at the only window from which
a view could be obtained, and was a close ob
server of the entire affair. It would be an in
teresting recital could we give the tenor of his
thoughts as he noted the last brief act in the
tragedy.
The fortunate fellow mentioned in the fol
lowing is the owner of the sort of a mine which
we mean to own one of these days when the
fitful fever and ague of journalism have go no
by. Says the Silver State:
S. Wen ban shipped from his mine in Cor
tez District near Beowawe yesterday, nine
bars of bullion, valued at Sl'2,174. Mr. Wen
ban is the sole owner of the mine that pro
duced this bullion, and has been realizing a
dividend of about ??r00 a day from it for sev
eral weeks. He and his family left for San
Francisco yesterday to enjoy for a season the
fruits of his labor.
Commenting upon the execution of Rover,
the Eureka Sentinel of Wednesday deals thus
plainly:
J. W. Rover was executed at Reno yester
day. A commission composed of twelve men
summoned to pass upon his sanity stood five
for insanity to seven for sanity. The wretched
man was launched into eternity protesting his
innocence up to tiic very moment ot the
springing of the trap. He asserted almost
with his last breath that Mo Worthy was the
guilty man. There is a very general convic
turn throughout the Mate that tiie sentence
of tins man should have been commuted to
imprisonment for lire. No one saw him com
mit the minder with which he stood charged,
and there was at least a reasonable doubt of
his guilf. It we have understood the circum
stances surrounding the killing, there was a
total absence of motive on the part of Rover
likely to prompt the commission of so foul a
crime. Imprisonment for life, in view of the
doubt as to guilt, and the still stronger pre
sumption of the sanity of the accused, should
h i ve been the measure of his punishment.
Had this been an "off year" in elections, we
lean very strongly to the opinion that such
would have been his fate. It was unfortunate
for Rover that three members of the Board
of Pardons are candidates for re-election this
fall. Beatty seldom votes to lighten the sen
tence of anyone; Leonard is a Humboldt man
and had prejudged the case, while Bradley,
Hawley and Kittrell are all canditates for re
election at the ensuing election. e have of
ten observed that a certain chus of public
functionaries become great sticklers for the
enforcement of the law when a political cam
paign is on. Rover's neck was sacrificed to
catch votes.
Now while we agree with theJSentinel that
the hanging of Rover was a deed, whose hor
ror is augmented by the doubt of his guilt,
and while we believe that the unfortunate
man ought to have been consigned to the Pen
itentiary there to await developments, we are
not at all disposed toagree with our contempo
rary in its conclusions concerning the motives
of tho Board of Pardons. In the first place,
as we said in an editorial in yesterday's Ap
l'EAt, tho position el Pardoners thrust upon
tiie Supreme Court Justices by the Constitu
tion is a most onerous, painful and thankless
one, and one which, in such hands is a mon
strous absurdity. But we do not believe in
imputing impure motives to men thus unfor
tunately circumstanced. And it is to le said
in justice to Judge Leonard, that he took no
part in the proceedings of the Board, declin
ing to do so for the reason that he did twice
perform the part of a prolocutor oi the ac
cused. TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.
The Democrats of Indiana held a conven
tion at Indian .polis on Wednessday, Hen
dricks presided We quote as fi l'.ows from a
telegraphic synopsis of the platform.
It declares for public anti-sect;nian schools;
declares that the Circuit Court of the United
States have claimed and exercised unjustly
privileges over corporate and individual States
rights; opposes class legislation and subsidies,
and denounces the Republican leaders who,
through venal returning boards, committed
the mons-irons crime of defeating the will of
the people in the late Presidential election.
The resolutions on this point are remarkably
severe, declaring that the crime can only be
condoned when the malefactors who seated a
fraud in the Presidential chair are driven
from power and consigned to everlasting
imfaniy. They denounce the President foi
appointing members of the Louisiana Re
turning Board to lucrative positions .and for
attempting to interfere with the prosecution
of the Returning board for their crimes.
Also requesting the State's Congressmen to
favor a bill for pensioning Mexican war -vet
erans.
Follow ing is a list of nominees
John G. Shankin, of Vanderberg County
was nominated for Secretary of State; State
Auditor, Martin I). Mnnson; Treasurer
Willam Flennning; Attorney General, Thos,
N. Woolen, and Superintendent of Instruc
tions, J. H. Smart.
As illustrating the completeness of the Era
of good feeling inaugurated in the South by
our good, good President, we quote as fol
lows:
Chicago, February 20. An Inter-Oeean
Washington special says: Mrs. Chisolm has
returned from Mississippi, where she went to
attend as a vitness the trial of her husband's
murderers. She represents matters as com
pletely under the control of the desperadoes
who murdered her husband and clnfdren. li
fore testifying she was warned by the District
Attorney n. t to say a word except in answer
to question If she alluded to any event
calculated t prove a conspiracy by reference
to the mmt.er subsequently committed, she
was immediately arrested in her testimony
and not allowed to go on, and if she mentioned
anything said by her husband she was told
the court did not wish to know anything of
private conversations between her and her
husband. The presiding Judge pronounced
the whole testimony insufficient. Many of
the rabble, vrho were discharging their fire
arms into the barn and hidhig by night with
their hands on their guns in surrounding
trees, were witnesses for th". defense, and
some of these s;:ine persons are on the Grand
Jury who will have to find an indictment
for themselves for the subsequent murder
when the case co ics up. The Judge charged
the jury and asst. ed them that unless there
was a conspiracy, which there was not, raid
unless Chrisholm was proven to be a qualified
voter, which he was not, they could not but
acquit, which they did in five minutes. Judge
Lee, the District Attorney, seemed to be en
tirely overawed by the ruling spirit,
Of the situation at the seat of war we havo
the following:
London, Feb. 21. A St. Petersburg spec
ial, dated the 20th says: It is now stated
here that the British Government will not

Sparks made a short personal explanation,

At the expiration of tho morning hour,

The silver bill having been reached, Spring

upon that point took place.
Washington, Feb. 21 The House Com
mittee on elections to-day, six sgainst five,
agreed that Benj. Dean, Democrat, was elec

lican, was not entitled to his seat. The vote
was as follows: In favor of Dean Harris,
Springer, Turney, Cobb, Williams and Ellis.
In favor of Field Chandler (Dom.), Wait,
Thornburgh, Price and Hisonck, (Rep.) The
case will be called up on Wednesday next,
and the minority report will be presented by
Chandler. The committee to-day unani
mously concurred in the report made by the
sub-cominittee on the Forest-Metcalf Mis
souri case, that uo additional time for hear
ing of testimony should be granted.
Chicago, Feb. 21. An Inter-Ocean Wash
ington special says: The House yesterday,
without exciting any surprise, consummated
the outrage of seating a Democrat, who by
lawful count received 2,000 less votes than
his competitor, and who by the Democratic
count received 1,000 less. The only warrant
was a recount in the parish of Iberville, made
without warrant of law four months after the
legal count, and under circumstances which
make it certain that the ballot had been tam
pered with.
Washington, Feb. 21. Senor Echeverra,
Diplomatic Commissioner of Cuba, says of the
statement from Havana that peace proposi

public of Cuba only accept or reject peace
poopositions.
