Secretary of State.

Governor Bigler has appointed Mr..
Charles H. Hampstead 10 fill the office
of Secretary of State, in place of Gen.
j. W. Denver, member elect to the 34th
Congress Mr.. Hampstead is a gentle
man of high respectabiity and talent,
and his appointment to the responsible
Office Of Secretary of State cannot fail
to prove acceptable to the people. He
has been private Secretary to the Gov
ernor for the last two years, and in that
capacity be has had ample opportunity
to become familiar with the duties Of
the Office of the Secretary of State.
Dr. Wood, Deputy Secretary of State
left in charge of the office by General
Denver, refused to deliver up the seal to
the Governor, and means to be Secretary
Of State in spite of authority. He is
supposed to be IA kye-Eye, and the Office
Is mcre'y seeking Kim. The Governor
has very properly ordered the engraving
of nrw seal, as such factious spi lis
should not be suffered to interrupt the

Mr.. EDITOR :

Mr.. EDITOR
Dear Sir-We wish to occupy a small space
in your columns. to correct a few statements
made by one # the High Rock Company. and
published in the Record Of October 6, against
Col. Mower, the former foreman of that com
pany. Ia doing this, we have but one object
in view, simply that justice may be done to all
parties As the matter now stands we think
great injustice has been done him.
The first charge is that the claim was not
properly worked, or if SO, the gold was ex-
tracted and not accounted for to the company
In answer to these charges, we believe Mr.,
Mower, at that time was working the claim to
the entire satisfaction of all. lie had no
control over the gold, whatever, after it was
extracted 1t was then in the hands of per-
son elected by the company for that purpose,
and he was the only person who had anything
to do with the gold until it passed into the
hands of the treasurer. Sow see this charge
falls to the ground The President of the
was bound to carry his points if he had to lie
to do it, and intimated that he had done so in
this case, to get Mower off the claim This
was done from the fact that Mower discharged
the President from being boss of certain
portion of the work. As to the President and
Director being met by Mower and his gang, it
is not true. The President and Mr. Arm.
strong, one of the Directors. with his pistol in
r,,.l-a 81,
tempting to use it, he lost it, and received
black eye in exchange. Mr.. Mower at the
time was quietly attending to his own busi-
ness, and had not up to that time, received
any official notice of his discharge. After
which Mr.. Mower received notice and ac-
cordingly left the claim. The next morning
Mr. John Crane was put on the claim, by one
or mere of the directors, until Mr. Bearce
was ready to take possession, which he did
the following morning.
One other charge is that Mr.. Mower could
work the claim for sixty hours and take out
trif1e over $500. In order that your read
ers and the public may know how much truth
there is in that statement We will give them a
memorandum of what was taken out under
Mr. Mowers direction, and the circumstan-
ces under which it was done. At the time
Mr.. Mower was taking out the gold specified
in the memorandum, he was preparing this
same ground which Mr. Bearce has worked,
and which was supposed to be the richest part
of the claim, AMI has proved so thus far. Mr.
Mower had got it completely sacked and
drained, so that Bearce had nothing to do but
to set his men to work and tuke out the gold
which he did, to the amount of As or s4700.
Since working the above named ground, he
has not taken out enc dollar We believe Mr..
Bearce to be a gentleman, and will say the
above is true to the letter.
We have known Col Moore for long time,
and have always found him gentleman. hon
est and upright in all his dealings with his fel-
low men, aud could not sit still and let such
bareiaced statements pass uncontradicted.

munication was received. we are compelled to
