Letter Frsm Meier sfcsIahes.


II gives us pleasure TO publish the following
sensible and patriotic letter from Major
Edward Mcmahon. The many friends of
Major Mcmahon who warmly supported him
for the nomination at Lynchburg, will be
gratlhed ct the spirit he mauifests, while
those Of Col. Hughes will be deeply I'm
pressed with the genuineness and sincerity Of
the gentleman who was his competitor for
the nomination.
This letter, speaking as II does the sincere
and honest opinions Of an honest Republic
can, largely Interested In the welfare and
prosperity Of the State and her people, will
set At rest all doubts as TO the political status
Of Its author. We trust and believe his
friends and admirers, who are many In the
State, will profit By the advice he gives them
sTAurToS. Va August u. Ini
GRNTLEMENi In response TO tho request
made that indicate what course intend TO
pursue and that which I would advise my
friend. to adopt WIN say that intend TO
cordially and earnestly support the nominees
Of the Lynchburg convention, as representing
the principles and policy In the successful
Inauguration Of which believe the future
welfare Of Virginia Is involved.
II Ia not necessary for me to argue this
proposition, for II seems TO me that Il should
be clear to every mind, not controlled by
Il Is time, In my Judgment, that the people
Of Virginia were freeing themselves from the
shameful influence that the cultivation Of
sectional exclusivencss and feeling has ex-
crted and Is still exerting.
We are an integral part Of the great ma
ton, and II Is my sincere conviction that the
true interests Of Virginia will be subserved,
and her duty lies In harmonlzing her politi-
cal sentiment with II, instead Of needlessly
and hurtfully cultivating spirit Of antago-
nism to II.
We must have broad views and exercise Q
catholic spirit II we would have large bene-
hts and healthy friendships.
The Republican party, according TO- my
conception, represents these. We must have
capital and enterprise to develop our great
national resources. These we cannot freely
secure 80 long IS there Is ap intolerant Oec-
tional feeling. Under liberal and enlight-
encd State government and the prevalence
Of national sympathy, we may reasonably
anticipate that capital, labor and enterprise
will come TO our aid.
i believe the election Of the Republican
ticket In November next will largely con-
tribute TO the contamination of these para
mount ends, and hence shall give to II my
earnest support. .s
have not the time TO follow the sugges-
tons which present themselves to my mind
a. Incident to these reflections. / have,
however, said enough for the occasion, and
will only add that hope my friends will see
the matter as do and act accordingly.
Very respectfully, EDWARD MCMAHON.

THE FERGUSON MYSTERY.

A few days since yonng man named
Ferguson arrived in Salt l. Ike City from
Southern X ,nsss where he had been liz
pursuit of the supposed murderers Of
his father. He failed to achieve the OBJ
Zee. of his search, but there is little
.onbt that the men whose trail he WIS
following had caused his fathers sudden
disappearance AMI probable death. A
Wyoming paper has the following state
rnent relating to this mysterious case:
II has ut last come to light most foul
murder was committed on the night of
the 22,l of May, on the Union Pacific
Il .ilroad. about seven miles this side OF
Rock Springs. at side track called
Baxter. The victim was an old man OF
about seventy. named 5 n. Ferguson,
Who had on him over thousand dollars.
The first inklin2 Of the deed given the
public WAS dispatch of the 3lst ultimo.
stating that Ferguson had probably fall
en- from the cars and been killed. aud
that his baggage vas put of at Laramie.
This led to an investiS stion by the reia-
tives. which has established the fact that
the oil man Was murdered BY two ruff
fans who were put OF the csrs at Baxter.
The brskesmen bad experienced some
difficulty in ejecting the rouyhs. who in-

help, founded a church ut place called
Y-cean-ho. The town which grew up
aroand it WAS called BotOlph's Town,
contraced into Bot-olphs-ton. Bot-os-tou.
and finally Boston. 1t was from this that
the Rev. John Boston came to America
and gave the same name to the seaport in
which he settled in Massachusetts,. St.
Botholp. or Boat-help, is the patron saint
of sailors. and the spire Of his church
supports, three hundred feet high in the
air, a lantern visible at sea forty miles,
thus both lighting the worshippers
home from the stormy sea, and pointing
their way to the haven of rest" 1t was
under the shadow of the tower of that
old church that Jean IngelOw was born.

tempting to prostitute its functions to

to pass an order whereby the said cUm-
mittee should appoint the delegates to
the State Convention; but the PROPOSE
ton was such a glazing violation of party
usage, such fiasrant attempt to usnrp
the powers which properly belong TO the

committee rebelled against the PROPOSE
ton and ordered primary election.
The said primary will take place day

will withdraw his forces and decline to

course and character of these proceed

and took q nomination in the so-called
Tax payers party. There seems to be
no thought Of fair play by Mr.. Booth.
He was nominated by consequence Of
conceded success at the primaries in
1871; he was elected by the votes Of the
".hort hairs" who had been defeated by
him and lis friends in the primaries.
Now he not only bolts the primaries and

foreign to the party to whose good faith

Governor Booth Is, then, simply a po-

and it is among the remarkable phenom-

NoS SCHMIDT lmmortalIZed himself
by proposing to tunnel the Sierra and
draw of the waters of Lake BiSler for use
in San Francisco; but our own practical
and efficient engineer, Ike james, pro-
poses to do q good deal bigger job than
that, SO far as the volume of water to be
handled is concerned. He has, in fact,
projected an undertaking and an excava-
ton whereby the waters of the Pacific
shall empty themselves into Death Valley
and adjacent low desert lands and th.s
form An artificial sea similar in proper
tons and surroundings to the Red Sea
which divides Asia and Africa-and
which one Pharaoh once made vain
and futile attempt to ford with his army
and its wagon trains. OF what Mr..
James proposes to do. the Los Angeles
Express of July has the following:
Isaac E. james, late Chief Engineer
of the Truckee and Virginia City Rail-
road. and brother to Register Alfred
james of this city. passed down on the
Orizabd on his way to the head OF the
Gulf of California, with the view of
making scientific exploration of the
country between the Gulf and the
southern extremity of the great basin,
which is known to be far below the level
of Underwater. for the purpose OF ascer-
tains the feasibility of turning the waters
of the Gulf into the basin. This basin
OF depression extends northward nearly
or quite to the southern boundary OF
Utah, ami the consulnm.tion of this pro-
j ct would result in the formation of IL
sea of perhaps not less that GOJ miles in
length and would be productive of great
climatic changes throughout a vast scope
of country. Nj James will commence
his exp ,oratinns at the point of greatest
depression ON the line of the Texas Pacific
Railroad. and will probably be absent
about six weeks.
