Deputy Sheriff Of Collins county, Texas,
writes letter to the Evening Dispatch
stating that he killed notorious charac-

and st. Genevive. Missouri, bank rob-
berry, and also asserted that he robbed
the Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Austin.
Texas, stages, and had committed several
similar robberies in Arizona and Nevada,

GENERAL WYNN.

Annexed we publish a letter from
Gen. Vim, of San Francisco. The only
remark we have to make is that the Vir-
GINA papers published the statement
that the General, with some others, were
about to visit Nevada for the purpose of
interfering in its political matters. We
are glad to hear that the threatened in
vasion proves to be canard, for We have
already quite as many. if not more pro-
fessional politicians than we need:
SAN FRANcIsco, Aug. %, 1874.
Ed. RECORD: Sir. see you state in
your paper that am in Virginia City,
State of Nevada, advising the people of
Storey county how to vote. Be kind
enough to publish this in answer to your
editorial.

nothing about the local affairs of that
city or State. Your notice is first-class
one for political opponent, and il l had
been there, in that capacity, should
have felt highly honored, for it is not
customary to notice "red-headed" men
with so much vindictiveness.
1t is true have been trying for many
years to improve the condition of those
who work for living; it can only be
done by argument advanced in favor of

they look upon mechanics as common

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 22.-The
Republican State Convention adjourned
to-day, after three days session. Reso-
buttons were adopted declaring their I'M
shaken confidence in the principles of
human liberty and civil and political
equality, without distinction of race or
color; disclaiming that they desire social
equality OR special equality legally en-.
forced; that they desire no mixed
schools; and recognize the fact that
every house is sacred from intrusion,
and that in free country every one can
dictate for himself.
From the above we are glad to see that
there is some sense left in the Republic
can party of the South, and while they
ask to be protected in their own rights,
they do not propose to infringe upon
those Of others. Even the carpet-bag-
gers begin to have q glimmering idea OF
right and wrong, Faint. indistinct and
uncertain, it is true, but the germ ap.
pears to be there, which, if cultivated,
might in few years give them right to
claim the qualities OF common honesty
and fair dealing.

INDEPENDENT THINKING.

To political parties, or rather to the
leaders and fuglemen of political parties,
who expect to be lifted into power and
affiuence by party discipline, independ-
ence in individuals or journals is most
unwelcome impeachment to the accom-
plishment of their desires. When q man
is found who dares to think and act for
himself, then do these politicians rage
and gnash their teeth, A new element
enters into all their fine.spun calcula-
tons, which may possibly control all the
rest. What use is it, say these fellows,
to engineer primaries and honey-fugsle
conventions, if, after all, the people are
going to do as they please, and select the
best man that offers? 1t is no doubt
severe disappointment for these wire
pullers to find that people have minds
of their own; but the discovery is not to
be evaded, and is daily becoming more
patent. The true tests Of honesty and
competency are coming into favor with
startling rapidity, and their application
is being attended with very uncomfort-
able results in many instances; that is,
SO far as candidates are concerned. 1t
is very little matter to what party a can
didate may belong, if he has fair
record, ability and unquestioned integ-
rity. His opponent, if he wants to win,
must be at least equal in those qualities,
besides having other and subsidiary i'd
vantages. These are the points that are
scanned by the Independent voter, and
if found wanting the man is let drop who
lacks them. To the man of independ.
ence the shackles Of party and decisions
of conventions are but OF slight import,
for he thinks for himself, and if his con.
illusions are different from those with
whom he has generally acted, he does
not hesitate to follow his own convic.
tions. The numbers of men entertain.
ing these views are increasing daily, and
we would advise those who are making
party nominations to see that the char.
acter and record OF their candidates will
stand close scrutiny; otherwise they
will be left out in the cold.

WE favor Sharon because we know
him to be the only man in the field
worthy the support of all who enjoy the
elective franchise in Nevada-regardless
of party. Il
The above was written by Booth. OF
the Belmont Courier-the same who was
kicked out of the PIocHE RECORD for
failing to divide honestly with his part
ners. tnis
poor. ignorant old fraud has any infiu-
ence in Nye county, it is more than he
has ever had anywhere else where he is
known.-[ Eureka Sentinel, 20.
The Sentinel evidently refers to an in
dividual who was ambitious of being
known as Honest John Booth" but
pursued most singular line of conduct
to establish his claim to that cognomen.
He came to Phoebe, with what re-
sources we will not pretend to say; but
on the representations aud support OF
too con6ding friends, he acquired one
fourth interest in the RECORD, OF which
he was given the full control. He soon
afterwards availed himself of his position
to sell the RECORD for the promotion OF
the interest OF certain parties to an im-
portant law suit for good round sum,
which he took particular care to pocket.
Knowing that his partners were entirely
opposed to neddling in such matters, be
took especial pains to keep these pro-
ceedings profound secret, but, as such
things generally do, they finally leaked
out. On being charged with bad faith
in thus compromising his partners, he at
first denied it, but on being closely
pressed, be said: "If did receive any
thing, it was purely as personal favor
to myself" This was altogether too
thin, and as he had thus unwar-
rantably jeopardized the business of his
partners, Honest John" was forced
to sell his interest in the RECORD,
this time giving his deed. Though
he had such remarkably eccen-
trio notions of nelm and taga this
man Booth had weakness for being
known by the endearing appellative of
Honest john" As an evidence of
which, we will say that while owning
fourth of the RECORD, this Honest
John" had occasion to take a trip to the
West. California, etc.; but before he
went, he left orders with the then editor
Of the RECORD, to copy all notices of
Booths visits to the offices Of other
papers, for he intended to visit quite
number. In the notices thus copied the
editor was always to refer to him
as Honest john" for he wanted
TO established reputation for probity
throughout the State, as he intended to
be candidate for state Printer or some
other Office, and being known by that
name would accomplish his purpose.
How we'll he deserved the title the read
ers OF the foregoing are well qualified to
Judge. He will yet live to learn that
not only is honesty tho best policy, but
it is essential to practice the maxim as
well as preach the theory. 1t is our
opinion that he will not be the next State
Printer

FoR some months past the PIocHE
RECORD has made several ludierous at
tempts to be witty at the expense OF the
Virginia Chronicle. Hitherto We have
paid but little attention to the silly
irivel of the sagebrush oracle, but in
order to convince him that his efforts are
not wholly unappreciated, we shall re-
print the following paragraph from the
San Francisco Alta of August GOTH
Virg. Chronicle, %.
The Virginia Chronicle thus pleasant
ly compliments us, by saying that We
make ''ludicrous attempts. and those
attempts are 'drivel." for which kind
expressions it will please accept our
thanks and our congratulations on the
native elegance of its style and rhetorical
expressions. After these tokens Of its
regard, it reprints paragraph from the
Alta (Which we have already repub-
lishedl which that venerable old lady,
who has grown garrulous and senile in
her old age. Indignantly mumbles an in
coherent tumble of silly abuse against
the RECORD. As we have already replied
to the Alta, the Virginia Chronicle will
please excuse us from making any re-
marks on the subject, as We have not
time to repeatedly demonstrate to every
innocent, the absurdities of another S
folly. While the Virginia Chronicle can
at all times command the benefit of our
criticism and suggestions on its own ac-
count, it is little too much to invoke
our aid in behalf OF those who have even
greater deficiencies, il that be possible,
than our esteemed contemporary of the
