to the Vile du Harre disastor. yesterday, LIT:
White. of New York, tiaposed that he was Ecscteo
by French boat, which Soon afterwards picked
up Capt. Surmont. Waite further stated that
the crew of the Loeb Earn confoanded the pilot
Of the Vile du Hayro with Capt. Surmont i: hence
the statement as to the latter that his clothing
was dry when be came on board the Locn Earn'
The Court thanked MIR. Waite for making the
explanation. .oa.;eos
Ho denied that the charges against Capt. Sur
mont emauated from him. He declared he WAS
inca nahle of taking away such brave man u
character.
Application was mnde for Al adjournment OF
proceedipgs until French witnesses could attend,
but it was subsequently withdrawn.
Mr. Butt on behalf OF the officers OF tho Locn
Earn. argued that the Vile du HaEro was to

n,ously decided that Capt. Robertson WIS blame-

Ed. Nkws-DkAR Sm: In the Virginia
L~ad,p<adeni Of this morning I notice that
my name appears a delegate TO the
State Convention Of the so-called "Inds.
pendent" party, to BE- held at Carson on
the 9th instant. for the purpose Of NOM
mating . State ticket to be voted for at
the coming election In November next.
Now. while I heartily thank the gentle
men for the intended honor, I beg leave
to state that It was conferred entirely
without my knowledge Oh consent, (sa
wa that Of announcing me AZ Chairman
Of tho same party some three months
ago. i have repeatedly stated in the
presence Of members Of the Independ-
emit party that I was and would Be indie
pendent in the coming election, acknowl-
sdging NO alliance, and bound by no
party ties, but would vote for and sup
port men for Office who. in my judg-
msnt, were the best qualified and would
be the most conscientiousin discharging
the duties Of the Offices TO which the
voters Of the State and county might
see at to elevate them, and this I be-
lisvs to be the ~prerogative Of every true
and free born American citizen. but that
I could not and would not neglect the
duties OF my profession for the purpose
Of taking ii active part in tho interest
OF any political party.
At the only meeting Of the Indepsn-
dent party III it could be &C called at
that tims) that I ever attended, i stated
that the platform there proposed. and
the principles then enunciatsd, II strict
ly adhered 10, were such rs ! could
heartily inderse, and would faithfully
labor for; but that 81 could not and
would not support or indorss Mr.. Sutro,
or any one in the interest OF Mr.. Sutro
for the position OF United States Ssna-
tor" Yet in the face Of all this my
name 10 psrsistsntly psraded, first a
Chairman OF the State Central Commit
tee (Which body at that time had no ex-
istsnce) and now as Q delegate to the
State Convention, which honor. a. i
have before remarked, l must most re-
spsctfully decline. Independent in
thought and action (but not in name as

COMPLIMENTARY.

According to the sutro Dependent both
audience and delegates selected BY the
so-callsd "Independsat" MAS meet
ing(i). Held in Miners Union Hall. vir-
ginia, last Saturday night, must be q
representative body Of men. The De-
pendent pays this high compliment to the
persons. who. assembling there on that
occasion, ratified the set OF delegates
whom sutro had selected to represent
the reform element Of Storey county in
his grand pow-wow TO Be held at Carson
on the 3oth inst. We say the delegates
whom Sutro had selected for among
the bright reform iuminaries who are to
shed millsnial light over the politics Of
Nevada, are men owned body and soul
by the great bore; men who for q year
past have done nothing but ~ dictated
by Sutro and his agents. But let us see
what Sutro's organ thinks Of the char
actsr Of the constituency whom these
reform delegates will represent ut Car
son on the s0th. Il thus describes
them:
THE meeting was . spontaneous e.
preston OF . CALLED community Of free
American citizens, who. from . comph-
cation Of circumstances, have bean led
stcp by step into thralaom BY q baud OF
co~nspirators. reduced body and soul into
q state OF vassalags. compelled to act ~
their taskmastsrs ordered. and almost
forced even 10 think a. their tyrants
thought. and 90 by degrees we're their
liberties being circumscribed and their
claims 10 sorsly and ~indiscrsstly
rivstsd until murmuring burst into indis-
nation and indignation into rebellion
and defiance"
In abort, the men who attended the
Independent meeting last Saturday even.
ing and ratified Mr.. Sutro's slate are
white slaves in rebellion. This Is the
estimate which Mr.. sutro puts upon the
people Of storsycounty. who have cho-
sen TO give support to the movement he
seeks to lead. but which will A. certainly
ropudiats him As already have both the
Republican and Democratic parties. II
the persons who clam 70 belong to the
Independent faction in Sorsy are satis-
asd with their portraits ~ painted By the
Dependent. We have surely no cause for
complaint. Perhaps they relish the
title Of vassal. In our judgment that
man who will follow tbs Leadership OF
sutro is lower even than . slavs. He In
Q knave or fool.

WILL NOT Re misunderstood.


As will BE- seen by q communication
Published in another column today,
from DR.. p. T. Kirby. Of Gold Hill. that
gentleman insists upon not bsing any
further misunderstood or misrspressntsd
by the so-sallsd "Indspsndent" party
or clique at Virginia City. He comes
eut with . manly. straightforward state
msnt Of the facts in the oaso, setting
himself right before his fellow citizens.
Some months ago. when the Indepen-
dent clique. Aforesaid. was in the ineip-
Isn't stage Of formation, DR.. Kirby, like
other good citizens Of an inquirins.
libsralturn Of mind in the way Of politics
was inclined to listen to what they
lad to say. and to examine into their
views and objects. He entirely agreed
with what they set forth in the matter
Of true. honest independence in politics.
believing in selecting none but the very
best men u Office. regardless OF their
political status. but he distinctly told
them he would have nothing to do with
Sutrs or with any one ~favoring his
schemes. Neither would he take an as
tive part with them in politics, to the
neglect or dstrimsnt Of his professional
practice. In fact he merely indorsed
their expressed views in the matter OF
political Independence. yet did not care
70 afnliats with them. He found them
merely . clique Of political sors-Asads
and ambitious Office seekers. and the Su-
tro element which eventually developed
itself was enough to rspel and
deter net only Kirby but others from
joining or a~faliating with the party"
But they wouldn't let him alone. They
wanted the names Of good. wsll-mesn-
ing men. citizens Of popular worth and
standing. TO use, therefore they used his
tine and time again without authority.
until at last they make a delegate Of him
10 their Convention. and he IL obliged to
put . stop to IL. He will allow them to
sail him under false colors no longer.
He believes in true political ind'pen-
dsnes 1, its fullest in the
sense in which IL 10 regarded now
BY 90 many Thousands OF his fellow
Of either political party who are

After several sessions and a prolonged de-

Presbytery, took part, it was deemed, to be
actually necessary for interests Of our people
that the Rev. DR.. Palmer be requested urgent
ly to remain
When the resolutions were rendered Dr.
Palmer, he reconsidered his first resolution
and stated. that after mature reflection he
would remain in charge in this city.
This will probably be hailed with intense
satisfaction by large and apprecative num-
Der Of the Presbyterians of our city, as well as
by our citizens at large.
The past labors of this great pulpit orator
have been great in this field and under his
pastorship the Presbyterians have increased
very largely. This event is no ordinary one,
and the feeling everywhere expressed is that it
is a public benefit to have such Jealous and
able worker with u.s. DR.. Palmer did not,
however. refuse to answer the call to another
field without conscienciou and careful ex-
animation of all sides to the question, and we
feel he has done best for the interests of his

Water Spout in Havana.
1t Sinks Bark and Damages another
Vessel.

We learn from gentleman just from Ha-
vana that on Saturday last, the Goth inst.
during a violent rain and wind squat which
swept over the Bay OF Havana, a large water
spout suddenly formed in the eastern portion
of the bay and moving westward with great
rapidity. boarded Russian or Norwegian
bark lying at anchor in the bay, loading with
sugar, throwing her on her beam ends and
sinking her in about four fathoms of water, in
few moments. Several lighters lying along
side of the bark We're sunk at the same time
Proceeding on its destructive course it en-
countered another vessel at anchor tting off
her bowsprit and head gear. 1t then waltzed
in and out among the numerous vessels in the
bay, just missing the steamships City of Sau
Antonio, Cleopatra and Others and finally
disappeared in the western arm of the bay
The sinking bark was partially laden with
sugar and the loss will no doubt be consider
