EDITORS SENTINEL: Joseph Potts,
foreman for the Richmond Company,
has seer tit to take of1ense at what your
correspondent laid regarding King
Prohert; aud, like the American ciLi-
zen OF African descent, he ''takes ii all
on hts-seif." Now, SO far from any in
Justice having been done TO King Pro-
ber:, the entire community. almost
without exception, will bear me out in
the assertion hat the only way to hit
| King Probert dmiss is to miss him en-
tireiy. Let the fault he that of Pott-,
Richard, or Probert, 1t makes no tif-
fereiice; il j. the principle that We look
at. If the foreinan, or any one else,
has a right to say where the men shall
hoard, he has an equal right To say
where they shall sleep, where they
shall purchase their clothing, tobt,cn.
ETC., and AT what saloon they shall
drink. The principle once admitted as
correct, and there is practicatty no
tiDtit to the authority Which u fore
man or superintendent may ere rcise
over their employees. The conduct of
Mr.. Probert has not been OF that char
acter which either endsars one to u
community or commands the respect
OF those whose good opinion all should
strive to merit. | would u doughty
knight of the quill tn transpo~e, eX-
plan, or make pain the meaning of
nat sentenc. wherein he SAYS that pri
vate feeling is transparent ON the lace
of The communication. AS a sltnile il
= absurd aud far fetcheh; AZ an ASSET
lion IL is Ambiguous and how want OF
cul.ure in the writer. Luciier has
been my nom de plume for fourteen
years, and | accept IL with all its on
Sequences. and / hereby thank
Mr.. Potts for this kindness in asserting
that l worlhily sustain tie chara ter
assumed. Thank you, kindly; Thank
YOU! And to return h compliment |
herr by acknowledge aud declare, ap
y,ealiny To- the citizens of Eureka and
vicinity to sustain me in my decision,
that joseph Potts has shown his weak
ness in attempting TO justify Thar which
is unju>tifiable. Mr.. Potts ma think
that this is hard language, but he has
brought it on himself. sought
no controversy with him, nor do l
wish any. | have no private spite
against Mr.. Probert. l am not affect
Ell financially or otherwise 10y the ac.
ton nf Mr.. Prohert: hut with the
community IN general l think his con
duet has been highly rep~rehensibie
since he has had charge of The affairs
OF the Richmond Company. / hope
Mi. Potts will have the good seuse to
>ee that his position is untenahle, for,
AS l said before, / am not hunting IA
gu arrel with him or any other man.
A controversy OF this kind Is very dis
agreeable to me at all times, and espe-
cially SO at present. LUCIFER.
FEATHERED MAIL CARRIERs.-Last
Monday Mr.. Fitch, the operator at the
Atlantic and Pacifii Telegraph Office,
sent by stage to Typo u common am
dove or pigeo with instructions
to attach IA message 10 it and turn it
loose Immediately on the arriva. al the
stage vt Tyho. Yesterday morning
the bird WAS found in It's coie in
this town, having IL urned soinelims
during the night. On one of its legs
WAS n string, but the paper upon which
the message was written was one hav-
ing probably been pecked of by the
bird. The distance between the two
places on AN air line is about 80 miles.
There Is no ,eiegraphic communities
ton with either Tybo Or Belmont, and
Mr.. Fitch intends To procure a num-
Der OF regular carrier pigeons to
work between Eureka and those
places. 1t is a novel operation in this
country, but We a perceive no rea-
o why 1t should not prove n success,
ful one.
PERsoNAL.-Granger Alex Beatty ar
rived in town yesterday forenoon from
The Blue Eagle ranch. He will linger
