GENERAL SHERMAN is a sort of enfant terri
BILE. He is just as likely to put to confusion
his friends and supporters as to lend them aid
and comfort We get the following account
of him from West Point:
Washington June 15.-The Democrats who
have been talking of General Sherman for the
Presidency are little startled by his recent
West Point speech, in which he defended Pres
ident Hayes warmly, declaring that while he
appeared to be a mild hammered man, if the
time should come when he would be required
to defend his right to his seat he would be
found to have the nerve and determination to
do it. The General added that the army was
sworn to defend the constituted authorities
and would do SO, and the graduates of West
Point were bound by their oaths to protect
the Government, of which President Hayes
was unquestionably the head These senti
ments were applauded enthusiastically by the
alumni who were gathered from all parts of
the Union.

FREAK OF NATURE-The Reveile notes a
surprising spectacle in the semi-aboriginal
way, as follows:
One of party of Eureka Shoshones, over
here in attendance on the big fandango, is a
girl about fourteen years Of age. whose hair is
a regular brick color In the same party are
two or three papooses with light hair, white
skins and blue eyes. There is probably some
thing in the fumes from the Eureka smelling
furnaces, which thus changes the physical
characteristics of the Indians. The red headed
girl has quite pretty and pleasing counte-
nance, and is as shy as cotton-tail rabbit.

THE BANNOCKS.

The Silrer State of Saturday tells the follow
ing story of Indian violence:
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, through
from Silver City, arrived here yesterday
afternoon. Two messengers. E. B. Tage and
William Moody, and a helper named Robert
Bruce, came through with the express. They
found the remnants of the stage burned near
the Owyhee last Monday, and brought In the
locks of seven mail bags which the Indians
had destroyed. No trace of McCutchen the
driver was found, and it is supposed that the
Indians took him into the hills to torture him
to death. Mr.. Tage says the scouts, who are
accustomed to tracking Indians, and to esti-
mate their numbers from the trails they make,
thought the number of ponies could not be
less than three hundred. All the stations
from the Owyhee to McDermit having been
abandoned and the stock driven off or strsyed
away, they drove over sixty miles with one
team. The Bannocks went in a southerly
direction from where they burned the stage.

GEN. Common AS A CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR.

On all sides we hear expressions of approval
os the MORNING APPEAL's suggestion of the
nomination of Gen. p. E. Conner as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor. It is widely
believed that his name and presence would
arouse the enthusiasm of the Republicans of
Nevada as nobody else yet named would do.
Connor is a real, live, hero. He has been a
soldier all his life-when soldering was in
order. When lad, in Texas, he joined the
patriot forces and fought for the indepen-
dence of that Republic. When the Mexican
war broke out he fastened to enlist. He
fought until the triumph of the American
arms was ensured. He came to California in
the early days When the war of the rebel
hon broke out he had a contract to build the
new Capitol in Sacramento. He procured the
passage of a bill annulling that contract in
order that he might take arms in defense of
the Union. He raised a regiment and marched
to Utah. The Mormon authorities met him
near Salt Lake City and warned him not to
enter there. He replied, 'my orders direct
me TO march into your city and into your
city will go" Suiting the action to the
word, he marched into the Mormon capital.
Brigham Young, determined to harass him,
put some of his soldiers in Jail. The Cen
ersl asked that his men be released. Brigham
Quihhled and held the men in custody. Con
nor trained battery of guns upon The Lion
House and sent word to the Latter Day
OF ba 10 Oh
his ears ifithe men were not released. Dis
erection being the better part of Danites
vllcr, Brigham set free the soldiers, instanter
Brigham issued an edict against prospecting
for the precious metals in Utah. Common pro-
mulsated a general order to his men that
they might, when not on duty, prospect
wheA and where they pleased The action
rendered possible the opening of the vast and
mineral resources of Utah. And this
is the manner of man whom we nominate for
tho standard bearer of the Republican hosts
in tne coming election. With Conner for
Governor and Jones for Senator, who can
prevail against us! The fight is against The
rebr, Democracy" Conner, like a true
sojiec, simplifying the issue, thus states the
case What our party needs is the fire of
Connor, as We believe, can
awake that FIRE as no other man i'll our ranks
can do. He deserves the highest honors that
NeyaA, can bestow. Let the Republican
party, rising above personal aims, place his
name at the head of its ticket for the pending
cd1a Pai:n. and if victory is possible it is pos
sihle under his leadership

The first step towards the accomplishment OF
