CHAIN OF ClRCuMsThNTIM EVIDENCE
ARREST OF DANIEL SULLIVAN.
SAN Francisco, Nov

SAN Francisco, November IL.
The chain of circumstantial evidence
against Daniel Sullivan, who was arrested
on Saturday plight as the murderer OF Mrs.
Annie Barry, the victim Of the Lon Noun
tain tragedy, Is now believed by the detec-
tiyes, who have had the case in charge, to
be complete, with the discovery this morn
ing of the clothing stolen from Mr.. Barry's
house. The following additional circum-
stances, pointing to the guilt OF the pris-
oner, were brought to light on the after
noon Of the murder. The man who ran
ava proves to be the prisoner, who dis
posed Of dark coat and pants, stolen from
Mr.. Barry's house, TO Mrs. A. Cooper,
whose husband keeps a secondhand cloth
ing store, at No. $50 Pacific street. Mrs.
Cooper gave him in exchange q light pair
of pants and half o dollar. A. Levy, of
1874 Pacific street, and Mrs. Dora Hirtz, of
10S Pacific street, were present ct the time
OF the trade, and when Sullivan was
brought to Mrs. Cooper's store this after
noon, they identified him positively as the
person who had sold the clothing. When
confronted with these witnesses, Sulli-
van acknowledged in their pres
ence, as we'll as in that OF Cap
tain Lees, and Officer John 8.
Meagher, that he was the mar that had
the coat and pants. 1t has also been as
certained that Sullivan, after making his
escape at Cooper's store, where he took off
the pants that he had taken from Barney's
house, and put on the light pair that he
obtained from Cooper's. He then went q
few doors below, to a secondhand clothing
store, at No. 116 Pacific street, kept by
Julius Circle; here he offered the light
pants that he had obtained from Mrs.
Cooper in exchange for q pair Of old over
alls and four bits. The trade was made,
and Sullivan donned his new garment and
left. The prisoner was also taken to this
store this afternoon, where Mrs. Circle and
her daughter identified him as the man
who had made this exchange. When vis-
iting the clothing stores this afternoon, he
did not deny, while talking with Captain
Lees about the tragedy. that he was the
murderer. He declared. however, that he
would not tell any policeman anything
about it, but he would tell the story when
he came before the court.
Henry W. Larkin. formerly one OF the
proprietors Of the Sacramento Union, died
in this city yesterday. aged SO years.

specuIations regarding the effect Of the
fall elections on the Presidential market
arc now in order. The strength Of candi-
dates in their respective States will go q
long way toward determining the choice in
1880. Blaine got worsted in Maine. Thur
man lost Ohio. Hendricks retained con-
troll of Indiana. Conkling made q big
winning in New York. The defeat Of Tam
many is claimed as a victory for Tilden.
Bayard stands precisely where he did be-
fore has neither gained nor lost anything.
The Greenback craze is subsiding. and he
holds strong for the old Democratic doc
trine Of q sound metallic currency. This
renders him popular with the Eastern
Democracy, especially in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, States important
10 Democratic success, while no man could
be more acceptable to the ''solid South"
The chief obstacle in Bayard's way is the
ANAL Electoral vote Of his State, Delaware.
Conkling, we take it, with o Western man
for the second place on the ticket, stands
the best chance for the Republican nomi-
nation. This prediction is contingent, OF
course, on Grants refusal to accept q
third term, which, we conclude, is highly
probable, inasmuch as q strong, popular
reaction seems to be turning against him.
Conkling then being the man for the Re-
publicans, il will become necessary for the
Democrats to select as their standard
bearer some one who can carry the Empire
State over the local popularity and State
pride Of the Republican nominee. Who is
there that can be relied upon SO well to do
this Is Mr.. Tilden? Nobody. Indiana,
also, must be retained by the Democracy,
or we fail. Hendricks is the man to do
this. And hence, it appears reasonably
probable that the old team, Tilden and
Hendricks, will again be the candidates OF
the Democracy in 1880.

woMAN,s RIGHTS IN OREGON.

Among the bills passed by the late Legis-
lature Of Oregon, and which has since be-
come . law, remarks the Portland Ore
gonian, is an Act relating to property OF
married women, which provides that prop
erty owned by a woman at the time Of mar
rage. or acquired thereafter by gift, de-
wise OF. inheritance, shall not be subject
to debts or contracts of the husband, and
the wife may manage, sell, convey and de-
wise the same as the husband can his prop
erty. The property Of either husband or
wife shall not be liable for debts or con-
tracts Of the other. Action may be main
tanned by husband or wife against the
other for recovery Of property Of which
the other has obtained possession, the
same as If they were unmarried. For civil
injuries committed by the wife, damages
can be recovered Of her alone, except in
cases where he is jointly responsible. Con-
yeyances or liens from one to the other
shall be valid. One may constitute the
other his or her attorney. to act for mutual
benefit or attorney-in-fact. The wife may
recover the wages Of her personal labor in
her OWE name. Neither is liable for the
debts OF the other incurred before mar
riage. Expenses Of family and education
Of children shall be ~chargeable on prop
erty Of both husband and wife, or Of
either OF them. We have here an Act
which seems to be pretty well up to the adj
vanced claims Of those who have been
laboring for q law which would give
control of her own property and
earnings, and put her on an equality in
this respect with man.

The California papers, regardless Of pol
itics, are warm and cordial in their o n
gratulations Of Mr.. Daggett over his sue
cess in the Congressional race. We de-
sired the defeat Of Mr.. naggett for poiit-
ical considerations, but now that he is
elected, we join with III contemporaries
in wishing him all manner of success in
his new position Of law-giver. No one can
question his great strength Of intellect,
and the SENTINEL feels assured that he will
reflect credit on the State, the fraternity
and himself at Washington. We have but
one fear for the journalistic member.
namely, that he will prove SO internally
radical when he gets his official harness on
that we shall be driven to regret, and,
may be, to take back this kindly mention
of him. We are not without hope, how
ever. that he will learn, when he gets East,
that the war is over. At all events, this
journal will never say anything sun
pretty about him that is not warranted
by the record. The public record Of pub
lie men is all that any respectable news
paper should have to do with. And so, we
say good luck to Daggett.

THE TIE IN WHITE PINE.

Ellison and Green, Democratic candi-
dates for the Assembly from White Pine,
have tied, according to the official count
made ct Hamilton yesterday. The remedy
Is : new election, not between these two
men necessarily, bnt between as many as
may desire to run. The Legislature being
overwhelmingly Republican, no political
significance will attach TO . new election.
A new election will cost several thousand
dollars. We would, therefore, suggest to
The Commissioner Of White Pine, as an
economical step, to the ballots
before ordering an election to decide the
contest. 1t frequently happens that mis-
takes OCCUR on the part Of Election Boards.
and in this instance errors may be discov-
cred which will render the resubmission to
the people Of the matter wholly unneces-
sary. It were better, at all events, to have
. recount Of the ballots Of all the pre-
cincts before going to the expense Of .
special election, the cost Of the latter to
the county being precisely the same as q
general election.

NEWSPAPER MEN AND THE
SCOURGE.

No class Of people, in proportion to their
numbers. have suffered more from yellow
fever than the newspaper mel Of the strick-
en- portions Of the South. In the Office OF
the Memphis Appeal, before the fever broke
out, there were forty-two editors, reporters,
printers and pressmen. OF these, nineteen
died Of the fever, twenty-ons were taken
down with it who recovered, making but
two OF the whole number who escaped an
attack. In the Office Of the Memphis AUa-
lanche the proportion was about the same,
there being ten convalescents, thirteen
dead, and five who were not attacked. In
the Ledger Office four died, nine had the
fever and recovered, and but one escaped.
No instance is recorded Of any newspaper
man having fiinched in the performance
Of his duty. Every n Of the number
stood to his post until sickness or death
claimed him for his victim.

NEVADA CORPORATIONS AND
POLITICS.

Nevada is essentially q State Of corpora
tions. Remove the mining and railroad
companies and there is but little left.
They are the life blood, the prosperity dis
pensing institutions OF the Commonwealth.
As q State. as q community. we could not
exist without them. These concerns have
interests, and they protect them. Who
can blame them il they do? They are en-
titled to precisely the same consideration
as individuals, no more and no less. The
political party that makes war upon them
must expect payment in kind. It is human
nature. and exactly what every one OF us
would do il similarly situated. The
Democracy Of Nevada went through the
recent canvass on She idea that the cor
porations were inimical to the best inter-
ests Of the State. We pressed the issue on
the Republicans at all points. The Repub-
licans accepted the gage, but were less VIC
lent in their opposition. Our stumpers
treated the corporations as organized plum
derers and public enemies. 1t is a notable
that those VINO were the
loudest and coarsest in their denunciations
were the worst defeated before the people.
The Republicans fought shy and utterly
refused to antagonize the corporations.
Natural enough the power and influence
Of the latter were thrown for their friends
for those who had treated them the best in
the canvass. The Democrats lost and the
Republicans Won. Does the lesson teach
anything? And who is there that believes
that the corporations Of the State will
fare any better under Republican than
Democratic rule, even though the latter
had succeeded from top to bottom. More
than any place on earth, good party man.

racy of Nevada has everything to learn.

Republicans Not Permitted to Vote.
CHICAGO, November IL.
A Journals Washington's special says:
The full vote cast ct the elections in South
Carolina last Tuesday, n county only ex-
cepted, received here, is conclusive evil
dence as to the truth of charges made by
the Republicans, that they were not per-
mitted 70 vote without e~ndangering their
lives. The Democratic majority in the
State, which is honestly Republican by
20, 900, is THAI. This does not include
the vote in Georgetown county, which is
reported Democratic by several hundred
majority. In Edgefeld county, where the
entire white population does not exceed
$500, a Democratic majority of 1000 is
returned. In Abbeyville county but two
votes were cast.
Mr.. w. p. Cannady, editor of the Post,
