GENERAL r. e. CONNOR.

The above-named gentleman, who is a
prominent candidate for the nomination Of
Governor on the Republican ticket, joined
the first dragons, known as the first cav
airy in the year 1889, near tho close of the
Florida war. He was o Captain in the Mex
lean war, and the first officer wounded at
the battle Of Buena Vista; was o Colonel,
Brigadier and Major General in the late
war. the two latter ranks being conferred
for gallant service in the field. The len
eral, il nominated, will poll the full
strength Of the Republican vote.-Tinses-
ReUien.
General Conner is q pensioner Of the
Government in consequence Of the wound
received at Buena Vista, receiving, we be-
liev,e So per month. In view of his great
service to the country, a service which
aided in the acquisition of the identical
territory out Of which Nevada was con-
structed, we submit that it comes in bad
grace from the Republican press Of tho
State to insist that he is not a resident, and
Is not identified with the interests Of this
commonwealth. General Conner was
fighting for the acquisition by the United
States Of the Pacific coast before Powning
and others Of his traducers were born.

The Phoebe Record presents the action
Of the Republican Central Committee of
Lincoln county in appointing delegates to
the State Convention in a somewhat IN
favorable light. The SENTINEL has no
further interest in this matter than that
Justice may be done and harmony prevail
among its Republican friends. 1t grieves
this journal sorely to see the opposition
demoralized and torn asunder by opposing
factions and discordant elements. This
business should be stopped. Following is
what the Record has to say:
It was very naughty Of the Republican
County Central Committee Of Nye county
10 meet and appoint delegates to the State
Convention, but still worse when they in
structed those delegates to cast their votes
for Conner, without first consulting the
Republican voters Of said county, and the
Enterprise very justly, and severely, CEN
sures the Republican Central Committee
Of Nye. But when the Republican Central
Committee OF Lincoln county quietly met
and appointed delegates to the State Con
yention, appointing four out of the five
delegates from the Republican Central
Communicable fifth being a little fellow,
whom they knew they could belt the
stufing out Of if he did not obey orders
instructing them to vote for the nominal
ton of r. N. Daggett, Of the Enterprise,
for Governor, that paper chuckled and
said, "but ali the cases in the two counties
are not Identical" True, Mr.. Enterprise,
the cases are not identical the difference
being, that while the Nye County Repub-
lican Central Committee chose their dele
gates to the State Convention from among
the Republican voters, outside Of the Cen
trail Committee, the Lincoln County Cen
trail Committee took precious good care to
appoint delegates from the ring The
Enterprise tries hard to hide the dirty
work Of the County Central Committee Of
Lincoln, while it rears and rants at the
Committee Of Nye county, which acted by
far more just than the Committee of this
county.

SAN Francisco, August 10.
The Board Of Health held a meeting to-
day, at which the leaders Of the Working

The Board had, however. already passed q

This is the case in which Burr, President
Of the Clay Street Savings Bank, sues

Gates. The plaintiff moved for a con-
tinuance. The defense objected, but it
was finally decided by the Court to con-
tinue the case till Monday, September I'd,
when plaintiff agreed to either so to trial,
or move for a further continuance on legal
grounds, or dismiss the case.
SACRAMENTO. Aug. 10.
George C. Lawrence, last March, was
found dead in Trivoli pond, north Of the
city. 1t TO- transpires that he was a fire.
q~uenter of Dye & Clark's saloon. He had
given all his money and goods to a young
man from whom Dye, as Public Admins
traitor, subsequently recovered them.
Since Dyes arrest the young man has been
very uneasy, and on Friday he suddenly
left the city for the East. These facts ex-
cite the suspicion that either he or Dye, or
both, had something to do with Lawrencc's
singular death.

BEECHER ON THE coMsToCK.

We find in the Stage, the dramatic sheet
Of Virginia City, the following reference to
the great nest-hider:
Americas most famous divine, as we'll as
one Of the most eloquent men Of his day,
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, was greeted
by . large and fashionable audience last
evening, who listened with rapt attention
TO his discourse on sThe Wastes and Bur-
lens Of Society,"" His lecture was evidently
the result Of very careful observation Of
the doings Of the people Of this world, and
he exposed v~anities, foibles and faults in a
merciless manner coupled with words of
advice that, if needed, could not but serve
70 elevate and purify the moral tone Of
society. and render life's pleasures more
sweet. Mr.. Beecher in some manner fails
to I'll our preconceived idea as to his per-
sonal appearance. We had expected to
see a man Of magnificent proportions-an
Adonis in form and feature; instead we
find him q man Of about five feet seven
inches in height, strongly inclined to EN-
b~onp0int, with . jerky, nervous twitching
Of his hands and body while speaking;
and, though expentively dressed, his clothes
hang about him in Q slouchy manner en-
tirely devoid Of neatness. His garb, other
than it being Of q conventional color, bears
but little resemblance TO that OF a clergy
man. He atones for all other defects as to
personnel however, by the magnificence Of
the conformation Of his head which would
be the delight and study Of . painter, and
one look into the fathomless eye, radiant
with genius, would convince the most care
less observer that he stood before one of
the foremost men Of the present day.

rheae G~ubernatorial aspirants paid the
svxrrxru sanctum a friendly call yester-
dav. We have an idea that there is a
stroug fellow feeling between them. Both
being from the Great East, it would not
be surprising il they made common cause
against the Storey aspirants, particularly
AZ the latter have shown a disposition to
count them out in the Comstock primaries.
Governor Kinkead is q very affable gentle
man, and makes q splendid impression
wherever he goes. Indeed, we think there
is more latent strength, more outcome in
him than any Republican candidate
that has yet been named. He is the
sort Of man who grows with the
canvas. 1t has been quietly whispered.
in a confidential way, for some time that If
Kinkead should receive the Republican
nomination, certain influences would be
set to work to keep Governor Bradley off
the track. Be that as it may, Governor
Kinkead is to be regarded as among the
most formidable of the candidates thus far
brought forward by the opposition. He
departs this morning for the West.

VIENNA, Aug. 10.
A telegram from the headquarters Of
Gen. Philopoyich, at Soinitza Dupri, Au-
gust 18th, announces that the Austrian
army that day advanced in three columns
against the insurgents, who had fortified
themselves in a strong position southeast
Of and near Buzovocai. The column
forming the right wing took the Insurgents
on the flank and rear end and captured the
entire camp, with a large number Of wag-
ons, ammunition and other property. The
other columns were somewhat delayed by
the r~uggedness Of the ground, so that the
insurgents had time to withdraw with their
artillery. They fed en- masse in o south
easterly direction, to Kiseljak, near which
place the Austrians are now posted. The
insurgents also occupied WIKI. General
Tzelhof was marching thither. and ex-
pected to arrive there August 18th. The
Austrian losses in these were
in~considerable. Gen. Syapary was still
confronting the insurgents at Dobja on
the It'll instant.

The Passengers AMI Wells, Fargo
81 Co.'S Box Gone Through by
Robbers.

YUMA, August 10.
On'Thursday night. the 18th instant, the
Southern Pacific mail stage was stopped
near Maracopo Wells by five Americans.
They first relieved the passengers of their
funds, and then went through the mail and
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S box. Upon finding
a considerable sun Of gold and green
backs the robbers returned the passengers
money. On the same night the stages in
and ont of Tuscon were stopped by four
Mexicans at Piachaco. The passengers
were robbed of their spare cash, and cloth
ing taken off their persons. The trunks
were also ransached and all the wearing
apparel removed. The mail and express
were robbed. The amount Of the loss is
unknown. Telegraphic communication is
again interrupted. 1t is reported that de-
tective Evans was the only passenger on
the stage going to Tucson. The robbers
relieved him of his clothing and arms.
They cut the horses loose from the stage
and attempted to ride away, but the ami
mails refused to move This makes the fifth
robbery within three weeks.

charging N. G. Hammel with having shot
the deceased. The jury also gave it as
their opinion that a crime had been COM

Some Of our State exchanges have had .
great deal to say Of late about the action Of
the Nye County Republican Central Com
mfttee. So far IS the Republicans OF Nye
county are concerned, they seem to be well
siatsfied with what their representatives in
the committee nave done; all the precincts
were fully represented and the members
did their work tremendously. With regard
to the holding Of the County Convention
on October 10th, the motion received the
unanimous vote Of the members for the
reason that it was in keeping with the
wishes Of the majority Of the Republicans
a. this county. And a. the Committee
men did what the majority Of the Repub-
licans requested them to do, we fail to see
any good reason why party men residing
in other counties should find fault with
their proceedings. Indeed, it seems to US
that the sooner this fault-flnding business
comes to an end the better it will be.
