GENERAL CONNOR.

Some days since the MORNING APPEAL made
mention of Gen. p E. Connor's name as pos
sible candidate for tn" Republican nomination
for Governor Sint mention was made
we have seen letter N by the General
in reply to note from one # his old compan-
ions in arms. He says in substance, with
characteristic modesty, that while he is not a
candidate for any Office, and will take no part
in the canvass for the nomination, that if he
is thought available ''to beat the rebel Democ-
racy" he will place his name at the disposal of
the convention. We believe him to be, of all
men the man to cheat the rebel Democracy"
We hope he may receive the nomination as
the gratuitous and unanimous tender of the
Republican party of Nevada Grant, called
from his retiracy in 1868 saved the party and
the Republic. Common, the distinguished sol
der, called to the Gubernatorial nomination
in 1873 will redeem Nevada and save the
party of freedom, justice and progress.

HoT-One of the hottest regions of the
earth is along the Persian Gulf, where little
or no rain falls At Bahrin the arid shore has
no fresh water, yet a comparatively numer
GUS population contrives to live there, thanks
to copious springs which burst forth fronl the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water liz got by
diving. The diver, sitting in his boat, winds
great goat-skin bag around his left arm, the
hand grasping its mouth; then he takes in his
right hand heavy stone, to which is attached
a strong line. and thus equipped he plunges
in and quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly
opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh
water, he springs up the ascending current, at
the same time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up, and
the diver after taking breath, plunges in again.
the source of these copious submarine springs
is thought to be the green hills Of Osman,
some five or SIX hundred miles distant.

San Francisco, June 15.-This morning
John Porter, bricklayer residing a t San
Miguel Station, went to the house of D. c.
Haley, and asked Mr.. Haley if his wife was
there. Receiving an answer in the negative,
he accused Mr.. Haley of lying to him, broke
in the door with an ak, and knocked Mrs
Haley down, and beat and kicked her
severely. She was at once brought into the
city, but on her way to the receiving hos
pital was prematurely delivered of still born
child, and now lies in very precarlOus con-
dition. Porter has not yet been arrested.
Detective Jehu arrived from Seattle on
Wednesday, bringing with him Frederick B.
Graham, whom he arrested ON charge of
embezzlement Graham was formerly an
officer in one of the lodges of Odd Fellows i'll
this city, and il is alleged in October last Oh
tanned from Mrs. Larsen, a widow, about
800 worth of stock for the purpose of selling
it for her. He sold the stock, and, with the
money in his pocket, soon after sat down and
took hand in "a little game of draw" in
which he lost the whole amount. He then
suddenly disappeared and went to Seattle.

OF land situated in the vicinity of Sixth, Berry
and Channel streets, taking the title in his
own name as the agent and trustee of Mr..
Ralston, who furnished the purchase money.
That on August %, 1875, Ralslon sold and
conveyed te Sharon his interest in the lands,

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, June s, 1873.

WASHINGTON, June 8, 1878.
The chief card in the Louisiana election
frauds investigation, James <. Anderson,
who manipulated the returns from the Parish
of East Feliciana, and entered into written
contract, having for its object the securing
for himself the appointment of naval officer
for the port of New Orleans, seems to be
false knave. On the DISCRIMINATION to
which he was subjected by Mr. Reed, he
naively admitted that he had sworn one way
before the Senate Committee and another
way before the House Commute with the in
genuous child like intent of misleading both
committees He also admitted that although
he had taken an oath to tell the whole truth,
he thought there was not much wrong in sup
pressing, as he did, part of it. Such an
easy going, voluntary witness is greatly to be
admired for the unconscious manner in which
he confesses himself to be perjured rascal;
and one scarcely knows whether to be indig-
nant or laugh at such villainous roguery. Old
AIeck Stephens says the Investigation viii
either be tragedy or farce, and Andersons
testimony goes far to help the public to
sight of the latter play. The subse-
quent discovery that Anderson had committed
forgery in signing the name of d. B. Weber
(since dead) to the so-called contract, Is
pared with his barefaced and impudent per-
jury. Considering that he was graduated in
the State of Quakers, at Presbyterian Sun
day School, he is certainly very bad boy.
The investigators were at first inclined to be
hilarious over the testimony of Judge Le-
visse, one of the Louisiana electors on the
Hayes and Wheeler ticket, who swore that
his signature attached to the certificate sent
to the President pro :empore of the Senate,
was forgery. The fact that Levisees name
had been signed By somebody else to one of
the two certificates sent was known, pub
lished and commented on months ago; but
the fact remained, notwithstanding the irreg
ularlty, that the votes we're duly cast for Hayes
This, coupled with a statement by Levisee
that followed, viz: that he was offered
100000 by Democrat named Samuel N.
Asher, if he would cast his vote for Tilden,
took of heap of the hilarity. 1t is now be-
coming clear that the Great Investigation will
prove to be dead failure. The country has
awakened from its deep sleep, and by con-
ventions, meetings and newspapers is warn
ing the revolutionists that they have gone far
enough. Even Tammany Hall has declared
that the matter can only be cured by the !
ballot box in 1880. PALTA.

There is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market DR.. Undcrhill, the wcll-known
grape grower Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind. that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market. and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded In arranging for settlement
OF the estate and the sale Of the wines on
hand. Among these is a wine of the rntage
Of 1861, described as a Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purify. age and mcllowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and wine-
fanciers have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the wcll-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Ti16hhe,

OF progress, and bore witness to
the zsal, fidelity and ability of their
instructress. Miss Blain has had
long experience, and has ever given
the greatest satisfaction. Too
much praise cannot be awarded her
Tor her success in organizing and
instructing this large number of
little folks.
The primary scholars having
been dismissed, tho examinations
were continued in tho main build
ing, being conducted by tho princi>
pal, Mr.. Davis. The grammar
department averages about ninety
five pupils, divided into four grades,
each grade distinct from the others.
1t is in charge Of the principal and
his assistant, Miss Emily Obear,
who has proven herself admirably
fitted for her duties, by culture
and II rare devotion to duty. TO
her was entrusted the study-room
of the girls, though both sexes
recited together.
The fourth grade was first passed
in review, and created much in terest
by their promptness and enthus ST.
asm. The spelling match between
this grade and the third. or next
higher, was much enjoyed. Want
of time prevented final victory on
either side.
Then the third grade was called
up on arithmetic and other studies,
and briefly reviewed. These pupils
did very nicely, also. The second
grade then followed apd answered
correctly the questions put to
them at random. They passed Il
very good examination on arith-
metic, and could have gone much
further had time allowed. But
the sun had passed the meridian,
and it was found necessary to
abridgo the exercises, much to the
regret of the principal.
The first grade was then
called, and it's work began in
the reduction of large COM
plex faction, so arranged as to
embrace all the rules and reasons
IN common divisor, common
multiple, common fractions and
decimals. 1t was reduced step by
step, the reason for every rule
being carefully and succinctly
stated. Indeed, the principle upon
which the school has been con-
Quoted is, that there is a reason for
everything, Unu jhaI the pupil
must give THAI lc@s n 0. be deemed

ANIMATION wus very satisfactory.
1t was followed by u review III
algebra, in winch examples were
chosen to show that the pupils had
IL conception of mathema atic al
truths and principles, and we're
not working by thumb and rule
line. This being concluded, the
day was too far spent for anything
more than Il spelling match between
the first and the second grado, which
resulted in tie between two OF
the young ladies, one of each grade.
This was conducted by Comlnis~
sioner Richardson.
Superintendent Thompson then,
by request, nude few very happy
remarks to the scholars, congratu-
lating both them and himself on
the success of the system. He
brought down the house by saying
that he had just discovered that
he had made the mistake of his
life in teachirg only boys. This
school was a complete success as
an experiment in the co-education
Of the sexes. He paid handsome
compliment to Mount Zion in the
days of MIR. Hudson, and Expressed
