CAMP NC DERAIIT.

As to the importance of Camp McDermit as
frontier post and means of defense against
the Indians, the Silver State Of Thursday
says: "There are now three companies of cay
airy at camp McDermjt. One is ordered to
Bidwel, another to Harvey and the third to
Klamath 1t does not appear to be the in
tention Of the Commander Of the Military Di-
vision of the Pacific to station cavalry at Nc
Dermit during the Winter, though the neces-
sity for doing so is apparent to every officer
who has been stationed at that Post since the
Bannock outbreak last Summer. Colonel
Wilkins, who has been commanding the for
ces at the Post for some time past, espresso
the opinion here yesterday that it was neces-
sary that at least two companies, one Of cav
airy and another Of infantry, should be sta
toned there as it is situated in the heart of
the Indian country and there are over 800 IN
dams now congregated in its vicinity. The
cavalry are necessary to scout through the
country north, east and west from the Post
and see that the Indians behave themselves
If this precaution had been adopted last Sum
mer it would have saved the lives and prop
erty of settlers in Grant and Baker counties, |
Oregon, and prevented the general stampede |
of families from their homes to MCDermit |
and Winnemucca.

A LIVERPOOL youth married. and, leaving
his wife, went to Bombay. In year he
heard that his wife was dead, and after de-
cent interval married another Later on he
returned to his native land, and, greatly to
his surprise, WAS joyopsly greeted by his
first wife. An amicable arrangement was
made, and he returned to his first lo.e, the
other agreeing to 90 back to her friends in
India. Next the wife did die, and no mistake
about it. Then the young man looked about
for the other, and found that she had not
gone back to India, but was living with an
other man as his wife. Last scene of all in
this strange eventful history, the young man
is before Police Court for neglecting his
wife and child and leaving them to come upon
the parish, the result of the dessrtion of the
other fellow. 1t is to be hoped the Court will
be able to untangle the rights of the case.

The Sweetwater Murder.

The readers OF the NKws will remsm-
Der that Samuel Halsey. late candidate
for District Attorney in Esmeralda
county. was shot and killed at Sweet.
water Station last Sunday by Bill Pierce.
q young man who kept q saloon at that
place. From the Genoa Nsrs we learn
what purports to be the circumstances OF
the tragedy. as follows: Halsey was
working for Williams In the mountains.
and came down to Pierce's saloon q day
or two previous TO his death. While
there Pierce asked him to SO down to
Elbow Station aud work for him. stating
that he had bought the place Of Mr..
Holdridge and would need help. Halsey
told him that he had . job with Mr..
Williams and did not care to change.
When he went home he found that
Mr.. Williams was not quite ready
for him and 80 concluded to 60 and
work for Pierce IL he still desired him
TO do 10. He went to the saloon and
told Pierce that he would work for him.
but that he would have to 60 up in the
mountains after his bedding and clothes.
When he was about to leave the saloon
Pierce asked him to take a drink, which
he declined. Pierce then drew some
money from his pocket aud threw II on
the counter. and bantered Halsey to
shake the dice for 1t. Halsey put up an
equal amount and was about to shake.
when Pierce accused Halsey Of stealing
90 cents from him. Halsey told him he
was mistaken and drew down his part Of
the Pierce wanted 10 shake.
but Halsey declined. Pierce then again
wanted Halsey to drink with him. Hal.
sey said he did not want to drink with q
man who would accuse him Of stealing.
and started to 60 away. when Pierce
picked up one Of the tumblsrs and
threw Ii at Halssy. striking him
in the face and cutting al ugly
gash. Pierce then threw the second
tumbler but missed him. Halsey walked
out Of the door and Pierce came from
behind the counter with q pistol In his
hand. By-standers attempted to pre-
vent his going further. and in the scufle
one shot was discharged through the
PANEL OF the saloon door. Pierce
cooked the pistol again and threatened
to shoot any one who interfered, and
they let him 60. He then walked TO
the door where Halsey was still stand
ing, bleeding from the wound In his
head. and placing the pistol but q few
inches from his breast. fred. Halsey
sank down saying. CHATS all right,
Pierce" and died almost instantly.

Special TO the New York Uorld.
Washington, Dee. | Mach in
di9nation has been excited here
among respectable Republicans, as
well as Democrats, ny The atIociOuS
attacks of the New York Tribune on
Senator Lamar. 1t is considered
that Senator Lamar, more than any
other man, made the existence of the
Hayes administration possible, while
Conkliug was denouncing it every>
where as infamous" Lamar owes
Hayes nothing, while Hayes owes
him much. 4 Ii the summer Senator
Lamar WAS at home in Mississippi,
with his dead and dying, while the
p ,s!ilence was busy in all homes.
There was absolute peace .hrOugh-
out the State, complete acQuies-
cence in the electoral results, on the
part of he blacks as well as whites
The Tribune now attempts to drive
the Southern people into general
hostility to honest money by con
spring with Sherman and HAYES
(whom Sherman now openly ru!eS)
to create Il belief at the North and
West of an attempt to revive sec
tlonal controversy. Senator Lunar
When interviewed in Ohio, said very
truly that it the South found :. If
government assaulted, or attempts
made to overthrow order at the
South by black KearneyiSm, no
question of currency could BE- lis
tened TO. The course of the Tribune
is believed here to be deliberate
attempt Of Jay Could aud his Clique
to disturb the business of the cuun-
try, depTess values and weaken
the influence of those Southern men
who have bravely ami loyalty sup
ported the keeping of public faith
in the public treasury The attack
is also connected with the desperate
atte:npt of the existing Pacific
Railway ring to prevent any con-
of the Southern Pacific
railway, and involves Senator Thur
man Ultimately also, whose great
victory over the existing Pacific
/ ailway ring asserted the absolute
of The Government over
all such corporations. The business
men of the North and the thousands
Of unemployed lahorers in all parts
OF the country are equally assaulted
by these '.dynamIte fiends" in poll
Ii IS, who, for purposes of private
speculation quite as much as party
seek to blacken the
best men of the Sonih, to excite the
worst passions of both sections, to
keep the currency troubles intlamed
and to prevent the revival of gener-
al industry.
