There is another temporary lull in

ton, and there is talk of an informal
meeting of all the foreign ambassador
at the court of Berlin, to make orange
ments to hold the congress /; but little
hope for the success of such an ex peri.
ment is felt here. Both governments
continue war preparations on q very
large scale, and the Russians are put
ting a heavy pressure on Turkey to
obtain an alliance in the event OF war
with England. The Times has an i'm
partial, but rather mysterious editorial,
on the possibility of some special act by
the military or naval commanders on
one side or the other, preclpitating war
in case OF the certain failure of nego
tiations, by taking decided action ap.
parently without orders, thus enabling
the British government to force Russia
to declare war. There has been less
excitement at the Portsmouth DOCK
yard this week. Work is fast assuming
the ordinary routine character. Over
time has been generally stopped, and
very little remains to be done in the
way OF warlike preparations. On
Monday it became known that a letter
had been forwarded from the Admir-
atty to Portsmouth, asking how long 1t

R E DAILY SENTINEL.
SUNDAY, APRIL "A. 1878.


For several weeks past, says the
Ne,os, the influx of laboring men from
other parts of the country to Gold Hill
and Virginia City has been largely on
the increase. Our streets are crowded
daily with new and strange faces. and
the foremen and superintendents of
the mines and mills are besought and
begged hourly for work to relieve the
actual want and hunger of the appli-
Giants. Yet with all that has been writ
ten and said in regard to the lack OF
employment for laborers on the Com
stock, poor people persist in coming
here by the hundreds. in the vain hope
of lettering their condition. This
is ell wrong, and our exchanges can
not do a better thing for laborers of
distant States than to tell them, as we
do most emphatically, that on the
Comstock there is no Work for them,
and that it is the height of foolishness
for them to come here in the belief
that in some way or other they can
yet work and be able to makes living.
The of employment here
are confined almost entirely to the
mines and mills, outside Of which
there is but little chance for obtain
ing work of any kind. These are not
only supplied to overlooking, but
there are from 1000 to 1900 men here
daily walking about and begging for
work. Many of these men have
families AMI can not possibly get
away, but must live on charity,
starve, or do the best they car until
in some way or other, God knows
how, they may get something to do.
Let poor folks who contemplate a
change of residence. go to any other
portion of the country in preference to
coming here. In the hay and harvest
fields of California men can get at least
q dollar a day and their board, while
here they may wear out their lives and
manhood for months, without doing as
we'll. Again We say, do not come to
the Comstock for work. 1t is not here
for you.
The same state of affairs obtains in
Eureka, but probably not to the same
extent as on the Comstock.

The Department OF state has not yet

structions to Minister Foster, on re-
turning to Mexico, authorized him to
do SO should he find a proper condi
ton of affairs to warrant 1t. b
reasons for its recognition are that It
has shown a disposition to arrange all
matters ia dispute between the two
governments, and give evidence OF
its earnestness in that direction, having,
among other things. sent federal troops
to the frontier TO preserve the peace,
thus supplanting an inefficient militia /;
consequently no serious raids have
occurred on the Rio Grande for the
last three months. Besides. the Mexi-
can government has promptly paid, as
they became due, TWO installments of

dealing faro at table in one of tho
new gambling shops which have sprung
with the town into life, and Young
Leslie Mccoy, the son of judge Mccoy
was playing. The limit of the game
according To this report, was two dol
lars and fifty cents, but Mccoy per-
sisted in pressing the limit and i'm bet
ting more than the rules permitted. A
running quarrel was kept up for some
time. At last Mccoy made bet Of
three dollars and seventy. five cents and
then when he lost undertook To reclaim
one dollar and twenty-five cents, claim

had come 10 an end. The guns i'm the
hands OF both the men were raised al
most simultaneously, and both fired nj
very nearly the same time, the barrels

table. Whether either ball took effect
does not appear, but il seems quite
probable that in the excitement both
missed their aim, close as they were To
each other At any rate. three shots
were hred by each of the parties before
the dreadful duel came to an end. when
the crowd rushed back, TO find both
men reeking in blood Mccoy was
lying across the deal-table, and had al
ready breathed his last. The bullet
which had proved fatal had gone direct
TO the seat of life, passing through the
heart Mccoy had also given his
antagonist ball in the head, which if
1t does not prove, or has not proved,
fatal, will give Green great trouble. and
be the cause Of disfguring his counte-
nance for life. Green was shot in the
leit eye, the ball ranging down and
coming out under the right jaw.
