MISS SAMUEL POLLARD.

The Silrer State of Thursday has the follow
ing concerning the great Pollard question:
r. A. Pryor, who went to Tuscarora for the
express purpose of seeing the what is it,
though he alleges that his visit to that place
was on official business, returned last evening
OF course he saw Pollard, who is the hero of
the hour and the sensation of the day. He
describes him as a beardless youth, well
formed five feet nine or ten inches i'll height
and apparently twenty years of age. In
manners he is perfect gentleman, cool, self
possessed and well educated. He smokes
cigars and occasionally INDUCES i'll glass of
beer, but rarely in any stronger drink, He
has worked hard and made many friends i'll
Tuscarora. He declines to make any state
ment relative to the point at issue, but contents
himself with letting people draw their own
conclusions as to his sex and motives in get
ting married He says he will satisfy the peo-
pie as to who and what he is in due time. He
is is under arrest on a charge of per jury al
legged to have been committed at the time he
procured the marriage license. He intends
to lecture in the several towns i'll Nevada, and
from what our informant could learn from
him, his subject will be an interesting one.
Mr.. Pryor has formed an opinion on the
main uuestion-that of Pollard's sex-but
while he expresses it in private conversation
he does not care to make it public.

VERY FUNSY.-A San Francisco exchange
says John f. Owens, the actor, tells with d
gusto his ludicrous adventures during theat-
real trip through the interior of California
with the Crosbie & Mseder party No doubt
Owens enjoyed the fun of his managers pc
cuniary troubles with hotel landlords, hall
owners and printing Office proprietors. The
fact that he bagged the game, taking sixty
per cent. of the gross receipts of the house,
while the impecunious managers had to face
their unrelenting debtors with but an empty
treasury, no doubt addc, a rare zest to the
keen appetite Of this venerable lover Of grim
humor Being a reputed millionaire, for such
he is, Mr.. Owens can afford to be facctious
even in face of the fact that he no longer is
able to draw anything but his salary.

Doves, Doves have put i'll IN appearance
over about Carson, but We have not heard of
any of those birds being seen in this vicinity
thus far this season. These doves are migra
gratory birds, which come here from Mexico,
usually arriving i'll this section IN large num-
beers in the spring months they are not
very good singers, but are very ornamental
to piece of toast. -Remile.
The Mexican dove, hereabout, is generally
of the soiled variety. We never tried one
on toast.

NAPLES CONDITION. the condition of
the man Naples who was shot at Reno the
other night, yesterdays Journal says:
DR.. Bishop tells us that it will be seven or
eight days yet before he can tell how Naples
injuries will result. The DR.. says one of the
wounds may be classed as slight, two Us severe
and the other as dangerous Neither of the
wounds are necessarily fatal, though great
care will have to be taken to prevent a serious
turn. Naples suffers considerably from the
shot in his arm. Being a man of fine consti-
tuition Naples has that much to aid him in re-
covering.

STRONG NoNGNATIoN- Shoemaker,
late of the Grass Valley Union, has been
nominated as one Of the delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention by the non bipartisan
ones, from the Second Congressional
District Of California Our admiration of
the non-partisan business is not of al intense
character, but we suppose it is anything to
beat kearney. Of Shoemakers nomination
the Union truthfully says:
He is known to every one in Nevada He
is a man of brains and education intelligent
and clear on any proposition that comes to
his consideration. He is also a man Of con-
sentative views, and Will make valuable and
useful member Of the Convention.

Dispatches from Washington state
that the Cabinet is head over heels in
the fall campaign. The civil service
rules have been altogether set aside
Shurz made political speech at Cincin-
natl last Friday. Nearly all the other
members of the Cabinet and the Presi-
dent have made political speeches. Ev-
arts will make several speeches in New
York during the last two or three weeks
of the campaign. Attorney General
Devens is going into The Massachusetts,
fight. Vice-President Wkseler will come
to the surface before the campaign is
over in New York. Key has not made
any speeches, as doing so would destroy
his reputation as having any influence
with the Democratic party, but he has
done more for the Republicans than if
he should make speeches. He is absent
ing himself from the department during
the campaign to give Tyner and Brady,
educated in politics by Morton, full
swing of the postal department, that
they may use its influences for the par
ty. The campaign committee takes adj
vantage of the situation, and is now for
cling subscriptions from government
clerks, not even sparing the women.
The Treasury statistlcians have been
busy for weeks furnishing information
for compaign documents, and official
postage stamps have been used to send
thousands of publications through the
mails. The Treasury printing presses
are kept busy printing what hundreds
of clerks are engaged in compiling.

Ringing Words from Ben. Hill

Ringing Words from Ben. Hill.
Atthe great ratification meeting
in Atlanta, Ca. recently, Ben Hill
fairly shook the Gate City with bis
clarion appeals, as with impassioned
voice he told the people to stand by
their nominees. Keep in ranks y
he Numbered, and thundered again.
Keep in ranks p we say to the
dauntless Democrats of the old First
District. and we beg every one Of
them to read and ponder the words
of sobernessnttered by Mr. Hill on
that occasion, Let Tennessee Dem
ocrats take up the echo and ring it
back Ger mountain and hill top, and
through valley and glen until the
heavens shall reverberate with the
swelling chorus. Hills appeal is
not confined to the Democracy of
Georgia. His words are worthy the
careful study of every lover of his
country. Theyare as pointed, ap-
plicable and truthful for the people
Of this Congressional district and
this State, as for his own people
and his own State. We make the
following extracts from his speech:
This country is on the eve of
prosperity never before known, un>
less some exceedingly great madness

how men talk | don't mind how

AN THE 1sT OF MAY, 1876.
" the ownership and control of THE WORLD
passed into the hands of the undersigned, under
WORLD has ever since remained and now remains
During the whole of this time the The WORLD
has labored patiently and perseverngly for the ac-
compIshment OF two great objects in, politics Of
paramount interest to the Southern people.
1.-The restoration of Local Self-Government at
ia Real Reform of the Civil Service, in such
wise to destroy the political machines under the
operation of which it has come to pass that the peo
politccl parties have other reason of being ex-
cept to lessen the burdens of government,
accomplished. All in$eiligent @ Gorthern @ % mem NOW
admit that all parts of the country were as deeply
interested as the South. corrupt and anti Dem
ocratic government in the South was permanent
peril to the ascendancy of true American prinei-
pies in the Federal Government and therefore to
the peace and honor of the whole people.
The second political object for which THEwoRLD
contends still remains to be fully achieved. The
actual Administration began its career with excel
lent promises in this direction of which it is suf-
cent to say that they have been yet only in part
redeemed. The WORLD for it's part will resolukely-
support any honest effort to redeem these promis-
es fully, by whomsoever made, and win as resol-
utely denounee every obstacle thrown in the way
of redaemiRg them, from whatever quarter.
1t seems to the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the cooperation of the best men
of the South with THEWoRrn In itsefforts to carry
out the. policy here outlined. He believes The
WORLD to be.a paper which Southern citizens and
Democrats can recommend to Southern readers as
an influence worthy aud important to be brought
to hear with constantly increasing power upon the
conduct of our national affairs, in the interest," of
truth, of justice and of harmony among our people
of all sectious
1t is my object to keep THE WORLD in a living
relation with the best thought of the South to the
end that the best ideas, wishes and feelings of the
Southern people may be clearly and fairly made
known to the North, the East and the West Alike
in private and lublic affairs the MISUNDERSTANDING
of men by one another lies at the root of SO much
evil that the word itself has come to be SYNONYM
with quarreling and strife. 1t was . wise saying
of Lord Elgin, at the time Of one of our sharpest
disputes With Great Britain, that two intelligent
gentlemen alone raft in the Atlantic with pie
nary powers could adjust the whole matter honor
ably in an honor. HG
TIE WORLD simply asks its friends at the South
to aid it in bringing about complete meeting of
minds on all public questions between the intelli-
gent citizens of all parts of the Uniongi

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

We have furnished our readers
with no details so far of the labors
of Mr.. Potter's Investigating Com
mittee in unearthing election frauds
in Florida and Louisiana. Wewill
only state at present that the repu-
tation of Stanley Matthews is fatally
damaged, as is that of Secretary
Sherman, if he had any reputation
worth keeping. No evidence has
vet been given to show that Mr..
Hayes was personally accessory to
these corrupt dOings. Mr.. b. f.
Butler has brought in paper which
was intended to throw light upon
the "Oid line Wing" intrigue OF the
administration, but nothing of prac'
teal moment was established
When it is all done we will give Oul
readers the summary, with our OWL
commentary upon them. We have
never forgotten while watching
these proceedings that Roscoe Conk
ling and Benjamin Butler wer'
leading agents in getting then
started, and we have watched &C
cordingly.

VOLUME xLVI.

With this weeks issue we enter
on the forty-sixth volume of the
GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE. Our forty
fifth chronicled the direst calamity
which has befallen our city since
the war fiend planted his desolating
footstep in our midst. One-third OF
our fair city has been laid in ashes
and our business transactions are
"cribbed, cabined and confined" in
i'm restricted quarters, nowhere ade-
auate to their magnitude. But ev-
cry indication shows that Volume
XLVI. will chronicle the resurrec-
ton of our city from its ashes, reno
waited in strength and beauty.
We commence the volume under
circumstances usually considered
stimulating to the local press; cleo
tioneering is rife among us; some
fifteen or twenty offices will be va
cant this fall, and mighty band o.
patriots, at the average rate of about
forty to each office, is on fire to de
vote itself to the service of its coun
try. But few of these offices are
necessarily connected with politics
and in regard to all others we expec
to observe a rigid neutrality
Whenever political issues are made
of course we reserve TO ourselve
the privilege of laying down GU
own base of action and stating on
own views. We trust that all bitter
ness of personal acrimOny will b
avoided and that men will meet a
issues in the spirit of mutual respeC
as well as that of self-respect. Tn
game of coarse invective is one i
which all are losers and no winner
The future course of the CHRoN
Gle, whether in politics or in augf
else, will not be predicted by us
the spirit of extravagant promls
but her future must be conjecture
from her past. Her motto is, Q'tal

Your note of even date has just
been received. Neither Mr.. Hayes,
myself, the gentlemen who accom-
pany me, nor the country at large,
can ever forget the obligations
under which you will have placed
us should you stand firm in the
position you have taken. From a
| long and intimate acquaintance
with Governor Hayes, am justified
in assuming responsibility for prom
ises made, and will guarantee you

cal, and in such a manner as viii
enable you both to leave Louisiana
should you deem it necessary.

Stand to Your COIOrs.
HawesyiIle Plaindealer.

If there ever was a time when
sober honest men of the country
should stick to first principles, it is
now, when socialism, communism
and disorganizers are so rife in the
land. The old Democratic party
sticks by the ancient landmarks of
the Confederacy, and opposes all
modern revolutionary ideas. Under
their guidance the Republic has
been preserved for supremacy, got
control of the country. Radicalism
has brought us to the brink of de-
struction, but in doing so, has made
itself so 0dious that it has become
impotent for further injury. Itnow
breaks up into guerilla factions,
hoping to complete the destruction
of Republican liberty, by encour-
aging the desperadoes that its viii
famous work has made. If the
country is saved it will be through
the Democratic party, and not
through any party based on a one
idea, folly.
