DAGGETT APOLOGISES.

Yesterdays Enterprise contains an apology
from Mr. Daggett to Mr., Tyrrell. Some
years ago a shocking woman murder was COM
united in Boston by man named Tyrrell
Mr. A. J. Tyrrell of Virginia City was in
San Francisco at the time this murder was
committed. Not knowing this, Daggett,
moved by the FIRE of indignation, accused
Tyrrell of having murdered a woman This
accusation was brought in the interest of
humanity. Politics had nothing to do with
it. Appearances would seem to indicate
otherwise. But appearances are deceptive
The accusation coming from a rival candidate
of Mr.. Tyrrell's, looked as if Mr.. Daggett
were actuated by desire to hurt an opponent
10y linking his name with an infamous crime
Also this apology, coming as it does, at this
tune, on the eve of the primaries, as it were,
looks as if there were more politics than
Justice in the disclaimer. But these appear
ances are totally at variance with the actual
nature of the case. Daggett is above all
such petty meannesses If he has said any
thing derogatory of General Batterman it is
because he has been misled; and he will
hasten to apologies to that worthy gentleman.
He has insinuated very broadly that General
Conner, an honorable competitor of his for
the gubernatorial nomination, is a Central
Pacific Railroad candidate. The accusation,
made no doubt, in wholly disinterested way,
happens to be entirely unwarranted by the
facts. We have no doubt that an early issue
of the Enterprise will discover Mr.. Daggett
In the attitude of an apologist to General
Common. 1t is unfortunate that Brother Dag
eetts derogatory speeches and screeds should
thus be made to appear as if prompted by
Tiean and unmanly desire to use the leading
Republican paper of tho State as an instru-
ulcnt with which to IN lure the personal and
political standing of Mr.. Daggctt's competit-
ers for the Republican nomination for Cover
nor. 1t is merely a coincidence, however.
This apology to Mr.. Tyrrell places Mr.. Dag
gett in the true light. His professional ardor
in donouncing suppositive cases of wrong
doing is only eXcelled by his eagerness to
spologise for having been the unhappy me-
dium through which to infict injury and in
Justice upon those whose aspirations run
counter to his own. But appearances, as we
said before, are very apt to mislead the casual
observer

THE TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Bosnians are rising OH every hand.
They have our hearty sympathy. We hope
that the Slavic populations, uniting against
the common enemy, the hated Austrian, may
be able to wage successful war against that
cruel and oppressive tyrant. How the devo-
ted Slavonians have suffered! Assaulted,
murdered and carried INTO slavery by the
Turks, on one hand, betrayed, oppressed and
given over to the rankest in Justice by the in
famous House Of Hapsburg on the other, it is
virtue i'll them to take arms against their
ruthless invaders. In all the history of Euro
pean wars nothing exhibits such tenacity of
heroism as has been displayed for FIVE hundred
years by the sons of Montenegro With a
force as OF one to ten, they have hurled back
the invading Turk with such blows as rem
dered immortal the defenders of Thermopol@.
Herzegovina, Dalmatia, BoSnia-these are
the households OF the oppressed The civil
zatiOn of Europe is put to the blush by the
approved and warranted diabolisms OF the
Austrian Government For years it DONNA
ted Italy and plundered its people. By the
genius of Cavour some of this robbery was
brought to an end. United Italy rose upon
the buried past of Austrian tyranny. Let us
hope that the time is at hand when the peo-
pies who so long have been under the hated
yoke of the Hapsburgs will achieve an indie
pendence as complete and gratifying as that
which has made Italy so free and so prosper
GUS .... The dreadful returns from the
yellow fever districts continue to come in.
They are more terrible than the reports of
the dead after a series of battles. Memphis
seems to be almost worse off than New Or
leans. Hundreds of new cases are reported
daily, in Vicksburg, Port Gibson, and in all
the larger towns along the lower Mississippi.
In the meantime the North is pouring out of
its bounty in the most spontaneous and liberal
way. st. Louis has sent not less than SO, 900,
and there is scarce a town or village that has
not sent something handsome. 49,. On the

A STREET JUGGLER. Reno Record of
Tuesday tells the following:
A somewhat aged son of the Emerald Isle
by the name of Price amused quite crowd
of men in Pechner and Coleman's barber
show this morning by doing several very nice
tricks of legerdemain. The first trick he at
tempted was to change half dollar from one
mans hand to his own. The Gazette reporter
was chosen as his assistant, and was handed
a half dollar, with a request to hold it tightly
in his hand. He complied with this very
reasonable requirement by closing his hand,
and holding on to the coin like good one.
The old man then showed up an old copper
cent in his own paw, closed down on it waved
his arms in the air and requested the reporter
to open his hand He did 80, and when he
saw that old copper lying in his palm, while
the old man triumphantly held up the silver,
the visions of ice cold lager which had been
floating through his brain melted into thin
air. The old gentleman took up small col
lection from the bystanders and mosied

STRIKE IN THE RICHMOND. Says the Eu

STRIKE IN THE RICHMOND. the Eu-
reka Lealer of Monday;
most Important discovery has been made
in the Richmond mine, development that
iusures the future of that property, and will
have a most favorable influence on the pros
X,erity of Eureka. The find was made on the
fifth level following up stringer of ore, the
drift opened out into large cave. The floor
OF this cavern is one solid mass of rich rock of
- very high grade, and the deposit has been
prospected sufficiently to prove that it is of
mammoth proportions. There is enough ore
an sight to run the furnace for year to come
without drawing upon the existing reserves.
T'his discovery will be good news to all in
terestod in the future of the Base Range. 1t
yaeans steady employment for 400 men or
more, besides the indirect influence that it
will have Oh industries dependent upon the
mines. With Ruby Hill turning out its wealth
IN a constant stream, and the mineral belts
from the Hoossc to the Bullwhacker adding
ats quota, We can laugh at the bugbear of dull
times that is blighting other localities, and
safely predict growth and enhanced value
70 every interest that centers at this point.
We congratulate our business mon and citi-
zens on the improved outlook.

OF FISHES IN TIL
HUMBOLDT

The Elko independent of Monday calls at
tenton to some detestable and deleterious
practices as follows:
In view of the fact that enterprising citi-
zens Of ElkO. aided by the State Fish Com
missioner, are making arrangements to stock
our streams with wholesome food fishes from
other countries, it is deeply notifying to
know that selfish men in our own vicinity are
at this moment doing all i'll their power to
thwart the contemplated enterprise. We have
already called attention TO the fact that law
less ot-hunters, for the sake of gaining a
few paltry dollars, rapidly declmating the
native fishes of the Humboldt and other
streams i'll this region, by the use of weirs,
traps and giant powder. To make this work
of wholesale ruin more complete and to rem
der the propagation of the fnny tribes utterly
impossible i'll our waters, we now learn from
credible authority, that certain ranch owners
in this county are actively engaged in con-
structing dams at several points along the
Humboldt for the purpose of turning the
stream from its original channel. These
dams are being constructed of alternating
layers of willow brush so arranged that the
smallest minnow cannot pass through or over
the impenetrable barrier. The result of this
damming process will be the complete destruc-
ton of all the fishes below the distractions,
and will for all time prevent the free migra-
ton of the fry to their accustomed spawning
grounds Thus it will be seen that few
careless and improvident citizens may deprive
whole communities of valuable food supply
and commit with impunity an open violation
of statutory law.
We do not desire to speak harshly nor in
considerably of any of our neighbors nor do
we mean to throw obstacles in the way OF le
gitimate ranch irrigation; but We do affirm
that it is ungenerous and outrageous to de-
liberately destroy the fish life of the State by
processes such as We have enumerated. The
laws for the protection of game and fish in
Nevada are ample for the purpose, if they
can be properly applied, and We earnestly
hope that the citizens of EIko and neighbor |
ing towns may Immediately form gams-pro-
tective clubs whose duty it shall be to see
that the laws are adequately enforced.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Captain Eads expert
ences some difficulty in getting the money for car
rying on his work The third section Of the act of
the last session Of Congress authorizes the Secre-
tary Of War TO draw his warrant on the Secretary
of the Treasury in favor of Captain Eads monthly,
for such sums, not exceeding in the aggregate the
gross sum Of 100000 as he may require IN the
prosection Of the work. Captain Eads, who is in
the city, has had an interview with the Secretary
of the Treasury in regard to his claim for
a monthly instalment as provided above. The
Second Controller, before whom the warrant
now rests maintains that the material furnished for
the work must he actually consumed before the
money can be drawn, while Captain Eads claims
that the purchase Of material for the work and its
delivery there for that purpose are full comph-
ance with the spirit and letter of the law.
BY direction of the Secretary Of the Treasury, the
point at issue has been referred TO the Attorney
General. Should this construction of the law be
sustained by the latter will virtually suspend the
work until Congress can take further action. All
material, Captain Eads says, must be paid for be-
fore going into tho work.

cities have been making representations to the Commits

part of dstlers and recners In Cincinnati was being

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue believes that
he has discovered the Of the low price OF spirits In
Cincinnati This, he thinks is neither result OF favor
ism OF fraud the Government, but of fraud by
the whiskey men upon the commercial public by the
publication Of false quotations Of price. The Commis-
sioner has received report from Collector Smith, of
Cincinnati, and Revenue Agent Mitchell giving
the details of the transactions in highwines
between the disters and reoers OF Cincinnati for the
months Of June July and August Of this year. From this
1t appears that with the exception ofOne distery the

1t is obvious, says the Commissioner that the recer
makes concession to the dister in regard to the guam
tty while the dstiller makes concession to the rec
fer with respect to the price, that in point Of fact the
