yesterday received the following dis
patch: III afa ras1 -
HILLsBoRo, ONO, Nov. 29, '78.
Superintendent Toorhees:
SIR-Robert Mckinney, better known
as '.Reddyr the stage robber, has been
captured and is In Jail at this place.
]. r. MARSHALL.
Mr.. Voorhees, telegraphed immedi-
ately to Marshall asking what the pros
pect will be for having Reddy brought
to Wyoming for trial, but up to a late
hour last night had received no reply.
Since breaking Jail Reddy fell In with
a gang Of other thieves, and the band
has comtnitted several burglaries in
southern Ohio and northern Kentucky.
There were other crimes committed BY
Reddy prior to his exploits in Wyoming.
1t is therefore doubtful about bis being
tried In this territory for the crimes
committed here.

The prisoner was defended by an array
Of counsel that comprise the shrewdest,
most experienced aud eloquent lawyers
Of the Deadwood lar. the reputation
and character of the prisoner in this
community, before he became o subject
Of suspicion in connection with this
homicide, vas, so far as the general
public are concerned, that of an upright
and law-abiding citizen, prosecuting a
profitable and successful business. We
content ourselves in stating these facts,
with the belief, that in arriving at,
and rendering the verdict they did, the
jury did sc with u conscientious and
Intelligent compliance of their oaths,
and without bias or prejudice.

In the first degree will result in his
execution unless his lawyers succeed

Yesterday morning Mr.. George W.
Chubb arrived In the city from the
north. 1t will be remembered by our
readers that he was one Of the passen-
gers robbed on the coach by road agents,
on the 22d instant, between Forts Fet-
terman and Mckinney. Mr.. Chubb
says the robbers relieved him Of s37. so
in money and about $50 worth Of wear
ing apparel, etc. Among the lot were
two valuable California blankets and a
highly priced buffalo robe. Thomas
Williams, another passenger, was also
a loser to the tune Of about 300 in
money and goods. Mr.. Chubb says the
officers are In pursuit Of the road
agents who are known by the cogno-
mems of "Cullyy and "The Ladd." 1t
is believed that the rascals win yet be
captured.

Scott. Siddons.

The readings last night ut Recrea-
ton Hall by the eminent elocutlonist,
Mrs. Scott-Siddons under the auspices
Of the Alert hose company, drew a
large and app~reciatiye audience. The
Alertss with their usual enterprise, had
the stage ta%stefully decorated with
American, flags and otherwise rendered
attractive. at the appointed time
Mrs. S~cott-Siddons made her appear
ance, dressed In a neat but not gaudy
manner. OF fine personal appearance,
with a graceful and captivating man
ner, she at once commanded the undi-
vided attention Of her audience. The
selections rendered by her during the
evening were "Much Ado about Moth
ing" Curfew must not Ring To-
night" "Father Phil's Collection"
"Sleep Walking Scene" in Macbeth, "a
Senator Entangled, - 'sThe Greed Of the
Bells, s.Love scene from Henry w
and a scene from "The School for
Scandal"
1t was evident that the lady was fa-
tigued, for she lacked that spirit which
usually c~haracterizes her renditions,
and one became impressed with the
thought that she was ever anxious to
reach the end Of the programme. Her
personation Of the scene from Macbeth
was undoubtedly the best. Mrs. Sid
dons seemed to call forth all reserve
force for this effort, and the effect was
marked on the subsequent recitations.
There were three selections which de-
monstrated the lady's initiative powers.
These were "Father Pills Collection

sounded; IA Senator Entangled," CIV

THE nomination of Gen. John C..
Fremont as Governor of Arizona
Territory will be approved by all
Pioneers who have
learned of the Pathfinder's exceed
ing poverty. Probably no man
who ever appeared in American
politics went up so remarkably
like rocket, or came down so not
ably like a stick, as Gen. Fremont.
We regret to learn that Gen. FIRE.
mont and his gifted wife have been
suffering, for years past, the ex-
treme of poverty in New York
city.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-06-12

GENERAL GRANT, since he left
the White House, has become very
garrulous. In a late conversation
he says he could never discover
much disparity in numbers be-
tween the Union and rebel forces.
This later statement of Gen. Grant
is somewhat at variance with that
which he made in an official report,
in which he stated that he over
came the rebellion purely by the
"attrition" of superior numbers.
The force surrendered by Gen.
Robert E. Lee at Appommattox
Court House comprised exactly
nineteen thousand men Of all
arms. Certainly Gen. Grants
army numbered ten times those
figures. Not only that, but Ora nts
army was continually being re-
newed. 1t is matter of record
that, within six months of the col
lapse of the Rebellion, President
Lincoln levied drafts amounting,
in all, to one million of men.
Grant, in his days of modesty and
merit, told the truth. Too much
flattery has turned his head in his
old days. He should stick to his
original aud true theory of the at
triton of superior numbers.

JOHN F. GODFREY.

WE have before us letter which
contains q list of nominations which
pufports to have been made by a
Democratic Convention at Merced.
In this connection the following
questions occur: Who called this
Merced Convention? Who repre-.
sented Los Angeles county in it?
What element Of validity has it?
These are important questions-so
important that we do not deem it
worth while to give this ticket,
which appears to US, as the case
stands now, to be pseudo-Demo-
cratic, more than the honor of
q passing mention. We have been
heartily in favor of regular Demo-
cratic nominations. Our wish has
been disappointed. We have suf-
fered from poignant sense Of the
fact that the Democratic party has
made o mistake. AS the case
stands now, however, considering
the action of the Democratic Coun-
ty Committee of Los Angeles In
sending delegates to the San Jose
Convention, we cannot resist the
conclusion that the nominees of
that Convention are entitled to the
votes of the Democracy of Los An.
geles county. We cannot, further,
resist the conclusion that these
nominees will be elected. Some
Of them are men of conspicuous
worth and fitness. We decline,
at the eleventh hour, hoistlng to
the head of the HERALD NOM
nations which claim, on in
sufficient grounds, to be Demo-
cratic. The nominees of the First
Congressional District and of Los
Angeles county, being undoubtedly
regular, appear at the head of our
columns. AS journalist we also
wish to be placed upon record as
thinking that the regular Demo-
cratic ticket of Los Angeles county
and the nominees of the San Jose
Convention will receive the bulk
of the votes of the electors Of Los
Angeles county, irrespective of
party as regards the San Jose
ticket, and practically so with re-
spect to the local Democratic
ticket. The men upon the last are
of an excellence so conspicuous
that, even without the endorse
ment of the dominant party, they
would be certain of an election.
