From the Reno Gazette,
The Eureka SENTINEL Of the 10Th
to US with a full account Of the fire. A
commendable piece Of enterprise, consider
ing that its Office was burned after mid
night of the night before. 1t rises out of
its ashes to tell the tardy Eurekans Il
told you SO" but it turns the reminder to
good account, and ends by ignoring its
own losses and cheers the hearts Of the
people by brave words. The Gazette"
sends the greeting swell done" to the
SENTINEL. and hopes it may prosper.
From the Alta California.
The fire fiend has brought suffering and
desolation to hundreds of families, and
destroyed many a cherished home. Want
and suffering have usurped the place Of
plenty and prosperity. San Francisco,
never laggard in acts Of kindly charity,
has already initiated q movement to relieve
the wants Of the burned-out, homeless opes.
From the Sacramento Record Union.
Several hundred families have been
rendered not only destitute but homeless,
by that calamity, and measures Of relief
should be promptly taken. 1t must be re-
membcred that they are exposed to a very
different climate from that VI Sacramento,
and the budding together on the bleak
hillside in that elevated region must in
volve the bitterest hardship, and to chill
dren and delicate persons may well mean
death. 1t is not necessary to urge upon
the citizens OF Sacramento the propriety Of
meeting this appeal with generosity. but
1t il we'll to point out that in all probable
ity supplies Of various kinds are much
more needed than money, and that what
ever is given should be forwarded with as
little delay as possible.

the Pacific is soon to be supplied. OF
the value of the property to be sold I'VE
know nothing. In rough guess, we
estimate the franchises, charter and
the location of the road worth, In the
long run, more to capitalists than all
the property of the road. 1t is link
without the possibility of competition
the nigh-cut from ocean to ocean.
AS such, the road should command a
large price.
The sale will probably take place not
later than September, from what we
can gather, and probably as carly as
July next. But the public will not be
long in doubt as to the exact day,
since the sale will be speedily adver-
tised and for the term of sixty days.
Whoever shall come into possession OF
the road, at the sale, 1t is but good
common sense to presume that the
work of completing the road will be at
once begun, and that before another
President is warm in his seat, North
Louisiana will hear the neigh of the
iron-horse from the far-of plains of
Western Texas.

Though the Governor has declined
to be interviewed regarding his ru-
mored purpose of resignation, we learn
he has, within the last few days, ex-
pressed his determination to several
prominent members of the Convention
to resign, if there is any reputation
of the State bonds, which he regards
as having received the sanction of the
people and to which the filth of his
administration has been pledged
~. o. Ecening News.
The statement of the News is rather
vague. The people do not propose to
,'epet7iate any debt, whatever, honestly
incurred, far less any they have sane
toned. We infer, therefore, that Gov.
Nichols will not resign. But, in an
other view, should the Convention de-
eide that certain claims against the
State are fraudulent, and that as to all
others payment can only be made in
proportion to the ability of the tax
payer to pay, and then after such deci.
sion Gov. Nichols should resign, there
is but little doubt he will be permitted
to do so. There is plenty of split tim
Der of which to make Governors, but
the supply is wholly Inadequate tc

comprehensive charge delivered to
them by Judge Parsons. The Jury
has a comfortable audience chamber

There are, we learn from Mr.. Green,
the Clerk, about 100 new cases on the
Courts docket, equally divided be-
tween the civil and the criminal. The
criminal cases will be taken up next
Monday. They are mainly prosecu-
tions for minor offenses, such as
assault and battery, failure to work
the roads, etc. There are only two or
three of graver character.

The writer, better known as Mack

years. His opportunities were supe-

he improved them. He can read we'll.

He was recognized authority among

were to be had without toll and with

door, extended every hand and prof

THE CONVENTION PRINTING.

ness for Office, or possibly following
his boyfsh efforts to find lost ball by
sending q second ball in the same di-
recti on, the Editor of this paper went
to New Orleans with the patriotic pur-
pose of doing the printing for the Con-
stitutionai Convention-as our readers
were thoughtlessly told two weeks ago
by the Editor pro tenn. On the morn
ing the Democratic caucus met, the
laudable purpose we had in view was
thus explained in circular spread
upon the desks of the several members
of the caucus:
FOR PRINTER TO THE CONVENTIONS.
NEW ORLEANS, April 81, 1879.
I respectfully announce to the dele
gates of the Democratic caucus my
name as q candidate for Printer to the
Convention: If, as Editor Of the QUA
CIIITA TELEGRAPH, since its fOunda-
ton In 1861 have been able to do any,
thing emitting me to tho favorable
consideration of the members of the
caucus, I shall be grateful for their
support. If not, I will still have the
pleasure of knowing that Louisiana is
about to be redeemed.
Respectfully, G.. w. MECHANIC.
When the caucus met and a vote was
taken for Printer, the amiablc Secre-
tary, our friend Frank McGloin, an
nounced that the vote stood. H.
Cosgrove 81 votes, g. w. Mechanic 81
votes. At tho time, we thought strange
of tho result, and continued to think it
was strange until tho Now Orleans
Democrat, two or three days after
wards, announced that Mr.. Cosgrovc
represented that sterling Democratic
journal. The explanation was highly
satisfactory, every way, and the result
gave US no pain whatever. First, be-
cause We were as anxious to be rid of
the printing, after making an estimate,
as we were, before knowing the rates
established, to get it; and, secondly,
because the printing has gone into good
hands. And, thus, we willingly go
fOot-to have another fifteen years.
spell. To the thirty-onc delegates who
honored US with their surport-many
of them among tho ablest men in the
Convention-the defeated candidate
for Printer owes his lasting obligations.
His only regret is, that their preference
should have fallen upon one who was
adjudged by their colleagues not de-
serving such distinction.
