WASHINGTON, D. C., June I0.-Persons who
ought to know say that the new Nicaraguan
Canal Company, which has just obtained q
concession from the Nicaraguan Govern
ment, in the interests Of which Capt Phelps
has recently started for London to operate
against the De Lesseps scheme, is the Com

that Grants name was much mentioned by
Admiral Ammen and others in connection
with the canal scheme some Of Grants
practical business friends said that the Presi-
dency Of no canal company could be offered
to Gen. Grant until there was a company,
and that the basis of company must fsrt be-
established in concession from the Nltnra-

been obtained, and it is to be made

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 19.-The story
that an American eagle alighted upon Gen.
Garfeld's home when the toll-cal at the
Chicago Convention approached the thirty
ninth ballot. is true. A child OF 10 years
playing In the yard with nurse, came rush
ing into the house saying, "Ah, papa is
going to be nominated, surely. There
is an eagle on the house"
At least If it was not an eagle it
looked very much like one. In referring to
this subject, Gen. Garfield is reported to have
said that he was never superstftiously In
c1incd. but was more pleased with what he
considers the agreeable Significance of the
incident as it happened. than he would have
been if it had taken the shape of some gloomy
and forbidding augury.

TILDEN,


SIA1EhENI6 REGARDING
HIS WITHDRAWAL.
Special Dspdtth to Ihe Chicago Trfbune.
NEW YORK, June 19.-Two of the New
York correspondents at Cincinnati sent dis
patches to their papers this morning stating
positively that Tilden had placed letter OF
withdrawal in the hands Of his friends, and
TINT it would be read to the New York dele
cation tonight. Friends Of Tilden here
say with equal positiyeness, and on closer
authority, that he has done nothing Of the
kind, and thatif a letter is being shown it is
either trick to draw away and deceive
Tilden's supporters or non-committal letter
calculated to draw out the senti-
ments of delegates not already
sounded. The whole Maine delegation
visited the old man at Gramercy Park last
Wednesday night, and went West satisfied.
Whatever the sti!l~hunt game may be, it is
certain that Tilden will only withdraw when
he is beaten out Of the field. His friends
here have no doubt that he will control the
Convention by DECIDED majority, SO that, if
he doesn't get the nomination himself, he
CAN DICTATE IT.
SO far rs Kelly is concerned, it is reported
that if Tilden Is nominated Kelly will resign
the Controllership and go to Europe for a
year or SO. That would leave the way free
for united support of Tilden, who would
probably reward Kelly with foreign mis-
sion OF some other honorable place. -

BILE source that Mr.. Ttlden's friends count on

The German language has sometimes
great power In the land, and is of great i'm
portance to those who speak it in gaining an
object This fact received an illustration
during the proceedings Of the late Demo-
cratic State Convention held in the State of
Indiana 4 Clerk of the Supreme Courthad
to be nominated. The present incumbent OF
the Office, Mr.. Gabriel Schmuck, was candi-
date for reelection. Several candidates con-
tested his denomination, and he came near
being defeated, when his nomination was &C.
cured in All ingenious manner, which the In
dianapolls De1tto|ler Telegraph narrates as
follows:
The nomination Of Mr. schmuck Was nro.
cured by a happy thought OF the German dele
gate from st. Joseph, who cast the vote for bis
county. Speeches and remarks were prohibited.

speech that the German citizens Of Inftiana
would bo through the defeat Of schmuck With
out representation upon tho State Ticket In the
face Of the fact that Schmuck hnd proved him

Duty Before Pleasure.

EUREKA, June "a, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL:-The evening paper
gives Hancock an opening kick into the
political arena by asserting that he is an
excellent General and one of the members
of the commission that hung Mrs. Surratt.
As we'll condemn a Sheriff for executing a
penalty OF death upon a condemned GRIM
inal as charge him with such a crime. But
the question suggests itself, who ordered
the execution? Lay it to Andy johnson,
gentlemen, your Republican President at
the time, and who, one evening in Novem-
Der, 1873, at Washington, remarked that
he would some day have something to say
about the hanging of Mrs. Surratt; and
were it not for his ill-timed death he could
unfold a tale which would exonerate the
man whom the evening paper seeks to viii
lily. Hancock acted in an official capacity,
at the instance and command of Republic
cans, against the strong protestations Of
Democrats throughout the country, and
the death Of that woman is properly laid
at the door Of such men as the evening pa
per represents. n

Mining Items.

There are about thirty tons of h~igh-grade
ore at the Bald Eagle mine, which will be
sent to the Eureka Con. furnaces in q few
days for treatment.
Connection has been made in the Dead
Broke between the upper and lower tun-
nels, and a body of high grade ore has
been exposed in the lowest workings which
assays well up In the hundreds.
Hensley & Stuart are still following the
breast of ore which was struck in the Hawk
eve several weeks ago, and have now about
40 tons of good ore on the dump.
The recent developments in the Banner
are improving, and bid fair to lead to a
large body of good ore.
Frank Wallace has leased the 300 level
of the Connolly mine, and is taking out a
large quantity of fiux, which is being
shipped to the Richmond reduction works.
Mike Lyons shipped 41,415 pounds OF
ore to the Eureka Consolidated from the
Dugout mine, which Melted him yesterday,
after paying all expenses, $s,271.7O. This
is the first shipment out OF 30 tons which
has been taken out by three men during
the past four weeks.

The Sentenced Ones safely Landed.

Sheriff Kyle returned last evening from
a trip to Carson with the last batch Of
prisoners sentenced at this term of court.
He landed them where they belong, and
where they will linger for the time desig-
mated by Judge Rives. Matt says that while
on the way down he observed some ''funny
business" being carried on by johnson,
and upon investigating he found that he
had become possessed of a little three
cornered file, and had barely touched up q
crevice in his irons. johnson was relieved,
and despite his threats was put where he
belongs. He has been troublesome all
winter, manufacturing keys, etc., but Ash
ley's eye was too sharp for his tricks.

SALAREED.


for Wages.
On and after January LIST, 1881, Eureka
county officers will pass, under the State
law Of 1879, to a new method of compen.
sation for their official duties. The Sher-
if will receive $1,000 per annum. and is
allowed one Under-Sheriff at the rate Of
5000 per MONTH: County Clerk, SO, 900;
Treasurer, 50, 400; District Attorney, S2,-
400; Recorder and Auditor. So, 900; Asses
sor, $4,000; Superintendent Of Public
Schools, 5000; Commissioners, each, 5000;
Justice of the Peace, SO, 600; and the Con-
stable, SO, 200. There is no stipulation as
to who is to furnish the Justice his blanks,
etc., and there are other little points in the
new law that will need explanation ere the
new law goes into practical effect. The
County Commissioners have rather got the
upper hand according to this arrangement,
for only as they see fit can deputies be ap-
pointed. The deputies car only get 81 per
day, and for copying and such work, but
10 cents folio Is allowed. The first of the
year always was a good time to resolve on
economy.
