WILL SHARON WITHDRAW.

The suit brought against William Sharon
by the widow of the late William Ralston II
which the adherents of Sharon
will find hard to explain in the Senatorial
campaign The complaint which covers 265
pages, charges Sharon with some most outra
peous pieces Of rascality. If 1.-THE OF the
allegations against him are true, he stands
before the world in light which the poorest
workman in Nevada would be loathe to be
seen in for all Of Sharon's gold. He is dis
tinctly charged with robbing dead friends
estate and defrauding widow of her dues by
tricky misrepresentation and faislhca'
ton of accounts. The gist of the COM
plant is printed in the telegraphlc col.
umn and taken from an account published
in the San Fanrisco B,sAeten. 1t shows
that Sharon is a cunning fraud and in all re-
spects ineligible to any position of trust. Hi
betrayalef Ralston's confidence after Ralston
bones were moldsring in Lsne Mountain, ant
his treatment of the dead mans wife and chill
dren is a page of history almost unparalleled
It is possible that Sharon may have anothe
side to the story and it is unfair to condemn
man of crimes 80 base until he has bee
fairly heard. 1t new remains for him to e.
plain in the courts the charges against him
and if he fails there is nothing left for him

While it dees not suit everybody-no ticket

made a careful survey of the field and selected
man. both for their strength and capacity. In
this ticket are also the elements OF harmony

ANEcDerE OF OFrENBAcH.- curious
stories are related of the late composer Offen-
bach. When he last visited New York, M.
Grau provided for him an orchestra OF one
hundred and ten of the best performers IN
the city at Gimore's Garden. Before enter
ing the garden Ofenbach was informed incl
dentally that the musicians Of New York
were all members of powerful organization,
which allowed none but its members to lead.
Upon assuming the baton he gave the signal
to proceed with the orchestra, when after
few bars had been played, to the astonish-
ment of the vast audience he commanded the
musicians to cease playing. upon which ne ad-
dressed them in terms of teproach for their
dereliction to the rules of their body in allow
ing him to lead when he was not member OF
the organization, and refused to proceed un-
less they admitted him to membership on the
,pot: mutual honor that was immediately
informally conferred, whom he resumed the
baton amidst the plaudits of the audience and
6nishsd the opera.

The Battle of Kings Mountain.
New York Herald.l
Our affairs to the southwark look
blue, wrote a member Of the board
of war in June, 1850. to General Gates,
lately commissioned by congress to
command the shattered patriot forces
in the Carolinas. Indeed, they were
destined to look bluer still, for the
crushing defeat of Gates by CORVALLIS
at Camden would have killed the spirit
Of resistance in any other people. Out
Of the gloom Of those days, however,
rises the inspiriting story of the battle
Of Kings Mountain, when the hardy
settlers Of the Carolinas descendants
of Scottish and Irish emigrants-ath-
cred from their homes in the wilder
ness and flung themselv in hot haste
upon the British soldiers and loyalists
under Ferguson, himself Scot, and
killed or captured his eutire command
Of eleven hundred men Worthy
comilitants of Marion and his men,
these Carolinians stormed the height
from which Ferguson had said that
mot even God Almighty" could drive
him. If he had been impious he was
brave, and he fell where he fought.
No wonder that Hamilton, in the
name of Washington, was able to
write to Rochambeau when the news
reached the American commander:
The affairs of the enemy at the south
seem at present to decline" And so
they continued. The treason of Ar
mold at West Point had been frustrat-
ed, and the execution of Andre had
taken place but few days before the
battle of Kings Mountain. 1t was
but year and twelve days ahead of
the surrender of CORVALLIS at York
town.
The celebration of this Carolina
victory "a hundred years after It's
occurrence-has engaged for some
time past the attention of the states of
North and South Carolina. The ar
rangement of the exercises, descrip
ten of the monument to be unveiled
with spirited sketch Of the action it
commentaries, are presented in de-
tails elsewhere. An event like this
should be to large for measuring
with the politics of to-day; but sur, ~
it is permissible to point to these de
scendents of the warriors of the revo.
luton joining hands to honor the vic
tors in battle fought in the cause Of
the entire country, as a rebuke to those
who can only see sectionalism in the
struggle Of parties for supremacy.

TOO MUCH PREvIOUSNESS.
How Criminal was Caught with

Some additional points in that LITTLE
furniture stealing affair of yesterday

very unusual case in some respects
The furniture was stolen at 10 O'Clock

WE are constantly reminded by
Judge Wright's organs that Andrew
johnson made a race once as an indie.
pendent candidate for congress- and
received only iortty thousand vote.
in the state johnson ran a strictly
personal race aud had personal
party. He did not make the race upon
any particular idea or issue that di-
vided or occupied the attention Of the
democratic party in the state. TIE
old Confederate soldiers voted solidly
1or General Cheatbam, not one
a hundred voted for johnson
Yet the great commoner picked VI
10000 votes aud was alterward elected
to the United States senate. So to
follow up the history Of this illustra-
ton, it does not appear that boiling al
ways kills. johnson had no cause fol
his race, except that he thought he
was stonger than the party and was
ambitious, Private Wilson represent;
an idea, and that is the right:
and the sovereignty of the people.
Any other citizen of good standing,
able to make fair statement on the
stump of the issues involved, would
run as well. The masses are not SO
much supporting Mr.. Wilson per
soaally-although his character is
irrepruachable-as the central idea Of
submission TO the popular will which
he advocates with so much earnest
ness and ability. andy johnson S

Labor on the Levees.

There is a lively demand for labor

willing to work need now be idle. A

600 men, wages offered being 81 rer
day and three nips Of grog, or l3 to

men are needed at the Cammack levee,
in lssaquena county, Miss, and 200 at
the Choctaw bend levee. There are
over 200, 900 yards Of work to be done
On the latter, the contractor being
Captain George Arnold, Of this city,
who was awarded the job at the recent
meeting Of the leyee commissioners of
Bolivar, Washington and Issuquena
counties, held at GreeHYille. At the
same meeting Q contract for 50,O0O
cubic yards of work, to be done near
Leota, Miss, in the lower end Of
Washington county, and l40 miles
above Vicksburg, was awarded to Mr..
y. P. Biegans. The Australia
landing aud Wade levees, near tie
head of Lake Bolivar, are not to bs
contracted for this season, owing to
the shortness of the cotton crop. The
fund to pay for this work is raised by
a special tax en- cotton grown in the
,hree counties named, and the Gem
missiouers are in the habit of paying
as they go. The prospective amount
would not justify further extension
of leyee contracts this fall. Captain
Arnold will prosecute his part of the
proposed work with vigor, as soon as
he can collect hands enough to set
the ball in motion.

The fatal accident at st. Paul to a
Mrs. s. S. Harris, who claimed to be
the authoress Of Rulege and
other novels. recalls the propensity of
many men and women throughout
civilization to transparently absurd
literary pretentiou The name of the
western woman who. until recently,
had resided at Hudson, Wis, seems to
have been Harris--it may have been
S. S. Harris-but she appears to have
been unrelated, and, indeed, unknown
TO Mrs Sidney s., or Marion Cole,
harris, the real writer Of the story
named. She had the reputation OF
being eccentric, and one of her eccen
tricities gas, plainly. to lay claim to
writing books which other persons had
written. She was thought by many
to be on the border of insanity,
although her foolish literary assump-
tions would not, Of necessity, show
her to be of uusound mind. Literary
pretentions would seem to be a form
of monomania to which many people

they are such, are common in every
country and 10 every city. Only now
and then do they gain any not0riety-
as when the work claimed has
a wide reputation, aud its

cradle town has It's literary and jour.
nalistic humbugs, fellows who will de-
clare that they had written any article
happened to be anonymous, Published
in magazine. or any editorial letter,
criticism or communication printed in
newspaper. Their falsehood is soon
detected. But they do not know or
care if it is, since itseryes their pur.
pose for the time, and they can tell a
fresh falsehood to take the place Of
the old one Whenever a poem, or
