SHARON ON THE CoMSTOGK..

William Sharon, Nevada's Senator
from California, is on the Comstock.
His visit to Nevada at the present time
is supposed 10 be for the purpose of
glancing oveE the political field, and in,
terviewing his friends on the Senatorial
question. Though he has not publicly
announced himself as a candidate for re-
election, il is understood that he is. in
the field for the place. 1t is probable
that IN consequence of vague suspic-
ion, which even the Endorsement of his
Senatorial career-by the Austin Conven-
tion cannot remove from his mind, that
the people of Nevada do not recognize
the necessity of re-electing a nan-resi,
dent of the State to represent them in
the Senate, that he may, not be publicly
known in the canvass as candidate.
This, his friends could attribute to his
excessive. modesty when exacting secret
pledges from legislative candidates to
support him, in return for coin in
hnences to secure their election 1t is
asserted that nearly all the hoid-over
Senators are pledged to support him,
and it is. expected that Pow2ing of
Washoe, and Kaiser of Churchill, who
are not, as we'll as fractions. members
who may be elected in November, can
be managed by the caucus, which, OF
course, will be controlled as Mr.. Tritle
expressed it, "By coin or unworthy
promises"
Two years ago the Republican Con-
vention of this county adopted resolu-
ton demanding the resignation of Mr..
Sharon, yet if reports are true, a,Sena-
tor elected on that platform is under
obligations to vote for Mr.. Sharon, in
the event of his being Candidate 70,
reelection. This rumor may be Unjust
to the hold-over Senator from this
county, Mr.. Thompson. If so, our col.
umns are at his service to contradict it.

his way to the gallows he was perfectly

prayers, imploring and extending for

English solicitors practieing Before
the Borough Court of Derby must now
wear wigs and gowns. The matter had
been seriously discussed by the nagis-
trates, who decided that the dignity of
the Court required the wearing of'robes
and wigs and, as the Lord Chancellor
has approved the resolution of the mag
istrates, the solicitors have received in
stractions accordingly.

One Of the reasoss assigned for the
overwhelming Democratic majority in
the State of Alabama is, the general
belief among the calored voters that
General Hancock was Instrumental in
hanging Mrs Suratt, whom they. think
was one of the assassins Of President
Lincoln. The Republican papers pro-
mulgated the assertion as q facs, and
the colored citizens, who revere the
name of Lincoln, are enthusiastic for
Hancock on that account.

THE. HANCOCK ROOM,

Tho Hancock boom has been started
IN Texas. A majority of the delegates
to the Democratic State Convention
have been. elected. and General Win
field Scott Hancock, of Pennsylvania,
Is decidedly the favorite. Hancock is
Major General in the, regular Army,
and Commander of the Atlantic Military
Division. He served in the war for the
Union, and is said to be the favorite
candidate for President in nearly all. il
not all, the Southern States, as well as
In Pennsylvania. If Grant is the Chi
cago nominee. all who are opposed to
the third term could consistently sup.
port Hancock, as his record as a Union
soldier is second to none. As he is a
ca politician-7the chances
are against his nomination, though the
Democratic party could not make a
much better selection.

sHERMAs.s. NINceMPOOr BUREAE.

There is political, club in. Washing
ton, city known as ''Shernsan's MIN
compoop Bureau" The members meet
frequently. and have employed a re-
porter to prepare articles for publica-
ton in the newspapers that are friendly
to Sherman. One of these articles, Just
published, says the best men in the Rs
publican ranks in New Orleans are for
Sherman, and the followers Of Grant in
that city are hungry political wolves
and hoodlums. The article. states that
Pinckback, who was recently in, Wash
ton begging the. appointment Of Naval
Officer at New Orleans, and who went
away with curses and threats ia, his
mouth, is established in fine quarters,
with lots of clerks andsplenty of money,

calculated 10, attract all the scum of
that section to Grant, and, is doing all
in his power TO cast odium. on. the Sher-
man movement; notwithstanding. all
which, the Nincompoops express conf
dence in the ability of Sherman
friends to secure the Louisiana. delega.
ton for their favorite.
Articles ofthat character are not cal
culated to make the Grant men look
with much favor on Sherman, as second
choice, nor to strengthen the Sherman
boom to any great, extent throughout
the country. as they convey the i'm
preston, that the party is not as pure
IN New Orleans as some, of the papers
represent it.

the MACmISE IN KANSAS.

The Kansas Republican State Con-
vention, called to elect delegates to the
Chicago Convention, was controlled by
the Blaine men. The action Of the
majority was as arbitrary and overbear-
ing as that Of the Grant men in the
Pennsylvania and New York Conyen-
tions The New York Evening Mail, a
Republican journal which is uncompro-
missing in it's opposition to third term,
yet opposed TO machine chicanery in
the interest of any candidate, de-
nounces the action of the Blaine men
in Kansas in unmeasured terms. The
majority deprived the several districts
OF their rightful power to select their
own delegates to Chicago, and instruct
ed all the delegates to Chicago to vote
for Blaine. The districts thus disfran-
chised have determined to send Grant
delegates to Chicago, who will insist
upon having a voice III the National
Convention and voting for their favor
lite. The Mail says Kansas will be
called in the National Convention be-
fore New York and Pennsylvania, and
the fight for district representation will
be made on strong case.
The action of the Kansas Convention
shows that the Blaine men did not hest
tate to do the very thing which. they
condemned Cameron and Conkling for
doing in Pennsylvania and New York.
Power is dangerous thing, and many
who condemn the use made Of it by
those intrusted with it, would make no
better use of it themselves. Even
members of County Central Commit
tees, clothed with limited authority for
brief period, sometimes imagine-as
was the case here few evenings ago
that their, viii should be the law of the
party, aud that they, and not. the peo-
pie, should determine who should rep
resent them in "a State Convention.
where Congressman, Judge of the SUI
Preme Court and three Presidential
Electors. as we'll as delegates to Ma
tional Convention, are to be nominated.

CouSclL BLUFFS, June 11.-Spe-
cial dispatches to the MonpaqR give
particulars Of a terrible tornado
that swept through tho southeast
Orn part Of pottowattomie county
Wednesday evening. The cyclone
or tornado is described by cyc-wit-
ncsses rs something terrible.
Storm Of wind clonds were first
observed forming both east and
and west of Wheolors grove, tho
point where the most destruction
occurred, and in 4 short time camo
together. The cloud, which was
conical in shape, came to the
ground near the grove, travelling
eastward. The track of the storm
was about halfa mile in width.
The storm swept everything before
it, dcmoishing farmR, houses,
barns and other out buildings, ear
rying some OF them hundreds of
feet, thea dasling them to the
ground III pieces. At one place q
farmers house. surrounded by
lrail fence was picked up and then
dashed TO pieces in the yard, lcav-
ing every board OF the fence re-
main in its place.
There We're from Is 10 20 persons
killed outright and many were in
jurcd, while Others cannot be
found. Those known to have been
killed were Jesse Osler, wife and
two children; Vim. Page, wife
and his two children killed and an
other child fatally injured; Alex
Oslcr, wife and child carried in tie
air almost 100 feet and seriously
injured, child fatally; Il man cn-
ployed by tho latter, name un-
known. was killed. Other persons,
six or eight in number, were car.
ric,, away and have not yet been
touud.
Aflcr the storm had spent its
fury, parents were locking for their
children, husbands for their wives,
and wives for thuir husbands.
Not Il house in the track Of the
tornado was left standing, and
there could not be found pieces
enough of some to start 4 fire with,
The unparalleled storm did not
last fifteen minutes, and was not
accompanied by rain. Doctors
from This city, Red Oak and other
points have gone TO the scene of
the disaster, Many citizens from
Red Oak, ten miles distant, have
gone to assist in taking care of tho
injured and to bury the dead.
There are no railway or telegraph
facilities to the scene of the dis
astor, and results are rather mea.
gre rs yet. 1t is thought tho
storm struck other points, but not
with so great 4 farce us at Wheel
