DISPATCHES OF LAST NIGHT
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-02-17
RIILs NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
AN INTERESTING CASE.

In the Superior Court case is being tried
which is interesting by reason of an unusual
issue involved. The title of the case is Mary
Z. Harregan vs.. George Mckee, L. L. Bill
lings, Odd Fellows Savings and Commercial
Bank, and H. G. Smith, Trustee, The
plaintiff is represented by I. J. Clunie and
n. Greene Curtis, and the defense by J. w.
Armstrong and John T. Carey. The plain
tiff asserts that on May 20, 1878, she was the
owner of an undivided one-half interest in 160
acres of land, in section II, township north,
range 5 east, Sacramento county, inherited
from her father, Thomas Harregan, though
the patent to the land did not acquire until
after his death. She further alleges, that on
said Nav Goth she was elected from the
premises without being made party to the
suit of ejectment; that the defendants have
since held possession, thereby depriving her
of her rentals, amounting in value to S525,
and thereby damaging her at the rate
of 500 per month for each month, by
reason of being deprived of the property.
She prays for an order for the delivery
of possession of the property, and
judgment for the above amount. The prop
erty involved is valuable, and said to be
worth about SIG, 900. The defendants, in
their complaint, deny that plaintiff had any
right to the property. 1t is understood that
they will attempt to prove that in the year
1855 Margaret Harregan, the mother of the
plaintiff, was divorced from her husband,
Samuel Sande,son that in the proceedings
of the case reference was made to daughter,
Mary Eva; that the divorce was granted
May 5, 1855, and on the next day she was
again married to Thomas Harregan. They
also claim that in the viii of Thomas Hare
gan, who died several years afterward, refer
ence was made to his step daughter, Mary
Eva; that Margaret Harregan never had
but one child of that name, and she was
born two years prior to the suit
for divorce, and not on May 18th,
one year after the second marriage, as is
claimed by the plaintiff that the patent for
the land was issued to ''the heirs of Thomas
Harregan," and not to his step-daughter. 1t
is also understood that they will prove the
history of the case by showing that few
years ago Mary Harregan gave them mort
gage on the property, and that the mortgage
becoming due a suit was begun, and an order
of ejectment granted against the defendants,
and that the mortgsgor, failing to keep pos
session, began the present action in the name
of her daughter, Mary Eva. in order to gain

The Shinsle sprini shooting Affair
Arrest of EIwOOd.

SINGLE SrR1NGs, February 16th.-Wm
Elwood, who shot w. c. Penter yesterday,
did not leave the county, as was anticipated,
but went to his home near GAINESVILLE and
went to bed, where he was arrested by Con-
stable Bailey, of Placerville, who had been
notified of the case. Bailey took Elwood to
Placerville for safe keeping. The particulars
Of the shooting are as follows Ill feeling has
existed between them for some time. Yester-
day Elwood had been drinking, and stepped
up to Penter and pulled the latter's hat down
over his eyes. Penter told him to let him
alone. Angry words passed between them.
At this time neither party was armed. As
Elwood had several friends with him, Penter,
to have an equal show, picked up an iron
shovel to defend himself with. 1t is said that
Penter struck Elwood on the wrist with the
shovel, when Elwood reached to the hip
pocket of one of his friends and drew re-
volyer and commenced to fire. Two shots
were fred, as described in the dispatch of
yesterday. Penter is in a very precarious
situation, with possibly one chance in ten of

~
The Chicago nominations receive the
usual compliment of stereotyped praise
from party Organs generally, but in very
MANY instances the gush eyinees a some
what forced and reluctant acquiescence
in the final conclusions of the conycn-
ton. While very many Republicans
enthuse over Garfield because it is Gar
field, there is evidently large proper
ton OF the party who accept him, simply
because it is the proper thing to do
Reconciliation candidates don't seem tc
possess that grip upon their party which
is absolutely necessary to insure lively
canvass in close contest, and that tht
coming contest will be close one, is al
ready conceded by the most astute pol
ititions.
The Republicans will perhaps realiz
before Autumn that this campaign can
not be successfully conducted on oil
and threadbare issues, but must develop
something more solid in the way of cleo
pioneering devices. The Democrats,upol
the other hand, cannot afford to repea
the blunders of former opportunities
but will be compelled to put forwarc
their best and strongest candidate.
The two parties are seemingly 81
evenly balanced that blunder upoi
the part of either must necessarily in
volve defeat, and it remains to be seen
whether or not the Republicans have
already taken the first step in that direc
ton.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

[ From Ou' Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., June u, $780,
The true inwardness of the Ferry
scandal doth not yet appear, for the hon
orable Senator from Michigan opens not
his mouth, neither does his facile pen
deign to reply to communication from
Col. Sidney Cooper, in Milwaukee
paper. 1t appears from the statement
of the affair over Col. Coopers name that
it was he and not his daughter that in
fIcted the optic descoloration referred
to in our last weeks letter. Tt seems
that Miss Cooper endeavored to infict
some punishment for something or other
which as yet has not been made evident,
but failing, the Colonel himself, who by
way is much smaller man than Senator
Ferry, took the matter into his own
hands and finished the business.
To say that the nomination of Gen.
Garfield by the Chicago Convention was
a surprise to the Washington world is to
convey but faint impression Of the sem
timent which pervaded the minds of the
people upon receiving the news. So far,
however, as we have heard any express
sion of sentiment on the subject, it ap-
Je n. lie of the Res
publican politicians to stand by the
nomination through thick and thin, and
make a strong fight for it.
The sentiment which animates the
Democratic heart of the District of Col~
umbia is in favor of nominating Seymour
at the Cincinnati Convention. Some
seem to feel that Morrison is the coming
man who will carry the Democratic bans
ners to glorious victory, but opinions are
so undecided on that subject that they
can hardly be quoted.
The Ute question has been settled by
the passage of bill which has for its
principal feature tile giving to each mem
Der of the tribe a patch of ground which
he can call his own and on which he
could earn livelihood for his family.
The question now is where is the land
to be located
Brig. Gen. Benjamin Atwood, Paymas>
ter.General of the Army, who has been
in the service over 46 consecutive years
as commissioned officer, has been res
tired at his own request by the President.
It has finally been decided by Congress
to adjourn upon the 10Th of June, so
that ere another week has passed the
deserted halls of the Capitol will present
a mourful aspect, and undoubtedly there
will be good many mournful glances
cast at the familiar seats by many who
will know them no more. For the first
time in many years an entirely new
House Of Representatives will be elected
and there will be many new faces to be
seen in Washington upon the converting
of the 47th Congress. Many of the mem.
bers Of the present Congress have already
been nominated by their constituents
for reelection. AUGUST.

Terrible Steamboat collision.


The steamer Narfagansett, which lett
New York Friday evening for stonington,
Conn. and her companion, the stoning,1
ton, which left the latter place for New
York, collided off the Connecticut river
about 1l:l5 o'clock. The former took
FIRE and sunk in four fathoms of water.
The night was dark and heavy fog pre-,
vailed.
of the four hundred passengers on
board the Narragansett, all were saved
except about fifty, who we're either car
ried down with the doomed craft, or
were drowned before beng picked up.
Three men are reported as having shot
themselves in preference to being
drowned. The steamer City of New
York was fortunately near by at the
time of the collision and rendered imme~
date assistance by sending out boats
and RATS to pick up the terrified passen-
gers. Boats from the Stonington also as
sisted in the work of saving life, and the
remarkable feature is that, under all the
circumstances, so few lives were lost.
There were many thrilling scenes wit
messed in that midnight hour as the
light from the burning vessel penetrated
the dense fog and threw Pickering and
gastly shadows over the scene.
The rescued passengers were taken to
Stonington, where they were provided
with clothing and forwarded to their DIES
tination. Among those who died subses
quent to the disaster was Rev. E. B.
Lockwood, of New York, who died from
exhaustion before the boat reached Ston>
ington. Upon his person was found a
copy of Tom. Paine's Gage of Reason =
which the clergyman had been reading
that evening on the boat, and had written
upon the fysleaf, ''If l should go down
with this boat to>night, I would be
ashamed to have this book found upon
me, were it not that | read it to refute
its arguments
The cause of the accident seems to
have resulted from gross carelessness
upon the part of somebody, but-as
usual-who that somebody is has not yet
been determined,

been attacked by the army worm, and

Col. Mcclure. of the Philadelphia Times,
says: General Grant quietly stepped
into the Palmer House this morning,
and l never saw him more gentle or com
posed. He came unheralded. at least to
the multitude and witnesses with compla
cency the profuse floral and bunting
decorations of The PALMER House ro>
tunda and lobbies which were intended
to celebrate his nomination. He chat
ted pleasantly in passing his acquaintan-
ces. walked leisurely to the ladies parlor.
and the outer door were closed to all
when he entered. In half an hour he
stepped out in the same unostentatious
manner, and the faces of Cameron, Lo
gan and Storrs were visible as the lieu@
tenants with whom he had been in con-
ference. What transpired in that briei
council of war will probably never be
known to the public. but after Grant had
hurried off to the Milwaukee train, both
Cameron and Logan said publicly that
Grant would be nominated without oppo
sltion in 1884 The confident expecta-
ton of General Grant and his leaders is
that Garfield will be beaten in 1880, and
that one term of Democratic rule under
inspiration of the Confederate brigadiers
will make the Republican party shout a
spontaneous call for the return of its old
commander. and that this country will
kct him by the largest popular major
ever given to any President since
zoe. General Grant is repulsed, moi
led, and he no more doubts his
"a to the sresidency if he lives
