The Insane Convict.
extra.

A State officer who casually viste i
the State Prison on Sunday last was
shown John J. Combs, the alleged in
sane convict. That gentleman stated
to the APPEAL reporter that it was his
impression that Combs is as crazy as 4
man can get. He is very violent and
makes frantic attacks upon anyone
coming within reach. 1t IS said he has
not tasted bit of food in eleven days.
When food Is handed him he filings
it at the person waiting on him. He
does not speak, but appears to be in a
semi-stupor all the time. If Combs is
not insane he certainly p ssesses the
strongest will-pewer ever heard Of. He
is still chained to the wall Of the tailor
shop. and PAGES up and down the length
Of his chain for hours at a time.

Shtneae lottery g~3ndLe.

-
\ few days since Chinanan who
mad formerly been ca plOyed il several
houses here as 2 domestic, called on one
Of his Old miStrcsses in the capacity OF
lottery ticket Vcndcr. He enlarged
upon the honest manner in which the
Chinese lottery in this city is conducted,
until the lady invested four bits in the
scheme. The lottery appears to be
drawn daily, for upon the evening of
that day he returned to the lady'8 resi-
dence and handed her 50 as the pro-
ceeds Of four-bit investment. The
APPEALS impression is that this is
merely shrewd advertising dodge on
the part of the Chinaman, who wishes
10 pcpularze his lottery scheme among
the white eople of Carson. The infer
eEce is, and it is a natural one too, that
ne believes that the lady who won nine
dollars on half dollar ticket will tell
all of her friends about ii, bringing
about a mania for the purchase Of Chi
nesc lottery tickets. Our advice IS,
Don't get caught by the barbara swim
die. The Chinese are too smart and
avaricious to give their good gold to
the detested American.

GRAFTON, September 3.-Thc meeting O
the bosses" here tomorrow IL the pre-
vailing talk In our midst. Their mission /.
to patch up MI adjustment OF the Congres
sional Gasco at keyser, not IN the Interest
Of either lIoge or Lucas, but rather in the
interest OF Henry G. Davis, whose cunccs
Tor reelection 10 the United States Senate
are believed by him to be seriously in,per.
i!led by a split OF tho party in the various
counties OF this district. lie is afraid thal
the bad feeling in regard TO congressional
candidates will become contagious and
run into the local nominations, and tlius
divide tho Democracy into two factions
and in this way enable the Republicans
and Greenbackers to capture the I.egisla.
ture as far rs this district is concerned.
One Of the proposed plans OF adjust.
ment that havclraked outisto put Judge A,
+. llaynena on the track, and give lIese
his place on the bcncl, OF the Cour, Of Ap,
peals. The exact programme does not
seem 10 have been matured, but It looks
to flaymond's resignation at this time SC
that lloge's name can DO placed OIL the
State ticket, II that Is deemed the bette,
way, or else that Raymond shall be can.
didate for Congress and hold on to his seat
On the bench until alter election, and then
resign, leaving the Governor TO- appoint
lfoge for the vacancy until the next cleo
ton. By 1854 Hoge can tell whether he is
most available rs a candidate for Governor
or Congress. The bosses" are 10 back hin
according MS he may decide. 1, is suppos
ed that Lucas will be dead politically b}
1854.
There is one phase Of Lucas canvass be.
fore the keyser Convention that has neve,
been brought out. After the Taylor
County Convention it was discovered that
licge hada large majority OF the Taylor
delegates. This being the case, Lucas
lacked few votes Of enough to nominate
him. Then came the movement for Il
change. To this end certain parties were
commissioned to secure proxies from dele.
gates who either could not go or could be
prevailed on TO stay at home. This was
accomplished, by what means I will moi
attempt to particularize, and Lucas proxie:
were thus secured from county that had
virtually declared for Hoge. This piece Of
strategy goes good ways to take the edge
of Mr.. Lucas cutlery against "intimida.
ton, usurpation and fraud"
