Father MaIoney on the O'Neil MUIR
der.
MINERAL HILL. Eureka Co.. New.

MINERAL HILL. Eureka Co.. New
June %, 1883.
EDITOR SENTINEL: | have read with
pain in your columns the dasiardly
and cowardly murder of Il. c. OiNeil.
| have known II. c. O'Neil and fami-
ly for the past IL years. Eleven years
ago | slept at his place in Spring Val
ley, and on several occasions since,
whenever duty called me in that di-
rection. / have known him favora-
bly, aud well, and ought TO be heard in
this matter. | conseientiously say
that O'Neil was a good man, and was
the victim OF a cowardly clique in
Spring Valley, who could not compete
with him either intellectually, phys
ically or morally. Ifnot superior, he
was certainly equal to bis neiehbors
in every respect. But the dastardly,
cowardly rufians who shot him down
should be pursued even To death by
every honest aud law-abiding citizen
OF Nevada.
The Father uses strong language
against the people of Spring Valley,
and with all due respect for his rev-
erence, we can hardly believe he is
so ignorant of the Spring Valley trou-
bles a To write in the style he does.
Nor can he be unaware of the long
train of grievances that led to the late
murder. The reverend Father seems
to lose sight of the fact that as good
men as eve lived anywhere--the
Doutre Brothers-were forced out of
the valley, after ~protracted law suits,
by the annoyances of the O'Neils;
and, that the man who took their
placer. l.. Bassett-was waylaid
aud shot down in broad daylight, as he
(Bassett) says by the O'Neils. There
must be something radically wrong
when an entire community is at IA
with a single neighbor, and resort 10
the mean they have. Father, the
fair fame of the living should not
traduced to convert it into a mantle
of charity to W. the dead. "Let
justice be done though the heavens
fall" to the living as well as the dead,
Is our motto.

This is the best evidence of the gold

CAUTION.
Let no one rush off wildly, or with
out due preparation. If as extensive
and rich as reported, there will be
enough forall. November or Decem-
Der will be a much better time to go
there than at present in the heated
season. All the work must he done
with dry washers or by tanning out
the ground and dirt and leaving the
gold. If as reported, the gold fields
cannot be worked IN six months or
in five years, and the working of
these placers will develop the vast
copper, silver and gold mines near
by, the great deposits of nitrate of
potash and soda, alum, sulphur and
borax, the veins of mica, manganese.
spiegel and iron. Let every one wait
until the facts are known by those
who are already in the mines or on
their way there. At least let every
one think twice before they start off
into such a wild and barren country.

Fernando, a distance of 403 miles over

ArRoPos Of the forthcoming publication o
the Duke Of Saxe-Coburg's private memoirs,
the St. James Gazette relates story which
has been current in court circles. A younger
son Of the Duke Of Argyll, so ran the legend,
who wished to marry a certain lady, not un-
naturally asked his fathers consen, to that
step. The Duke replied that personally he
had no objection to the match; but in view Of
the fact that his eldest son had espoused a
daughter Of the Queen, he thought it right to
take her Majesty's pleasure on the subject be-
fore expressing his formal approval. Her
Majesty, thus appealed to, observed that since
the death of the Prince Censor, she had been
in the habit of consulting the Duke Of Sake
Coburg on all family affairs. The matter
was therefore returned TO Duke Ernest, who
replied that since the unhcation of Germany
he had made it a rule to ask for the Emper-
or's opinion on all important questions. The
case now came before the Kaiser, who de-
cided that, as a constitutional sovereign, he
was bound to ascertain the views OF his Prime
Minister. Happily for the new anxious pair
Of lovers, the Iron Chancellor he'd no wish to
consult anybody, and decided that the mar
riage might take place.

wrapgle over. We have had the public

The success of the university, so far as poll
tics is concerned, rests alone with the Demo-
crazy, as that party controls all Of the State in
stitutions and State politics. But 1t is safe to
say SO long as there are Offices ofhonor or

dozen Democrats who might fifty be chosen to
the Senate from Ohio. Democrats outside OF
Ohio don't care copper which is chosen, but

Ohio shall not be sold out, and shall not cut
its own throat. The loss Of Ohio is Of little

State will cripple itself for years il it lets per-
sonal hatreds, ambitions, jealousies, eat out
its patriotism and strength. Defeat is moth

Ohio Democrats still have time to retrieve

themselves and see what they can do"

THE Dallas Estray Record thinks the long
horns must go, and says "Here in Texas
the advance Of the pillow will not affect the
cattle interests Of the State nor the meat sup
ply il the stockraisers will give up the long

time for the herds, large and numerous as they
are on our pasture lands, to be graded up and
to be replaced with the heavy thoroughbreds
before the demands Of agriculture will have in
vaded the present domains Of the COW and the
sheep. But every day, almost, makes more
clear and certain the fact that the longhorn
must make room for the shorthorn, just as the
buffalo did for the long horn and the Indian
for the cowboy. This is truth, and wisdom
will dictate to our stockmen to prepare for
the inevitable"
