Mr.. McCumough,s Letter

We received yesterday a communication
from Peter Mccullough, a miner residing
in Taylor District. 1t incloses q letter
addressed by Mr.. Mccullough to the ed
itor of the White Pine News, which Mr..
Davis declined to publish in his paper.
This letter Mr.. Mccullough now wishes to
have published in the SENTINEL. We,
also, must decline to publish il, for these
reasons Although we presume, from the
lone of Mr.. MoCullough's letter, and from
what we have heard Of him, that he is Q
candid, honest man. his statements are
not Of such . nature a. to warrant their
publication In . newspaper. They deal
very much in hearsay, aud are not only
extremely personal in reference 10 the ed
itor to whom the letter ia addressed, but
make direct charges againt Q well known
citizen OF White Pine county OF plotting
the death Of R. @. O'Neil; in fact, it charges
him with having decoyed an officer away
from the charge OF his prisoner, SO that
the lynchers might be aided In their
assassination. We would suggest 10 Mr..
Mccullough that the zeal he displays, o.
friend and vindicator Of the murdered man.
might be turned to more advantage by
making . legal complaint than by prefer
ring unsubstantiated charges In public
print. While the SENTINEL 10 disposed to
make every effort to see that jnstics 10
done in this matter, Il 10 unwilling to re-
produce more hearsay that would blast the
reputation OF . citizen and subject Il TO
heavy penalties for libel.

Am Interview with Father Pen
dergnst.
SAN FRANcIsoo, Aug. 13.-Under the
heading of ga Local Intrigue" the Chron-
icle this morning published an interview
with Father Pendergsst, Vicar General
representing Archbishop Alemany, in ref
erence to an Associated Press telegram
sent from this city. that the priests gen.
ally favored the appointment Of Father
Riordan Of Chicago Is Coadjutor to Arch
bishop Alemany, but hat two OF the Oldest
Bishops on the coast were opposed TO it.
Father Pendergsst says the dispatch hints
strongly that this papal appointee will be,
or has been, opposed by Archbishop
Alemany. OF course / annot say what
the Archbishop's course has been, but 1
imagine lie may have doubted whether his
success in q homogeneous diocese like that
of Chicago would necessarily insure sue
cess in such o heterogeneous polyglot and
peculiar diocese as this. The Vicar Gen.
eral then proceeds to say that the informa-
ton given and published is all the more
mischievous, because it contains q thread
OF truth. l acknowledge, he continues,
that there is . point here and there OF
dissatisfaction concerning the Archbish-
ops personal administration; but could
one expect anything else In . jurisdiction
that has extended over so many years? l
think, concluded Father Pendergast, l
could lay my finger on the dangerous
meddler who furnished the information
contained in the dispatch.
No Truth in the Statement.
