"A PRICKED BUBBLE.

Says the Sacramento Record I'm
ion: The Democratic press, nota-
bly, the San Francisco Examiner,
has been exceeding diligent in call
ing the attention Of naturalized cit
liens to the alleged fact that NJ r.
Blaine refused or neglected W hen
Secretary Of State to interfere in .he
case Of Nc Sweeney, who was i'm. |
prisoned in Ireland on politica
charges, he being an American it
izen. Even Carter Harrison, Derl-
ocratic nominee for Governor Of IL
linois, referred to the case in the
Democratic Convention, and asked,
Do you think that Irishman will
forget Nc Sweeney lying in a for
eign dungeon? Nc Sweeney, whose
wife sheds tears almost of blood be-
fore James G.. Blaine, and he
turned deaf ear to her implor-
ings?' This was pitiful plea, a
narrowing appeal, an unanswerab'e
questi on addressed to the sympa-
thies. Mrs. McSweeney's tears of
blood were very e'oquently worke d
into the forensic eb1llition of Mr..
Harrison, and ever since Demcc-at-
lie papers have been snivelling over

the "ossification," Of Blaine's heart
in the insolvency case, while the
Examiner has blubbered whenever
the McSweeny affair was whispered
/ Now the facts Of the case are that
McSweeny was a San Francisco
cattle dealer. He went to Ireland
on a visit. While there, on charges
of political agitation declared un-'
lawful. he was thrown into Jail,
where he remained thirteen months.
Judge Cooney, on the solicitation
of the Knights of St. Patrick of San
Francisco, drew up statement Of
McSweeney's case and forwarded it
to Senator Farley and Representa-
tive Rosecrans. They laid the pa
pers before the State Department,
and that Department at once for
warded instructions to Minister
Lowell to inquire and act in the
premises. According to Judge
Cooney, there the matter ended in
1882, after the assassination of
President Graield and after Mr..
Blaine had retired from the Cabi-
net. There is no testimony pre-
rented to show that Mr.. Blaine had
anything whatever to do with the
case.

Unless something is done to har
monize threatened difficulties there
will be trouble at the State Con
vention which will seriously ieop'
ardize the success of the State
Ticket. The present trouble is
over the Congressional and Supreme
Court nominations; the Supreme
Court cutting the prinei-
pie figure. There are two grievan.
ces urged AGAINST Judge Hawley
The people Of Storey county charge
that he went outside the law in
rendering decision in the County
Commissioners Rill, which turned
two elected Republicans out Of Office
and gave the administration of
county affairs to the Democrats.
The question was complicated
one and lawyers differ as to the in
terpretation Of the law. Belknap
concurred in Hawlevs views of the
case. It is now alleged that the
Renublicsns Of Storey will agree to
Hawlev's nomination by acclama-
ton and slaughter him at the polls.
IF the Storey. county Republicans
desire t. oppose Hawlev in the
Convention they have right to do
so. but the last proposition is SIM
DIV contemnt;ble and would be a
disgrace to Storey if carried out.
The Storey delegation are expected
to come down here prepared to
abide by the action. and none of
them are fit to hold seats in the
Convention if they propose to
adopt any other course. Another
charge against Hawley is that he
conspired to defeat Judge Beatty.
The APPEAL gave its views upon
the matter at the time. Relative
to the matter at present We will
state that Judge Beatty has heard
of the proposition on the part Of
His friends to retaliate upon Haw-
ley, and from a private letter to the
APPEAL editor we make some ex
tracts, which shows how he stands
upon the question. He says:
Il myself have long ceased to
care enough about the matter to
make any opposition to his election
on that account. I hope my friends
will not let any supposed grievance
of mine govern them in that re-
spect. My desire to see Nevada 60
Republican is a thousand times
stronger than any wish to get
even" with anybody, and would be
sorry to see the success of the
ticket ieopardized by Republican
opposition to any Of the Republi- |
can candidates and hope all of my |
friends will take the same view of |
the matter.
We have taken the liberty of !
publishing these extracts although !
they were not written for publica-
tion-that the friends of Judge
Beatty in Nevada may not deem it
upon themselves to op-
pose any man On the Republican
Ticket to keep party quarrels
which shonld have died with the
which engendered them.
Whatever may be the result Of the
present trouble we hope to see all
parties concerned do the fighipg
before the adjournment of the
Convention and go home prepared
to give hearty and conscientious
to the regular nominees.

Com, Peas and Beans.

To have no break in the succession of
vegetables is all important. Of sweet
corn we have found nothing genuinely
good earlier than Russel's Prolific. Fol
lowing this, and treading closely upon
it, is %sqnantum, a comparatively new
variety, After considerable discussion
upon the merits of corn by u party of
amateur gardeners who tried it, we
came to the conclusion that Squantum
was the best we had ever eaten, Stow
ellis Evergreen serves us we'll for a late
variety. We found last year that the
Blsck-eyed Marrowfat peas fitted in
ye,Ji nicely between the American Won
der and the Champion of England.
These three varieties, and the several
kinds of corn mentioned, furnish excel
lent food for a long period, the peas
lasting till the roasting ears come, and
the latter continuing for the rest of the
season. The much-landed wax beans,
of which there are many kinds, 1 al
ways leave for such as prefer them, con-
tinuing to raise the old horticultural or
Specified Cranberry as the richest and
the best.-J. e. j. Vernon, N. Y.

The Bosom Friends of Louis Ma
poleon.

Persigny and Walewski, with Gen.
Flenry, who was never a Minister, were
the Emperor's amis de caur; his purse
was open to them; their power was en-
orlnous and subject to no fluctuations,
and whatever indiscretions they COM
mitted these never led even to pass
ing estrangement between them and
their master, because the Emperor,
knowing them intimately and being
quite alive to thei, faults, was not afraid
to scold them. De Morny's influence
was of q different kind, and has been
generally misunderstood and xagger-
ated abroad. The Emperor disliked
this witty, polished. astute, and ambit-
ious statesman. 1t is no secret that De
Morny was connected very closely to
him by illegitimate blood relationship,
and in 1852 just after the coup d'etat,
the further Duke, who was then Minist-
to boast Of this kinship in a speech at a
public dinner. 1t was owing to this
that he had to resign. The resignation
was generally attributed to the Minis
ter's repngnance to the decree which
confiscated the property Of the Orleans
family; but this was q mere p%retext.
The truth wes that Louis Napoleon
deeplsy resented De Morny's presump,
tion, and marked it for ever afterword BY
maintaining q strict punctiliousness Of
manner even IN his most confidential
relations with the Statesman, who was to
do the empire such good ana showey
service in many ways. With Persigny
and Walewski, on the contrary, the
Emperor was on such terms that he adj
dressed them as Tu, and Persigny was
a man of 50 passionate and impulsive
temperthat he sometimes forgot himself
to the point of saying TIL, in return.
