The Fort Grant court martial re
resulted about as" wo expected it
would. tOnly t.o of the treacherous
scouts were convicted and the sen
tences passed on them, considering'
tho gravity of their offences, are
shamefully light. Scout No. 19 was
sentenced to forfeit to the United
States all pay and allowance now
due, and to bo dishonorably dis
charged from the service of the gov
ernmant'. Scout No. 15, the murder
er of Cant. Hen tig, was sentenced to
"bo dishonorably discharged fiom
the service of tho United States,
forfeiting all pay and allowance now
due, and be confined at hard labor,
at suoh place as tho proper author
ities' may direct, for tho term of hi
natural life." Had the offenders
been white soldiers, no such leniency
could have been shown. Had they
been citizen scouts and guilty of the
same crime, they would have been
shot without needless ceremony. The
Indians, it seems, arc a privileged
class and can murdor, steal, or com
mit any other crime their brutal in
stincts may prompt, with perfeqt im
punity. Florence Enterprise.
We commend tho above to the
careful consideration of congress. It
were useless to recommend it to the
war department, for it has a way of
doing matters past tho apprehension
of the world at large. The red
"wards of tho nation" are a privi
leged class. They are well fed and
well clad; yet, like the lilies; "they
toil not, neither do they spin."
Let the'poc-Vwhite deW violate the
law, and if he is not hung or shot, he'
is set at hard labor and made to
"earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow." Indians may break out in
periodical war, and after they
have slaked their thirst for human
blood, they are enticed back to their
comfortable reservations by red shirts,
red blankets, beads and tobacco, and
are again pampcred'at the nation's
expense. It appears to us, here upbn
the border, that it is time that oui
legislators learned something of it
practical nature how these people
light to be treated in order to secure
i peace to the country and tho great-

The road agents are at their work
again. The Bisbeo road is now the
field for their harvest. Tho query is,
how did they happen to know the
funds were on board? Wells, Faigo
& Co. ought to have a' detective
around to look out for tho leaks.
Some one tells; the question is, who
is it? Tucson Star.
Tho ablution to the above conun
drum is easy to those who know any
thing about affairs here. Whenever
treasure is shipped oyer the road a
messenger is sent on that stage;
when there is no treasure there is no
guard. Under these circumstances
any intelligent person can deduce the
fact whether the coach is en bonanza
or en borusco. Again, it is well
known that Copper Queers pay-day
is about the 8th of the montfi, there
fore -on the 6th, when tho guard
mounted tho coach, it was a reason
able sUppos'tion that the money was
going forward to pibff'whh. Mr.
J. B. Hume, the company's most
confidential employee, is hore, and
can and will verily this solution of
the matter, which we trust will be
satisfactory to thq.Star.
If this continual raid which tho
United States army is carrying on
against the Indians shall go on, says
tho Nashville World, the rac? will
surely be exterminated. Think of it;
about two months ago thoy captured
a little Indian girl who had strayed
from camp, and th6 other day they
captured a squaw and a papoose or
two, and now these daring soldiera
have captured a wholo Indian camp.
There was, how'evor, but one Indian
in the camp, and ho was dead.
An Kl JPaso Toast.
The El Paso Herald of the 4th in
stant tells tho following :
Ono of our local attorneys wo
won't give his name got a little en
thused on New Year's, and drank tho
following toast: Here's to Guiteau!
May "he be launohed in a small
schooner on a broad and boundless
ocean, without. rudder or compass;
may that schooner bo swallowed by
a whale, the whale in the devil's bel
ly, the door locked and the key
lostj and furthermore, may he be
chained in the northeast corner of

his eyes, to all eternity, G d d n

the Santa Catarina Copper compunv, with
Mr. Baker, a large'stockholdcr, and Mr.
Frank Stevens, who Is sent on by the New
York company to take charge ot the books

TELEGRAPHIC.
The CI nit can Trial.
Washington, Jan. 9. Guiteau
arrived at the court house about 9:30
a. M., and was taken to tho waiting
room. Ho appeared rather nervous
and his countenance indicated affx
iety. When he had taken a seat in
tho dock ho glanced around stea'tliijy
and immediately began a harangue,
evidently intended for tho jury.
."I have received some eight hun
dred letters j a great many of them,
fronn ladies. When I get time I
shall attend to them. I want to send'
my greeting to the ladies Of America
and thank them for their sympathy.
They dou't want me to be hanged.
Public opinion is fast changing. I
received ." aturday a check for $1000
from tho stalwarts of Brooklyn, and
another for $500 from the stalwarts
of New York. I want, the jury to
understand how public opinion is
on thts case."
A bailiff here tried to silence him,
when he turned upon him in the
most vicious manner, and shouted,
"You keep quiet and mind your own
business. Do not interfere with jne
when I am talking. If you had any
sense you would understand yr
place."
With this opening breeze proceed
ings in duo form wero began, and
ouovnie resumeu ins argument, aim
addressed the court for over an hour
without interruption, concluding his
argument by 12 o'clock. The court
then took a recess.
Gossip About Gnlteau.
Washington Jan. 9. Guite'au
says he wants just one hour to talk
to the jury; they'll vindicate kirn.
An eminent lawyer says that under
the code of tho district of Columbia
Guiteau cannot be hanged before
next May.
Scovillo says the checks for $1500,
received by Guiteau Saturday, were
worthless and were merely practical
jokes. This has frequently occurred.
He himself has had numerous bogus
checks, ono for $15,000.

Barnes get nothing.be
cause thoy wero in tho employ of tho
government, but it is said they are to
be promoted by way of recompense
for their services. In answer to the
question what was to go to the rail
roads, a friend of Bliss remarked to

PINAL 1TKMH.
From the Florence Enterprise,
A large riu'mber of ore sacks Were
sent up to Mineral Hill Saturday.
They were co'hsMgned to Mr. Jb'hri D.
Sibbald and will be used in shipping
ore from the Cholla and Wedge.
A large number of the juvenile
Florentines are moping around, now-a-days,
with more "jaw" about them
than is possessed by the average
mother-in-law. They are suffering
from mumps.
A force of thirty men will be put
to work on tho Specie , Paying mine,'
on or before the first of next mouth.
Mr. Thomas B. Fish, the foreman, is
now engaged in making preparations
for the work.
Reports reach us of a very rich
stiikeonthe southern slope of the
Superstitious mountains, which lie to
the south of Florence about thirty-
five miles. We have not learned the
particulars yet.
A four-horse team, loaded with
goods, passed through here Tuesday,
en route to Mineral Hill. The goods
belonged to some Tucson parties who
intend to open a store at the Cotton
wood camp, Mineral Hill; We did
not learn the names.
Mr. William P. Miller is calling in
the subscriptions for Alice stock, and
tho compaily "will be incorporated at
once and the property paid for.
vv hen this shall have been accom
plished a large force of mbn will be
put to work on the mine, sinkirg a
shaft on a five Hundred-foot, two
compartment'shaft. Mr. Whittaker, of Tucson, was
here this Week, and Fee u red several
good claims at Mineral Hill. He
proposes organizing a company at'
Tucson to work these claims. Like'
every other man who has given the
uisiriut a careiui anu lair examina
tion, he considers it one of tlie most
promising mineral fields in the west.
Mr. C.D. Henry, of Cottonwood,
was in. town this week. He is pre
paring to ship ore from one of his
copper claims, located on the river,
about ten mi'es above Florence. He
can take out a large amount of ore
that will average 40. to 60 per cent,
copper. This can be mined and
shipped at a handsome! profit.
We predicted last week that ce
ment would yet bo discovered in
this county, and our prediction has
been fulfilled already. Thomas
McLelland has discovered this value
able mineral on the Caledonia copper
claim. Ho has not prospected it
sufficiently to determine the quantity,
but the quality is first-class. He
came in from the Caledonia Monday,
and besides specimens of the cement,
he brought with him a lot of magnifi
cent copper ore. He rep'orts a strike
of a six-fo -t vein of red oxide of
copper in the Caledonia and sees in
in the future the probability of his
becoming a millionaire. He certainly
has reason to be jubilant, if the
specimens broughtin are a fair average
of the vein, and he states that they
are.
An Arizona I'lan.
From the Su Fiancluco Exchange.
It would,sve time, monpy, mental
worry, rows, political conventions,
and a good many other things, if tho
Arizona plan of allowing distinguish
ed and ambitions citizens to an.
nounce themselves as candidates for
civic offices was followed iri this city,
and by pooling their issues, so to
speak, the expenso to each candidate
would be nominal. If the Tomb
stone plan was adopted, the Daily
Exchange and its esteemed contem
poraries Would contain an advertise
ment somewhat to this effect:
NOTICE
We hereby announce ourselves as candi
dates for
MAYOR
at the ensuing municipal election :

Baggelt, John White, A. C. Heister, Fred

liamberger, Dennis Kearney and many
others.
By this means convention wire
pullers and pot-house politicians
would become thinjjs of the past,
and the golden age of municipal pol
itics set in with a big boom. The
gentle voter would, merely look over
tho list of would-like-to-be mayors
and select the man of his choice.
There would bo no fuss, no friction
of any kind. Lctfus try the cactus

Northern Arlaona Peril.
Froa the AriibWhrncV.
Arizona, e'fer TJih'ce'ber'sertlbment
by white men, has labore'd under 'dif
ficulties of all kinds. For years tho
Indians deterred immigration and
capital from the outside world. Fi
nally, after year's of ha'td fighting,
they were conquered by the military
authorities, atiii placed on reserva
tions, 'and peace and plenty reigned
supreme; prosperity shone' on s
our towns and villages were 'filled
with enterprising und energe'tic men;
reilroads entered our bordars, and
thrift and prosperity wero marked
every wh -re. Then tho cow-boy ele
ment took possession of southern
Arizona; stages anu trains were
robbed, settlements entered and ran
sacked, cattle and horses stitlen and
run off, and men who dared to pro
tect their property were shot down
without warning. Northern Arizona,
up to within a few months ago, was
tree from this lawless class, but
upon the commencement of the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, that
spirit of desperation seems to have
taken hold of this section. Reports
of crimes and depredations come in
almost daily from the Hue of the rail
road, and unless some 'action is soon
taken to check the course of this
crowd, Arizona will once more be
placed in the turmoil of war.

From Mr. O. Lawrence the following
facls in relation io 'the 'pursuit of ttic-stoleh
stock froiri Helta's horse ranBh were
'learned. The morning 'after the stock
'was stolen, which waa 'one week ago last
Sunday, the stock having been driven off
on Saturday evsning, Mr. Lawrence, in
company with Henry Schultz, Walter Hal
sell and Jeff Sallng, took tke'-trail and
started 'iri, pursuit. They 8truek the trail'
six miles troni the ranch and followed it to
tlie foot of the Smsshelm mountains, on
the western side, where they found a man
who saw the. party. He at first supposed
they were Mexican smugglers, and in
that supposition lie crept cautiously up to
vvithin two hundred yards Of.thcm v. here

he thinks there was one among the horses.
He counted seventeen horses and mules
in the band.) It has been ascertained
that there was taken from the ranch

them td within ten mile's Of San Barnardino
ranch, when -'(be trail took -a sudden tufil
in a southeast direction, crossing this Qua.
daiupe canyon and striking direct for the
Sierra Hadrcs. Ihe party followed them
four days, and until they got Into the
Sierras, where the country was so' rough
and rncky tlnit It Was usfcl'&s to'go further,
when they turned libout1 and came. home,
hiving been gone seven, days, riding as
hard as their horses could stand it They
found where the Indians had killed and
abandoned tfiree colts and five horses thi't
had'gHen out In the fflght. Whetherthis
band is a part of Juh's 'biad that passed
through this country in October last, or
some renegades just from San. Carlos,
cannot now be told. That they got the
horses and are now in Sorora is certain.

The Territory of Arizona vs. Jiio Hawes
and William Hav.es charged with'assault
to murder. Up6n exsailnaiion'the charge
was reduced to simple assault and each of
the defendants were fined f 5 and costs,
making $29 in each case. The gist ot

abt, F. Rosencrantz, has several teams en
gaged in haulmg wood in from the Dra
goon mountains. The defendants are.his
teamsters two brothers and brothsrs of
Rosencrantz' wife. It seems that on Sus-
dar they bad taken out with them1 bottle
of liquor and one of them was somewhat
intoxicated when Mr. Rosencrantz carae to
them where at work. The result was that
he told the brothers that that would not,
do, that he would have no such work,
around him, going so far, it is reported, as
to threaten to break the bottle. 'At' this'
one of the brothers became 'enraged and
made violent t'jrsats, wliereupun the other
brother, who was not at this -time intoxi
cated, persuaded Mr. Rosencrantz to go
away, saying that it would be all right
He did go away, but on returning some
time-after, be found both drunk andin'a
fighting humor, 'and they went-o far as to
drive him away frm his teams and fired
at him. At this Mr. Rosei.rrantz became
so alarmed that he ran away with all his
might, and kept on running until exhaust
ed, when he 'out down by the side'
of the road, where he Vas taken up
by a Jnan who came along in a buggyand
brought to town, where complaint was en
leied and a warrant issued by Justice Fel
ler, which was put into the bunds of Dep
uty Sheriff Perki'ds, who w'erit out aud
made the arrests, bringing fn the prisoners
and lodging them in jail Sunday night
