Pinney informs us that the House Bill No. 167, for the relief of "Bucky" O'Neil for $500 is a fraud of the first water. Judge Pinney refused to appoint O'Neil court reporter in his Distiict, but subsequently, while the Judge was holding court in Globe, O'Neil turned up and asked that be might be employed, and the Judge did em plop O'Neil a day and a half , for which he charged $500, which Judge Pinney very properly refused to allow, but did allow O'Neil $75, which he refuse to take. On a strong affiduvit it seems O'Neil has got his bill through for a relief of $500. Judge Pinney, who has just gotten out of bed from a severe spell of sickness, learning of the trans action, eent the Governor tbis morn ing the following dispatch: Phcenix, March 9, 1885. F. A. Tritle, Governor: The pretended claim of one O'Neil claiming to have been my court re- poiter from July to January, 1882, is first-class steal. D. PI. Finney The argument by some f our co- temporarics that the office of Com missioner of Immigration would be useless from :ha fact that he could not find i oom for more immigrants is the most senseless objection that has yet been filed, and' it merely shows the author's remarkable if no. ranee of the country In which he lives. By a careful computation ot bottom lands and mesa areas in the Territory susceptible of irrigation from streams and artesian wells, for there is now no doubt that artesian water can be found almost anywhere at a depth that will not be impracti cable, there is room in the Territory on what may be called purely agrK ullural lands for 200,000 more sett tiers than we have, on tracts of land, Dd good land too, of from fifty to hundred acres each, and fifty acres ill make any family wealtby and be all they can cultivate and prop erly care for, in raisins, wine grapes fruits and all those things that will yield such enormous returns to the settler.

Cleveland proposes to be governed by ft just and unrestrained construc tion of the constitution; to form en tangling alliances with no nation; to so adjust the revenue as to relieve the people . from unnecessary taxa- Hon; to treat the. Indians fairly; to repress polygamy in the Territories; to prohibit the importation of servile classes ; to protect the people from the incompetency of those who hold office and seek it under the spoils system Cleveland's inaugural address wa short and committed . him to nothing. His message must be re lied upon to determine which foot he goes off on, and we venture to say that all tho stiff back bene that has been accorded to him will be as lim ber as party pressure might desire it. Like the majority of men he proba bly felt politically very virtuous till he found himself in the midst of the battle for its maintenance and began to understand that there were wills as well as his own and a great party whose interests were more to politi cians than his virtue.

It is a good indication so far as this valley is concerned when other cities of the Territory are waking "fcp to the desirability of more ready comnrunication with it and are mov ing to establish railroads and wagon rpads into it.

The wellfare of the Territory requires a Ionian in that position of a more vig orous type than Mr. Oury bas proved himself to be. Hon. De Forest Porter and the two gentlemen, Messrs. Armstrong and Tadd, who have so nobly stood by him in every move of interest to Maricopa county and often advanced measure co-ordinate with his, wil' be remembered and honored for the work they have done for the people of this county long after their assail ants are buried in the letheau waves of obscurity. It is to be hoped that our legisla tors will now turn their attention to the Territorial Fair bill and the Im migration bill. There is a necessity of advertising the country at large in a systematic and effective manner which can be done on hre" ef ficient plan iban by piKning these two worthy schemes to point where they will become recognized and well established institutions for the proof and promulgation of our inex baustable resourses.

LEGISLATIVE. Special to the Hzhaijj. Prescott March 6--Council met at 2 oclock yesterday,took up the immi gration bill. Weedin supported the mtasute in it brilliant and forcible speech in which he showed the ben efits other states and territories had received from similar officer, and he strongly urged the necessity for Arizona to advertise her resources. Weedin was listened to with close attention by a crowded house and the largest assemblage of ladies yet seen in the . chamber. Stevens and Stewart opposed the bill but pro duced no arguments in support of their views. Todd supported the measure in a strong speech and on motion the commttee rose and placed the bill on passage and it passed by a vole of 8 to 4.

The appropriation for the Territo rial Fair comes up this afternoon in the Council, and will pass. President Arthur breakfasted-with his family at the White House About nine o'clock Senator Hawley proceeded to Willard's Hotel, where he was joined by Vice President' elect Hendricks, and the two went to the White House. They occupied a handsome open barouche, lined wilh crimson satin and drawn by four beautiful white horses. The Tice President was heartily cheered all along the short ride to the White House. Just as they were entering the grounds President Arthur's car- nnge, containing Senators Sherman and Ransom, started to the Arling ton for the President-elect. The carriage was also an open barouche and drawn by four spanking bays from the President's stables. The seats were covered with soft heavy black and white buffalo robes. The Senatorial committee were ushered nto the presence of the President elect immediately on their arrival at the Arlington, and after a short de- ay the three gentlemen appeared at the south entrance of the hotel, took their seats in the carriage and were rapidly driven to the White House, where they joined President Arthur, Vice President elect Hend ricks and Senator Hawley. Marshal McMichacl met the party at the AVhite House portico and escorted the President-elect into the presence of President Arthur. THE PRESIDENT ELECT was greet td with cheers and waving of handkerchicts as he drove along Sixteenth street from the hotel and kept his hat raised in recognition of the compliment. Long before the hour set for the movement of the prccetsion, the music of hundreds of bands heading organizations setking their posts blended in one confused roar. By ten o'clock the entire population of the city seemed to have deserted their homes and occupied the streets on the line of march. The crowd was something unprecedented even in this cityi accustomed to receive the outpour ings of the nation's population. While the rarty were at the VT-ite House the Chief Marshal of the pro cession and his aides rode into the grounds and notified the Prrsident elect that the procession was lowed by the District militia, headed by the Washington light infantry. A number of colored militia formed part of the first division and pre sented a highly creditable appears ance. The local divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic closed the escorting divisions. Precisely at HALF-PAST TWELVE the procession appeared coining out of the main door of the capnol. President Arthur stepped to the front of the platform, followed by the President Elect, , Chief Justice Waite and the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate. All uncovered as they stood facing the crowd, and the va6t . . . . i asscn'-niage cneerea again ror some, ; minutes. When the nfrsons w" were to officiate at the ceremonies were seated on the platform the President Elect began his inaugural address. He was clad in a full black Prince Albert coat; high, old fash ioned standing collar, and a black tie. In speaking, he held his left hand behind him and emphasised his speech by gestures with his hand He spoke without much emphasis but occasionally consulted a small piece of paper having notes of the heads of his discourse. His voice was clear and resonant and lie ersily enunciated his words, and occasion ally turned about at tne pauses to note the effect of his remarks. '1 he address was very brief, and at pits cisely at twelve o'clock it concludid with an invocation ot the BLESSIXG OF PROVIDENCE. aud turning to the chief justice and bowing to him he said, "I am now piepared to take the oath provided by law." As the chief justice arose to administer the oath the vast as semblage cheered again and again. Tlie President Elect stood squeezed btl ween two men, Hlmos t as closely united as the Siamese twins. The chief justice was the first to congrat ulate President Cleveland, and ex- President Arthur the second. Others then pressed forward, but finally he retired from the scene, and moved to his carriage to be escorted -to the White House. .

The party ; posiii.ii.s lie- ci.-.,,-- ows: In President Arthur's carriage President Arthur, with Presiden-elect Clevelaud on his left; Senator Sherman facing President Arthur, and Senator Ransom on his right, facing the President-elect. The second carriage contained the Vice Presidentelect with Senator Howley on his left. As the two car riages drove out of the gales and entered the line the occupants were greeted with the WILDEST ENTUSIASM the men shouting, the women screaming and waving their hand kerchiefs, and all seemed carried away with enthusiasm. The Presi dent Elect and Vice President Elect cime in for the principal share of the enthusiasm, and each of them raised his hat and bowed to the crowd, which lined both sides of the carriage way. The first division of the procession, cscoiting the Presi dent Elect, then began the MARCH TO THE CAPITOL- The scenes on Pemi-ylvanla Ave nue baffled description. The greai, surging 'mass hid the side walks, and above them the stately buildings were covered with cloths of gor geous colors arranged in patriotic devices. The soft spring breeze lazily stir'ed the Innumerble flags aud streamers, and special aids in brilliant uniforms dashed hither and thither, lending animation to the scene. The police regulations were perfect, and the avenue, wilh its hard, smooth surface. ws completes ly cleared of everything that inig-ht obstruct the pageant. The United States rcgulrr iYr.ps came tiit, thus deuvting somewhat from the order of the program, with the prob- ble object of insuring a clear marching space. Their ranks ex tended clear across the avenue, and presented an imposing appearance. The United States Marine corps, with its magnificent bnd, was followed by an artillery baUalion. This section of the procession pre ceeeded south to the front of the Treasury Building, aud halted and came to p-.rade rest in order to offer opportunity for the presidential party to FALL INTO LINE. The Piesident's carriage was pre ceded by the Gen. Slocum, the thief marshal, and his staff, aud a troop of United Slates Cavalry. Surrouding the carriage were a dozen mounted policemen. The pai-y received an ovation al! aloi g the line of march. In approaching ilie avenues and streets the military companies and society oigiiniz-itions were massed in columns, l'oiming brilliant visias as far as the eye could reach.

Roberts, while out gunning, met with an accident by which he suffered the loss of his left band and it may cost him his life. Mr. Roberts came here a few months ago with his wife on account of his health, which is very bad, he being afflicted wiii oonsuinDtion . S went down the river shooting, and it seems that he left the carriage with his gun, in pursuit of game, and in the brush by some means the gun was discharged, the load tearing through his left v. rist, mangling it terribly. He finally got back to the carriage aud Mrs. Ruber's, though greatly exhausted, and some ladies driving near were summoned aud finally a messenger scut to town for assistance and a wagon sent out in which he could iie down, as by the time the wound was roughly done up he was unable to sit up. He was so much exhausted 'that the physicians called in determined not lo make the amputation of his V.and, which they saw at once was neces sary, till Sunday morning, when it was hoped he would feel stronger. Dr. J. E. Whart'n, the attending physician, summoned Drs. Rosson, Lightburne and Mahoney, and at 10 o'clock Sunday, the amputation was made, though there was little hope of his surviving the operation. He came through all right, however, and, though very weak, there is hope that he will now survive the shock. The Asylum bill which it was res ported here had been stolen and then foui.d to have been misplaced was really stolen from the desk of the chairman of the committee having it in charge. But Judge Porter's promptness in producing another copy on time induced the thief to return it 'with i note lo the desk w-tttro Uo jit it. Th. note was to the effect that'll to eiuiof j gave John Pcirington from the impuwi. Jion of Laviuc lost it. The crime wass no ltss than if the document had nevertajmr'- recovereel and the crimi nal thuld be thoroughly punished. A reception and welcome "to "r representatives ou their return from Prescott about ."the middle of the month, would certainly be in place, as a small way of recognizing their invaluable services to this county in the legislature. is' Fraislii CLCTHIITG-, Hats, Caps, Etc., Etc. pUIUSilalS 1 M gpifblTMO So OlriE PEICE TO .ILtZ-.- $Where You Can Find a Full Line of E very th ins:. -EXi TERSV1S CASH.
