U. S. District Attorney Bextojc
who was recently suspended by
the President for an alleged viola
tion of the order prohibiting Unit
ed States officials from taking an
active part in politics has been re

clusively to the president that
there was no violation of the order
in fact whereupon an order, re
scinding the order of suspension
was immediately issued.
As Eastern exchange 6ays: The
climate of Florida is a more power

than all the forces of the United
States army. The enervating cli

day. There are 454 bucks, squaws
and papooses at Fort Marion,
while Geronimo and a dozen others

hard lot, and it is considered un
safe to give them much liberty.
A terible snow storm prevail
ed over a large portion of tho north
and west during the past week.
A heavy wind accompaned the fall
of snow and trains have been
snowed in and a general stoppage
of business prevailed. On the
Great Lake the storm was un
usually severe, a number of vessels
were wrecked and nearly a half-a-Lnndred
lives were lost In many
places the thermometer indicated
20 degrees below zero. Bv way of
comparison, in Arizona the tem
perature has bean just right for
comfurt and the air cool and bra
ring and no man need lose an
hours work or postpone a jour

weather. But we have scarcely
anything but climate to brag about. J
Death of Kx-President Arthur.
Ex President Chester A. Arthur
died at his home in New York City
at five o'clock on the morning of
the 18th inst
ine news ot bis eleatti was a
great surprise notwithstanding
all the rumors of his ill health
during the past six months. His
disease was one affecting the kid
neys, and those nearest to him
had no hopes of his permanent re
covery, but his sudden demise was
not spoken of. He began to sink
rapidly shortly after midnight,
and by three o'clock it was known
that death was approaching. A
6troke of cerebral apoplexy, sud
den but not wholly unexpected by
the attending physicians, terminat
ed nis life. rue stroke came in
his sleep between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning and he
did not rally thereafter. His death
was painless, and like the slow
goingout of a burned down candle,
and four hours before the end
came he was unconscious to his
surroundings.
His son and daughter, his sister
and his former partner, Sherman
W. Knevals, and his closest friend.
Surrogate Rollins, were at his bed
side. ' Mr. Arthur was fifty six
years old. He had been a widow
er seven years. His wife died in
1879. Of their two children, the
son, Chester Allen Arthur, is
twenty-two years old, and the
daughter, Nellie, of whom Arthur
was very loml, is fourteen years
old. Tho funeral took place Mon
day the 22d inst The services
were held at 9 o'clock in the mor
ning in the church of Heavenly
Rest, cor. 5th Avenue and 45th
street After the services the body
was taken by train to Albany,
where th9 intorment took place.
No parade or appearance of dis
play was made tho funeral being

probability is, that the next Lake
sale will be above 12 cents, though
how far above is quite uncertain

Baltimore, 10Jllc.
There have been abundant ru-
n ors in London about the Anaconda
going to work. It was announced
here even that it would go to work
on Thursday last, bnt the rumor
is supposed to have been startod
to depress Chili Bars in London.
It is certain that the works have
not started up, and there is, so far
as we can learn from special ad
vices, no prospect of its doing so
soon. Neither is it probable that
Arizona furnaces will start up this
year. The consequence is, that
our stocks here will scarcely snffice
for our wants: indeed, furnace
material is now coming from a
hroaa, anct it is said tnat some
Lake copper could come back at
121 cents.
Our impression is, however, that
Europe wants Lake copjr instead
of sending us any of what it has.
J lie statistical position of the
metal is very strong, and we look
for a good market for some time
to come.

Ocr Territorial Secretary, Mr.
Jas. A. Bayard, in a card in the
Prescott Courier, referring to the
statement made by the Journal
Miner "that he (Bayard) thought
more of an Indian than a poor
white" has the following to say :
"In answer to this charge I do-
sire to state that it is entirely and
absolutely untrue, in short, a lie
out of the whole cloth, and that
unless this charge is immediately
witdrhawn by the editor of the
Journal-Miner, I shall institute a
prosecution for malicious libel
against him and if the two nn
known persona, by whose authori
ty this statement is said to have
been niado will make an affidavit
to the fact I shall proceed against
tnera criminally."
Pretty strong language but it is
the only way to treat malicious
falsehoods.
The Banner Democratic County.
The board of supervisors can

Graham county on the 16th. Mark
Smith's majority 312, CM, Strauss'
majority 408, Watkins, joint coun
cilman, 332. The entire conuty
democratic ticket was elected bv
an average majority of noarly 300.
Considering the connty poled less
than 850 votes, Graham county is
justly entitled to be enrolled aa
the banner democratic county of
the territory, if not of the Pacific
coast, and to Hon. Gee. H. Stevens
and P. J. Bulan and their faithful
lieutenants is due tho praise.
