St. Johns, Thursday, July 2.
Milner mounts his column and
a half of opaque sentences and ar
gues from questions of his own
raising, then enters up judgement
and nobody knows anything of his
case. A writer in the Herald of
last week comments on the good or
bad taste of an "affidavit maker" or
"informer" and handled him just
in accordance with the spirit of the
information given. The Herald
is not trying the case of Mr. Hub-
bell, or the right to the office of
sheriff, this is the business of the
courts and the probability is that
the court will take care of the mat
ters involved therein. "What is the
matter with Orator Milner, has the
study of the kind of liberty and
independence, he shall proclaim for
the polygamous church from the
forum on the Fourth, mixed him
to the point and consistency of
mush. Dont weaken Bro. Milner
this is your opportunity. Orator !
Yc Gods 1 ! Tell of the church that
claims Tour allegiance, first, last
and all the time ; tell us of endow
ment houses and blood atonements j
tell us of all the liberties of which
the church hath made you free.
Ring out the praises of the church,
high above the state and swell the
chorus of Hosanna to the Presi
dent and the Apostles. Teach the
people as j'ou orate something they
should know of the God whom
you serve.
We take from the Arizona Miner
the following notice of the death of
Capt. Antoine Pelletier, one of the
most prominent citizens of the city
of Washington.
"Recent advices from Washing
ton, D. C, state that the claim of
the late Captain Antoine Pelletier,
against the Haytien government,
for false imprisonment, for $246,000
has been finally adjudicated, by the
representatives of Hayti agreeing
to allow $57,000, in full settlement
of the claim. Captain Pelletier's
death, in New York, we recently
chronicled, and the justice which
has at last been accorded him comes
too late to repay him for the long
years of arduous and discouraging
efforts to secure redress for his
wrongs. The Captain was formerly
a resident of Prescott, and has a
lister and -a niece residing in this
citv -the latter being the wife of
Hon. Jno. G. Campbell."
Wo hud been personally ac
quainted with Captain Pelletier for
many years and were surprised and
grieved to hear of his death. The
Caoin waa an i..Iefatiable
worker in whatever he undertook.
A man of great executive ability
and of rare Invent! vd genius. In
his younger days he followed tae
fiea as coast and foreign tf adcr aiii
became possessed of vast weaifch
from his enterprise. His last in-yen-tions
w an iho manufacture
of stone for building jpurpose6; and
an indistructable pavement for ilic
streets of large cities.
Farewell old friend, though you
may not have been recompensed for
losses istnined .fee, we believe
your charaties during your long
andreventfujl .career will 5 imply
compensated by Him w& under

TERRITORIAL RAILWAYS-
There is now no doubt of the
early completion of the railway
from Chino to Prescott. Men are
on the ground with their instru
ments, laborers are plenty, and the
route the best on the continent;
there is in fact, no heavy work on
the whole line. The contractors
have ample means, and the sooner
the work is completed the greater
will be the profit to the builders
the greater to the stock-holders
the better it will be for the country
along the line. The greater the
travel along the Atlantic & Pacific
railway, the larger shipments of
ore of silver and gold bullion willj
bring to the country a correspond
ing value in coin and currency.
Every enterprise in mining, agri
culture, commerce, and in mer
chandise and stock will be pro
moted as these feeders of the main
line shall be multiplied. This por
tion of Arizona was but a few
years ago an unexplored desert, to
day with but' one line streching
from east to west, and that not
through the best portion, its im
portance, its great worth is her
alded over the universe.
Every traveler over the line is
worth a thousand printed circulars
setting forth its present advantages.
With the introduction of only one
line the territory has made these
startling advances in civilization.
What may we not expect when a
perfect system of feeders shall
reach the cultivateble lands and
parks of the best feed in the world
for cattle ranges, to the north and
south of the through route. The
number of settlers within the next
four years will increase ten fold,
and no man will be sharp enough
to find what to-day is called a fron
tier people, and will soon find that
they can buy railroad lands at less
price than the cost of locating and
paying for government sections,
and the bug-a-boo of land grab
bery and land sharks will no long
er frighten the man from the terri
tory who will give the subject the
least consideration. Under the
law, we desire to see every man,
every head of a family gather his
fold about him and make himself
a home while yet there is room.
Frank M. Pixlev, of the Argo
naut has for the last ten days been
pretty savagely criticised by the"
press of Arizona and New Mexico.
The provocation is the tone of the
leading article published in Pix
ley's paper under date of June 13,
last.
In his opening statement the
editor cites one fact which re
dounds to the credit of the Pacific
Coast press, viz: "The Argonaut
will be the only journal upon this
coast, probably, that will have the
courage to say that it is a cowardly
and inexcusable plot of thieves
and rascally contractors to make
money by the unjustifiable massa
cre of an innocent people."- Again
he continues : "We do not hesitate
to say that our sympathies are
with the Apaches We
wish they could drive the cowardly
drunkeipang of cowboys and vol
unteer blackguards who are on the
war-path, into an ambuscade and
murder them." Now, such language
from any one not bereft of reason,
not a mono-maniac, not absolutely
crazy, in this country and among
this people, deserves the severest
condemnation that can be heaped
upon it and - the utterer of fhe
horrible sentiment deserves the"
same punishment as should be
nieted out to the murderers whose
blood-tiuirsty cravings he applauds.
"An-Indiail w3 does not exist in
Arizona;" say not, but that mur
ders of innocent settlers are con
stantly committed by Apache In
dians Itt our columns of to-day
furnish the evidence though the
ghastly record may causehe heart
of Pixtey to rejoice with unalloyed
joy; it is aot so with the widow
and orphan of him wno was ton
ing solely for their support in the
ftultivation of the soil; searching
n TYi nn or tho. rocks for evidences oi
.the precious metals, .or watching
flocks and herds by day anu nigm ,
cammmr on the plains in all
weather: beneath the burning rays
-'iramcr
sun, or mo
blasts of cruel winter
Of
for the slight recompence of $300
to $600 per year. Thtse are the
so styled blackguards that Pixle3r
refers to as bringing gladness to his
heart when he hears that their
lives have been sacrificed to satiate
the desires of the wild Apache for
a sight of the crimson current that
maintains the unity of their souls
and bodies. Can it be possible that
it would require more than this to
complete the happiness of Pixley ?
yes, one more trifle hear him:
"We wish they (the Apaches) had
the arms and the opportunity to
give our personal- friend, General
Crook and his army, a good sound
thrashing." It seems that it would
be the delirium of ecstacy to have
the blood of his. personal friend
flow. Why not contribute a wife,
child, sister or brother, and turn
Hottentot, the closer the relations
the greater the joy, seems to be the
sentiment of F. M. Pixie-, editor.
For thirty-five years to our
knowledge, Mr. Pixley has been a
chronic scold and crank, and so
estimated by Californians ; "but in
this last, effusion, he seems to have
out done himself. He is now too
old to court popularity and it is
charitable to suppose that he has
finally become bereft of reason.
Special advices state that much
excitement prevails at St. Johns,
the county seat of Apache county,
over the arrest of Sol. Barth, a
wealthy stockman and merchant,
and ex-member of the legislature.
He is charged with perjury and
other criminal offenses and has
given bail for his appearance at the
district court in the sum of $4,000.
Sheriff Mulvenon, of Yavapai, ef
fected "the arrest, the sheriff of
Apache declining to do so. Pres
cott Miner.
Bro. Beach somebody has been
deceiving you. The sheriff of
Apache county had no warrant for
the arrest of Mr. Barth ; did not
know h& was to be arrested ; was
not asked by Sheriff Mulvenon, or
any other sheriff or person, to ar
rest him ; was not in town when the
arrest was made. The deputy sher
iff met Mr. Mulvenon and talked
with him, the conversation had ho
reference to the arrest spoken of,
nor to the arrest of any one else.
Furthermore there is no excitement
in this town on the subject, or on
any other, and to our personal
knowledge there has been none.
No Gin in Albuquerque on elec
tion da'. Hughes and Albright
voted that ticket.
