FROM MENDOZA.

Our republican haven for fossilized abolition

hearing that one of "Uncle Sans Stars, had
been down here from Chicago and gobbled two
OF their number on charge of cheating him in
his revenues. All were anxious to know what
would happen to these two sin-cursed and sin.

psrations were made an able limb of the law
was secured, in order if necessary to furnish q
safe retreat from the dire contest before Com.
missioner Hoyne. An e1-deputy assessor, a
national bank president and one lone and selita-
ry democrat were subponad to appear before
his majesty. The time came on at last, and the
trembling, painting culprits put in their appear

skrmisher and rear-guard, and 1 learn did his
duty well. A great show of repentance and
sorrow being manifest on the par. of the prison.
ers, his majesty Commissioner Hoyne saw fit to
place the lowest possible fine upon them, under
our republican lars, and the costs, amounting in
all from sixteen hundred to two thousand dol
lars. The whole matter was submitted the next
day to Judge Drummond, who I learn was ex-
ceeding 10th to sanction the action of the Com
missioner, but who was, by the interposition of
his able counsel with the District Attorney, lex.

the arrangement pass.
Since the return of these parties there has
been great shaking in this republican Israel.

In the meantime ways and means have been

zon. A few Anticipated men and score of bows
have been organized, are actually drilling, and
last night they chose our bantam postmaster"
captain thereof. They are all uniformed with
shiney black caps, ornamsnied with parti.
colored ribbon, like shiney cape, a wooden
staff mounted with tin lamp, and sheep skin,
which they have not yet decided where to wear,
whether it shall be before, as the old Roman
legions carried their shields, or whether upon
their ''posterities;" although learn, by the
way, that their valiant captain last night, in
very elaborate argument, proved that ancien.
precedent decided it should be worn before.
Aet his experiences in the late terrible war had
demonstrated to him its great practical utility
in the latter place. The uses Of the cap, cape
and staff are not fully known, but the democra-
oy think that the lamps and boys, after next
November, will furnish grand escort to the
funeral procession of the republican party in its
retirement to the vale of Salt River
