GOVERNOR STAFFORD IN ARIZONA.

from the Arizona Miner, November 49,
The address o: Governor Stafford,
which we print, thi, week, we are glad
to lay before u readers who did not
hear it. To every miner in the Terri.
tory, it must be q source Of great en-
couragsment to know that owing to Gov
ernor Safford's great practical knowl-
edge Of mines, no a confidently and
from actual observation speak rs he
does Of our mineral prospects. The
miners of California and Nayada, who
know Governor Stafford, will read tho
address with q feeling Of confidence
seldom given 10 newspaper stories Of
Arizona's mineral resources. The room
in which the Governor spoke Vas
crowded with most attentive listeners,
and scores went away unable even to
get standing room where they could
hear. We thank God that We have got
q live man, a western man aud M hon.
esl miner for Governor at last, NIL Of
whose interests arc on the Pacific slope;
who seems to think that in helping the
Territory be is helping himself. Neya-
da is our next neighbor on the north,
and coming to us rs he does from there,
We feel as though he was one of US.
On Friday evening Of last week, the
Territorial and county officials Of Pres
coil united with the leading business
men Of our town and gavo n supper to
Governor Stafford, the United States
Judges, and a few other strangers then
in Prescott. In compliance with n po-
lite invitation to call at the House Mt 0
r. NJ. we were there, and must say that
tho spread sxcellcd in variety, style,
and getting up, aud cooking, any sup
per we ever assisted Mt in Prescott.
The sight Of tho little roasted porksrs,
chickens, and other filings, caused our
hearts to beat with varied emotions.
Toasss, and short pithy speeches were
Sanguine railroad projects,
and death to the Apache, were the
themes of the hour. If all the hopes
and predictions there expressed conld
DO realized, we should not care to live
than here.

THE McGARRARAS CLAIM.-Secretary
Cox has carried the celebrated McGar.
rahau land case to the Supreme Court,
on n writ Of error denying the right Of
the United States District Court to
issue u mandamus upon him requiring
him to issue n patent for the land. One
Of the singular features OF the case is
that the Secretary Of the Interior has
NO jurisdiction Of any nature over land
patents. Under the law the President
issues patents, aud the Commissioners
Of the Land Office enters and counter
signs them. Even the dutie, Of the
P,esiden: are transferred by law to a
clerk, who is authorized to sign for him
when the law is otherwise complied
With.

CHINESE TESTIMONY ADMITTED
Judge provinces, OF the Police Court,
San Francisco, who has heretofore re-
fused to admit Chinese testimony, in
cases whore white men are parties, gave
a written opinion to-day, says tae Bull
letin, deciding that the State law ex-
Guiding it is in conflict With the
Fourteenth Amendment to the National
Constitution, which requites that equal
protection shall be extended to FALL
persons" The Judge, however, holds
that only the party plaintiff or defend.
ant, or the direct witness, can be ad-
mitted to testify.

ARRESTED THE WRONG NAN.


In the News Of yesterday we pub
lished an account Of the arrest Of a pas
senger on tho Pacific Railroad, at
Omaha, on the I'd instant, who was
charged with having forged a letter OF
credit on Donahue, Kelly & Co., of San
Francisco, to the amount Of $40, 600.
Tho man was arrested on q telegram
sen, to Omaha by Eugene Kelly & Co.,
of New York city. The article pub
lished yesterday was from the Omaha
Herald Of the Sd, and stated that the
arrested party was held to bail in the
sum Of S25, 900, to await an examination
on the Sd. The Herald Of the 4th has
been received, containing a full account
of the examination. The prisoner
turucd out 10 be S. G. Bates, an agent
Of Wells, Fargo & Co., at Hornitos,
California, and who was as innocent OF
the crimc ~ q child unborn-although
he answered quite well to tho dsscrip-
ton in the telegram from New York. 1t
was clearly shown on the examination
that Mr.. Bates was the wrong man ar
rested, aud he was accordingly dis
charged. The Herald concludes its ac-
count Of the examination as follows:
Mr.. Bates has been ~wrongsd, almost
beyond the power Of reparation. He
has been insulted, his reputation sullied,
his character traduced. But when the
hour Of trouble came, he found true,
noble men in Omaha. He found a Sher-
if who extended toward him every cour-
;esy and every favor which his duties
as IN officer would permit. He found a
public prosecutor who, recognizing how
great had been tho outrage which had
been committed, laid aside tho mantle
of the defender Of the law, and assumed
the character of the champion of out
ragged justice. He found a people who
81 mpathized with him in his misfortune,
and rallied around him as they would
around q brother who had suffered
wrong, and who had been subjected to
causeless insult. Although the accused
has been discharged this matter has not
ended. There is n Law which will reach
the perpetrators of this o~ffense, and to
this law Mr.. Bates proposes to resort.
Prosecution, for false imprisonment will
at once be instituted, and pushed With
oil the vigor which the circumstances
demand.

The LenTeuworth Commercial is after
the St. Joseph Gazette in tho following
sheepish style. The yarn in the Gazette
does hold together just about as we'll

Reno Crescent, ouce told about q %"juni-

There is a venison story in the St.
Joe Gazette which does not hang OF all
well together. II seems n hunting party
went out, bought a lot Of mutton and
sent it to their friends for deer meat.
The Gazetk says that the /" oldest and
toughest sheep were selected" Now
every one knows that the older a sheep
gets the tendsrer it is. Then, again,
the local says that "to that veuison

to them, any one could SEQ that they

If we mus, have the story, we insist on

4aO Ih00koOA encouragement uSuIS6 tU
toto, the truth of the rumors current in
radicaf circles to the effect that an out
break is feared in lAnderspn Cslnty. The
| Exateliigencer saSs:S S 3
- So far as we. can aseertaip, the facts
upon which the'despatch was ipredicated
| are s;nply as follows: Two Young men
who were summenedAbef the cofllnit-
tee xefnsed to answer questions pro-
tpouhded to them by colored member,
and, perhaps, used denunciatory Ian
guage concerning the radical party. In
addition to this terrible offence against
the self-importance OF these radical
worthless several indisoreet youths Oh a
certain night badly frightened the Chair
man. Joe Crews, by their conversation
upon the hotel piazza in his presence,
indulging in abuse of radicals generally,
and otherwise showing their contempt of
him and his party. In neither instance
was there any indication of violent con-
duct beyond mere words. While not
pretending to uphold either party in the
course pursued, we submit that any
sensible man would have paid no atten-
ton whatever to these ebuIitions of
youthful passion. But the craven spirit
Of Joe Crews foresaw any amount of
trouble, and forthwith demands at the
State constabulary to prevent an out
break! and His E1celleucy, with COM
mendable zeal in answering the require
ments of his plant tool, orders u dctach-
ment without delay to the scene of
action! What an unmitigated farce!
Three or four constables reached this
place on Wednesday evening, and re-
mained until the Committee left on
Saturday morning.
These are all the facts we have been
able to gather after diligent inquiry
There was no need of the constabulary,
although Crews sought to make use of
them in serving warrants issued by one
of our magistrates, who informed the
immaculate Joseph that the Sheriff and
his deputies we're competent to arrest any
and every man in Anderson County.
We can assure Governor Scott that
there has been no breach of the peace
and no disturbance of any kind beyond
what is stated, unless we except the how
lings of drunken negroes nearly every
night during the presence of the COM
mittee here. Whether this was caused
by the low associations of the negroes
during that period, we are not prepared
to soy. But one thing is certain, that
class of our population have returned
10 thclr Wonted exemplary conduct, end
We hope will continue to manifest due
regard for sobriety and pcaceable be-
havior.
In conclusion, we wish to remind the
Governor that this is not the first time
the people of Anderson have been SLAM
dered and misrepresented. Hitherto
these calumniations have beer borne pa
tiently, but forbearance sometimes ceases
to be virtue. We make no threats, and
arc determined to raise orr voice at oil
times for the preservation of peace and
good order. Yet it does seem to us that
Governor Scott and his coadjutors have
sought to SOW the wind of discord in oar
midst, and bestir our people to frenzy
and desperation. Persisting in such
course, they will assuredly reap the whirl-
wind.

The New York Herald says: "Still an
other third party notion has just been
aired in South Carolina, which is de-
scribcd IS cry to the Democrats of that
State to rc-org7nize as a conservative
Republican party, so that Che virtue of
Carolina may be introduced into the
Republican ranks and fright away with
the dignity of purity its clements of
weakness and vice All of which sounds
very. pretty. but it is all empty jingle.
The South Carolina Democrats are as
likely to affiliate with the imps,of dark
ness as they are with those other dark
minded imps, the Northern Republican
party, the after birth of the vicious and
hated abolition party of old times.
Therefore, that third party plan may be
considered as blown to the winds."..
