LETTER FROM ARIZONA CITY.
THE Ii'nes-D!t7culty Of Getting Justice
-Amusenaents- Personal A171rals and
Departure Of Vessels at that Port.

Business point Of view Arizona City
seems rather dull of late; court being
in session at La Paz, and as usual all
or nearly all OF our business men are
compelled to put in an appearance
there either as jurymen or witnesses.
Thus being compelled to go off over
one hundred miles every two or three
months and leave their business is a
great hardship to the denizens of this
burg, especially as there are not
enough citizens in that end of the coun-
ty to form the respective juries. One
of the causes Of so many infractions of
the law here is, that it costs young
fortune to appear against an offender
at the times and places to secure a
conviction. The only good that seems
to be derived from SO great an evil is
that lawsuits are scarce and of course
lawyers, as well. However there
will be a substantial expression of the
wishes of the people in Yuma County,
at the next session Of the Territorial
Legislature, in regard to the removal
Of the county seat to this point. In
dictments for murder were found
against B. d. Jones and Miss loot,
both of the "Casa Bale" for the
death of Chas. Matthews. They left
for La Paz, to-day, in charge Of the
deputy Sheriff on board the steamer
Co dorado.
The descendants of the "Montezu-
mas" here INDUCED themselves in a
Fiesta Garnde" for four or five days,
commencing on the Sth; there was the
usual Bull Fights, Monte, Lotteria
and other games, finally ending up
in the usual rumpus. Three "Cabal-
leros" INDUCED in mutual pistol
practice and all three got mutilated.
Sad to relate, none have died.
There is Mex can Acrobatic troupe
holding forth in j. w. Jones's corral,
to the intense disgust Of the celebra-
ted Billy Goat, who, the other morn
ing, unassisted performed an unpar-
alleled feat upon their own "trapeze.
Hayden's train has arrived. Brad
don's wagons have loaded and left.
Capt. Craigie, Depot Quartermas-
ter has taken a trip into San Diego.
Gen. Dandy is expected to return soon
to take the Or. Mr.. Dept here.
John G.. Capron was here the other
day; and is supposed to have left.
Mr.. Norton, Supt of the Naviga-
ton Co., is in town; also, II. II. Ste
vens.
