Marion, the Truthful, Again.

During the late canvass, it was sta
ted by the opposition to Gov McCor-
mick, on the stump and in private, and
reaffirmed by The Arizona Miner, that
Congress had made no appropriation
for the survey Of the public lands; ];
that the only appropriation that had
been made was for the salary of the
Surveyor General, his clerks and the
contingent expenses of his Office. Of
course, every citizen who read the
papers, knew these charges were false ;
and no one knew the untruth of these
statements better than The Miner, yet
he readily lent himself to the Islander.
The statutes at large Of the &C Con-
gress Of the United States are now at
hand, and we quote the several appro-
priations as follows, for Surveying the
Public Land, page 3O4, for IS69-7O :
"For surveying the public lands in
Arizona, at rate not exceeding fif-
teen dollars per Gneal mile for stand
ard lines twelve dollars for township;
and ten dollars for section lines ten
thousand dollars"
In addition to this, the following
appropriation will be found in the
same statute, page 313:
For compensation of the Surveyor
General of the Territory of Arizona,
three thousand dollars for clerks in
his Office, three thousand dollars; and
for rent of Office, fuel, books, statione-
ry, and other incidental expenses, two
thousand dollars"
We once heard of father who said
he had whipped his son more for ly-
ing than all his other transgressions
and still he believed he was the "big-
gest liar in the world" Marion, are
you that hopeful son ?

to prepare them for smelling. They
occur in the form of carbonates and
sulphruets, the latter generally doarse-
crystalline. The gangue is principal
ly fiuorspar with little calespar and
some brown hydrated oxyde of iron
near the top of the veins. The con-
tents of silver in the ore shipped to San
Francisco during the last year have
averaged 35 ozs. per ton. The ore is
eagerly bought by the smelling works
on account of its high per centage of
lead go per cent and over) and the
prevailing gangue of fiuorspar, which
fit them well for smelling with the
high-grade silver ores from Nevada
in order to extract their silver. Over
400 tons have been shipped from the
Castle Dome mine during the last year.
1t has lately passed into the hands
of the energetic firm of
HOOPER, WHITING &CO,
Of New York, San Francisco and Ar
izona City. These gentleman now
employ eight men in taking out ore
and more will be put to work as soon
as the mine is further opened.
Capt. Polhemus of Arizona City re-
Gently bought mine from Mr.. Spann
in the same district and the work per-
formed on it has already disclosed
large body of carbonate and galena.
AS soon as the vein is opened so as
to permit the introduction of more la
Dor, this mine will add largely to the
shipments from the district. With
the exception of the
EUREKA DISTRICT
above, which carries similar but less
concentrated ores, no mining district
in Arizona is more favorably located
for immediate working. Transporta-
ton from here to San Francisco is
trifing, as only IS miles of land trans
portation are necessary to deposit the
ores at the river bank, from where
they are taken to San Francisco at $15
per ton. The erection of smelling
works on the river is contemplated as
soon as the mines are sufficiently open
ed in the district to insure q steady
supply of ore. Fuel is abundent for
years.

TERROR AND ANARCHY.

The Democrat still insists that some
fully inspired and doubly-distilled patriot
shall at once say to the registrars and to
the Governor, that the Democracy do not
intend to stand idly by and see reign Of
terror and anarchy inaugurated in this
community. Very likely they would not
be idle on such an occasion, for they
would proably be pushing the thing ahead
and derive a considerable amount of an
archy and much more Of the terror of the
occasion, if such state of things should
come to pass; but as the Republicans are
running the machine now, possibly the
Democrats will have to stand idly by and
see peace and order maintained, even if
it has to be done at their expense.
An oriental despot keeps bugler who
goes out every morning and declares that
the sun may arise. The Democrats might
hire this chap, for he would be as useful
with his bugle in footing to the Governor
about anarchy and terror as he is in toot-
ing to the sun about getting up.

COMMERCIAL MICAWBER.

Chicago is quarreling with herself be-
cause st. Louis is about to win the trade
of New Mexico by means Of the. Santa
Fe railroad Our Board Of Trade does
not make any trouble on this account,
although the trade Of Santa Fe legitim-
ately belongs to New Orleans. St. Louis
has just built q substantial line of steam
boats for the Red river trade, and still We
make no quarrel. Arkansas river is virtu-
ally tributary to St. Louis, when it be-
longs to us. And still we are peaceful
and happy. Texas guarantees our round
bottomed steamships, and instead of flying
into a. rousing passion at the trick, we
content ourselves with laughing at the
unfortunate merchants who have come to
our shops to trade. Verify, if the verita-
BILE Micawber ever had an organized COM
mercial existence, New Orleans inherited
his mantel when he died.

MORE TREACHERY.

1t is to be hoped that the nomination of
Mr.. Lewis to be Administrator Of Police
will not provoke another convention of
the Democratic party to denounce the
action of the Republicans in not nomina-
ting colored men to Office. Mr.. Lewis is
very intelligent gentleman, moral in his
daily life, above reproach in his associa-
tons, and capable Of attending to the
interests of the city. He was selected
over very popular and estimable gentle
man, by a convention which fully repre-
sents the Republican sentiment Of the
city; and his record as reliable man
challenges comparison from any quarter
But all this is as nothing to the unsatis-
fed and unterrifed Democrats, for their
oracles will still insist that they are 'the
best friends" Of the colored people, and
are better entitled to the colored vote
than colored men themselves. If Mr..
Diamond wants to be an Administrator of
Police he will have to hire private squad
of his own.

thsy keep their temper ana plant ssrshu,a.
In few years they hope to save all the
money they now spend for ordinary sugar.
In other matters they are equally provi-
dent. III little hay patch can be found
on the farm, they cut down every blade
of grass and sell or feed it to the cattle in
winter. We allow great fields of grass to
fall under our feet in the fall, and in
the winter we send to Wisconsin to buy
some Of the hay her people cut off
the boys and in the low lands. The West
raises corn and pays thirty dollars per
month for laborers to gather it. We claim
to have better land and more profitable
crop and yet it is considered piece of
radical nonsense if we insist that freedmen
shall not be driven out by coolies because
the coolie offers to slave it for ten dollars
per month. We are, therefore, open to
information on these two subjects !: that
cotton is not the only salvation of the
South, and that the State will not be
ruined if labor is paid for at the rate of
a dollar day. Let us then learn to be
both economical and liberal.

ECONOMY AND LIBERkLITY,

The South may learn lesson from the
West, but she has refused to be taught SO
often, that it is like hoping against hope
to suppose that she will. In 1866 hops
sold for sixty cents pound, and Wis
consin went into the business with vigor
something like that which afiiicts US on
the subject of growing cotton. AL the
farmers bought and planted the new vine,
and set up their poles for big crop and a
handsome profit. In 1867 and 1868 hops
fell to twelve cents, and some parcels were
sold as low as five cents. The farmers
were badly hurt, but they did not sur
render. They cut up the hop vines and
put in wheat, corn, barley and pota-
toes. Now they are comfortable in
earning living interest and good
wages. The lesson we might learn is
this, that instead of paying Wisconsin one
dollar per bushel for corn, if we raised
our own grain and saved our money at
home, it would be doing in Louisiana
what is being done year after year in Wis
consin. Farmers in the Northwest do not
swear at US because they have to buy
sugar and molasses in New Orleans, but

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The money market is becoming per-
ceptibly easier with the daily arrival Of
new cotton. The demand upon the banks
for accommodation continues strong, but
street rates are becoming more favorable
to borrowers. The stringency of the
money market, for good many weeks
past has been remarkable, and horrible
rates have been paid by really sound con-
Germs for temporary accommodations. It
is to be hoped that the tide is beginning
to ebb, and that business men will be
able to breathe more comfortably while
contemplating maturing obligations
Parties having ready money at command
have made rich harvest during the dull
season, and New Orleans may be con-
graduated for having SO few real failures
to report since the old crop of cotton was
shipped.
A decidedly good feeling is manifested
in financial circles relative to city securi-
ties. Holders seem satisfied with the
prospect opened by the nominations for
the city government, and hold on for
better prices. Leaving politics aside, as
in this article we are bound to do, there
can be no doubt as to the efficiency of the
present municipal administration, and the
impression prevails among business men
that the finances of tn e city are now, and
are likely to be, safe in its care. At the
board 72a was bid for new city seven per
cent bonds, but no offers to sell were
made. A small lot Of seven-thirty certi-

JUDICIAL ECCENTRICITY.

Judge Cooley is at his old tricks again.
1t seems to be impossible for that eminent
jurist to remain quiet. His latest exploit
is the release of Pierre Berth, whom Gov
ernor Warmoth and Recorders Staes and
Houghton have recently attempted to re-
strain, in order that people might be
secure in their persons and effects. His
reasons for turning this man loose upon
the community are entirely without weight
or application, and are unsatisfactory
to the public. The Bulletin rates
the Judge soundly for his want OF
sense, and the Times follows on
the same side in terms of equal severity.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-09-24

From th Journals Vol pseeixe
Mat Judge Cooley has either forgotten
the law bearing upon the case recently
before him, or he his willfully ignored it.
Because our Recorder, in an excess OF
judicial zeal, fixed the amount Of Bertin's
bonds too high, Judge Cooley decides he
shall go free of punishment, without even
a trial Of the charges preferred against
him. Because another Recorder did not
offer him the option of giving bail, but
committed him to prison, Judge Cooley
permits him to 60 free, without any bail.
If any of our citizens are robbed tonight,
they may lay the blame at the door OF
the Judge of the Sixth District Court,
who manifests tender solicitude for all
the rascals who apply to his most merci-
full tribunal.
There can be but little encouragement
for policemen or Recorders to perform
their duties while Judge Cooley stands at
the prison door ready to release criminals
as fast as they are sent in.
A correspondent of the Times very nat
urally wants to know whether Judge
Cooley ever read article 1923 Of the Code
Of Practice, which is as follows:
Whenever it shall appear Ito him 1.-THE
Judgc) that there exists sufficient legal
ground for the detention of the prisoner, on
account Of any offense with which he may
be charged, although the order Of imprisOn-
ment may have been rendered in an lrregu-
lar and unauthorized manner, or have been
executed by a person not duly authorized
for the purpose, the Judge shall render
new order of arrest, in regular form, d.
rected to the proper officer, or admit the
party to bail, if the nature of the Offense al
lows it.
This is the law of the State, unless
Judge Cooley repealed it when he was a
member of the Constitutional Convention
of 1868, of which we can find no record
on the minutes. He may have intended
to do SO, possibly, but it is not fair in time
to keep the public in ignorance. If he ac-
tually repealed this section, he ought to
send us copy Of the repeating act for the
information Of his pets, the criminals and
as guide to Recorders Staes and Hough-
ton.

JURY TRIAL IN TENNESSEE.

Andrew Johnson is about to be i'm
peached by the Democracy of Tennessee.
He says the late convention of the party in
that State made o mistake in reasserting
the old doctrine of States rights, and
that the patriotic feeling Of the people
will not indorse the sentiment. For this
offense he is now being impeached before
the country again, and the trial is set for
hearing this fall before the people of Ten
nessee. We have but little sympathy with
Andy, in his tumultuous politics generally,
but on this particular indictment We can
safely offer him our earnest solicitude that
the jury will have sense enough to clear
him without leaving their seats.

our corporations may avail themselves of
the opportunity thus presented to secure
refunds of large amount paid as tax on
dividends since January 1, in case Judge
Strong's opinion should be sustained. If

collected since January l, on dividends of

be paid back. Under the regulations Of

tons to refund may be at once filed, and
whatever may be the ruling of Commits

the Supreme Court declares Judge Strong
right, stockholders all over the country
will have reason to rejoice.
