EDITOR CITIZEN The prospecting
party which left here on the 10th, af-
ter proceeding to the four peaks, were
compelled to return, as their party was
considered by Mr. WooIsey, the leader,
to be too small to proceed farther in
safety. This is by no means an aban-
donment of the prospect, but post
ponement on account Of the failure Of
Caleb Jackson's party to join that of
Woolsey at Mcdowell as per agree
ment. Woolsey, as well as the entire
party, is sanguine that rich diggings
will be found if party strong enough
to make a thorough prospect can be
formed.
Building is already commenced on
the town site. Capt. Hancocks new
store is fast approaching completion,
and sundry other buildings are soon to
be commenced.
P. R. Brady spoke to the citizens of
Phenix on Saturday. We failed to
hear him speak of the wants of the
people in this or any other part of the
Territory, his time being entirely oc-
cupied in abusing and falsifying Nc
Cormick, and in telling the people of
Salt river that he did not care damn
for them, as he did not live here.
lNr. Brady will lose, to my know
ledge, several votes that he would
have got, had he had the good
sense to stay at home and keep his
mouth shut.
The only good thing was said by
Mowry, viz: That if the Democratic
party nominated the devil, it was the
duty of all true Democrats to support
him. Whether this was intended as
compliment to P. +. E., or not, I can
not say; but one thing viii say,
that if there was any doubt as to Ne
Cormick carrying this valley, it no
longer exists. c. 4.

EDITOR CITIZEN The political
cauldron continues to boil with una
bated vigor, and discussions of the
merits Of the rival candidates are very
frequent. The Mexican element Of
our place has thoroughly awakened
to the Importance of casting an intel
ligent and discriminating vote, and as
a consequence are very mquisitive on
the point Of, who IS the best man to
represent them i'll the halls o. con
gress? By some method Of reasoning
they have arrived at the sensible con-
clusion, that experience ii Washing
ton is more essential to candidate
than a knowledge Of the Spanish Ian
guage. Assaults on rival, provoked
by the purity Of his linen, does not
seem to influence them. They, on the
contrary, agree that dress and address
are both useful at the capitol Of the
nation.
Your paper is, sought after eagerly
by both Americans and Mexicans, and
the general comment is that it is far
ahead Of the AriaOnGa in the quality of

GRANVILLE H. Oury's disquaEGca-
tons for sheriff are treated of by a
correspondent. Oury has defed the
law and courts by refusing to pay his
taxes. he now wants the people to
elect him to a position in which it
would be his duty to collect the coun-
~ revenues. Is a man who success
fully evades paying his own taxes, a
St 81 one to collect and handle the taxes
of law-abiding citizens? Is it posi-
bic that the tax pagers Of Pima county
viii elect such a man as Curry has
proven himself, to the responsible po-
sition he seeks! VIII property own
ers pay their taxes into the hands of q
man who has set the example Of non
payment?
We believe the voters will emphat-
ically say not on next Tuesday.
A vote for Curry for sheriff, is a vote
in favor Of holding property and re-
fusing to pay taxes thereon.
A vote for Oft for sheriff is vote to
abide by the laws as they stand upon
the Statute books and, as expounded
by the courts; a vote for Curry is 8
vote in opposition to this necessary
condition Of citizenship.

A Falsehood Officially Refuted.

We alluded last week to the brazen
falsehood Of the Brady party that the
Territorial arms had been unfairly
distributed-that the rich and Nc
Cormick's friends had been favored
above the Oury, Mowry and Brady
ring. Adjutant General Phelps has
since kindly furnished US with trans
cript of his record in the matter, and
it shows G. II. Curry to have received
six; Isaac Goldberg, nine; Goldberg
and Co., six; Thomas NJ. Yerkes,
eleven; D. A. Bennett, one; j. ". Swil-
ling, ten; A. J. Ridge, two; F. NJ.
Hodges, two; Sylvester Mowry, one !;
L. B. Wooster, two; Sc, Sc. But
for lack Of sorts" we would pub
lish the entire list, which shows that
out of 224 arms and a corresponding
amount of ammunition, the Brady
men, In proportion to numbers, have
had more than their share. We chal-
lenge an investigation of the list in
our office, or the record of General
Phelps.
The truth is, tnat when arms were
sought by individuals the questions Of
their wealth or poverty, their prefer
ence for or against Brady, Were never
thought of or considered and, further,
during the time when the arms were
mainly distributed, there was not
stronger advocate of Mccormick re-
electiOls IN Arizona, than P. r. Brady.
The Adjutant General is responsible
for the return OF the arms and the on
ly condition upon which they were
given out was that Of she getter's re-
spOnsibility, or some one for him.
This condition being satisfactory, no
applicant was ever refused an arm
upon application, unless it were at a
time when there were none IN the ar
mory.

ly to the people of Pima county.
There are two candidates in the field
for sheriff, asking for the votes of the
people.
IHr. 81. OFT, nominated as the Peo-
ple's candidate, and Granville ii.
Curry, who runs as the nominee of a
clique of "3 times g." styling them
selves the Democracy not only Of Pi-
ma county, but of the whole Terrific
ry, as well.
Let us take into consideration the
nomination for sheriff Of this immortal
nine, who invited Sylvester Mowry
down here from the San Francisco
Pacific Club rooms to run for Dele
gate, and afterwards repudiated him.
(By the way, Mowry, we are afraid
that you were contaminated by your
association, though it might be said
that it is hard to spoil rotten egg
Granville FL. Ouryl What has he
done that we should give him our
votes? and what has he left undone,
that we should withhold our support?
1st. Failing to beat Mccormick in
1868, he was the prime mover in the
QUO ecGrantO decision as rendered by
Judge Backus, by which, as far as in
him and his coadjutors lay, the Terri
tory was disorganized.
I'd. He was the adviser of Secreta-
ry Cartier, Acting Governor 1859,
and by his influence no proclamation
was issued calling an elee1On in that
year for county officers, and the cleo
ton was allowed to so by default.
Now as to what has not been done,
that as q good citizen he should have
been prompt to perform.
In 1868, while the quO scarrontO case
was pending, he refused to pay his
taxes on the ground that no public Of
fcers had been elected according to
law. He repeated the same thing in
1869, as the qa50 aca57antO decision had
not then been reversed; but when that
decision was pronounced not well con-
sidered and the laws passed by the
various Legislatures confirmed by the
highest tribunal, did this citizen Curry
bow to that decision and pay up his
of taxes? No, sirs, not a
bit Of it. The execution against him
for taxes has been returned (unsatis-
fed, and G. II. Oury leads the delin-
quent tax-list to-day, thereby increa-
sing your burdens and mine and those
of every man who honestly pays his
taxes. Therefore, we will here leave
him, believing that we have stated
that cannot be successfully re-
futed, to influence every man that will
think and reason a moment, that
Granville II. Oury is not entitled to
his support. So look out, Grant, the
wave is coming that will roll over
and carry you down to oblivion, for
on next Tuesday, the people of Pima
county will put the seal Of popular
condemnation upon you, that all may
know how they view your acts, and
those of your clique, for the last two
years at least.
Ol the other hand, Mr.. OFT becomes
8 candidate for your suffrages, and
what are his claims?
He is man of excellent business
ability, integrity, and honesty, and
that for the number Of years he has
resided in the Territory, has never
evaded his responsibilities as ii citi-
zen, and has never attempted to bring
and confusion upon US as a
people.
Fellow citizens Of Pima county, look
first upon the picture Of G. H. Oury,
and then upon that Of H. OFT, and

History by Afidayits.


The bill prepared by the House
| RecOnsl ruction Committee for the
removal of political disabilities is
q singular piece of work, and, If
! it were adopted and accepted by
the persons for whose benefit it
graciousiy affects to be intended,
would give us some interesting
| history, if it did nothing else. 1t
provides that any person disfran-
!chised by the Fourteenth Amend
ment, unless he shall have served
iii the Federal Congress, army or
navy, IN. v have his disabilities re-
Ismoved on certain specified condi-
tions One of these is that he shall
petition the court for a restoration
Iof his lost rights, and back it with
an affidavit 'sgiving a particular
description Of the acts done, and
the Offices held by him in behalf
of fhe Confederate Government. !"
1t would be seen at a glance
that these affidavits would en-
brace the whole Southern history
of the war, and embody a good
many stacts DONE that the affida-
Wit petitioners would, we fear. not
be ashamed of. Take that militia
ry wag, Magruder, for instances.
His affidavit would begin. with the
reasonable flogging he gave Gen.
Butlerat a place called Big Bethel
Bragg's affidavit would narrate
his disloyal refusal to ruin away
from Fort Fisher when the same
Massachusetts warrior blew up his
powder boat in front of the work
and watched to see its effect.
Beauregard would give Ms all the
details of the strategic process by
which he ssbottled' the Lowell
hero at Bermuda Hundreds. These
are only few points that would
be brought in.
Lees affidavit would embrace a
particular description" of all the
s.acts done" by him in the Virgin
la campaigns-the number of men
he had, the battles he fought, the
victories he won. the defeats he
suffered, the number of men he
lost, and the prisoners he captur-
ed. Johnston's sworn narrative
would show US the Southern side
of that Interesting Atlanta cam
paign; and the entire avalanche
of affidavits from more than a
thousand rebel officers would give
rs the inside history of many
things that are now obscure. In
the end, we should have more his
tory than we would know what TO
do with, and some that we would
wish we had not-and a good deal
that the Chairman of the House
Reconstruction Committee would
probably want to suppress.
