Trouble Between Germany and England.

LONDON. q
A serious complication hIs arisen be-
tween Germany and England, and Scv-
eral dispatches passed between Bismarck
and Earl Granville. Bismarck address
ed Il note to Count Bcrnstatl, the German
representative in London, informing him
shat the Imperial German government
lesiredto acquire lIeligoland, and empow-
ering them to make propositions to the
British government for the purchase of
the island Earl Granville replied that
England will not part with lieligoland
and that the British government eHnId
entertain no propositions looking t" me
ceSsion of that Island.
The German government. through
Count Bernstati stated tha.t the acqui7i-
ton of IIeligoland was necessary t0r tine
protection of the German coast, rpchm@
is m instance, the facilities for toalln .
and immunity from attack which the
French fleet enjoyed at lieli@olAnd, by
which it was enabled To blockade Ham
bulg and parayHe the German Coast.
lie looked ON Ilcllgoland, on account
of its close proximity, a German terrific
nv, and It's possession by any foreign
power as u standing menace to Germany.
Earl Granville replied that England
was only bound to consider her own IN
terest, and that the wish of German GOV
ernnent to acquire lIeligoland did not
constitute her right to it, a5 the island
never had been under the GcreoAa rule.

1t will be remembered that when Mr..
Richard F. Aver, was elected, who eX-
emplilicd the alacrity Of the carpet-bagger
in getting office, by misrepresenting a
Virginia Congressional District, we ex-
pressed q belief that Il wrong had been
done TO his colored competitor. We had
no doubt then, and have none now, that
the colorcd radical would hay better rep
resented the people there than the carpet
Dagger possibly could. 1t appears that
the defeat of the colored man and brother
was compassed by treacher ously bribing
those who should have been his support
ers. A telegraph despatch says
r. ID. Ruilin. colored, Yesterday recovered
S2l3 of the S313 claimed from Richard Aver,
for stumpng the First Virginia district for
Ayers reelection TO Congress in 1870, last
year. Gen. Howard said he told Aver that
he ought to pay Ruttin, while Aver deposed
that he never agreed to give him more than his
clothes and travelling expenses, and Gen. How
ard advised him not to pay the money.
1t was bad enough to win the services of
this ebony patriot from his colored brother,
to whom he owed natural allegiance. But
to think of the pittul bride by which
1t was effected Aver swears that he
was to have only his clothes and travel
ling expenses. 1t is provoking that the
despatch does not state whether the
clothes were to be the cast off habiliments
of our Montville FRIEND and if so, if they
We're the blood-staincd garments with
which he fit into the war. But how like
the equitable division which radicalism
makes " it'll its deluded pporters-$5OOO
a year and mileage to the carpet-bagger,
and his cast-off clothes to the colored
man and brother! We apprehend that if
the defendant should rise to explain, he
would denounce the verdict rs one rem
dered by a negro jury. How inscrutable
are the ways of Providence! Dicks
chickens came home to roost good deal
sooner than he had expected. And as he
reluctantly counts out that two hundred
and fifteen dollars and costs, let each par
ticular greenback be preacher to ad-
monish that the poisoned cup we prepare
for others is sometimes returned to our
own lips.

We believe that an entire removal of all pro-
tective duties would greatly advance our indus
try. as we should then have the markets of the
world in which to sell our products, thus largely
increasing the labor employed and the profits
of manufacturing. We, moreover, believe that
the enhanced wealth and comfort of our people
consequent upon 4 change of system, would
be evidenced in an increased consumption of
our goods. A reduction in the duties levied
upon the articles used in our manufacture is
demanded by the interests of all capitalists and
laborers engaged in the boot and shoe industry.

INCORPORATION OF TOWNS.

Arizona City has incorporated, and elected town officers. The people Of Tucson and Prescott, or. at least portions of them are anxious to do like. wise, and, also, procure titles from Government for their respective town-sites The MINER has frequently urged these measures Is still in favor of them, and hopes that the following remarks and suggestions from lending citizen, and true friend, Of Prescott, will be acted upon by our citizens
 "lt Is time that something was doing in regard 10 the settlement of the title to the land on which Prescott is located and we are glad to learn that property owners are becoming interested in the matter and hayt been inquiring as to the proper method of procedure. The Howell Code chap. ter 5', provides for the incorporation of villages which chapter was amended by the Legislature of 1857, and was still further amended by the Inst Legislature, so that lt now conforms to the set of Congress donating lands to towns located on the public domain.
 "Under these acts the citizens Of Tucson have recently taken action, with the double object in view of gaining all the advantages of a responsi. ble municipal government, and getting possession of the lands granted by Congress-the sale of which will furnish fund for the improvement of the town.
 "Let us not be behind the other towns in taking steps to secure the privileges within our reach, and at the sans time place the town property iu such shape that each settler get perfect title 10 hts town lots.
 Application has been made for q certified copy oi the act passed by the last Legislature, which Will soon be received. In the meantime, let those most Interested in town property consider the question, 90 siIaS they may be able to net when the documents arrive, without further delay"

IMMENSE YIELD OF THE ORE
Scores of Men Coming, in Stages, Bug

Our rich Territory has, at last, gained a hearing from the wealthy men of the Pacific Coast. The 5000 pounds of average ore, from the discovery location of the Tiger lode, Bradshaw district, recently taken to San Francisco, by E J.

 D. M. Stewart, of Gold Hill, Neya Ia, who had some of the ore above alluded to tested in San Francisco, under his own eyes and di- rection, and who arrived here by last stage, confirms all Mir.

 KILLED IN ACTION.
 It is a sad duty for a writer to have to re- cord the death of any soldier or citizen at the hands of Indians but, particularly painful is it for an intimate friend and acquaintance of the deceased to chronicle the death of our brayest and best Lieutenant Cushing, w. H. Simpson, and a soldier whose name have been unable to learn, were killed in an en- gagement with Cachice, on Friday The first of these was an officer of we'll known merit brave, active and exemplary the second, was man whom every man esteemed for gener- osity and intelligence. The command, con sisting of thirty men, encountered the band headed by Cachise, in the Whetstone monn- tains. At the first fire, the three above men tioned were killed and five were wounded. The Indian force was upward of 900; and as the Cachise Indians lack neither arms, anu milton nor discipline, it will be seen how un- equal was the contest.
