Properly Arrested.

On or about the Sd instant, while @ old Camp Goodwin, a teamster named Pedro Rivera shot and killed peacea- ble and well-disposed Apache Indian, who had obtained privilege to come to Tucson with MT. J. M. Ainsa, now freighting between here and Camp Apache. As we get the particulars from MT. Ainsa, the killing was en- tirely unprovoked, and at the time the deed was committed he was anxious to have Rivera taken into custody by the Sergeant in command of the es- cort, but this seemed impracticable under the circumstances so MT. Ainsa allayed the fears of the killer and he came on to the Cienega = some 20 miles eastward from Tucson. There the train was detained, and MT. A1nsa came to Tucson, entered a complaint, and an officer returned with him, ar rested Rivera and brought him to town where he is now lodged in prison.
 If the facts are as represented, then we have no hesitanoy in saying that the prisoner ought to suffer the full penalty of the law for murder. Peaceable, we'll behaved Indians have as much right to the protection of the law as any other class of persons, and we know that this is the sentiment of the people generally throughout the Territory
 Since writing the above, we are ad- vised that Rivera was examined be- fore Justice Osborn and held to an- swer to the Grand Jury for the crime; also that special Grand Jury has been summoned to further examine the case.

WE are positively advised that 8 number of prospectors who were out with Gov. Stafford in the Pinal Moun- tains, returned there and found very rich silver mines; that so palpable is the fact that W. Richard & Co.,, of Sanford, offer credit to any extent to the discoverers for supplies.

PENETENTIARY CONVICTS.
Their Distribution as LabOrers, Etc

IbeIr DtSIrlDutlOh AS LdDOEeESs 11aS'
The long mooted and much talked Of
problem, as to whether the State Peniten-
tiary can be made self-sustaining without
Legislative aid is, it appears, under the
present management and inspectors, about
being brought to a satisfactory solution.
Thee has been a marked change IN the
Penitentiary and the management OF the
convicIs under the new regime during the
last twelve months, and the impression
generally obtains that this change is for
the better 1t is evident that none of the
convicts are to be kept enclosed in profit
less idleness, a dead expense to the State.
The system of letting them out 10y contract
TO various companies and corporations, and
on public works, utilizes theirlabor, makes
them sustaining, and more healthful and
better disciplined every way. Since the
system was adopted the convicts have done
vast amount of useful labor. Many of
them are now doing Sd, ard are distributed
by contract to various responsible compa-
MES. There are ahundred and two of these
convicts at the Sewanee mines; eighty at the
Battle Greek mines, with an average
of sixty of them employed on the
| Capitol grounds. Yesterday the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad contracted for
forty convicts for the balance of the year,
and put them to general work on the road.
This contract, We understand, is to be ex-
tended to hundred. as the business and
necessities Of the road may require. These
are regular contracts, and are made at fair
wages. We have been informed, though
we d. not state it authoriiatively, that the
| outside labor CT the convicts contracted
for, bring in almost enough to support The
institution, to say nothing of the proceeds
of the labors of the several hundred hands
steadily working on implements, cedar
ware, etc, inside the walls, and the forty
or fifty who do floating work on the wharf,
for the county and the corporation, etc.
The management are determined to keep
them ali employed at something useful,
and something that will pay, at least pay
| expenses. 1t is the intention soon to put
a number of them to manufacturing cafs,
aud upon other mechanical work That
the penitentiary will be made, judging
from present indications, self sustaining,
if not ultimately source of revenue, may
be set down as among facts not the least
problematical.

COLUMBIA, March S.-IntellIgence from
York county states that body of men
numbering fifty or sixty, entered the
town of Yorkville few days ago. Pro-
ceeding to Ross Hotel where the office of
E. NJ. Rose, County Treasurer is located,
they broke open the front door of the
building with q battering ram and stated
that they came after Rose, the Treasurer,
who luckily escaped. They demolished
the papers and records and committed
other deprsdations, then mounted and re.
paired to the residence of Thos. Wright,
colored, one ofssthe Yorkville Commission
ers, who had also escaped.
A day OF two after, a party disguised in
black, came at midnight to the residence
of a negro named Anderson Brown, four
miles north of Yorkville and ordered him
to follow them. A short time afterwards
his wife heard shots fired. The next
morning Browns murdered body was
found about 200 yards from the house,
with bullet hole through the forehead,
a ball through the bowels, and several
small shot through the arms and Shout
ders.
Just previous to the above outrsges
disguised party visited the depot at Rock
Hill, tied the agent and destroyed large
quantity of State arms which they could
not carry off. This party was mounted
and well armed.
A company of the 18th United States
| infantry arrived at Yorkville Monday.
The Financial Situation.
CHARLEsoN, 8. c., March 9-The
Legislature adjourned sine die at II
o'clock last night. The new railroad
! schemes, involving an addition of four
| millions or more to the State debt, were
|! finally defeated, after hard struggle,
and there was no addition of any kind to
| the State debt during the session. This
was mainly due to the firm and persistent
| opposition of Gov Scott TO all measures
| of public extravaganza 1t is estimated
that the taxes for the current year will
be ample to meet the financial needs of
the State Government. The ordinary ap-
preparations have been all largely cut
down.
In the last hours of the session the
Governor vetoed the bill max ng appro
priations for the Legislature expenses, on
the ground that it included fraudulent
item of nearly 500, 1000. TIE veto was
sustained.
The bill to fund ali existing liabilities
of the State in new sterling loan, and
absolutely prohibiting any increase of the
public debt until the said loan is paid,
unless such increase be authorized by 8
direct two-third vote of the people Of
the State, has become a law.
