"A Tsrribls-state of Affairs.


5TUscON, ARIZONA. Jsh!a 29tb. Via
SANTA F4, FebAI0.L-A terrible state
Of affairs exists throughout Arizona
In the face Of opposits representa-
tions, the Apaches are Increasing
their works of theft and murder
Within two weeks they have can
tured a train, killed one man and
wounded several others between the
towns of Phenix and Wiekenburg.
Another train was attacked between
Camps Mcdowell and Florence. and
they stole eighteen mules and killed
GeeTge Kane, Tully, OdeFa 8lco. a
train was surprised 81 thirty miles
Southeast Of here, the stock stolen
and one man killed. The carriage
on the last down trip between Wick
enburg and Phenix,w was attacked. and
only escaped by amassing the exer-
lions Of the driver and team near
Tubac, Joe King was shot through
the groin, a number of horses taken
and the farmers are fleeing hence for
safety. The friendly Papagoes have
had many horses stolen BY the Apai
ches; sixteen mules were stolen near
Florence, thirty-three nesr Golathv
and one hundred cattle at the same
place, This state of war is similar
in Central and Northern Arizona.
About Prescott the representative
men from all parts of the. Territory
are here attending the legislature.
and several mass meetings have
been held to counsel what is best to
do in this critical period. An order
came to transfer six companies of.
cavalry from Arizona to the undis-
turbed Washington Territory. Ad-
ded to the indian horrors is an apl
parent determination of Mexican and
other outlaws TO plunder, poison and
assassinate the citizens along the
Gila road, from Arizona, one hun
dred and fifty miles eastward. On
December oath, Mexican bandits
massacred Carles Reid, James Lytle
and Thomas Oliver at Mission
Camp, sacked the station, stole six
iine horses, and escaped to Sonora.
They have not yet been captured,
though the Governor has offered one
thousand dollars reward and the cit
izens $500 more. About the DIST
inst, Jon Kilbride died from The eff
feets of poison, believed to have been
administered at the instance of a
Mexican woman; on the 2Oth, sew
eral moremen were poisoned, but sur
Fived, at.Giia Bend. 1t is reasona-
bly, believed to have been the work
OF Thomas w. Jones, acting in con
cert with the Mexican outlaws. Gov.
Stafford promptly offered a reward for
the capture of Jones, and within
tWenty-four hours thereafter he was
Saken within thirty miles of the |
Mexican line, whittier he was irving

TIE publication of the correspond
ence between Secretary Fish and
Minister Thorton, win be highly
gratifying to the country, as mani
Testing the great victory won by
our diplomats. A conference at
Washington is to take place soon,
land the English Commissioners are
now on the way, at which it isl
reasonable to expect that the vexed
questions growing out Of the Alaba-
ma Claims, as well as the points ari-
sing from the Fisheries question viii
be permanently settled. Theprompt,
straightforward character Of the ne
gotiations, on the part Of President
Grant, and his resolute demand that
the Alabama Claims should first be
heard and settled, have brought
about this result, and awakened Eng
land to a sense Of Justice and a
willingness to comply with cur rea-
sonable demands. 8zai

says that two hundred candidates for the As

Important to Money Lenders and

Important to Money Lenders and
Money borrowers. L
A case was lately decided in the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, that
may possibly be of some interest to bankers
and business men generally. The case is sub
stantially this: A business firm borrowing a
sum Of money of bank deposited as collater-
al security therefor an equal amount of ten
forty United States bonds. While the bonds
wore 30 held the bank was robbed, the bonds
in question being included in the booty Sc
cured by the robbers. The firm, being sued
by the bank for the amount Of their loan
claimed that the loss should fall upon the
bank, first because the bank was bound, on
the payment Of the Indebtedness of the firm.
to return to them the securities which had
been deposited by them, and secondly that
the bank had not used due diligence to pro-
tsct itself from robbery, and that not only was
the loan paid and extlngulshed In law and
equity By such negligent loss of the securities
pledged, but that the bank was bound to make
good to the defendants the excess in the value
Of the bounds over and above the amount OF
the loan with accruing interest. On the first
point the court held that when the holder OF
the pledge exercises ordinary care notWitb-
standing which the pledge is stolen, he is in
no manner responsible for the loss, but hv
law can recover the amount Of the loan from
the borrower, upon whom alone the loss OF
the stolen securities fails. Ii, however, the
holder of the securities fails to use the reouis-
tte degree of care, then the law makes him re-
sponsible for the loss and he must suffer the
consequences of his negligence. It being
shown that there had been very great degree
Of earelessness on the part of the officers OF
tss robbed bank in this instance, judgment
was rendered N favor of the defendants for
the difference between the value OF the bonds
dePosited and the amount OF money borrowed.

AN INIoUITY.-We cannot in any
other way characterize the effort be-
ing made by the State Board of
Equalization, to have the Legisla-
ture grant them the power to reduce
the real estate Yalustion $2O0,OOO,-
600, andlKe trust every Senator (the
bill having passed the House., win
critically contest its passage, as an
effort Of a special class to obtain ex.
emption from taxation, at the ex-
pense of the rest of the taxpayers /;
and we trust, further, that the peo-
pie win hold their Senators and Rep
resentatives personally responsible
for the result, If it becomessa law. /
1t is an eHort Of Che city against
the country. s-ev ss9H
We beliye. this assertion. to be sus7
ceptibIe Of demonstration, to every
reasonable mind, and hence present
our reasons
The necessities of the state re-
quire that a certain amount Of rev
enue be raised to meet those neees-
cities. And whether the tax list be
large or small, the rate must be uni
form, and hence all property equally
appraised sin bear only its equable
share Of taxes be the rate high
OF low, which viii depend upon the
tax list. Iflarge, the rate Of taxa,
ton win be lows if low, theTate will
be high. Thus if on a tax list o.
ten hundred million a tax Of one per
cent. viii yield the requisite revenue,
when the tax list is reduced 2e0mh-
lion, or, in other words is reduced to
800 million, it viii require a tax of
II per cent. to raise the same
amount. Hence, if under the propo-
sition of the State Board, the real es-
tate valuation be reduced 200 million
and that reduction be apportioned
equally throughout the State at the
same rate per cent. there is nothing
gained By Q1lgg and hence there is
no object accomplished. 1t there
fore follows that such is not the IN
tent or else We viii have to credit
the State Board (who were chosen
for their confessed ability, with On
-objectless and purposeless PROPOSE
tion, the effect of which would be at
tanned by simple reduction in the
rate oftaxation. Still, it is the only
alternative. Either there was a pus-
pose in desiring and asking the pow
er specified, or there was not; and
as We have demonstrated that there.
could be no object in auniform and
equitable reduction througout the
State, it follows, naturally enough,
that the purpose intended was and is
TO give certain localities the adYan-
tsge OF theproposed reduction, at the
expense Of the rest Of the State
a purpose not creditable to the bo- 4
dy in which it originated. and not
in accordance With. the. object for
which they ..were called together.
The fact that the bill does not re-
quire an equitable apportionme1t Of
the proposed reduction throughout
the State, but leaves thematter with
the Board, gives additionalrsason for
believing that special loc6lities win
enjoy the benefits, at the expense Of
the rest. We hops to see the mea-
sure defeated, or-if- that cannot be
accomplished, at least so amended
that the reduction may be uniform
throughout the State,
