THE CHA CATTLE THIEVES. - Last week we gave lengthy corre- spondence from the Gila, which led the reader to believe the chief-Ven- tura Martinez-was killed or surely badly wounded. We are now in- formed that he escaped. A resident of Sonora advises us that the Esca- lante brothers were seen before day break, on the 7th instant, at Tubac, on their return to Sonora, and that they were ill an easy spring carriage, supposed to have been purchased out of the proceeds of sales of stolen cat tie. The same gentleman informs us that the parties referred to in our Gila letter, started in Sonora at Mazda lena, about August 1; that they be- gan stealing from the start; that they passed by the Portrero; that the Pre- feet there named party of merchants and others to pursue and arrest the thieves, but no one dared undertake the job, for at that time they num- bered fourteen we'll armed, desperate men. We also hear that the citizens of Magdalena would rejoice in the death of Ventura Martinez-no mat ter by what means or by whom his death were caused. From what we learn one way and another, his life will be taken ere long if he don't re- form or seek other fields to display his talents.

ENCOURAGING.-Old settlers in Kansas note the increase of rain on the western border of that State. MT. s. M. Hays, who has lived at Council Grove twenty-seven years, informs The Lawrence Journal that when he came to that place, and for several years after, the Neosho river was often dry for eighteen months at time, and grass hardly grew. When the land sales were made in 1854, he bought his farm on Hays bottom, Chase county, simply because more grass grew there than in any other part of the county, Now, Chase county is covered with corn and wheat fields and grass for stock everywhere.

THE Central Pacific Railway Con-

THE Central Pacific Railway Con- pany substantially has the railway system of California and much of the territory bordering on the Pacific un- der its control. More than two years ago, we stated in the public prints a belief that the company would stop at nothing short of such @ success, and also of possessing line actually spanning the continent, as well as of the China Steamship line. The ar ticle received considerable notice and some sneering ones. Late Eastern advices say that 8 community of in- terests with the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company have been effected, which will quite likely be found to mean control of it's large and grow ing business by the Central Company, as the latter has not lately been known to take less than a managing interest in any enterprise. There is no reason to believe that it contemplates any connection with either the Texas or Northern Pacific. The sum of its am- bitions is doubtless confined to the intervening expanse of the country, in which it can hardly have an inter esting competitor.

Arizona Internal Revenue.

The pubic Will soon have full h.
 formation of the internal revenue af-
 fairs of Arizona. In addition to what
 is said in another column by Assessor
 Bigelow, we will add that nearly all
 the assessments for the fiscal year end
 ing June 30, 1868, were not Ill the Col
 lector's hands until after that date,
 therefore the small showing on collec-
 tions up to that date. This fact is
 true every year, as any one at all
 posted on assessments and collections
 we'll knows-both in local as we'll as
 in national revenues. To show this
 more clearly, we here give few au-
 thentic figures, viz:
 The assessments of internal revenue in Arizona for the year ending June 30, 1868, were $22,OO1 61, and collec- tions in the same period were $4,- S37 53; assessments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, were $16,6 ,661 O3, and collections for the same period were $16,561 12. Now let the reader observe that the collections paid over by the Collector for the fiscal year last named, were only $1O0 less than the assessments for the same period; yet as a matter of fact, the Collector had not up to June 30, re- ceived for collection the assessments of that year, showing that the appa- rent deficiency at the close of the fiscal year 1868, was-minus legal abate- ments-made up and reported before he received the annual assessment list for the year 1889.
 There is no need for anyone who doubts the correctness of Assessor Bigelow or Collector Bashford's record in this business to be misled, for the detailed reports of the Treasury De- partment will prove them both eff cient and honorable officers, and that all collections were as promptly paid to the Treasurer as the obvious circum- stances would permit. Why the pro- portionate cost of assessing and col lecting is so large in Arizona, can be easily explained to the satisfaction of all reasonable men.
 Now a remark or two on the appa- rent great cost of assessing and col lecting internal revenue as shown by Arizona experience. As matter of fact 1t costs every town, city and county government from three to ten times as much per dollar to assess and collect its revenues as it does the United States, which the exact figures will show. For the fiscal years run ming from June 30, 1863, to June, 30, AO'o, ohN o'Oi eSO Cool pCI UOlIdI lOI assessing and collecting the internal revenue of the United States, was only threo cents and sir miUs.
 After all the assessing and adjust ing of the lists by the Board of Equal lzation had been completed, the Board of Supervisors of Pima county ordered that the collector should have eight per cent for collections. The delin- Iuent taxes cost much more. If any one prefers to argue that it would have been better not to have enforced the revenue laws in Arizona, we shall not dispute with him, but only say that the Departments have no right to but partly execute law given them in special charge.

 seSsOr, makes Statement, show.
 ing the Treasury Figures ErrO. I neOus.
 PRESCOTT "A. T.), Sept. 5, 1871.
 In THE CITIZEN of August 26, you publish nearly a column under the head of ' Territorial Penitentiaries, '' including therein letter from Wm. A. Richardson, Acting Secretary oi the Treasury, which does not agree with the report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in regard to the amount collected during the years mentioned. The law of Congress of January P, 1867, set apart from June 30, 1865, to June 30, 1868, the net proceeds of internal revenue collected in the Territories for building peniten- tiaries, and in some Territories a sur plus accumulated of size sufficient to build several such public buildings, but in Arizona and Dakota no Internal Revenue taxes were collected till 1867, and owing to the lack of population and business subject to taxation no fund was formed sufficient for the pur- pose stated. The letter of Secretary Richardson however makes the case appear worse than it really is, and he evidently made triting mistake. He stated that the amount collected up to June 30, 1888, in Arizona, was $4,- S37 53, and the expenses of assessing and collecting same was $17,S53 39 i; whereas, the report of Commissioner Delano to the Secretary of the Treas ury, dated October 31, 1870, shows, in Table D, page 296, that the amount collected to June 30, 1868, was $l6,- 565 9S-making an evident error on Secretary Richardson's part of Ill., FPS 45-stiIl, according to his state ment of expenses, leaving Arizona $1,2S7 Al short of any met pro- ceeds" for the Fenitentiary Fund.
 The books and revenue papers in the Assessors office are by law open to in spection by any person-and my books show that the assessments made in the District of Arizona, up to June 30, 1868, amounted to $25,412 10, for which 1 hold Collector Bashford's receipts, du- plicates of which were sent to the Sec retary of Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington, where that amount stands charged to the Collector. According to the sched- ules of taxes abated and refunded, sent from Washington and now on file in my office, $2,34S 91 was credited and allowed to the Collector-that amount having been shown by proper certificates to have been uncollectible or enormously assessed-some of the parties liable for taxes having ab- seconded, others having no property from which the tax could be realized, and others having died insolvent with out payment-the balance the Collec- tor is held responsible for to the Treas ury Department, under $60, 900 bonds.
 The law of Congress says the net proceeds tor the gears ending June 30, 1868, be and are set aside for the referred to. If that means, as presume it must, that all that was collected of the amounts assessed prior to July 1, 1868, is to be so appropri- ated, 1 should, with the information now at hand, conceive that the case should stand thus: assessed in District of Arizona up to June 30, 1o6S. .$25, ,4l2 10 Abated as uncollectible. 2,34S 91
