So the Speaker of the House gets 81 900.
Congressman Elliot gets s1O,5O0. Chief Con-
stable Hubbard gets 1886. Ex-Congress-
man Hoge gets $1,000. Members of the
Legislature get from $500 to $4S Unknown
persons, presumed to be men of straw, receive
sums ranging from s25,545 to $500. What
did these men-the real men-do for the
money? Is Moses, or Hoge, or Elliott, or
Whipper, or Worthington, a member of the
Armed Force? We do not believe word
oft. They have now the opportunity of ex-
planation. Let each man of them come for
ward and show what service, if honest service,
he has rendered. But they can't do it. They
will await in trembling the vigorous prosecu-
ton which will prove, by the records, who
was the briber and who were the bribed.
In Columbia it is universally believed that
nearly all the EARNED Force" expenditures
was consumed in bribery. And, with the
names and figures before them, it is hard to
see how any sensible person can reach diff.
ferent conclusion. Charleston Ne,us.

THAT MYTHICAL EARNED FORCE"

In February, 1859, the General Assembly
passed resolution authorizing the Governor
to arm and equip company of one hundred
men for the defense of the State. Under this
resolution body of constabulary was organ
lied, and large sum of money was expended.
There being no further use for the EARNED
force,'' if there ever was any, it was supposed
to be disbanded. 1t appears, however, that
since the first of November last $82,423.3O
have been drawn from the State Treasury on
account of this very armed force this huge
disbursement being made, as Justice Willard
of the Supreme Court says, Gin year which
no necessity for resort on the part of the
State to military force is known to have ex-
listed, and when the resources Of the State are
inadequate to meet the current expenses of
the government, or to provide for a proper
administration of justice"
For our own part, we do not believe that
the armed force is in existence. We believe
that the money was corruptly used by Gov.
Scott in staving off the impeachment resolu-
tions last winter. The list Of persons who re-
ceived the money tells the tale only too

thenation. It cost more to collect S238,0
in Mississippi than it did to collect S627 900
in West Virginia. Of course these revenue
collectors think they have the best civil SER
vice system in the world, and are all for Gen.
Grant, in order that it may be continued.
"A gentleman on from the North re-
ports to us that as Mr.. Hester, the well-known
United States detective, was returning from
Canada, having in charge DR.. Bratton, of
whom so much has been written and said, a
little episode occurred which has not been
mentioned heretofore. It seems, from the re-
port, that when the couple had reached Aqua
Creek, Bratton lodged the detective, and elu-
ded him in the general rush and turmoil con.
sequent on the transfer of passengers 70
find him at the time proved impossible, and
Mr.. Hester, thereupon, concluded to wait
upon the wharf all night, first making hasty
trip through the train to satisfy himself that
Bratton was n5t on board. Morning coming
on, Hester went beneath the wharf and there
found his man. Such is the report as given

--- - The too profuse use of the title of "Col'
onel" elicits these pertinent remarks from the
Philadelphia Post "To call man Colonel
is to convey the idea that he is of a mild,
meek and benevolent disposition. It is also
an evidence that he never was a soldier. For
instance, we may recall some of the Colonels
of Philadelphia. There is Colonel Forney,
Colonel Mcclure, Colonel McMichael, Colo

Colonel Phillips, Colonel Hicken, Colonel
Green and Colonel Fritz. Ofwhat regiment

DEPREDATIONs.

BY recent Act of Congress, a
copy of which is in my possession,
a more efficient mode has been
provided for the collection Of
claims against the Government for
depredations committed by the
Indians.
Having superior facilities for
the prosecution of such claims,
and much actual experience in the
business, I can, with some conf
dence, say to my fellOw-citizens
who have suffered loss of property
by these lawless tribes, that where
the proof is ample, there is no
good reasonwhy each claim should
not be paid. Within a very short
time the rules and regulations to
be prescribed by the Secretary of
the Department named in the Act
of Congress referred to, will reach
me, when / shall be ready to prose-
cute any claim that may be placed
in my hands for that purpose.

EDITOR SENTINEL:-Ihave been
in this camp about three weeks.
1t is very pleasantly situated on
the western slope of a range of
mountains running north and
south; about forty miles southeast
of and running parallel with the
Colorado river. 1t is truly a Won
derful range of mOuntains-won-
derful for its mineral wealth.
There are three towns, or settle
ments, in this District, and this
one (Serbat) is at present the CEN
tire of attraction. It has popula-
ton, in and around the town, of
about five hundred; there is quite
a number of comfortable adobe
houses built, and good many un-
der construction; there are a few
stores here, but their stocks of
goods are limited; there is also a
very nice store here, which has
just been finished, made of lumber
hauled from Prescott; the goods
which are to adorn this establish
mentt- are now coming into town.
The principal mines in and around
this town are: The Eva, Mollie
Johnson, Benefit, Wild Irish Boy,
Sheba, '63, Cupel, Duplex, ORR
Plata, Champion, New Era, and
many others whose names have
forgotten. Some of these mines
are surprisingly rich in native sill
yer. at some other time I will
give you the dates of location, the
depths worked, and the results of
the assay of all the principal mines
in this neighborhood.
