RIGHT AND WRoNc How hard
ii is to do right; how easy to do
wrong! To go to destruction is to
float down the tide. When a young
man is going to the devil, how
many boon companions will lead him
onward, and how pleasant they will
be How few are the warning
voices which will break upon his
ear! When ''Vanity Fair" holds
her session, men and women lay
aside their religion, and under the
delusive idea 81 don't believe its
wrong" they crowd in among the
Jewellers and their Christian light is
hid under bushel. You cannot
touch pitch without getting defled,
nor neither can eggs dance with
stones, or hawks mate with doves
Hard is the path which leads from
darkness into light; but great is the
gain.

THE GROWING CRIME OF THE
AGE

1t has been truthfully said that
"the growing err Of the age" is
thirst for temporal riches; it is not
only the crime of the individual, but
the nation, yea, the nations are wal
lowing in the gilded and sensual rut
of acquisitiveness. And the bitter
ness of the curse it brings in upon
the lips of all people; upon the lips
of those who achieve opulence by
the exercises of superior greed and
cunning, and upon the lips of those
who suffer deprivation therefor
hman selfishness is becoming al
most universal; men in their pas
sionate desire for riches, forget the
noblest attributes of their manhood.
Honor, integrity, truth and con-
science are unhestatingly laid upon
the altar of mammon, and sacrificed
to their acquisitive ambition. They
deny themselves of every worldly
pleasure, they are deaf to every APP
peal of human charity, they harden
their heart and oppose their iron
clad natures to every tender emotion
and feeling of human sympathy, that
their ill-gotten gains may increase
and multiply, and that their posses
sions may not be diminished by re-
lieving the distressed and lowly.-
They forfeit their obligations to God,
and their duties to their fellow men,
while every act and purpose of then
ignoble lives is prompted by some
selfish end.
Poor misguided human brother
what is the bubble you are pursuing
for which you are toiling with sucf
earnestness, and giving your mobiles
talents and brightest days =? VIVA
will it be to you when you in future
years may grasp it in your shrivel'
ed hands and look back ward and be
hold the sacrifices you have made.
and the wrongs of those who have
suffered deprivation ?

THE LAUGH OF WoMAN.-A wo-
man has no natural gift more be-
witching than a sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound of flutes on the water.
1t leaps from her in clear sparkling
rilI and the heart that hears it feels
as if bathed in the cool exhilarating
spring, Have you ever pursued an
unseen fugitive through trees, led
on by fairy laugh, now lost, now
foundf We have, and we are
pursuing that wandering voice
to this day. Sometimes it comes to
us in the midst of care or sorrow or
irksome business, and then we turn
away the evil spirit of mind. How
much we owe that sweet laugh 1t
turns prose to poetry il filings sun
shine to flowers, over the darkness
of the wood in which we are travel
ing it touches with light even our
sleep, which is no more than the
image of death, but is consumed
with dreams that are the shadows of
Immortality.

WHY Is ITO

There is nothing more difficult for
sane man to understand than why
people will commit suicide. The
problem is rendered still more per-
picking by the fact that many sui
cides grow out of causes which are
considered most trivial. Only little
while ago there was that girl who
plunged into watery grave because
she had warts, and the man who hung
himself because his wife had her
hair cut off in spite of his opposition /;
and now within a few days a West
Virginia man goes out into his barn
and becomes his own hangman be-
cause his dinner isn't ready prompt
". As in these cases the victims
must have been infnitesimally en-
dowed with brains and withal so
senselessly sensitive that their lives
would not only be a burden to them
selves but to everybody about them,
it was as well perhaps to count their
taking of themselves off the only
"happy thought" of their lives, and
for their benefit make the distinc-
ton of iustifable suicide.

himself in many localities as Con

Gen. Il. Il. Lee, has been lodged in
Jail in Oxford, Ala, for thirty days.
S. Adams came there to preach and
lecture on the naval fight in Hamp-

had reached the place. He affected
virtuous indignation about "such n

search warrant and found his prop
erty in S. Adams baggage. After
being arrested for simple larceny S.
Adams confessed he had been in the

A WORD TO TIE WISE, Etc.

We have been threatened with
violence if we undertook the ex-
posure Of a certain Official in this
county. That little game has been
tried before, with what result
everybody knows. We hold that
the official character and conduct Of
every man is pablo property, and
that it is the duty ofjournalists to
expose the shortcomings of an
unfaiih full public servant, no mat
ter who it is. We are personally
responsible for everything that
appears in these columns, except
notice be given to the contrary,
and viii try to take care Of ourself
ifattacked: The truth is the truth,
and will prevail, 10 matter if the
universal army Of affidavit men
swear against it.

tainly in bad business, and seem
| to have no recollection of the story
of "Dog Tray"
Capt. BoWell should be elected
to both the House and for county
District Attorney. We want an
officer who has some respect for
the obligations Of his official oath,
and who is not on both sides of a
case at the same time, and who
does not exact "hush" money as
the price Of his silence as a prose-
cutor; and, furthermore, one who
can write an Indictment that will
hold water. We are not blessed,
it is said, with such an officer just
now.
The election Of Geo. Tying is q
foregone conclusion. Everybody
knows him favorabIy, and viii
vote for him
We have not the space to give
more extended review Of candi-
dates, bat we are sanguine in the
hope that every tax payer in the
county will give our worthy fell
low-cftizen-John S. Carr-their
hearty support for the Office Of
County Treasurer. This gentle
man has all the JefersOnian quail
fications for a public trust. Men
are best known by their acts. It
it recorded of Mahomet, that he
said he did rot expect to go to
heaven for anything he had ever
professed, but on account of the
good deeds he had done in his
life. Let the rule be as general
in political matters as in religion.

LETTER FROM J. H. MARI0N.
Office Of the ARIZONA MINER,
Prescott, Oct. 22d, 1872

Friend -MiaOr:-Permit me to
congratulate you upon your MI
raculOus escape from death, at the
hands Of the cOWardly, midnight
assassin who tried TO take from
the Territory one Of its ablest men,
most brilliant writer's and incOr-
ruptible citizens. Well may the
good citizens of Yuma county feel
Joyful when thinking that PrOvi-
dence, who watches over us all,
had an eye to your safety on the
night Of the 18th inst, and saved
you for the great and glorious pur-
poses and reforms you are destined
to achieve in this dark, bloody
and impoverished land.
With great respect, ! am, dear
sir, your friend and admirer,
J. II. MARION,
Ed. Miner.
We are grateful for the kindly
sentiments that abound in the
above letter from our friend of the
Miner; but truth (not to say any
thing of modesty) compels us to
say that the literary excellence
awarded to us, more properly be-
longs to Mr.. Marion, which we,
without hesitation, mental, or any
other kind Of reservation, give to
him now and here. We are not,
unmindful Of the fact that for
years past John III. Marion has
labored, as few men have, to anne
liorate the condition of the people
with whom his lot has been cast.
All honor to the faithful servant.

ANOTHER PAGE FROM TEE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTY
OFFICIALS.

What does the people think Of
a person, protesting to be an attOr-
ney, who collects a claim and at
tempts to keep the whole as fee?
/ Clarence Gray attempted that
piece of acting on a poor French
man yesterday.
This same fellow was the init
mate friend of the HE that acC,s,
and we confess that, while we are
puzzled at some items of history
all over the world, it seems to US
a very easy matter to understand
the story of Mix's Ascending. 1t
is remarkable that he had just
about time enough to get wellinto
California before this as-t00t OIL
ciaI, the Gray aforesaid, discovered
the fight Of mis- flying friend; and
that the public may not be de-
cieved concerning the relation Of
these worthless, it is due the honest
portion Of our citizens to say thaja
confidential letter from the robber
Of the dead mems graves W15
found on the table $50 said) Of the
lying, thieving, running rascal,
addressed to ourimmaculate pros
ecuting attorney. But that did
not prevent the said official to rush
to the Sherif7s Office and make
vehement demand Of that officer,
not only to do a very foolish thing,
but to add to it the commission Of
a crime. No one knew better than
this fellow that Mix had not gone
into Mexico-Where he wanted
to send the Sheriff on q wild goose
chase-but was in California, and
to arrest him and bring him back
without the lawful process OF q
requisition from the Executive Of
the Territory would have been
what lawyers call kidnapping"
His conduct in the case OF
Hughes, as Receiver, against
Brady, is another refreshing page
in the history Of this person. The
Dist Attorney is expected 10
represent the Territory and the
county in all matters in which the
public have an interest, butin this
instance, ds in many Others, he
was on the "the other side"
Gentlemen of Yuma county, il

you in any capacity, and are dis
posed to elect him, let us remind
you that when the evil days come,
