Lynch Law i'm Arizona.

A special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Bulletin from San Diego gives
the following account of the lynching of
four men III Tucson, Arizona: Son
midnight of Wednesday Vicente Her.
nandez, otherwise known as 'Piedras
Negras, pawnbroker, and his wife, were
murdered by having their skulls crushed
i'll with a club, and jugular veins cut
with knife. During the day 5000 re-
ward was subscribed by the citizens.
Six men were arrested on suspicion.
The citizens believing them to be Grim
inals, proceeded to extort confession.
The principal murderer, q Mexican
named Leonardo Cordova, confessed,
fully exposing his associates, one of
whom subsequently confessed. The
three were compelled to disclose the
hiding-place of the plumber. Next
morning a settled determination was
expressed to hang the three murderers
of Hernandez and wife, also to hang
John Willis, who killed Robert Swope
at Sanford, i'll November, 1872. and IN.
dicted therefor in March, 1873. The
trial was postponed till May, when he
was found guilty of murder in the first
utSicC, uiu OiutItti W NC ne
case unsupported to the Supreme Court.
The arrangements were completed next
morning. Two posts, forked at the
top, were planted in the ground near
the jail-door, and upon them was placed
a stiff pole about twelve feet i'll length
TO this pole four ropes were fastened,
with nooses to each, and two wagons
were drawn beneath. The Catholic
priest, desiring to give consolation to
the doomed men, was given the time
desired. The four men, John Willis,
Leonardo Cordova, Clemente Lopez,
Jesus Saquaripa, were brought out of
Jail with bandages over their eyes,
put in the wagons, the ropes adjusted
to their necks, wagons drawn out and
all four hung side by side. A coroner's
inquest was held, and verdict rem
dered that John Willis, Leonardo Cor
dova, Clemente Lopez and Jesus
Saquaripa were hung by the people of
Tucson en- n1dsSe, in view of the terrible
crimes and murders committed, and the
hardness of iustice-the inevitable re-
suit of allowing criminals to escape the
penalties of their crimes"

Terrible Storm on the Coast Of Nova
Scotia and the Island Of Cape Breton.

Dispatches just received from Sydney, Cape
Breton. state that terrible storm OF wind and
rain has been raging there since Monday, the
greatest known at Cape Breton for years. All
the harbors are filed with vessels. Thirty
vessels were driven ashore at Sydney. The
farmers have suffered heavily. Many build
ings we're blown down, and the crops through
out the country destroyed, and bridges washed
away. The storm commenced at noon on
Monday, blowing fiercely from the south
east. The wind changed suddenly to east,
sending tidal wave ten feet high sweeping
toward the docks and wharves. The wind
was blowing frightfully. Among the vessels
ashore at Sydney are the Violent, Matilda B.
Hunter, Nancy II. McRae, Maggie ID. Grant,
Euxine, Zephyr and Alpha. These are total
wrecks. The bark Electra, dismasted, has
been on the bar at the entrance to Sydney har-
Dor flying a flag of distress all day. The
schooner Case is ashore unchanged. Fifty sail
vessels are at Cow Bay, all ashore. The Gu
nard steamship Alpha, from Sydney, put in
there for harbor with steam up aud anchors
down, and cceeded in holding. The break
water at Cow Bay is badly damaged. Bellies
wharf is destroyed. The destruction to ship
ping in the bay is frightful.

A Big Gun.

"Work on the big Hitchcock gun at
the water works." says the Springfield
Union, "is progressing slowly. About
forty hands are at work all the time on
various portions of the job. The pit
for the casting OF the gun, or rather
where the parts of it are to be welded,
has been cemented for about thirty feet
out of the whole forty-seven. The car

Political.

The Washington Daily Republican, of Aug.
81. contains four-column article in advocacy
of the reelection of President Grant to a
third term. The article states that the idea is
az old ~ tho Government itself. and has al
ways been subject of difference and dispu-
tation; that Washington was requested to run
a third term Thomas Jefferson, the caonized
Saint Of the Democracy, was similarly honored
so were Madison and Monros. "If Gen.
Grant desires the Presidency for third term,
he can have it, for the people have learned to
trust the hand that has guided the Ship Of
State safely through so many perls, and they
will keep him at the helm as long as the ex-
igencies Of the State may need him. His
Willingness to serve the country makes him
available. Let Gen. Grant, then, be again
put before the people for reelection. The
people will confirm the choice Of the nations
counsellors.'
Ben. Butler made the opening speech of his
campaign at Worcester, Mass, last week, in
which he went for his enemies in genuine
Modoe fashion,. He defended the salary grab
and made a savage reply TO Judge Hoar's re-
cent letter.

What Causes Hard Times.

Too many spend money, and too few
earn it.
Too much money is spent wastefully
and needlessly, and too little saved and
made productive and accumulative.
We buy TOO much abroad that we
ought to produce at home.
We buy too much that we do not pay
for cash down-too much Of what we
buy being what we do not actually need.
We are too wasteful, know too little
how to economize, and have too little
disposition to do SO.
We are too speculative, INSCRIPTIONS
and actually dishonest in our efforts to
make money.
Too many of us prefer idleness to in
dustry, and too few of us know how to
work and derive pleasure and profit
from our labor.
We spend too much time learning
what is not useful, and too little inform
ing ourselves upon the best methods OF
promoting our material prosperity.
We know too much of politics, spend
too much time and money as politicians,
and know too little about political
economy and the science OF stable,
economical, successful public policy.
Our actions are governed too much by
passion, prejudice and partisan feeling,
and not enough by broad, intelligent,
liberal and patriotic conception OF the
duties which American citizenship in
wolves.
We are too superficial and and i'm
patient, and lack the clear purpose and
persistent, patient application necessary
to permanent success.
We depend too much upon our
sharpness and cuteness," and
stances, and not enough upon earnest,
honest labor.
We talk and read too much, and think
and act too little.
We spread ourselves over too great a
surface, and thus fail to dig deep enough
In one place for the nuggets that will
surely enrich us.
We lack in that higher morality which
frowns down venality and elevates and
encourages purity of life, probity OF
conduct, and scrupulous regard for "a
good and honorable name.
We do not teach our children that
they must, nor how to, earn their own
living, and are too willing to commit
them to life of easy unscrupulousness.
depending Oh their skill as make-shifts
rather than their solid requirements as
men and women.
We roll about too much like stones
that gather no moss, enriching corpora
tons and specializing capitalists, and
defrauding ourselves of the profits of
our own industry.
We are devotees of show rather than
substance, and pay homage to the glitter
of success which is but robe
covering filth, rottenness and corrup-
tion-social, commercial and political.
We build too many churches, and
cultivate the Christian virtues and spirit
too little.
We have too many schools and too
few real teachers.
We are too undivided in certain direc-
rections and not enough SO in others.
We adhere too closely to what we
ought to depart from, and refuse to
take hold of that TO which we ought to
cling.
In short, we are too much what we
ought not, and not enough what we
ought to be.

A SINGULAR DEATH. William Dodd.
a citizen of Newark, N. j., recently died
from somewhat remarkable cause.
When a boy, deceased swallowed beard
of wheat, which by some means entered
his lung and nearly caused his death.
He suffered constantly for three years,
but at the end of that time coughed it
up, and afterward recovered and enjoyed
robust health. At the beginning of this
year a sudden strain reopened the old
wound, which prevented him from swal-
lowing, as food would pass into his lung,
so that he was literally starved to death.
Deceased was 81 years of age.

TIE YELLOW FEVER AT SHREVEPORT, La.
has become SO terribly fatal among that u n
fortunate population as to make its visitation
there one of the most remarkable outbreaks of
that dreadful epidemic of which we have any
record. But as at Norfolk some twenty years
ago, the predisposing causes and all the con-
ditions needed for the fullest developement of
this pestilence existed at the outset, and with
the subsistence of the disease the people of
Shreveport will have SO dearly learned the
lesson OF sanitary precautions as to be as ex-
empt hereafter as New Orleans has been since
the war from any panic-creating returns of
the yellow fever

our fathers in founding republican institutions,
and commanded the respect and admiration OF
all mankind by our achievements in industry,
science and art, we feel that we are not pre-
pared to surrender all, to dishonor all, in
order to meet the demands of an ambitious
and desperate party, and to remand the gov
ernment to the hands of men who are only
exhalations-creation of our civil war;
There is Masonic legend which tells that
when by tho sympathy Of union and inter
change of thought among the peoples, the
representatives OF all nations shall finally as
semble in the same lodge, there will then be
given the final crowning degree. We have
striven to realize this beautiful conception
to unite under one flag and merge into
one citizenship the people of all ma
tions of the earth-Germans, Scandina-
vians, French, Irish, Italians, and even
Cinnamon, whose coming reverses the order
of nature-that the tides of emigration shall
flow only Westward. We have boundless re-
sources; climate that in one day, so vast is
our extent Of territory, will show seventy de-
grees and zero on the Thermometer -midsum-
mer heat and midwinter cold. We have the
means of living in luxury within ourselves, in
dependent of all the outside world. We have
millions Of acres Of land ready to spring forth
into productiveness at the touch; great rivers
and inland seas to bear our commerce; min
eral wealth that ages cannot exhaust. We
have hoped to develop people with the ulti
mate power to create a universal masonry of
humanity, and to reap the rich fruits in the
enlightenment and happiness of all mankind
With these high hopes in the American heart
we dare not feel that our national career will
end in disappointment, shame and anarchy;
and such, we are convinced, would in
deed be our fate were we to crafty
the hopes and realize the prophecies of
the London Times. It is in this belief
that we have raised our warning voice
against that spirit of C@sarism which, if left
unchecked, would speedily verify the predic-
tions of the English journal. To us parties
are nothing; individuals are nothing; politics
are nothing; our government is everything.
AS q soldier as ruler and as q man we
respect and honor General Grant, and we
have given his administration discreet and
valuable support. For these very reasons we
are the more jealous in guarding the nation
against the danger which threatens it; against
that spirit Of C@sarism which, under the mask
of third term, would impose upon us life
ruler and strike fatal blow at republican
government to the qualification of the COM
bined reactionists, monarchists and absolutists
all over the world. We love our people. We
have warned them.
