POTATOES are selling at ten cents per pound at Florence and there are none in the Tucson market. Barley is selling it Florence at two cents per pound and here at about the same. A proportionate diff ference in the price of other articles of farm products exists at this time and has existed for years goneby, and probably will continue to exist for years to come. Had the farmers of the present old States undertaken to get ahead by growing the cheapest product and buying all the dear est ones, they would have filled pauper graves instead ofbecoming independently rich, with plenty to eat and wear all the time.
 On Thursday evening, after the above was in type, Mir Sampson brought iD 6 lOt of potatoes from the Gila by the train Of Deguirre, which came over from Salt River. These potatoes are for sale at if teen cents per pound.

 Second. Private Murphy was killed July IS, as follows: Brophy and Murphy were sitting in Brophy's tent when an Indian entered. Brophy ordered him out. Murphy said no, he shall not go out or words to that effect. Brophy responded that Murphy or some one else should go, when the latter is reported to have commenced loading his gun. Upon this Brophy fired and killed Murphy with pistol shot. After the shooting Brophy delivered himself up to Captain Hamilton, Fifth Cavalry, who is con- manding San Carlos.

4 Certain Mining and Exploring
 Company

Last week, we gave such an insti- tution some attention. Since that, the Rocky Mountain Herald Denver of July ,, came along with this item
 A company of one hundred men is being organized in St. Louis to locate and sur vey an immense estate of rich agricultural and mineral lands in Arizona, and lay of city on the Gila river, on the line of the Great South ern railway, which will be the depot for all northern and southern Ari- zona, and the Mexican States of Sonora and Sinaloa. The expedition will set out about the middle of July.
 For two or three years, Arizona has been the objective point of set of company bilks." When we read of the operations of such, we feel it a public duty to plainly notice them. They do the Territory injury just in proportion to the length they are per- mitted to run. The above item ought of itself to be 8 warning to all sensible men that the projectors are mere spec ulators, to give them the mildest pos sible name. Within the entire length of Arizona, there is not one mile of the Texas and Pacific railway line absolutely settled upon; and yet the company referred to intend to lay out town thereon which shall command all the trade " of northern and south "ern Arizona and the Mexican States "of Sonora and Sinaloa." What pre- posterous hunbuggerv this is, we need but look at the map and indulge 1T q little common sense to fully ap- preciate. Then the talk of 'a rich "estate " is very suggestive of c. rich swlndie especially as 1t IS yet to be located and surveyed.
 Arizona presents excellent opportun- ltles to legitimate miners, stock growers and agriculturists, and to all such we say welcome here; but will not encourage these company frauds.

TIE PapagO mining district, situated about 5 miles southeriy from Tucson, prospects very well indeed, and gives evi- .dence of great extent and richness. With lin a few weeks, Samuel Hughes and Oth- CTS have built couple of arrastras and a small smelting furnace there. During this week, one of the employees came to town with s24 worth of silver, which was obtained from 294 pounds of quartz from the Esperanza This of course is a small amount, but it shows the ore to be worth at least Sl60 per ton as worked by the present imperfect means. Mr. Hughes says the district abounds in mines of equal and some of much greater richness, and he knows what he is talking about. He has had ore from several mines of that dis trict tested in Arizona and elsewhere, and all results are encouraging. He believes that mines enough are discovered there to furnishh employment to every laborer in Tucson, with profit to the employers.

evasion or delay. 1t is important now, when
we are about to appoint new officers under the
city government, to ascertain whether the chief
financial officer of the city is capable of filling
the position he holds, or whether certain
reputation for honesty is the only qualification
he possesses for the Office. When the informa-
ton the Senate is now seeking shall have been
obtained will be well to inquire into the
matter of neglected assessments, in order to
ascertain how much money the taxpayers have
been made to squander on interest unneces-
sarily while the Comptroller has been engaged
in newspaper controversies with other depart
ments of the city government in paltry
attempts to cut down the wages of laborers
and scrub women. The Legislature will then
discover whether Mayor Havemeyer is not
correct when he arrives at the conclusion that
the Office of Comptroller of the city OF New
York is not too big for the present incumbent.

PoTrER's PREDrcAMENr.- Clarkson N.
Potter, member of Congress, is one of those
honest Representatives who have refused to &C
cept the two years extra pay voted by less
conscientious members into their own pockets.
But Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, NJ. G., has paid
the amount into the hands Of the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House of Representatives at
Washington, and we do not clearly see how it
can find its way back to the National Treasury
through that source. Now that the officer has
got the money, what will he do with it Hon.
Clarkson N. Potter, M. c., could at any future
day take it back again if he wanted to do so,
no doubt; but this is not likely. The financial
Ordway might use it himself if he felt so dis
posed, beyond question. But how is Uncle
Sam to get at it? Hon. Clarkson N. Potter,
M. c., is in predicament. He had better
lake the money back and spend it or pay it di-
rectly into the United States Treasury. If be
does not he may find it as difficult to trace
hereafter as were Cakes Ames' little initial
checks.

The assent of such Board of Audit, by the
vote of a majority of all the members elected
thereto, shall be necessary to every resolution,
ordinance or other proceeding Of the Board OF
Aldermen involving the auditing of claims
and accounts, the expenditure of money, the
contracting of debts or the levying OF taxes
and assessments and the Board of Audit
shall be clothed with no other power. This
clause, which proposes to give taxpayers a
new and peculiar power over municipal
expenditures, is an innovation which will be
apt to encounter decided opposition.
A census is to be taken in 1875 and in each
tenth year thereafter, and Assembly districts
are to be equalized and apportioned according
to population. The Legislature is to be re-
strained from selling or dsposing of the Erie
Oswego. Champlain and Cayuga and Seneca
canals, and the expenditures upon them in
each year are restricted to the amount Of their
gross receipts in the previous year. All the
other canals are left to the discretion of the
Legislature. Most of these propositions are
obvious improvements on the old law; all of
them have weighty reasons in their favor. The
Commission has done its duty honestly
faithfully and creditably to the State, and its
report will probably in the main receive the
endorsement of the present Legislature

HE COLUMBUS (Ga.) Sun says some of the
negroes in Sumter county are breaking faith
with their employers and have no regard for
their contracts. The easiest way to surmount
this difficulty would be for the employers to
engage reliable white European laborers, and
let Sambo seek the lively swamps of Arkansas,
In which he can shiver and shake with the
fever and ague to his hearts content. Why
will not the intermeddling Northern carpet
baggers let the poor Southern blacks alone
and allow them to enjoy the blessing of know
ing when they are well of?

Still Moro Deeds OF BlO0d-Where Are
tho Police:

What commentary on the efforts of those
who would save murderers from the gallows
are the reports Of .fresh and terrible murders
which appeared in our columns yesterday!
And we have been told that drunkenness
should palliate the crime of murder! Let
those who reason thus read the report Of the
fearful deed of blood in East Seventy fourth
street by drunken ruffians, and then say if
society is to be protected by admitting
such special pleading in behalf of muir
derers. In the middle Of the day-that
is, at half-past one o'clock-three men,
Irish laborers it is said, entered Ger
man lager beer saloon, and after drinking
what they wanted refused to pay. Upon the
proprietor, Jacob Schmitt, demonstrating and
taking one of the ruffians by the collar he
was felled to the ground by blow from
the ringleader with beer bottle. While
bleeding and insensible from the fearful
scalp wound inflicted the rufians kicked the
PROSTATE man. When his wife ran to rescue
and protect him one Of the murderous brutes
drew long sheath knife and plunged it into
her back, just below the left shoulder blade
But, not satisfied with this, the fend continued
to stab the poor, helpless woman in her breast
and right arm. The three scoundrels seemed
to vie with each other in brutality towards both
husband and wife. A neighbor. Mr.. Young,
who appeared at the spot from having heard
the cries of distress, was also stabbed Such
was the thirst for blood and brutality of the
wretch who stabbed Mr.. Young that he
turned the knife round and round in the
wound. A more horrible and slckening event
we have hardly ever recorded. And the fends
made their escape. AS usual, there were no
police near or to be found. We have called
attention several times to the want of police
men at Yorkville and the inefficiency of those
there. Here is another and terrible case in
point. Perhaps there is no part of the city
less protected by the police than York
vile, though there is reason enough to
complain of insufficient protection everywhere.
Where the fault lies we do not know. There
may be too few policemen, the force may not
be kept fully up even to the number allowed
by law in order to leave room for the friends
of politicians, the Commissioners may not be
as efficient as they ought to be, the discipline
may be too lax and the finance department of
the citymay be too niggard Something is
wrong, in one way or another. The city must
be better protected
On the spur of this Seventy-fourth street
horror comes another account Of bloody row.
dyism and the murderous use of firearms by
body of roughs on Third avenue. These four.
or five rufians were drunk also when they
seized and took possession of a street car,
drew their revolvers, wounded the conductor
and another person and fred right and left, to
the great danger of wounding many others.
Are these murderous scoundrels to be ex-
cused too because they were intoxicatedp The
city must be protected If more police be
necessary they must be had. At all events
there is no way of checking these murders and
outrages but by infexible justice

The Political Situation in England.

The Political Situation In England.
The doubts Of some days are at last ended.
Mr.. Gladstone is still Prime Minister of Great
House of Commons were bold enough and
strong enough to defeat the Gladstone Min
istry on the second reading of the Irish Uni
versity bill. Mr.. Gladstone was honest enough
and daring enough to see the Queen and ten
der his resignation. 1t was a fair fight the
battle was fought and won, and by the party
in power the results were accepted. 1t is i'm
possible to refuse to admit that Mr.. Gladstone
was justified in rendering his resignation. 1t
is just as impossible however, TO refuse to
admit that Mr.. Disraeli and his friends have
confessed their weakness by refusing to accept
the responsibility which for four years they
have been signing for and which fair fight
devolved upon them. We are quite sat
isfied that the tories would not for any
length of time hold power in Great Britain
but we are by no means satisfied that an ap-
peal to the people, made at the present
moment, would not have resulted in tory
triumph. Mr.. Gladstone's Irish reforms
have been good, but too much of good thing
pals upon the taste. Of Irish reform the
people seem to be tired. Session after session
il has been the same old tune, and now even
MIR. Gladstone's grand performances cease to
attract. In addition to this Mr.. Gladstone
has alienated from himself and from the great
liberal party the potent influence of the
Ioarsad v;ctrallers of England by his severe
and restrictive legislation. In the large towns
of England proper such is the feeling of the
masses, in consequence of this restrictive
legislation, that it would not be wonderful if,
in general election, they would be found in
opposition to the liberal party. A general
election however, is expensive, and as a con-
tinuance of power is scarcely possible to the
tories Mr.. Disraoli, wisely, we think, declines
going, as they say, to the country. Over the
House of Commons, as the House of Com
mons is at present composed. Mr. Disraeh
