OBITUARY.-G Governor Stafford for many years intimately knew Judge Samuel Todd, who recently died at Hardyville, and he furnishes THE CITIZEN with these remarks which we have many reasons for believing en- tirely due the character of deceased:
 By the death of Judge Todd, the Territory loses one of its truest and best citizens. Few men possessed nobler heart or a more genial dispo- sition. His company was sought by youth and age, and whether rich or poor, he had smiles and good cheer for all. In his dealings, he was just and honorable, and so sympathetic and generous was he towards his fel- low men, that his means generally passed from him almost as fast as &C., quired and although he undoubtedly left behind considerable means, if honesty to men and kindly treatment of the poor, the widow and orphan avail anything in the great Hereafter, he has laid up treasures there more precious than silver or gold. He was u native of Indiana came to Califor- mia from St. Louis in lS49; was en- gagged in mercantile business for many years at Yankee Jim ill Placer county; afterwards kept the Metropolitan Hotel ill San Francisco; came to Ari- zona about ten years ago and settled at Mohave, where he has been princi- pally engaged ill mercantile business. For nearly three years he held the office of probate judge for Mohave county. and resigned the position late ill 1872.

Facts for Pre-emptors.

The following is by the U. s. Land
 Register at Sacramento, California,
 and sets forth the facts which ought
 to be better known in Arizona than they seem to have been, judged by apprehensions recently expressed by many pre-emptors:
 There still seems to be some misun- derstanding about the time for proof and payment in pre-emption cases. The rule is this: First-when a party settles before the land is surveyed, he must file his declaratory statement within three months from the filing of the township plat, and within thir- ty-three months after the filing of such plat must make proof and pay ment. Second-When he settles on surveyed land he must file his declar- atory statement within three months after his settlement, and must prove up and pay within thirty-three months after his settlement.
 The act of March 22, 1872, was not intended to-and does not-shorten anybody's time. If pre-emptor's time does not run out, under the rule above stated, before March p, 1873, he need not pay any attention to the act above referred to. That act only extends the time of those whose time would have expired before March p. 1873, provided such law had not been passed. Parties, therefore, whose time under the rule first stated would have expired under former laws before March p, 1873, must prove up before that time. It is proper to state, how ever, that it will probably be held sufficient if proceedings to prove up are commenced before March p, 1S73- that is. citations issued, ss day set for hearing, etc.

1873.
 The law requires the superintendent
 of public instruction to prepare forms for reports and for the conduct of all
 necessary proceedings under the law
 also to have the school law published in pamphlet form. It was ascertain ed that money could not be legally drawn from the school fund for these purposes, but the necessity was so urgent to have the school law publish ed at once for the information of the people, that I procured its publication, for which payment has not been made. Much inconvenience and labor were occasioned for want of forms, but preferred to suffer them rather than incur further indebtedness for which there was no authority of law to dis charge.
 The Hon. T. J. Bidwell, in his report, suggests several important amendments to the school law, and in the main I coincide with his views i; but as this subject will have attention in the Governors message to the legis- lature, 1t needs no further mention herein.
 The school law provides that the Territorial board of education shall prescribe 8 uniform series of text books. In pursuance of this pro- vision, the series in use in California was adopted. This series is probably as good as any in use and the board believed that the books composing it could be more conveniently and speedily obtained because of their general use in a neighboring State. Upon reflection, it is my opinion that it is not good policy to adopt uniform series for the whole Territory; but that the selection of books be left to the county superintendents. There are many series of school books of about equal excellence, and by leav- ing the choice to the superintendents, the series most familiar to the teachers in each county could be selected. | While the whole Territory is con- pelled to purchase from the same publisher, we are prevented from talk ing any advantage of the competition in trade, or the additional advantage of any improvements that may be made in books.
 In conclusion, I beg leave to say that the friends of education have reason to feel encouraged at the prog ress made in the brief period since the esta blishment of free schools in Ari- zona. Without books, school houses or teacher to commence with, in less than two years, we have put the free school system fairly and successfully in operation throughout the Territory. It now requires no argument to i'm press the necessity of keeping up the institution. The schools, and the boys md girls being raised to life of usefulness through their agency, can be seen and they more eloquent appeal for the fostering care of the Territory, than any language I can use. Since my appointment, have visited every school district in the Territory and most of them several times. I have received the cordial support and assistance of the people in each of the districts and if we have not done all we could wish for advancement, 1t has not been for want of aid and symphathy of the people. Respectfully Yours.

THE Texas and Pacific engineers were at work on the Gila near old Camp Goodwin about two weeks ago, and working their way westward again. Within twelve months, the whole route from Texas to San Diego has been once and much of 1t two and even three times skilfully examined. While there appears to be some delay in beginning actual pick and shovel work at San Diego, there is ample ev- idence being continually shown that the early completion of the whole line is fixed fact with the company,
 upon which the pubic can safely rely.

THE Mexican Congress has passed a bill authorizing the executive De- partment to construct a line of tele- graph from Mazatlan to Ures, the Capital of Sonora, about 400 miles from Tucson. If now our Govern ment would, in accordance with the recommendation of General Schofield, construct a line from San Diego or Los Angeles to Tucson, the lacking link of 400 miles might soon be pro- vided to connect the American with the Mexican telegraphic systems on both sides of the Continent. The same Act which provides for @ line to Ures, also makes appropriation for a wire from Durango to Ell Paso.-

Two Nero Eiends.

CALIFORNIA, Mo, Sept, l.-Great ex-
citement was created here last night by
the supposed elopement of white girl
and a negro from a farm ten miles
north Of town, which afterwards proved
a serious matter. She had been seduced
by the negro and brought to town by
him and an accomplice for the alleged
purpose OF pending her to her friends at
Carondalet. On arrival here be told
her that no trains left until tonight
and enticed her to the woods near town,
and were discovered after ten hours
search by citizens, who turned out en-
massc. Upon the approach of the cite
zens the negroes fled. From the girl g
statement and their actions it is sup
posed they intended putting her out OF
the way, and If she had not been
rescued no doubt would have been
loully dealt with. The girl is but ff-
teen years old and is encicnte. She
was brought to town and will be sent
home. Great Indignation exists among
the citizens and hot pursuit has been
instituted for the fiends who, if captur-
ed, will no doubt be lynChed.

Horrible Tragedy in Missouri
A Man Kills Sister, Nephew and
Himself.

ST. LOUIS, September 1.-The Re-
publican has Q special from Sedalis,
Missouri, giving an account Of a horri-
BILE tragedy which occurred at Knight
ly's station, on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad, six miles west OF
Sedalia, on Saturday last. 1t appears
that VIM. Knightly, who has been la
boring under mental arrangement for
some time, killed or caused the death
of his sister, Adelaide, aged forty, and
his nephew, Louis Stobbs. He then
set fire to the house and killed himself.
The house occupied an isolated posi-
tion, and when the neighbors reached
the place, it was a mass of ruins, and
the charred remains Of Knightly were
found near a window, with a shot guu
partly burned at his feet. The bodies
ofhis sister and Stobbs were lying near
the front door, but 80 badly burned
that it could not be determined whether
they had been killed by Knightly. or
whether they were suffocated. The
coroners jury inclined to the latter
opinion, although the neighbors testi-
fed to having heard three shots fred
while the house was burning.
The same special says that two horse
thieves were hanged by mob in Ben
ton county on Saturday, and that an
other ofthe gang had been arrested and
is now in jail at Sedala.
Captain Joseph Widen, one Of the
victims Of the explosion OF the steamer
George C. Wolff, died here yesterday.

Captain E, F. Dix, an old and WE'LL
