"A LA CALIFORNIA" is the title of a book sent to THE CITIZEN by A. L. Ban croft & Co.,, the publishers. The late Col, Albert s. Evans is author, and although he did not live to give it the finishing strokes with his own hand and is given to the public just as he first wrote it, it is still very smooth in style and entertaining in matter. It relates incidents which occur red in California in the early times of that remarkable State, incidents which have not appeared in anyother publication and were in the main personal experiences and observations of the author. The book contains 379 pages; is printed with beauti- ful type upon excellent paper and is neat ly bound so as to ornament a parlor table; is profusely illustrated and is in every way we'll executed. Agents for the book are wanted. Apply to A. l.. Bancroft & Co.,, 72l Market street, San Francisco. for an agency or the book.

MARRIED.

In PheniX, November II, 1873, at the res idence of the brides mother, by Justice M. P. Griffin, MT. Thomas Graves and Miss Isabel Drown, both of PheniX, Arizona California papers please copy.l
 November }, 1873, at the M. E. Church South, in Hannibal, Missouri, MT. M. R. Platt and Miss Bevvie Helm.
 MT. Platt is well known throughout southern Arizona, having resided in Tue son several years prior to December. 1870, at which time he visited his old home in New York and located soon after in Kan Sas City, and there has since devoted him. self to the real estate and banking buSi- ness and found time to extend his devO- tions to Hannibal. Well, Platt always seemed little odd but now his household is even. We sometimes thought, notwith- standing his business successes, that proper "helm" would do him no harm, but never dreamed that he was looking for a " bevy" of such guidance. An! Platt, had we charged you at our parting with purposes Of this kind, you'd have declared in your sweetest and loveliest manner that you hadn't the requisite "cheek;" but be- ing a good, kind man, as you were and ought to be now, we thought you Lad just the facial necessity for such venture, and expected you'd at least expose yourself to temptation. Young friend, next to Bowie be good to Platt.
 ''Nor ever did I love thee less,
 Though mourning o'er thy wickedness."

4 Brother Killed his Brother

George Wesley arrived from Grant on Thursday, and from him we get these facts: On the 14th instant, "Toney" GIiswald shot and killed almost instantly his brother George, with Henry rifle. It seems they had been cutting wood for MT. Wesley, about two miles from Grant; that they went to the post and drank some liquor but not to any great excess; that George returned to their camp little in advance of Toney; that when the latter got back, he became somewhat abusive of his brother-just why, our informant does not know; that very soon after, Toney shot George-who was unarmed-so that he died in less than an hour. Toney was arrested and confined at Grant.
 Mr. Wesley says that the brothers had been working for him about three weeks and that he did not discover any differ ences between them, and thinks the kill ing was probably the result of the passion of the moment. He understands they came from Nebraska to Arizona but were formerly of York county, Pa.

LAND JUMPERS AND TITLES.

Land jumpers infest and damage nearly all new settlements. They are not pioneer settlers but followers. They rarely think of settling or getting upon tract of land until some industrious man has discover ed its value and put improvements there on. They are, as a class, set which any community could well do without and are sometimes assisted by genuine settlers tc suddenly change their base of operations
 Just now, we are informed, San Pedro Valley is afflicted with the genus jumper, and some of the honest and early settlers there, are much annoyed thereby. We think, however much they may be vexed, the jumper cannot deprive them of any right obtained by their possession and improvements; for the first possessors have rights which will be recognized by the U. S. Land Office over any sub- sequent settlers or jumpers, provided the original possessors were in actual pos session at the time and continuously after the jumpers enter upon the land until ap- pIication for patent be made in accordance with law. The first actual settler has his possessory title recognized by the Terri torial and U. s. laws and may enforce it in the courts up to period not to exceed three months after the public surveys are completed and the plats thereof are filed in the local land office. In other words, the first and actual settler is lawfully en- titled to hold possession over and in pref erence to all subsequent settlers, until three months after the plsts of the surveys have been filed in the proper land office. Public notice of the time ot said filing has to be given by the surveyor-general under whose direction the surveys are made. Public surveys are now being eX- ecuted in San Pedro valley and the plats thereof cannot be filed at the Florence land office much if any before Feb. l5, 1874, so that the jumpers cannot get any legal advantage of an actual settler in that valley before May of next year. The United States will not countenanee land jumpers, for its laws all favor the first and actual settler over and above all oth- CTS. The homestead and pre-emption laws are standing invitations to citizens and those who have declared their in tention to become such, to go upon the unsurveyed lands of the United States, and their letter and spirit would both be violated, were those charged with execut- jag jag those laws to permit jumper to ob- tain rights to land previously settled upon and occupied in good faith.

WANTS OF CONGRESS.

Every now and then we hear or read that government ought to do this and that for Arizona Much that is wanted of government can only be obtained by law of Congress-new mail routes for instance. Department officers are always ready to execute any law, and if Arizona need anything not now authorized by statute, steps for the enactment of the necessary law or laws should be taken at once. Congress will assemble one week from next Monday, and although little more than an organization will be effected before the holidays, yet bills may be introduced and the earlier the intro = duction, the more likely they are of en- actment. Delegate Mccormack doubtless has important bills prepared, yet his con- stituents may know of proper measures which have escaped his notic or have not been brought to it, and if so they K lab06ld send him their views by letter or i. I3lHO of bill. They should attend to this \ as5fIztter ct once, or failing to get their a 5.i4k at the hands of Congress, should
 .of hereafter complain of inattention on < E; le part of that body or their Delegate. $ery one knows how diligently Delegate '. Eormick pushes business before the ! l5tpartments and Congress, and he takes a kindness to have suggestions and X 1ssietance from his constituents. It must k .lje borne in mind that bills not introduced tssfiy in the session, unless of national Importance, rarely become laws.
