IT will be noticed by our dispatches tz1 Lieut.. King has made an excellent stl4@ against the hostile Apaches, and is prS4 ing himself worthy the eminentlst0& from which he springs. We have no pc sonal acquaintance with Lieut.. King, Zbt we believe he is a grandson of Rufus Kin who took leading part in framing th federal constitution, and who served f04 terms in the United States Senate ff64 New York and by his elOquence and ahI ty has left name in history as one Of | first men of his time. He also twieeaV1 resented our country as minister at M Court of St. James. We believe EI4@ Kings father is an eminent jourH&4 who was and perhaps now is preside4y Columbia college. Lieut.. King, unliK6 sons of many prominent families,
 dently determined to make an hono
 record for himself and not depend ent
 upon that of his ancestors, and In
 ing he is pursuing the wiser course.

The Bloody Mine.

The Bronco mine located on the San Pedro, where M. B. Duffield was killed, has had bloody record. It was located in 1855 by man named Bronco, and in 1858 he and man named Williams enter ed into copartnership to work it. They did considerable work on the mine and as far as developed it showed large, well defined vein, very rich in silver. They erected buildings, established a store and were prepared to work the mine on an eI- tensive scale, when in 1859 the Mexicans in their employ rose en masse and for pur- poses of robbery murdered Bronco, Will liams, Marsh and another man whose name we do not know, and carried to So- nora all the movable property. The four victims were buried near the mine, and now Major Duffield is buried beside them. Since Bronco and party were murdered no work of any importance has been done on the mine, on account of the danger from the Apaches. Major Out field claimed to have located the mine in 1864 and over year ago it was located by other persons and since that location Duff field has been very violent in his threats towards any and all who dared to interfere with his rights. Before leaving Tucson tNnhis last trip we understand he made his and frequently expressed the deter

A LETTER from PheniX says: "Barley will be very light here in consequence of the sudden change from cold to extreme heat. We shall not have half the crop that we did last year, and we have not more than three fourths of a million poundSGf the old crop left" There will be laN e in- crease of demand for barley this yearsand taking into consideration that less ss las been sown than last year and in many places the crop is lighter, leads us to be- lieve that all the grain we have and will raise will be needed. We hope farmers can hold on to their grain until a fair price is given them.

Arizona, sonora and New Mexico.
 It is an undeniable fact that Arizona is now making rapid strides in advance of either New Mexico or Sonora, and in the advancement we are making we cannot claim superiority of resources or natural advantages. Sonora has an excellent grazing resources Is equal if not superior to Arizona. When this country was purchased from Mexico, Arizona was part of Sonora and the frontier of that State, SO that it has had several centuries advantage of us in settlement and chances for improvement. And while Arizona is going ahead with rapid strides Sonora is as rapidly going to decay.
 New Mexico has been an organized Ter ritory twenty-four years, and compared with Arizona it is an old settled country. Its resources are unsurpassed and yet it has been on a stand-still since it became American Territory. It may be unpleas-

For The Cecil Whig'
TOO BITTER A DOSE,

The result Of the election last Wednes
day should inspire every lover of good
order and decency, with determination
never to give up the fight for the triumph
of decency and right, and should teach our
Democratic politicians that even here in
Cecil county, so long under the dominion
of whisky and its kindred evils, that they
can make the dose SO strong that even
Democratic copper-lin stomachs cannot
stand it.
True to the instincts and traditions of
the party, they nominated candidate.
that the morning after the election last
November went in company with others of
the same ilk, from one GROCERY to another
all over the town, with 4 iibe and sheer
for every Republican they met, to celebrate
the result in many cups of bad whisky
Those who heard their wild orgies and bac.
ehanaian shouts might well have thought
as Byron some where says, that it was
" hegj Jroke loose"
The politicians tried the same old tac-
III,
harreniteS, elk neckers, red Killers. and all
the paupeIs were out in their strength, but
it all wouldn't do-even the prestige and
GLORIOUS glamor,' surrounding the names
of the members of the " ring" could not
so disguise the nauseous dose that the peo
pie would swallow it.
Gentlemen, there is but one conclusion
that sensible man can come to-tAe dosc
acas too strong.
Reader, much might be said about how
the "ring " and politicians took the result,
but in charity to them we will let the cur
tain drop and only say that the Court house
bell did not ring, and there was nothing
unusual to disturb the quiet slumbers of
peaceable citizens on last Wednesday night.
The order-loving and od-fearing people
OF this much whisky cursed town rejoice
at the contrast. A LOCKER On.

PENANCE OF THE ELKTON RING.

The Democrat of Saturday last contained
an appeal or brief address to the Demo.
cratic voters of Cecil county," with a list
of names attached which, taken as whole,
may be accepted as very fair representa-
ton of the Elkton Ring" which was re-
ceived with not a little surprise by good
many good people. When but few days
ago number of these signers, impeiled by
a growing public sentiment among the
moral, intelligent and religious class of the
community, stepped forward and dared to
help lift up and advance the banner of re-
form against the lawlessness, drunkenness
and degradation which is pouring out like
fetid stream from the hundreds of grog
shops and gambling hells which pollute
every nook and corner of the county and
State, they did not dream that circum-
stances would compel them so soon to 60
humbly down on their knees, and in AFFECT
servility eat dirt at the feet of their masters
of the Stun and bar-rooms, to whom they
had sold themselves and their party. But it
is said that the devil exacts payment to the
uttermost farthing from them who deal
with him, and in this instance the maxim
has been most conclusively verified. The
grogshops and gambling bells dictated the
nomination, but that was not sufficient to
satisfy them with their late unsteady allies,
who, when the prospect for further services
seemed very remote, showed signs of de-
serting them, and clasping hands with their
enemies in a movement to restrain the def
ers and Knockers of decency, law and order
who show themselves in every quarter where
these unrestricted dens spring up.
They said you shall endorse this nomina-
ton in published card, in order that the
better element of the Democratic party in
the rural portions of the county may be
held securely in our grasp. Refuse this
demand at your peril And the "Elkton
Ring" dared not refuse.
The honorable, Conscientious and religious
signers to this outrageous imposition on
the public hung their heads in very shame
when reproached by their friends for such
cowardly surrender to the vicious ele-
ment that rules their party with an iron
rod. The managers who speak for and
officer the Democratic party have often
been charged with catering to the bascr
passions and groveling propensities of the
unwashed rabble, but in this county they
never before were placed naked in the pill
lory of public opinion, by their despised
but all-powerful allies. VIII the people
who have honest intentions ard desire to
do right, learn from this last disgraceful
appeal of the managers, that the "Elkton
Ring" are bound, body and soul, to the
Whisky Ring, the defiers of law and order,
and the proprietors Of brothels and gam
bling hells9 Or having eyes see not, and
ears hear not, and are totally void of
understanding

for The Cecil Wing.


Mr.. ED1ToR:-My only excuse for trou-
bling you with this affair, is that it has
become matter in which every Republi.
can and soldier in Cecil is interested.
| shall briefly and must necessarily i'm
perfectly narrate the facts and let the Re-
publican party of Cecil judge for them
selves.
1t is well known that Col. J. C. Hill held
an appointment as military store keeper
during the LIST term of Gen. Grant, which
office he faithfully and honestly filled; no
one ever receiving greater compliments
from the merchants of Baltimore than he.
When the appointments were made for
Grants second term, Col. Hill was re-
moved or was not re-appointed, for what,
no one knows, and that to the removed
from office was added false promises, time
and time again, adding lying to injury.
Now as Col. Hill was removed and has
not been re- appointed as promised, here
wish to say that the Republicans and SOL
diers want the responsibility to rest where
it belongs, as in writing as an individual
do it at the request of numbers who are
ready and will sign their names 10 a petit
ton to that effect, which we intend to pre-
sent to Mr.. Creswell, and through him to
the President, claiming as we do that of
all of the sons of Cecil, no one has a
preuder record than Col. Hill, who gave
his manhood and health to his country in
the time that tried mems souls. Col. Hill
was commander of the 9th Maryland regi-
wound, from the effects of which he has
never recovered. In short his record is
part of that of the gallant 9th Maryland, and
no member of the Maryland line did more
to aid his country, Or was more ready to
cover his countrys flag with lis person
than he-and when those who are now
opposing him were quietly at home far
from the reach OF danger and now unfort-
nate in business, when he asks an appoint
ment from the Government he die, so much
60 save, we wish and intend it to be known
that it is the wish of Cecil that he, of all
others, receive an appointment, and if not
done after appealing through Mr.. Creswell
who we believe has done all in his power
to the President we then fail, one remedy
is left, namely, that in the future We will
not support any party who will at the ex-
pense of q soldier, such as Col. Hill, APP
point men who have not half the claims to
office as he. \. SOLDIER OF CECIL.

THE FENCE LAw.-IHs american Firm
sr in speaking of the above law in the
Sandy Spring District of Montgomery Co.,
Md, says:
"Some years ago the farmers of this
district were harrassed and injured by the
running at large of stock. Upon consulta-
ton it was decided that in their opinion no
law upon the subject was needcd.-the
common law protecting every man in the
enjoyment Of his own property, and reguir-
ing him to refrain from any injury to the
property of his neighbor Acting upon
this, several farmers propped open their
gates, and others even took up their bot
tom fence-rails. Actions were brought
against owners of trespassing stock, case
carried to the county court, and decision
rendered in accordance with the views the
farmers had taken. Tie Result: For wears
no stock has run at large; gates stand open
winter and summer; three rail fences pre-.
vail, where fences are used or needed at all !:
great cause of disssnton is eliminated
from neighborhood, and heavy tax Oh
every farmer lightencd or removed.

Stokley for Mayor, who was the regular
Republican nominee, but supported by the
Age, against Alexander X. Mcclure, the
Independent or Centennial candidate as he
was termed by his friends. The contest
was very hot and spirited one. The
majority for Stekley was 10,S49. The can
didate for city Solicitor, Charles Il. s. Col
lis and Thos. J. Smith, receiver of Taxes
On the same ticket, were elected. the former
by majority Of 12,51S and the latter by
14,0O7 majority. Organized fraud is charg-
ed by Mcclure and his friends on the sue

The Republicans elected their municipal
officers in most of the cities in the State,
holding their own and gaining on the Dem
ocrats.
