The woman in whose house Underwood
ana Cohen were arrested states that six per-

The conservatives believe they were roaIino,
up returns for the parishes that were not
promptly reported. The returns from ST
James aud several other parishes have not
yet been delivered to the return
ing board. John n. Sandigle was
to-Gay eiected member of The returning
board, vice Longstreet, resigned. The board
IS progressing slowly in the count. It had
reached the ninth poll in the Second Ward
OF the CITY. In most every poll the board
hnds something Informal as regards the GER
uhcatlon upon which discussions arise. The
members OF the board seem to be strict con-
s.ructionlsts as to the application of the cleo
uon law. Iho conservatives charge that the
supervisors have Intentionally failed In many
cases TO properly certify.
The republicans say that the st. JameE
parish election returns were probably being
arranged toelect Bovee to the Senate instead
Of his opponent. Both are republicans.
Bovee was formerly secretary of state. It is
known that he wssengaged with others in the
house where Underwood and Cohen were
arrested, but he bad finished mis- part Of the
business and returned home. All those en-
gagged in the transaction will be arrested to-
morrow. including Bovee. The Hon. A. B.
Spencer, candidate for Congress from the fifth
district al the recent election saws that he was
elected, and, whether the returning board
counts him in or out, be will appear. before
Congress and demand his seat. Gen
eral Emory has issued an order for
the removal of the troops from
the state house at o'clock tomorrow
morning. 1t is generally believed here that
this movement is made in pursuance Of
orders from Washington. Gen. Morrow,
who has been to Monroe investi-
gazing the charges against Lieut.. Hodgson,
returned to-day. He has not vet made his
report, but as he ordered Hodgson under
arrest court martial will probably follow.
Hodgson is charged with cutting the tele-
graph wires and overstepping his duty in
making arrests and guarding prisoners.

FHE CoNsfIRAcY CASE.

HARRINGTON ADDRESSES THE JURY IN HIs
owS DEFENsE-HE USES BITTER Ian
GUAGE-HE LEAVES HIS HONOR IN THE
HANDS OF THE JURY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. q.
In the safe burglary trial Harrington ad-
dressed the jury in his own behalf, saying
that he did so notwithstanding the adage
that he who is his own lawyer has a fool tor
his client. He protested his entire in
nocence, and said that he asked no
tayors, nothing but simple justice.
10 his argument he cited various cases and
decisions which have been made against the
practice of seizing private papers for the
past six centuries, and denounced the action
of the government Illegal, indecent and
infamous. In regard to the missing tele-
gram, he said that it was for his interest to
keep that telegram intact, for the govern
meDt did not know who wrote that dis
patch, and before they could introduce it.
they must prove that he (Harrington) wrote
it. He would have it destroyed under
any circumstances, and he had as much
right say that the counsel for the govern
ment had abstracted that telegram as they
had to impute its absence to him. They
might not have done it themselves, but they
we're surrounded by band of men who
were used to such capers, and they could
have picked up this dispatch and have eaten
it up as easily as they could have eaten one
OF Welken's dinners. He spoke about the
release of Benton, and said
that he only did what he
considered his duty and what he always
would do and what he would do again, and
that was to give every man his liberty on
bail when the case warranted it. At this
very time, be also suggested, Hayes could
procure his release on bail. Harrington
spoke nearly two hours and closed by urC-
ing his own vindication, and de-
claring his willingness to leave every
thing, his life and his reputation
and honor in the hands of the jury, and say
ing, that in all his official acts he had never
yet tarnished bis name or his honor. The
court here took recess. After the recess
the court was adjourned till Monday, when
Mr.. Davidge, of the counsel for the defense,
will decide whether or not he will address

ATCH1soN, Ks. Nov. 2l.-The Daily
Champion publishes from the advance
sheets of the official reports made to the
state board of agriculture some statistics
showing the destitution existing in sew
eral of the frontier counties of the
state. Seventeen counties in which an
aggregate OF 15S.000 acres had been planted
in corn produced not bushel of this cereal.
Five of these counties produced an average
crop of wheat, rye, oats, barley and buck
wheat, and are abundantly able to relieve

midst. The other twelve counties having an
aggregate population of 23,SS7, as shown by
the state census, taken last June, are all on
the remote frontier. and the settlements
within them have all been made within the
last three years. The eight in which the
greatest 0estitution prevails have all been
populated within the past year or two, and
the greater part oil their population settled
within their limits either last spring or
the preceding fall. These show
an. aggregate population of 1896
settlers. Generally they had their first crop
planted. They had expended all their means
in building their homes and putting in crops.
The drought and grasshoppers wrought the
total destruction of everything they had
planted. leaving them totally destitute
They are without either food, clothing or
fuel, to sustain them until they can
produce something on which to live,
and must be sustained by the charitable
contributions ofthe people in other sections
of the state and the country at large. The
Champion computes the numbersof desti-
tute in the state at from 20. 000 to $4,000. But
of these many are located in the older
counties where the crops, with the exception
Of the corn were fair average, and the
more fortunate citizens are able and willing
to help their destitute neighbors. But in

THE CONSEQUENCES.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 16.-The Rev.
Samuel r. Wilson, d. D.. pastor Of the First
Presbyterian Church of this city, published
a card in the daily papers few days since,
making bitter structures upon the action OF
the Louisville presbytery, in investigating
certain troubles in mis- church, and
denouncing DIR. Stuart Robinson and
other Individual members of the
presby terry, and also Messrs. Watterson and
Haldeman, the editor and bI siness manager
of the Conrier-Journal, for alleged injustice
done by that paper TO him. AT meeting

apology, with the alternative OF denying
him right to participate further in the pro-

The route of the slave trade crosses this

BUILDINGS TO BE EREcTED.-We feel safe in stating that at least one large brick store, Masonic Lodge and hotel building will be put up in Prescott, the coming spring and summer. And, we make guess that suit able county building will be erected of brick in the plaza, before the snows of another winter. These, with the number of smaller houses that are sure to be erected, would give steady employment to great many me- chanics and labores, inspire spirit of im- provement among all classes and cause the town to look up, as if it meant, surely, to continue in the lead of all Arizona towns.
 NEW SUPERvIsoR.--At a called meeting of Supervisors, held this forenoon at the office of the county recorder, Dr Geo. D. Kendall was appointed member of the board, to fill the unexpired term of the late Edward Kerr. We call this a good appoint ment.
 THE WEEKLY MINER, containing the news, etc, of five dalies, news and editorials of Friday and the advertisements Of leading firms, tradesmen, etc, of the entire Terri tory, will be printed tomorrow afternoon, in time for mailing and sending away. It will be very interesting number and should have general and generous circulation out side of the Territory. Extra copies will be for sale at the office of publication and at the news depot of Kelly X Stephens.
 Taxes promise to be pretty heavy on Pres colt people, this year, as in addition to Ter ritorial and county taxes, Prescotters will have to pay one per cent for the support of the village government. But, this we can stand, if the Indians do not again tax us, as of yore.
 The sun was chief yesterday, and turned a great deal of snow into water, which was running in sluice and rocker heads all over this blessed land Towards evening, light breeze from the north set in and stopped the thawing process.

Wm. Simmons, who recently drove his pack-train to the Hassaysmpa, intending to pack rock to Fredrick's quartz crusher, re- turned yesterday, after having found that all his efforts could not keep an open trail through the deep snow covering that region, which snow is from four to six feet in depth.

 DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CENTRAL COMMIT TEE.-Having frequently been asked for the names of this body of men, we quote from a number of the MINER, printed soon after the holding of last nominating convention:-
 The primaries were held August r, 1872. Convention met August 31, and, after the performance of other duties, nominated the following named gentlemen as central com- mittee: E. J. Cook, A. H. Peoples, Fred Henry, R. Bell, John White and L. R. Steph- enson.
 Since these nominations were made, R. Bell has departed this life and L. R. Steph- enson tas left the Territory.
 UPPER LYNX CREEK.-Mr Ballou, miner, came in from Walkers, on Lynx creek, yes terday, and purchased supplies for some of the miners of that camp. He said that last storm deposited about one foot of snow in the high mountains. The weather being cold miners were unable to work much. What little work they had done paid them very well. The Messrs Waterman and MT. Hurst, lately from Kansas, were at work on 8 water-wheel and srrastrs. Mfr. Pointer and others are crushing rock, which was pay ing them. ---

BeoK- K-BtNDIsG.-Th MINER office is pre- pared to bind books, pamphlets, etc, in a good, substantial way, and would be thank. ful for few orders, just to help "make the mare go," in this dull season.
 NIT. Douglass Cummings, late of Santa Cruz, California, arrived here recently and believes he will make Arizona his home for all time. He appears to be live, energetic man.
 Four passengers are booked for to-morrow mornings blackboard, namely: Mir Wright. of Los Angeles, California; Mr Soult, of the Colorado river, and Reverends G. < Reeder and J. wernIy.
 The storm has demoralixed the telegraph : kept people from coming to town; '.housed'' all in town, and made us feel as if 'twere useless to make ''much ado about nothinp'' in these piping times of idlencss and peace.
 LOST IN THE Sxow.--We stated in a recent paper, that II. NJ. Herbert sheriff of this county, had gone to visit Bradshaw, in com. pany with Messrs Wright aud Linn, which statement was true. We now learn that Mir. Linn states that Mr. Herbert having gone some distance from his companions, lost bis way, and wandered among the snowy moun- tsins sl of last Saturday night, and that he arrived, next morning, at Charley Taylors place in Minnehaha Valley, all but dead from cold and exposure, on the night in question, which wss one of the most severe nights ever experienced in this part of Arizona. His companions left him at Taylor's place, where he will remain until sufficiently re- covered ts travel. He had no blankets and meet hare suffered great deal.
 The case of Fisher vs: Head. brought by the former against the latter to recover money realized from the sale ofa certain courtczanis property, wss argued before Judge Fleury by Captain Hsrgrave fer Head and Judge Howard for Fisher, this forenoon. after which the Judge pronounced judgment in favor i of Fisher for ST9.75. Fs have not sufficient knovledge of this case to elaborate the facts. and euiy know that Mir Head claimed the money m payment ofl bill due his store by the woman Others ;lso claimed the money, and. it appears will now get it, while Col Head wili have 50 suecr the loss of his goods. As.D s,enr| tle wonder is i. tha. feeling of sadness pt over those who yes- terday witnessedk> burial of Mir Kerr and Dr. Wiliiag-twseu eu who but short time ago hoped to live t~see Arizons-the coun- try of their adoption-a prosperous, popu- lons and wealthy St.te ia the Union. They vsre buried side hxside. and the words spo- ken by Rev. G. i.Reeder. who stood be- 1 tween the new ms graves. brought tears from the eyes of thSsc who in life Knew the departed and who h;d never before witnessed a dual burial in this new country.

Col H. A. Bigelow and Mir Aleck Harris sfaifsd this afternoon for their gold diggings on lower Lynx creek, which diggings have, of late, paid them very well.
 THE STORM, which commenced during the night of Saturday last, and continued with unabated fury until late last night, was the worst of this winters storms, and many Peo- pie feel thankful for the present Hull in the same. All of Sunday and yesterday, the wind from the south and southwest kept driving the sleet and snow, and people who had to face the cutting blasts and wetting particles had a very rough time of 1t. For the first time in this very watery winter, ar- imals suffered considerable, yet we have heard of no deaths. On awaking this morn ing, four or five inches of wet snow were sls- ible. It is hard, at present, to Hguess the quantity of water given us by this latest contribution, so we will wait until hearing from the Fort WhippIe Hospital, where they keep exact measurements.
 The snow in the mountains must ire very, very deep; and should it go off gradually, miners may expect plenty of water until late m June. The storm was general, so that we feel safe in asserting that Arizona IS now as wet as any of us old settlers have ever seen it.
 At present, the sky looks as if it could not much longer contain the moisture that is in it, and we may ere long, have another fall of rain or snow. We hope ie won't be rain, as, in case of warm rain at this stage of the game, settlers in the low valleys of the Salt, Gila and other rivers would stand a chance of suffering more than they could well stand. ts .tfg5 yS
 Mr Wright, of Los Angeles, California, and Mir Wm. A. Linn of this place, got back from Bradshaw yesterday afternoon. Mr Herbert remained behind to attend to county business. Messrs Wright and Linn had . very disagreeable trip, through snow, etc, but they made their points and appear to be we'll pleased with what they saw in the monarch of Arizona mining districts.
