The death of DR. J. L. Mccormick
has caused widespread sorrow and
regret. He was every where beloved
and respected 6er lis manhood, gen
erous impulses, professional talent
and independence as thinker. A
man Of enlarged views, he maintained
his opinions in the face of apy.oppo-
sition that: might offer, and thus won
the respect of even those who differed
with him. A perfect gentleman, he
commanded tl'e....esteem;..of all with
whom he met or had dealings. A
ply ician of superior accomplish
ment in his profession, his loss will be
keenly felt'r.amopg a large circle
Of patrons when disease afflicts
and his bene6cent-- treatment is
no more to be procured. The
profoundest sympathy will be
felt for his ''ereaved family by this
community and his memory will be
cherished in the hearts..of his. fellow
citizens for many long years. His re-

FROM SAN DIEGO.

SAN DIEGO, June 29.-There are no new developments in the custom-house rob- bery case. The man Williams who was arrested on suspicion, in default of bail, was committed and case continued until next Thursday. There are many theories as 10 the whereabouts of the robbers, the most plausible is that they have escaped with the money into lower California, and it is believed the guarding of COllec- tor Mccormick by two of the robbers all night was to give their confederates a chance to escape with the plunder.
 SAN DIEGO, June 29.-The following par Iiculars are from an interview of The Unions reporter of very daring robbery committed here last night at little after eight o'clock.
 The collector of customs, w. J. McCor- mick, was called to the door of his resi- dence which he was occupying alone, the family being in the country. On opening the door, a man asked if deputy sheriff Miller resided there. Mccormick said no, and was stepping forward to point out Mill ler's house. when the man drew knife and ordered silence, and at the same in Stant second man closed up behind and they ordered Mccormick into the house, when they proceeded to tie his hands and feet and then demanded the key to the custom-house safe. Mccormick said he had no key. They asked: How the al do you open the safe? He said it was a combination, and they demanded the combination, Mccormick said it was not in his possession. They thrust gag into his mouth and searched his person and premises and took a watch and chain and the money Tn his pockets and pocket book, and found in latter a memorandum of the safe com bination. One of the rob- berS went to the cuStOm-hOuse, several blocks distant in the lower part of the city, opened the safe and took coin amounting to over 5000, and about S1000 in greenbackS and returned to collectors residence. The two men remained in the house watching Mccormick until the moon went down, about a. m., when they departed.
 From their talk in the house, it appeared that their confederate watched custom house before and during the robbery. The men were disguised. When the men left, Mccormick by hard work got his feet loose and went to the house of a neighbor. Constable Mclean removed the gag and it was some time before Mccormick could speak.
 Search was immediately commenced by Sheriff HunSaker and County Marshal Knowles. Constable Waring and Fuller this morning found tracks of two men in the dusty road leading from the residence down Seventh street to where they separat- ed and single track was followed to a house where man and woman were found. The shoes of the man who was named Williams, exactly fitted the track, and he was arrested on suspicion.
 SAN DIEGO, July 1.-No new develop ments in custom-house robbery. It is re- ported a government detective will come from San Francisco to work up the case.
 SAN DIEGO, July 2.-The new contractors of the San Diego and Mesilla mail route commenced service yesterday. Their stag es leave San Diego on Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays, instead of Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays as heretofore, and arrive one day later.

THE CITIZEN.
JULY 4, 1874

LAST week, THE CITIZEN gave an ac- count of some San Carlos Indians killing beef and fine bull belonging to Leo poldo Carrillo, some miles northeast of Camp Lowell, and of Capt. J. M. Hamil- tons pursuit. Some of our citizens thought inasmuch as the Indians were out from the reservation on passes, that the Captain should have arrested them all for first view of it; but upon further refec- tion decided it best not to make any ar rests and at once report the facts to the commanding officer at San Carlos. The Captain very soon became convinced that the Indians lied about attacking party of six Apaches and getting the beef from them, for he had positive evidence that the cattle were not killed until some time after the reported fight and beef capture, and that these same Apaches with pass to hunt for Chuntz, were the ones who did the killing. The distances between the place of the reported fight and where the cattle were killed and the Captains camp, taken in connection, with the time, made it certain that the reported fight was a lie. This point clear, Capt. Hamilton argued that it were better to promptly report the facts as stated and not make arrests or ex- cite the apprehension of the Apaches for these reasons: Three of the party were still out, and if the others had been arrest ed, the three might join Chuntz or Chi quito, andit were better to permit them to go to their own reserve and be arrested by the officer in charge of them and who had trusted them with the passes. He also advised Lieut.. Babcock that he be- lieved they would soon return without Chuntz and that they had idled their time away, and made no earnest effort to ex- ecute the duty assigned them. The Captain also recommended that these Apaches be deprived of their rations until the amount equal the loss of Mir Carrillo and in some way compensate him, and thus deal out justice to both sides.
 All and all, we think Capt. Hamilton's course was sensible and will very likely lead to the punishment of the guilty Apa- ches and teach them and others whole some lesson.

Not Responsible.

It seems after all that the United States is not responsible for damages done by Arizona Apaches in Mexico, judged by the following clipped from late number of The Alta:
 A decision of Sir Edward Thornton, umpire of the Mexican and American Claims Commission, seems 10 exempt the United States from all pecuniary respon- sibility for the outrages committed in Mexico by Apaches residing in Arizona The eleventh article of the Treaty of Qua dalupe Hidalgo, signed Tn 1S4S, bound the government of the United States to pre- vent any incursions of savages from it's territory into Mexico; but the subsequent treaty, signed 1854, repealed that article and exempted the United States from all obligations under it. The opinion of the umpire makes no discriminations be- tween losses before or after 1854, and is interpreted to mean that the Apaches can pursue their peace policy in Mexico for ever without subjecting Uncle Sam to any pecuniary damages.

ROME, June 26.-The Pope to-day in re- ceiving a deputation from the Roman no- bility, said the demonstration on Sunday last was a spontaneous and magnificent act of the people; and that the demon stratiOn of Wednesday was the impious and miserable work of the sons of dark ness. He added that he had received let ters urging him to quit Rome because his person was not safe, but he declared he would remain as long as God permits.

WE are informed that quite a number of the soldiers at camp Lowell have made application to Gen. Crook for an order of transfer to the regiments which are about to relieve the Twenty-third Infantry and Fifth Cavalry. We presume the transfer can only be given by War Department order and, under the circumstances, we hope it will be granted. Aside from the attachment shown for Arizona in making the application, the applicants have be- come familiar with nearly every nook and corner of the Apache haunts and would certainly be of very great value in the coming regiments.
