FROM SAN DIEGO.

SAN DIEGO, July 21. Following is the de. ciSiOn in the case of the United States against w. J. Mccormick: To warrant a commitments of the accused, the evidence must be such as to afford a strong pre- sumption of his guilt. This is the law governing these cases. l have carefully and impartially examined the evidence and the law presented before me in this case, and find that while there are some circumstances that place the defendant in somewhat unfavOrable light, there are none of character sufficiently strong to warrant, on the evidence before me, a committal, therefore the defendant is hereby discharged.
 D. B. HOFFMAN, U. s. Commissioner.
 SAN FRANCISCO. July 22.-The Alta to- day editorially reviews the testimony in the case of Collector w. J. Mccormick with reference to the current custom-house robbery in San Diego.

A Good Law.

Here is an Act prepared and introduced by Hon. R. c. Mccormick at the late ses. sion of Congress. AS presented by him, it simply provided for the restoration of such lands to the public domain, but the House Land Committee added the pro- vision to offer for sale, and then to protect the early settlers, he induced the Senate to make the additional proviso in their behalf. The bill passed both Houses and was approved by the President:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives Of the United States of America in Congress assem bled, That the Secretary of War be, and he is hereby, au- thOriZed to relinquish and turn over to the Departme of the Interior, for restoration to the public domain, such parts of what are known as the Fort Yuma, Fort Whip pie, and Camp Date Creek reservations in the Territory of Arizona, as may, in the opinion of Secretary of War, be no longer required for military purposes: Provided, That the Secretary Of the Interior shall eX- pose the same at public offering for sale to the highest bidder in the legal subdivisions not greater than one quarter-section when the same can be made, and not below the minimum price provided by law; and any land left unsold at such offering to be held thereafter for disposal as other public lands. Notice of such public sale shall be published for sixty days in two news papers each. one published in the capital of the Territory, and the other circulating nearest the place of sale: Provided fur ther, That bona-fide settlers, upon any part of said lands prior to the declaration of the reservation-lines, shall have right to acquire title to the lands so occupied by them at said time, not exceeding one hun dred and sixty acres each, under the land- laws of the United States.

 THE political situation as regards Dele. gate, may be said to be in a state of quiet ness amounting almost to indifference. Judge Rush having gone out of the field, makes but little difference in point ot interest, for there seemed beforehand an almost stolid inactivity. Of coarse MT. Stevens friends are alive and working away, but as there is no sharp opposition work, it is hard for them to tell just what to do. The truth is that the can yass opened nearly two months too oariF. Arizona can be very well and thoroughly Canyassed in two months, and it has been remarked that enthusiasm aronsed in June and July rarely Keeps is original heat and yigor till November ItIs not certain that the.

THE miners continue to send in mag Fnificent specimens of the precious and other metals obtained in Pima county and within a range of thirty to seventy-five miles of Tucson. Some of the finest ore I've have seen since the palmy days of the celebrated Poorman mine of Owyhee, Idaho, is now coming, in small quantities, into this town. With peace and per ,sistent effort, this section of Arizona will in a few years be developed into very great prosperity.

THE GREELEY TRIBUNE, of Colorado

THE GREELEY TRIBUNE, of Colorado Territory, like the New York city papers, has lately been deyoting some heavy work to the dog question. It is of the candid opinion that 800 dogs might do the canine business of Greeley we'll enough, and hints that less number could do it. It might be little onerous in hot weather, but we think, the year round, 200O of the brutes could transact all the dog business necessary to be done in Tucson. If the number here were reduced to 20O0, it would probably impose upon the children the eating o1 some more food, but they would hardly complain. Too many dogs make worthless ones out of many that otherwise would be of some use, hence we are in favor of sweeping reduction la the number of dogs in Tucson-say down to 2O00. For human population of35OO, we think that number fair allowance of dogs. ..--..-...

 MEN engaged in procuring titles to min ing claims, will do well to carefully read all that is said under the head of "Reduc- ing Reservation" Tn to-day's paper. They will there learn the interest Lewis c. Hughes, attorney ct law ia Tucson, takes iu such business. There are quite num- Der of pplications fer patents now pend ing Ia Arizona, the "ccnsummatlon" of which may be deferred by the business tactics practised by Haghes for his clients. Men who are honestly endeavoring to aid in the development of Arizona and put ting her on an independent and respecta-
 ble business basis, ought to take the measure of Hughes and his concealed clients as regards their efforts to repel capital and discourage requirement of title to mining property-the most pro- dntiye of any property west of the Rocky Mountains. In fact all classes of men engaged in legitimate enterprises, ought to note this kind of men and their opera tiops.

\ Guaymas letter of July II, says;
 No rain in Guaymas yet, although other parts of the country have been deluged.
 Mining intereats are but little changed. Capt. Samuel Tyler, director of the Cie- mega Placer Mining Company, has arrived with some machinery, and intends to inn mediately go to work at the noted placer gold mines of the Cienega. 'r .ai The organization of our Sonora railroad company exists in London. Col. Boyle who proposes to work the Santa Rita mines In your Territory, is connected with it, and I presume you have seen the articles of association incorporated last January 10. rss
 The payment of SIG, 900 monthly by the general government to Sonora, to fight Apaches on the frontier, is stopped; and next month, 1900 regular troops are ex- pected to be stationed along the frontier Se try thoir hands at Indian fighting.
 The government of Sonora is fully satis- ned with the settlement ot tt,e Gro Bianco affair." Gov. Pesaueifa has lost his oldest son, Ramon, aged g. He died at Hermosillo about month ago.
 learn that Carlos Fully arrived safely ct the City of Mexico. The American Consul, Hon. A. Willard and the officials here celebrated the 4th of July at this port in becoming man. ner. The Colonel of the garrison order ed salute of thirty seven guns at sunrise and sunset. The Mexican national flag was displayed over all the public build dings during the day. The State end National officials called on the American Consul, as did also the Colonel of the garrison and his officers in full dress, &C., companied by the band of the 18th regi- ment. The Consul had lunch spread at II 8. m. and some 40 persons of all na- tionalities calfed. Toasts were drank to the Presidents of the United States and Mexico, and the representatives of both countries fraternized in harmony. The people of Guaymas are getting accustom cd to the Fourth But few comments are made on the decision of Sir Edw ard Thornton to the effect that the United States is not liable to pay losses sustained by MeXicans at the hands of the Apaches. The decision is just and there is no doubt but the Mex lean people believe it to be so, although some of them have suffered severely.
