Gen. Crook a Complete Brigadier,

The following dispatch from Senator Kelly speaks for itself:
 WASHINGTON, January 14.-To General George Crook: l congratulate you on your confirmation by the Senate as brig adier-general of the U. $. army.
 JAMES K. KELLY.
 Our readers are aware that the Senate hesitated to take this action because of an apparent legal prohibition, but a full and complete examination of the laws on the subject convinced senators that the con- firmation could be legally made, and act ed accordingly. We are of opinion that a less popular and deserving officer than Crook would not have led to the same ac- ton, for our advices are that there is a very strong disposition to reduce the rank of the army, and as soon as the present heads of bureaus die, resign, or are retired that instead of brigadiers, colonels shall take their places.
 The whole country, the President and Senate felt that Crook had earned briga- diership and were determined he should have it, if not clearly illegal to give it to him. Of course there were over forty col onels and few lieutenant-colonels whose rank naturally made them desire Crooks defeat-their own interests smothering all their care for a proper reward of merit. We knew this from the beginning and feared they might excite formidable oppo- sitiOn to the confirmation but said noth- ing for obvious reasons.
 Even had the Senate declined to confirm Gen. Crook, no dishonor would have re- suited to him. His merit and good servi- ces had been almost universally admitted. The press of the country, the President and cabinet had announced a preference for Crooks advancement over more than forty officers who ranked him. This com pliment was higher mark of distinction than has ever been awarded to an officer in times of peace in the history of our country, and no adverse law or other sue cessful obstacle to his confirmation could dim the lustre of 1t.
 We heartily congratulate General Crook upon the completion of his appointment as brigadicr-general.

ON Wednesday morning this communi-
 ty was thrown into much excitement by
 the act of a person who ought, if certainly
 discovered, be tied UP, given fifty lashes
 on the bare back and but Q few hours to
 start for permanent residence elsewhere
 The circumstances are these: A letter purpOrting to have been written by M O'Reilley, at Reilley'S station near Camp Grant, on the Sth, was found by I. Gold berg, having been showed under his store door before business hours. It set forth that ESkiminZin'S band Of Apache's had, the day before, attacked Goldberg's mule train, Wounding two of the teamSIcrs and getting away with all but about twenty animals. It was sometime before the let
 ter was recognized as a forgery by those who knew Mir. R.'s penmanship, and Mr. Goldberg was in no mood to philOSOphiZe and therefore himselfan and wife were great ly alarmed. Very soon, privates Louis
 Fritz and Marvin Trask, NJ Co.,, 5th Cav
 airy, heard of it and showed by their off
 cial pass, dated the Iith, that they had three days after the reported attack pass
 ed over the ground and that there was no truth in the forged letter. These two sol
 dierS are fine appearing men and undoubt- edly truthful. On Thursday MT. Godberg'S wagon-maSter came in and reported all
 right and the train will be in to-day.

THE weather of the week has been day it was cloudy with now and then a sprinkle of warm rain, and Sunday night considerable rain fell, making the streets quite muddy. Very little rain fell on Mon day and clouds hung round on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mostly clear and remarkably mild. We are much pleased at the return of such warm days and nights, for the thieves who steal our wood can let up little and have lighter cOnsciences. The sky is overcast this morning and a little rain falling. Air is mild.

THE Supreme Court of Arizona met last
 Monday as required by law-judges Titus,
 Tweed and Porter all being present with
 o. Buckalew clerk. Cases were called
 Monday and set for argument. On Tues
 day, Wednesday and Thursday arguments
 were heard in different cases and the court
 adjourned over Friday till to-day, when
 we are informed the entire business of the
 term will be disposed of-except probably
 the filing of some opinions thereafter. In the course of arguments, in one or two cases, the power Of the judges to fix
 the times of holding the district courts and incidentally the jurisdiction of tn es e courts entered into the discussions. The questions are of very grave importance to the several counties as well as to litigants generally. We are not disposed to dabble in
 this matter and therefore have requested Governor Bashford and J. E. McCaffry to supply us with a written synopsis of their arguments and positions for print, and they have promised us the matter which will appear next week with any opinion
 the court may render touching the subject THE CITIZEN will also contain other opin- ions, or explicit abstracts of them, which the court may file, deeming all such of
 special importance to the people.
 Judge Porter expects to leave for Yuma
 by tO-day's stage and Judge Tweed intends to remain in town awhile longer.

JAMES LEE has verbally and by circular letter announced himself an independent candidate for sheriff of Pima county at the ensuing November election. MT. Lee was induced to take this step not so much on his own motion as upon the urgent re- quest of many substantial and good citi xens. That he will be elected, there can hardly be doubt; and that he will make an efficient officer, none who know him well will doubt. If he have opposition, it cannot be upon any ground unfavOrable to himself. He is one of the very best of citizens, and hard working, upright man. He has done much to open mines and de- velOp the country. He is a producer and & believer in a prosperous future for Ari zOna. We believe he has never before sought office, although solicited to do so. He is popular without ever having made any special effort to gain popularity. His long residence and continued business ac- tivity have made him widely as well as favOrably known.

IT NEVER DID RuN ssroorH.


There was wall of woe by night
in the upper part of the future great
city--it is nobody's business just where
land a young man stood under the
stars, minus a hat, and his wearing
apparel was sorely demoralized, The
young man was apostrophizing some
unknown persons eyes, his limbs and
his circulating fluids. His language
was such as might have been con

young man was somewhat displeased
