ANOTHER BREAK-The fruit store of Fred
Walker on Congress street was entered Thurs
day night and about $50 in money and 1000 ci-
gars taken. The thieves effected an entrance
by unlocking the back door. Officer Miles
found man on Fore street the same night
with box containing about 1000 cigars, but
while the officer was looking at the box the
man escaped. The cigars evidently came from
Walkers store. This is the forth or fifth time
that this store has been entered the same way.
The police profess to know who the thief is.

had committed adultery. On the contrary, he
asserted his mistaken confidence in his wife's
purity, and complained only of impure solcita-
ton.
Another Mans Experience with Tilton.
Ex-Supervisor Harmon, who, like Mr.. Beech
er, is one of our well known and respectable
citizens, testities to substantially the same ex-
perience with Tilton as to the nature OF the
charge. Mr.. Harmon further testifies not only
that Titon read to him the "true story, in
which there was no allegation of adultery, but
that Tilton described to HIM his first interview
with Mr.. Beecher on the evening of Dec. 3Oth,
and then informed Mr.. Harmon that he at
times charged Beecher with offences OF lmpro-
per advances. Mr. Harmon explicitly states
that in all his conversations, which were nu-
merous, with Mr.. Tilton for more than two
years, he at no time alleged adultery as the
offence OF which he complained.
The testimony before the committee shows
similar statements by Tilton to other persons
up to recent period.
Tiiton's Statement Inconsistent.
The further fact that Tilton treated the mat
ter during four years as an offence which could
be properly apologzed for and forgiven, is
wholly inconsistent with the charge in its pres
ent form. Tilton in his written statement COM
plains that Beecher ''abused his clifton for
glyeness." 1t is believed no case of adultery
on record can be produced where an injured
husband upon learning of his wife's inhdelity,
kept the fact to himself for six months and
then, after private complaint to the offending
party, receives and accepts an apology for the
offence and declares it forgiven, and this fol-
lows by restoration of the courtesies of friend
ship.
All these and other considerations to be here
after referred to show that in no event could
the offence have been adultery. 1t might have
been the charge of the lesser offence, but it is
not conceivable that Tilton, in view Of his con-
duct, believed even that.
Still further, that the SO called apology was
not for main offence, Tilton himself, in his
cross-examination clearly proves MARK his
words He says that the day after it was pro-
cured. he was in Moulton's room and there met
Mr.. Beecher, when the following scene occur

The recent horrid butchery of men, wo- men and children, by Apaches, near old Camp Grant, in the southern part of this Territory, is another proof of the folly of sending such men as Gen Howard to treat with such hellish scoundrels. It was near this scene of the massacre that, in May, 1872, Gen II. made with these same Indians 'treaty of peace" which he sverred would be lasting. We said, at the time, that the Apaches, not withstanding their promises and oaths on the cross, would very soon forget their obligs- tions, break this treaty and laugh at the fools who pretended to believe them in earnest.
 They have done all these things, by words and acts, of which their last act is not the least, and to the account thereof, as published on the first page of the Weekly MINER, we direct, yes, crave, the attention of Eastern readers of the MINER. for proof of the worth lessness of policy that, instead of cOmpelI- ing Apaches 10 keep the peace, Jribe, them to do so.

We have grown tired, waiting for capital ists to come and work our quartz lodes and would hail the organization of a company of hard-fsted miners, backed by home capital ists, who would secure one of the many idle mills here, select good lode and start work. With George Hogle, Philip Richardson and one or two other men We might name, at the hesd of such company, and the right kind of lode and mil-site, we would have but little fear of the result, and to prove that we are in earnest, we will help such . com pany with whatever cash we can get hold of. It is really too bad, this talk about hard times, in country whose every mountain is richly threaded with good lodes of rock, car rying gold and silver in abundance, and which only needs one successful operation of this kind to. induce hundreds of monied men to come here and make of the Territory a second Nevada or Colorado.

BUcKBoARDs, or, as Bill Cole terms them, ing on our people and the country as Indians used to be. Nobody who can help it will ride on them, since they are open to the weather and many other serious objections. But, as they are the vehicles used upon two of the important mail and passenger routes in our Territory, many people are forced to ride on them, ride person never forgets, since, owing to their openness to their lack of proper seats to an entire want of supports for head and back, ride upon one of them is torture most fearful.
 Added to all these drawbacks and discom- forts arc very long stretches between stations, and, of course, long drives for teams, which frequently weaken, causing drivers to whip l and talk great deal and passengers to foot 1t; and it costs about as much to run the thing. and keep them in repair as it would to run and keep up decent covered ve- hcles yet, for some reason the mail men run them and so keep on bruising passen- gers, wearing out drivers and soaring people from making the trip to Arizona.
 Let us hope that, 'ere long, mail contrac- tors who use these racking vehicles will em- pioy better means of transportation, more and better stock, or cease offering induce. ments to people to take passage on the darn cd things. Another thing, of which passen- gers lately arrived from California complain, is the poor fare kept at the stations, espec- tally those on the California side of the Colo rAdo river, where, AS one man says, "the cooks are careless, the cook houses and dining rooms dirty and the fare not fit for hog.n

iPrOm Thufsday's Daily.i POLITICAL.

The call, to "arms," of Judge Rush to the Democrats of this Territory has awakened a little party feeling, which may culninate in the organization of the Democrats of the Ter ri,ory under the old banner that has so often spread it's folds over and above those whom it has led to victory. True, months intervene before voters will be called to buckle on their armor and engage in open political work, but, the leayen is now quietly working, and us stitch in time Is said to save nine, the Democrats may, in the event Of organi. zation, lose nothing by thus early moving in the matter oi putting together the various parts of the party ediiice, the main purpose of which appears to be q desire to rule out our present Delegate in Congress, and sup plant him by some dyed-in-,he-wool Demo crat and resident citizen of the Territory.
 The MINER has, for several years, paddled its own canoe, independent oi political parti- sans--a course that has pleased more people than did it's former course, and one upon which we may never turn. But, it is untram- melled owes nothing that it cannot pay, and, at the sound of the political tocsin, may go for the man it shall think most capable and acceptable to it's commanders peo- pie of Arizona
 As for organizing parties, we very much doubt if the time has come for that, unless, indeed, party whose purpose it shall be to aid and assist the men of labor to get full pay for everything they raise and do, is in or der, and we think it is.
 With questions of State; that is, of the political policy or principles now governing the country, Arizonans have very little to do, they being denied voting participation in our National elections, and no vot- ing representative in Congress, so that th1 most, the best, We can do in this line is to send good, earnest, active, intelligent man to Washington one who will not forget that he is an ArzonAn and the servant of the Territory.
 At present, it is not known here whether or not MT McC ormick will try for A fourth term in Congress, but, should he conclude to do so, he will run on his ancient independent platform, and by so doing claim bis old sup port, which, all know, has been sufficient to elect him, ard "knock the spots of his oppo- nent" In this case, Republicans will be un. able to organize, and many Democrats will say that it would be unwise to swap horses while crossing dangerous stream. One thing is, however, sure, and that thing is that, unless Mir Mccormick returns fortified by some healthier Congressional work for his constituents than he can now boast of, hi. way back to Congress will be beset by voters who will leave no stone unturned to trip him up. This section of the Territory wants bet ter mail facilities, and, should he not procure it, voter. who formerly supported him will never again cast their ballots in bis favor.

Buy AT HoxE.-Arizona wholesale deal- CTS say that they offer every inducement to small dealers to purchase all kinds of sup plies, at home, but that, instead of doing SO. these dealers, especially those who retail liquors, give their orders to drummers from San Francisco, who light down here, semi -oc- casionally, stay short time and again put out for the city, with orders for trade which, by right, belong to such large snd fair deal ing houses as Wm B. Hooper < Co, of Yuma and Ehrenberg, c. P. Head & Co, and Levi Bashford, of Prescott; ]. Goldwater X Bro, of Phnnix Fish & Co.,, Florence; Fully, Ochoa & O., Lord & Williams, and E. N. Fish & Co, of Tucson, which firms employ book keepers, clerks and others who, unlike the ''drummers" heretofore alluded to, spend their money in Arizona. This is, of course, little selfish, but it is the only true plan to help home folks and home enterprises, which is, or ought to be, the guiding rule of all Ari- zonans.

PEOPLE CoNrsG.-0ur fellow townsman, J. H. Beban received, by recent mail, a let- ter from Mir. F. c. Ayers, formerly of this place and now of Pioche. Nevada, in which MT. A. states that great as is the excitement throughout Nevada, regarding the San Juan country, Arizona stands fairer than that country and will surely get, in the spring, n large immigration from Piochc and vicinity. Our wet winter, Mir. A. says, coupled with the fact of the richness and accessibility of our country, is going to work wonders for us.

The M,fn wil. in justice ;o farmers. frc. ,A'crs Aul other poor. hard working citi. zen, ot tnr Territory, again aIlrc-s the men who on Wednesday. March i,h, next, D" here in rcr-,n. or by proxy, bidding io7 grain, hay. wool and freight contracts, with the hope that the advice and pleadings which have heretofore appeared in its columns, will no, be forgotten or lost sight of. In doing so, we speak but the wishes and desires of the working classes, who, in the event of low prices, will h.yc before them another year of unrcmuneratiyc toil We have it from good authority that there is not much old grain in the Territory that the farmers oi the great producing valleys have not, this year. planted much barley; that they are, and have been, economizing, and will surely make it warm for all who may contract to furnish barley, etc, at low rates.
 And, now, a word for some of the mer who will bid for contracts. They last veal credited many farmers, have taken pay 1T grain, which grain they yet hold, and wist to get rid of at almost any price, since, by shrinkage and other losses, they cannot do not expect to get even upon it. But, these men with the farmers, can, if they so desire combine and rule out persons who have nc grain of their own,-middle men, who arc sure to put in low bids, and it is such a course we earnestly advise farmers and storc-keep CTS to take. Their interests are, or ought tc be, identical, for, when the farmer, freighter laborer and those with whom they spend a portion of their earnings are we'll off, mer- chants certainly sell more goods, and, as they pretend to desire no greater earthly blessing than that won by "quick sales and small profits, they should, most assuredly, if they can, help to bring about such result.
