that could be construed into usurpation of
 power, before we put too much confidence in
 what appears to be a determined effort for
 his removal on the part of at least respect
 able number of the leading citizens of Tue
 son, not alone because of his opposition to
 tine public schools, as We have seen in the
 case of the member of the board of supervis-
 ors who voted last winter for the corporate
 scholl bill, but for some other, and if we mey
 be allowed to question the good faith of so
 lage number of respectable gentleman,
 perhaps not so valid reason, or reasons. We understand the Supreme Court of the
 Territory did make an order directing the board to pay certain jury fees, and that Jus
 tice Tweed delivered the opinion of the
 court. which was concurred in by Chief Jus
 tice Dunne and Justice Porter. The charge
 that he acted partially in connection with
 fraudulent election returns is new and incom- prehensible to people here, and in order to
 be effective for the purpose of the removal of the Judge from office, certainly ought to state some facts connected with the fraud and the Judges partial action thereon none of which do we find in the document.
 What act of the Chief Justice, other than | his opposition to the schools, has forfeit ed the confidence of the three attorneys and | four county officers Is not stated other than ] that his rulings and decisions are partial, without citing wherein or how, and substan- tiated by no proof.
 The city council say Che is producing a feeling of insecurity for life, liberty and prop erty," without giving any reason or proof and some eighty citizens very truthfully state that 'he has bitterly assailed the com mon school system of the whole country as well as our own, in such manner as to show that if left in office his whole influence, per 'onal as we'll as official, will be employed to iestroy the common schools of Arizona" This Is the strongest point made, and, indeed, s the only one proven, so far as the petitions how. He has done great wrong to the people, and especially to those who are to oc- upy our places in the years that are to come, v up SllHG anu CdSllIS q loud over the admirable school system of ' Arizona, and deserves to receive whatever T punishment is due to such wrong, and if he | guilty of partiality on the bench, should T ake what it brings; but in bringing grave | harges like these they should be accompa- | jed by explicit statements of the facts al- s 'ged and the facts should be susceptible of U roof. o With Judge Dunne in his official capacity n , Judge of the First Judicial District. we. e Yavapai, have nothing to do, and the peo- g e of his district have an undisputed right p petition for his removal, but as Chief Jus n ce of the Supreme Court he is the common u operty of the whole Territory, and all p ould have an equal say. It was most cl fortunate day when he allowed himself n' be enlisted in foreign crusade against dl e fundamental principle upon which rests e chief corner stone of American liberty. co It because he has done this let us not IS arge him with other crimes and convict pl m of them without proof. Sl The records of the court are accessible or these charges .of fraud and partiality bu ould be shown up. ha
