Joseph Ply, jailor of Pima county,
arrived here by stage from Tucson. last
Thursday, having in charge William
Hail. sentenced for life for murder.
Hall is one of the four convicts who
escaped from the Pima county Jail
some time ago and made their way

VIM. M. Hughes, ESQ.,, the celebra-'
ted inventor of the machines for dress
ing hemp, ramie and flax arrived here
by the San Diego stage last Wednes-
day morning. Two of these machines
are now at the colony at Lerdo, and
Mr.. Hughes will go down there and
instruct the people how to use them.
Messrs. l.. ~. Smith and John Mar
kle came in few days since from Salt
Spring, on the Tucson road, where
Wolfskill & McGeary stopped to shear
their five thousand sheep that they
recently drove out from California, land
informed us that the job of shearing is
completed and the yield of wool very
large. They say that the fleece of
some of the high grade sheep weighed
over seventeen pounds to the sheep,
and that the average of the whole
flock, lambs and all, will be at least
six pounds. This wool is now being
hauled into Yuma and will be shipped
to San Francisco.

Oatmeal ior ihe Complexion.

Oatmeal contains a small amount of
oil that is good for the skin. TO make
the hands soft and white, one of the
best things is to wear at night large
mittens of cloth filled with bran or oat-
meal and tied closely at the wrist. A
lady who had white, soft hands, con-
fessed that she had a great deal of
housework to do, and kept them white
as any idlers by wearing bran mittens
every night. The paste and poultices
for the face owe much of their efficacy
to their moisture, which dissolves the
old coarse skin, and to their protection
from the air, which allows the new
skin to become tender and delicate.
Oatmeal and paste is as efficacious as
anything, though less agreeable than
the pastes made with the whites of
eggs, alum and rosewater. The alum
astringes the flesh and makes it firm,
while the eggs keep it sufficient
ly soft and the rosewater perfumes the
mixture and makes the curd not so
hard.

as has been stated '.'.'''''M Much indignation
has been aroused, in the North and West, at

the prevalent political morality, tor them to
have taken advantage of that opportunity.
But they did not do so. They voted for the
preparation of the address in order that they
might have the case investigated, and be-
cause of the plausible and serious nature Of
the charges preferred against me- After they
had heard all that was said on both sides,
they voted against the address, and, in my
Judgment, acted not only justly, but very
generously y, and feel deeply grateful to them.
Reporter How do you regard the election
of YOUR chief prosecutor, Senator Dunn, to
the office of mptroller-general ?
Treasurer. It is but natural that l should
feel deeply offended at such an unjust and
persistent attempt on his part to prove fraud
against the State on my part, charge which,
if established, would have ruined me PERSONAL
" and politically. We differ as to our duties
under the funding act. He thinks that no
detached coupons should be funded, because
they have originally been issued improperly.
I believe, as I said before, that while that
may be true, it is neither legal nor equitable
to make those who now hold such coupons
suffer for the wrong doing of the agents of the
State, and that it would be best for the inter-
ests of the State and her credit that such cou.
pons should be funded, as the law authorizes
them to be funded. He thinks also, or did
think, that no hypothecated bonds should be
funded, although the law distinctly authori:
zes this to be done. As comptroller.general
I do not know what will be his course with
regard to these things If be has entered
upon the discharge of the duties Of his office
with the determination to assist Gov. Cham.
berlain in the execution Of his policy, he will
find cordial coadjutor in me, whatever may
be my personal opinion of him.
Reporter. Do you think that the Governor
will be successful in carrying out his reform
policy to the close of his term Of Office?
Treasurer I have watched the Governors 8
courses since his Inauguration with the keenest
anxiety, and have been greatly delighted at
his extraordinary courage, and his fidelity to
his promises in his every act I think that
he will solve the problem of reconstruction in
South Carolina peacefully. AS long as he
continues in the course he is now pursuing,
and have not the slightest fear Of his doing
otherwise, 1 shall regard it as an honor and a
pleasure to aid him to the best of my ability.
This terminated the interview, and your
correspondent took his leave of the treasurer
and the State capital at the same time.

bullion dealers on buying it up. The new
coin, therefore, as fast as it appears, under
such condition of the gold premium, will
disappear from circulation and 60 out of the
country in the ordinary way of export. Yet,
meantime, the fractional currency will be des.

most necessary form of circulation without
having any certainty that we can permanent
ly replace it by another.
