THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1875.
LOCAL MA TIERS.
Shooting AHray.


 About 3:S0 Wednesday morning, Fran
 cisco Esparza, village marshal, shot Pro- copio Leivaz in the lower part of the
 abdomen. There were some words be-
 fore The shooting, but as their extent and
 chara2tfr will be brought out in court,
 we wifi hit further reference to them.
 At first, the wound was thought to be
 fatal, but at this writing (Thursday
 morning) Leivaz is living. Soon after the
 shooting and upon the complaint of Vic
 toriano Escobar, Pedro Robles, Jose An
 drada and George Foster charging an as sault with intent to commit murder,
 Justice Neugass issued warrant for the arrest of Esparza; but just preceding its issuance the Justice went on the ground and found the wounded man in his own tent shot as represented. By four o'clock, Constables Burruel and Rodri- 'guez found Esparza asleep in hls own house, arrested and brought him before Justice Neugass. The accused said he was under the influence of liquor when he committed the deed, and wanted a lawyer on his examination, and 10 a. m. was set therefor; at which time he with J. E. McCaffry Esq, in his behalf, ap- peared in the courtroom, whereupon an examination was waived, and in default of bail in the sum of $25OO, the village marshal of Tucson went to jail to await the action of the district court-the next regular term of which does not convene until the second Monday in February 1876.
 Esparza's own countrymen seemed very much exasperated against him, and had he not been committed to jail between the time of his first and second appear ance before Justice Neugass, he would very likely have met with rough treat ment. At 10 a. m., the courthouse was filled with intensely interested people. As the case will be judicially investigated, we will make no comments farther than to suggest that when any constable, or marshal, or peace officer is known to be drunk, especially when on duty, he should be summarily deprived of his aeffice and never again intrusted with such power.
 Dr. Handy, attending physician, thinks Leivaz will not die though ii is impossible for him to fully recover from the injuries inflicted.

Small Point Made.

"As will be seen by our report of the Supervisors proceedings, the en- tire tax levy-Territorial, county and school-is only $1.75 on each $1OO of taxable property; last year it was $2.45. And by the way we may men, tion that in 1874, Yavapai county't rate was $3. 10 on each $100."
 The Arizona Miner of last week quotes this from THE CITITEN anG then remarks:
 The fact is Yavapai's rate in 1874 was $2.5 50 and not $3. and in 1875 lit Is &2.25 If we are correctly iu- formed, Yavapai scrip Is selling for more than thet Of Pima to-day, which would seem to indicate that she is nearer out of debt. Will new Pima scrip bring 921 cents cash?
 We stand corrected, although our copy was Yuma instead of Yavapai, and the error was not observed in proof-reading. We are very glad to know Yavapai county stands so we'll, financially, and only regret that The Miner is disposed to twist our accident al error into reflection on that coun- ty, when the fact IS that nothing of the sort could be fairly deducted from our article in, which the error under consideration appeared.

The Government Telegraph.

Lieut. Philip Reade, superintendent
 of government telegraph lines in Arl IZona and New Mexico, arrived here bl Hast Saturdays stage. He leaves to-da.
 for Prescott via Camps Grant and Apa che, after which he will go over tn,
 proposed line to Santa Fe via For
 Bayard, in New Mexico. He intends t(
 complete our southern overland con
 nection as soon as possible. And 6
 present ne finds many of the poles SC
 two years ago, rotted off or otherwise
 destroyed. He now has several repail
 parties on the line in Arizona, and vii
 continue them until it is all in gOoC
 order. He has submitted inquiries tC various parties here and elsewhere tC ascertain what they will charge pel pole to deliver substantial redwood ones at certain points. This we be ilieve is with view of asking Con gress to make an appropriation suffi cient to replace the present cottonwood willow and pine poles with the kinc named. In the end it would be econo omy to do it. Lieut.. Reade also pro poses to make experiments with various kinds of poles in different soils, and by and by understand exactly what kind will be most durable.
 With the appropriation originally made to build the line, @ choice of poles could not be purchased, and many inferior ones were accepted and used. And it was better to have used such than not to have had the line. We believe the Signal Service Bureau will be able to present report on the ad- vantages, income, etc., of the govern ment wires in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, that will induce Congress to make sufficient appropriations to repair existing lines and largely extend them. The low rates charged make the lines popular and when properly repair ed with good poles, will more than pay all expenses in addition to the bene- fits that accrue to government by hay ing the use of the lines. In this con- nection, it is proper to observe that only the official business of the mill tary is legally allowed to pass free over the wires. The line was constructed to facilitate military movements, and we believe it will require an act of Con- gress to authorize free transmission of civil business.

THE Los Angeles Express recently. Tn 8 discussion of railroads in it's coun ty, put forth the following:
 We happen to know that negotia lions are on foot by the men who are backing MT. Jones in his Independ- ence road, looking to the acquisition of the franchises of the Atlantic and Pa cifc railway, with the view Of build ing Q through road from Los Angeles Ito St. Louis. This is not romancing in any sense. Heavy English capitalists are interested in the venture, and it will probably be carried through with out delay.

LATE number of The Alta says: A deposit of chloride of silver that prom ises to occupy an important place in the business of the coast, was lately made in the Pinal mountains, Arizona, thirty-tive miles from Florence. The mineral is a chloride so rich that large Jumps of it are worth $12 per pound, and that two men, in five days, dug out ore worth $20,000, or at at the rate of $2000 per day to the man. We do not yet know what the character or extent of the deposit is, but such rich specl- mems as those already sent to this city from the Athens mine, as it is called, usually indicate the proximity of a large body of mineral wealth.

OUR Prescott dispatch shows that the defaulting postmaster Giles has been caught and several thousand dollars of the plunder recovered. We are very much rejoiced, not only on account of his bondsmen and government, but because very bad rogue is meeting with punishment We would say more on this subject, but fear The Miner would up and claim it as a Prescott af- fair, OF which it would be quite impu- dent for outsiders, especially THE CIT ZEN, to comment

WASHINGTON.

WARRINGTON, Feb, l3.--At the ad-
journed Republican caucus last night
sixty Republicans. were present but no
Senators. The discussion commenced
on motion made last night by Smith,
of Virginia, to strike out of the bill re-
ported from the caucus committee, the
section making the carrying or exhib.
iting of arms at Southern polls, for the
purpose intimidation, a penal offense.
Smith objected to discrimination be-
tween the North and South. Willard,
of Michigan, Whiteley and Hale IA.
vored the motion of Smith, declaring
his opposition to the whole bill. Walls
(colored), from Florida, violently OPP
posed the motion, and was followed by
Tremain and Kasson.
The motion to strike out was finally
adopted by large majority. The bill
thus amended will be reported to the
House. 1t authorizes the President to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus in
certain cascs conditionally, increases
the election machinery in the South,
and attaches severe penalties to the vi.
olations of its provisions.
Discussion developed the fact that
half of those present would not be
bound by the action of the caucus.
Some openly declared that they would
vote o. they pleased.
Garfield declared that should the
bill pass it would mean third Presi.
DENTAL term, which he totally opposed.
Speaker Blaine followed, taking sim
liar grounds.
Shsnks favored the bill without
adulteration.
The caucus was inharmonious, some
members declaring the bill would
prove in the highest degree injurious
to the Republican party. Some menu
bers left before the conclusion of the
proceedings. The caucus continued
till after midnight.

scores of those who control newspa.
pcrs is ono of the great and crying
evils of the land. This was exempli-
fed recently in the case of Whitelaw
Reid, who charged in his paper, that
Dawes, of Mass, member of the
investigating committee. was a par.
taker in the Pacific Mail Subsidy, and
yet when called upon. under oath, TO
state the facts, said he gave it a. news,
and that he really had no idea that
Dawes was guilty. but said he was
not bound to investigate all he pub.
lishcd. This loose way of attacking
character is outrageous.
Newspapers have no right to attack
the character Of good and honorable
men, unloss they knoW what they say.
II Is no wonder that such men as
Sumner take occasion to speak of this
despicable character of many journ-
ais.

The annual circular of the "Mercan.
tile Agency" dated February, 1875,
Asss wSftd f. bsfd IL afeat i 4 thUhRtRiis
in bricf, complete report of the bust.
ness failures Of the past year, also for
the three preceding yeare, which are
based upon accurate facts and not up
ON conjectures or surmises. It gives
the total number of failures for 1874,
a. $3.50 for 1873, 5, 1888 ; for 1872, 4,o6s !;
and for 1871, 2,9l5; indicating that as
we progress in years, the number of
disappointments and failures also in
crease. But while tho number Of fail
ures for 1874 were larger than that of
1873, the amount of liabilities were
less. The amount for 1874 being $780,
$4,000, while the amount for the year
1873 was $22s, $4,000. The circular
accounts for this in two ways. First,
that the panic of 1878 caused the fail
ure of en- unusual number of large
houses, thus raising very much the
average amount of liabilities over all
previous years. Second, that the vol
ume of business had been greatly d.
minished during 1874, 80 that when
failures did occur, the liabilities were
comparatively light; and, third, that
the houses which succumbed during
the year were in a greater degree ofthe
class OF small traders than those Of
1873. and, indeed, NO may add, than
the average of those of several proceed
ing wears.
