A VALID CLA1M.-In the last

5 A VALID CLAIM.-In the last
political campaigns in this State,
the southern and southwestern
sections have not carried into
conventions the weight and inhu
ence to which their extent and
number Of voters entltle them,
owing, as we believe, to an impress
sion extant that more or less dis
sension existed among the parish
es composing them. To the unity
OF sentiment and action which
obtains among the northern par
ishes is to be ascribed the domi
nances they have long held in the
Democratic party of Louisiana
and while nothing is further from
our thoughts or desire than to
seek to excite sectional jealousy
on the eve of a campaign which
imperatively demands united ac-
ton, we must. claim for our see
ton the place and consideration
in party deliberations which it
ll"s not before demanded. We
know that not "a single cause of
discussion exists III the large area
comprised in the Florida, South
aud Southwestern parishes and
that unanilnity will be the order
of the day among them in the
coming struggle.

The RETURNING BOARD-Tlle
fact that the Legislature has adj
.journed without repeating the
Election Law, while it destroys
the hopes of reform in this matter
which the broken pledges of the
Radicals held, will tail of the effect
they expect from it, which was to
so dishearten the conservatives
by the hopelessneSs Of entering
the political race handicapped by
a toreg0ne fraudulent count, that
the majority would abstain from
voting. We believe hat the effect
will be the reverse; that our peo
pie will again carry the State
fairly, and enjoy the result of the
victory, or force the general gov.
ernnent to add to the many
counts against the administration
10y y repetition of the outrage of
military interference. We do not
believe that it will dare to do this
on the eve of an election which
may bring INTO power a party
ready to vindirate the constitu
ton and any violation of it. We
repeat that onr people are not
discouraged; they are determined
to repeat the campaign of'74, in.
Gliding, if necessary, the l4th of
September. with the difference
that experience may suggest
other and effectual methods of
dealings with our-treacherous
foes. To the few who would .supine
~ surrender, and i,npotenrly
curse the government which such
surrender would firmly establish,
we say that when the Republi
cans cast Il majority OF the votes,
they are entitled to the SWAY. and
we for one shall CEASE to object
to their exercising il, however we
may cOndem their mode.
In the coming campaign every
man should consider that his
vote is his only protest against
the foul republican ps,.rpation.
and shame upon the Louisianian
who falls to record that protest.

o tempora o mores !

Like a foul ulcer, the corruption
seething and fostering in govern
memt circles at Washington has
broken through the surface, and
the country stands aghast at the
spectacle; first Babc0ck, the
trusted friend Of The President, is
indicted for defrauding the reve
nue., aud, though acquitted on
legal grounds, energies from the
trial tainted in the eyes of the
country; Attorney General Pierre
pont slips the mask of honesty,
and commits perjury at the com.
mand of his master in violating
his oath OF office to shield his
masters friend !; a brief interval,
and then Belknap, Secretary of
War, the man to whom the Re
publicans pointed with pride, the
pet Of society, the supposed type
of soldierly honor, falls to q depth
which Imagination eau. hardly
fathom ; he accepted a bribe, but
that is not an exceptional crime
at Washington ; he violated his
oath Of office, and thereby per
jured himself, but in this he is not
singular tie crime which stamps
him us a bastard almost beyond
belief. which makes oua blush for
the country and race which produ
ced SO rititul Il villain, Is that
when discovery overlook him, he
sought to shelter himself from
JUSTICE behind the shroud of a
dead wife ; in his craven fear he
resorts to an excuse far worse
than the offence charged, aud
forgetting manhood, honor, and
the sanctity OF the tomb itself,
tries to induce the witness to
swear that the money passed sole,
~ to his wife. To the President
be whined "that he had thought
of killing himself" ; were he other
wise than he is, life would be far
harder TO face than. death. Close
OIL the heels of this. comes the
news that the Secretary of the
Navy is charged with extensive
frauds in the award of contracts
in his department, and witnesses
ordered home from China to test
fy against him. Then comes the
case Of Minister Schenk, who used
his official position as Minister to
England to swindle stockholders
in the Emma mine ; and to CAP
the climax, the charge is made
directly that the President him
self is implicated in this shameful
affair. Well may the London pa
pers in commenting on this damn
ing array,agree that it is fortunate
that few countries exist where
such crimes are possible; and well
may Americans blush for our ban
ner torn from its proud height
and trailed by. polluted hands
through this mire OF corruption.

PRESCOTT, May 25th, 1876.

THE SECOND GRAND JURY.-We were present on Saturday morning at the empan- neling and charging of the second Grand Jury called for this term of the Territorial District Court. Judge Tweed in his charge reoited the provisions of law which allow defendants in criminal cases to testify in their own behalf, commenting the law for its humanity and showing that it was as just as it was humane and often afforded the innocent an opportunity to explain away the charges upon which they have been falsely accused of crime. Yet while many were thus enabled to establish their inno- cense very many hardened criminals had taken advantage of an otherwise good law, and added the crime of perjury to those of which they were already accused, and SO common has this pernicious habit become, that it has grown into crying evil, and one that he felt it the duty of the Court to put stop to if possible. After explaining the duties of Grand Juries in general. and this one in particular, the Court presented to the Grand Jury the names of John Ryan, John Hoover and George Bundy, for inves- tigstion and instructed the Jurors that it was their duty to ascertain whether or not these parties should be indicted on charges of perjury for having sworn falsely in their own defense while on trial in this Court

Letter From Camp Apache.
AMP APAcHK.A T., May 10th, 1876.

CAMP APAcHK.A. T., May 10th, 1876.
 EDITOR MINER-Yesterday (the 9th), the body of a man, shot through the head, was found near "Postoffice Hill" about 12 miles from this place, He had on only shirt and drawers, the rest of his clothing having been taken of A pair of blankets suppos- ed to have been white, and pair of over allswere found hidden under a ledge of rocks high up above where the body was found. He was, apparently, shot from be- hind, and the perpetrators of the crime then stripped and threw his body down into the canyon where he was accidently discov- cred by a squaw who had been hunting ber- ries. or something else, near the Hill. He Is described by Messrs Long, Kinnar and Morton who assisted in burying him, as fol- lows:
 About B years old, sandy or forid com plexion, sandy hair. moustache and goate, same color. full faced and about 5 feet in- ches high. Whoever the man was he was, according to all indications, murdered by Indians or Mexicans and he isn't the only one who has been dealt foully with by the red devils around Camp Apache, as NIT. Coo ley and other old residents of this place can testify to- It is, of course, difficult if not impossible, to prevent crimes of this lamen- table sort, but when murdered persons are found on an Indian reservation steps should be taken and that earnestly, to discover the murderers, and no one is more able to learn of these matters, on account of their official connection with the Indian than the Indian Agent himself learn since writing the above that the man found dead left Camp Verde six weeks ago, mounted on a bay half breed California horse to come to this post. He had revolver but no rife, is supposed to have lived in New Mexico, and caTe from there to Verde via Tucson and Prescott.
 MT. Wilbur, freighter for c. P. Head & Co.,, saw him at Verde six weeks ago. Stir up the proper authorities to investigate this matter. We may find some "big Injun" corcerned in it. Yours Respectfully,
 P. S. OKELLY.
