WARRINGTON, Aug Us
There are evidences of determination
to weed out the departments. The
political lines are to be drawn tighter
than ever before, on the principle Ii at
to the "victors belong the sfoils, "
None but Republicans are to be laft on
duty. Every man whose political aen
timents cannot stand the test OF lotai-
ty to the Republican party is to be' de-
capitated, ana his place is to be illed
by another of undoubtcd Republican
proclivities. Don Cameron femnved
an employee of the War Department
las week because he talked too loud
in favor of lilden and Hendricks. Sim
liar discharges have been made in 9th

yet the official axe has hardly fairly
begun its work of slaughter. One
the things which doubtless had some
thing TO do with the dismissal of MIR.
Jones, Deputy First Controller of the
Treasury, is that he was the intimate
personal friend of Mr.. Randall, who
made Mr. Jones office a downtown
headquarters aud always had the free
use of q desk in the office on which to
write. 1t is alleged that Jones gave
Randall some facts and figures which
the latter could not have obtained
from other sources. But their friend
ship was not of recent origin. Mr..
Jones read law with Sam Randall's ia

years. Mr.. Jones is what is styled by

TUESDAY afternoon we took stroll
across the valley to Mr.. Warmers Touring
mill, and found IL running in excellent
order and turning out thousands OF pounds
OF flour every day. There is now a fine
head OF water which will hold its own I'M
til hot weather next May and perhaps In
TO June. In passing over the valley we
inspected Leopoldo Carrlllo's fruit orch
ard, and were pleased to observe his peach
trees loaded down with peaches; in fact,
many Of the limbs were broken down
with the weight OF the fruit and others
would have been but for the props under
them. There must be some wagon loads
OF peaches In his orchard and we saw con-
siderable OF the same fruit in other places,
and this, too, after the market has been
well supplied with peaches for a month.
Ounces and pomegranates are also
abundant, and we understand a good
many figs are growing In the valley.
There seems TO be no reason why all sorts
OF fruit will not flourish in this valley.
Further up and near the Sonora line. ap-
pies are now quite abundant and OF fair
quality.

EDITOR CITIZEN There are few pla
ces that can compete with Phenix in
dancing We have had two parties
within the past ten days either OF
which in point of attendance would
be credit to large city. They were
got up in honor of Miss Carrie Hicks,
a very excellent and popular young
lady, who is about to depart with her
parents to California. She did not at
tend the first one, owing to some una
voidable circumstance, and her friends
determined upon having another one,
which took place last Friday night
and was favored with her presence,
and was a very pleasant affair in every
particular Our Ex-Sheriff Tom Hayes
furnished the music, assisted by W.
McNulty, and no better was ever
danced to in the county. An excel
lent supper was prepared at the Otero
Restaurant and those who partook of
it said with one voice that it was far
the best ball-supper ever prepared in
that place. A new saloon was opened
last week by Jones & Brown, at the
old Kelburn stand. The proprietors
are experienced men in the business
and your correspondent got a cock
tail there the other day that satisfied
him of the fact that it is good place
to take "nip." The district school
commenced last week, Miss Hancock,
sister to Captain W II. Hancock, our
worthy district attorney, is the teacher.
She has taught in different parts of
the country, and is pronounced num-
Der one teacher, and judging from the
SAY so" of her pupils, who all like
her, Phenix has been very fortunate
in securing her services. The farm
ers are all blowing AMI the indications
are that a very large crop will be
planted in the valley this year. No
doubt the average will greatly exceed
that of any previous year Col Wool
sey received twenty new plows a few
days since, all of which are at work
on his several ranches. A project is
on foot to build a town hall, for church
and dancing purposes. 1t is proposed
to form joint stock company. J. d.
MOnihOn, our enterprising livery
man, offers to donate lot and to sub
scribe to as much stock as any one, and
it is thought that it will be built be-
fore the Winter. 1t is very much
needed as we now have to use the
school house for all such purposes,
and while school is in session it is
quite announcement. a camp meet
ing is the coming excitement; it is to
begin next Friday at G. \. Wilson'S
place on the river. Several ministers
will be in attendance besides the lc-

TRES ALAMos, Sept. Is

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Mr Ingham has
written you about the burial of J. c.
johnson. HoOker's party went up the
San Pedro to the scene of the murder
The following night two Mexicans
who had been out hunting, returned
and reported having seen about sixty
Apaches in the hills near the place of
the killing; some on foot and more
mounted. Fortunately some troops
were encamped at Tres AlamOs, Sergt
Geo. II. Eldridge, Co. G, Sixth Caval-
ry, with two men from Camp Grant for
Tucson, and Sergt. J. Dorman, Co. ID,
Sixth Cavalry, returning to Camp Apa-
che from Fort Yuma, with eight men
and two Sierra BlancO Apache scouts.
They were appealed to for help and al
though they had no orders to scout, at
once volunteered to assist, as HOoker's
party might have encountered the In
dians and might then be engaged in
action. Sergt Eldridge, who for for
mer good service in the field against
hostile reds, has been awarded a med
al of honor by Congress, especially
wanted a chance to see the natives
DOrman sent a courier ahead TO Camp
Grant with n note from citizens of this
place asking for aid. This courier,
his name Constantine, stopped at Point
of Mountain, had dinner and fed his
horse. \ telegraph repair party pass
ed by there, and Mr.. Ham in charge
of it, reports that the station keeper
refused To give the courier credit, he
having no money with him, and want
ed to retain theicOur1er's horse for pay
ment. Mr.. Ham says he himself set
tied the bill. This seems incredible,
and is to be hoped will be explained.
Sergt. Eldridge with his two men, and
Sergt. DOrman with SIX of his men
and one of the Apache scouts, Mr.
O'Bryan leading, gallOped up the river
within half an hour of being appraised
of the presence of the Indians. When
they had travelled twenty miles, they
met Rockers party returning, not hav-
ing met the Indians. They found
MOwrey's body within ahundred yards
of the spot where johnson was killed.
Three bullet holes marked his body,
all having entered his back aud come
out of his breast. They buried him
right there IIooker's party and sol
dIers then returned here yesterday.
The sergeants deserve commentator
for their promptness 10 protect the set
tiers, and the facts prove that we have
some soldiers in the Territory who
are not afraid 10 cut loose from red
tape when humanity makes such al
course necessary. Unfortunately there
was no opportunity for them and our
men to avcngc the murder of Johnson

THE celebration OF their Independence
day By our Mexican people on last Satur,
day, was sadly interfered with by rain
which began to fall in the afternoon and
In the evening came down in torrents
causing small rivers OF water to flow In
many streets about town. The principal
features Of the celebration were necessa-
rily postponed until next day, when a
large and very nice procession marched
through the principal streets according TO
the programme which we published last
week. Just before night another heavy
rain fell, but afterwards the sky cleared
up, and speaking, music, fireworks, &c,
closed the exercises. But for the unfavoi-
able weather. the celebration would have
been unusually large and elaborate, for
the preparations were made for grand
time.

COwardIy Attempt TO Commit Muir.
der

Last Monday early in the evening, some
cowardly wretch shot Jose Castillo In the
back, while walking along Main street In
front OF s. II. Drachman's store. The ball
entered the LEFT side of the back near the
backbone and came out In front between
the neck and shoulder, Castillo was sup
posed TO be mortally wounded, but on be-
ing taken TO DR.. Meyers drug store and
examined by DR.. Handy, it was ascertain
ed that the wound though painful, is not
very dangerous.
The perpetrator OF the deed is unknown
TO the public, although it is hoped he will
be found and punished, Immediately af-
ter shootingIh e rapidly ran away. Brave,
good men sometimes shoot another, but
never in the back and then run away.
This is q clear case of unjustifable assas-
sination, and If popular comment can be
relied upon, there is a still further aggra-
waiting feature to the affair. Jose Castillo
was captain in the Pesqueira army when
Pesqueira WAS governor OF Sonora, and
for this reason II is said he was assassina-
ted. II this be true we may reasonably
expect that a Serna captain will be the
next victim, and by and by the privates
OF both sides. IT, was bad enough TO fight
and plumber one another in Sonora, but IL
is worse 10 transfer the fight to American
soil and conduct it by individual assas-
sination. With others here. we believed
the Serna party ought TO be victorious and
such was the result by the overthrow of
Pesqueira; but this renewal OF the fight
by cowardly assassination, cannot be too
strongly condemned, and our authorities
should leave nothing undone to capture
and punish those who do IL or criminally
encourage II. Castillo was in Tucson on
legitimate business. If he Is bad man
as is asserted by more or less people, the
fact does in nowise palliate the crime
committed in the attempt to kill him as
stated. Every good citizen should con-
denim the outrage and try and exert an
influence TO prevent a repetition OF IT,
The safety OF individuals and the self-in-
terest Of the community demand this
course.
