SANFORD vs. .MoELLER.-This case which has been dragging its slow length along in the District Court for the past seven years, finally reached a climax on Wednesday eve ming last. The jury was empanneled to try the case on Thursday of last week and had been patiently listening to testimony and argument of council for six days when the case was finally submitted to them. The court charged the jury that they were to find aspecial verdict on three issues, the first be- ing as to priority of possession of the land in dispute. Second, as to the extent of such possession, and third as to whether or not said land was embraced within the bounda- ries of Fort Whipple reservation at the date of the commencement of the suit The jury found on the first issue that the plaintiff neither in person norby his grantors held prior possession to that of defendant at the time of the alleged eviction of plaintiff by defendant from the premises in dispute, The second issue, being embraced in the first, was not passed upon- Upon the third issue they found that at the time of the com mencement of the suit the premises in dis pute were embraced in the Fort Whipple reservation. The case was ably and care fully managed on both, by quite an array of council on each side and attracted quite crowd of spectators. Messrs. Mas terson, Goodwin, Howard and Southworth attended to the interests of the plaintiff, and Rush & Wells, Hargrave and Alsap those of the defendant. Able arguments were made by Goodwin and Masterscn for plaintiff and Alsap and Rush for defendant. We under stand the plaintiff will appeal to the Su- preme Court.

POLITICAL TALK.

there is absolutely nothing stirring in politics,
and very little outside is Transporting
The old crowd of ofice-seekers still congre.
gate in the ante-room of the Governors
Office, and few favored politicians still con-
tinue to gather in the office itself.
The Governor has changed his Office hours
and has no fixed time for arrival or departure.
and, in consequence, among the ofice-seekers
and persons who really have business there is
much dissatisfaction, and considerable grum-
bling.
Addressed to the Governor, there was re-
ceived at the Executive Office letter ad-
dressed from the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, Milwaukee, Wis, and
signed by ]. Il. Stearns, formerly surgeon
in the United States army, asking the CO.

WAY DOWN IN THE LAND OF
COTTON.
The Grand Jury in Dixie.
The Clippers Case.

The precincts of the Custom House did not
present Thursday morning as animated an
appearance as was anticipated. At u o'clock
the Grand Jury was marshaled to their rooms
and they listened to the testimony of Gen. A.
L. Lee, who was in charge of some cavalry in
this section when the alleged cotton was taken
by the United States troops.
Clippers. the witness that was assaulted in
the. Custom House, did not report, and could
not be found, rumor having it that he has
vamosed the ranch and started for his native
hills in Germany. His wife, however, is here,
and was seen by deputy marshal yesterday.
to whom she stated that when she was going
out of court yesterday she was met by a man
who told her that if her husband came down
to court to testify he would gel more than a
common whipping, if he was not murdered
outright.
This statement 80 terrified the couple that
the husband can not be found, and the wife is
afraid to appear in the Custom-House.
On the other hand, it is said Clippers was a
blackmailer, and wanted money to testify.
His appearance would not seem to justify such
an opinion, for he is pleasant faced, light
complexioned German, uneducated and sim
pie. The government officers are hard at
work sitting the whole business, and the
Grand Jury will have all the facts laid before
them.
Clippers, it seems, once ran an illicit dis.
tillery, and was caught, and afterwards he
was employed by Ferenbach, it is said. He
claims to know considerable about the crooked
business, but said he would not tell anything
to irjure friend.
He has the satisfaction of knowing one
thing, however, and that is, that he has
produced commotiou around the Custom
House.
In the afternoon the Grand Jury were busy
over the Clippers case, who it seems was
found at lass. After long consultation sew
eral true bills we're found, amongst which
were number of old whisky men. The stir
about the jury's chambers was unusual, and
there was considerable excitement as to what
would be the outcome of the Clippers case.
I. is said one of the witnesses before the
Grand Jury was new arrival from Indiana,
who for some years past has been engaged in
the distillery business there.

TIE PARADE TO-DAY.

As in past years, Ireland's day and the day
of Ireland's patron saint-St. Patrick-will
be celebrated and made memorable by q
grand parade of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, the different branches of the Hibernian
Benevolent Association and other Catholic
societies.
For some time past the various associations
have been making preparations for the event,
and the result can be predicted.
st. Patrick's Day is the greatest day in all
the year to the true Irishman, and there is no
doubt that in line there will appear every
member of every society, nor that the parade
will be large and fine one.
