A CARD.

desire to call the attention of the public 10 certain posters, dated on the 18th inst. and signed by F. D. Parker, Deputy U. s. Mar sinai, Sd District, Arizona, wherein he says. David Dodd Chandler, etc., escaped from jail, at Prescott, on the night of May l2th, ls76," etc. Now, the impression made by this statement is utterly false, was so intend ed, and is as malicious as it is false. Chand- Ter has never been in jail at this place, nor in my custody in any manner whatever. It is true that MT. Parker was advised 10 place him in jail for safe keeping, but which ad- vice he saw fit to ignore; he was also notified by the |. 5. District Attorney, two or three days before the escape of the prisoner, that efforts were being made to secure his escape, but Mir. Parker failed to take any steps to prevent it. Furthermore. the general i'm pression of those who know the fact is, that Parker, being advised of the intended es- cape, by good authority, and failing to take any steps to prevent it, was in connivance with it. At all events, it will readily be seen from the above facts that the prisoner es- capped (if he did escape at alb from Mir. Par ker, and not from the jail at Prescott.

THH FOURTH or JULY.-If we cannot have a real old fashioned barbecue, such as our fathers and mothers were wont to in- dulgesin at each recurring anniversary of
 American Independence, let us at least sig
 nalize, the one hundredth return ofthe day by meeting together. reading the Declaration of Independence and hearing from some one or more of the gifted orators in our midst. An oration suitable to the time and occasion with music, dancing or whatever demonstra- tions. may be most agreeable and effective in showing those who are to come after us that We were glad the government had lived hundred years. Without prejudice to other eloquent gentlemen, we confess that person. ally we should be much pleased to hear Judge F. L. B. Goodwin talk on that occa. sion.

HASN'T E.-Notwithstanding the poor
 pay attached to the office of T.. S. Marshal
 that officer should perform its duties faith fully or give it up. We understand that there has never been dollar disbursed in this County in payment of U. s. Grand Ju- TOTS nor other |. s. Court expenses, and that there is much scrip in the hands of our peo- pie. Some of it of several years standing, which it is the duty of the Marshal to pay, and that it is his province to make requi- ton for the amount outstanding in his depart ment and pay it out to the parties entitled to it The District Judge, U s. District Attorney and Deputy Marshal have each assured us that the Marshal promised to be present at this term of court with cash to Ii. }uidate these little defencies, but as vet he ,as not put in an appearance.

By humane provision of the law defen- dants in criminal cases arc allowed to come upon the stand and swear in their own de- fense, the jury to be the judges, as in all other cases, of the credibility of the witness. The accused is not bound to criminate him. self, but this does not absolve him from the penalty of the law of perjury provided he swear falsely. The opportunity to swear falsely in order to escape punishment has tempted prisoners to take advantage of it, and thus defeat the end for which the law was enacted, that of allowing the innocent to explain the circumstances which have led to their accusation. Judge Tweed suspect ing defendants at this term to have sworn falsely has called for second grand jury to investigate the matter.

LETTER FROM PHGNIx.

EDITOR MTSER:-In these latter days the
 District Court was holden in Phenix, termi
 hating on the 5th of the present month, ovel
 which Court the venerable Judge Tweed presided. AS I was not party before tho
 said Court, I will assume the office of re
 porter.
 I notice the case of the Territory vs Louis Davis, for an assault upon W. H Drum. The person assaulted ran away, SC
 as not to appear before the Court as wit. ness, he being bribed by the defendant in
 the case. Phenix desiring the presence of this vagrant who has been warned away
 from most of the towns of this Territory,
 the Court sent its process to Florence by
 telegraph, and byits noble efforts arrested the
 fugitive from justice, who was brought back
 by one of the noble officers of this county
 and lodged in jail in Ph9nix, where he was
 kept, with his wife. who was also witness in the case, during the term of the Court, the taxpayers of Maricopa county paying for their support and the cost of their arrest and transportation from Florence.
 As soon as Drum was put upon the stand his evidence was impeached, as every one anticipated; which makes great cost to Maricopa county taxpayers. Drum, on ao- count of his flight from the process of the Court, was fined by the Hon. Judge Tweed the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars. The same fine might as we'll have been on fly or beetle with as good hopes of collec- ton. The defendant in this case was fined four hundred and fifty dollars for striking the vagrant Drum.
 The next important case was one where cyprien had assaulted one of her own kind, both Mexicans. The case had been tried in a Justices Court and dismissed without fine; but our irraciblc and unsuitable Prose- cutting Attorney so worked the case up be- fore the Grand Jury, that he secured bill, the result of which was that the defendant was fined two hundred and fifty dollars Our Prosecuting Attorney, enlivened by his brilliant success in this, his last case, caused the convening of second Grand Jury; all of which adds to the shrinkage of the pock- et-books of the taxpayers of Maricopa county.
 This new Grand Jury, by some remarka- ole means provided by the District Attor- ley, found out that it was possible for lot 'f Mexican cypriens to swear to lie, the of which is (the Court not hay ng time to try the easel, Maricopa county las four bawdy prisoners to keep until its lext term, which is held in September next, Ill of which comes out of the pockets of he honest taxpayers of Maricopa county, trough the heroic efforts of our noble Dis | rict Attorney. JUSTICE.

REPORT oFaTHE GRANDJURY.
Third Judicial District Court. May term. ISy
 Judge C. A. Tweed, presiding.

I Third Judicial District Court. May term, IsyG Judge C. A. Tweed, presiding.
 The Grand Jury of Yavapai County, Ter ritory of Arizona, for the May term of 1876, respectfully report:
 That they have faithfully acted upon such business as was brought to their notice by 1 the District Attorney, and have devoted all reasonable time to such other matters pertaining to the welfare of the County, as was brought to their attention. In accOr- dance with the recommendation of his Honor Judge Tweed, we have visited the County buildings, inquiring into their con- dition, and the books and accounts of the offices connected herewith.
 The county jail appears to be clean and comfortable so far as circumstances will allow. The fence around the jail, we find to be decayed and worthless, and in its con- struction calculated to aid the escape of prisoners. The cells we find to be unsafe and unhealthy-such state arising from the decayed condition of the walls The cells being too few and contracted in size for the number of prisoners confined: Wherefore, the Grand Jury do most earnestly recom- mend that steps be immediately taken for the construction of new, substantial, and we'll ventilated jail
 We find that some relaxation from strict custody has been allowed, when dictated by the condition or good conduct of the priso- ner, and so far as known, with commendable results. The freezing condition of the cells in winter and their closeness and unavoida- ble impurity in summer, have induced the Sheriff to grant such latitude in this respect |. L
 The offices of the County Recorder, Clerk of Board of Supervisors, and County Treasu- l Ter were inspected and their books and &C., | counts with the several County officers, | found to be kept in a very creditable man. ner, alike favorable to the County and pres ent incumbents.
 The books of the Justices of the Peace were examined, and their civil and criminal dockets found to be commendable for care and neatness
 In case of Territory of Arizona vs. Jesus Chaves, the Grand Jury recommend con- tinuance of same to the next Grand Jury, owing to the absence of witnesses.
 The Grand Jury further recommend to the Board of Supervisors, that they inquire into the desirability of constructing a suitable Tault for the sure protection of the County records against fire; and also, take means to ascertain by what right toll-gate is con. tructed on the road from Prescott to Eh- enberg, and toll levied and collected from passengers thereon.
 The Grand Jury report in conclusion, hat they have found three true bills; that hey in two cases failed to find bills. and ave recommended continuance in one instance, owing to absence of witnesses.
 All Of which is respectfully submitted.

ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE TN.
 DER CoNTRAcT.-C. P. Head Co. have this
 week let contract to Campbell Parker
 to build an elegant and very extensive brick
 store on the site of their present location,
 corner of Montezuma and Gurley street, in
 cluding the open space lying between there
 and Dr. kendall's drug store, and running
 back to the alley-covering the property for
 merly owned and occupied by T. Otto as
 barber-shop and money brokers office. The
 building will be 90 feet front and l25 feet
 deep. The main sales room fronts on Cur
 ley with side entrances on Montezuma. will
 be 25xlO0 feet; the room next 10 Kendall's
 :2x6o. Immediately in the rear of this room
 will be private office l6x22, and the count ing room in the rear of the latter will be lsx22. In the rear of all and fronting on the alley will be the storage room or ware -house extending in length the whole width of tho building, 50 feet, this room is to be 25x5O feet. The night of the rooms to the ceiling will be IA feet with front elevation above the ceiling of ten feet and S-foot fire-waIls all round. The front is to be ornamented with heavy brick cornice in two rows, and the front doors and windows of heavy pla,e- glass, and the openings all protected by tine most substantial iron shutters. Mir. Parker has shown us his plans and drawinys. from, which We make these notes, and it strikes us that for convenience, as a general mer- chandise establishment, the design is as nearly perfect as human ingenuity could devise. Messrs. Campbell k Parker have sub les the foundation and brick-worh to Messrs. Robinson & Hill, who will proceed immedi- a'ely with the work with a view to get the walls up in time to get the roof on before the Summer rains begin if possible.

steel Hawsers.

The introduction of large ships of
war has rendered the d-fashioned
hawsers comparatively useless. 1t
is found impossible for men to han
die larger cables and hawsers than
are used for 5000 ton vessels. For
this reason some new experiments
have been made with steel hawsers
at Davenport, under the authority of
the British Government. The steel
hawser used was 8 inches in circum-
ference against hemp one 25 inch
es in circumference. The report as
to handiness in working was entirely
in favor of the steel wire hawser.
Another great consideration is that
100 fathoms of 24-inch hemp cable
weighs 7.16 tons, while the same
number of fathoms of 8-inch wire
cable, which is equal to, if it does
not exceed the strength of the other,
weighs only p tons. The wire rope
which was tested is equal in strength
to p inch chain, the weight of
which would be 16 tons.

The New York Herald OF the 10th
ult. publishes statement from the
cabin passengers of the Pacific Mail
steamer Colon, which just arrived
from Aspinwall, to the effect that
during the entire trip the berths and
state rooms we're in disgraceful
condition, being constantly overrun
with ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and
other vermin. They also state that
the food was abominable, the meat
tainted, and for the Lash four days the
passengers we're compelled to sub
sist on salt fish, pork and bacon. The
furnishing Of the table, they say, is a
disgrace to the company, and the
general scarcity and unwholesome-
ness of the food were a feature OF the
whole voyage. The. statement con-
cludes: +" For these reasons and 9TH
ers equally good We protest against
our bad usage, and warn she travel
ing public against exposing them
selves to similar experience, which is
due entirely to the niggardly policy
OF the Pacific Msil Steamship Com
pany."
