Volume Sixth.
ong Island.

With this issue the Daily HERALD
commences its sixth volume. 1t is
the custom with daily newspapers to
make the reaching of these semi
annual periods occasions for indulging
in few words concerning themselves,
their success, prospect and purpose,
and in compliance with this "time-
honored custom" the HERALD pro-
ceeds to inform its patrons, friends,
enemies and the world in general that
it begins a new volume in good condi-
tion and with favorable prospects. A
glance at the past brings no sting of
regret, and the future, so far as our
human eyes are able to penetrate, re-
veals much that is pleasant to look
upon, and gives birth to comforting
hopes. AS an independent, fearless,
outspoken Democratic journal, the
HERALD congratulates itself on hav-
ing accomplished much in spreading
the principles of Democracy. Little
more than two years ago the oppo-
nents of the Democratic party made
almost clean sweep of the county.
At the election last Fall the Democ-
racy turned the tables, and by a
handsome majority elected, with but
one exception, their entire ticket.
Being the only Democratic daily pa
per in the county, the HERALD feels
proud of result to which its efforts
cont. ibuted so materially. Through
the large Eastern circulation of the
Weekly HERALD we have been ena-
bled to place true statements relative
to the soil, climate and productiveness
of our beautiful valley in the hands of
thousands of readers, many of whom
have come here and are now useful
and valued citizens. The HERALD
commences its sixth volume pleased
with its work, content with its pros
poets, and in an excellent humor with
itself and all the wsrld.

Many too are ignorant of this

the following:
Sergt. VIM. Phoedovius, Signal
Service, u. S. A, who has tenn
porarily filed the vacancy Great
ed by the desertion of Orville K.
TOmpkins, has, in turn, been re-
lieved at Yuma by Private VIM.
E. Guild, Signal Service, who
will probably remain permanent
ly in charge. Mr.. Guild is man
of irreproachable habits, "lOOks
not upon the wine when tits red,"
and deserves the confidence of
the commercial public. Sergeant
Phoedovius' special forte is me-
teorology, and has been relieved
at Yuma to enable him to tempo
rarity take charge of StanwiX. So
soon as relieved from the latter
station by an operator to be oder
ed out from Washington, Mr.. 2.
will successfully visit all Of the
operating telegraph stations in
Arizona and Colorado Military
Telegraph Line, with a view to a
more thorough and practical in
struction of all Signal Service men
in the manipulating Of the instru-
ments, taking observations for the
benefit of agriculture and COM
merce. Sergeant Phoedovius is
highly spoken of by the officers in
charge.

PAVING THE WAY.

w nv - NAa ~ - W
of the world have paved the way
in every step of human progress.
When Columbus, with his small
and poorly-appointed fleet sailed
on that memorable voyage, which
resulted in the discovery of Am
erica, he was paving the way
for mighty events, of which the
world then had no conception.
He was opening up to a wonder
ing world not only a new CONT
nent, but a new hemisphere,
where in after generations, "Free.
dom, from her mountain height
unfurled her standard to the air."
and the Goddess Of Liberty first
found resting place on the face
of the earth.
1t might not be amiss In this
Centennial year for Americans to
reflect upon the countless bless
ings that we, as people, enjoy;
all of which have followed step by
step in the track of those who
paved the way.
When the American Colonies
struck for liberty, Washington
and his illustrious compeers who
drew the sword in that unequal
contest, were paving the way.
When the f1fty-six immortal
patriots signed that document in
which they declared that "these
United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and Independent
States; and that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British
Crown" they were paving the
way for the establishment of civil
and religious liberty.
When the thirteen States be-
gan to be pretty well populated
and the star of empire began to
take its western course, then 9th
er dauntless spirits were found,
who pushed into the wilderness,
and though every inch Of their
pathway was disputed by the sa-
wage foe, and their tracks were
marked with their blood, yet they
paved the way for the many mil
lions who now occupy the richest
and largest portion of the Ameri-
can Continent.
In every step of our advance
ment there have always been
found the fearless piOneers-those
dahntless men, who face danger
in a thousand shapes, and even
death itself, in paving the way
for civilization. And it is so in
other things besides the subjuga-
ton of new countries. It is so in
science, in arts and manufactures,
and in everything that pertains
TO the progress of the world.
When Franklin with mis- kite
first drew the electric spark from
the clouds, he paved the way for
the wonderful discoveries that
were afterward made in the deep
and beautiful science Of electricity,
and which resulted in the genius
Of Morse, putting the lightning
In harness and making it carry
our words and thoughts around
and across the world, wherever
civilized man exists, and some
places where he don't.
Fulton paved the way for the
steamboat. He was laughed at
aud called crazy, but see the vast
result. And so it has always been
in every age Of modern times.
Men have always been found in
every emergency to pave the way.
But it is lamentable to reflect that
many Of those who pave the way,
have laid down their lives in do
ing it. We can count over a hun
dred of our friends and acquaint-
ances who lost their lives in Ari-
IONA in paving the way for civil
cation. All honor to those who
pave the way, and though many

In 1873 Patrick Laney murder

now recalD in this county. The
murder was brutal and coWardly
in the extreme, and the proof pO-
sitive. Laney was tried, convict

We quote the above for the pur-
pose of making a few remarks and
setting our respected contempor-
airy right; for we perceive that
the Enterprise has been grossly
misinformed. Neither of the edi-
tors of that paper were in Mohave
county at the time of said trial,
while we were there, in the Court
at Cerbat, and heard the trial. In
the first place the evidence die
not establish the fact that /" the
murder was brutal and coWardly in
the EXTREME" but on the contra
ry showed that the homicide was
the mildest form of mansIaughter,
if not self defence, and all the bar
and most of the spectators were
astonished when the jury return
ed a verdict of murder.

the Court, remanding the convict.
ed man to Yuma jail. for safe
keeping, The judge then went
eff On a pleasure trip to the Eastern
States, without fixing Q day for
the execution Of the said Laney,
who lay in jail here for several
months, and finally escaped at the
general Jail delivery on the 2Sth
of October following. Now our
Statutes provide in Sec. 435, "of
Proceedings in criminal cases."
that "when the judgment of
death is rendered, a warrant sign
ed by the Judge and attested by
the Clerk, under the seal Of the
Court, shall be drawn and deliv-
cred to the Sheriff it shall state
the conviction and judgment, and
appoint a day upon which the
judgment shall be executed, which
shall not be less than thirty nor
more than sixty days from the
time Of the judgment" Now
the point is this. This man La
ney, lay in Jail here near a hun.
dred days after conviction and be-
fore he escaped, and still there
was no warrant for his execution.
Now every lawyer knows that if
he had been executed after the
expiration Of sixty days from the
time of the judgment, the act
would have been murder, and no
Sheriff would have dared to COM
nit it, under any order. There
fore at the time Laney escaped
he was free from restraint by law.
