INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Judge French, in rendering his decisisn in the dissolution of injunction, placed upon Secretary Hoyt, restraining him from nov ing the property and effects belonging to the Territorial Capital from Tucson to Prescott, wisely says
 ''The sole and only ground set up in the plaintiffs complaint for the injunction, is that the Ninth Legislative Assembly of this Territory was an illegal body and that all its acts are totally void. and therefore the acts of the Secretary under them would be . great public wrong, all these allegations are conclusions of law, not statements of facts. The bill in iiS general form is we'll drawn. IL Is clear, consecutive and precise in its statements. The defects are in its substance the subject matter. If Is based on the le gal proposition that all the acts of the last Legislature are totally void. This in reality iS only legal opinion. The plaintiff swears that these acts are void The defendant de- nies this in substance. II these acts arc void. or should ilc declared void by compc- tent authority. the results would be far reaching and most disastrous. If void, these acts should not he published or promulgated. Ii these act> aTo void the terms of Court created by them, and some of which have been held by my associates and myself, in Mohave. Maricopa and Pinal counties, are of no binding force or authority, and all the at fairs of this great Territory would be thrown iuto the most dreadful disorder, lawlessnesS Rnd confusion.
 Before any tribunal could sustain a pro position leading to such disastrous results, II should not only haze the power but the case and the law should be absolutely clear and free from any particle of doubt Courts cannot iegislate.
 There is one power that can nullify and set aside the acts of ihe Legislative Assem- bly of the Territory, and one only, and that Is the legislative branch of the Government. The last Legislature was a recognized acting de facss legislative body and its acts must be recognized nor only by the Courts of this Territory, but by all the Courts of the coun- try till legally nullified, and we cannot le- gslly presume or with reason assume that Congress will declare all the acts of a Ter ritorisi Legislative Assembly void.
 The Injunction heretofore granted on the eist day of April, 1877, on the complaint in this cause having nothing to support if, mus, be and isdissclved. and it is so ordered.

MaiI-Rider Killed by the Indians.
BOWIE. May %. 1871.

DoNlE, MAY ~, lcat.
 The commanding officer of Bowie reports the killing ot the mail-carrier going west, four miles east of Bowie, to-day. by the h. disns. The body was striped when found al .3P.M. The mans mule which was evident ly shot first, was not quite dead. Licuten- ant West went out with every available man, fifteen in number, including five citizens.
 X subsequent dispatch states Lieut.. West found the Indians about one mile from where the mail rider was killed. He attack ed them but could not dislodge them. X courier came in and reported the fact and every man, except the post guard, was sent out. They met Lieut.. West returIing From the fact that the Indians waited for Lieut.. West, the commanding officer infers that they were in force, and asks for reinforce mentS from Camp Grant.
 The foregoing is very extraordinary intel ligencc in view of all the circumstances. Lieut.. Fucker k out with the scouts from Bowie and thirty cavalry since May :. which explains the scarcity of troops at Bowie. Gov. Stafford and his scouts. under Beauiurd are also out ever since the return of the lat ter from New Mexico, in search of these same savages, whilst Mr. Cum claims that he has all the Hot Spring Indians comfort ably and Contentedly established at the san Carlos. Where then does this strong force of Indians come from, and how could they elude the regular troops and scouts and the gallant Governor with his Territorial scouts
 We strongly suspect that the real cNpla- nation consists in the rumor in the Silver City Herald, that of 454 Indians that Agent Cum brought from the Warm Springs there were only l9 bucks.

Tn. editor of the Tucson Citizen evident

The editor of the Tucson Citizen evident
 ly doesn't relish the fat being taken of hi,
 ribs by the removal of the Capital from Tucson to Prescott. whereby he will not bc
 able to manipulate Territorial printing, etc, and in his ibelous issue of the 26th instant says:
 That the people at large in Yavapai county. had any hand in the pcrpetration of the fraud, the people here do not for mo mcnt believe, but they believe and know as certainly as they know there are thousands lof things done which they have 2,yi 5tiittfrryS ed, that it was peTPerTSteIdi -6iy q few precious williams in Prescott.
 How was it, Mir. WassOn, when your peo- ple managed to get the Capital away from Prescott Was it on the square We will defy the Citizen man 10 show any fraud in the taking of the census in this county, eN- cept it be that it was undertaken. We know of one little valley that has a popula- ton of l5O. and the census takcr only sue cecded in getting se names, as the balance, at the time of taking the census, were out prospecting, attending to their various herds and other avocatiOns. And the same can he said of many other places. Gavapai has, to-day. at the least calculation, h, 900 jnhab itants and they arc nearly all good, Ameri- can. bona fie citizens, and do net wear and strut in sandals. or owe their allegiance to Mexico. Insinuations on the part of the Citizen, against the people of Prescott, are unworthy a thought from the honest people of our town If the Citizen knows of fraud, why not come here and prove your words to he those of truth Your course has been, however, to insinuate, insult, etc, and not back up with proof

Col. R. ]. Hinton in letter 10 his paper written on his recent trip through this Ter ritory in speaking of the necessity of San Francisco's cultivating the trade of Arizona and the prospect of completing lines of railway through this great mineral region, says
 "San Francisco interests will do well also to take note of the activity displayed by the railroads of Kansas and Colorado in pushing construction forward in New Mexico. The Denver and Rio Grandc Narrow Guagc Railroad, the AtChison, Topeko and Santa Fe and the Kansas Pacific are all struggling now to first occupy the Rio Grande valley. The Atlantic and Pacific and the Texas Pa cifc still swing in mid transit like Moham- med's coffin in mid air-the one in the Indian Territory, and the other in Texas, without any immediate prospect of further westward construction. When the time comes, however, and it is noI far distant, that either or both the Kansas and Colorado roads reach Messilla or below in New Mex leo. the business relations of this region will be currented to the East, unless in the meanwhile our capital, skill and labor in all branches of the massive activities that are opening here shall have laid an equitable mortgage thereon in the amounts invested and the spirit displayed.

The New York Herald, in late issue. in commenting on the best means of utilizing the savage Indians, wisely asks;
 How would it do to enlist all the warti- ors as United States infantry, drill them thoroughly, and then, as We have no war on hand, set them, under the control of army officers, to building their own barracks. ploughing and cultivating their own fields, and earning their living That also, how ever, would do away with Indian agents, contractors and the whole swarm of people who have for half century lived off the In- dians. It would even do away with the ln- dian Bureau. and that is, of course, enough to condemn the plan. IL has some merits, nevertheless; but when we remember that it would abolish the whole Indian Bureau, as we'll as the Western Indian Ring, VIC give it up"

Survcyor-Geueral John Wasson, editor in chief of the Tucson Citizen, in his paper of May 25, indulges in complimentary terms of the people of Iavapai county, and Prescott in particular. He calls them precious viii lains, etc. These arc endcaring names for the old pioneers who have stood by Arizona in her darkest days, and have fought not only against the common enemy, but against car pet-baggers and others whose aim has been to keep us back, through misrepresentations and otherwise. We have lived out miSrcp- reSentations, islander, Indian war, etc, which have been thorns in our paths, and now, al late day, when the sky is clear, a little slur from the Throne of Falschood will not effect the people who have, for years, braved dan gers of every conceivable nature and kind.

SURGICAL OrERNTIoN.-Mr Marcutt part ner of MT. smith of Lynx Creek, who left Prescott sometime in March on account of poor health, had, after arriving in San Fran cisco, surgical operation performed on his body. by that eminent physician Dr. Poland. Mr. Marcuttt has been ailing for ttc last three years, complaining of a heavy load and severe pain below the pit of the stom- ach. Dr. Poland decided 10 open him and make an examination and try, if possible, to find out the cause of the severe pain ex- pcricnced by the patient and at the same time locate the disease. Accordingly he opened Mir Marcutt'. abdomen. exposing the bowels to plain view and found three en- largementS, each the size of hens egg, grown to the intestines, which he removed very easily, placed everything in its proper place, sowed up the abdomen, and in fifteen days after this skillful operation, MT Mar cutt was walking the streets of San Fran cisco and is now we'll snd hearty man So much for science.

Owing to Congress having failed to pass the appropriation bill, the chief quartermas- ter has been instructed to make contracts for six months supplies only, the contractors running the risk of getting their pay for any supplies furnished under such contract. It strikes us that the novel idea Congress had of subsisting the army on wind must have originated through some of the Pacific dele gation. who have learned what wind is from having visited California street frequently, where nothing else is used as a means of Ii won't do in Arizona.

A MISTAKE We have been sadly mis- taken in our statements regarding the h. dian Ring at san Carlos reservation issuing ordinary Sonora steers at an average of 150 pounds. We now, cheerfully, correct our former statements in view of the facts that We have done the ring a great injustice. We have not told our readers all these hon est contractors were making with the aid of the juvenile agent and only wonder that the Citizen has not corrected our statements, The real truth is, that instead of Sonora beeycs being issued at 750 lbs, We should have stated $50 lbs.
