Ex-GovERNoR F. S. STocKDALE, in
private letter from Washington, ad-
dressed to an editor of the STATESMAN,
says:
Your course in regard to the matters
involved in the presidential settlement
seem to me to be eminently proper and
conservative. Craftsmanship and pa
triotlsm are higher than party. The
duty of the statesman and the patriot
cannot be less obligatory than that of
the partisan. II either must yield,
which shall it be9 Your course leaves
no doubt as to your answer.

members of Congress, is found, SO far
as have seen, in the address of the
member of Congress from the Sixth
District of Texas (Mr. Schlelcher).
Being here in Washington at the time,
and on the most friendly terms with
the delegation from our State, I am
sure that they had no part or lot in
what has since been called the "South-
ern dicker." The action of Brown of
Kentucky, in this regard, was without
the knowledge of our delegation and

selves to the execution of the law re

hoped that if Hayes were counted in

TESTING FLOUR.

The rise in price of breadstuffs caused by
the declaration of war by Russia against
Turkey may lead unprincipled men to i'm
itate the adulteration Of flour practiced in
some foreign countries. An easy method Of
detecting such adulteration according to
legal, is to mix the flour with chlorotorm.
The chloroforme exerts no chemical action
upon the flour; but being specifically heav-
Ter than flour and lighter than the earthly
adulterants, the former floats upon the chic
reform and the adulterant sinks. On shak-
ing UP a sample of flour in the test tube of
choloroform and allowing it to, settle, a sed-
iment will indicate adulteration. On decan-
ting the turbid liquor, the sediment may be
washed and weighed or tested quantitati-
yely.

THE EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON THE HU-
MAN SYSTEM.

In the fourth annual report OF Michigan
State Board of Health, DR.. Scott relates
something new in the influence of tobacco
Oh the human system, as follows:
.There has come under my notice for
several wears, but more particularly during
the last two years, a kind of rheumatic con-
dition of the walls of the chest. The patient
complains of a dull heavy pain in the chest
walls. The disease in a large majority or
cases is confined to the left side. The pam
is circumscribed and limited to q space OF
not more than two inches in diameter, just
below and Il little to the left of the lift nip
pie. At times the pain is very severe, and
always constant day and night, when the
patient is awake. l have investigated the
disease to some extent, and find it to be
more common among tobacco users, espec-
tally those who use the weed to excess. IA
tents suffering from this complaint invar-
iably come to their physician with the belief
that they have heart trouble. L nave not
found signs of organic lesion in any OF the
cases that I have examined, but there does
exist in some of them what might be called
IN irritable heart | am convinced that
the greater number of these cases are the
result of intemperance either in the use OF
tobacco or other stimulantS, for the reason
that, when the patient abstains from the use
OF them for a short time, his pain ceases and
his condition improves. In one case, where
the patient abstained from the use of to-
bacco for THIRTEEN months. the pain entirely
ceased; but at the end of this period the
gentleman recommended the use of tobacco,
and after three weeks use the old pain re-
turned with all its severity. l am certain
that quite a number in this..vicinity are re-
ceiving treatment for heart disease, when if
they would reform in tobacco using, they
would speedily recover"

RAILRoAD.- Plans have been received here for locating tracks, buildings, &c., on this side of the river. A single track crosses the bridge'and runs as far as Jones' street; there switch throws of side track running down by the steamboat office and parallel to the river, across Main street, and toward Penitentiary Hill Five lines have been surveyed for this side track, but the one most likely to be adopted runs in front of the steamboat office and along the
 new wharf and freight shed to be built at the foot of Main street. From the bridge the road runs nearly straight along Madi- son avenue,till opposite the court house; from here it diverges across the block to- ward Main street beyond the Catholic church. Near this point of divergence four tracks spring out, spreading on each side of the new depot and coming together again on the block between Fourth and Fifth streets. The depot is to be on block 90, between Main street and Madison avenue
 and between Fourth and Fifth, rather nearer to the former. The turntable is located at the Interrogation of Main and Fifth streets

AN exhibition was given on Thursday by the pupils of the Sisters of St. Joseph, which reflected credit on the proficiency of the children. An allegorical play was well rendered by them, though the author displayed bad taste in putting religious politics into the mouths of children The angel of England got no crown because that country had backslid from the Romish faith, until she promised to weep away English sins with her tears. The angel of America would have been left uncrowned for the infidelity of her country but for the intercession of the angel of Ireland, who guaranteed to bring her into the fold. The angel of Ireland has pretty near corraled the country now. Her church has gobbled up the Democratic party and stands good chance of hiving the rest of us; but it is unpleasant to be reminded of it by school children at public exhibitions. This sort of thing is to be expected however, from sectarian schools of any denomination.

IT IS TIME TO QUIT prosecuting men through political or personal prejudice. The latest instance of this kind comes to us in the shape of decision of the Board of Investigation against Capt. James l, Waddell, late commander of the steamship City of San Francisco. A man who could take steamer like the rebel cruiser Shen. andoah through reef, shoal, rocks. and narrow channels, half the time without coal, old sails, half manned, two or three Federal gunboats at his heels, and with all the disadvantages against a sailor, is cer- tainly no novice in seamanship. That he lost splendid ship, which he loved, was great misfortune; but we can see no reason why he should be bounded therefor. by political clique. A Board of played out steamboat bummers were appointed a Board of Inspectors through political iIl- fuenceL One of them has been to sea, but after all he is only waterman. They have decided that because the ship" was lost Captain Waddell must be suspended for one year. Capt. Waddell saved the lives of his passengers and crew, which is more than can be said of most captains who have lost steamers. We hope Capt. Wad. dell will take the matter to Congress, where he may receive fair dealing.

NATIVE CoTTON.-A nice sam pie of cotton grown in Col. Bar. uey's garden was this week sent to Gen. Cotton of the Southern Pacific Railroad G. It was soft, fine, strong and long enough in staple. We have before called attention to the cotton now grow. ing wild along the river near La Paz and at other places in this county. The Pima Indians along the Gila used to raise large quan- titles of cotton, from which thev wove blankets and clothing, until they found they could get these things with less labor by trading grain for them to the Americans. We doubt whether cotton will become a staple crop of Yuma county because. although soil and |climate here are eminently suited to it, there is more money in crops of sugar, grapes, tropical fruits etc.

 GENTLEMEN: This office is in receipt of Registers letter of 2Sth of April, trans mitting 2 communication of Vim. A. Han : cock inquiring Eff parties in locating on unsurveyed land (under the Desert Land Law locate on railroad land, "what will be the result if the railroad company finally acquires title to odd sections? Will the settlers be protected, or will they be compelled to leave, losing their land and improvements 2" No decision can be made on hypothetical case. It can only be said, that the Desert Land Law abro- gated no law making grant of land to a railroad company, and conferred no ex- traordinary rights upon a; settler as against any land grant to corporation. Entries made under that law are therefore subject to such rights as any prior grantee may possess to the land.

Every effort has been made to save the arm, but it was so completely riddled with shot that it was impossible. He seems now to be past danger, and will probably be entirely recovered in time to stand his trial at the next term of the District Court. His occupation is gone; with only one arm it will be hard for him to again rob a stag.
