DEATH or EDwARD ncCABE ESQ

The death of Mr.. McCabe, brother o.
the late James McCabe, City Treasure r
shocked his friends with It's appalling sud-
denness, was found dead on a lot back o.
Walnut street, between Thirty second and
Ihirty"third streets, Twenty seventh Ward
fh'ladelphia, yesterday morning. at 6
O'Clock. The body was partly submerged
in small creek which passes through the
Iot, and 1t was removed to the Twenty-frst
District Station House, where it was identt-
frd by the friends of the deceased. There
were no marks of visible about the body,
except slight scratch on the nose, The
watch of deceased and some papers relating
to cases which he had pending In court were
found in his pockets. Therefore there is
no suspicion of foul play. Mr.. McCabe had
very poor eye~sigAt, and it is supposed be
lost his way in the darkness and storm of
Tuesday night, and accidentally fell into
the deep hole where he was found, as it is
utterly unguarded by any fence, and the
precfpice is almost on line with the pave
ment along the soush side of the street
No doubt the cause of his death, was con
cussion of the brain, which produced in
sensibilf'y, and death resulted from ex>
posure.
Mr.. McCabe had an Office in the building
No. 5l4 Walnut street, in the same suite
with General Vim. McCapdless. He was a,
bis office as late as five O'Clock, Tuesday
at ernoon, and then was apparently in good
heal h and in the best of spirits. He had a
case to try in court yesterday morning, and
was making preparations for it.. He had a
sleeping apartment in the same building
but an examination of it showed that the
bed had not been used during the night.
The deceased was single man, about 40
years OF age. He was native of Philadel-
phia. but his parents removed to New
Orleans when he was quite young, and re-
m,ined there for several years. His mother |
Was sister of the Very Rev. Father RELY
Vicar General Of this diocese, and upon her |
rel uTn from New Orleans resided with him
Edward McCabe was a graduate of St..
Mary's College, Wilmington. He was an |
excellent linguist, having athorough knowl-
edge OF the Latin, Greek, Spanish and |
French languages, and was well-versed in
'elles-lettres. He was a law-student with |
8enjamin H. Brewster, and was admitted |
o the bar about 1859.
There were few men at the Philadelphia
var who was more universally esteemed |
u loved than Edward McCabe. He was
honorable, cultured and of spotless integrity.
There will he bar meeting probably on |
friday in Philadelphia, at which one of the
udges will preside. He will be buried in
he Catholic cemetery of this city, of bis
uneral due notice will be given.

Reclaim she Desert.

A project is before Congress, promot- ed by Dr. O. Nj. Wozencraft, for re- claiming the Colorado desert, in San Diego county. The importance of this work of reclamation, if it can be ac- cOmplished, will be readily admitted by all. It would bring into use an arid desert, and so ameliorate the ell mate of adjoining territory as 10 open to settlement an immense area which is now, fUr all practical purposes, unfit for the occupation of man. SHch a work may fairly be regarded as of na- tional importance, while its direct bear ing upon the trade and industries of this State would be exceedingly potent
 But the State does not seem disposed to embark in undertakings of this kind, and it is therefore left to private enter. prise to organize the means whereby It may be done. Dr. WOzencraft pro poses to tap the Colorado river at a point near Yuma, and afIer leading the stream some thirty miles through Mex
 ican territory, bring it into San Diego county at New River Station, and thence along the foothills for distribu
 ton over the salt plain. The work i: feasible enough, there being no grea
 engineering difficulties in the way, and its successful accomplishment would add largely to the culuvable area O
 California. We wish its projector ev cry success. Should he succeed ht will add another county to the State O

 Before Justice Neugass, on the 18th in- stsnt, in the case of the Territory vs Wm. Forney, assault to Kill or murder R. c. Brown, examination had and defendant held to answer. Ball fixed in the sum Of $500. and defendant committed to county jail until he gives such bail.
 This latter case Is the sequel to the cow ardly and brutal assault made upon R. C. Brown while returning 10 his house late on Sunday evening, January7. It will be remembered that on the above evening MT. Brown. V ho had left the CITIZEN office in perfect health but a few minutes before, was found shortly after II o'clock D. m. bleeding from numerous wounds Tn the head, and In an insensible condition. I'm. mediately upon regaining his conscious ness his first thoughts were directed to this man Forney who is now charged with the deed. Forney is a printer, and lately came from the east destitute and in search of Hork. MT. Brown, who is foreman Of THE CITIZEN of1ce, took him up and gave him work as opportunity offered. Forney soon developed more or less snakish attributes by turning on the hand that had helped him and making frequent unfriendIy remarks about Brown because he didn't give him constant work. Alter the attack upon him, MT. Browns impression that Forney was the guilty party gained strength, and securing & revolver which FOrney had kept In the printing office but had tstrangelyl worn for the first time on the Sunday evening in question, Mir. Brown took 1t to Dr. Handy who, upon ex- animation, declared that there were con- siderable traces Of blood upon the handle. The metal of the pistol had also lately been secured end cleaned. Forney was also in and out Of the office on that Sunday evening just at the proper time to have made the attack. He has at times shown a very vIudictive and malicious disposi. ton. After the 1ndingof Mir. Brown. For. ney was suspicIously ofiicious in offering kindly services, whereas. to judge by his own talk, he had not, shortly before, enter tained the kindliest feelings to the injured man. He can't clearly explain his where- abouts at the time Of the attack.
 | IfForney Is innocent it is certainly to be hoped that he can so prove st the proper lime. but in view Of the gross outrsges that are repeatedly committed by vicious men in the trades for the sake of employment, there is nothing improbable in the suspi- cion that a man Of malignant and vicious disposition should attempt to assassinate a

auartermassers snort of Funds.

We are informed that military disburs- ing officers Tn this part of Arizona, and perhaps Tn all parts, are short of funds and cannot pay for services render ed and supplies for several months past |; that ill consequence some of our most careful business men are unexpectedly and we might say inexcusably pressed. We are also informed that the disburs- ing officers have not been negligent about their acquisitions; that for months proper requsitions have been before the proper department and division officers. Congress has long since provided funds for the payment of services and sup plies in this as we'll as Otber military departments. This being true, and none can truthfully deny it, certain officers are derelict in their duty for not pro viding disbursing officers with funds Perhaps the San Francisco authorities do not supply those of Arizona; if not, it is in order to inquire why' It is sug- gested that perhaps another clerk up in that virtuous city and division, has been playing his artless superior and got away with the matter of seventy thou sand dollars, as occurred about year ago, and Arizona must suffer therefor. No matter how or why Arizona disburs- ing officers are unsupplied with funds, certain officers are derelict in the mat. ter, for COngre.7 has done it's duty. It will do no harm Or suffering creditors to forward thIs item to the Quarter master General at Washington, who has undoubtedly performed his duty and presumes others have likewise, and he may effectually look into the busi- ness.
