 Ex-Governor Wells still refuses to testify except as to Maddox story and Vernon Parish returns until he is re, lieved from confinement.
 Kenna of New Orleans telegraphs that Gov. Wells offered 10 give State to Tilden for S200,000, but that he had not the money. Louis M. Kenner of returning board testified be had no knowledge of alteration or destruction of Vernon Parish returns, but believed that some one altered them and then stole the paper to cast suspicion on returning board Republicans now believe the Maddox and Vernon Parish business to be a regular conspiracy to make d case against the returning bOaru
 On the evening of the 7th, the cleo toral commission by vote of eight against seven, have decIded that no evidence shall be admitted or cOnsid- cred in the Florida case except the various electoral certificates and such evidence as shall be submitted on the eligibility of Humphreys as an electOr. Justices Strong, Miller and Bradley, Senators Edmunds, Morton and Ere linghuysen, and Representatives Hoar and Garfield, favored decision.

 WASHINGTON, February Ex-Governor Wells Tn testimony today stated Dun can T. Kenna, wealthy gentleman of Louisiana, offered him $200,000 to change vote in favor of Tilden. David Dudley Field has admitted that he pro cured printing of garbled testimony in pamphlet, apOlogized for it and said was not aware he had done anything wrong. John H. Corse, notorious operator for TiIden in Oregon case, to- day admitted before Senate investigat- ing committee, sending number of tele- grams produced in evidence to the ef- feet that if Tilden was counted out in Louisiana, the Democrats would geJ California and Oregon, and had 100000 ex- Union soldiers 10 take them.
 Governor Wells further testified that Littlefield's story of his disposition of Vernon returns, was an unmitigated lie; and refused to answer concerning manner of canvassing the vote by the returning board; he came voluntarily to testify on the Maddox statements and Vernon Parish matter, and would not answer on any other thing until relieved of contempt by the House. Some muddled stuff comes in here, relating Louisiana business but noth- Ing of importance ss it reads.

UNDER a change effected in law by en- actment Of the present Legislature, the manner of drawing jurles Is altered. Here tofore It has been the custom upon is- suance of a venire by the court for grand and petit juries, to draw the names Of members Of the jury by lot so that an lm- partial selection was made from property
 holders or from the general public 10 com pose iur.es, without regard to race, color or condition, &c. Now the venire Is deliv- cred to the United States Marshal or to the lSheriff for the respective jurIes, and these officers select ihe forthcoming jury. Un-
 der the present Sheriff and Marshal no
 harm is likely to result in the selection Of lJuries but as life Is short and we can't al-
 ways have the same officers and as 1t Is Just possible that these offices may not be
 SO well filled in the future as at present,
 the change In the manner Of drawing ju-
 rIes, looks 10 us a little dubious at least. Suppose that in the near future some Buc- cancer or Pirate, or some embryo Cesar, or POntius PilRte In disguise should get elected sheriff, and surround himself with 1 s jury of his peers, where would you be? That's what's troubling us, and it behooves every one tO carry the question home to the bosom Of hls family and ponder on 1t, that Is, ponder on the question, not on the bosom Of his family Of course.

AT the Presbyterian church, on Sunday morning, the Rev. Mir. Anderson preach ed a good sermon to an audience that would have done credit to a town of much greater pretenslons,-sec and relig- iously,-than Tucson. No fairer Sabbath morning ever rested upon any land be- meath the sun. Mld-winter, and the air, balmy as the breath of June, warm with sun rays, fresh from mountain and fra grant from mesa and valley. floated in at the open doOrways of the audience room and blessed pastor and waiting coDgrega- ton with health. comfort and happiness. To the stranger in our midst from less ia vored climes, the sacred services on such Ia lovely day was a thing to remember, while to our residents, the success Of this church movement and the continued in- terest therein is a source Of great congrat- ulation and the services themselves are one of the most healthful mental tonics ever devised in Tucson. The beneficent work Is initiated and will continue until a prosperous Protestant church Is an es- tablished institution here. The pastor Is jealous and the people are ready and the road to complete success is plain and open.

THE Surveyor-General Of Arizona has just received instructions to examine Into and report upon the merits of private land claims in accordance with the act of Congress, approved July, 1870. To execute the instructions, will involve expense not provided for by Congress, although the attention Of that body has been frequent ly called to the necessity Of such provis- ioI, and the appropriation for incidental expenses for the present fiscal year is much less than that for any previous one, and barely enough to meet ordinary wants. Congress has been again asked to make needful appropriations for the effi- cient execution or the instructions, and until it does so, only preliminary work involving irifllng expense, can be per formed under them.

Volunteer Company for Indian
 Service

Gov. Stafford has decided 10 call out q company of volunteers, principally Indians. and has written to Buford, the celebrated San Carlos leader of Indians after hostile Indians, inviting hlm to take command; has also telegraphed 10 Secretary of War for arms on conditions as per former advice to the Governor. No time will be lost in effecting the .company's organization and putting it in the field. With all the forces now in and to be put in the field, the Apsches which refused to be removed to San Carlos, will ere long be quite surely killed or captured
 Mr. Holt came in from Tubac Thurs day and reports an attack by Indisnsj on that place, and that lot of stock was stolen from various parties. Letter to Gov Stafford confirms the report.
 MT Eberhardt, who arrived from Tu- bac Wednesday morning, says he heard of nine head of animals stolen there, 1 and undoubtedly by Indians. Mr Marion informs us that Gen. Kautz telegraphs him that Lieut.. Rucker is, Oui with thirty cavalry and company of Indian scouts and close on the hos tiles, also that he will do all he can to give this section protection. We erred in saying, Wednesday, that Lieut. Han na left Lowell with l4 men, and should ! have sad 42.
 Several ranches in Sonoita valley yet to hear from, owing to large number of Indians in that neighborhood. The, miners at the Salero mine are right oni the Indian trail, and they are not heard from.

 Thomas Gardner who arrived from Sonoita country about noon Thursday, | says as far as he had heard, two men had been killed, one wounded and thirty head of mules and horses stolen.

MINING Is at best unsartln," an5, a. is observed in little Johnny's obituary DO tics, "you can't sometimes exactly tell {" what's in store for the lnclr,5SS or lucky
 miner. In the santa RIta placers was a claim which. some time since, Mr. James Speedy bought for a song. or, in exact
 figures, for fineen dollars. He afterwards sold this claim to a Mexican miner for for ty dollars. This last purchaser went to work on the claim, 10 get his money back and unexpectedly struck quite a placer bonanza. We ars informed that he has so far taken out over 5000 in dust and mug gets and is still at work. Dr. c. H. Lord bought one of the nuggets recently. the piece being very handsome one, of the value Of Sl27. When General Curtiss Jeff here for the States on Monday, the Doctor sent the nugget by him as present to his son in the east. Which Is why we remark that mining is unsartin." Even in our limited experience we have known ire quently Of miners purchasing apparently worthless claims, and after going to work in earnest and opening up the claim have found that it was sactually-worthless But, trihing aside, mining is like everything else In this queer world,-full Of chances, and if you fail you must try, try again.
