 Post for fences, gates or sheds, may be made to last great deal longer by cut ting and thoroughly drying or seasoning before planting them in the ground. As the sap or moisture in the timber dries out the wood shrinks and closes up the pores, which prevents the absorption of water afterward. and thus saves the post from decay. It is said, and with consid- erable show of reason, that post ret with the top end in the ground will East longer than if set in the usual way, with the but end down. Here is the explana- tion: The pores which run lengthways of the tree are like little valves, which permit the flow of moisture upward, but never downward. Mulberry, cedar, locust and post oak are good for posts, and, if we'll seasoned before being set iii the ground, will last from ten to fifteen years, and sometimes even twenty years. It is said that posts painted with com position of boiled linseed oil and finely pulverized charcoal will last for an age, and we do not doubt the preservative qualities of such paint. Posts and blanks, or rails, make neat, durable fance, which covers less ground than other fences, and is probably cheaper in the long run than almost any other, par ticularly for yards and lots where cattle run. This is the time of the year when such work is commonly done, and great deal can be done between now and April at odd times, when it is too wet to blow. Look we'll to gates, bars and fences.

mand of President Jno. d. Smart.
AS usual the apparatus was in iino

neatly dressed in their uniforms of

were much pleased to observe tho
full turnout on Thursday, de-
spite the unfavorable weather.
The interest thus shown by the col
ored firemon in thoir organization
is worthy of great praise. Though,
happily for the town, their services
are seldom needed, yet, approaching
the necessity for constant readiness
and constant discipline, tho officers
and members Of the Hook and Lad

organization up to the highest

TINE ARIZONA RING.

1t has been charged for some time
past that ring. consisting of Federal
officers aud few favorites. existed in
Arizona Territory, the object of which
WAS to bleed the Government by con
trolling patronage and contracts. The
subjngation Of the Indians 10y General
Crook was not at all pleasing to the
members of the ring, as it deprived
ahem of the opportunity of furnishing
supplies for the troops in the field at
their own prices. Last winter an
attempt was made to create the impress
sion that the Indians had again re.
sumed hostilities, and few com panies
of volunteers were called into service
by Governor Stafford. who alleged that
the regular troops were not sufficient.
This charge against the troops is sup
posed TO have no Foundation in fact,
and was made by the ring to secure the
removal of the commanding officer,
who proved an insurmountable OBJ
stacle to the schemers. The influence
OF the ring was also made apparent in
the politics of the Territory. Stevens,
the Democratic nominee for Delegate
to Congress, was supported by the ring,
who ara professedly Republican, aud,
although he was defeated at the polls,
he received certificate of election from
the Secretary of the Territory. Gen.
Kautz, who appears to understand tho
situation. has written letter to Wash
ington explaining it, synopsis of
which appears in to days dispatches.

WITHDRAWING THE Troops.

It appears that the Cabinet has at
EAST decided to withdraw the troops
from South Carolina, and trust the
dnal governments of that State to the
Darwiuian principle, that the +" mort
fitting will survive As the with
.drawal of troops frem Southern States
implies that re Federal soldiers are to
be rrisoned ia those States it is like
Nv to create false impression. The
Withdrawal of troops. according to the
modern Interpretation of the term,
aneans only that Federal bayenets shall
not be used to maintain IA government
not chosen by majority of the people.
so far rs known the people of South
Carolina and Louisiana have no more
objection to troops being stationed in
their States than the people of Nevada
have 10 cavalry companies being
.quartered at Camp McDermit and Hal
leck. Bat in these States soldiers are
,uuartered in the State Houses at Col.
nmbia ami New Orleans to maintain
lnt the point OF the bayonet Governors
not elected by the people. In the
North troops ere ased for the protec-
zion of citizens; III the South, as stated
by President Grant in the last days of
his Administration, they are used for
political purposes. 1t does not follow
that the decision of the Cabinet will re-
suit IN the Withdrawal of Federal troops
from South Carolina, as it only means
shat they ,hai be transferred from their
present quarters in the State House at
Colunib i,s, where they have been used
ITO prevent Democratic members of the
Legislature from taking their seats,
and Hampton, who is recognized as the
legal Governor By the Courts and the
taxpayers, from having access to the
archives of the government.

A ROW AT OGDEN.
A Rich Treat for Brigham's
Officials.
over

Last Saturday. the editor of the
Ogden Freeman and Postmaster Sharp
of that city had discussion with pis-
tolls and clubs. in which the knight of
the scissors and paste-pot was worsted.
The particulars of the affair as given
US by one who was present are as fol-
lows: The Freeman man, whose name
is Freeman. went to the post office with
cooked pistol in his hand, and for
some real or fancied grievance threat
ened to shoot the top of the head off
the "blawsted" Federal official, but
left the office without carrying out his
threat. He was followed by Sharp,
who with large-sized shillelah struck
him over the head. telling him to the
ground. after which he beat him un-
mercifully. Both were arrested and
taken before Mormon magistrate, who
fined the postmaster $40 and the editor
$50. In Gentle communities. one or
both of the belligerents would be held
to answer before the Grand Jury, but
that is not the Mormon way of doing
business. They do not believe IN tax
ing the saints to prosecute Gentle of
tenders, SO their officials either fine or
massacre the latter, as the church
directs.

All the Central American States are
at peace. In Peru aud Chill every
thing is quiet. So say late adyices.
A Berlin dispatch of to-day SAYS it
is expected that Russia will raise a
heavy loan as soon as the confidence of
Europe is strengthened in peace.
A Vienna cores pondent of the Lon
don Standard reports that according to
advices from st. Petersburg Russia has
ordered her sqaadrons in the Mediter-
rthean and American waters to the
Baltic. The Journl de St. Petersburg
says the tone of the debates in the
Turkish Parliament leaves bat little
hope Of peaceful issue.
dispatch from St. Petersburg says
intelligence has bsen received from
London that the protocol was signed
Saturday and will be Immediately no.
tilted to the Porte. A Paris CORE.
spondent says the signing of the proto-
col virtually abrogates the Treaty of
Paris; and further slys, 1--WE believe

St Petersburg" Most of the news.
papers think the signing of the protocol
does not decide peace or war; some say
war is inevitable.
Panama adyices to the 22d nit. have
been received at New York and state
that affairs in Colombo are favorable
to the Governments cause; that the
struggle is fast assuming the as oect of
a religious war, but with the chances
of success probably on the side of the
Government. The clergy are making
seditious sermons throughout the State.
A battle took place near Msnizalas, in
the State OF Cauca, March 10th. re-.
sulting in victory for the Government
troops. 1t is reported that a Dutch
man-of war made demand upon the
Government for 100000 for the MUIR
der OF the Dutch consul on the 18th of
last December and that suitable apollo
gies will be made.
General Kautz, commanding the de-
partment of Arizona, in a letter written

Stafford regarding the latler's recent
message to the Legislature and other
public allegations of inefficiency on
the part of the military. Facts and
figures furnished by General Kautz 60
to show that many reported Indian
depredations are unfounded and that
the remainder are greatly exaggerated;
that the troops have done their duty
faithfully aud that the Governors
charge that the troops have done moth
ing Is not true. He says there is a fac
ton in Tucson who are dissatisfied be-
cause that city is not the power of the
Territory, aud because of the two
years peace which has existed; that il
is the same faction who tried to secure
the removal of General Crook, who
succeeded 10 removing Gen. Stcneman,
and that their object is to secure his
(Kautz's) removal.
