CHIEF JUSTICE c. G. ". FRENCH Is do- ing some very hard work this fall' He
 had three weeks of constant and arduous labor at Tucson during the term Of court there and only closed the term on Satur- day evening the 10th instant. On sunday the lIth, he left Tucson, arriving in Flor ence On Monday morning; and without rest, immediately began the term here at 10 a. m. The preliminary matters were in the forenoon and in the af- ternoon the Judge listened to the lengthy and able argument in the Reagan case. since that day the court has been in regu- lar session almost constantly, only ad- iourning for sufficient time to allow neces- sary hash anu sweet repOse. on one or two occasions the Judge has been on the bench until l2 o'clock at night. In this manner a great amount Of work has been in the shortest possible time with the least possible expense. The court calendar for this term Is the largest ever set in Arizona. 4 great amount of work is yet to be done, and yet the people need not fear unnecessary expense where Judge French can prevent it.. We know or no official in the Territory who devotes himself more constantly and uuselfishly to the duties of his office than does our Chief Justice.

THE New York Herald, in speaking of the silver bill, says: It is impossi- ble that President Hayes should sign such bill. The grand fiscal success to which hIs administration aspires is the refunding Of the pubic debt at a low rate of interest. This implies the selling of new bonds to the amount of nearly thousand million dollars. No European capitalist will touch bond of the United States payable in silver .. We shall continue to be burdened with the heavy rate of six per cent interest on nearly one-half of the national debt if this dishonest, repudiating silver bill should become law. We are con. fdent that President Hayes will stand between the national credit and such a prostrating blow. If, which we do not believe, this swindling bill should pass the Senate, it will be by slender ma joriiy. Certain it IS that it could not be repassed over the Presidents veto The country may therefore rely upon him as the efficient bulwark of the public credit.

HON. JOHN J. GoSPER, Secretary of Ari- zona, returned to Florence on Monday from a visit to the San Carlos Indian Agen- cy. Our Secretary had never before been to san Carlos and so was disappointed, Of course. He expected to find horde Of turbulent savages, controlled only with the greatest difficulty and among whom an outbreak was always imminent. But his stay of two days changed his opinion of Apaches. He found them all content ed and orderly, and says Ire can see no sign Of trouble and no cause for apprehen- sion. He believes the Indian Police sys- tenn inaugurated there in 1874 is the only efficient mode of reservation discipline. We are glad to have our prominent oth- cials acquaint themselves with the true condition Of Indian affairs in the Territory. In California papers of last week, we mo- tice a telegraphic report announcing that an outbreak is feared from the renegades south Of Mount Turnbull. We have heard no such report in Florence and we are sure the report was sent for political or selfish purposes. Such reports do our Ter ritory great injury and injustice, and all who are interested in the progress Of our country should use every endeavor to cor rect and prevent such reports. Secretary Gosper is among the men anxious to pre- sent the facts as they exist, and he author izes us to say that in his opinion major ity of the Indians at san Carlos are so in- ured to reservation life and discipline that it would require very bad agent with considerable force to drive them away from their present homes.

JOHN P. CLUM, Esq, of this place, breaks out to-day in a professional card as a lfull-fiedged lawyer. notorious republic, &c. We have some considerab. Q acquaint- ance with this gentleman-In fact he is an old friend of ours-and yet we are not quite decided what to say about him. He is not unknown to the literary public Of Arizona. The press has frequently refer red to him under various titles, among which we just now recall "Bashi- Bazouk Cum, ,"" Youthful Napoleon, ,"" Immacu- late Fraud" "The Great White Chief" [" Big Injun Pasha," &c. We don't like to say which of these titles is most appropri- ate-we are not sure whether the public has yet declared in favor of one or all or none-but we believe it is generally con- ceded both by his friends and enemies that he is "a young man hardly twenty four years old" bland and gentle. Well, we don't know, he may be from Bitter Creek" but one thing predisposes us in his favor, and that Is he has paid for his card in advance, and that goes good ways with us. We won't say more, but those who may have business with, or are curious to see the aforesaid "sprig of the law" will find the original Youthful, Bashi, Napoleon, Bazouk, Chief, Pasha, at THE. CITIZEN office.

Illegal Seizures ofTimber.

In view of the conduct of special
 timber agent who recently visited Ar
 izona, the following will be of interest
 to many of our readers:
 JACKSON, Mss November 10.--The seizures of logs, lumber and turpentine in Mississippi by special agent Garter of the Interior Department has sudden ly came to an end. ItseemS the sweep. ing, indiscriminate seIzures made at Pascougala by Deputy United States Marshal by virtue of writ of seques- tration, sued out by special agent Car ter, turns out to be illegal. Major Thomas H. Price, of Mobile, represent ing the victims, argued a motion today to quash the writ before the United States Circuit Court, Judge Hill, pre- siding, on the ground that it was un- constitutional, and was not due process of law. The Judge sustained the mo tion, and ordered the Deputy Marshal at Pasoougala to release the property of all persons not specially named in the writ, but the Court reserved the judg- ment quashlng the writ until Monday, to give the District Attorney an oUpor. tunity to produce authorities in favor of the writ if he could. His decision gives great relief to large community in South Mississippi, who have been great ly damaged already by the wholesale seizures which in effect crushed guilty and innocent alike.

OUR enterprising newsletter, NIT. Robt. Goldman, took us into his back room yes terday and showed us ever So many pret- ty things. Among the stock he pointed out beautiful rosewood box, about three feet long by one foot wide and about the same in depth. He raised the lid and moved a small steel bar. When, Hark Lo! What rich melody is this? What soft harmony? Those sweet tlntinnabula- tions? Well, MT. Goldman said that music-box was worth slOO, and as we didn't just happen to have SlOO bill han dy. we didn't buy the box, but if some Of our wealthy friends don't buy it soon, we are liable to. Mir. Goldman has the lar gest stock of holiday goods, books, toys, games. &c., ever brought into the Terri tory. Also a large supply of the finest writing materials, latest newspapers. good cigars, and-well so many things that we can't tell you all, and so you had better call and see him yourself.

EAST OR WEST.
Which Shall Furnish Supplies for
 ArizOna?

Considerable effort is being made to supply New Mexico and eastern Ari- zona exclusively from the eastern mar. kets via the K. P, D. S R. G., and $. F railroads.
 General Pope in his last annual re port recommends that owing to the in creased facilities for transportation se- cured by the progress of railroads into New Mexico, a change of routes for transporting military supplies to cer- tain posts in Arizona and New Mexi- co, should be made
 4 dispatch from eastern Arizona, published in the California papers of the 18th, says:
 Directions have been received from Washington to draw all supplies for the Department of Arizona from the east, on account of cheaper prices and transportation, and the mercantile firms will follow in the wake of the action of the military. Nearly all the post traders and several firms in Tucson are preparing 10 deal with the east, via the Fort Garland, Fl Moro and Magallon road. This will be an eno.- nous loss to San Francisco shippers, which can hardly be repaired save by a reduction in the prices of goods and rates of transportation by the Southern Pacific railroad.
 We think this is oyerdrawn and somewhat sensational. But it is never theless a fact that Eastern corporations and capitalists are making a strong ef- fort to divert the trade of these sections from California to the Eastern markets, and our merchants and capitalists should be on the alert and guard against any undue advantage. The Pacific Coast is we'll prepared 10 con- pete with the Eastern market in SUD- plies for Arizona and western New Mexico, and now is the time to make this fact apparent If through lack of proper caution we once permit this di- version of trade to be made, 1t will re- quire double effort to regain our lost ground. The Silver City Herald Of the 10th, says;
 Within the past ten days MT. c. P. Crawford has received upwards of 30,- OO0 pounds of assorted merchandise, shipping some 10000 pounds to Globe City during the same time.
 Globe City is only ninety miles from Florence and there is no reason why it should not draw all supplies from this way. We believe it is oyer TOO miles from Globe City to the end of the railroad in New Mexico, while 1t is less than 400 from the railroad ID Arizona. Hence goods from the east have to be freighted on was 300 miles further than those from the west This is no small consideration in our favor, and if we look we'll to our in- terests, we are all right.
