STILL ANOTHER.

It would be ungrateful in c. c. Bean to run against Campbell.
 It is not fair, it is not right, it is not honorable for Mohave man to run against Campbell, So says the Democratic paper at Prescott.
 We don't understand why Mr. Davis has not the right to run for Congress. or anything else if he wants to, without being called un- fair, unjust, and dishonorable. We are pleased to know that NIT. Bean is not ungrateful-for to call a man ungrateful is to accuse him of all meanness that human flesh is heir to. As for us, we have our man in the field, and welcome MT. Davis as foeman worthy of our steel. If you have any more Congress heads, elevate them, and if they get away with our man, we will not complain, for this is a race free to all. Trot them out.

DO YOUR DUTY.


 During the past week. our office has been besieged by persons full of complaints about our physicians, county officers and almost every body connected with the county government. live were to answer all, our whole time would be occu- pied. There are, in all communi- ties class of people who are con tinually finding fault about officials not attending to their duties. As regards the officers of this county, we fail to find any just grounds for condemning them in regard to the smallpox matter, but on the con trary, find thas they have used all the means in their power to prevent the further spread of the disease. Let those who come in contact with contagiOn, exercise due precaution, and there will be no need of complaints. If citizen knows of his own knowledge that person is guilty of spreading the disease by not exercising care, he should i'm mediately inform those in authority and we doubt not but that it would be attended to.

An international exposition is an- nounced for Rome three years hence. We hardly think she needs a side show of this sort to make it worthy of a visit. Its own attrac- tions are amply sufficient to induce strangers to that place to see the Colosseum, the Forum, the Vatican St. Peters and the many other noted places of that famous city.

Remedy for Smallpox.

MT. F. A. Drake, handed us the the following recipe for the cure of smallpox and also scarlet fever. He has had it in his possession for some eight years, and knows of his own knowledge, that it is an unfail- ing remedy. It is said that this remedy causes either smallpox or scarlet fever to disappear in twelve hours, and to use the language of the author, who gave the recipe to New York paper, |" it is as unfail- ing as fate and conqusrs in every instance" It can be taken by a well person without harm.
 Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox glove (digitalis) one grain; half seaspoonful of sugar; mix well with two tablespoonfuls of water. When thoroughly dissolved add four ounces of water. Dose-Table- spoonful every hour, for an adult ; and less for a child.

BENEFITS OF 4 RAILROAD'

the older settlers in this valley, a mistaken idea, as to the great ben eft that will accrue to Arizona in the advent of a railroad. To set the matter right, and with the knowledge of one who has had a little experience in like situations, is the purpose of this article.
 In the past years of this Salt River settlement, its producers have sometimes had largely remu- nerative prices for their crops. The market, however, was fiuctuating as the demand was uncertain. During this time, the cost of necessary im- ports was enormously high on ac- count of freight charges. Three years ago, freights from San Fran cisco to Yuma, by the measurement system of tonnage ranged from two to ten cents per pound. With rail connection to Yuma, the rate now is sl GO per hundred weight, and for ordinary freight only four cents from New York to Yuma. The i'm mediate effect of this reduction of freight has been nearly, if not quite 50 per cent. less cost to us for many of our necessary imports, and no great falling off in values of our home products. With these facts before their eyes, and in their mouths, every time they take a cup of coffee or chew of tobacco, it is a little surprising that these croakers will croak about the railroad being an irreparable injury to the country.
 Much attention is now being given by capitalists to the mines of Arizona. A large emigration is coming here, and every acre of ara ble land is being rapidly taken up. Nearly all these new settlers arc from railroad countries, and are eager to get homeshere in advance of the prosperous era that that they know will dawn upon this country as soon as that true star of empire the headlight of the locomotive shall shine upon our valleys and illume our mountain canyons. The coming of the railroad with the as surance of speedy and continuous communication with the great con- mercial world outside, the certain development of our vast and rich mineral fields and the absolutely certain rise in valuation of all kinds of property here, is what is impell- ing toward us, this army of emi- grafton and the attention ot capital. Still, these few croakers would have us believe that they are the embodiment of wisdom, and the emigrant army, with capitalists who seek investment here, are all fools.
 It is true that on the opening of a railroad in a new country, there is a feverish over-valuation of real property, which has often caused loss to those who purchase at such fancy fignres. But when things are settled, it has always been found that the value of taxable property has largely increased while the cost ot living has proportlonate' ly diminished.
 The arabic lands of Arizona witl every acre in cultivation, cannot be made to produce a third ot what will be required to sustain tho vast number of laborcrs which hel mines will employ. Any farmer knows, or ought to know, that !; home market is always the best,anc as the railroad will bring us cheaper living, its freight charges will alsc protect us from any danger of sue .essfql comeptition, in nproducts iron

observations of the Editor of the
Enterprise Courier, al the Capt..
ENTERPRISE Courier .


While in Jackson, we found that the rep.
resentatives from the cat generally stood
hig h and welded considerable influence
In the Senate no man stands higher than
our Senator, Jno. w. Jewell. His talents
and force OF character haYe placed him in
the front rank of an able body OF men.
Senator A. r. Carter, is honest, intelligent
and brings practical and clear conception
to bear upon his duties as legislator. DE
is one OF the solid men of that BODY. In the
House our immediate Representative, Hon.
IL. b. Brown, has established a character as
dignified, sensible and working member,
MIR. Browns speeches are always fOrclble
and to the point. Lauderdale need have
20 fears that her interests will suffer while
she has two such influential and industrl'
Gus mem Ders as Whitaker and Gallagher
In the person of Hon. John 2. SeabrooE
Wayne county can point with pride to an
able, honest and fearless representative
Among the new Senators is Hon. W. u.
Gibbs OF I aZoo, who will be remembered
by our people as the gallant standard bearer
of this District in the last Presidential cam
paign. You can't know Gibbs withou..
liking him. He is whole souled, brave anu
talented.
We have not space to notice Others, ous
will say that Mississippi can boast OF
able body of men in her legislative halls

THE Senate yesterday passed House
Bill providing for new registration OF
the voters of Kinds county, with a view
to vote in August next, ON the question
of a subscription of two hundred thous-
and dollars toward the Natchez, jackson
and Columbus Railroad. Messrs. Lam
neau and Montgomery made able
speeches in favor of, and Messrs. Gibbs
and Parish against, the bill. Mr.. Mont
gomery explained that he acted under
what he deemed the expressed will of his
constituents in supporting the bill; but
that he would vote against the subscrip-
ton when that question is submitted to
the people.

The insurance laws,
Nltchez Democrat.

There is proposition before the Mssis-
sippi Legislature to repeal the present law
requiring insurance companies doing bust
ness in Mississippi to make a deposit with
the Stare Treasurer. We think the propO-
sition should become a law. Many Of the
companies which did business here before
that law passed have abandoned the State
on account of it, and the competition in in
surance is thereby reduced to the injury Of
the insured. There is another objection.
The State has under this law to pay six
per cent. interest Oh the deposits made by
the companies. The State does not need
the funds, and all the interest paid on them
is that much useless expenditure.

THE Silver Bill as amended by the Sen

The Silver Bill, AS amended by the SEN
ate, is before the President. If it should
be vetoed it will become a law neverthe-
less. The bill as it passed does not fully
right the great wrong which was COM
mitted in the demonstration of silver.
1t limits the quantity that shall be coined,
and as Mr.. Ewing expressed it in the
House, the President is to send a commits
sion of gold men to ''pipe-lay" with for
eign creditors for the purpose of wrest-
ing from the people the petty concession
now granted. However, the principle
has been conceded. A step has been
taken, and the battle must be fought out
before the people until the victory has
been fully achieved.

The very able and interesting report
of the House Committee appointed to
inquire into and report upon the gener-
ally discussed subject of hell, on the mo-
tior of distinguished member from
Tate, will be found in another column.
The committee certainly spared neither
labor, nor time, in the pursuit of their
inquiry, and were intrepid enough to
tread upon the edge of great peril.
They reached the inevitable conclusion
that "both revelation and analogy teach
the doctrine of punishment in hell and
forever"

that all grants for the construction of
railroad and telegraph lines, whose con

The Alleged Lawlessness I'm tsse
SOuthyy estern Localities.

The report of Hon. A. b. Hurt,
chairman of the House Committee to in
vestigate the troubles in some of the
Southwestern counties, cannot have es.
capped observation. We learn that the
investigation was complete and searching,
and we need not add, impartial. The.
committee state that they have instituted
rigid inquiry into the causes of the
trouble and their conclusion is that they
are due to financial depression and not
to political influence, nor to race antago-
nism.
1t is a sad picture which is drawn of
the condition of affairs which has pro-
duced these disorders. The parties en-
gagged in them, says the Committee,
shave seen their homes and other prop
erty pass, under mortgage and deeds Of
trust, into other hands," with families
beggarl, the means for their support
taken away, want staring them in the
face, and their little all passing into the
hands of strangers for inadequate con-
sderation, many of them were impelled
to acts of lawlessness and humanity
1t was the outcropping, says the
Committee, of the same spirit of commu-
nism born of desperation, which plunged
tens Of thousands Of starving operatives
into acts of violence in the Northern and
Middle States last year, that nothing but
the strong arm of the National authority
could suppress. But there was the SAME
difference in the degrees of violence that
is discovered between the gentle breeze
and the cyclone, which lashes the ocean
into fury and tears up forests by the
roots in its devastating march.
The Committee have attributed the
distress which has resulted in these rep
rehensible acts in the counties named,
to the improvident system of agriculture
which has devoted itself to a single crop
(cotton) and the neglect Of the products
which sustain animal life. They may, or
may not, have ascrlbed the disorders to
the true cause; but one thing is certain,
lawlessness is not a proper corrective.
Men cannot be permitted to wreak ven
geance upon communities, bring the fair
name of the State into disrepute, and
punish the innocent to crafty their
passions or to compensate them
selves for their personal wrongs, or
their real or imaginary misf'rtunes.
The Courts will do their duty. The
! Sheriffs are the custodians of the peace
of Their several counties. They are EN-
powered to summon the posse consmitatus
for this purpose if it takes every man in
the county Behind the Sherfs is a
thoroughly aroused public Indignation
and an awakened spirit which says thus
| far, but no farther. And behind all
these instrumentalities for enforcing the
law and putting down violence, will be
the volunteer military companies, ready
to obey the call of the Governor when
their services are needed for putting
down violence and asserting the suprem
acy Of the law. We trust it will not be
necessary to call these extraordinary
agencies into requisltion.

The supreme Judge Appointments
Tcksburo Herdl,

Ricksburg Herald.
Governor Stone has done himself honor
and responded to universal desire of the
people of this State, by appointing General
George to the Supreme Bench. No better
election could have been made. j. z
Georges stand high on account of his
acquirements-his modest sim plicity, his
profundify, his earnest patriotism, and
his massive brain. He is not great
orator, he Is student, an eminent
jurist, and this State never produced a
better Judge of law than he. We have
had cause TO rejoice at the character
Of our Supreme Court, and we have tgreater
