A low, dirty, mean trick, in the shape of a marriage notice, was per petrated upon the HERALD last week. The author, a pretended friend of this paper, has written a letter to John Marion, of the Enter prise, calling his attention to the item, hopins we will be abused by that paper for its publication. All right, the author. will come before the people asking for a reelection to the office he now ffis, next NovGm- Der, and in the mean time, we will inform our readers of his name. so they can be sure he will not be on their tickets, as his office surely ought to call for a man clothed with q little decency.

MALICIOUS.

At one time, Charles W. Beach, of Prescott, was the possessor of a small interest in this paper, the said interest being obtained at the com mencement of our existence, by put ting in a lot of old, worp-out, worth less type, at an excessive price, which was offset by the money of other persons. During this period his sickly squibs of praise of the HERALD, its increasing circula- tiOn," financial showing" large business" best field in Arizona, etc." were as disgusting as they were frequent. Our only resourse was to quietly submit, but never ceasing to pray that the time was not far distant when he would sever his business connection with us. At last the time come; he sold out to Hon. T. J. Butler, and since which event he has been constantly trying to misrepresent us with thoughts from his ponderous brain. given to the world through the aid of his powerful pen. Ghow's that, John ? and that wonderful paper, the Miner, sheet unlike any other in tine world as regards its make-tp. style, and brilliancy of items headed Lotal Intelligence The follow i1g item is given as a sample of his misrepresentations, and was cut from his daily issue of last Monday.
 aThe San Francisco Post, which, by the way, takes lively interest in everything pertaining to the gen eral welfare and interest of Arizona, has, is its issue of the 18th instant, an article headed Crime and its Punishment melted probably by the writer having read an unreliable account-undoubtedly that given by the Salt River HERALD--of the late Gillett disturbance, which does great injustice to the good name of our Territory and the people of Gillett. !"
 Now, let's sec. HERALD issued Saturday, June Is, but owing to poor mail facilities, our San Fran cisco package did not leave the Phenix postofice until Monday evening, June r at 7 o'clock. At l2 o'clock (noon) the following day, it reached Wickenburg, and there lay over 40 hours before proceeding on its journey. But no, according to the Miner, 24 hours after reach ing Wickenburg the HERALD was in San Francisco, and in the hands of the editorial writer of the Evening Post, and had furnished him an idea upon which to write his leader for that day. As the stages could net take the HERALD such dis tance in so short time, perhaps the mule teams he is owner of, and give so many local puffs carried a paper to Col. Hinton, but this can hardly be probable. No, only two things could happen, either the Post had the HERALD article, or the 1IuseI' gives publicity to a malicious lie.-- We suspect the latter.

Mr.. Brakeman, Of the firm Of lvison, Blake
man, Taylor x Co.. Of New York, publishers
of school books, and the Robinson Arithmetic
in particular accompanied by his counsel, ex.
Commissioner Thomas u. Bryan and r. d.
Musscy, esq, called upon the Commissioners
yesterday in regard to the introduction of this
book in the public schools Of the District.
All the members of the board were present
excepting Captain. Phelps Ex Commissioner
Bryan made a lengthy argument supporting
the action of the retiring and in coming Board
of School Trustees, which was favorable to the
adoption of the work, and claimed that their
action was proper and regular.
Mr.. MuSscy repeated a conversation that
he had with Commissioner PhGlpS, VINO was
under the impression that about one half the
books used in tho schools were furnished at
the expense Of the District. bat he desired to
correct it by showing that about sixty.threc
pupils in thousand received books IN this
manner
Commissioner Dent brought to their notice
the fact that the Davies Arithmetic is now in
use in many OF the best private aud public
schools throughout the country, and had been
retained for many years as the best system.
He said the Commissioners had taken rcvisOry
action ~ sOUn as the subject was brought to
their official notice. 1t had been taken In the
interest OF the pupils and parents and not with
reference to points of law. lie made references
to the sudden action of the school board in
making the changes, and said the Commits
siOners were not advised as to the motives
which influenced them, and they determined
to wash their hands of it.
Dir. Bryan stated that, in consequence of the
recent action Of the Board of Trustees, the
publishers had printed 20OOO copies of the
book, and 1t was only the duty of the Com.
missiUuers to take notice Of that fact and cor
rect the damage done.
Commissioner Dent discaimed that they re.
ccvCd any notification from the school trustees,
and lie desired to have 1t distinctly under
stood that the District Commissioners bore no
part whatever In that transaction. The school
board aud publishers of tho book must settle
the matter between them, for he washed his
hands free Of il.
Mr.. Bryan inquired If it was not the duty of
the Commissioners to have Cancelled the school
trustees contract, to which Commissioner Dent
replied that they did Immediately refuse to
give their Endorsement 10 the contract when
presented TO them, and at once disayOwed all
connection with the affair
Mr.. Brakeman wished to know II, by this
they proposed TO ignore the responsibility oi
their agents.
Mr.. Dent said be had so stated, and he re.
garded il rs u matter between the school trus
toes aud the publishers entirely.
