Senator Thurman has been in.

Senator Thurman has beer In
terviewed by a reporter of the
Cincinnati Enquirer on the poll
outlook. He is hopeful Of a demo
cratic victory in Ohio this fall, but
thinks it will he a hard fight. lie
thinks we will have a numerical
majority in the next House but is
afraid that we may not have a
majority Of States on occount OF
the National movement. The
House as it now stands, by States,
is Is to Is, with two States tied.
If the Nationals can carry a single
district in the two tied States they
will hold the balance of power, in
case the next presidential election
be thrown into Congress. He
thinks that Ben Butler will be-
come the National candidate for
President is he is convinced that
they can hold the balance Of pow.
er in the next Congress by States.
The police jury of Lafayette
parish have passed a rigid quaran-
tine ordinance prohibiting inter
course with New Orleans or other
infected points. The Cd article oil
the ordinance forbids the introduc.
ton within the parish Of dry
goods and merchandise capable Of
communicating the disease under
the penalty Of forfeiting the con
traband articles to the parish, and
Subjects the person or persons at
tempting to bring said contraband
articles within the parish to a tine
Of fifty dollars.
1t strikes us that the police jury
overstep their jurisdiction when
they presume to forfeit private
property,--thus assuming arbi'
trary powers not delegated to
them.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-06-30

The rendering of the verdict
against Peterson, the San Bernar.
dino murderer, is thus described by
the Times: Amidst a breathless
silence, the Judge asked the fore.
man of the jury if they had agreed
upon verdict, and upon receiving
an affirmative reply, he directed It
to be read. The foreman, Mr.. Jesse
Abels, declined doing so, and ac-
cordingly the clerk of the Jury, Mr..
Geo. H. Crafts, was called upon to
read the solemn words which were
to consign fellow mortal to the
halter. In slow and clear
voice. with an evident effort to
restrain his feelings, he read: ave,
the jury, find the prisoner guilty OF
murder in the first degree" A
hush fell upon the audience as they
strained their eyes to gaze upon the
man who was thus informed that
his life was declared forfeit to the
law. Beyond slight knitting of
the brows, however, the prisoner
showed no signs of feeling. Mr..
Paris, counsel for the defense, asked
the jury whether they were aware
that the form of their verdict left
the Judge no option but to impose
the death penalty. He was an
swered that the jury fully under
stood what they had done. The
Judge then directed the Jury
to retire and correct a technical
error in their verdict, substi-
tuting the word defendantn for
"prisoner." AS the verdict was
read the second time, two or three |
beings wearing the semblance of |
humanity, but possessed of none of
the finer sensibilities supposed to |
belong to almost the lowest mem
Der of the human family, COM
menced faint applause, but they
were sumnnarily squelched by the
frowns of their naighbors. Mr.
Paris demanded that the iurv he
polled, which was accordingly
done, each one answering that the |
verdict as read was correct. Judge
McNealy ordered the prisoner to
appear for sentence next Monday |
morning at 10 o'clock, and then
the crowd dispersed, while the
prisoner was taken back to his cell. |

Canton to County Gle, hs.

1t is to be hoped that County
Clerks throughout the State will
attend to the caution given them
by the Secretary of State, and send
In their election returns as soon as
possible after they have been prop.
erly attested by the local Boards.
It is of the utmost importance that
the people, and every section of
them, should be properly repre-
sented in the Convention, and if
any county fails to send in its re-
turns within the time allotted by
the law, that county will be dis
franchised. All the returns must
be in twenty days after the cleo
ton, and County Clerks will do
we'll to govern themselves In ac-
cOrdance with the statute. Unne.
cessary delay at such a time would
be objectionable, for it would be a
betrayal of the people.-Record.

County RetuI ms.

We give the following as the full
est report Of the election in this
county obtainable before the full
canvass. 1t includes fairly autben-
ticated returns for twenty.nine pre-
cincts out of a full thirty-flve. The
six precincts still wanting are
Azusa, Ell Monte, Fountain Valley,
Old Mission, Orange and San Anto.
Mo. The failure to secure O re-
Spouse from these may be attribu-
ted to a want of public spirit on the
part of the election officers. We
have written to each officer, but
they have one and all failed to re-
spond. The official count, which
will be made by the Supervisors
next Monday, will hardly vary
eny of the results here given in the
main, but we think 1t will increase
Glen. Howard's majority of II over
Thompson here shown, possibly to
50 or go. The total votes of the 20

FIRE AT FORT WHIPPLE-THREE
 DWELLINGS DESTROYED.

At about s o'clock yesterday morning, one of the officers quarters occupied by
 Lieutenant Kingsbury, was discovered to be on fire, having caught from defective chimney in the dining room. The alarm was immediately given, and the whole gar rison turned out to try and save the build ing, but to no avail. The building was adjacent to the Quartermaster's storeroom and magazine, which immediately became endangered and caught fire, and it was only by the most extraordinary means that this building was saved from destruction, which. had such been the case, the whole garrison must necessarily have been destroyed.
 While the soldiers were heroically engaged in saving the Quartermasters storeroom, etc, the adjoining building to the north which was also used for officers quarters, caught fire and was destroyed, as also the next adjoin- ing building, occupied Dy Captain Craigue. The fourth building was by the merest acci, dent saved from destruction by soldiers and citizens, agreat many of whom had ar rived from Prescott, taking their stations in the face of heat and fighting the demon de- stroyer with will and determination that we have never seen surpassed. The engine at Hhipple, which pumps the water to the was set to work as soon as possible and furnished plenty of water. There was but little furniture lost except that in the upper story of Lieutenant Kings bury's residence. The total loss will prob ably not ian short of $l5,000.
