THE Potter Investigating Committee resumed it's sessions in New York City on the 18th.
 General Butler asked that Stanley Matthews be summoned.
 Mr. Potter said that the Senator had been summoned Saturday, and he re- piled that an important engagement at Newport would prevent him attending. and whatever he intended to say he deemed of. no consequence to the com mlttee. From this reply Mr. Potter said he inferred that Senator Matthews did not mean to respond to the sum- mons.
 General Butler remarked that if Matthews answer meant that he would not attend or obey the summons of the House of Representatives, the sooner the issue was made the better for the House and Senate, so that the powers of both can be determined. He therefore moved that it be entered on the record that Matthews refuses to appear before the committee, and that the same be reported to the House for their action in the matter.

A Pleasant RetrOspect.

Twelve months ago an organized band of outlaws overran this county, defying the law and depredrating upon peaceable citizens. No mans life or property was safe from the gang; they robbed and murdered with impunity ; they boasted of their lawless exploits on our street corners, and threatened with violence any person who should presume to interfere with their doing. The principal members of the gang were Jesse Evans, Tom Hill, Frank Baker, Bob Martin, George Davis, Buffalo Bill" and Nicholas Provin- eio; these constituted the working DOT ton of the original gang, others did the hiding. The Independent com menced a warfare upon this gang, which has since been continued with out cessation. Twelve months ago this gang, and its supporters, and it's sub sidized press, boasted that they would crush the Independent out of existence. The Independent still survIues. What has become of the gang? Let us see:
 Tom Hill-Killed while attempting Gin company with Jesse Evansl to rob and murder sheep herder near Tule- rosa, on which occasion Evans was shot through the wrist.
 Frank Baker-Killed on the Pecos.
 Bob Martin-In jail at Franklin, Texas, charged with murder.
 Buffalo Bill "-Rusticating in the Penitentiarv for five years.
 Nicholas Provincio-Gone to meet ais friend srl comrade, " Buffalo Bill" Five years is .he lime given him to re- fleet upon his past conduct.
 George Davis-Indicted, but "can not be found"
 Jesse Evans-Persecuted martyr.
 When we take retrospective view of the past twelve months, it occurs to- us that the contest between the Gang " and the Independent has not turned out we'll for the "Gang."-Mesilla Val ley (N. NJ Independent

WE are informed that Sheriff Shibell of Pima county, has been energetic in his endeavors to capture the highway man who robbed the stage and mail at Point of Mountain on the Sth instant :; also that the substantial citizens of Tucson have assisted in the work in a systematic and powerful manner. Al our latest advices from Tucson, the robber had not been caught, but the hor,e he rode had been found in the possession of a man who has been lodged in jail. This man may not be guilty of anything, but an endeavor to keep a good horse which cost him but little and which was evidently obtained from the robber. It is believed the robber has escaped beyond the reach of Pima authorities, but if he ever arain shows himself about Tucson, he'll very suddenly lose his liberty if nothing more. The Tucson peoples patience with road agents, is exhaust ed. and with their powerful aid, Sheriff Shibell and Constable Buttner are en- couraged beyond precedent They have done their whole duty and deserve the public approval which is accorded them, and they are not without hope of capturing the robber in question.

 Signal Service.

The Signal Service, per It. Booth, is calling for bids to furnish large and durable telegraph poles in quantities from 100 to 1000, indicating a purpose to put the Arizona system of govern ment telegraph in better condition than when first built. Had this step been taken year or more ago, it would have been none to soon; yet it is no fault of the executive officers that it was not dono sooner. Congress in the first instance appropriated too lit tie money to construct a fiFst-class line, and has neglected ever since to ap propriate enough to rebuild it, and all repairs have been necessarily mere patchwork on a rotten basis. Tn a nasty look at the report of the Chief Signal Officer for the year ending June 30, 1S77,-the latest made-we
 find the cash receipts of the Arizona lines for that year aggregated S19,912,- i3. The cost of operating them for the same period, is not given. Our readers may be interested in knowing the relative amount of paying business done at the several offices. The Report gives it by stating the number of com merCial messages sent and received, (the only paying ones) as follows:

Pay as You Go.

Many farmers seem to think there is something gained by getting trusted for whatever they have to buy: Many farmers laboring under this delusion, allow their grocery bills to run for years unsettled as also their black smiths bills, and always owe for their agricultural tools and machinery. Never did men make greater mistake. There is probably no one thing that opera es SO much to keep farmers as a class behind and in strengthened as the habit of getting trusted for what they buy. It is a good rule to pay when you buy, and if you cannot do so then go without till you can pay. This makes the independent farmer, while the habit of getting trusted makes the farmer the most dependent man in the com munity-a slave in fact to all other classes.

Ahouf Candidate.

A dispatch of day before yesterday from Florence states that John G.. Campbell was there and would start for Yuma right away. That's the kind of candidate, electioneering with his collar bone broken.-Enterprise.
 Hal hal Now do please give us a good long rest. So Campbell was real ly on an electioneering trip? Never would have thought it. Such a modest, reserved candidate would be of little use in Congress. You've got your job oflce Mir Enterprise, now let your candidate down easy as possible, or by and by he will tumble and hit the ground terrible hard Heed good ad- vice. Be wise for once in your life. You have made winning, but your Campbell is 8 goner.

Round Valley and inc Bra.h Ditch.

Round Valley lies on the GIla rlver
 about seven miles above Florence, and contains some two thousand acres of very rich and superior land, SO situa- ted as to be easily irrigated after water is once on the land. This beautiful valley has remained unappropriaied until recently, persons being deterred from making any settlement from the great estimated cost of taking out ditch and would have remained unoc- cupied still longer but for the keen and far-seeing business capacity of MT. James Brash, who on seeing the place
 few months since, determined st once to l. cate the tillable portion of the
 land under the Desert Land Act, and immcdiately set e. work to construct a
 lar-e canal or water ditch, and by in domlaule perseverance the ditch is very nearly completed to the head of the valley, being about two miles in length along the rough banks of the river and in places through hard rock. But few men would have been bold enough to have risked his money in such an undertaking. The ditch is twelve feet on the bottom and will car " quite a river of water. The head dam is solid mason work, built upon a solid rock foundation that win resist any volume of water. Another year and Round valley will all be under cultivation and with it's advantages of having water the year round, must become very productive and rich ID. heriiance for Mir Brash, who well-de- serves to be rewarded, for like many other pioneers he crossed the Colorado river six years ago without anything beyond his blankets and scanty cloth ing, and in this short period, under ad- verse circumstances he has accumu- lated quite competency and laid the foundation for large and permanent wealth. Mr. Brash intends to contin- ue this ditch to his place of residence below Florence and use the water power to drive the machinery of a fouring-mill to be soon constructed. If this community had more of such men the country would be largely the gainer.
