COMFY ISLAND.

There was a sensible diminution in the usual sum-
mcr attendance at this popular seaside resort yes
terday. The chill in the breeze blowing over
tho Atlantic had lettering influence, but
SIN there was a considerable crowd-probably
ten or fifteen tEousand--on tho beach. Nothing like
the rush aud crush OF the days IN July and August
was seen, and yet at either OF tho large hotels the
arrivals by the fast recurring trains had the Gus
tomary imposing elect, especially at the Hotel
Brighton, where they stream out from the cars
IN oattalionS and appear US IL they would never
cease coming. The bathing was not INDUCED in 10
any great extent, as there was rather cool ana Wig

Morgan's Defense.

Every one who knows Benjamin Morgan
 as lawyer knows that he is not dull man
 that in argument he is quick, loglcal anC
 full of resources; but on Saturday evening
 1t was painfully evident that he had under
 taken too tough a case. His ideas were con. fused, tame, sluggish and devoid of that
 brilliancy and sparkle that usually charac-
 terizes his oratory. He seemed to be labor ing agalnst hope of success, if, indeed he was possessed Of one essential element in the composition of hope, via desire, There are instances in lawyers experience, no doubt, when of his own knowledge, or by confession of his client, he knows the real facts to be all against him, and that to save the case he must invent plausible theory in his favor; this appeared to be MT. Nor gan's position. and in casting about for such theory nothing occurred to him bearing even the semblance of probability, that could possibly be of service to him.
 Thus lie dragged along through. an hour. pitied by the thoughtful portion of hls audience, cheercd by few brawlers em- ployed for the occasion, and yelled at by band of small boys who had been furnished with roman candles and other fireworks as remuneration for the noise they could make around the bonfireS, and which, 1t was hoped, would be received as enthusiasm for Campbell. The spectacle of a man of genius md talent standing before an audience for m hour without making single point Detrsys weakness in the cause he repre- 1 'ents too apparent for anything but pity. 1 We venture to say that he would not under | akc another such case, as this in which he | las volunteered, for round fee. He evil | lently did not realize the helpleSsness of his ase until he undertook to argue it. Own | ID. Mr. Morgan, and confess tGst it was the worst case you ever undertook to defend. nd that your heart was Rat in the work.

Gen. Fremont in San Francisco.

Gen. Fremont was interviewed by Call and Chronicle reporters, at the Palace Hotel San Francisco, on the evening of the 18th His party consists of himself, wife, son daughter and James Kitchen. S. C.. Hast. ings, A. c. Bradford, Sam Brannan, D. J Staples, Peter Dean, Chris Refs, Jacob Shew Loring Pickering, R. Cheenery, A. W. Von Schmidt and others were appointed to meet him by the Pioneer Society.
 He told the Call reporter that his stay in San Francisco would probably not exceed two weeks.
 He will take up his residence in Prescott and will make very few changes among the ofhce-holders of Arizona. He will pursue a resolute course with the Indians, with whom his frontier army career has made him con- versant, especially with the Pimas and Apaches of eastern Arizona While care fully avoiding interference with the Feder- al authorities, he will protect life and pio- perty as far as possible. In regard to the railroad question he was very reticcnt, mere ly saying that his policy will be to encour- age any enterprise which will build up the Territory, which, he thinks has marvellous mining interests awaiting development. His few remarks on this subject, however, show that he is acquainted with the railroad question here. He says that the A., T. S :. F. railroad has plenty of means, and will push work forward as fast as possible. The Southern Pacific is already across the river. and before long Arizona will have plenty of rail communication with the world to the east and to the west.
 He first found his way to this coast over the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevadas in 1S43, as captain. Subsequently he was appointed Lieut-COloncl of Rifles in the regular army. He left this coast in 1861; {; csme back on business about three years ago. The general was visited by quite a number of old frierds at his rooms. Among them were General Mcdowell and other army officers.
 A regular reception and grand time gen orally was in preparation.

The Stock Raisers Meeting.

On Saturday next, Sept. q, at two o'clocl
 p. m., the Arizona Stock RaiserS Associa
 tion will meet at the school house in Pres
 colt for the purpose of completing per manent organization. The stock raiser. generally seem to take lively interest il effccting this object; therefore, it is expect. ed the gathering will be a large one, of the representatives of the raising of stock of all kinds.
 It is evident now that pastoral pursuits, next to those of inning, arc to be the lead ing industry of Arizona, and it is important . that those who are to engage and grow rich iu the business should begin right; that is to say, make good and wholesome laws and regulations for the control of stock on the range, and it's recovery when stolen or strayed; see that every stock raiser has brand, that the brand is recorded, and that the record shall be made as public as possible, so that every stockman n the Territory may have chance to know every other mans brand, etc. These aHa dozens of other usefal rules and regulations will be considered and acted upon at the meet ing. Let there be general turnout, es- pecially of the cowboys.

The disgraceful attack upon the proprie. tor of the MINER, published in Tuesday's issue of the Enterprise, would, under ordin- ary circumstances, seem to call for some sort of reply; but the proprietor aforesaid,
 is away from Prescott, and the temporary manager of the paper does not feel called upon to go down into the filth and slums of iourn: :slism to engage in dirty war of words such as this would involve.
 He has tried in d twenty years experience in the newspaper business to occupy at least respectable place in the profession, and shall not now descend to that lower plane to which, by accident, as it were, he seems to be invited.
 Mir. Morgan, in his address on Saturday evening, correctly defined the true mission of a newspaper, and it occurs to us that if he should read yesterdays Enterprise, i'm partially, It would afford him new matter to set up in his indictment of the venal press, and give him another opportunity to lecture on the honesty, morality and purity of journalism.
 To such of our friends as have inquired what course we shall pursue in the matter, 1 and what we shall de about it, during the absence of the editor and proprietor, we l answer nothing It is entirely out of our | line, and we propose to go on in the even | tenor of our way, giving the people news instead of billingsgate, and in commenting on transpiring events, we shall endeavor to | do so in the language of gentleman. To do otherwise would be to betray the tenn porary trust reposed in us, and to lower the in the estimation of the public, from the enviable position it has occupied for years, to level with the venal press so ably described and justly condemned by MT. Morgan in his speech.
 This is all the MINER designs to say with reference to this matter until the return of the editor, who is now far oa his way to the Little Colorado.

 the Yavapai delegation ny which ,Maricops
 county was to receive an appropriation foI
 roads and slice of Yavapai's Territory, and
 that Woolsey was to receive the votes of the t'fa~apai delegation forC rCongress, Col Wool
 sey authorizes Us to repeat, is wickedIy and
 rlaliciously false, and without foundation. otiIer than, as he stated from the stand on Saturday evening, viz; that proposition was made to him by J. II. Marion, which he rejected as unworthy to be entertained for a moment.
 Col. Woolsey as a Representative from
 Maricopa County, has always felt friendly
 to YavaDai, where his own county had to
 look for a market, and always voted for
 measures favorable to Yayapai whenever he could do so and at the same time do justice
 to his own constituents. In this spirit, and
 believing Prescott to be the proper place for the Capital he voted for it without exacting or being promised the support of anybody for Congress.
 A majority of the Yavapai delegation did, in professcd gratitude for his services, with John II. Marion at their head, without solicitation on the part of Woolsey, volun- tarily pledge him their support Tn case he should conclude to run for Congress. ISome of the pledgors have kept their faith and are fighting the good fight, while others seem to have considered their duty performed in the making of the promise Ii this version of the facts connected with the re- moval of the Capital to Prescott still be dis putcd let the doubter apply to Hon. \. L. Moellcr, member of the Council, who will verify every word of it.
 That the two delegations voted reciprocaly 1 Tor each others bills is not denied, legis- 1 ation is always accomplished by mutual | assistance, and if Col. Woolsey had the tact I 70 procure appropriations and other benefits | Tor his own county 1t is certainly evidence | 'f ability in that direction, and warrant | .hat he could and would do more in Con- yresS towards securing appropriations for Arizona than one who as a member of the | egisature should sit and suck his thumbs, | md do nothing for his constituents.
