Referring to the report published

the Daily Stock Exchange has the fol
lowing: Wemay say that Mr.. O'Brieu's
friends make no secret Of the fact thai

certain Spanish woman were well IN.
derstood by them. but as for marrying
her, he had no thought of it, nor did
she expect it of him. He provided for
her in a princely way during his life,
and just before his death, by a mutual
understanding, settled upon her an
enormous sum, some SAY oye a mil
ion dollars. OF course she, in return
tor that, gave up all claims upon his
estate. If the woman now designs at
lacking the will, and setting up the
plea of marriage, the executors know
nothing of it. The whole story about
marriage and a contest of the will is Il
sensation, and it is thought by some
that it was only %concocted as a pretext
for giving to the world Mr.. O'Brien's
real relations to the woman, and with a
view to bespattering his memory.

as much as any one about the private
affairs of the late w. s. O'Brien, de

J.. G. Duncan was called upon in

him. His counsel stated that he would
like to have until Saturday to plead or
demur to each and all the indictments.
The latter We're Their read, Is in all.
1t is claimed by Duncan and his

will amount to nothing, being based
on balanced pass books found in the

r E DAILY SENTINEL.
SUNDAY, MAY II, 1878.
nlDiCULE WILL NOR ANSWER

An attempt is made to diminish the
force of the Florida confessions 10y
covering them with ridicule-and ridi-
Guile where it is applicable and sppro-
pirate is a very powerful weapon. But
to be effective, ridicule must be based
on logic. 1t is an ~extravagant pre-
sentation OF some truthful phase of a
subject. But where ridicule is wholly
inappropriate, it becomes offensive n
shocking. Then it is a weapon which
recoiIs on those who employ it. There
can be no ridicule of death, or of relig-
ion. No more can patriotism be made
ridiculous, nor sincere penitence. Ridi-
cule can not be applied to matters ofso
much moment as the preservation OF
II free institutions of Government.
The usurpation of the office OF Presi-
dent of the United States can not be
maintained by an effort to throw ridi-
Guile on those who expose the fraud and
confess to participation in the crime.
It is too serious an affair to be drowned
In ridicuie. "You can not" once re
marked a statesman, "you can not
ridicule the wounds which a soldier
has received in defense of his country"
Neither can you take from the greatest
of crimes it's color of guilt by ridicul-
ing those who would bring the guilt to
light.
On this subject the New York SIN
says: We are told that the Florida
men who have confessed are men of
little consequence. In reply it may he
said they we're of enough consequence
to make MI. Hayes President of the
United States. If they were of suffi-
cient consequence to make him Presi-
dent by fraud, we think they are of
sufficient consequence to put him out
by telling the truth, especially when
they are sustained by strong corrobo.
rative evidence.
No question can arise of graver i'm
portance to this country than the ques-
ton whether we have in the office of
President a man chosen by awful
votes or an impostor; and it must be
gravely met and intelligently answered.
It can not be ridiculed out of existence;
and that point may as we'll be under
stood on all sides at nee. The people
demanded an investigation which shall
result in an official establishment of
the whole truth. They care less what
the truth is than they do about having
it authoritatively made known. They
care less who shall prove to be the
President elect than that the President
elect, whoever he may be, shall have
the Office.
To attempt to dispose of this great
question by ridicule is idle and shall
low. There is 40 point Of view in
which it can be made a trivial matter.
If the right to have a Chief Magistrate
Of the peoples choosing is not import,
ant, and if this can be converted into
ridicule, then the blood of W wars
has been ridiculously shed, and our
whole system of government is ridicu-
lous. This is a conclusion to which
the people are not prepared to come.

Stage Robbery.

From GIr J. II Onstott, of Picket Post,
who was a passenger on the stage robbed,
Sept. 3D., about 20 miles west of Maricopa
Wells, we get the following particulars Of
the occurrence. Barney Lee was driving,
and besides Onstott there were on the
stage a chinaman, blacksmith and
stock-tenGer, the two latter being en-
ploYees of the stage company. About
nine o'clock 2. NJ, when near the Chin
MES, the stage was stopped by three armed
Mexicans, one of whom spoke very fair
English. The passengers were made to
get cut and to hold up their hands until
these could be tied behind them. All
hands aid the stage were then taken a
short distance from the road The men
were carefully searched, but not stripped.
Onstott had a pocket-book with $40 and
some checks il his vest pocket; this he
managed to take out and throw into g
bush, while marching from the road with
his hands tied. From him the robbers
took IS, silver watch and his blankets
from the Chinaman they got 1886: and
from the stocktender S2S. They broke
the eXpress-boX open with an axe, but got
nothing. They cut open the mail bags
and scattered their contents. There was
bright moon: Onstott watched then,
closely, and Gays he saw them pocket no.
thigg from the mails. They took three
bars Of silver bullion, the stage horses
and started South. The driver and pas
sengers walked to Happy Camp. and had
TO wait there two days, until another stage
came along. 4 party of thirty Papago
Indians was put on the robbers track the
the next morning, properly stimulate by
cash ir hand, and offer OF contingent re.
wards. The tracks followed were of six
horses and one mule, being of three rid
den by the robbers and of the four taken
from the Stage. They were followed to s
camp: from there part of the tracks con,
timed to the southwark and part turned
off to the northwest. The pursuing party
was divided in two, and we shall no doub
soon get good news from one or both o
| them.

SOUTHERN and Eastern Ari-
2ona have been deluged with
heavier and more continuous
rains than we have before known
during the ten years we have
been here. The ella river, near
Florence, has been SO swollen for
the past month that it could sell
dom be crossed by wagons. 1t
has been in that condition this
week. The ella valley, between
here and Florence, has been inun-
dated for miles. Hugh Hender-
sons toll-road, at Antelope, has
been covered with two or three
feet of water for several miles.
The Santa Cruz river and valley,
near Tucson, have been impass-
able. Mails have had to be car
ried across the San Pedro for
weeks by men on 1901. Men can
cross where neither wagons nor
saddle-horses can stand. The
ella, at San Carlos, and Black
river have been torrents, and are
still unsafe. The road to Camp

has been entirely destroyed.

THE Tucson Star may yet come
ont as an illustrated paper, like
the Police Gazette. Murder and
robbery have loaded its columns
for the past month. Any great
crime furnishes an item of live
news, and publication Of its de-
tails is legitimate newspaper
work. But a country Journal
should have a higher mission
than merely to thrill its readers
with startling headlines. Its
County's interests are not mate
rally advanced by intoxicating IN
the minds of outside readers an
idea that blood and plumber are
the only topics with which the
County can inspire it. To shrek
for vigilance committees, and to
gasp for "minute men," may do
very we'll for home use; but such
efforts do not attract emigrants
TO new country, when made
through its newspapers. Shock
ing crimes have lately occurred
in Pima County; so have they in
Sacramento, and in other parts Of
the United States, where the
laws are enforced neither more
nor less strictly than they are II
Pima. We don't want to deprive
the Star of any of its "glory,'
but we doubt the wisdom OF
necessity Of causing useless alarm
among people who contemplate
coming to Arizona.
