Assistant Attorney General Eaan.

Charges made by J. Madison Wells agains,
any citizen of Louisiana are UNDECIDED by
those familiar with the scaly reputation
Of that old fraud. But lest such charges
might have some effect abroad, il is proper
that he be shown clearly liar. With the
just reward of his misdeeds before him he
impotently RACES and ISLANDERS all those who
under the law are required to aid in bring
ing him to justice. All the gentlemen SLAM
dercd by him will be defended But in the
instance of the Hon. j. C. Egan, Assistant
Attorney General, it is proper that the
journal published where he has lived for
the latter half of his life, and which is sup
posed to know the truth about him, should
speak out in his defense.
The accusation that Judge Egan stands
indicted for tho murder Of brother attor-
ney is false.
Twenty years ago, Judge Egan, then a
young man, became involved in IA difficulty
with +. J. II. Jones, Esq. The deceased
was man of great popularity; but in the
midst of much feeling and prejudice the
grand jury found against Judge Egan a bill
for granddaughter. He stood his trial and
was acquitted. From that day until b,
was appointed to the responsible position
he now holds. he lived in Claiborne parish
where the trouble occurred-lived dowr
every feeling against him 10y the most pre-
| JUDGED of his enemies, and occupied pro
I fessionaily and socially the highest posi-
ton. We have known Judge Egan init
matcly from childhood, and can testify tina
no man stands higher in Claiborne parisl
than he. He has done what Wells cal
never do. lie has lived down all feeling
against him 10y a blamelcss private life
by a strict morality and fearless honesty
To-day. even among the warmest friend
of the unfortunate gentleman whose lif
was lost, Judge Egan commands unllmite
respect and confidence. In him the Stat

Colorado Desert Lands.

WASHINGTON, January 31st. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has written a report OD the Wozencraft bill, providing for the re- clamation of the Yuma Desert. The Commissioner, in response to inquiries of the House Committee, says that ln- asmuch as under the existing laws fertile lands have all been given away to actual settlers, there seems to be no special reason why desert land may not also be SO disposed of, particularly where the recipient goes to the expense of rendering them arabic by irrigation. He finds, however, that this bill Is defective in many specified respects, such as Its failure 10 define exact boundaries or to provide what shall be considered sufficient irrigation, or to indicate the manner of payment to be made by the beneficiaries when their title is perfected.

SANCTION OF ACTS OF ARIZO.
 MA LEGISLATURE.
New Phase of the Texas-Pacific and
 Southern Pacific Struggle.

NEW YORK, January 29.-A Tribune Washington special says: Representa- tive Culberson and Conger, of the House Committee on Judiciary, have for several days been listening to argu- ments for and against the passage of a resolution giving Congressional sane tion to acts of the legislature of the Territory of Arizona, passed during its last session. Under ordinary circum- stances a resolution of this kind would attract little attention. The laws in question would be referred to a sub committee, which after giving them a nasty examination, would report favorably, unless there was something unusual contained in the acts. In the present instance, however, ap- proval or disapproval of these laws ln- wolves an important question now at issue between the Texas Pacific and the Southern Pacific Company of Cali fornia. The latter, under the manage ment of Huntington, has completed its road to Fort Yuma, and Huntington is desirous of pushing his line eastward across Arizona over the route already selected by the Texas-Pacific road. The California charter of the Southern Pa cific of course confers upon it no rights beyond the boundaries of that State, but Huntington has secured the pas sage of an act by the Legislature of Arizona granting to his company a charter to extend its line from Fort Yuma to Ell Paso. The Texas Pacific interests of course is strongly opposed to thIs extension, and its attorney has already made an argument before the subcommittee, showing why, in his opinion, this particular act of the Ari- zona Legislature should not be ap- proved. Huntington, on the other hand, favors such approval. The sub-com- mittee will report on the subject with in two or three days.

An Editors Life.

There are some things about an editors life which are anything but agreeable. His time is never hIs own, it belongs to his newspaper and patrons His work like that of the housekeeper, is never done. One paper is no sooner finished than another is begun. There is no let up,' and no vacation. Then, again, he has so many different par. ties to work for, so many individual tastes and wants 10 remember. We have sometimes thought that old pa uons come to feel almost an owner. ship, not only in the paper which they have paid for, but also in the editor something as a parish seems to own Its minister, who is called upon for all sorts of private as well as public work, till he may we'll begin to doubt whether he really has any persOeal individual ity, whether he is not a machine to be passed from one house to another, like sausage cutter in hog killing time New England Farmer.

J. N. COHEN & O., have shipped forty thousand pounds of Clifton cop. per to the railroad during the present week Their total shipment since Jan. uary 1st, 1877, amounts to almost one million pounds. This copper although shipped from Silver City, IS really pro duced in Yayapai county, Arizona. Il is handled at this point only because this is the natural outlet to all that section of our neighboring Territory even as far west as Globe City. We notice, however, that our Arizona eX changes pay but little or no attention to this item of their mineral produc. tion.-Silver City Herald.
 THE CITIZEN has frequently noticed the great wealth of the Clifton Copper mines, and also the extensive opera tions carried on, and the large ship. ments of copper made by the owners but the remoteness of these locations renders mining news from that quarter very uncertain and seldom.
