At the last session Of the Territorial Leg
stature, the time for the annual settlements
OF County Treasurers was changed from May
to August. For this reason found it i'm
practicable TO make an exhibit of the county
finances in May rs | have heretofore done.
This exhibit shows quite an increase in the
Indebtedness OF the County Tor the reason
that It covers ut least three-iourths Of the
county expenses for the last fUo geors and
little more than the revenue OF oHe graz. I'm
exhibit of the county finances ON the first
day OF January next, including the County
taxes of at least Six thousand dollars, which
viii be paid into the Treasury before that
time, would show a material reduction of
the County Indebtedness.

SpecIGI Tar DecIsIon.

Many of our readers will be inter- ested in the following decision regard ing the liability of special-tax of the successor in business of a firm which dissolves before the expiration of its special tax stamp. Commissioner Raum, under date of Washington, March i, 1879, has issued the following circular:
 The ruling of this Office requiring special tax to be paid by the successor in business of a firm which dissolves before the expiration of the term for which such firm has paid the special tax is hereby modified to this extent:
 That where the person or persons succeeding to and carrying on the bus mess for which the dissolved firm has paid special tax belonged to such firm, further special tax should not be eX- acted of such successor for carrying on the same business, at the same place, for the remainder of the period for which the stamp was issued to the old firm.
 But where a person, member of a firm, carries on the business after the firms dissolution, and associates with him a person who was not a member of the old firm, the new firm so con- stituted should be required to pay spe- cial tax, and take out new special-tax stamp. even though the name of such new firm be the same as that ot the old

Railroad Report-H IS Trues

Speaking of the reasons which will influence Jay Gould to secure an inde- pendent overland railroad route to the Pacific, since he has got control of the Kansas Pacific as well as Union Paci- fic, the St. Louis Republican of a late date says:
 More than that, he is almost com pelled to have a branch of his line to Kansas City, because of the fact that It is now known the AtchisOn, Topeka x Santa Fe and the Southern Paclhc have made an agreement and signed contracts guaranteeing the meeting oi those roads within eighteen months
 If the Republican is correct in this particular, Tucson will very soon be upon completed overland line, and she and the remainder of Arizona can with about equal facility do business on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; but there is, in our mind a reasonable doubt of the truth of the report. There is much rivalry between St. Louis and Chicago. and when the papers of either city are discussing subjects of competition, they sometimes let their enthusiasm if not their jealousy have free play.

THE Grant County, \. NJ, Herald, has the following:
 Grant County is still supporting pris- oners who properly belong to the Tue son jail The authorities of Pima county, Arizona, seem loath to take any action in the matter.
 The prisoners spoken of are two men who stole some horses in Tomb stone, and being tracked to Silver City, were caught and jailed there. Infor- nation of the capture was conveyed to Sheriff Shibell, and he procured the requisition from the Cover nor. But the expenses of bringing the prisoners here were not provided for, so the Sheriff telegraphed to Acting Governor Gosper, whether he would guarantee the funds, some $500, ex- pecting that, under Sec. 10 of the EX- ecutive Act, he would comply. But the answer was "Nol" The Sheriff, in the confidence that the Territory would, in the end, pay the necessary expense, also applied to the County Supervisors for their guaranty to private parties in Tucson, who were willing, on that security, to advance the money. But here also, he failed and there the matter stands. Very likely Secretary Gosper is unwilling to take the responsibility of doing what the law permits. If so, we ar( heartily sorry the Governor is not al home

LATEST FROM SONORA.
MaTscafS Forces Disbanded-Ssrnn in Peaceful Possession Of the Gov-
 erHment Of Sonora.

The following letter was received late this afternoon:
 ALTAR, March g, 1879. D. Velasco, Tucson Esteemed Friend, Brighter hours are dawning for us. The revolution seems to be at an end. To-day we have received two cour- iers, one from Magdalena with a communication from Gen. Altamirano directed to the Municipal President of Cucurpe notifying him of the disband- ing of the forces under Mariscal and the peaceful recognition of the Serna Government.
 A few hours later another courier arrived from Palma, with a communi- cation from General Serna to Gen. Lizarraga, notifying him that on the following day (the 1Sth) he (Serna) would enter HermOsillo with a force of 600 "Nacionales' and 3OOvolunteers under the command of General CarbO. The two messages coincide perfectly.
 Very Truly
 SALAzAR & POMPA. These statements are received with great confidence by those of our citi- zens wno are best posted in Sonora af- fairs, and if true, Sonora is again at peace We trust a majority of the people and the general government of Mexico are satisfied, in which case We may hope that a revolution will not soon occur again.

Blair thinks he could put up 40-stamp mill on this claim and pay for it in sixty days from the ore now in sight. It is certain that this is very valuable property.
 Florence still fingers on the sunny banks of the Gila. The people com plain that the town is very dull Evi- dently business is not as brisk there as it was year ago, but it is probable that this dullness is now at its lowest ebb. The agricultural outlook in that section this season is first rate There is considerable travel to Pioneer and Globe Districts via Florence; the rail road is coming, and there is every reason to believe that the little town will again resume its accustomed ac- tivity. We were quite surprised to find the new courthouse nearly com pleted. This is a building of which Final county can justly be proud. It is built of Adobe with solid rock fOun- dation; the roof is shingle, the wood work inside, though plain, is in good taste and has just been neatly grained. The building will contain the court room, a jury room and offices for the clerk of the court and district attorney It will be ready for the court term to be held there next month.
 Mir Bilicke, the accommodating hotel proprietor, has built several new rooms and so remodeled and refitted his house that he now has as com fortable hotel as can be found any where in Arizona. A piano has lately been added to the parlOr furniture and this room is the scene of many pleas ant social gatherings. The many shade trees, the gardens, the adjacent grain fields and running water will always lend a charm to the pleasant little vii lage of Florence.

A GENTLEMEN in from the mines near Altar, Sonora, yesterday, gives it as his opinion that Americans are in no danger of being mOlested in any way. in the prosecution of their busi- ness. Altar was quietly in the posses sion of Serna; few troops being sta tioned there, business was going on as though there was no thought of war.
 The same gentleman brought in a fine specimen Of tin ores from discov- cries lately made, the assay of which showed 64.5 per cent. metal

Sonora News.

THE CITIZEN IS in receipt of the fol lowing letter from Magdalena, in re- lation to the recent occupation of that town by the forces of Serna:
 MAGDALENA, March 16.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The revolution has put on a more serious face during this last week. Terrenate, Santa Cruz and Imures, small towns to the north, have issued "pronunciamentos," and on Thursday night, March 13, band of fifteen warriors came down from these villages and took Magdalena, without the least resistance. On Fri day afternoon, this gallant army marched out of town and some prepar. ations were made for defense in thelr absence. A few hours later, however, five men came into town by the Altar road, and warning was given by the commanding officer that they were the advance guard of a troop of sixty Altareflos, headed by Serna's son. The commanding officer, consequently, pru dently fled by one street as the Sernis- tas entered by another, and again took the town, one man only being slightly wounded in the skirmish. Establish ed in possession of Magdalena, they proceeded to imprIson five Of the most prominent merchants On Saturday, arrived a reinforcement of thirty more men: but since then all has been com paratively tranquil, the Sernistas still holding the town.
 LATER-MARCH 19.
 Serna, Jr., has gone and the troops left us this afternoon. It Is supposed that news of some defest in Ures may have caused their departure. Their stay here seems 10 have been princi- pally for money making purposes, as they have levied twelve hundred dol lars in four days visit in poor little Magdalena, for the use of the revolu- tion.
 The following telegram is also fur nished by the receiver:
 SAN FRANCISCO. March 21.-The steamer Newborn left Guaymas on the I1th March; Serna was there with 4Oo men, in addition to the federal troops. There was some hope expressed that everything would be amicably settled. General Carbo had left to meet Maris cal
 A letter from Hermosillo says that the people were expecting Carbo, and that they, also, hoped affairs would be settled.
 From all the sources of information which are avaIiable and reliable we are probably safe in stating that Serna and his followers are in possession ot the Districts of Guaymas, Altar, Ala mos and Magdalena; while Mariscal holds Hermosillo, Ures and the re- mainder of the State. Each appears to have a force of abOut twelve hun dred men; and it is likely that unless the hopes of peace above mentioned are speedily realized, there will be a sharp collision, which will terminate the disturbance for a time, by the de feat of one party or the other.

TIE new constitution of California provides that all persons between the ages of twenty-One and sixty shall pay a polltax of two dollars, except lunatics, idiots and Indians. Under legisla- tive act, providing that lunatics and Indians should not be allowed as wit nesses in legal proceedings the Su- preme Court has three times decided that Chinamen were included under the term Indians, and hence could not testify.
 Hence there Is a worry as to how the s3O0,O0O, expected to come from Chi nese poll taxes, is to be got anyhow.
