The Case of John strode.

The case of the Territory vs. John Strode was concluded about midnight last night by q verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. We deem this judgment on the part of the jury an ample vindication of the justice or the case. In some commlni- ties, possibly, the gra3e of the crime might have been reduced to manslaughter, bu, with us it IS necessary To rebuke the use of deadly weapons with a steiner voice. The only wonder in the matter is. that the courts were able to arrive at just conclusion, for on the day when the killing Of Buck took place it is pretty certain that nearly every body in the neighburhood was more or less under the influence ot liquor, and, especially, the two men whose quarrel resulted so fatally, and who went about all day flourish ing reyolvers and abusing each other, were from hour to hour drunker and drunker.- Citizen.

The chroniels,. con.titutlsn.

Ia the late contest in California, between labor and capital, between education and ignorance, the friends of universal suffrage throughout the Union will see what power they are giving to the Socialists, the Kearney- ites, the blackguards, the demagogues of this country.
 The Chronicle, the seIf-styled friend of the people," has started the ball rolling, which will enrich itself at the expense Ot others. and which will dwarf all the leading industries of the coast. It has led aIl those people, who need logical advice more than any other class, to fallacious reasoning, to falsoconclnsions. Now, with all the egotism and assurance of self-appeinred leader, it protocols to lay tine plans tor political campaign at the next election, which will, if successful, accomplish fully it's designs. Thin grand scheme conceived by time in the bran of disappointed hopes, was ushered into existence by the defusct politicians of the lstate, by the music of the elegant, pol ishesi, suaye ana affable language of the live paper"
 Having grown into successful existence, itncw seeks, through these same would be leaders, to be in ifs turn, the parent of a political combination, which if fortunate, will accomplish the ruin its unwise ambition commenced.
 ii has been forced upon the better class of people, through the medium of the suf- frsge of the minimizing, uns ducated mass es. Through the appeal to the passions, to the poverty of these masses, by tue played out tlemagogues of the State, ihis misform- ed orphan, so-called child of tlic people, but really an off.priDg of the Chros icie, has been laid at our door and even pushed into our homes. Having accomplisheu co much Of its object, the Chronicle seeks to per suaoe the people to keep this abortion alive by giving 1t further power through these same dcmagogues, who are the nominees of inc Chronicle IL calls upon the people to organize and form new party, tot lily ig- noring all former classes, cliques and com binations. We nope II aecomplislIes its ob- feet. We hope that this outcast Of joar- naIisip. this paper which should be refused asmiitance into every refined household, v,ll succeed, like a barn-yard fowl, in mounting the debris. with which it is sur rounded, and growing over the fallen iDsri futioils of our, then 10 be, once prosperous State, Such a result will then teach d nev- CT to be forgotten lesson to the intellectual scholars, to the business men, to Fhe n0n-yo ter. who, by their failure to promptly stamtI out of existence this curss to ths country, have drought on ali these disasters. It is themselves they must blame Yet, notwithstanding the excellence of the ies- son which the Chronicles success would teach, VIC wish for a better state of affairs. We hope that the self made business men. and the inteliiget working men of tbe State will put the reins of government next Fall in the hands of honest men. Men who will govern the State ID as moderate man ner as their oaths of office and the Chroni- cle's Constitution will admit.

A stately Caravan.

General Grant has beleld many singular sights since he was abroad. He is the first man who ever made the .'tour of the world undersueh fatterins circumstances There is no part of the globe in which his fame has not proceeded him. People of all chimes, civilized, semi-civiIzed and barbarous, have hastened tn do him honor. His visit to India was the occasion of grand display which will doubtless finger in the mind of tue General as one of the most pleasing and remarkable episodes in the history of hls travels. On hrs departure to Lucknow 6 lIne of enormous elephants were stationed along the railway track near the station, a battery fired of a royal salute, military guard was drawn up facing the station, and a band played one of our National airs, while the British officers and civilians stood with uncovered heads. A weak man might be overcome by being the object of such marked attentions, but it is believed Gen. erai Grant will return home stronger Re- publIcan-in the National sense of that word-Than he ever was before. According to his own confession, the many brilliant Tn which he has participated, and the exciting scenes he has witnessed, have no other influence than to heighten his affection for his native land.

VIEWS ABOUT ALASKA.

Captain Dall, of the Coast Survey, has issued long review of the Alaska situation, as the telegram has 1t, in which he sums up his ideas of what Eastern Alaska needs and should have. Of cousre, he considers it not only absurd but outrageous that an extent of country containing 5O0,O square miles of territory should be left entirely without government, and without protec- ton against native Indians and imm igrant whites. Alaska cost the United States Government between seven and eight mil liens of dollars. Whether it was worth that amount, is not to be considereu here. It became American, and our Government gave an implied invitation for people to go there aud settle. IL had military force, and a government, and Naval forces for protection of the people, the country, and the revenue. It abandoned them all, and left its newly acquired territory to the chances of Indian forebearance; withdrew its forces, their commander, of course; left the reckless whites to teach the ln1lans hcw to distIll whiskey- but kept Collector of Customs there to collect few dollars, at the expense of many to the Government and, in fact, abandoned Alaska to its h. dians, it's ottors, and its snows.-can Fran cisco Alta.

FROM MINERAL PARK.-We are in re- ceipt of letter from Mineral Park of date May 18th, coctaining the following items ::
 Hon. A. E. Davis has settled down to the practice of law and has considerable to do
 Times are dull in consequence of the shutting down of the Park mill The mines are lonking we'll and capitalists from abroad are examining them with view of invest ing. Mess. BIiggs and Culoh are much pleased with the mining outlook ana will, il is thought, take hold and develop some of the very rich odes that are so numerous around Mineral Park.
 Mails from Prescott arrIve at the Park in 70 hours, S4 hours behind time or over the schedule rule.
 Lawyer vs Merchant case resulted last night in hung jury. Assault and battery is at a premium.
 A man named I. Conkey put a fearful head on MT. Coon, yesterday, broken jaw and closed optics chief injuries. The Sher. If has not caught him up to this writing. The woman's name is Martha.
 A rich strike on the Juno" alias "Katy" mire. the property of Wm. Towie, is the latest mining talk.

A car load of lumber, redwood class, is about 10000 feet, and the tariff on the same from San Frarcisco, per rail to Maricopa. is $23s, making n thousand feet of lumber at Maricopa, worth $52. Add freight from the railroad 10 Phenix, say ten dollars, which brings it up to $6s per thousand, at Phenix. This is the very lowest estimate that can De made on lumber, therefore we can easily conceive that Prescott can more than compete with California.

POOR GEN. SUFFER.

 The Sun commenting, says: The man wao first found gold ln Arizona is equally un rewarded. He is an old Spaniard named Berardo Freses, aud keeps miserable tav- ern.
 The Sun is little of in regard to Mr Proves. He Gss not the discoverer of gold in Arizona. although to him is due consid' erable credit for the discovery of rich hill. Antelope. Mr. Proves keeps large store on the Little Colorado and in connec- ,ion there with, an excellent staiion.-Ep MINER.

The city of Prescott, which IS, by nature
 located more favorable than any other place in the West, lacks only one thing to make it regular paradise,-and that is water. Let those who have the interest of our rown at heart, move in the matter, see that we'll IS sunk on Cauitol hill, machinery put up whereby water can be raised into mammoth reservoir and from that pipe laid through different parts of our town for con- ducting the water, which could be uti- iized in irrigating shade and ornamental shrubbery, and for extinguishing fire, should one break out. Our plaza should be en- closed with nice picket fence, planted in shade trees and made an ornament to the city, instead of being as it is, barren waste in the center of our handsome Village. To make the Improvements we would suggest would not cost mucn, and it would more than pay in enhancing the value of prop erty throughout the town. Let us awake to the necessity.
