Purdy A bill provid ng for bankruptcy proceedings is under discus sion and seems likely to pass A bill has passed both Houses, separating the office of Clerk of the Board of Supervisors from that of Recorder This will help out local politics amazingly; the great trouble has been tbat there were not offices enough 10 go around, which made it hard to hold any organization together. Additional help can be given by separating the off ces of Assessor and of Tax Collector from that of Sheriff, and by making the office oi Probate Judge elective.

TIE Maricopa legislators went into cau- GUS with the Yavapais, and agreed to let the Capital alone in consideration of hay ing the Territorial Prison moved from Yuma to Phoenix. Whenever it becomes proper to move the Capital from Prescott, Maricopa Wells or Flo e ice will suit Yuma just as well as PhenIX.

Directors Meeting Contract Made for about Four Hundred Miles.


 At meeting of the Board of Directors of the Southern Pacific Railroad Con- pany (Arizona), held here at Yuma last Monday, it was decided to enter into con- tract with the Pacific Improvement Com pany for the construction of the road clear from Yuma to the line of New Mex ico, a distance of about 400 miles. The contract was signed that day by the Presi- dent and Secretary of the s. ?. R. R. Co.,, and by Col. J. H. StrobrdgG; President of the P l. Co. It has probably been signed ere this by the Secretary of the latter company, and is in full force and effect. The first sixty-foUfr miles of the road, al- ready constructed between Yuma and Texas Hill, were inspected and formally accepted The necessary authority was given for payment in bonds of the com- pany. secured by a mortgage given to Trustees.
 No part of the route beyond Marieopa Wells has yet been officially determined nor have maps of the route beyond that point been filed in L. s. Land offices. But strong force or engineers is carefully surveying several lines, in order that the route beyond Maricopa may be selected by the time construction reaches that place: by the middle to the end of April at latest.

Gloomy Editorial from the Appeal.


From the editorial in the Appeal
Of Saturday morning we make the
following extract:
The present 10 1ks black, ugly and
forbidden, made so not so much by
facts as by croakers. The future
seems to be surrounded by a Iurid hue
that dominates the frightful yellow
tint, the sign of horror, woe and sor-
row. The yellow-fever, the first case
of which was announced on the 9.b,
now counts its sixteenth victim. 1t
counts more. It counts the present
destruction of the trade and industries
of the community, and threatens the
property which represents the accu-
mutations of the labor of the present
and preceding generations. The yell
low fever is in front of us, but beyond
it may easily be discerDed the torch
of the incendiary, revealing the starv-
ing thousands who to-day have no re-
source. Never was city in 90 deplO.
rable condition. Most of her leading
men are absent. Of all who, under
other circumstances would be fore
most aa leaders and advisers, but few
are now here to share the dangers and
counsel the bewildered people what to
do Every man has made provision for
himself and those dependent upon
him, but there has not been one word
heard in behalf of the poor, no pro-
vision has been made for the safely of
property, not one cent has been sub
ecrioed to maintain an integrity that
once assaulted by hunger will be found
very " eak, indeed. The city govern
ment is powerless and helpless. 1t
cannot use one dollar of the money in
its treasury for the purpose of Contend
ing with the fever or succoring the
poor and needy, and it cannot levy a
tax for that purpose, and II it could,
could not collect 1t. AS for the county
government, it will take no thought
concerning US, for if it did il would re-
suit in nothing. The State can contrib
ute nothing for our benefit, what the
Fderal Governmet can do remains to
be seen. Our condition ia seemingly
without any relief.

HOMICIDE IN KINGSTON.
William Burnett Killed by the Town
Constable.
KINGSTON, Tenn, July ]


Mr.. EDITOR: Yesterday after<
noon, about 5 o'clock, our town
was thrown into a state of excite
ment by the shooting of VIM. Bur-
nett, by John M. Williams,
Constable and Town Marshal.
The facts in the case, as elected al
the inquest, are about as follows:
Burnett AMI Sawyer Hart were IN
the brick house above French s
Hotel, with two men from the rail-
road. drinking. They had some
difficulty among themselves, and
Williams was endeavoring to get
Burnett home. He succeeded in
getting him out of the house, on
the sidewalk, but could not get him
further. He then notified Burnett
that he had him under arrest. Bur
nett said he (Williams) could not
take him. They parleyed for some
time, Burnett having an open knife
in his right hand. Williams finally
got hold of Burnett's knife hand,
drawing his hand behind him, and
tried to take it away from
him, calling on numbers
of citizens to arrest him, but
no one seemed inclined to do so.
While matters were at this stage
Burnett called Hart, who was still
in the house, to come out and help
him. Hart came out and jerked
Williams away from Burnett, leav-
ing Burnett Loose with the knife in
his hand, and Heart holding both of
Williams wrists. Williams then
called on Constable Raglan to assist
him; Raglan came toward Burnett,
who advanced on him and threatened
to cut him. Raglan backed, drew,
cooked and presented a pistol, when
Burnett stopped, but refused to give
up his knife. Hart and Williams
were scufaing, during this time,
Williams finally drawing and cock
ing his pistol, while Hart held both
his arms, presented the pistol at
Hart but did not fire. Burnett now
turned toward Williams, and made to-
wards him with knife raised, saying:
eff you shoot I'll kill you" When
Burnett had got within about three
or four feet of him, Williams turned
his pistol under his left arm and
fired, the shot striking Burnett in
the left breast, probably going
through the heart and left lung.
He died in about forty five minutes.
Hart was placed in Jail under the
charge of felonious assault with in
tent to kill. | give the verdict Of
the jury of inquest, which seems to
be the unanimous opinion of the
community. Yours, truly,
ROANE.

will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, We hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
As a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

Mr.. EDITOR: We attended the
closing exercises of the Normal School
at Poplar Greek Academy to-day. The
exercises consisted in oIa,ions, decla-
matioLs, essays, and debate. All
who participated in the exercises &C
quilted themselves with honor. An
address delivered by Mr.. G. Y. Hag-
gard deserves special mention. Sub
ject, Life is q Battle Mr.. Haggard is
ev IDENTIFY young man of rare
a'ents; and shows great versatility
of mind. He is fue figure, OF m :
mandiDg appearance, aud speaks such
pure English as falls upon the ear
almost as softly as the vesper bells.
His eulogy on the ladies' displayed all
the force of language, and both culture
and taste in the speaker, provoking
many smiles from the gentle sex, hat
fingered long. Notwithstanding this
was old Roane's first attempt at
Normal School, it was brilliant sue
cess, and is but the harbinger of still
greaterl success that is to follow. We
think Prof ssors Crawford and Nor.
rlson shold be highly complimented
for the patience and industry they
have exercised, to which may be at
tributed much of the success. The
