youngest of his class. Af;er graduat ing he was invited to take charge oi the Union High School, al Hamilton, Madison county, New York, the school numbered about 800 pupils. where he remained and conducted it with signal success until his failing health com pelled him to resign. He was then invited by G0v. Stafford to come to Arizona and take charge of the Pres colt school.
 In the Fall of 1874 he commerce. his school work Tn Arizona. The school at that time in Prescott num- bered about twenty pupils. Under his management, assisted hy his excellent sister the school has been graded and now numbers about 200. The old school house has given way to a new one that cost S20,00J, and the school would be a credit 10 any town or State.
 Mir. Sherman's whole soul is wrapt up in education and we predict tor him a bright future, and for the schools under his management high condI- ton of prosperity.

THE CITIZEN.
Our Legislature.

The legislature adjourned last Fri
 day and the people can once nor
 lake long fee breath that al leas
 rest of two years will be given them
 and the hope that worse body vii
 never again assemble to make laws fol
 the people.
 The meagre reports from Prescott
 leave us much n doubt as 10 the fate of many of the bills that were pending towards the close of the session. Bul enough is known 10 establish the fact that the indebtedness of the Territory has been largely increased, and nolh- ing has been done to relieve the burth- ems of the taxpayers. The Territory has been run in debt al least $50, 900 10 aid in building wagon roads. Mari copa and Yavapai counties have had forced upon them a railroad enterprise involving a subsidy of $4O0000 without the people being consulted as 10 whether they wanted it or not. We know nothing of the merits of this enterprise, whether it will prove bene- ticial or not, but we do contend that lhe taxpayers should have been con suited before such a large sum of money should be forced from them.
 A bIll passed more than doubling the fees of the district attorneys. The contingent expenses of the legislature were fully double of any previous one, including SlOO extra pay to each mem Der of the legislature. Among the bills that will prove of benefit we notice amendments to the school law increasing the school revenue, separat- ing the office of Territorial Superin-. tendent of Public Instruction from thel Governor, and apportioning the Ter ritorial school fund according to the whole number of children instead of upon the attendance at school. Also. a general railroad incorporation law. We are informed that nearly every bill that passed the legislature was put through by trade or even worse in fluences, so that we may feel truly thankful "with such state of affairs ' if any good bills passed. We are par tlcularly pleased that a bill passed which we hope will insure fair census and just appOrtionment. We have very good reports from our own delegation, 10 the effect that while they were in most instances pOwerless to combat against the whirlpool of buying, selling and trading, they pursued straightforward course and the respect of the best people.

WE do not observe in our dispatch es, or Tn the reports of Congressional proceedings, any mention that the Gov ernment is about to approprIate $500. 900, for roai building in Arizona, in accordance with the recommendation of the Governor. Perhaps pressure of business, or the necessity of raising forty of fifty millions more than usual for the Pensioners, may necessitate a delay of our little matter until the next s ssion. We consent, providing interest be allowed. Mir. Stevens, please see to that. By the way, has any body got precedent for our claim. Con- gress Is great on precedenls, and we should not fail to have one. Did any body ever hear that the Government had appropriated any money To build roads with, except incidentally to the movement Of its troops or stores? Let the old men speak up, after duly pol ishing their recollection. We shall take pleasure in caring for a thing of that kind.

WE can not pass the time without A
 word in reference 10 the case O. F. c. Jones, tried Wednesday for the killing of
 Charlie Robinson, and acquitted by the Jury. There were jus' two things in this case which conspired to bring on the
 tragedy, man half full Of meScaI ana another armed with a revolver, and ready on slight provocaJion or threatened with slight danger. to shoot. The jury evident. ly believed that Jones thought that Robin son, when advancing toward him. with his hand upon his hip, was doing so with The intention Of shooting Jones. The jury was probably correct. But, if Robinson had not been "balf fuil' Of mescaI| he wouldn't have been troublesome. and 1T Jones had not had his ready revoIverI he would not have shot; and as Robinson had no arms, the who thing. in which -here was nothing al all, from irst to las. would have ended in scuffle and noth. ing more.

Under this title the Sentinel gets of two-thirds of a column on the late divorce legislators, from which we ex tract as follows:
 Their greed has led them into oyer doing this divorce business so fragrant ly as 10 attract more attention than ton. 5
 Onr late legislature actually passed one bill divorcing fifteen couples. One of that lot of divorces cost over $1000 in compensation to legislators; of this one We happen 10 have accurate information. We learn that many oi these divorces were in utter ignorance of what was tTansDlring at Prescott and that a large proportion of them were not even residents of this Terri tory. The people of Arizona cannot shirk or dodge responsibility for the infamous and shameless conduct of the legislators they elected 10 office
 Now will our righteou,ly indignant brother of the Sentinel, frankly answer this question having some relation % this "infamous and shameless con "ductg" Can President Hayes "shirk GOT dodge responsibility in this be- half, any easier-if at all-lhan can the people of Arizona
 The people of Arizona elected one branch of the Territorial law-making power, and President Hayes appointed the other whose approval of such "in- famous and shameless conduct" has aroused indignation" Don't be too hard on the people of Arizona (fnr whom you find some excu>e) with whom you live, move ana have your being, and entirely omit 10 hold our excellent President 10 some account

Revolution m Sonora.

By private advices received today from Sonora il is certain that revolution has again broken out in that unfor Innate State. Gen. Serla is known to have pronounced in Alamos, but furth CT news has not reached us, except that there is hope that federal troops will interfere and stop the trouble.
 Sonora has for a couple of years back been or the high road to pros perlty, and it was hoped that affairs would so settle themselves as to place ihe State Tn the prosperous condition it had some twenty years ago. Gen. Nariscal has done all in his power 10 maintain peace and quiet, and his ef forts had been nearly rewarded, when this news comes and must necessarily give all industries a great blow.
