The Record of a Week as Recorded
i'm the Record of Last Saturday.

Ben Woods, an old resident OF Phoebe,
returned from Tombstone last Saturday.
de says there are a Number Of excellent
mines down in that country, containing
large bodies Of rich ore, but that the
country is fearfully over done, there being
from five to seven men for every Job, and
streams of men constantly flowing in there
from all directions. 1t is no place for a
man in search Of employment to 60. A..
Marx is in the clothing business at Tucson
with his brother. Cohn Brothers have a
good stand in Tombstone and appear to be
doing a fair business.
The McLane combination, composed of
the McLane family, the squaw Lucy and a
woman who recently gave birth to q child,
begotten by George McLane, all departed
for Arizona Tuesday afternoon. Poor
Lucy; how degraded she must have felt a
riding in the wagon and sitting on the
same seat by the side Of the woman with
the infant in her arms. During their
stoppage in Phoebe they camped down at
the corral.
p. T. Barnum, the great show man, has
an agent en- route to Hamilton, who goes
thither for the purpose Of securing sew
eral White Pine jurors, who will be ex-
hibited throughout the country during the

Since the opening of Congress it has
been ascertained that the Senators and
Representatives from Texas are unani-
mously opposed to all schemes for the
division Of that State so as to form new
ones out of it, and they report that the
public sentiment in Texas is so very
strongly against a division that if it were
submitted to a public vote it would be
overwhelmingly defeated. This puts at
rest one of the chances for agitation and
partisan and sectional strife at the present
session of Congress, and serves to remove
from the public mind of the North and
West all anxiety IN the subject. By the
strict provision of the national Consti,
tuition, Congress cannot divide any State
80 as to form new ones out of it, or to
add its territory to that of any other
State, without the consent of the State
In question. 1t is very true that this
would not prevent the passage of an act
OF Congress making provision for the
creation of new States out of Texas.
with the appended condition that the act
should be only operative in case of the
consent OF the State being given. 1t is
also true that the force of sectional inter.
est might be very strongly brought to
bear upon Texas or California to induce
those States to consent to a division in
a national administration should |
to be favorable to the scheme,
But neither the present Administration
nor that OF President Garfield is likely

lore It is gratifying to have the project
set at rest by the announcement of the
opposition of the people of
Texas to the scheme.

THE CAPTAIN.GENERAL PRO-
JECT.

General Sherman naturally objects to
having IN office created in the army over
topping all the others in rank merely to
provide a berth for General Grant. The
proposed office is not wanted, the title is
un-A merican, and the whole scheme is
foreign to our traditions and ideas. No
Captain General for us. But there are
two specific objections to this scheme
which should prevent its adoption
First-Grant has already had every honor
and emolument the Constitution and laws
as they now stand provide. He has been
paid for his services in the most munif-
cent way, in money, gifts and offices;
and while President the salary of the
Office was doubled on his account. Never
before has an American received so much
of his country as has been lavished on
General Grant. He has no claim that
has not been cancelled time and again by
the provident gratitude of the Republic.
Second-No complimentary office nor
title the Government can now bestow on
General Grant will add anything to his
dignity, honor or place in American his
tory. His work is done. He will be
judged by that work hereafter, impair
TALLY and kindly. And it is not in ac-
cordance with the spirit of our institu-
tions to stucco a brave and useful man
with titles and complimentary honors. A
should stand on his work; should
be bonored for what he does and is. No
titles could possibly have added anything
to the distinction Of Hamilton, or Greene,
or Jackson. Think of an American
Congress clubbing Washington with q
complimentary title lest people should
forget his services or overlook his great.

WHO BETRAYED THE DEMOC'
RACY?

The New York Herald says that John
Kelly was at pains to set forth in one oil
his organs a few days since a statement
of figures derived from election returns,
the purpose q which was to relieve him
of the odium of his betrayal Of the De-
mocracy in the late canvass and to put
that shameful responsibility upon other
persons. Many of the readers OF the
Herald may be of the opinion that what
such a man could say or such a subject
is Of no moment; and certainly the facts
we have hitherto printed on this point
leave no room to doubt Kelly's guilt.
His endeavors to wriggle from under the
weight of the evidence can deceive no
thoughtful person, but it may cloud the
issue of some Democrats disposed to be
deluded. Kelly argues that the State
went to Garfield because certain counties
which were Democratic strongholds I'M
der Tilden and Robinson did not give
their usual Democratic vote this year.
But why were those counties so strong
before? Because the Democracy held
the State government and all its patron
age. And why was their vote weaker
this year? Because the State is in the
hands of the Republicans. And why is
the State in the hands of the Republi-
cans Because John Kelly in 1879 d.
verted seventy-seven thousand votes from
the Democratic candidate and thus elect
ed Cornell. 1t will thus be seen that
Kelly's own argument is a boomerang
which knocks Kelly down. In addition
to this necessary result of Kelly's bolt in
1876 we show how intimate is the rela-
ton of Kelly's treachery to the Demo
cratic decrease in many counties; Tor 1T
is rather more than a coincidence that
the loss to the Democracy in many parts
of the State in 1880 substantially coin
cides with the Kelly vote of 1879.

walls throughout the town and vicinity

and few keepsakes down to his sons,
Morrison Lanes. He then settled his
business all up, bid good-by to few of
his old friends, telling them that he was
going away. He then went to the store
and bought quantity of opium and
returned to his sons, and told them
that he had lived long enough, that for
a long time he had been determined to
take his own life, that his arrangements
were all made, his place in the woods
chosen, and all efforts to find him
would be useless. Kind and persuasive
words were used, but to no avail. He
started for his own house, followed by
his son and two other men, saying, sit
is of no use l am determined, and If
YOU prevent or follow me now, shall
surely do as have said at some other
time.n When he reached home he
changed his clothes, putting on some
old cast-off clothing, except his boots,
which were new. AS he was going to
leave the house his daughter with
whom he lived tried to prevent him
from going out, but her efforts were I'M
awaiting. He went a few rods from
home, followed by his son, son-in-law
and two other men, and set down by
tbe roadside. Here again his friends
urged his giving up his opium and his
awful plan, but as they saw they were
having no influence upon him, one went
to get the daughter, hoping she might
help them before they should use force,
then as the son thought of something
that he wished to say to her, he went
into the house. Mr.. Lane thinking this
to be his chance, started for the woods.
