A poem written by Mrs. Luther Smith
was also read and much enjoyed, and we
publish it that others than those present
may enjoy its perusal.
Old Time in his silent and mystical flight,
With sunshine and shadow, and blossoms and
blight,
Has numbered the three-scere and ten of thy
But left thee full many blessing that cheers
And tho we can trace the deep burrows of
care,
And s SS;s! threads CLEAN in the once sunny
The the footsteps are feeble, once joyous
and free,
Yet the blessings Of Heaven seem resting on
thee.
Nor bird-song and music our constant delight,
And life has its changes as well as the earth,
While grief follows quickly the footsteps of
mirth;
But over your record of many long years,
Few pages, methinks, have been blotted by
tears:
And the sun of your life is declining at last,
With the halo Of peace O. er you te lderly cast.
While the echoes float hither in musical
And we look DER the vista of fifty long years,
With their joys and their sorrows, their hopes
And wish for you each as you journey on still,
That your steps may be guided by Heavens
And the pathway of life prove smooth to the
end,
With trust more complete in your Heavenly
Friend.
Though trials, it may be, have fell to your lot,
And pleasures with sorrows have sometimes
| been fir ,ught;
Still ever through darkness as well as the day,
Has God in his wisdom appointed the way,/
And oh, when at last your life journey is DER,
And your weary feet stand on the evergreen
| shore,
Methinks for the cross you will take up the
crOtU1,
And trials and burdens forever lay down.

YUMA AND EHRENBERG
ROAD,

A letter from 'Rhoade's ranch,
dated July 18th. Says that, Geo.
w. Norton is rapidly pushing
work on his road. On Saturday
last, with fifteen men, ten miles
of road was constructed, Light
wagons can now pass over the
road from Rhoade's ranch to
Ehrenberg. The weather is said
to be so extremely hot that, the
men can hardly work. Our cores.
pondent says that the beef in the
country is fat and in fine condi-
ton, owing probably to an i'm.
mense crop of mesquite bean
raised in that section this season.
Mr.. Norton is still progressing
his road with two gangs of men
and expects to shortly complete
the road it's full length.

THE BRANNAN Ora MT.

The survey ofthis grant, made
to Sam Brannan by the Mexican
Government for his valuable aid
rendered Mexico during the
time of the Macmillan invasion,
is meeting with resistance from
some of the Mexican authorities.
The Federal Judge at Guaymas
has refused permission to Bran.
nan to have his lands surveyed.
His engineers have gone to Mex
leo and he has appealed to the
Federal Government. The oc.
cupation of this grant is resisted,
because, the inhabitants of the
Territory granted, were not, at
the time of the confirmation of
the contract, under the authority
of the Government, but were in
rebellion. The action of this
Federal Judge seems 10 be based
alone on the opinion Of some
Mexican lawyer, bat we have
every confidence that the Federal
Government will protect Bran
nan in all his rights.

THE PYLE HABEAS CORPUS
CASE.

This case has excited q good
deal of interest and attention in |
both Cochise and Pima counties,
and has at last taken turn which
must surprise any intelligent per-
son. We have a sympathy with
Pyle, for we cannot believe that
his was willful violation of law
but was convicted by persecution.
Nevertheless, he was so convict
ed by a jury and sentenced to the
Penitentiary for a term of years,
by Judge Stilwell. A new trial
was asked for and denied. APP
plication to be admitted to bail
was made to the Court Commits
sioner of Cochise county and to
District Judge Stilwell pending
appeal, and both were denied.

Judge Wood, and here comes the
most ridiculous farce known in
the history of law-an inferior
Court raising In rebellion to the
DEGREES and jurisdiction of a
higher tribunal and setting at
defiance the legal proceeding of a
sister county. Few parellels OF
this kind have ever happened.
We almostagree with the ideas
and remarks of the "Nagget" in
the matter, exceptingas relates tc
the position of Mr.. Zabriskie,
Pyle's Attorney, who is certainly
not to blame for his professional
employment and success. AL
further We have to say is that
Judge Wood is in contempt Of
Judge Stilwell's Court and the
remedy could be applied.

SALUTATORY.

The SENTINEL has been purchas-
ed from Mr.. ]. F. Knapp by the
d" SENTINEL Publishing Com
pany," and without a lengthy
Salutatory to It's patrons, marking
out It's future course, it simply
says that. 1t shall follow its for
mer motto, Independent in all
things" An attempt to please
everybody would be futile, and
hence, the SENTINEL will follow
one straight line of journalism.
1t will be the purpose of the "SEN-
TINEL Publishing Company" to
make the SENTINEL all that it
has been in the past, being the
exponent of the wants Of all, and
not of any sect or political ring.
It shall always advocate what is
right and condemn what is
wrong, and will deal with all mat
tiers in a fairness without favor or
fear. It will labor for The inter-
est and welfare of the whole
Territory and more especially
for the advancement of the local
interests of Yuma county. Above
all, it shall not indulge in abuse
and vituperation against any, mol
shall its columns be prostituted
for thatpurpose in the interest Of
any one. This being the future
of the SENTINEL, it still asks s
continued public patronage.

PROTESTING!
Manager

Under this heading we take from
the Arizona Miner" the follow
ing in relation to the repeal of
the bullion tax.
celia county, through its
Board of Supervisors, protests
against the bullion tax repeal be-
coming operative. The "Miner"
has always maintained that the
net proceeds of mines should be
taxed just the same SO any other
property. We tried to prevent
the passage of the act repeating
the law, but Tommy Gates with
his bag of gold was too much for
us anu others who opposed the
nefarious repeal. We hope our
Board of supervisors will also see
flt to follow Gila county, and also
repudiate theswindle perpetrated
by the Eleventh Legislative AS
semply last winter. Equal taxa
ton 10 all things is only just and
right. and let it so be maintain
ed"
We do not agree with the
Miner in its opinions regard
ing the bullion tax repeal. There
is IN the revenue laws of the Ter
ritory an exemption as to certain
property, as to property of wi
dows, churches, schools &C. If it
Is right, just and lawful to ex-
empt from taxation this class of
property cannot the Legisla-
ture equally pass law exempt
ing the net proceeds OF mines?
1t is fact too that, the Leglsla-
ture of 1877 exempted from tax
alton the property of the s. P. R.
r. of Arizona till their connec>
ton was made, if this law was
good and not against the spirit of
equal taxation, then certainly,
the law repeating the bullion tax
must be as valid as the former,
which has been already tested in
the Courts, as in the case of Pinal
county VS.. the s. P.l R. R. Co.
and which was heard before
Judge Silent last year, There
have been no further steps taken
in the matter, and We presume
the decision to be conclusive.
We, too, believe in equal taxation,
but not double taxation,
which would evidently be, when
YOU tax the mine itself and its
net earnings. Rather than to
agitate this question now, it would
be far better to await till the meet
Ing of the next Legislature aud
maize IL one Of the issues OF the
canvass.

DON. C. MCLEOD KILLED By
Paul BiIIick,
Three Days Examination
Billick Held Over in the Sum Of
Two Thousand Dollars to
Answer Before the Grand
Jury, for Man Slaughter.

In our last issue, we gave a
of the Silver District
tragedy, in which Don. G. Nc
Leod lost his life at the hands of
Paul BiIlick. The examination
was resumed on Monday, the Ter
ritory being represented by the
District Attorney, Judge 81. n.
Alexander and the defense by
Judge Samuel Purdy Jr. Sever
al witnesses were examined on
Monday for the prosecution and
the defense. We were not pre-
sent at any time during the ex-
animation which attracted con-
siderable attention and crowds to
the Court House, and have heard
only the evidence from those
who were present. The argu-
ments of counsel were heard on
Monday evening and the case
submitted to the Court. The ties.
timony being exceedingly volu-
minous and it an important case,
besides being one of the Judges
first cases, it was taken under
advisement until Tuesday at 4
o'clock P. NJ. when the Defend
ant Billeck was held to await the
action of the next Grand Jury in
the sum of two thousand dollars,
to answer the charge Of man
slaughter: AS is usually the case,
the verdict Of jurors and judg>
ments OF courts don't please
everybody, as in this: case there
is a divided sentiment of opinion.
We learn that the testimony was
conflicting. Billick gave the re-
quired bail of $1,000 with Neils
Johnson and J. B. Monteverde as
bondsmen and this for the time
being ends one chapter of most
unhappy and regretted tragedy,
where one young man in the
bloom of youth is hurried into
eternity and another to stand
soon before the bar of public JUS
tice suppliant for his liberty.
We refrain from animadvertipg
upon the deed itself, its sad con-
sequences, the trial or the judg-
ment of the Court. We have
sympathies both for the deceased
and the defendant, at the same
time we from a conviction say
that the Magistrate in his conclu-
sion and finding could have acted
only from a careful analysis OF
the testimony, deeming it that it
would be better for the public
and the defendant to let the
Grand Jury examine the matter.
which fact the defendant should
court himself. Our relations in
life with the magistrate who
heard the case prompts us to
know and say that, he is just and
impartial. If we have any COM
ment to make, it is this. Ii
seems strange that when so
many men were around they
could not interfere and avertsuch
a dire calamity and in closing our
! remarks on this matter, we can
but believe that mutual Trlends
could have prevented this diff
Guilty, where the dead OF that day
to-day could be living and the
defendant with his full liberty
to-day.

WHAT ThEY Lose.

What our planters lose by the
slip-shod manner of handling cot
ton, has not received the attention
it deserves. They have no adequate
idea of the amount of their loss
from this cause. An incident at the
Atlanta Fair shows this loss to be
81 cents per pound!
This is about half the present
value of their crops The illustra-
ton came about in this way: Il
planter brought some cotton to the
Fair in the seed to exhibit. The
price of cotton on that day was 10y
cents. A manufacturer present Saw
the cotton and offered Sirteen cents
per pound for the lint. The cost OF
commission. insurance, storage,
ETC., is light comparatively. The
loss of tie planters arises from bad
picking, bad ginning. bad baling.
sand, dirt, etc. This SHOWS the vast
Importance of intelligence, skill,
and untiring waichfulEess in refer
ence to the whole process of pre-
pairing the crop for market from
beginning to end. Negligence and
ignorance are costly. Our planters
should become scientific about their
crops. knowing, especially, and
applying their knowledge, scrupu-
lousy and always in time. They
can in this way about double the
value of their crops. Worth the
labor, isn't it?-7ar- Payers Organ.

IT is now pretty generally under
stood that tie Governor will call
an extra session of the Legislature,
after the holidays. This will proba-
bly, enable the over-worked stste s.
men to take in the Mardi Gras fes-
tivities during the latter part of
February. Then the regular ses-
sion, which meets on the second
Monday in May, ana lasts sixty
days. will enable them to celebrate
the Fourth of July in the city, or
at Baton Rouge. This will perhaps
satisfy them until the return of the
next holiday season. Can our pub
lie servants stand the strain and en-
dure these hardships for any length
of time? But whether they can or
not, we believe their patriotism will
prompt them to cheerfully make
the sacrifice, Tor the sake of their
constituents and four dollars a day.
