chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and II
formidable an al such time. THIS statement
Mr.. Yonn,' puts into General Grants mouth as hay-
ing brcn made to HIM III II conversation. Mr.. White
shows that the breach between Mr. Sumner and the
Administration occurred long before the American
case for the Geneva Tribunal was made up: that
Mr.. Sumner was Displaced from his position as
chairman Of Foreign Affairs in March. 1871, while
the JOINT High Commission which made the treaty
providing for submitting the Alabama claims to
arbitration was IA session IN Washington that Mr.
Sumner not consulted about the treaty or about

dated at Paris September 81 1872. In that report
Mr.. Davis took upon himself the responsibility tor

Mr.. Justus Schrab was arraicned yesterday
III II police court upon charge of having
sought to disSemn tc S0cialistic opinions By
knocking down a fellow member of that
party with char. He cleared himself OF the
charge, and was permitted to return to his
professional labOrs, which consist, as we un-
derstand, of the continual and fervent preach
ing of community Of property. which never
prevents, however, the application OF strict
business principles to the sale of beer.
Another member of the SOcialistc party was
not so fortunate. He was held on a similar
charge, implying a strange Inconsistency be-
tween the principles of brotherly love and
universal equality which the members of the
organization are supposed to cherish and the
methods taken to advance them. Bismarck
himself, who represents the Beast OF the
Apocalypse to these gently, never knocked
anybody down with chair.

Action was taken yesterday in the Assembly
upon the bill to prevent Geographic analga-
nations, which even the seyercst critics of the
proposed consolidation will regard as hasty.
The Committee on General Laws had already
reported the bill fayOrably, doing so in great
haste and without giving the representatives
of the great telegraph companies an oppOr-
tunity to be heard. There seems to have
been misunders aDding on this subject in the
committee itself, because number OF the
members echoed DR.. Hayes's declaration yes
terday that it was supposed the bill was to be
reported merely in order to have it printed.
DR.. Hayes made strong argument against
action on the bill, taking the ground that
great corporations doing business i'll the State
should he consulted with regard to legislation
having an important effect upon their inter
ests But the Assembly voted down motion
to recOGlmit the hill by 85 to 26, and then
ordered the bill to third reading.

Reply of Wm. Zeckendorf.

EDITOR CITIZEN: My attention was called 10 an article in tU-day's Star at- lacking me personally, regarding the action of the City Council in giving me a letter 10 the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad to represent to them the commercial importance of Tucson as a railroad center.
 The article apparently emana,es from the brain of the late ex-ticket- peddler of the Southern Pacific Rail- road, who, notwithstanding the fail ure of great efforts made in his behalf to reInstate himself to this office, still cringing acts the lIckspittle.
 The narFow-minded, yengeful, black mailing spirit of the editor, who: seems 10 chafe still at the loss of my patronage, may also be the motive of this unwonted interference in my per sonal affairs.
 For the purpose that my motives will not misunderstood, being accused Of want of affection tOwaros the South ern Pacific Railroad, will state that 1, in common with the citizens of Arizona, admire the energy and en- terprise of this company, and the great beneficial results to Arizona accrued by their acts, but l hope nobody will attribute their motives of building the railroad 10 feelings of affection or love towards Arizona. Cash, hard cash, (nO soft Cash) is the motto of their en- terprlses. l do not claim for myself disinterested motives in making, l acknowledge, a feeble effort, towards securing for Tucson competing line of railroad, but my interests and thOse.Of Tucson in this instance, are SO identical that my success will be TucsOn's as we'll. do not, nor have i prelended that l am able to accom- plIsh my object, but at least shall try, and fl not successful, l shall rest satisfied of having done my duty. No body will deny that the prosperity of Tucson will advance by making it railroad center, no matter who builds the roads, and only those who cringe for fsvors of a powerful corporation, and enemies of Tucson, may throw cold water on an effort, which at the utmost will not hurt anybody.
 My having been refused passes over the Southern Pacific Railroad, to which l considered on account of my heavy shipment of freight oyer that road, was entitled 10, such being customary on Eastern roads, has nolh- ing to do in the matter, and l do not act in thIs matter because I love the Southern Pacific Railroad any less, but that l love Tucson more. How ever, the editor of the Star on account of his prompt and manly defense of the Southern Pacific Railroad, whose very existence he has saved from ruin, ought 10 be entitled to dead head ticket over the road, which was refused 10 him before, and if any pe- ution is circulated 10 that effect l shall most willingly sIgn it. Yours truly, NM. ZEcKENDoRF.

No Cheap Ereizhts.

Present indications point to pos slbility of the merchants of Tucson receiving DO benefit by the new east. ern railroad connection, in the matter of 'reight rates. The control of the road from our city 10 the point of junction with the Atch!son, Topeka and s nta Fe beIng in the hands of the Southo.a Pacific gives the latter company the power to make such rates as will force large amounts of freight to pass over the Union Pacific route at such rates ss are now charged.
 This, at least. Is the opinion arrived at by large Eastern shippers who are in position 10 learn and judge of such matters. For instance, Messrs. Plankinton & Armour, of Kansas City, Milwaukee and Chicago, prob- ably the largest meat packing firm in the world. and the Standard Oil Com pauy, whose business manifestations extend throughout the whole country. have written 10 this effect to Mir. J. A. Browder, of thIs city, their agent tor Arizona. The Standard Oil Com- pany, in reference to freight rates, writes as follows: "We have no idea that they will be any lower to Tucson after the Atchisen, Topeka and Santa Fe road is completed. As long ss the Southern Pacific Railroad has control of the terminus we believe that rates via the new road will be the same as now via the Union Pacific and South. ern Pacific railroads. However, your merchants will think differently until the contrary Is shown.
 An arbitrary extortion of freight rates may, however, induce the Atch- ison, Topeka and Santa Fe 10 extend their line 10 Tucson, on the way to GuaymAs. That company seems still undecided as to where the permanent road 10 Guaymas will cross the South eru Pacific. The official map of the company printed on the back of their headquarters letters, gives the point of crossing at Tucson, and a recent letter from the General Passenger Agent at Topeka to gen. tleman in this city says that the com pany has not yet decided what 1t will do in Arizona. At all events no harm will result from the united efforts of our citizens to secure the road, even st this late day, and possibly much good my ensus.

THE COW BOYS.
Expectations Committed by Organized Thieves-Bad State of Affairs on the Rorder

We are in receipt of information from Don Jose NJ. Elias, who owns a large ranch on the San Pedro, near the Sonora boundary, in regard 10 depredatons committed by bands of Texas cowboys. Don Elias says that on the Sth of October last, eight head Uf horses, worth S1O0 each, were stolen from the front of his house. On the 4lh of January the same gang of thieves returned and stole nine horses and four mules. Four men were i'm medlately sent in pursuit of them, who, after a long ride, succeeded in overtakiOg the gang and recovered eight of the animals, after spirited skirmish and much shooting. On the 30,h of January the gang again vis- fled his ranch and took over thirty head of cattle. Men detailed 10 fol- low the robbers report them as going in the Mule Pass direction, well mounted on good American horses.
 These facts show 6 deplorable state of affairs near the border, where the settlers are completely at the mercy of marauding parties of cowboys, desti tute of any protection from either the United Staies or Mexican Government. They are liable 10 lose all their stock at any time, rnd, ln fact, they con- slider thelr present condition as far less secure than in former days, when the Indians controlled that Dart of the country.
 If this condition of matters contiu- ues long, many settlers will be com pelled 10 abandon their homes and seek safety for their lives iu the larger settlements.
 Some steps ought certainly to be taken tO ri the country of such ele- ments of terror, else citizens may be forced to combine and offer 0 bounty for cow boy scalps as the people of New Mexico do for those of Indians.

An Ancient Explosive.

In cleariD~ away the remains of one of the ruined bastIOns of Yedi- koulo, neal Constantinople. the agents of the Prefecture discovered a large quantity of gunpOwder, the ex- istence of which was not suspected before. Information was at once sent 10 the Ordinance Department, whence an expert was dispatched to examine the powder. Powder, strictly speak ing it was not, for the grains were as large as ilberts; but grain thrown into the Ire showed that the compost tion was of highly explosive char acter, though the expert could not precisely determine what the quality was without submitting 1t to analy- sis. The powder was believed 10 have been deposited where it was found prior to the conquest of Con- stantinople by Mohammed II.
