The Hostiles in Arizona Surrender.

from Camp Thomas, Arizona. SAYS Tiffany.
agent at San Carlos. reports that chiefs,
Sanchez. Eshalow and others came into the
agency and agreed to surrender to the mill
tary Internationally. and ask for trial by the
commission for themselves and the band.
The first reports about Major Sanfords COM
mand having a fight with the Indians was
contradcted. Nothing has been heard from
Sanford himself.
About seventy hostiles are said TO have left
Cibique Creek. and are on the Black River,
near the crossing of the Apache and San
Carlos trail.
A Tucson special from San Carlos an
nounces that Col. Tiffany. Indian agent, has
rwarded his report on the late Indian out
break TO Washington. Tiffanv's accounts diff
fer but little from the reports previously tel
eeraphed as to the causes that led the White
Mountain Indians on the war path.
However, Tiffany advances some new
points. He says the hostiles have been dis
satisfied at being refuses arms and ammuni-
lion from the reserv alton: had their temper
intiamed BY mean white people, who told
them the whites would take their lands and
drive them of their coal fields. The agen,
heard Grant Ouray. the new delegate to Con-
gress. made a speech last fall, in which he
promised his efforts to drive the Indians of
the reservation and give the land to prospect
ors and settlers. These things had their
effects.

TaECHADBOURNE CASE.
A Number Of Witnesses Examined Fol
the State.

DoyEg. Sept 20. In the Chadbourne case
the examination of S. F. Witham was con-
timed this morning. He testified that Chad
bourne told him that his deaf mute son came
home about sundown all cut up, and he IN
der.,ood from the mute's signs that Watson
and tramps cut him; also told him '" hen the
dumb boy murdered Alvin Watson.
Mrs. Witham testified that she heard " at
son crying and repeating the cry twice about
eleven O'Clock the night Ct the murder She
also testified as to certain contradictory
statements Of the respondents, in the account
they gave Of the mute and his whereabouts
on that night. Wallace Chadbourue showed
her the knife that he said the deed was done
with by the mute.
Alkaline A. Libby testified as to the blood
on the rug, on the floor, lounge, window
sill, curtain and window.
Levi McKusick described the bloody foot
print, on the floor, the difference in the shape
Of them, prints of the hands in the blood
and on the lounge. and the track Of blood IN
dragging the body out. Chadbourne told
him that the mute got his wounds at the
corner of his (Chad5ourne's) house, and
asked if he thought the mute could do
the deed alone. and told him the mute went
to bed at 10 o'clock.
WIN. S. McKusick corroborated the previous
witness, and testified that Wallace Chad
bourne, before the murder, threatened Wat
son. and asked after arrested, if lie should
testify against him. He also testified to GER
tain signs made by the mute before Wallace
Indicating stabs on the body of some one.

told him that he had got to have some fun with
Watson, and if he did he would fix him.

was one. Watson stabbed the mute and the
mute stabbed Watson, and then they and the
mute followed. Benjamin Chadbourne told
witness that Watson received the fatal
wounds on the body on the lounge, and
pointed it out.
The Attorney General and County Attorney
are exercising great care in presenting the
case, as it depends upon crcumstantial
evidence entirely. There are many more
witnesses to be examined for the State. The
pnblic are much interested in the case

Badly &enrrfbtf Journal.
Angusts. Friday Morning. Sept. %.
Sincere Tributes.

There are occasions on which elaborate
signs OF mourning made for distinguished
personages are merely formal They
signify that the deceased occupied high
position which called for demonstrations
of respect. and nothing more. There Is
no heart in them. They are given to the
place and not TO the man. They are Of
ten sheer mockeries. They strike the
public as solemn shams.
But it is not 50 with the public express
sions Of sorrow caused by the death Oh
President Garfield. The words Of regret
and coincidence spoken and written on
account Of bis decease, and the emblems
Of mourning displayed in public and pri-
vate places, are signs Of genuine sorrow
and respect. The Office which he bore
does not cause the tears To flow which
have been shed since Monday morning for
Garfield dead. The regal, noble charac-
ter Of the man and his sufferings have
endeared him TO the whole world The
public voice declares with unanimity that
a man truly great and good, cast in ma
lures best mould, fitted TO lead the nation
in the way Of righteousness. peace and
prosperity, has been removed to the eter-
nal world. 1t is the voice Of real sorrow
that we hear in all the land. The dark
drapery that decks the Capitol where his
body lies is perfect reflection Of the sad
ness that fills mems minds, even In the
most remote parts of the Republic, at the
thought of the Presidents death.
Garfield was a man to respect and love.
There was not dark shade in his whole
life. lie was manly boy, courageous.
upright. hard working, patriotic. noble
hearted. fully developed man. What a
life his is for young men to study and
initiate The models Of Greece and Rome
are equaled by his splendid character
The more it is examined, the greater and
more perfect it appears. How his love
for mother. wife and children lights up
with tenderness and the rich coloring OF
domestic virtue the picture of the soldier
and statesman raised to the highest office
in the gift OF fifty millions of people. 1t
is very seldom so perfect man As Gar
field is found. Washington was such a
one. America may challenge the world
to produce the peer of them.
The great public will join in the obser-
vance of The obseoiIjes on Monday next
sincerely and soberly. Not since Abra-
ham Lincoln was laid in the tomb has
there been greater sorrow throughout the
country than now exists over the untimely
and cruel death of Garfield. In the sight
Of Him who reads the hearts of all. the
demonstrations of grief on this occasion
will be acceptable, for lie knows they
come from people stricken to the heart
and sincerely mourning their great and
noble leader.

Governor Plsisted has found ont that he
could not dispense with the services of the
Executive Council in carrying on the
government. The Argus ssys he informed
them at the last meeting that he did not
know when he should need their services
again. We can tell him. It will be when
his own services are needed at the Capt.
toll to conduct the business of the State.
He is as impotent to carry on the affairs
of the State without the Council as one
blade of pair of shears separated from
the other blade is to do effectual work.
He will not probably attempt again to
abolish the Council and run the State sin
gle-handed and alone.
