The Yuma county road bill has been signed by tie governor and the members of our delegation are correspondingly happy. They made strong fight and deserve credit. This county needs the projected road, and although we do not like the terms of the bill in many respects, still we are glad to see the appropriation made even if connected with ob- jectionable features. The ohjec, tions we have had were not di- rected against the appropriation itself but against the manner of it's granting, and we maintain we were exactly right. The board of road commissioners should not contain a railroad employee for the reason that, III the matter of transportation, it is presumed the railroad company is always inim- ical to any enterprise or construc- tion that makes even the Slight. est inroad upon it's monopoly of business in that line. Further the bill is defective in setting no limit to the time of construction of the road, and six dollars per day is to much for the commits sfoners. Lastly democratic le.
 gislature should not reward those republicans who did all in their power to defeat the democratic party in the last campaign. When
 we consented to temporarily edit this paper we did so with the un- derstanding that we were to write what we felt like. We have done so. This paper in our hands has no individual friends norenemies but is devoted to what we consid- CT the best interests of the people of Yuma county. |, advocating those interests we have no one to sconciliate and propose to ventilal te, without more than an average amount of fear, all acts and mat ters tending to operate against the welfare of the county in
 which we have pitched our tent.

The Eleventh Legislative Assem-
 bly,.

The session of the Eleventh Legislative Assembly is approach ing it's end, and we can truly as, sert we are not sorry. There has been none but special legislation in behalf of favored localities. It looks as though poor old Yavapai has been made a tool and a cats. paw of and we are sorry for some reasons. The people of Prescott have been unusually courageous and energetic in enterprise. They have created 3 beautiful town and the residents of the county at large number a large propOrtinn of those pioneers who met the trials and dangers of the early days with a bravery and fortitude that has become historica l. It i a county of Americans and has our sympathy. The result, how, ever, has been inevitable. The railroad has developed the re- sources of the southern counties in excess of the northern, and the tide of immigration for thes last two years has set one way. The governor is accused of mani pulating matters in behalf of re- moval of the capital to Tucson. It is natural he should. The south, ern section presents a wider field for the operations of his speculai tive instincts. For the first time in our experience, the north has divided. Apache county has fallen out of line and a divided north has succumbed a to united south.
 Yuma county has secured heh share of the spells, and the dele. gatiOn from Maricopa seem never to have swerved, from it's home allegiance. The counties have been several as desired and seve. al individuals have been made happy by the receipt of offices.
 As far as we are advised there has been but little general legis, lation of importance except the action upon the registration and superior court bills. The council as possessed all the elements of utility and the members thereof have behaved with commendable dignity. The House has been a mere mob from the beginning, entertaining the country with a succession of scenes that would be unseemly even in bar room. In our next issue we will have a resume of all Acts passed.

Bolan has been found in contempt of the House, and the editor of the Democrat asserts that Judge Tucker is always to be found in the same contempt. It is con- t,mptible affair all around-a sort of an association seemingly organized to breed contempt. As far as Bolan is concerned, as his vote made no difference in the result we can hardly understand the necessity for haul ing him up to the rack. The resolution suspending him was an effort worthy on ly of a petulant school boy, and against which every intelligent nan in the House voted.

 We recommend Harry Woods to perusal of the United States Statutes at Large for 1875 and 1876. There is a section on page 9l, that will make pleaant reading if our view is correct. This section was left out of the Revised Statutes but, in our opinion Is nevertheless good law. Under its pro- visions the original Cachise county bill became law by reason of the failure of the governor to take action within ten days. Oh, ye statesmen! We knew of all this but did not care to enlighten you

The Miner is after the governor for for cing legislation. Whom did he force? We believe with the negro husband. that there must be two parties to a 6 forcing" con- tract. The Miner is eminently right if it states facts. If the governor withheld his approval of bills until the passage of }avorlte measures, he was guilty of dis graceful lack of dignity.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 81. In connection
with the case of the Tichborne claimant, now
attracting attention here, the point has to-
day arisen which would seem to go far in
support Of claimants pretensions. Itch
borne states that he came to the United
States after his visit to South America,
following his departure from England, and
married in Brooklyn. N. Y. This is en-
tirely at variance with any of the disclos-
ures made during the trial Of the case in
England, and is in fact a new presentation
OF the matter. Now comes a respectable
gentleman, a mining engineer, well known
in this city. who says that he was well &C.
quainted with Tichborne in his youthful
days in England and that subsequently he
met him in New York about the time OF
his marriage. This, it will be remembered,
was many years before the affair came into
prominence by virtue of the claim raised by
Arthur Orton. The gentleman says if this
is the real Tichborne he will certainly be
able to recognize him. He will immedi-
ately be given an opportunity to do so on
the return of Tichborne to the city.

is nothing reliable as yet.

We are somewhat surprised that newspaper like the Star should attempt to usurp the prerogatives of judge on the bench by trying and deciding the most important mining case-as far as the value of the property involved IS concerned-that ever came before the courts in this Territory. But the Star appears to have no realizing sense of tbe impropriety, but publishes the testi- mOny of the Rescued" side of the "TO- tai Wreck" case before it is adduced in the court, and then renders it's ex parte decision. It is clearly case of con tempt of court, but then we presume if the court reads the article we refer to the contempt will be mutual It IS quite important case, from the fact that the property has proved to be SO valua- ble that every possible claim that might be made upon it has been made, and its decision will more fully establish what the rights of mining property in this Territory are.
 We presume that on the strength of this ex parte newspaper decision the "Rescued' people expect to have a boom (?l in stock. An officer of the Rescued Company met a friend on the streets recently and remarked that their stock was going way up. The friend wanted to know the hoisting power, and was informed that 1t was on "the strength of the lawyers opinions" That IS powerful backing for a stock boom, | the opinions of counsel employed in the case. WedOn't know why the opinion of a newspaper employed in the case should not be as good, and we doubt not the stock will go way up (?) SOberly, and | all joking aside, the case between the Total Wreck and the Rescued from the Total Wreck will be tried in the courts and we would advise no one to buy on the opinions of attorneys or newspaper retained in the case, unless they want tC gamble on the fearful odds between tho value of Total Wreck and Rescued stock. Then, we fear the investor woul, be much in the condition of the inebri ate who was charged by friend witl being intoxicated. The impeachmen was denied, when the friend offered t bet ten dollars to one. The bet wa taken and the decision was left with tn inebriate, who admitted that he wa drunk and paid the bet. When aske, why he bet when he knew he would los, he replied, ''The odds were so great
