 EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 20. s a. m.-The President has passed a quiet night and this morning his condition does not differ materially from what it was yesterday at the same hour. The swelling of the parotid gland is free from pain this morning. His pulse is9S, tenn perature 9S.4, respiration 70.

 Dr Bliss feels much encouraged at the condition in which he finds patient this morning. He reports him having passed a comfortable night, sleeping considerable at intervals.
 Unofficial Bulletin.
 ExECTTIvE MANsIoE, August 20, I15 D. m.-The President has taken nOurish- ment through the mouth several times to-day, and in considerable quantities. In all he has swallowed ten ounces of rouniss and four ounces of milk gruel without gastric disturbances. It has not been thought prudent up to the present time to give him any other kind of liquid food, but juice of beefsteak is being pre- pared and will be tired soon to ascertain fl 1t be retained and assimilated. An eneInata was administered to the patient this forenoon, consisting of 3i5 ounces of beef extract, with yolk of an egg.
 WASHINGTON, August 20, I2.30 p. m.-. official bulletin) )-The President con- tinues to do well. Hc is taking liquid food by the mouth in increased quanti- ties and with relish. Nutritive enemata are still successfully gwen, but at longer intervals. Pulse 1O7, temperature 9S.4, respiration IS. At the morning dressing the wound was doing well and the pus discharge was of a healthy character. After the operation of August Sth the flexible tube used to wash the wound at each dressing readily followed the track of the ball to a depth of three inches and half. At each dressing, however, a small quantity of healthy pus was ob- tained, which was believed to be from the part of the track of the ball beyond this point, which came spontaneously or after gentle pressure over the interior urface of the right ilesc region, but this deeper part of the track was not reached by the tube until yesterday morning, when the seperatiOn of a small slough permitted the tube tO pass unresisted downward and forward for a distance of l2i inches from the external incisiOn. This facilitates the drainage and cleans ing of the deeper parts of the wound, but has not been followed by any in crease in quantity of pus discharged. The large pus cavity which has formed in the immediate vicinity of the broken rib is filing up with healthy granula- tion, and the original wound, as far as that cavity, has healed.

EDITOR CITIZEN: As the Dos Csrs,. mining region, situated some loo mn. east of Tucson and l5 southeast fror, .L station on the Southern Pacific ra7,,.5 known as Wilcox, IS exciting some Q. tention, a few remarks from mo ,L,-. the principal mines may be consida-.J of some importance to those wbo ,,L- am interest in this great industrv
 The mines that shall mention in .,... notice are on what s known as tba p;- Lead, running merry east and West +,-1 miles north of the town of Dos Care,.- in the county of Carhise. The min this lead are gOll, which must r,.y.- them of great value, providing the C-s ;s of sufficient richness.

LET US HAVE FAIR PLAY.

Everyone admits that the county Is at present as well served in the office of Sheriff as it has ever been. Sheriff Paul and his under-sheriff and deputies have, as far as We can ascertain, made efficient officers and have maintained peace and quiet and have discharged every duty, no matter how aoduous or dangerous, faithfully. In frontier county the duties of this office are not the most pleasant or safe. And we think We speak the sentiments of the community when we say that they deserve fair and con siderate treatment at the hands of other officers whose duty it is to determine their compensation
 The people have elected both the Sher- if and the Board of Supervisors, and be- cause the majority of the board does not happen to be of the same politicl faith as the Sheriff We hope is not allowed to influence the action of the board. In fact, We would not presume to say that it does, but we do think that the Sheriff has hardly received that treatment at the hands of the board which he merits.
 We might mention as one instance the refusal to allow the bill for the pursuit, capture and return of Potuslli from Fl Paso. It was such bill as any Sheriff in his discretion would incur, and the refusal to allow the bill operates as an advertisement to all criminals that they are safe from pursuit when they pass the lines of Pima county. The peace and good order of the county and the secur- ity of life and property demand that no expense be spared to bring criminals to justice.
 In the matter of assessing the prop erty of the county, the work has never been more faithfully performed, and that, too, at a personal expense to the Sheriff over and above his allowance, of about S400. Now, this is not right. No public officer should be compelled to stand such loss to enable him to fully discharge his duty, and we do not be- utNt tue ldA Day tlS NdlA lilll tD liAdAAt any such sacrifices.
 In the matter of collecting taxes the Board seems to be following a different plan than ever before, treating the pres ent Sheriff as they did not his predeces- sOr and in some respects their action looks hardly reasonable or fair. The estimated total of the taxes to be col lected in this county this year is SS4,OOO Of this some s10OO0 is due from the railroad company, and will not be paid to the Tax Collector. Then the delin- quent tax will probably amount any where from S15O00 to S20,O00, leaving sbout S60.000 that will pass through the hands of the Collector. As the amounts collected will be turned in daily, not more than 5000 or 5000 are liable to be in the Collectors hands at any one time. As security for this sum the Board asks the Sheriff to execute bonds ] in the sum of S75,000. Now, Sheriff Paul can give any security the Board l might ask, but it would seem that such | a bond is unreasonable, considering the | paltry sun that he will have on hand at | any one time. This appears more incon- siderate, as it has not heretofore been

THE CRISIS.

The President still lives, and if the reports telegraphed from the national capital are reliable. hope has again taken the place of fear, and measure of conf dence, at least, in the Presidents re- covery has been restored Such crisis as the one the President has just passed through has been predicted by medical writers who regarded the chances of re- covery as largely dependent upon the turn matters then took. That crisis has passed. the President still lives, and matters have taken more favorable turn. and while the situation is still critical. if he continues to improve dur ing the balance of the week, there will be stronger grounds for hope of his ulti- mate recovery than ever before slnce the dastardly attempt upon his life was made.
 While recognizing the critical condi- tiop in which the President has been for the past six weeks, the CITIZEN has only once conceded the worst, and that was when his death seemed almost certain, AIS far as could be ascertained from the telegraphic reports. We are not yet free from apprehension, but our hopes for the best are strong.
 The seeming certainty of the Presi- dents death has led to considerable newspaper comment upon his successor and his probable course in case he should be elevated to the Presidency through the great national calamity. Arthur has certainly been placed in a most trying situation. His relations with Conkling have made him appear antagonistic to the policy of the man whose death, at times momentarily expected, would ele- vate him to a position where he could control the patronage of the nation. Be if said to the credit of MT. Arthur that since the sad occurrence which seemed likely to raise him to the responsible position of President, he has ceased to play the part of a partisan and has con- ducted himself with the dignity and good sense WHICH usis Sblll lltI4tA tlAC ANSPSNt NA all.
 No one can predict what a Vice Presi- dent will do when suddenly elevated to power. The experience this country has had necessarily causes apprehension, but Arthur has had the benefit of severe criticism for the past few weeks, and ought to know by this time what the people want. The sentiment of the peO- pie has unquestionably sustained the chief executive in his contest with Conkling, and any attempt to undo his work will meet the unqualified disap- proval of the great mass of the people.
 We do not think it fair to Mir. Arthur to assume that, in the event of the Pres ident's death, he would outrage public sentiment to the extent that many pre- dict, and the nation has the right to ex- pect that he would make an honorable administration. He is a man of ac- knowledged executive ability. is experi- enced in affairs and man of integrity.
 While hoping that he may never be put to the test, the CITIZEN is not dis posed fo pass an adverse judgment in adva,,pe

THE VIEW TAKEN IN WASHINGTON.

General Allen, of this city, who has
 just returned from Washington, says that in the National capital but little hope is entertained of Garfeld's recov- cry. The bullet was so large, and going slowly took in a large amount of foreign matter-clothing, etc.-which itscattered throughout the whole course of the wound, and keeps up the irritation, which, it is feared, will lead to the for nation of fatal abscess. It IS certainly to be hoped that the fears entertained in Washington may not be realized, and the latest news is of a rather more nature.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gosette says that every man of intel hgence and observation in the Russian capi- tai now sees that it was mistake on the part of the government to execute the murderers of the Czar in public instead of in prison. Had the execution been private nearly every body who was not Nihilist would have said that the assassins were rightly served, but when the prisoners in their tumbril were dragged in chains through the street the gen. eral sense of justice gave place to emotions of pity, and when the scaffold was reached and the culprits were hinged "a cry of pity burst from the lips of every one present, even of the guards and the police.

No sooner the thought than the rod is put together The finest gut bottom is attached,
 e No hook thereto spliced, and a cockroach lightly impaled.. By standing on the crown of a willow, some 15 yards of, I could see the head of my quarry, though he could scarcely see me by reason of the natural exi- gencies of the laws governing refraction and reflection. Very quietly I let my bait down on the water, and paid out the fine line to within three feet or four feet of the nose of the trout. Now had arrived the time for finessing. With the utmost circumspection, with slow, fluent, gliding motion, the cock roach was lowered on-on-on-til within a few inches of the fsh's mouth. Then I water. No notice took he. My heart again failed me, well nigh at least, for had tried by this time persistently for some weeks to capture this lordly fish, and as each failure was added to it's predecessor, my desire of possession naturally grew greater and great- CT. However, very, very gently moved up 8 few yards and again watched the bait down toward the stolid fish. This time the cockroach had sunk deeper in the water, and with . sort of chuckle, watched it gradual ly approach his muzzle in the same plane, and not as before, rather above. As 1t neared him, to my inexpressible joy, saw his under lip show as if it had by some mechanical im- pulse connected with the bait, automatically moved. Nearer passed the bait onward, the jaw lowered yet, and, like child taking a sop, like an unfedged bird taking in worm, it passed behind the portals of that polished head.

He had been conspicuously advertised as director, and no notice was given of his retirement, further than to omit his name from the pub lished list of officers. The concern failed. A depositor sued this ex-director for his claim. on the ground that the deposit was made in ignorance of his withdrawal, of which notification ought to have been given. The Supreme Court has decided for the plaintiff. Judge Sterrett says: ''Where an ostensible or known member of 8 copartner- ship retires therefrom, and wishes to shield himself from liability for further debts of the firm, it is necessary that personal notice of his withdrawal be given to all who have had dealings with the firm, and that notice be given by publication, or otherwise, to all others"
