ARCHAEOLOGY.

The science of human antiquities IS in- teresting in the extreme, and in this con nection we are reminded that relics from the most ancient ages to the more modern are of great worth in many respects, especi- ally here in Arizona, where we are compara- lively new, yet with evidences of great an tiquity. The primeval period of man has been divided into the stone, the bronze and the iron ages. The stone age or pal;eolithic is probably the most ancient of which his tory teaches, and here in the loam and gravel extending along the river valleys are found the evidences most plainly of this age.
 We would remind our readers that curi- Osities of all descriptions should be pre- served and handed down to future gen. erations, and no better time can be found to commence this work than right now, and no better place for their preservation can be found than with the Secretary of State, to be preserved with the archives and papers of the department. In the south of France, especially in the caves of the valley of the Dordogne, and of the Cro-Magnon and Moustier, exists country identical in genealogical evidences with Arizona. There everything tends to impress upon the stu dent that food was net so scarce as to de- mand any struggle for existence.
 In Arizona we have the boiling stones, rough hammers, and hoilowed dish-like pebbles, ,-and further evidences of later and entirely different race, more enlightened. By this We mean those people who made the pottery so profusely scattered over the country, even upon the highest mountain peaks. We have all the proof necessary to convince the most skeptical that the cave dwellers lived in this country. We find their caves in the San Francisco mountain country, on the Verde, and in many other places The first race on earth can be cor rectly termed those who used stone wares and implements. Next we have the cave dwellers, who were degree above the fossil man and apes, and thirdly those who manufactured pottery, cultivated the soil and were industrious enough to build mounds, temples to the sun, etc. We trust that prospectors, farmers, soldiers, and in fact all classes of people who find relics of the lost races will send them to Secretary Van Arman to have them preserved and handed down as history of Arizona as found by the enlightened American in the 18th century.
 At Santa Fe, N. M, in the Department of State, relics of the ancient races have been preserved with considerable care, and they are regarded with a wonderful degree of interest by strangers who visit that old city. Let donations commence here, with the donors name attached to each. Fifty years hence they will be greatly prized and form subjects for much study.

CLOSE OF THE SPECIAL TERM.

The present term of the District Court has been one of much business. Eleven un- fortunate men have been sent to the Yuma Penitentjary for various otfenses. and for periods from 15 months to four years and half
 Probably the case creating the most com ment was that Qf the Territory vs. c. P. Stanton. Stanton was indicted upon testi- mony of MT. and Mrs. Barney Martin and one John McCue. We have heard the tes- timony of Barney Martin and know posi- lively that he committed willful perjury. One of the grand jurors, Mir. Marsh, who has been out ta Antelope Creek, where the disturbance took place, iS also ready to swear that Barney Martin committed per jury. John Taylor, respectable citizen, IS another witness who can swear to the same. We will not stop here, but mention Judge Howard, John Bright. James Roseborough, George H. Tinker and many others who are willing to swear that Martin perjured him self when he swere that !:e could see the difficulty between Stanton and Mct'ue from his lsIartin's) corral That Martin could see the head and breast of Stanton from where he stood there is possibility, but as to him seeing McCue it is an utter impossi- bility, because tine roof of the Wilson house can only be seen from Martins corral, hence the possibility of seeing McCue who was standing near the house, according to his own testimony, is an utter impOsslbility. That the case was one of persecution is our candid belief, and it is the beiief Df John Bright, the Bates brothers and other citi- zens of Antelope.
 Wa have examined the notes taken by the photographic Ieaortery and We unhesl tatingly say that they are false, apa ti.at portion which states that c. W. Beach said this or that we demand shall be stricken cut entirely, or we shall know why. It IS not often. that Ee confpEeent on cases, but this appears to be one of such outrage thaf justice to the people of this County denii:>;n nds it. Aad get we have spoken sparingly to what might have been Stated in the prem ises.
 We do not care anything more for c. P. Stanton than for any other man. We con- slider him anything but Saint, still, when people are oppressed, we have never failed to express our views plainly In the premises

Governor Tritle will leave here for Washington, on Territorial affairs, about Monday. He is in earnest in regard to putting down crime wherever it exists in Arizona. He does not look at the crimes committed in Cochise, Pima or other counties as the outgrowth of any politi- cal question, but merely a result of set tling up a new country by all classes of people.

In letter to Delegate Oury he claims that there are not any lawless characters in south ern Arizo1a and ill another letter of the same dat, addressed to the Governor, he asks that certain property in which he is in terested be protected from lawless persons.

 NEW YORK, May 22.-Truth prints the following sensational story A mystery over- hung the clerks and officials in the New York postotfice yesterday afternoon. Those whom the exigencies of the service required to attend to their duties of reception and distribution were evidently disturbed, and whispered conversation went on among little groups of clerks relative to ''crankism" and 'assassinations." The cause therefor was the report of a bloodthirty missive to Presi- dent Arthur. The message was written upon postal card which was received at the of flee about the middle of the afternoon. It was taken from one of the lower city lamp post letter boxes. The card was addressed to President Arthur, Washington, D. C." Upon the lower left hand corner of the above vas written with lead pencil the word Private" On the reverse was written:
 President Arthur-If you do not recall the Minister from England, and ask for the unconditional surrender of all the Ameri- cans in English dungeons, you shall be shot and killed" Across these penned lines was written with black lead pencil ''Thls is no Idle boast.

The suit brought against Dick Gird, of San Bernardino, by the administrator of tba as+ata o' Thomas J. Bidwell, has caused considerable comment in this sec tioa of Arizona, where many of the cir cumstances in regard to the partnership of Gird and Bidwell are well understood. At the time Bidwell lived in Thompson Valley with his family, Gird was working for the McCrackin Company at Signal, and claimed to be partner. This was when Gird was poor man, and Bidwell was looked upon as the senior member of the firm, After the death of Mir. and Mrs. Bidwell, this partnership business was forgotten, or, at least, denied by Gird.

 Your committee appointed to examine the books and accounts of the Treasurer, Sheriff and Recorders office do most re- spectfully report that they have carefully and strictly examined the same; that we find their accounts are correct and their books kept in neat and business like man. ner and are a credit to the parties in charge. Your committee having their attention called to the delinquent tax list of 1880, find that the Prosecuting Attorney has grossly neglected his duty in enforcing the payment of taxes on real and personal prop erty to the amount of $6; 300, which could have been collected.
 Your committee would recommend that proper action sho3I1 be taken by the author ized parties empowered by law to enforce pay ment of the same. We respectfully recommend that the board alterations made in the Recorders office that will keep in proper condition and pre- serve all legal and valuable documents con fded to his care.
