special features have been Boston. Hartford and
Erie hrsts which fell TO Sos from 81, and are IS as

THE LAwLEssNEss IN ARIzoNA-A CHARGE
AGAINST THE u. s. MARSHAI.-One reason assigned
for the reign OF lawlessness In Arizona, and very
likely the principal reason, is that the United
States civil authorities there are unable to do any
thing for want OF means. The United States
| marshal there cannot get any money to pay the
expenses OF his office and therefore cannot make
| arrests The law requires all United States mar
shals to turn into the treasury at the end OF every
nscai year the government money which they may
nave on hand. This the marshal for Arizona has
refused to do for the past two years. Until he
does turn In such moneys the first controller OF the
treasury Will not recOmend that any money for the
| expenses Of his Office be advanced him. When
the cow boy troubles were so serious short time
ago some money was advanced the marshals
ofnce in Arizona, but it was not sufficient do
much good. The fact that the marshal has not
compiled with the law has been laid before the
President with recommendations that a change
be made.
A STRONG EFFORT is being made for the re-
moyal of Collector Andrew Clark, at Atlanta,
Georgia. The President has, however, promised
Collector Clark fair hearing before any change
is made.
NAVAL ORDERs.-Capt. j. H. ellis to command
the Minnesota 18th inst, relieving Commander H.
L. HowisOn, who is ordered to special duty. Mas
ter G. T. Emlnons, from the Colorado, and granted
