company of negro minsirels. lie

moral scruples. He got off with a
mild rebuke, and it is 10 be regretted
that there we're not among his judges
some who we're honest enough to say
that they we're glad their pastor had
found his way under the influence OF
harmless fun, and that they hoped he
would do it again and often. There
is no greater humbug or hypocrisy
than the current pretence, in some re-
Iigious circles, that pastors and preach

to get along without diversion. A

Seamans was called to the chair and MT. l.. F. Blackburn was chosen secretafy. The chair explained the object of the meeting and called for an expression of opinion. Judge r. Y.

 Mr. M. $. Smith being called upon, fol lowed in a like strain, and said he hoped that the people of Tombstone would be behind no community in the Union in properly observing Independence day. Tombstone was one of the liyeliest and most intensely American towns in the southwest, and he hoped it needed no cxertiOns to call out proIcr celebration of inc Amer ican day of days.

THE nomination of General J. B. Stoneman by the Democrats of Cali. fornia is a sure guarantee of a grand Democratic victory at the ensuing State election. While the partissns of each of the candidates before the Convention were warm in advocacy of their friends, still all can unite in support of Stoneman. A man with life record stain. less, always known as a warm advocate of the people, the citizens of California will rally to his support and bear him in triumph to the chair of State. Ills army record is second to none in this country. In hlm was combined the dash of Custer, the skill of J F. B. Stuart, and the per. severance of Sheridan. In civil life he baa equally distinguished himself. Possessed of good judgment, calm determination and steady will, he will make an executive that the Golden State may be proud of. His elevation to the gubernatiorlal chair will be the promise of an honest administration, and an assurance to the people cf protection from both ihe cormorant and the commune.

For the Democratic Nomination
 AS Delegate to Congress. Granville EI. ovl1.y.
Justice.

TIE Tucson paper in which was published the communication of "Union," editorially comments upon the sad condition of Cochse county affairs, As compared with Pima certainly this county is in happy state. Although only created less than two years ago, and undergoing the heavy expense attending organi- xation, its indebtedness, we are in- formed, is less than s3O,000, while that of Pima reaches up to s200,000. Yet the latter is one of the oldest counties in the Territory, and had the resources of both sections from which to derive revenue. The hospital ex- pense here is S1.ll per head, against Sl.2O there. In regard to the pur- chase of Q site for the court house, the Board of Supervisors was unable, until now, to secure perfect title. Hitherto, whenever selection was made the Board was threat ened with an injunction by ad- verse claimants. In regard to the accumulation of money in the treasury, there is no one who could have profted by its use except the Treasurer himself, and he is Re. publican. Further, the majority of the members of the Board has been both Democratic and Republican at different times, and there can be no partisan charges. Considering hos pital charges, there will be found among the records of Pima county a bill of a Republican county physl. elan for s5,500, or whereabouts, with out voucher or specified item. A bill reading simply, "for professional services rendered." and specifying nothing as to what those services consisted of. The charges made by the letter are of no political moment to the EPI- rAPH, as they convey no attack, ex- sept in assertion, against the honesty of the Democratic party, but we be- iieve this county has been unjustly aspersed by a journal that can find much larger field for investigation at home.

THE TROJAN DISTRICT.
A Rich Group of Mines Wear Arizona

A correspondent of the San Bernardino Times recently paid a visit to Providence,
 in the Trojan mining district, and gave the readers of the paper named resume of his impressions. Providence camp is Tn San Bernardlno county, about 50 miles west of the Colorado river, fifteen miles east of the old Arizona road and about 40 miles northwest of San Bernardino. When connection is made between the A. x P. and s. P. railroads the camp will be fifteen miles from the rails. We give q condensation of the correspondents opin- ions. Trojan district was discovered l about two years ago by two prospectors named R. R. Dwyer and Richard Cor man, who located several rich claims About eighteen months ago rich discov- cry was made about 8 mile and half from German and Dwyers original discovery, the first sixteen assays averaging over S300 per ton. Some orc was shipped to San Francisco and attracted the attention of the well-known expert D. B. Gillette, Jr., through whose representations the mines were purchased at handsome figures by New York capitalists. The principal mine of the district is the Bonanza King, which is now being worked extensively. About 1GOO tons of ore is on the dump, which will average $150 ton. Besides this, the original owners shipped $60,000 worth of ore to San Francisco and r,al. ized on it handsomely. The mine is now about 300 feet deep and the only ore ex- tracted has been from shafts and drifts
 The Rattler is also fine mine, yielding ore that milled $500 per ton. Mir. Gillette is the general manager of the Providence Consolidated and is winning laurals for his thorough knowledge of the science of min. Ing. A fifteen stamp mill has been order. ed from Messrs Prescott < Scott and will soon be on the ground.
 The Belle McGillroy mine is also loom- ing up finely and promises to be a fine property at no distant day. The ore frop. this property runs considerably more than $500 per ton.
 The Bonanza Queen and Prince adjoin the Bonanza King and Rustler and is also very promising mineral deposit. The Rustler, Belcher and Treasury mines are located and doing themselves proud in their yield of rich ore
 The Bucknow, Mozart and Mineral Point mines are located south of Miss Nc. Gillroy and on the same belt. The ore from all the mines are of the same genaral character and the district from all appears ances has brilliant future.

OSE of the Tucson papers of the 22nd inst. contains long commuu. cation dated Tombstone, and signed Union. It lays long list of sins 70 the Democratic administration of the affairs of Cochise county, which is rather flat proposition considering the fact that the Democratic party has never had anything to do with the administrative or other control of this county. The county officials were all appointed by Republican governor, and, good or bad, the dis. credit or credit lies not with the De. mocracy. One assertion of the let. ter has Q comical sound--that the Republican paper, but just started in this city, only promises Re- pablicanism but is in fact small
