Uncertain Speculation.

HALIFAX, August 16.-The recent purchase of the schooner Conquest, about twenty years old, by General Butler, of Boston, has caused much comment and surmise. The vessel sailed yesterday, ostensibly for . port in Madagascar, with stores sufficient for thirty or forty men for nine months. There embarked on the Conquest only two boys, besides the captain and mate, who sailed in her from this port; but the departure of twenty seafaring men to the east ward by land conveyance within a few days leads to the impression that the vessel is not going to sea light handed.

WHEN the San Carlos Indians are killed off, by the organization exist ing for that purpose, there will be peace in Arizona and q wonderful increase of prosperity. Vast tracts of the finest grazing country in the world cannot be utilized now owing to the constant fear of an outbreak of reservation Indians. Immediately Tn the neighborhood of Tombstone immense herds of cattle, bands of horses and droves of sheep, could be given pasture if only the Apache scourge could be put an end to. Secretary Teller's promises to dis arm the Indians seemingly were only made to be broken, and the people of Arizona, apparently, have no re- source but to improvise a remedy of their own. We know nothing of the existence of any organization, in the premises, but accept the statement of the Tucson Star that there is one.

A Pertinent Subject for Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, August 17.-Capt. John Mullan, of California, has filed with the Secretary of State a petition inviting attention to the second ar rest in Ireland of Henry George, of San Francisco. The petition speaks of George as native born Amerl- can journalist, author and gentleman of irreproachable character, and urges that his second arrest be promptly inquired into by the United States authorities. In submitting the peti- tion, Captain Mullan explains that he assumes the responsibility of calling the attention of Secretary Freling- huysen to the matter in consequence of the absence from the city of the entire California Congressional dele- gation.

OUR morning contemporary of yes.

OUR morning contemporary of yes terday, in an article headed "Rather Costly" expresses some would-be wise ideas on the rate of taxation established by the Board of Super. visors. It finds fault because the rate fixed for the Redemption Fund.-" provided for the payment of the Court House bonds, is only three cents on the s10O, claiming that higher rate of taxation should be levied against the people, so as to reduce the principal as well as pro- vide for payment of the interest. These Court House bonds are pay able in fifteen years, and it is but proper and just that the smallest quota of payment possible should be made by present property holders, for strong reasons. Owing to the great expense incurred in the estab- lishment of Cochise county, and the regulation of the chaos existing in all new governmental organizations, the people of the present have had to bear an unusual burden of taxation. The county necessarily became in debt. It is only just that it should be left to future property holders to bear their share of the debt, as has evidently been the intention of the Board in making the levy. Present owners of property have acquired their, possessions under adverse cir cumstances, and by hard struggle. Those resident of Tombstone have suffered heavy losses, In the devour- ing af1ictions of two confa. grations, and yet, according to our contemporary, the rate of taxa ton should be heavier. The asser- tion, in the article alluded to, that the levy for the County General Fund is too high, is equally fallacious and unjust, and the assumption that the amount derived from that levy will be absorbed in expenses of the county is absurd. It is the duty of the Board to provide for the current expenses of the year, and, as much as justice to present property hold CTS will allow, towards liquidating the indebtedness of the county. The levy will bring into the General Fund nearly s59,000, taking the cal culation of the Independent to be true, which will cover expenses of county government, and leave sur plus against existing indebtedness. A decrease of the county's debt will necessarily increase the value of county warrants, thereby adding to their purchasable value and SO less ening expenses. We believe the tax levy, in the fact that it has made the burden as light as possible upon pre- sent property :holders, is just and equitable. If the people will elect competent men, to constitute the next Board of Supervisors, the early future financial condition of Cochise county will allow minimum tax levy.
