No SYMPATHY FROM REPUBLICANS
The leading Republican paper of thu
United States, the New York Times
says editorially:-
"The Republican party's message tt
President Arthur reads something like
this Mind your own busin ess, which
is not that Of interfering in the loca
politics of your own or any Other
State.'"
True, every word of it. Let Boss
Malone and his servants take courage
by it if.-they can. Malone gets nc
sympathy from the source where he ex.
pected to find it. Bossism became un
popular even with the Republicans, and
Virginia stands out as the exception in
the defeat of Boss-rule. But Bossism
In Virginia, without aid and sympathy
from Bosses elsewhere, cannot live, and
the petty tyrant will soon collapse.
MASSEY AND O'FERRALL ELECTED.
If the charges of fraudulent votes
throughout the State and in the Seventh
District can be sustained, we have no
doubt of the election of Massey and
C'Ferrail. Such charges are made from
every district in the State, and from
nearly every county in the Seventh
District. Let right rule, and if those
fraudulent votes can be found, then we
claim that Congress should mete out the
measure of right and depose such men
as Paul and John S. Wise, when nomi-
nal majorities are due to corrupt influo
ences.
The Arthur wing of the Republican
party has received its quietus, and the
stroke of grace was given 1t by Ma
honeism. White Americans are free
men, and the majority Of them are hon.
est, and the support President Arthur
and his party gave to the upstart tyrant
Malone and his reputation schemes in
Virginia. not only disguised them, but
evoked their wrath, and they manifest-
ed it last Tuesday in way that will be
warning to all possible future Presi-
Dental bosses.

FLORENCE, A. T., Nov 15, 1882. Editor Enterprise:
 Our quiet little town is about to lose & number of our most estimable citizens, namely: our lawyers. A letter has been received, by certain limb of the law, from one Rat-tone, now of Albuquerque, in which he states he has received re- tainer of $2500 in one case. It is no wonder that our lawyers are excited. Our town and citizens are terribly chop-fallen on account of the departure of the only class who make things lively, and they will not wait until next Summer The miners of the county are now about to throw up their Drills and abandon the county. Old Reymert has gone back to his hole, and our town still, possibly may survive. SUBSCRIBER.

pose of his visit. He talked freely about everything except tho object of his visit and on that subject he was silent as a sphinx. He examined several properties at Mineral Hill and explored the lower workings of the Silver King. In answer to direct question he said the Blk would strike the King vein but must go to good depth to do so, possibly twelve or thirteen hundred feet. The Professor went from here to Phoenix and will make a tour through the mining districts of Northern Arizona. He has great faith in the mineral veins of Pinal county.
 We noticed last week number of sub stantial improvements i'll progress along the upper Gila an San Pedro val lies, this county The Putnam brothers at Riverside, Mr. Geo. Finch, MT. John T. Bates, Mir Fred Geitz and Mr. Frank Shields are all building neat, new resi- dences. In fact, one sees evidences of prosperity on every hand in passing through that section There are at least 20, GOO head of cattle distributed along the ranges between Riverside and the point at which the county line crosses the San Pedro, and the herds are rapidly and constantly increasing The time will come when that will bs the greatest cattle growing section of Arizona. The lower portion of that district Is also rich in min eral and mining is destined to become an important factor in its future prosperity, A number of claims have been developed to considerable extent and show unmistakable proofs of merit. Some of them are in fair way to pass into the hands of companies with sufficient means to place them on a bullion producing basis. Taken all in all, the San Pedro district is very inviting to home seekers.

On Fourth Of July evening, about 10
o'clock, Johnny Horn was arrested in the
Palace Saloon in which, in q row, he
drew the six-shooter which, il report be
true, he wears as continuously as he
does his breeches, and he was being
taken to Jail by Officer Ashley and Special
Poiiceman Sampson. On the way, when
passing the Parker House, he called out
TO some friends to come and help him.
a moment afterwards the officers were
attacked. Ashley stood out against the

VINO struggled to escape. In the rough and
tumble fight that ensued Sampson re-
eeiVed in the head a blow from what he
thought was a six-shooter, and was knocked
DOWN. Getting up as quickly as he could,
he saw his prisoner running away up the
street and he fired, not at him, he says,
out only to scare him. We have not heard
anybody blame the officer. If he did not

A Painful Operation,

J. johnson, a miner at the Silver Lick
mine, was taken very ill Monday night.
The Superintendent, thinking he was
about to die, hurried down to town and
called out DR.. Williams. Upon examina-
ton it was found that johnson was suffer-
ing from strangulated hernia, the knowl-
edge Of which, out Of false delicacy, had
been concealed as long as possible. Efforts
to reduce the hernia were made at once,
but there being no oonveniences for the
operation at the mine, the doctor ordered
his patient brought to town. Late in the
night superintendent Shander and DR..
Williams drove down from the Silver Lick,
fortunately without accident, supporting
the sick man between them. A consulta-
ton was held by the attending physician
with Drs. Bishop and Hagar, at which it
was decided to make an ~incision into the
patients side and replace the entrails.
