THE LAW OF WATER RIGHTS.

Colonel Voolfolk, ol the Helena hdepeu
dent, gives Us the following ON this inpnr
tant subject. Having Mad considerable ex
perence, the Colonel's opinion can be relied
on. He says:
! As there seems to be much uncertainty
existing, particularly among newcomers,
as to water rights, which is liable 10 result
in useless trouble and li,galion. we will
mention of the principles governing the
question, tor the Information of parties i'll
terested.
First, as to appropriations of water. The
nSua! method OF appropriation is by means
OF bitches or fumes. livering the stream,
Or portion OF il. from its natural channel,
The rights resulting from such apprnpria-
tion will date back TO the beginning ot The
work. For instance, ls between conflicting
rights, where the qu,>ti nf priority is AZ
issue. it may he that OF two .itvhe> one was
first completed. and yet be subsequent and
subordinate TO the other, tor The simple r+a-
son that work was begun first on the ditch
completed last. .+~
Surveys and stalking line of ditch. blaz-
ing trees. etc. where followed in Il rpaso,,-
able time by actual work will be evidence
OF appropriation. In such Gaze the appro-
prialion will relate back TO the beginning of
the survey or other work first manilcstiny
the intentions to appropriate.
Many wafer troubles originate in the fol-
lowing way: \ m4n or his grantars DIG u
ditch capable OF carrying. tor Instance. $50
inches of water. To this extent he has the
oldst right on the stream But tour or five
years atterwArd he finds that he needs more
water, and so he goes to work to enlarge his
Now, TO the extent of his original $50 inches
he has an nndoubted right, but other sub>e-
qnent locators who appropriated i,efnre. the
ditch was enlarged. have prior right 10 all
water above $50 inches.
1t is true Il n,an may manifest his inten-
tion to appropriate, say 300 inches of water.
and yet at first his ditch may only carry $50
inches. owing TO obstacles which Interfere
wi tile flow of the wafer. Ii the general
or average capacity Of the ditch. however,
is 300 inches. and these obstacles are remuy-
Ell within a reasonable time. the extent of
his appropriation will be e.lnlitrd and roy-
erned ny the average or general capacity ot
the ditch, anu he will he allowed to retain
the 800 inches OF water il such was it's gen
eral capacity at the tine al constructions In
all cases where the law requires work to be
done or certain improvements made in ii
reasonable time, the question - 10 what is
such reasonable time will be one for the jury
TO determine.

Democracy alone lie our safety as Tree

pro ection OF the government should bear its
equal share of tsxes for such protection. He
favors no privileged classes, but that all
shall be equal before the law. He favors
reduction OF the burdens OF the people,
sound tariff for revenue, with incidental
protection, but not at the expense OF the
poorer classes. He is opposed to all kinds
of forced assessments intended for the cor

All the candidates for governor are now in

Low-tax Democrats to abandon their silly
talk about psyirg only the State debt proper
and 10 meet the State credit Democrats on
more than halfway ground. State con-
vention was called by both wings of the
party. This convention met on the Goth OF
June. 1t was composed of the best men OF
the Democratic party not only leaders,
but of the horny-handed yeomanry. Dis
cussing the material that composed the
convention, men who had attended similar
occasions for thirty years frequently re-
marked that they had never seen

the laboring masses. The Committee on
Revolutions did not agree on a platform

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Immediately al er the adjournment of 8
nominating convention, the disappointed
seek revenge by representing the ticket as
weak and doomed TO defeat. This stale de-
vice has been resorted TO since the nomina-
lions were made by the recent county conven-
ton. But the disgruntled are feeble in num-
berp, and they will soon acquiesce in the sup
port of ticket which it is impossible to de-
feat. The war made upon Burke in the Jan
usry election only intensified the zeal OF his
friend-, and the ceaseless and unjust war
made upon the county ticket will subserve
the same purpose and produce similar re-
suit. Conventions become mockery and a
farce when men submit to their actions pro-
yided every thing IS done to suit them. The
recent county convention nominated good
ticket, composed of men Of integrity, and II
should command the hearty support of ev-
cry true Democrat. Commenting on The
ticket, the Reporter, newspaper published
at Henderson,, Ky., Gays:

The gentlemen named are worthy OF the
praise bestowed upon them by our coteD

it will be difficult to discover any flaws, and
it will win in the election on the Sd OF Au-
gust. 1t cannot be defeated. The factious

INDIAN OUTBREAK.
White MOuntafn Apaches ON the War.
Path-The Situation Very
Serious.

PHGNIx, ARIz, July 13.-The following
has just been received from Globe: "Lsst
Saturday evening eleven men, under Captain
Lacy, left Globe to intercept hestiles, who
are now out to prevent them from depre-
dating in the valley. Last Monday the
party was surrounded by seventy-iye indiana
at Middleton rasche, Pleasant valley. All
their animals were driven off. No one was
hurt, but the party are working their way
back on foot. A representative of the
Tucson Star, now here, interviewed Alonzo
Bailey, merchant of Globe, who has just
arrived. He states that there are not less
than $50 hostiles out on the war-path, and
they have their women and children with
them. The hostiles belong to the White
Mountain Indians, and Mr.. Bailey, who has
had large experience among them, says
they have gone out to stay. An outbreak
has been expected for the last ak weeks,
and confirms the threat made TO Colonel
Broocket some time ago BY the chief of the
White Mountains that unless they were al
lowed to go and live in Pleasant valley they
would leave the reservation. The first kill
ing in the outbreak was on the 9th, and mat
tiers appear very serious"

Sfar.Roufe Cases,

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-In the Star.route
trial the prosecution called Contractor Albert
E. Boone, of Washington, to the stand TO give
general testimony. Boone testified that he
knew all the defendants in the case and had
engaged in business relations with some OF
them. La November, 1877, he had met
Stephen w. Dorsey in the postoffice depart
ment and had a conversation with him. This
conversation was ruled out by the Court on
objection. Boone was then requested TO state
what he had done as the result OF that con-
versation. Objection was again made and
argument ensued.
At its close the Court rendered decision
as follows: "In regard to what had been said
relative to Ex-senator Dorsey, he did not
think there was anything in that which re-
quired the attention of the Court. III he had
done anything which he should not have
done as a member of the Senate, there was a
statute which covered that act. Here he
was indicted as a member of a conspiracy.
In regard to the claim of the defense, that
the evidence must not go behind May %,
1877, it was true the Indictment fixed that
date and overt acts that followed. The po-
sition taken by the defense, that no evidence
as TO the facts Transporting anterior to that
date could be received, was erroneous. 1t
was none The less conspiracy since that date.
If it was conspiracy before, il may have ex-
isted for dozen years, and although
the indictment could not charge that it took
place more than three years ago, yet the
parties who enter into or carry out an exist
ing conspiracy may properly be brought into
Indictment. Innocent combinations might
gradually change their character and become
vicious conspiracies. The Court thought it
was proper TO prove that these parties were
in the combination anterior to the conspir-
acy. On the other hand it was not compe-
tent to prove the existence of conspiracy by
the evidence of any conspirator previous to
the existence of the conspiracy as fixed in
the indictment, or after its dissolution"
Mr.. Merrick stated that he expected to
prove that d. w. Dorsey had entered into
an arrangement with Boone to procure these
contracts and divide the profits.
After some further argument the witness
was directed to proceed, and testified at
great length as to the fraudulent manner of
"fxing up" bonds, sending out circulars, etc.,
aud the general way in which routes were
expedited, and other matters Of like nature,
connected with the Dorsey ring, the details
of which have been heretofore Published.
james II. CIendenin and James F. Blooms
were also examined, but before the e1amins-
ton of the latter was concluded the court

THE French people are greatly mortified
over the attitude of their government as to
the Egyptian war, and the leading journal
write in a strain of mingled jealousy and ap-
probation upon the promptness with which
England has moved. The Temps attributes
this elastic capacity of England's military
system to "the wise dispositions taken long
ago by Mr.. Childers, the secretary for

minister who undertook certain army reforms
under great difficulties and in face of much
opposition. "Tnanks TO his wise measures"
