such things as pepper boxes, sad dlers' thread, awls, etc., etc., all in- valuable articles to hostile Indians, and coveted by the scouts with me very much.
 Outside the house I saw fine wagon bed, inside of which was files, saddles and other articles, and noth. ing was destroyed, and but little could have been carried away.
 The murder 1 am convinced was never committed by Indians. So many parties had been there ahead of me, and the body had been taken away, so it was out of the question to find any trails .which the Indians could follow. l saw enough, how ever, to convince me beyond ques- tion, that the murder had not been committed by Indians. May 1st, I returned to this post, and on the morning of the 2d, received from First Lieutenant J. H. Hurst, 18th infantry, at Tombstone, lnforma- ton that Dr. Barney, of Contention, had been fired at by eight Indians below Contention; had returned the fire, and it was believed, had killed one of the Indians, as one was seen to fall from his horse. The Indians were further supposed to be raiding up the Barbacomori valley, spreading desolation as they went. Within an hour I was out again with twelve en- listed men of Company K, 18th in fantry, and three Indian scouts. Nothing was found on the Barbaco- morl, and the settlers all quiet.
 At Contention saw Dr. Barney, who had seen Indians the night be- fore about four miles below Conten- ton, on the Benson road, and fired a small pistol at them. The doctor was rather annoyed at being the cause of such a sensational story, y,and thought himself that he had likely been frightened by some peaceful Papagoes. On proceeding to the scene I found this to be the case, and heard from several persons of a party of five Papagoes en route to Tombstone. l may say here that l do not believe there has been a hos tile Indian on this side of the Chiri- cahua mountains.
 returned little after midnight of the 2d, having marched about forty five miles. 1 shall do what l can to stop sensational stories. My. marches were not entirely fruitless, as 1 was able to assure settlers of their safety and allay their fears.
 Very respectfully your obedieDt servant, w. E. DovE,

THE President has pardoned Gen. eral Fitz John Porter and, in doing so, has announced to the world the innocence of a man who had, for nearly twenty years, carried in hls soul the burning iron of worlds scorn. This mans history is most pitiable, and its perusal moves one's heart strongly in, angry sorrow. For almost quarter of century, hir- self knowing the purity of his honor,
 he walked among his fellow men bearing the brand of disgrace and with his head bowed in undeserved shame. None can realize and no words express what must have been his agony through all this time,

THE assassination of Lord Fred erick Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke, Tn Dublin, Ireland, was most fendish and provokes cry of horror from the civilized world. It is much to the credit of the Irish people that the deed is universally denounced by the press of Dublin and of all Ire. land as a most cowardly murder. The Land League and its branches, both there and Tn America, have passed resolutions condemning the act of the assassins, and deploring its probable effect on the Irish cause. It is to be hoped the murderers may be brought to justice.

THE MEETING.

A meeting of the citizens of Tomb stone will be held on Wednesday to discuss the late proclamation of the President, and it is to be hoped that there will be a general attendance. The matter is of the utmost import ance, it being a grave necessity that the evil effects of the proclamation be checked at once. Every business man in the town should lend his sountenance to movement intended so obviously as protective of their welfare. Resolutions should be passed denouncing the proclamation and the instigators thereof, and respectfully assuring the President that the power of the United States is not necessary to subdue any insurrection in Cochise county for the reason that none ex- ists. The people of Charleston, Con. tention, Bisbee, Benson and other points should also take this matter up so that the expression of this county, in the premises, may be vigorous and general. There should be a universal awakening to the seriousness of the occasion, and a determined effort to obtain justice and redress. The Territory at large should take hand in cleaning its reputation from the foul aspersions so unexpectedly cast upon it, for the value of every char acter of property has been clouded. We are informed that meeting is to be held in Tucson, and the people of that city will undoubtedly do justice to the emergency.
 When the causes which led to this proclamation are considered one can- not help having feeling of contempt for the weakness of the Governor in allowing himself to be led astray by few silk-stocking. individuals who represent nothing but them- selves. Holding dark.lantern seance in Tombstone with select committee of the devil knows who, the $150,0o0 scheme was concocted wherein there would have been a rare chance for the application of the rule of addition, division and silence. At this seanee the insurrection scare crow was erected to be knocked down by this S150,000 club, and the duty allotted to the Governor was to officially write it up into national i'm. portance. He performed his part of the contract exceedingly we'll but the result was unforeseen. The scare- crow has given the Governor black eye and bids fair to kick him out of the Territory. All these things will be thoroughly ventilated at the meet. ing Let everybody attend.
