De LONG AND HIS PARTY.

The long but interesting account of the
search for De Long and his party which we
published yesterday morning leaves no
ground for hope that the gallant pIorer will
be found alive. When the news came that
the Jeanette had been crushed
in the ice, and that her crew had
succeeded in reaching land, it was
generally supposed that their suffer
ings and dangers were at an. end, and that
they would be able to regain civilization
with no more trouble than tedious Jour
ney. But the facts now revealed show that
She landing on the banks of the Lena was
terribly long way from relief, and that
the weather beaten and cold nipped crew
of the Jeanette had even greater perils to
encounter than they had previously passed
through. They were almost without pro.
visions, they were weak and suffering, and
they had no knowledge of the country
The discoveries thus far made OF De Longs
land route seem to justify the belief that
he and all his party save the two men who
were saved by being sent on ahead, must
have persisted as far back az last November
He is last heard from in October, and
then his situation was desperate
Engineer Melville has evidently
abandoned all expectation of see-
ing his comrades again alive, and his
conviction that they will be found in one
of the most sterile and inhospitable parts
OF that bleal; and barren coast confirms all
previous apprehensions. DE Long at last
accounts was proceeding slowly and with
difficulty. He had then only two day s
provisions, but he had succeeded in finding
game. Directly after his last note, how
ever, he must have plunged into that game
less country where his advanced guard
wandered for six days without finding any
thing to eat, and as he had fourteen men
with him, it is plain that this priva!ion
could not have been endured long. Cold
and hunger aud disease blindness from
the snow, exhaustion from the weight of
weapons and other things, all must have
contributed to hasten the collapse of the
doomed party. Since then silence has
fallen upon their record, nor is it likely
that any further news of them will be re-
ceived until Melville or the natives who are
nov securing the country under the instruc-
tions of the Russian Government, come
upon their remains. stretched out upon the
frozen plains.

A PRACTICAL BEGINNING.

The meeting Of property and
taxpayers which was held yesterday after
noon, and of the proceedings of which a
report Will be found in our local columns,
went to work in business like way, and
organized, appointinga committee to make
detailed inquiries into the actual condition
of the city finances. As was pointed out
in our last issue, this is the only rational
way to prepare for action, and it is the
most certain way to put a stop to the mis-.
chievous and dishonest propositions which
are being continually advanced by those
advocates of reputation who are too
stupid to comprehend the utter impractical
bility of their schemes. The committee
will of course at once discover that the
arrangement by which the city government
for several years prevented the collection
of sufficient moneys to pay the interest on
the debt, was not only without color
of law, but go clearly illegal that
the bondholders could at any time
compel a return to the provisions
which were then evaded and nuli6ed.
They will discover that the notable plan
for "cutting off the supplies from the
creditors OF the city, will not hold water
for moment. That, in fact, nothing but
an agreement to resume the payment of
the interest, a year ago, restrained the
bondholders from proceedings which must
have resulted in the compulsory levying
of heavy taxes for that purpose; that any
attempt to return to the shifts and lodges
previously resorted to must precipitate
such action; and that the city has no
effective defense against mandatory pro-
ceedings of the kind. They will find also
that no reliance is TO be placed in the sup
posed inability of the creditors to re.
cover by execution that all the property
of the city is liable for the debt, and that
no judicial decision bars the way to iudg-
ment. They will in short ascertain beyond
doubt that the city is not in position to
make any other kind of fight than a
losing and q ruinous fight in this
connection; and that it certainly would
not be permitted to divert all the
taxes from the uses to which the law has
apportioned them. What conclusions the
committee and the new Protective Aeso-
citation may reach upon the facts it is about
to search out of course cannot be known
bat We have full confidence that a CON-
plete apprehension of these facts will show
the necessity of making adequate pro.
vision for the liquidation of the debt on
upright and business principles, and that
it will also show the equal folly and dis.
honesty of the shifty suggestions which
have been made with view to compass
evasion of the debt. If the Taxpayers
Protective Association proceeds intelli-
gently it will be able, we trust, to strike
out clear and advantageous financial pro-
gramme. 1t is certainly time this was
done, for the situation has become danger.
GUS by reason of the persistence and au-
dacity of the advocates of Reputation.

WHAT RosEcRANs SAID.

There is dispute as to whether General
Rosecrans, while presiding over a Demo-
cratic meeting in San Francisco last year,
permitted General Walsh to abuse Garfield
in very foul way, without offering any
remonstrance. The evidence for the af.
frmative consists in certain newspaper re.
ports which, not pretending to give the
ipsissima rer6a OF General Walsh's speech,
described him as having denounced Gar
field as a thief and villain. The evidence
for the negative consists of the statements
OF General Walsh, who denies having ut.
tered any such language as was ascribed to
him, and OF General Rosecrans, who denies
that any such language was used in his
hearing on the occasion referred TO- When
it is remembered that this Democratic
meeting occurred during heated Presi.
dental campaign, and also that the Demo.
cratic speakers were accustomed to de.
nounoe Garfield quite virulently, It must

TantaIizIng the Liver.

that some people use them for simple bilious

EMIGRANT GAP, March 21st.-The Emf
grant Gap pillow No. 8, with six engines, ar
rived last night after successfully battling
with the blockade between Summit and
Truckee, releasing plow No 2, with ten en-
gines, they having been buried for forty
hours. Conductor Henry Woadin and his
brave band of engineers and brakemen de.
serve great credit fer their untiring efforts in
raising the blockade east of here. In going

three feet was thrown into the cabs Of the
engines.
The business me,. of this town deny the

The Tombstone Vendetta.

Tucson, March 21st.--A Star special from
Tombstone, just received, says that the carp
party arrived in Tombstone at P NJ, went
TO the Cosmopolitan Hotel. stayed there until
this evening, until Sheriff Behan went to
arrest them. when they drew their guns on
him and walked out of town, mounted their
horses and left for the hills. The feeling
here in regard to the assassination of Still
well is growing more iatense hourly. The
deceased was here in response to sub
pena from the Court 1t is now
very generally believed that the bandits
came down from Tombstone for the pur-
pose of killing Ike Clanton, who has
been here for two weeks. To-day, after
hearing before the Coroner's jury, war
rant was placed in the hands of Sheriff Paul
for the arrest of the carp party-Hollidsy,
McMasters ard others of the implicated
parties. Learning that they had returned to
and arrived at Tombstone this afternoon,
Paul telegraphed Sheriff Behan, of Cochise
county, at Tombstone. to arrest the parties.
Tonight Sheriff Bshan telegraphed Paul that
he had tried to make the arrest and was
forcibly resisted by the party and posse Of
their friends. ana asked for assistance, and
that the carp party had fed to the hills
Sheriff Paul left tonight on special fer
Tombstone, to make the arrests. There is 10
doubt but that he will take them, but blood.
shed is expected.

His watch was taken. in the hurry of
which part OF the chain was left
There is much excitemens here concerning
the assassination, and many speculations ara
life. Some say that he was decoyej 10 the
spot where he fell. He possessed strong evi.
dence against certain stage robbers. Others
think he wss trying 70 get away frem the
Esrp party, and Yves overtaken, while it is
thought by some thst he went down the
track to shoot one or mere of the carp party
as the train was moving cut, two Of them being
on board. The killing is thong ht to have been
done by four of the party who accompanied
the Earps here, as the four men who followed
deceased down the track were not seen again.
This morning at O'Clock. IS the east bound
freight approached Pspago four miles east of
here, it was tagged, and four srmed men got
on the train. They are strongly suspected.
The deceased was q years of age, native of
Texas, and was a brother Of the famous Texas
scout. Jack Stillweli. Hs has been in Ari-
iona four years, was a teamster at Signal for
some time, and lately has bsen keeping
livery stable at Charleston and Bisbee, and
was an ex-Deputy Sheriff of Cochise couoty.
Yesterday Ike Cianton received several dis
patches from Tombstone, warning him TO
look out that party was coming down to
put him cut of the wsy, which put him on
his guard. The autholi les here are de-
termined TO go to the bottom of this matter,
and if the parties are apprehended there will
be nosham examination. but trial of the case

they may be, will suffer the penalty of the

Peculiar Murder TrIa,-Enund Dead.

SANTA Cruz, March 2lst.-The case of The
People vs. Boyce was called for trial before
Judge Logan yesterday at 10 o'clock a. NJ.
The prosecution rested at noon to-day. The
evidence shows that on the 17th Of last Octe-
Der John Settles and r. 0. Boyce. between
whom there existed some i'll feeling, met on
Boyce's ranch in the mountains near Sara
soga. Some words passed, when Boyce re.
qIested to Settles to go eff his ranch. Settles
motioned as il TO take up mattock that was
near by. when Boyce, who had double-bar-
relied shotgun in his hand, cooked the gun.
and it was discharged, the charge of No.
shot lodging in Scites' legs, midway between
the knee and ankle. Boyce was arrested for
an assault, and released on bail fixed at 5000.
Scites' injury was not considered serious, but
on the l2lh of December he died of heart
disease. Boyce was rearrested and charged
with murder. a great deal of medical testi-
mony has been introduced, more or less CON
hicting but all agreeing that death was pro-
duced by valvuiar disease of the heart of long
standing, which may have been aggravated
by the wound inflicted. The defense has

speakers actually possessed. The denials

The issue is, were the 100 cases Of opium

latter. Letters have been intercepted that
throw light on the matter, and lead to the
