 Suggestions.

EDITOR EPITAPH Il notice e(
 your issue of the 25th that "candi- dates for office are as numerous as grasshoppers in Kansas" and as so many are entering the field for the shrievalty, I, as an old time Demo- crat, wish to increase the list of can dldates by proposing the names of Mir. l.. w. Carr, Benson's mill man, and brother to ex-Mayor Carr, of Tucson, and MT. Mckenzie, the Cat tie King of the san Pedro river. For integrity, bravery and business ca pacity, these gentlemen are as well fitted for that office as any in the the county. Both these gentlemen have an unsullied reputation, not only among their neighbors, but among all with whom they come Tn contact, and the best of it all is, they are staunch and true Dem. ocrats - men who were rocked in the cradle of Democracy, nurtuped from the breast,
 Of Democracy, and Will be happy, in dying Democrats. If party lines are to be drawn at the coming election, we want Democrats to run for office, and not men who are "on the fence," and in the hum- ble opinion of the Democrats of Benson, these men would be strong candidates for election to the office of Sheriff of Cochise county, and at the convention to be held shortly l would like to see the name of one of these gentlemen proposed. Benson has pretty good Democratic vote, and we propose to do our level best to help elect the whole ticket. At least such is the determination of yours truly, OLD 0. w. CEAsBY, the Democratic war horse from Texas.

TERRITORIAL TOPICS.

Northern Arizona newspapers still contain thelr usual amount of inter. esting intelligence, about the condi- tion of the hay crop, the arrival of distinguished" citizens from the ru. ral districts, and the prices of "gilt edged" butter.
 James M. podson, Prescott's City Msrsshhaarithas a-eut- of. himself with a sketch of his career published in the Arizona Democrat. He also an. nounces himself as candidate for Sheriff. Modesty is certainly not a weakness of Dodson's nature. There are only about a dozen candi- dates for Sheriff of Yavapai county already in the field.
 Yavapai takes the cake for the number of guests it sends to the Ter ritorial hotel at Yuma. No less than seven have been sentenced during the late term of Court. And yet we haven't heard of Presidential pro- clamation conforming lawlessness in that region!
 Virgil Earp writes letter to Mar shal Dodson of Prescott, dated Col ton, Cal, saying that he intends to return to Tombstone to live. Ex- tremely doubtful.
 The Phenix Gazette comes out as straight democratic sheet. It reads the handwriting on the wall and don't propose to get left next Fall.

TH% dispatch from Washington, published Tn the Ssn--FraRcfscc Chronicle, to the effect that serious trouble would ensue here if Mir. Brooks attempted to take possession of the postoffice to which he was appointed by the President and con firmed by the Senate, caps the oli- max of the many absurdities which have been spread abroad concerning the condition of affairs in this camp. There is scarcely ripple of excite ment in this community on account of the change in Postmasters. When the time comes, Mir. Clum will turu over the office to his successor, and there IS not the least likelihood that any gore will be shed over so trivial an affair. The probabilities for an "insurreetion" in Cochise are as vague as ever. People here have matters of more moment to attend to, and we hasten to assure Presi-. dent Arthur that there is no need of another "proclamation."

TIE indictment resting agalnst John H. Behan for misdemeanor was called up Tn the District Court yester- day. Judge Southard, of counsel for the defense, demanded an immediate trial, stating that the indictment had resulted from testimony 'conceived in malice, born of hatred and deliver. ed in blackmail." The Court denled the motion for an immediate trial, and adjourned the case over the term. This refusal on the part of Judge Stilwell to give to an Ameri- can citizen his rights under the Con stitution of the United States, merits only condemnation. It is not the province of the EPITAPH to attack the deliberations of grand jury, unless rank prejudice is proven, but every citizen is entitled to fair, speedy and impartial trlal, and every just man can only conclude that this ar bitrary treatment of citizen Behan is neither in accordance with law nor the spirit of republican institutions. Further, persecution only breeds sympathy, and sympathy begets popularity.

Tritle, Tucson, two hundred and fiji. ty dollars; Clark Churchill, Prescott, one hundred dollars, and use as your good judgment dictates. If ad- ditionsl assistance is required, inform us. Citizens will respond literally.
 F. A. TRIrLE. CLARK CHURCHILL.

 TOMBSTONE, May 29, 1SS2.-Gov. Tritle, Prescott, Sir: I received your telegram of the 18th, rendering the unfortunate citizens of Tombstone, who were burnt in the disastrous fire of 25 inst, S250,00. and that of Clark Churchill, $100,00. Sir, as mayor of the city, allow me to return to you the grateful thanks of the citizens of Tombstone, and myself, for your more than generous offer, and to the good people of Prescott, for willing ness shswn to ald us in our great trouble. In consultation with the Chief of Police, I have not heard of any cases where the people are suf- fering for the necessaries of life, by reason of the late fire. Our people have shown that invinoible will and determination that conquers all ob- stacles, in this, as well as in the fire of June last. But few months will elapse before our city will arise from her ashes more substantial and l hope more freproof than before the fire. Again thanking you and your fellow citizens of Arizona, for their kind offer to our people in their deep distress. l remain.
 Yours respectfully,
 JOHN CARR, Mayor.

 PRESCOTT, May 2S.-The citizens of Prescott greatly sympathize with the citizens of Tombstone in their fearful losses. If $200 will be of service to any of the distressed. call on me for same. JNo. J. GosPER.
