OUR dispatches to-day give the ami mus of General Carr's arrest. Like the failure of the late Indian campaign it reflects little credit upon the imbecile whc figures as Department Commander in this Territory. We are glad to know that the infany of the conspiracy-for il IS nothing more nor less than conspir- Acy of certain Department Commanders sycophants that has accustomed this ar rest of a gallant soldier upon trumped-
 charges-is being aired outside of
 1ulTerritory. The studied insults and - flts which the Department Con-
 offer has been able to put upon this
 I've officer by virtue of a breyet, ob-
 fred through political influence rather than merit, will now come to light. In actual rank Gen. Carr, being a Colonel of cavalry, Is the superior Of Gen. Will COX. and military experience and ability ne Is infinitely his superior, and vet he .as been isolated at Fort Apache to graiify petty animosity. We rather thii k the Department Commander has pat hls foot in it.

Almost q Tragedy.


 A difficulty occurred yesterday after noon in front of the Occidental Saloon, Allen street, between John Ringo and Doc Holiday, that very nearly termi- mated in blOoGsLed. The parties had been on bad terms for some time past, and meeting yesterday morning words were exchanged and both parties stepped back, placing their hands on their weap- ons with the intention of drawing and using them. Fortunately Chief of Police Flynn was at hand and placed both par. ties under arrest. They were taken to Judge Wsllace's court and fined S32 each for carrying deadly weapons. Some little feeling was evinced by the occur. renee, which for unately died out before anything serious occurred. The streets were crowded at the time, and had the shooting commenced 1t is probable that more than one life would have paid the penalty and another serious tragedy been enacted m our streets.

 Mir. Henry Weaver, of the Southern Pacific hotel, went to Los Angeles this week, and we regret to learn that his in- fant child has been taken seriously i'll.
 It is reported that Hon. A. c. Baker and J. Alexander, of Phenix, intend pur- chasing the Herald of that place. That section of the country needs good Dem ocratic paper.

The sufferer feels grate- ful, as instead of trip to San Francisco he IS out only tsf expense attending the purchase of bAr.S soap.
 From Mir. L. J. F. Iager, who has just returned from his Buena Vista Mine, above the Pot holes, We hear very en- cOurasing news of that district. The Buena Vista looks extremely well, and d | rich strike has been made in the Govern. or Purdy mine. On the latter the owners are arrastring the rock with good returns | in gold, and at the same time going ahead with the work of developing. Al last accounts the ledge had widened tC eight feet, and the gold-bearing quartz was changing into an ore carrying con siderable silver and quite percentage of lead. As the crOppings contained nc indications of either silver or lead, this change Is unexpected although mucl lead float has been found through tht surrounding country. We cOngratulat, Messrs. Werringer, Amabisca and Con treras on their good fortune.

THE Epitaph says: We learn that the Tombstone Mill and Mining Com pany have received a patent for the GOodenOugh claim. Those who attend ed the late trial of that company against the Way Up will remember the strenu- ous efforts of the defense to defeat the title of the company to that mine. Sim liar efforts were made in Washington to prevent the issue of a patent, no less than five hearings being had before the Commissioner of Patents and one before the Secretary Of the Interior. The points involved are of interest to every mine owner in Tombstone, for in this case, as in some other recent eases, the peculiar circumstances of outcrop in this district were used against the application, and the failure of these attempts IS an assur- ance to other bona fide owners that this district is not without the pale of the law, as some interested parties would like to have the authorities believe"

IF Hon. John J. Gosper does not re- cieve the appointment as governor Of this Territory be can have the satisfac- ton of knowing that he had strong home backing, both with the people and the press. The people are almost unaEl- nous for him. The Yuma Sentinel gives him the following endorsement:
 Gov. J. J. Gosper made brief visit to Yuma on Saturday last. His mission was of a purely business nature; but, nevertheless, during his two days stay, irrespective of party, everybody pald their respects to Governor Gosper. Many who had aever met Mir. Gosper before, were pleased to find him an ill., telligent and entertaining gentleman. This was hls first visit to Yuma, ana it seems that he has captured the good wishes and affections of both men and women land especially the latter). We were about the first to advance the name of Gosper for Governor. We do so still, and feel yet a sufficient conf dence in his nomination and contirma- tion

What is this? It is an assessment mo- tice What is an assessment? It is a tax of Sl per share which the stOckhold- CTS pay so that the officers of the com pany go to Europe and give balls in Paris and have their pictures painted by Meissonier. Assessments are scarce, are they not? Not too scarce. Do stock holders like assessments? Yes, very much; a stockholder likes to pay two assessments day; he would rather pay an assessment than win the capital prize in the Louisiana lottery; that Is what the stockholder is for.

A RAILROAD CENTER.

The CITIZEN has frequently called the attention of it's readers to the importance of making this city the objective point of as many railroad projects as possible.
 The way to most successfully accom- plish this object is for our citizens and business men generally to take hold of and demonstrate the feasibility of vari- ous lines which offer promises of suffi- cient business to warrant the investment of the necessary capital to construct them
 This will require preliminary survey, a thorough examination and writing up of the country along the line showing the resources from which road will de- rive its support, and obtaining the ne cessary rights and franchises for its con- struction. All this will require some outlav of time and money, but nothing cornpared with the benefits to be derived from the construction of lines of road csntering here.
 Our people are now alive to the possi- bilities of Tucson as a railroad center and are taking hold of several projects with A will which ensures their success.
 The two lines now in contemplation, the one to the Gulf of California via sev- eral rich mining districts and, the other running north to the Atlantic and Pa cific via the Santa Catarina mines and the coal fields, offer rare inducements to the capital necessary for their construc- tion. These projects are being carefully matured and placed before railroad men and there is but little doubt of theiI success.
 With their construction Tucson VII feel an impetus given to its trade such al it has never experienced before. TheI we can look for rapid influx of popula ton aed our city will enlarge its borden to metropolitan proportions
 The CITIZEN has an abiding faith m th' future of Tucson and the Territory O Arizona, and we have demonstrated ou faith in a substantial manner. Th' present activity of our leading business men and capitalists gives us great en couragement for the early realization O our hopes for Tucson.

Very Respectfully,
 $. F. PHILLIPS,

A CORRESPONDENT of the London Times emphatically declares that far more serious commercial danger than the ill-will between Jew and Christian threatens Russia from this side of tbe Atlantic. He says: The American is underselling the Russian as a corn grower and dealer. Both for the pro- duction and conveyance of cereals the Yankee finds that machinery can do the work of hundreds or thousands of men.
 After several seasons of a scarcity bordering on famine, there has been in southern Russia this year a fair harvest, though by no means as good as people in their eagerness anticipated. There Is plenty of grain for embarkation from the Russian harbOrs to the English markets But will it be able to stand the competition of American produce? As well might a sailing yes sel be expected to outstrip a steamer. Modern ingenuity and the spirit of as- sOciation have given the Cincinnati and Chicago smart men a start which has made them victorious upon the earnest and patient, but plodding John Hodges of England. What will they not do to the detriment of Russia, country not eminent as yet for ingenuity, thrift, or laborious energy?" The writer adds that the Russians hope this competi- ten is ephemeral and cherish the belief that in this country the population will soon grow up to the territory, raising the price of land, increasing home con sumption and otherwise establishing more equal conditions. The Times correspondent asks What will become of the steed while the grass grows?" and evidently thinks that such hopes are fallaciOus.

 Your Queen Rides slow, her soldlery all between. And check me unaware
