A TRAIN on the Gulf, Colorado d
Santa Fe Railroad was boarded by six rob-
bers, near Cleburne, Texas, the other night.
Ordering all hands up the thieves walked
through the coach, one OF them holding a
pillow-slip open and telling the passengers
to drop something ia for the missionary
fund, and they all contributed literally.
The conductor dropped in just after the coll
lection, but Immediately started back for
the express car. As the door closed behind
him one OF the robbers shot at him, but
missed. The train started up at this june
ture, and one of the men crying ''Jump
off, boys,' they rushed to the platform and
disappeared. The amount OF money they
got is variousy estimated, but the most re-
liable report says il was over 81 200. The
Sheriff Of johnson County, with large
posse and pack of bloodhounds, started in
pursuit.

LAND OFFICE ORDER.

A late telegram from Washington
 says that the Land Office officials are
 much exercised over the change in the
 deposit system made by the recent Con-
 gress, and are apprehsnslve that the
 system will be greatly impaired by the
 change. Some go so far as to assert
 that It will be valueless. Last year
 there was deposited under this system
 about Sl,S00000 of which SsO0,OO0 was
 paid out as expenses. It is not esti-
 mated that over SS000O0 will be re-
 ceived this fiscal year. Large decreases
 from the present deposits are looked for in Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado. New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Mon- tana, while an increase IS expected in Dakota only. In view of the change the Department has thought it neces- sary to issue new instructions to Regis ters and Receivers, as follows:
 The act of Congress approved August :, 1882, making approL riations for the sundry civil expenses of the gove nment for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1883. provides that no certificate issued for a deposit of money for the survey of lands under section 24O3 of the Revised Statutes. and the act approved March 8, lofU, amendatory thereof, shall be Ie- ceived in payment for lands, except at the land office in which the lands sur veyed and for which the deposit was made are subject to entry, and not else where; but this section shall not be held 1 to impair, prejudice or affect in any manner certificates issued on deposits | and contracts made under the provi- l slons of said act prior to the passage of ! this act The intention of Congress, expressed in this legislation, is to insure | the application of certificates of depos- | its issued in districts embracing town ships, the surveying of which IS paid for out of such deposits. You are accord ingly instructed that no certificates of deposit issued after August :, 1882, on account of surveys, will be received by you in payment for lands elsewhere than at the land office where the land is situ- ated, for the survey of which the de- pOsit was made. Certificates issued prior to August ', 1882, on account of deposits for surveys, are not affected by this act.

A POOR MEMORY.

The mail service in Apache county is perhaps the most inadequate in the Ter ritory. There IS really but one service Tn the county, and that by no means re- liable. We trust that Mir. Oury will give the matter his attention, and if possible secure increased facilities and new pos tai lines for that county Star.
 The Pioneer will support Mir. Oury for Congress, although this county to- day IS absolutely without a single mail line in operation-outside the A. & F. R. K. NIT. Oury promised Cfaithfully no doubt that Apache county should re- ceiye little consideration, and that We should have" mail service. What IS the present condition of affairs in thls county? No mail for St. Johns, Spring erville, Ft. Apache, Showlow, Taylor, Snowflake, Concho and Woodruff The people have sent petition after petition, and 1t IS a disgrace to the country that the county of Apache (ranking fourth m point of wealth and population), with county seat containing twelve hundred souls, IS, and has been for two months past, without any mail, if we except an occasional bag from Holbrook by mule or bull teams.-ISt. Johns, Apache Co. Pioneer.
 Mir. Oury does not seem to have re- membered his promises in the postal matters of Apache, or else the good and faithful seed he has planted in Washing ton requires an unusually long time to germinate.

THE Star reiterates its statement that our present Delegate in Congress has been neither inactive nor incompetent, yet the facts do not justify such con- cIusion. His activity consisted chiefly in mailing a few public documents to several Of his constituents, and his con- potency was shown by the perfunctory introduction Of several measures and then auchoring himself in his comforsa- ble seat to await the result. MT. Oury apologies for his shortcomings by as sorting that he was snubbed by the committees to whom his measures were referred, and that his political faith was the great obstacle in the way of his doing any good for the people of this Territory. If thls be so, and no one doubts that he was certainly handicapped by his political utilization, MT. Oury should, out Of re- gard for the interests of Arizona and its people, make a little self-sacrifice of his own personal ambition, and advocate the election of a Republican, who will not be hampered by such potent disabil- itles. The Star, however, has shown by comparison with the record of the Dem- ocratic Delegate from Montana, that Auzona's representative lacks the per sonal ability Co accomplish any good for our people. We are not quite so severe upon MT. Oury, for We believe that he
 has lt m ms power to accomplish won- ders for Arizona, by being relegated to the obscurIty of private life at his Florence home, at the coming election.

CAUSE OF WAsHoUTs

The month of August, in Arizona, is
 usually accompanied with a plentiful
 fall or rain, which seems to have in-
 creased since the railroads have spanned
 its sterile deserts. During the heavy
 showers that almost daily occur large
 volumes of water i'll the natural outlets
 of the watershed, and within a few min
 utes raging torrents sweep onward with
 destructive violence. The railroad com
 pauy has suffered greatly by the de-
 struction of its roadbed and culverts,
 and there seems to be no remedy for the trouble. The slight deposit of sand upon the surface covers a vast bed of cement rock, impervious to water, over which the floods rush wildly about seek ing an outlet for its restless current. An experience of but yesterday illus trates in a small degree the sudden dan gers that beset a traveller upon the desert. A gentleman riding to this city from Myers district en- deavorei to reach Coyote Springs on Tuesday evening, to camp, and was com pelled to travel some distance after nIgbtfall. He suddenly discerned huge movIng mass before him in the semi darkness, rushing along with an ominous noise. As no rain had fallen at that particular point for two days he thought 1t could not be a stream, and he, there fore, proceeded to investigate the mat ter, fortunate conclusion as it after wards proved, for he found crossing the | level road a seething stream of water, | fifty feet wide, which had cut perpendi- ,ular banks on either side several feet | deep. Camp was made for the night | near the stream, and the next morning | t had nearly subsided and was crossed | some distance aDove with little difficulty |
 The present washouts are quite for and miles of track are washed | iway at several points, involving ne- 'essIry for prompt and energetic repairs. All western trains are held at stations, and at present 1t is impossible to get pound of freight or any mail matter. With characteristic energy the South srn Pacific company will again have heir trains running on schedule time, lnless further rams intervene.

UNITED ACTION.


 The nomination of Judge DeFOrest
 Porter as candidate for Delegate in
 Congress by the Republican Conyen-
 tion. gives general satisfaction to the
 people Of the Territory. He is recog-
 nized as a gentleman of splendid ability
 and good judgment, and his election
 will insure proper national Legislation in behalf of ArIzona, such as the present Delegate has shown himself unable to obtain. MT. Porter, too, has long been a resident Of the Territory, and is iden- titied with its interests and progress.
 4 very insignificant element of the Republican party are not enthusiastic over the nomination, but this feeling IS inevitable with all nominations, and soon disappears as the canvass advances. 4 little reflection shows the folly of all such disaffection. When a man enters a political convention, he will respect and follow the majority fl he is man Of honor. While the minority have rights that should be recognized and respected, nothing but fraud which af- | fleets the result of the convention will | justify the minority in refusing to &C., cept the result as final and binding, and | it then becomes their duty to use | every honorable effort to secure the triumph Of the expressed will of the majority. Parties are not formed for the advancement of men, but for the advancement of principles, and it nat urally follows that the man should re- ceive the support of the whole party who best represents those principles. There is but one way that political par ties can adopt to ascertain who that man is, and that is to obtain tine opin- ion Of the representative men of the party. When this is ascertained, the nominee Is supposed to represent the advocated by the party. What ever his private associations and char acter may be, in his capacity as candi- date he Is, and from the nature of things must be, supposed to represent the prin- siples publicly advocated by the party, and is under a sacred obligation to represent them to the best of lis ability, and to so conduct himself as not to bring reprosch upon the party. 4 majority of the representative men having passed their opinion that be so -epresents the principles advocated by he party and will so conduct himself, .e is entitled to, and honor dictates l hat be should, receive the hearty, undi- lded support of every individual mem s Ter of the party. Such united and , arnest action will crown our party with |" Iccess, and place Arizona among the | sections of the nation, and 3 a position to derive the utmost bene- I +s rI,1a -
