 Get thee gone, ignoramus. "A MT. Dibble," indeed; why we have the only real, bona ide, ne plus ultra, genuine Dibble; the Dibble who doctored election returns in Louisiana, and led the niggers like a pack of sheep, and who performs the same service for the Cochisc county Republicans, without serious inter. ruption.

lN the Egyptian conflict Arabl Pasha has won first blood. In the first set skirmIsh between the troops the British fled precipituousIy, leav- ing the conquering Arabi in posses sion of the field. It is more than likely, from present appearances, that Gladstone undertook a tough contract when he promised to subdue Arabi. The rebel chief has hoisted the "sacred flag" and the hordes of Islem are Hooking to his standard from Syria, Arabia, Egypt and AL giers. There is no scarcity of men or munitions of war and England is in fairer way of receiving sound drubbing than at any' period within the memory of the present genera tiOn.

THE Foreipp Affairs Committee O

THE Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives have exonerated Mir. Blaine from all blame in the Chilli-Peru complications. This is nothing more thsn was ex- pected and demanded by the people. Whatever sins of commission or omis- sion can be laid at MT. Blaine's door there is no denying that his foreign policy while Secretary of State was the most spirited and patri- otic, since Marcy retired from the state department. If the stalwart bullet had not sought the life of Garfield, Blaine as his foreign minis ter would have enacted a policy that would make us respected abroad, and left us heritage in the shape of precedents for the guidance of future administrations.

THE trlal of the Star Route con. spirators is gradually but surely as- suming the appearance of a huge national farce. The government is half-hearted in the prosecution, the jury were impaneled to acquit, and the judge long ago exhibited inde. cent partiality for the prisoners. The entire press of Washington, with a few honorable exceptions, are re- tained to blackguard and browbeat witnesses, and the criminals are laughing in their sleeves at the futile efforts to bring them to justice. The millennium will indeed have arrived when Republican administration will punish Republican criminals.

TIE Payment of taxes by the Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific railroads will leave Cochise County almost, if not entirely, out of debt. If the Board of Supervisors can manage to con- sumate the negotiations now pending. relative to payment of last years taxes, the members thereof will deserve much commendation from the people. An average of sl1, ,OOO per mile, as basis for taxation of rail road companies, is fair, and yields a certain and permanent revenue for the county.

IT is strange that the Pima county Board of Supervisors have not re- piled to the proposition of Cochise county regarding unity of action, to prevent, if possible, the consumma- ton of the Yavapai census fraud. The silence of the Pima county com mission can only be attributed to one cause. Mir. Clark Churchill, the astute northern Arizona politician, was in Tucson at the time the Pima county board received the propesi- ton, and it is more than prob able that job was then and there effected. It has been an open secret for the past few days, that Churchill promised ff- teen hundred extra votes from Yavapai county to the Republi, can territorial ticket, in consideration of a passive policy regarding the census fraud, by Pima and Cochise county Republicans. It has been asserted that Churchill and the lead ing radicals of Pima county, includ- ing the chairman of the Board of Supervisors held long and frequent consultations, and the Tucson politi- clans were less violent in denuncia. tion of the fraud after each meeting It is we'll that the people of southern Arizona should understand this deal
 The Republican politicians are will ing to barter away the proper representation of the southern counties in the legislative as sembly in consideration of Gre turning board" for the manufacture of ready-made voters, being institu ted at Prescott. Such, in all proba bility, are the conditions of the treaty subscribed to by Clark Churchill anc the Tucson Republicans. The peo' pie should bear it in mind on election day and properly repudiate the tricksters who seek to lead them into such disgraceful alliance.

THE Grant strikers are already laying wires to capture the next Republican convention for the old afan. Arthur IS turning the Garfield Republicans out of office faster than is consistent with decency, and fill ing the public cribs with unadulter- ated Stalwarts. This is undoubtedly u move in the interest of the hero of Appomattox, and if the half-breed element of the party wish to get away with him it will be necessary to get up and dust. The Republi- cans cannot shake off Grant; the party is mortgaged body and soul to him, and if he cannot rule it he has strength enough to spread havoc throughout the entire organi- zatlon. One thing is certain: if the Republicans don't nominate Grant, and give the people a chance to sit down on him, he will be white elephant on their hands during the remainder of his natural life. He don't seek power 50 much as money, and in order that he may get his hand occasionally in the neighbor- hood of the public treasury, he W ishes to be President. Grant is a natural beggar,. and has made up his mind to enrich himself and family at the ex- pense of the taxpayers.

A BIG SWINDLE.
A German House in Hong Kong on
the Make,
And Cheat Their Consignees put OF
100000.

Boston, April 10.-The Journal says
that the outline Of the operations Of
al extensive swindle in the China trade
reached here this morning. The indi-
cations are that a gigantic fraud is
about to be exposed. The house of Vo'
gel 6 Co., of Kong Kong, has done an
extensive business in hemp, silk and
other goods between China, America
and Europe. Very recently English
and French e~onsignees Of the firm re-
ceived several cargoes of cheap fourth
rate silks in place Of irst-class goods
which had been ordered and paid for.
Hardly had investigations begun when
the arrival of the ship Richard Robin
son in New York with a cargo from
the same house exposed an extensive
fraud of some kind.
Several New York and Boston firms
received consignments of hemp as they
supposed by the vessel they had sent,
and letters of credit and purchase
through banking houses as is custom
airy in trade. A large quantity of the
hemp should have been worth $50 per
bale. On opening the cargo on Satur-
day it was found to consist principally
of canton matter worth less than So
per bale.
Meantime steps to apprehend the
head Of the house at Hong Kong by
mea Of cable orders to arrest him re-
suited in the receipt of a dispatch say
ing that he had sailed on the last
steamer probably for France. Detect
ives in the latter country attempted to
find him at the time he was expected
to arrive, but he has been traced, it is
believed, to Italy. bis capture is we'll
nigh despaired of, although the pursuit
has been made as rapidly as possible.
Silk shipped to Europe by Vogel 81
Co. is worth not much more than $40
per bale, but was paid for at the rate of
nearly $500. The losses of consignees
thus far reported amounts to $500, 900.
One Boston firm received $500 bales of
so called hemp by the Richard Robin
son and it was worth about one-sixth Of
the amonnt paid. A thorough investi-
cation of affairs is being made and a
more definite statement will soon be
ready.
