THE RAILROAD HAsHours

The blockade has al last been raised
 and travel upon the Southern Pacific
 resumed. The principal washout oc-
 cured between Maricopa and Sweet
 water stations, in the sink of the Santa
 Cruz rlver. This sink is the receptacle
 of a watershed of miles in extent and
 at this place the track was more or less
 undermined for ten miles. The water
 covered the whole valley, and in places
 it was cut out to the depth of ten feet
 under the track. Al this had to be curbed up with tles, and the ground be- low was SO soft that in places the curb
 ing IS twelve or fourteen feet deep. The
 task of repairing was herculean, and after passing over 1t the writer is sur prised that the road was made at all passable in the short space of time. These delays are tedious and troublesome to travellers, but the ex- pense entailed upon she company and the trouble occasioned the managers of
 the road is simply enormous. Col. A. 4. Bean, the Superintendent of this Division, with J. F. Knapp, his ss- slstant were on the ground in person and lsbored necessarily to open the road and they deserve great credit for ac- complaining the work so speedily and successfully. The place where this washout occurred is treacherous ground and trouble is inevitable during the rainy season. The only way to provide against it is to move the road further 10 he south onto the h-gh ground, make 1nly one crossing ot the sink of the )f the Santa Cruz and make that with sufficient sluiceways and strong enough .o withstand the floods. This change he company will be compelled to make, md we think 1t would be wise economy o make 1t at once.
 The company, through its officers, did III in its power to make the detained ravelers comfortable during the blockade on the burning sands of the lesert. When Superintendent Bean rrived at Miracopa, the ice supply was and the passengers were be- . ng compelled to drink the warm water The Colonel at once ordered a supply | f ice from Yuma, and the act will be | remembered by the detained | ravelers.
 These washouts are an important fac pr in the expense of railroading in | bis Territory, and should be taken into consideration by the public in all their lovements affecting railroads. These oods are irresistible and inevitable, and lmost baffie the highest skill of engin- ering. When water comes with such ,rce that it will excavate holes to the epth of ten or fifteen feet, with sides al- lost perpendicular, the magnitude of le difficulty can be approximately It is evident that these
 eaks of the elements must be a source continual expense to the company.

SOME of the Democratic papers of the Territory mysteriously intimate that they will bring forth a millstone to hang around Judge Pc ter's neck just before election day. This is an old dodge of the Democracy, and is copied after the Mercy letter forgery during the Presi- dential canvass of 1880. The people look for such fulminations during the eleventh hour of the campaign, but simply laugh at them.

LYNCH LAW.

What a commentary upon the law and
 its administration is the ghastly affair
 which took place in Globe during We'd
 nesday night. Knowing that the ends
 of justice are almost generally defeated
 through the unreasonable technicalities
 ln law and defective statutes, the good
 people of Globe gathered en masse and proceeded with the utmost good order and decorum to a swift and full trial of the stage robbers and murderers of Dr.
 Vail and Andy Hall; found them guilty of murder and at once hanged them It was no excited mob that awarded the punishment meted out, but a quiet and determined assemblage of otherwise law-abiding people, who do not propose to tolerate crime in their midst nor per init criminals to go unwhipt of justice.
 Lynch law is certainly wrong in Erin- ciple and its practice Is demoralizing in the extreme, and when there is a bare possibility of justice in the courts it should never be tolerated. In the present instance, however, the provoca- tion was certainly great, and if lynch law IS ever iustifiable it was in this case.
 The telegraph brings news of similar acts in all parts of olr country and each sounds a note of warming to our law makers and administrators. We want laws shorn of all technicalities: laws that will deal out exact justice to all and visit proper punishment upon the guilty criminal with uner- ring exactness. As it now stands, 1 ! slight clerical error in the pro- ,eedings, or aR unguarded statement, 1 1r one of a thousand other insignificant l seems to condone for l ,rime, and gives to the red-handed mur- ierer his liberty. No wonder that the | people sometimes grow weary of the | avs defects, and wipe out the existence ,f the enemies Of law and good order, | with a short shrift.
 Here IS a field of reform that IS worthy | he consideration of our ablest citizens.

 From the above it will be inferred that the Democratic party IS about to establish an idiot training school for its adherents. As such B step exhibits a progressive spirit in that party, we say amen. There is hope that it may yet become respectable.

IT should be borne in mind by all persons entitled to vote at the coming election, that a new registration Is re- quired, and every voter must be regis tered by the middle of October, or he will lose his suffrage. It does not meet the requirements of the law that ones name IS on the old great register: the voter must appear personally and be registered anew. Timely attention to this will save much trouble and ye1a- tion.

TIE CITIZEN would have us believe that the Republicans in Congress have entered into conspiracy to grant no favors to Democratic communities. In short that the people must forego their political convictions in order to be treated fairly by a Republican Congress. This is a severe criticism upon the honesty and justice of Re pubicans; but coming from a leading organ of their party it must be correct. Star.
 The CITIZEN never intimated any such thing, but it did say that Delegate Oury apologies for his shortcomings on the score of his political afHliation, while the Star pulverizes Oury by show ing that Montana's Democratic Dele gate secured for his Territory great and benefits, while Oury under similar circumstances, got nothing for Arizona.

Indian News.

The following from the Globe Car1u-
 icle shows the alI-peryaduE state mse-
 curity throughout tgat section because
 Cl Indians now of the reservation:
 "On the Nth Instant scouting party
 oi the Globe Rangers, numbering seven
 men, left Globe for another expedition
 tlruu h the ranches beyond McMilleu.
 At GieasUn's ranch on the Salt River
 they found nineteen head of cattle killed
 as we'll as a number of calves and on the
 range rounded up thirty-twO head. In
 all some seventy SIX head were saved.
 IhIs shows that over lOO head of stock.
 mostly belonging Co Silas Tidwell, has
 been drIven'Of by the redskins. It was attempted tO track the cattle, but heavy rains had deluged the section and wash ed out all marks by which they might be followed. After searching along fine uver the party returned tO McMilleu and, dividing into twOs, proceeded tO search the country in that vicinity for cattle and Indians. Saturday morning Ildwell and Mack McClutchon had reached Hess ranch, about nine miles north of the town, when they suddenly came upon a camp of Indians The nearest redsklu was on the top of a mar TOW ridge, about fifty yards away and, uLsuspicious Of danger, was evidently acorns. The men fired three shots at hIIn, one ball striking him in the head and another in the side He fell dead m hIs tracks and Mack dashed up tO where the horses of the Indians were grazing and cut out a Iaare that had been stolen from F. ShaIley. The men then retreated to a more secure po- sitIon, while the redskins. numberIn- live bucks and a squaw, pulled the body of ther cOmrade into the gulch, threw 1t over one of the horses and rapidly de- ,amped in the direction of San Carlos. | thirty five miles distant. As soon as the ! camp was deserted, the men went down .o lt and saw that without a doubt they had made a good Indian. The horses | Tyre loaded down with agency provi- ilOns, mostly flour, which they were evidently carrying to their brother rene yades, as the quantity was much in ex- 'ess of what they could use. Messrs. | lldwell and McClutchon are t1 be con- yratulated for the service they have | lone. If for every three shots fred in | 'ther encounters there should be one | ,Ood Indian, we soon would be troubled l with DO more hostilas.

The number of mining sales since the lst of January certainly indicate that capitalists are becoming interested in
 Wood River. A few of the principal sales are brought to mind, such as the Robert Irwin, near Ketchum. which brought S4O,GJO; the Paymaster. on East Fork, S25,0O0; Bob Orr's Nevadan. on the Big Smoky, S30,OO0; King of the West, Little Smoky, s20,OOO: Dead Shot, S30,OOO; MuldOOn, SlOO.OOO; Narrow Gauges, on Deer creek. SSO.OOO: Mon day. s50,OO0; Wolftone, Sl6.0O0: Nam moth. s3O,O.O; Lark, Ss,OOO; Mayfower. S3jO,OOO; the French boys claims on Deer creek, S45.OOO; the Sorrel Horse, SlO,OOO These are the greater portion of the sales wherein the amount of purchase money was made public. The transfers in which the consideration has not been stated will undoubtedly swell the aggregate to over S1,O01000 invested in Wood River mining property wit hin the past six months.
