" A DAVID CAME TO JUDGMENr.'

The "half-breed" organ says of It's candidate for sheriff, eff his advice had been taken and acted upon, these outlaws (the Earps) would now be doing the state some service, at Yuma, and every citizen of Tomb stone knows it." The citizens of Tombstone know nothing of the sort. They do know, however, that hls ad- vice was all he gave. He refused to assist in their arrest. He permitted them to walk the streets armed to the teeth, and did not arrest THEM for carrying con- cealed weapons, or threaten to sscut their heads off," The citizens of Tombstone also know that Nea- gle's chief orator, friend and trainer once occupied exactly the same po- sition with the Earps. He was their friend, he is Neagle's now, he helped them, he is trying to help Neagle now, he pleaded for them, he is talk ing for Neagle now. But he did them no good, and will not be more successful in the present case There is but one conclusion to draw from these facts. Neagle is friend, sup. porter and admirer of the Earps, as he has been of outlaws and stage robbers all his life. Is such man proper person to be Sheriff? Let the voters in November answer.

now assert, or make the voters of this county believe he is not, and if elect. ed will be a friend of theirs, and will, as compensation for Judge Her. rlng's assistatce, do all in his power to protect ard assist them when they return? Is he not far worse than Ward in this respect? And of the three candidates is not l.. w. Carr the only one who is entirely free from such damning entanglements?
 The "independent half-breed" or- gan denounces Gas lie out of whole cloth" our statement that Judge Her ring took his daughter in his buggy and carried barley to the Earps. We have only to say that the Judge will not deny it, and if he does we will prove it upon the affidav;ts of respec- table citizens and taxpayers of this place. If there be collision between Ward and the Earps, which we do not deny or doubt, thsre must be, judging from appearances and the facts before us, an agree ment between them or their counsel and Dave Neagle. We ask the peaceable and law.abiding citi- zens to examine this important mat ter closely before they vote for either Ward or Neagle, and after doing so we feel convinced they will see through the thin guise of the Ward ites and the "half- breeds" and cast their votes for l.. w.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-A warrant was issued this evening for the ar rest of w. Dickson, on affidavit of Juror McNcelly, for endeavoring to improperly influence the verdict of the star route jury. Another war rant was issued for hls arrest on af. fidavit of Brewster Cameron, with atlidavits of H. A. Bowen and Will son.

Dick . son at midnight stated he had not heard of the issuance of the warrant for his arrest till late hour to- night. They had not been served, and he could he found at home in the morning. It is understood the warrants were handed to an officer with instructions not to serve until tomorrow. A most diligent search for N. c.

The Truckee Fire,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S. A Truckee dispatch says: The fire last evening destroyed a considerable portion of the business pa of town, inc c'udlng the American Hall, Shrift House and Odd Fellows Building. Loss, upwards of fsl00,000, two thirds covered by insurance. The fire started in Mank's brewery, and is thought to be attributable to his carelessness, and under the first ex. citement following, this being the fourth general fire within few years, there was some talk of lynching him.

FALL BROKE UP"

Since this paper passed under its present management it has worked faithfully and consistently for the advancement of the principles of democracy, and the success of :he ticket pla ed in the field by the rep. resentatlves of that grand old party. To be successful it was necessary to crush out the half-breed" serpent of "independentism" which, under the guise of democracy, hoped to crawl into the councils of the party and betray them on the Eth of Novem. Der by the election of a man who, without political principles, would hesitate at nothing which would con. tribute to the accomplishment of his purposes. It is now eleven days before voice of the people will be expressed in their silent but potent ballots, and already the backbon of " half-breed indepenaentism " is broken in this county, and its follow CTS thrown into confusion and dis
 order. Their efforts to manufacture political capital have been futile and impotent. Their last resort has been to accuse the democi atic party of this county of intending to throw their votes for the republican candidate for sheriff, that with his election the Earp faction might control the destinies of the county for the ensuing two years. This was their stock in trade. They constantly asserted and reiter- ated that Neagle had driven the Earps from the country, when they dare not deny that their candidate not only had no part in 1t, never ar rested, or assisted to arrest, one of them, but positively refused to join a posse raised for that purpose. In the face of all this we find Judge Herring, the adviser, trus
 ted friend and defender of the Earps, stumping the county with and accompanied by Neagle. Can he

MANY of the leading conservative e republicans in the territory will sup. port Oury for congress against Por- ter. They say Porter is not a man of his word; he was not straight on the bench; he has not been straight since he was forced to resign, and he will not be straight or square if he gets to congress, and while Oury might have been more energetic (which we don't admIt), he is at least honest and trustworthy.

The National Scandal,

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 2S.-The Star Route scandals now seem likely to break out in a new place. Accord ing to the latest story several officers and clerks, of the department of jus. tice, are to be discharged for reveal ing secrets of the prosecution to the defense. During the investigation and trial of the cases it was noticed that the defense had important infor, nation as early as the government it self, and this led to an examination, which it is said disclosed the fact that the clerks were betraying the de. partment's secrets.

IN no other part of the country is the law more universally respected than in Cochise. The desperadoes and lawless characters who once in- fested this county have been driven out or voluntarily abandoned a place where they could no longer practice their lawless calling with impunity. Dave Neagle had just as much to do with bringing about this state of affairs as he did with the suppression of the late insur- rection in Egypt. An opportunity was once afforded him to assist tn. constituted authorities in the enc forcement of the law, but he, from some cause best known to himself, utterly refused to cooperate. After the Earps had escaped and left the city and were fugitives from justice, Sherff Behan requested Neagle to accompany tho posse in pursuit. This he refused to do, and yet he has since had the effrontery to claim the credit of having driven them from the country.

The 'indcpendent- breed" or gan says, "The people of Tombstone have found Neagle promp! at the call of duty" Why then did he re- fuse to assist in the arrest of the Earps when requested to do so by Sheriff Behan? Again, 'they have found him just, and partial to none" He was "partial to none" when he permitted his chief officer, Coyle, to "hold up" a respectable citizen on the street and search him for con- cealed weapons, and when remon- strated with, sad, "Don't give me any of your jaw, or I'll cut your damned head off," He was "partial to none" whep he arrested Judge Reilly, and dragging him to jail said, "you old - Pm wanting to get hold of you for some time." He was "partial to none" when he arrested Mir. Lane on Allen street, who was putting some drunken man out of his place, and jerked him to jail, not al- lowing him to go for his coat, hat, or even money for his bail. He was "partial to none" when he said, re. ferring to the Cornish voters, "Wait till after election and I'll make the d. sons of - smell he'll" Oh, yes, he's "partial to none"-but his followerc

!. IN general way tho people of this world are divided into two classes, the fools and the damned fools. Un- fortunately the majority are never able to get across the division line, and remain all their lives among the latter class. Of these, probably the most conspicuous in Arizona is pe- suliar species of the human race, known as Murphy, by courtesy called "Judge," by profession jury broker, by pretentlon a democrat, by gain an "independent." He is not man of sense, for as La Bruyere says, ia fool cannot look, nor stand, nor walk like a man of sense." Without acquired knowledge or natural ability, he repeats by rote what hls superiors say. In this role he lately delivered a so, called "independent" speech, made up of obscene stories ard cull- ings and scraps from handy but un- purchased periodicals In his tirade he honored himself by mentioning the democratic party of this county, and particularly this paper, some- what after this style:
 There are no national issues. There are no distinctive party issues In Africa it is said that venomous snakes pile themselves in monuments so interlaced and entangled that their bodies form an impervious trun- cated cone, with their heads sticking out on all sides. From whatever direction the enemy approaches it is met with forked and hissing tongues, splitting venom and is struck with fangs that poison. The re- publican party may De llkened to this monument of monsters, its official heads reaching out to destroy with the venom of abuse, detraction, vllifcation, and insult every honest republican who has not his tail within the pile.
 The above appeared in an edltor- ial in the Argonaut of Oct. If, and was localized and repeated in bad English by this so-called "Judge," :" whose assumption of the honored title is as absurd and ludicrous, as his periods of sobriety are rare. And this plaglarist IS one of the ora tors of the "independent" movement, and has the presumption and effron- tery te ask the taxpayers and citizens to affiliate wish party composed of one man.
