Has an Interview With Attorney Genera
 Brewster.

Mas an Interview uith Attorney General
 Brewster.
 WLsHINGToE, October HI A. Bow eu, who was placed under arrest at Philadelphia upon 6 warrant of his landlord for Don-payment of board, was taken to the residence of the Attorney General, who at once came out of his private office into an outer apartment, where Bowen WAS seated. The conver- sation which took place was heard by 6 senior student, who has furnished the following report for publication:
 "I was present at the interview be- tween MT. Brewster and Mir. Bowen on October 18th. About hslf-psst four saw Bowen in custody of an officer, he having been arrested for non-psyment of board. He asked Brewster to assist him SO ss tO release him from arrest and advise him now to get bail. Mir. Brevs- ter reminded him that he did not know him and had never seen him before to hiI knowledge, and because he was a stranger Co him, and also btcause of the peculiar position of Mir. Bowen toward the Department of Justice and his con nection with the Dickson charges, he was the lsst man Mir. Brewster could in- tercsde for 10 help under sny circum- stances. Mr. Bowen said he saw DO im- propriety in that. Mir. Brewster said he CMr. Bowen involved his Department in a scandal, mtliclOusly gotten up by these Star Route nen, by attempting to bring Mir. Dickson ID connection with Cameron. Mir. Bowen said he was very sorry, but he meant no wrong.
 "Mr. Brewster then suggested that If he could get money from his friends m New York, where he said he had money, he could easily get it by tele- graphic remittsnces. Finally Mir Bowen said. Yes. that could be done; and the officer said be would go with him. MT. Brewster spoke in a loud tone in the presence of the officer and myself, and on Mr. Bouen's suggestion that they speak in private. he refused, saying there was nothing to be private about Before the interview Mir. Bowen sent in by 100 the appended note, and Ar. Brewster immediately came out in tho front office. was present dur ing all the intervlsw, and made this memorandum at the suggestion of Mir. Brewster. ss soon aI Bowen went out"
 SIE: While giving my statement to AaC Aheo-ACy AAAl1 III the alleged bribery of Mir. Dickson. vas arrested by the proprietor of the hotel where I am stopping, for my board bill.

HENRY 4. BOWEN.

As this man Bowen had brief but somewhat inglorious car eer in this city, the following dispatch dated Washing ton, October 18th, will not be entirely devoid of interest:
 Henry A. Bowen who WAS arrested in Philadelphia today for beating the Great Western Hotel, IS the person who has obtained notoriety recently in con- nection with Dickson's charge of the bribery of jurors in the Star Route trials. The impression has been created that Mir. Bowen was employed by the Department of Justice in some capacity ID relation to the Star Route cases, but in fact he has never had the slightest connection directly or in- directly with these cases. About the middle of August last Bowen presented himself Co the Attorney General, bring ing . letter from the Secretary of War, m which Mir. Lincoln stated that Bowen was his personal friend and that he (the Secretary desired a favorable consideration of matters about which Bowen would speak. Bowen wanted to be appointed agent of the Government to investigate the charges that had been made in relation to the selling of liquors to Indians in Arizona. The Department of Justice has invariably deferred to the War Department in the matter of the appointment of officers for duty in connection with matters relating to that Department. So the Attorney General gave Bowen com mission and he started for Arizona. But after he had reached his post, and before he had entered upon the per formRnce of his duties, the true character of the adventure was ascer- tained and he was removed on the lIth of September. Dickson's affidavit con- tsins statement that Bowen attempted to bribo the Afiaut. who was foreman of the jury, to vote for the conviction of the defendants. It will be seen from the foregoing statement that, if Dick sons story be true, yet Bowen had not the slightest authority to represent the Department of Justice in that respect.

MR. HORTON should understand that such defenses as those attempted in the Stsr-nmply calling Col Ben. Morgan . slanderer and a traducer-are regarded by many people as equivalent to an sd- mission that the charges made against him cannot be successfully met and refuted. The question is not what Mir. Morgan Is, but what MT. Horton is2 The pamphlet issued by Col. Morgan Is strong enough backed, as it IS, by what unless retuted-is pretty conclusive evidence, to throw the burden of dis proving the charges made upon MT. Horton and it Is useless for him to at- tempt to evade 1t and have the people continue to think him q suitable man for Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion.

COURT BUSINESS.

Under Judge Hoovsr's direction the
 business of the Court has progressed
 with unusual dispatch, but 1t is even
 now apparent that many important
 cases must go over until the next term.
 The Judge will be compelled 10 open
 Court in Cochise county on the 18th
 pro1imo, where a large and important
 calendar awaits him, and the criminal
 cases here are not yet disposed of 1t
 i, certain that bus little time will be
 left when ihe criminal cases are out of
 the way, for the hearing of important civil cases This is unfortunate in many
 respects. The statute only provides
 for two terms of Court 8 year which at best makes the processes of the law decidedly slow. Then to have the calendar SO large that it IS impossible to dispose of it, compelling the postpone nsnt of many cases, the hardship is doubled. All these things combine to make litigation expensive and almost ruinous. If amounts in many cases to 8 denIal of justice and sometimes to virtual confiscstion. It opens the door to successful blsckmsiling operations for litigEnts will sooner pay blood money than take the chances of the laws delays. As it IS now important cases involving the title to valuable pro- pcrty may hang along for months. This discourSges the investment of money and retsrds the development of all our interests, ard more especially our chief intsrest-tlst of mining.
 The next legislature should devise some plan for relieving the District Court of a portion of this work and thus expedite the decision of cases in litigs- iion. In conversation with the writer, Judge Hoover suggeGted the establish ment Of County Courts or the enlarge mont of the powers ol Probate Judges SO as to give them pognizance of the lsss important civil cases, and misde- mssnors and lesser crimes. This would remove me Dlstrict Court or mass Of business which now occupies it's atten- ton many times to the exclusion of more important matters. lhIs suggestion, it seems to us, is in the interest of econo- my and tuntics. The saving in the CT pense of keeping prisoners and wit nesses by the county would compensate for the additional Court expenses and 1t would enable many innocent parties to secure speedy rslease and secure the conviction of many guilty parties who would escape their just deserts through the disappearance of important wit nesses during the long time elspsing be- fore prisoners are tried. IL would cer- tsinly make the litigation of civil cases more economical and be in the interest of justice. The CITIZEN will have more to say upon this subject before the ss- sembling of the legislature which will | be called upon to furnish some remedy l Cor the present condition of affairs.

HE Stars defense of Horton from the charges made by Col. Ben. Morgan, isa very lame one. Whatever may be the rules of evidence m the South. in most sections Of the country abusing the other fellow or wanting him to get out and fight. prove nothing. It is poor logic to call Col. Morgan either a slau- derer or a cowaid. The part Of this pamphlet winch hurts MT Horton and the only part that hurts him seriously. is not claimed to be original by Col. Morgan but is alleged to be the repro duotion of Horton's own words, a portion of them under oath. IfMr. Horton did, or did not say or testify to what Col. Morgan makes the basis of his charges, then they will fall to the ground. If they are true, Mir. Horton IS not a suit able man 10 be sn eIemplar to the youth of the Territory nor fit man to place at the head of our educational system. We think it would be we'll for public judgment to be suspended until tt is seen if Mir. Horton can or will at tempt to retute these charges. We hope that he can do so, but we must say to him that such attempted defense as that made in this mornings Star will not satisfy the intelligent public.

MINERAL. EYHTRTTs

Under the above caption the Chlcago Mining RevIew publishes a very sug- gestiye and valuable article in relation to the establishment of mineral exhibi- tions in the leading money centers of the world. It says:
 The importance of placing permanent exhibits of the product of the different inning districts, in the financial and business centers of the country, has been admitted, even after the experiment. which has been most thoroughly tested of the Denver Exposition. 4 proposi- hon Is now made to make arrangements for exhibits ID New York and also in London, Paris, Berlin and perhaps other prominent money centers of Europe. No steps could be taken which would be more likely to attract not only attention and interest, but capital for investment in mining, than a tangible presentation of the lnexhaustible min ersl wealth of this country, and we are certain that important and lasting Dene- fits will result from a well conducted movement m the direction indicated.

 CASA CYANIDE, A. T., Oct. 20. 1884
 EDITOR CITIzES: There gro 66 solid votes at this point placed on the great register neatly filed away for the day of reckoning. They will be cast for good government and the man that can and IS able to do something for the Terri tory. This vote sbows . heavy increase over last years population and speaks well for what has been predicted for the future of Casa Grande. On the l7th the town was thrown into quite a furry by news coming from Florence that the present incumbent of the Recorders Otiee had notified all that unless the re- turns from each precinct wSs handed in by twelve o'clock on the night of the Iith, that such precinct would be de- barred from record and that the prero- gstives of 66 IOlid votes in behalf of good government, Hrtesisn wells and honest mining, would bo corralled into a sharp prOjectile and that from tho cannon of opposition would Psss through the tsIl of the comsticll comet landing upon the tail drRgonical of Nick the habitus SA AAsAoohSa-s Woulu iuClts HIS NEhlu and involve ID smoke fumloal, and in ruin total. and convey to oblivion a consignment of 66 solid votes. The citiIsns of Casa Grande aware of what vas constitutional law, at first were inclined to treat the matter with such consideration aS 1t deserved, but pre- fsrring that DO loOphols nor technicElity should be allowed by which 66 solid votes should be allowed to go by de- fault, secured the famous Papago racer owned by koOn Kan, the PApAgo chief, and dispatched truBty citizen to see that time was not lost nor horse flesh spared. but what the names should be duly presented for place on the great register of the county before midnight. It is needless 10 say that the feat was accomplished for the horse ridden was the same which Colonel Andrews made the journey from the mills of Gibrsl- tar to CasE GrSnds, twenty miles ID just 76 minutes.
