 The general feeling around town yester- day and last night, was that the EPITAPH was showing how "dead and burried' issues could be kept under the ground, instead of trying to resurrect them. It is admitted all round that the election of Ward would bring back the Earps, and a general feeling is predominant that only the election of Larkin w. Carr can keep the issues of The past where they now are. That the Earps are in correspondence with the trainers of Ward, there is not doubt, and that they would again infest this community in case of his election is ad- mittcd by everyone.

Grand Republican "RatificatiOn" at
 Benson.

We learn from sheriff Behan, who re- turned from Benson, yesterday, that Judge Porter, and the embryo Hon. Savage re- ceived a freezing reception at the lively railroad burg the night before. Fatty Stewart presided, and besides Judge Por tar there were on the stage MT. Savage, and and another gentleman, name un- known. Mir. and Mrs. O'Melvaney and sheriff Behan courleously sat on the piazza of the railroad office building and heard the speech. Besides these, two or three saloon keepers stood listlessly at their doors and took in the chin music. This was the extent of his audience and not a murmur of approval or disapproval was heard until the speech was concluded. Fatty Stewart then called for three cheers which were given by the four men on the platform, the judge himself enthusiastical' ly waving his hat.

MORE INDIAN DELILTRY.
4 Man Shot Near Bisbee-The Savages in FOrce-Rescue of the Wounded
 Man by Ben williams and Posse.

Tuesday night about dusk, Bill Johnson, commonly known as ''Liberator Bill, was attacked by band of Indians while un- hitchlng his tcam about ten miles from Bisbee. To Mr. Alf. Tregldgo, who re turned from Bisbec last evening, we are indepted for the particulars of the affair. It seems that Johnson Is a well known scout, and was engaged during the day, cutting hay in the southern end of Sulphur Spring valley. He had boy about twelve years old assisting him, and about dusk, rclned up his horses and proceeded to un- hitch. The well known, and to his ears familiar yell of the noble aborigine, caus- him 10 start and jump for his rifle, which was secured on the mower Ere he reach cd il, however, the savages commenced shooting, the first bullet striking the now CT, glancing off, and infiictng a painful wound on the side of the head near his left ear. Immediately after another bullet landed square in his abdomen, but fortun- ately struck a cartridge in his belt, thereby saving his life. He cruuchcd behind the mower and shouted to the boy who was some distance away on horseback, 10 ride to Bisbee for help, saying that he would entertain the cusses until assistance arriv: ed. The boy did as directed, and made lively time to Blsbec, and informed the people of the transaction related. Ben Williams, superintendent of the Copper Queen immediately set to work to organize a posse to go to Johnson's assist ance, and ere many minutes had dozen | resOlute men on horseback riding to the scene of the outrage. The rescucrs re. turned to Bisbec about midnight accQm. panied by the wounded man. He was not seriously hurt, though the wound in his head is painful The savages kept firing at him for about an hour, but the willy devils, anticipating the boys errand, re- treated about halfpast seven o'clock. Johnson maintained his position behind the mower until he heard the voice of his own people halling him. The horses broke loose at the first vollcy, and have not been seen since, and are doubtless in the | possession of the Indians.
 Ali. Tregidgo and II. E. Maxson left Bisbee at noontime yesterday, and arrived here about six o'clock last evening. They drove down the canyon from Bisbee in less | than half an hour, and saw small band of Indians on horseback, going south- ward. Ben. Williams and R. Hamilton | furnished our townsmen with rifles to pro- | tcct themselves on the homeward trip, for which they are truly grateful. There is not doubt but that bands of San Carlos Indians are passing and re-passing between the reservation and Sonora all the time, and if General Crook is spelling for a fight, he might stand a chance of getting il by keeping sharp lookout in Sulpt UT Springs Valley and the Chiricahuas

A New Campaign Dodge.

The Hon. John Carr, Lord Mayor of Tombstone, created something of an eX- citement on the streets yesterday by eyhib- tinga wood cut engraving ot Lord Mayor McArthur of London, and calling atten- lion to the remarkable resemblance that existed between the chief magistrates of Tombstone and the British metropolis. This is the latest campaign dodge on rec ord, and should pan out well on account of its extreme originality. There is no doubt but that the "human bean meant to convey the idea that he was great man because his phiz somewhat resem- bled a plain wood-cut engraving of his worship, the Lord Mayor of London.

Sad Case Of Drowning.

DR.. Gustavus A. Williams, of Front
Royal, venerable gentleman, who was an
assistant Surgeon in the U. s. Army dur
ing the Seminole war, was drowned in
the Shenandoah river last week, near Riv-
erton, where he was fishing with S. D.
Turner, another prominent citizen Of that
town. The Warren Sentinel says:
SIN at empting to move from one fish

was polling the boat, ran it too near tne

filled and sunk. carrying both occupants
into the water with it. Capt. Turner, by
use of all his strength and swimming
powers, got clear of the undertow and
reached point some thirty or more yards
below the dam where the depth of water
permitted him to touch bottom. DR.. Will

heavy anchors attached to the boat added

Seen. Malone has made the blunder OF
attempting to command the Readjustsr
party as he might have commanded bri-
gade Of the Confederate army. Too much
dIctasion will not be endured by any polit-
ical organization in America. Malone had
fair enough start as great political
leader, but certain degree of success
seems to have made his head swim, and to
have induced him to believe that Virginia
was at his feet. He might endure adver
| sity but prosperity is too much for him.
His autocracy is being turned to naught by
his own party, and a section of it has twice
defeated him. 1t is time that he learned
