The OrOviIle Murder Trial-Evidence all
i'm and Arguments Commenced.

ORovILLE, January 27th.-The evidence in
the Sproul case closed at 2 P. N. to-day, and
the opening argument was made by Major
Jones, Assistant District Attorney, who was
followed by Mrs. Gordon. The Courtroom
was crowded to its utmost capacity, among
whom were many ladies. The Court ad-
journed before Mrs. Gordon completed her
argument She will conclude tomorrow, and
be followed by Judge Reardan. and District
Attorney Gale will close the case.
The defendant was put on the stand to-day
in his own defense, and he told the whole
story of his married life aud the wrongs termi-
mating in the terrible tragedy, with such
simple earnestness and with such convincing
force of its truth that the entire audience,
including the Judge, jury and members of the
bar, were very visibly affected, and tears
stood in many eyes. Had the case been at
once submitted without argument, it is the
almost unanimous expression that the jury
would have returned an immediate verdict of
not guilty. The evidence for the defense dis
closed that the character of the defendant up
to the time of this terrible tragedy had been
Unimpeachable and his domestic life happy
and pleasant one. He is a man of fine
literary attainments, and the author of o
large Volume, entitled 1.-The Mysteries, or
Mental Philosophy of the Bible," which
work was submitted in evidence.

Buelna, who had been drinking heavily
for two days, went into the Mint saloon

afterwards Buelna opened the drawer, took
out the pistol and went around to Givens

was taken out on the sidewalk. He renewed
his abuse, and said he would "cook Will

Two men had hold of .Buelna while

himself and went to the Mint saloon. Buell.

German SuDdayS.

Mrs M J. Pitman's European Freezes.
 Most devoutly I sat through my first church service in Europe. 1 was m the glorious Cologne Cathedral. All about me-sometimes kneeling on the floor, sometimes standiug-wereO officers in un- form, tourists, ladies in beautiful blacs toilets, bare-headed serving maids, cOUn- try women with their lunch baskets be- side them, peasants in gay costumes with knitting wOrK under their arms for country women had come tO mass only as prelude to the after noon holiday iu the park. People
 walked about and chatted; now and then there was music from a boy choir high up and sometimes the interlng of the priest reached me as from a distant
 building, and there came an odOr of in- cense as from some far-away land of
 perfume. Could any thing be more un
 like our own home Sunday service? But can we say that ours to them IS less
 strange than theirs to us? "YOu put on your best clothes to go to church in America, don't you? How very queerr' sand a German Romanist to me one day.

 print the following tomorrow morning. According to the statrne, .s of credible witnesses, there lives ir a handsome mansion on Mount Lockout a man, wealthy in this worlds goods. surround -d by all that wealth can bring him. The
 father of this man, now over eighty years of age, 1t IS reported, has for the
 past twenty years been confined m the cellar of his sons residence. The old man is stone blind, probably from his long confinement ID the dark cellar
 Why he IS kept there DO one knows, eX- cept, as rumor has 1t, that his sons wife bears him ammOsity for some cause Old and infirm though he is, this old man Is bat scantilly clad. is fed on the lesvings of the table, served to him in an old, rusty tn pan, much as a dog would be fed, and, as a return for what he gets. is compelled to chop all kindling wood for the immense house. There, in the dark, damp cellar, with barely clothes enough to keep hIm warm, bare footed and bare-headad. this old man subslsts on what he can get-the scraps of the kftchen-and often times he does not eveU get that. Itis related that, last winter, wien the snow lay on the ground and the thermometer indicated a temperature that would almost freeze the marrow in thickly clad mans bones the old man went out of doors. and, of course, could not find the way. When one of the servants volunteered tO show him the way his dauChter-in-law saId
 'No, let him find his way it will do the s.Il lav-rI frIgrI FR afnrI fhn awhile" A iother time. when some of the servants were eating meal in the kitchen the old man came Co the tnp Of the cellar stairs and said he was hungry. Upon this the daughter-i-i-law ridiculed him. and, closing the door on the old mans head, pushed him back down the stairs, saying Ee could have nothing tO eat because of his asking for it. He has no bed in which to sleep such as man O' his years should have, but is given an old hard mattress, no pillow, aEd scarcely any covering at all, in the laundry. which is, from the nature of the work done there damp and cold at all timr=. Never but once since his confinement began has he been permitted tO go outside the yard and that was when his ErandsCn, who IS very bitter m hIs denuuciatlOn of the manner in which his grandfather is l treated, gave him S2j with which tO pay his way to some relatives in Tennessee.

THE NEW SOUTH.


 Georgia Is making the most rapid strides in improvement and wealth of any southern State. It has pursued the most liberal spirit towards northern capital and enterprise, and the result Is | that manufactures have been built up in | different parts of the State and she k rivalling New England in her manufac- | ture of cotton and Pennsylvania in iron. Atlanta Is an enterprising city, remind 1 ing one of Chicago and Cincinnati, and IS destined to bs the largest inland city in the south, having made itself the | center of the great railroad system which the new life infused into the south since the abolition of slavery has made neces- sary.
 In politics Georgia is outgrowing the dark ages of Bourbonism and is coming to take liberal and progressive views which are more in consonance with the spirit of the present age. The back of the Solid South" has been broken in Georgia. This has been partly through the infusion of northern ideas by large immigration, and partly through the change in interest which the building up of new industries has wrought. Georgia's manufacturing interests have now become so large that it is as strong ly in favor of protective legislation as New England and more so. The manu- faCturers in the old mauufacIuring dls tricts could survive urfrIendly legisla- tion because they have a thorough sys- tenn, a well established business and large aecumulat;ons of capital. 1t IS the struggling industries of the south and west, like the silk and wine interests Of California, that need the fostering iD- reference of protective legislation. not the manufacturing kings of the east. The result of this is to change the centre of the protective sentiment of the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi. With its fostering care Arizona may hope some day to have the raw materials placed here in such proiusion by provi- dent nature utilized and manufactured here.
 The result of Republican legislation on this point has been to scatter manu- factories throughout the South and West, and to-day there IS not city of any importance possessing water power or favorable location for the trade of good section of country in which there is not one or more manufacturing estab- lishments.
 These results are beneficial to all in- terests. The manufactories in crease the population of our towns and improv the home market for the products of tL. country.
 If the Democracy makes the issue upon this question,a as the representatives of ED gIish capital in the East who have always controlled the action of the party threat en to do, they will find the sentiment Of the South and West has changed since the former days of Democratic suprem- acy. Prejudice may hold the solid South to the dead issues of Bourbonism for while longer, but self interest and the spirit of progress now asserting itself will eventually work the emancipation of the whites of the South from its thrall- dom.

INVITING IMMIGRATION

Every State and every other Territory has some provision for stimulating i'm migration. Arizona none, unless we call the exploits of Cochise county cowboys and Apaches advertising dOdges. We
 think the tendencies of these how
 ever, is to retard rather than ad- vance the increase of our population. Arizona has undevelOped resources which are worth careful attention aud which if properly presented would secure recognition and bring a large in tlux of population and capital. Even the unsatisfactory work entitled the Re sources of Arizona" issued by order of the last Legislature, imperfect as 1t was, has been of benefit to the Territory. The proper method of reaching the sub feet is through an immigration board and a commissioner of immigra- tion employed to secure informa- ton calculated to induce people to come here and make the neces- SHY IIpNlHAuAlr AOA AAtAfAA+ ---A a---
 tion published aud systematically dis tributed. New Mexico IS pursuing a wise course in this regard and IS reaping a rich reward for all the outlay it re- quires. Arizona's next legislature should take similar steps-and not rely wholly upon her newspapers to adver- tise her rich resources. The newspapers are doing a great work for the Territory and their patronage warrants the belief that the public appreciates thelr services
 They, however, furnish only the current history of the wonderful progress the country is making. In addition to this the publication of information touching all matters and in comprehensive form is required and such publications should be sown broadcast over this country and Europe. The result would be to secure to Arizona the attention which her vari
 ed and important interests entitle her

IT is reported that there has been a sudden exodus of Cowboys from Tombstone. Their destination is un- known, but it is supposed that they will attempt to intercept Sheriff Paul on his return from Denver and assassinate his prisoner. For the credit of the Terri tory it is to be hoped that thesefears are groundless, but it is stated that threats have been made that Paul should not return with his prisoner alive. If Sher- if Paul is intercepted we suppose the Star with it's usual consistency will hold the Governor and the Republican party responsible.

YUMA LETTER.


 We publish, as a matter of curiosity, the following letter received by a gentle man of this place. The writer of the letter IS one of the guests of the Terri tory.
 YUMA, A. T., May 20, 1882.
 DEAR SIR:-It is now about two months since my arrival at this arcadian retreat and I found in this instance an application ofthe old adage that the devil is never so black as painted. I entered here with about the same feelings ore IS apt to have at the gates of Hades, but pleasant surprise awaited me-every- thing was 50 different from what l ex- pected of an institution of the krnd. Since my arrival here I had but little occasion to communicate with outside partles, but I remember your kind promise to answer casual let ter. A friendly word acts like a ray of light in here. I am not of very Respondent rature, but prison life does not seem to agree with me; the days seems like months and the dawn of freedom still ages ahead. I am doing my best to look at the bright side of my forced detention. but unfortunately thoughts and rheumatic pains are be- yond control and the latter are trying their best to make me as miserable as possible. No doubt you have plenty of reading matter of no more value to you, intellectual reading matter IS Tara avis in here and if you would favor me with some I should be very grateful. I beg you not to trouble yourself about it, any time will do, whenever q favorable opportunity for sending should present itself. The recollection of your kild- ness towards me shall always be a bright spot in my memory. Believe me, that I shall not give cause for you to regret having extended helping hand to your ever grateful and obedient servant.
