IN the following manner the Sen tinel is hut terrible blow by the Graveyard Legend":
 The Yuma Sentinel induged in col. umn tissue of fals8ho0ds n it's last issue in relation to matters in Tombstone, about which that journal knows as much of the real merits as does South Sea Islander. fl oorsel of truth, with fewer lies and less venom would serve the interest of the ter. ritory if not the Sentinel, to much better purpose than such trash ss we now reter to.+Epitaph.
 Upon reading the foregoing we were at loss to determine in what manner we had offended our sedate contemporary. But & copy of the Free Press of February 18th threw little light on the subject. The apology of the EprrApH is accepted, ifAit will promise never to scare us in' that manner agsin.--Yuma Sen tinel.
 The apologies of the EpITApH are due and are hereby extended to the Sentinel, which, we are happy to say. is one of our fairest and best ex changes. We never complain at fair and just criticism of our institutions or the condition of affairs in Tomb stone, but when a journal goes out of the way to malign our people, as did the Free Press the article referred to, we make rule to strike back.

From the Phenix Gazette, 3d.
 Sheriff Orme's proclamation to the tramps IS having salutary effect. Yesterday afternoon nine of the gen try struck out in a body bound for the railroad.
 Hon. E. A. Tritle,'the newly ap. pointed governor of Arizona, arrived in our city this morning, en route for the capital to assume the duties f his office. As his health Is rather poor just at present he concluded to take rest here before facing the rough trip to Prescott. Gov. Tritle Is a fine !eoking man, of pleasing manner, which creates very favora- ble impression on first acquaintance. Arrangements are being made by our citizens to tender him an Informal re. ception at the Bank Exchange hotel. this evening. The brass band will be in attendance, and it is to be hoped there will be general assem. bling of our people to welcome the new governor.

SHOOTING IN CHARLESTON.
Jesse Roscoe Shot In Cold Blood nnd
 Without Revocation,

Yesterday, at SD. m., another of those unfortunate affairs took place in Charles ton that give that place so unenviable reputation. IL appears that man named Jesse Roscoe, who resides in San Simon with his family-a wife and five chlldren- came in to collect some money due him from Mir. Galley, of Galeyville, and had been stepping in Charleston awaiting the arrival of the money from Tucson. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon he went to the corral and got his horse, and was in the act of mounting him, when saloon keep. CT named "Pike''-our informant knowing no other name for him-came to the corral and peering around the gate, took deliber- ate aim, and fired at Mir. Roscoe, the shot taking effect in his right arm below the elbow, shattering the bone. The ball lodged within his shirt against his side. Just as Pike drew to fire, some one sang ou, to Roscoe, who made an effort to draw his pistol, but the ball did it's work too quick for him to do so.
 Pike then fired three shots in rapid sue. cession, one of whicl hit and wounded Roscoe's horse. the other two doing no damage. AS reported, there had been no previous difficulty between the parties, and the act can be accounted for on no other principle than that Pike, who has been drinking for the last two months, was off hls eabeza from the effect of his long spree. Mir. Roscoe IS represented as in 8 very precarious condition, being nearly gone from the consumption, and SO weak that the doct..r fears he will not stand am. putation of the arm, which IS necessary He is represented as quiet man and re- spected where he lives. He was brought to this city and is now at the Sunny Side lodging house on Fifth street His wife has been sent for.

SAN FRANCISCO is more noted for dsnng highway robberiss than the whole territory of Arizona combined. Scarce day passes that we do not read of some one being robbed on the streets of that city. In the Chronicle of March l, we read an ac count of Front street merchant being knocked down and robbed as he was returning nome from church. The Chronicle adds that "people living in the neighborhood (Haight and Laguna streets) state that it is unsafe to go homo after dark, unless one is well armed." This, certainly, is deplorsble stste of affairs for a great city.

THE Old Dominion Copper Con- pany, whose property is at Globe, Pinal county, Arizona, is veritable will.o'.the. wisp, . Jack.in.the-b box. Now you see it and now you don't. The latest concerning the multifari- ous mine appeared in the New York Daily Stockholder of February 27. Having Jailed in their efforts to smelt the ore, Capt. Burbridge now says that "the ore ranges from 2S to 55 per cent copper, being red oxide and green carbonstes, and that it aver. ages from $20 to s30 in gold. He proposes to work this ore in bat. tery, run it over plates, and coneen- trate it." This certainly will be an anomaly m tho reduction of copper The question naturally arises: How will he treat his copper concentra. tions after he amslgamates his gold? And will not his carbonates, to a large extent, be lost in the process of crushing and concentrate Prov. ing this last experiment a failure, Capt. Burbridge will probably get out of it in similar manner to what he did h,s smelting fasco! Here is what he is reported as saying about that:
 "That the failure of the smelters was dde to the incapacity of the person in, charge, who allowed the water jacket to burn through during the first run, had the top hot, and did not Aux the ore properly"
 It is . wonder that none of the blame of "incapacity" attaches to the general manager, whose duty it IS to see that capable men are placed in charge of the various departments.

 TOMBSTONE, March 6.
 EDITOR EpITAPH:--In your paper, few days since, my attention was called to paragraph stating the city government was costing the people $2,700 more than it cost last year. Your informant is either ms representing the case or is ignorant of the facts which he talks about. If he would take little pains to inform himself of the truth in the matter he would find things different. Instead of costing more, he will find it much less.
 Now, sir, let us see what there is in your informant's assertion. We will commence and figure little for the benefit of your informant. e commence with the city recorder; his salary, last year, was $lo0 per month and $5 on each conviction; :; this year he receives $1OO per month, fees charged the same as last year and paid into the city treasury.-ac- cording to hls books gain to the city of s600 per annum. Next Tn order is the chief of police; his salary is set at $50 per month, the same as last year, the license and permits taken from him, whi, h amounts, &C., cording to last quarter, amounted to $943 per annum. This is saving to the people of $943 per annum. Then our city attorney was allowed $75 per n onth with fees of $l0 on each conviction. Now he is allowed $lO0 per month and turns all fees into the city treasury-taking last year as basis saving to the city of about $500 per annum, besides his fees for collecting delinqunt taxes which many of our citizens remem. Der to their cost. Last year our city clerk and auditor received $75 per month for his services and $4 per meeting for each meeting of the common council and twenty cents per folio for all ordinances, resolu- tions, rules, etc., written in the city journal; this year he receives $l0O per month without any allowance whatever, which IS decrease rather than an increase in that office, and his duties largely increased. Now let us see how this will foot up:
 Say six hundred in Recorder office. $600 In chief of police. .................. 943 In city attOrney.... .............. 600 City attorney, collecting delinquent
 taxes. ........ ..................... 600

It has also formerly been reported that the Texas Western was to cross the Rio Granae at some point near Presidio del Nolte and go to the Gulf of California. If this is neith- CT No. 5 nor No. 10 nor dead, it may be numbered II. But if the nine materialize they will be more than will pay. It will be seen from the above statement that only three of them are now in course of construc. ton 6, and ?; but three others q, 4 and 3 have means enough behind them, and no doubt the same thing may be said of No. g. Of No. 5 we know nothing at all, and of No. 3 all we can say is that Jay Gould is not dead yet, and good many rich men are backing him.

twenty seven nunureQ ana IOTty- three dollars saving to the city. Now the council created one office, or ra- ther four offices combined in one, which it pays $l00 per month for filling, namely, license collector, fire warden, health officer and pound master, whose duty it is to see that the streets and back yards are kept clean, all nuisances are removed from within the city limits, Something that never was done before without a special officer, and then not half at tended to). Last summer, MT. Edi tor, as you are well aware, all the dead animals and other garbage was deposited in the lower end of the city, much to the detriment and in. convenience of the inhabitants of that pat of the city, likewise endan. gering the lives of the citizens from pestilence and stench arising from the putrid and decaying matter there deposited. You are we'll aware, sir, that we remonstrated sgalnst that thing, but there was no more sttcn- tion paid to our citizens than if they were a band of Chinamen. To rem edy that evil and many others the city council determined to create an officer who would be under the direct control of the mayor and council, and see that he well performed his duty in all parts of the city, which l believe no candid man will say but the city, as far as cleanliness is con- cerned, wears different aspect from what it did four weeks since. There is still plenty of work in that line for him yet to perform. Then. as license tax collector, up to this time he has collected fractional li- cense and peddlers' licenses, over $500, more than twice as much as was ever collected in that length of time before. For this service he re- ceives $l00 per month, which we have no doubt that by close atten. tion to his business as license col lector he will make saving to the city of an amount sufficient to pay his salary, the city having his other services gratis. No v, sir, two other men receive small salary more than was paid last year. Those are the stewards of the fire company, who re- ceive $25 per month each for the duties they perform, such as keeping the hose clean, keeping in good order the engine house, and lamp cleaning and lighting every night. am sure our citizens do not want this work done for nothing by the men who give their time free as fremen for the benefit of city. It would be asking little too much of our fellow citizens who compose the fire de. partm ent. Let us see how It foots up:
 Say saving to the city according
 to tue books. s.................. $2743 Extra office created: License Col.
 lectOr and general roustabout. ... 1900 One steward Hook x Ladder Go. ... 300 One steward Engine Co. No. 1..... 300
 $500
 Here is saving to the city and citizens of s943, besides the services of an extra officer whose duties could not we'll be dispensed with if we want to preserve the health and cleanliness of the city. This is as near true statement as can be had. So much for your informant's $27U0 more expense than last year. Yours respe ctfully,

From the Star.
 Last night, at very late hour-an
 hour when military and other ceme-
 teries are supposed to yawn and
 otherwise wake the natives-a wild
 eyed young man, whose hair was
 vehemently disheveled, rushed fran
 tically into the Star office and wildly gesticulating before the astonlshed
 gaze of the religious editor, some- thing after the style of the "Jolly Twelve," but in more dramatic way, threw down this peculiar epis- tie, but refused to make any expla. nation as to how it came into his possession: "My dear, did you vac. cinS? No, KS; but have brother NS, who guards the eS on Sunday night til 8 to investigS my coming fS. He is grS, if l do sa8, on the vaccinS." The R. E. gazed for a moment on the sunken eyes of the crank and then turned the Bogardus crank kicker loose and the last seen of the fellow he had no ceiling in his pants a d was on his way to Tombstone to take editorial charge of the morning paper at that place.
