IMPRESSIONS,

We respectfully request that all persons, entering Tombstone on horseback, do so at moderate gait. Those coming down the street at a gallop are sure to be intercepted by a crowd in the belief that they are from the seat of war, and our local reporter has enough to do without breaking hls neck in an effort to catch what don't exist. He is good reporter, and therefore we don't want him wind broken before he reaches the prime of life, Bad whisky will finish him soon enough.
 The Citizen asserts that the Demo- crats are as much to blame as the Republicans for the imbecility of the Indian Ring. This conclusion is arrived at, we presume, in a belief that the Democrats should have been numerically strong enough to have elected Democratic Administration. A minority party has no more right to lose than poor man has to live.

X RACE FOR LIFE.
Incidents of the Indian Raid in the
 Vicinity Of Gaieyvlile.

Mir. J. w. Grant arrived here yesterday from Bowie and was immediately lassoed by an EPITAPH man, who succeeded in extracting some interesting information concerning the Indian raid in the vicinity of Galeyville. Mir Grant, in company with two trienas, named Adam Simmons and Sam Beckwortb, were in the vicinity of Clute's camp on the day the hoStiles made their first raid. He was about halt mile distant from where the two men were killed and young Fife wounded, at the tune that transaction occurred He and his companions were in Bear canyon, and saw the Indians in considerable force ahead of them, but mistooK them for cav airy and consequently approached un-- pleasantly near them. When they did discover their identity at last, Simmons rode away hastily on 8 search for cavalry company that was supposed to be somewhere in the vicinity. The two others mounted knoll and kept close and constant watch on the hostiles for two hours. At the end ot that t:me the lnulanS began to move Out, anu the two friends concluded that it would be
 wisdom for them to do the same. Before
 this they were hidden from the gaze of the savages, but to longer conceal themselves was impossible, so race was determined on. They had allowed the redskins to partially surround them, believing that
 they would go round the knoll instead of climbing over it. In this they were mis- taken, and placed Tn rather torrid posi-
 tion There was no time to be lost in
 planning or speculating. What was to be
 done should be done quickly, and the only alternative left them was to make dash
 and trust to their horses to carry them to Galeyville before the redskins could catch up with them. The dash was accordingly made, and had the result of momentarily
 nonpussing the enemy. They soon re covered their reason, however, and sent a shower of bullets after the fugitives. hap oily none taking effect. Chase was given. Galeyville was more than seven miles dis tant, and on the tleetness of their horses depended their lives. The horses acted as if they understood the situation, and proved
 themselves equal to the occasion. The h. disns were left tM in the rear, but con

No conditions were attached to his release except those attached to his previous liberation. Mir. Gladstone announced that the charge; of reasonable practices against Parnell would be withdrawn. Mir. Forster stated the reasons of his withdrawal from the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. He said he could not release the suspects unless he got from them public under standing to cease opposing the exe- cuton of the law; as he could not obtain that, he could not remain in office.

The courier reached Sau Simon about 10 9. F.. and informed the commanding officer of the facts above related. The troops. who had just about got lo sleep, were rudely awakened by the sharp blugle blast and the troops started for Galeyville, reach ing there at a. m. next morning, march ing between twenty five and thirty miles NIT. Grant is loud in his praise oi the off, cers and men of the commands named, and thinks they made more good Indians than the general public were aware of. They started on the trail immediately asd kept it warm until they aided in driving them into the arms of Col. Garcia and his Mexican troops. MT Grant states that the Fort Huachuca troops did good ser vice during the campaign. At the fight near Cloverdale, Loco tried every eypedi. ent to make the Indian scouts desert. and Lieut.. $. c. Mills, who commands them, stood in their midst during the fight with revolver in each hand, urging them by word and deed 10 stick to their cOlors This gallant action on the part of Lieuten- ant Mills probably prevented the scouts from accepting LOco's overtures, knowing that if any of them wavered he would inr- medIately become target for the Lieuter. ants craftsmanship. Mr. Grant thlnks the trouble is now all over and the Indians more thoroughly whipped than at any period since Crooks time.

Senator Vests speech on the Chinese question must have aston- ished the Massachusetts Senators by tis irrisistible statement of facts and its scathing logic. Hoar and Davis had previously spoken most bitterly against the people of California for tolerating "sard-lot' party in their midst, and Vest, in reply, reminded them of the circumstance that there had been a tumult and alms riot in North Adams, Massachusetts,, when seventy-fve Chinamen were brought there. That their em- ployers had to invoke the protection of the police to save the heathens from being mobbed by the free white laborers who protested against the bread being taken from the mouths of thelr wives and child. ren. The Missouri senator left the two eminent lovers of the Chinese collapsed in the misery of defeat
 Their boomerang had come back to them with a force they were not pre-. pared for. The speech is reported as having been a remarkable one.

GRAZING.

In travelling between this city and Charleston recently we were attract. ed by the fine grazing resources pre- sented in the lands surrounding Tombstone. AS far as the eye can reach the face of the country is coy cred with nutritious grasses, and we are informed that further south the growth is wonderful. Here is pre- ssntsa es ipsx qstib ble Source q Ewssls ths future mest ,ineyi. |'tsbiy yield 1s vast 'inyresss of ptos-s pstity to Coehise county. The San Pedo river and the innumerable mountain springs furnish all the water necessary for watering many thou sand head of stock, and there are a great number of fine situations for dairies. These facilities for grazing have hitherto not been utilized owing to the reported danger from cow boys and Indians--a danger which has been far more fictitious than real, and which has been finger. ingly dwslt upon by the press as a raxpry too sweet to end. As a mat ter of fast there are very few cow boys, taking tho~>lswless acceptation of the tern, in this section Of the the country, and there have been but two Indian outbreaks in several years. The last has been a dama- girg though brief one, but it has ended Tn the hostiles being wiped out of existence, and the bell;gerent power of the Apaches is broken for ever unless tho reservation agents should outfit the balance of their wards for desperate raid or two. As soon as the peacefulness of this county is thoroughly understood, stockmen will begin to invest in cat tie and horses, and small investors in dairies, and the result will be beyond calculation as affecting fayorably all our industries.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The regu- lar proceedings in the case of the United States vs. Brady, DoI sey, Turner and others began in the crim. inal court to-day. General Brady and Turner were the only defendants present at the opening. The court
 proceedings began with a motion to quash, by Col. Totten, in Turner's case. He said the grounds were substantially the same as those al ready disposed of in other cases, and asked to have the plea of not guilty withdrawn and have his motion en- tertained. Col Totten also present ed several other motions and pro- ceeded to explain the new points they involve. One motion charges
 that Turner, who was an officer of the United States, IS connected in same indictment with the others who were not United States officers, and sev- eral acts charged are punishable in different degrees in several conflict ing statutes, but Judge Wylie said he could not see why public officer could not conspire with citizen to defraud the Government. After fur ther argument the Judge denied the motion, and the defense noted ex- ceptions. Counsel for the defense then filed number of motions and pleas which the Court overruled in bulk, and Colonel Totten asked to have exceptions noted.
