Colonel II. C. DsAhna, ex-colIector of
customs at Sitka, Alaska, but removed by
President Hayes, has been appointed a
special agent of the treasury department
for the Southern district Of Arizona. He
is the man who now and then created .
sensation by taking advantage of every
opportunity to tell Hayes what he thought
of him. Especially did he create excite
ment at the time Of the ex presidents last
reception, when he read 4 written speech
denunciatory of the chief magistrate for
removing him from bis place in Alaska,
compelling him to pay his own ex-
penses back and thus imposing additional
hardship upon bB GnriDG family. IEwa
said once tha 10 tried 10 issasslnate Aed-
retary Sherman, because the latter, he
thought, EasinstgHQentsl in sesSring his
removal. Tho police watched him several
times, fearing he would assassinate lead
ing officials. The colonel, however, denies
that he ever contemplated injury to any
one. He was moved to his denunciations
Of Hayes because the latter had thrown
him out of employment and placed his
family in danger Of starvation.

Senator Malone is having a hard
time pacifying the patriots to whom
he made promises just previous to
the late campaign. What he wanted
then was votes, and what he wants
now is some way out of the diff

be able to readjust the matter.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to appeal the anti treat
law. This certainly ought to be
done, as the law has been a great
annoyance during the past year, pre-
venting old friends from treating
each other and causing a general
suspension of all convivial enjoy
ment.

The Iowa County Democrat.
1882.

The DEMOCRAT for 1882 wiz be the best news
paper ever published in Iowa county. We have
better arrangements than ever for quickly gather
ing the news and our presses, types and general
printing material being of the latest and most
improved styles, we can speedily put in type and
publish the news when gathered. And besides,
the postal arrangements which are being per-
iected on the c. & n. W. R'y and the several
stage lines will enable US to send our papers to
almost every part Of the county within few
hours Of the time they are issued.
The DEMOCRAT will contain contributions from
many az the representative men Of the county;
and the discussion Of matters Of public interest,
and the giving Of full accounts Of public meet
ings, and all doings in which people gener-
ally are interested will be made paramount TO
publishing items Of mere personal gossip; which
Il too often the reverse with local papers.
