CHARLESTON, AT, June 5, 1882.
 EDITOR EpITAPH: Knowing the fearlessness of your paper in pub fishing communications upon public questions, desire to call your atten- tion to the recent remarkable action of the District Court in arbitrarily dismissing the case of the Territory against Jeffords. One reason for addressing you lies in the fact that suspicion rests upon me, as having received money in the settlement of the case. The man, without any provocation whatever, shot at me in my own house, the ball passing with in an inch of my head. He shot at me several times immediately after wards in a desperate attempt to take my life. He was arrested and in- dicted for assault to murder, and l felt sure that the laws of this coun- try would give an outraged commu- nity redress. I was mistaken, 1t seems, for without trial, and in mockery of justice, the criminal was let go. Not only myself, but all the people of Charleston, are indignant. I want the whole people of the county to know the facts. l was ready with many witnesses to prove the crime, and was informed by the District Attorney that he would tel egraph me when he was ready for the trial. Iwaited patiently, but he never telegraphed, and finally l was astonished to hear that the case was dismissed, without an effort to punish the man who tried to take my life. The District Attorney says the court ordered the discharge-that he did not ask it. 1 asked some of the grand jurors to investigate the mat ter, and they said they had no time that it was too late. So l present my case to the people, so that no dirt may be flung at me. The man is guilty, but he goes free, without a trial. The law must be wrong or the officers of the court ignorant or corrupt. I shall not be satisfied un. til justice is vindicated, and I shall lay all the facts before the next grand jury. l do not want the assertion that had settled the case to be be. lieved by my fellow citizens. The defendant told the District Attorney that I had settled the case, and upor his uncorroberated word he was lei go. ANTONIO FLEREs.

 EDITOR EPITAPH: Items of start ling nature are very scarce in Ben- son. Nothing, in fact, except now and then a drunken street fight, wherein no one gets hurt; hence your correspondents dearth of news, Las evening some of the "boys" got to shooting at the "stars," but as l am not in communication with those planets I can't say whether or not any body up there was killed.
 Benson now contains about 425 or 450 inhabitants, nine saloons, two butcher shops, two barber shops, one bakery, six stores, two good hotels, besides a number of restaurants and private boarding houses; four black smith shops, and mauy other smaller businesses, too numerous to mention
 The work Of building for the smelter commenced a few days ago The grade for the works are finished and a well is down about forty feet at this writing. The stack and blast furnace, when comple. ted, will be capable oi reducing forty tons of ore daily, and the company own two mines which they claim can supply double that amount. John D. Williams is the foreman and MT. White the superin. tendent. Several new buildings are going up, and Benson bids fair tc become quite town, as all the busi' ness men seem to have confidence in its future greatness, and are using their capital accordingly.
 The Democrats of Benson vii hold their primary election on the 10th, and promise to have a ful representation at the county conven ton on the 24th.
 Capt. Mike Grey has been visiting Benson during the past week.

TIE rapidity with which new

TRE rapidity with which new buildings are going up, and the num- Der of contracts let for the manufac. ture of building material evidence the energetic vitality existing in the people of Tombstone. Even imme- diately after the fire none were de- spondent, and in some instances plans were made for the erection of houses before the ruins had ceased smouldering. In two more months there will be hardly a vestige of the fire left, and Tombstone was never more prosperous than now. The employment of such a large number of men, and the ex' penditure of $250,0O0 or more, in surance money, gives a new inoen' tive to business. The money will be evenly circulated through all the channels of trade, and will act like an infusion of new blood into the corporate system. The fire has benefited labor in the fact that the idle men of, the oity are given em ployment. The contract for tht erection of new court house hal been let, and large force of mer will be absorbed in that direction Altogether, the consequences of th' fire are rather beneficial than other wise.

Bulls and Bears.

The etymology of the term "bear' is
believed to be this: When dealer in
stocks, or for that matter, in merchan-
disc, had sold more than he was capable
of delivering he was naturally bare OF
the article, and it was as naturally his
interest that prices should fall in order
that he should cover his engagements
and be no longer bare. From the adj
iective, the transition to the substantive
of the same sound (bear) was easy.
The growing bear being thus embodied,
his antitype, the bull, was not long max
ing an appearance. 1t is somewhat
curious to find in the popular mind a
virtuoIls creatures. This is sometimes d
fallacy. The bull is usually Spectator
who proposes to gain merely by market
fluctuations, and to fish in troubled
waters. The real investor, for instance,
awaits an opportunity to buy cheaply.
The cotton manufacturer who contracts
to sell cloth is in spirit a bear of yarn
and other materials, which he requires
to buy cheaply-that is, unless he has
already bought too much of such ma
terials, in which case he has over-trad-
ed. Some amount of speculation is no
doubt good, wholesome, and necessary
in bu siness. 1t is only when the one
party is much overpowered by the OPP
posing party that mischief results. For
wears past the bulls have had their owA
way in France, being able to borrow
N )aey with singular facility, until few
months ago, when the aspect of things
began to show signs of changing, and
this week the bears have been.para.

4 Nan Who Wanted to Be q Mason.

A jury de lunatico inquirendo was i'm
paueled in the Criminal Court yester-
day to examine into the case of Charles
Anderson, charged with persistent dis
orderly conduct in and about the Ma
sonic Temple. Messrs. Charles Kemp,
w. Fl. Nicholson, l.. A. Dorm, Drs.
Hoffman and Pennington, and Mr.. John
S. Tyson. Grand Master of Masons in
Maryland, We're severally examined.
Their evidence was to the effect that the
man first made his appearance about
the temple in April last and said that he
wanted to be made a Mason. He was
not, as far appearances went, exactly
the material out of which members of
the time -honored order are made, but
he WIS treated civilly and asked to pre-
sent his claims. In reply, he said If
they called themselves Freemasons,
the lodge was as free to him as any
body, and said that he would go in,
taking off his very dirty and ragged
coat. He was then forcibly removed.
He has ever since fairly haunted the
place. After turning him out dozen
or more times, early in January some of
the members had him arrested and taken
to the station-house, whence he was
sent to the city jail. DIR. Hoffman, ply
stefan to the jail, states that he had
carefully examined the man, and wa:
satisfied that he was under an insane,
delusion as to his right to enter the Ma
sonic lodges, and that he was proper
subject for an insane asylum, where he
might be benefited by proper treatment.
The man was then subjected to length.
ened examination by the jurymen, and
generally answered pointedly and often
pertly. To a question by the foreman,
IS Are you a crank?' he answered sau-

which he was charged. His case was
