of alliance with the "San Carlos .Tiffa- any-Ring." The true facts will un- doubtedly soon be brought to the light; but the action was severely cen- sured by the Tucson bar, as will be seen from the following digest of their proceedings:
 At 8 o'clock p. III. of Saturday a meeting of members of the bar was held at the court house in Tucson.
 A resolution was passed that com mittee of three be appointed by the chair to procure certified copies of the indictments and proceedings therein in the cases of the United States vs. J. c. Tiffany ct al, in connection with the San Carlos Agency, and to receive such additional evidence, if any, as they may in their discretion deem necessary, to be forwarded to the De- partment of Justice and President of the United States. The chairman ap- pointed Messrs. Campbell, Hereford and Ferguson the committee under the resolution. The meeting adjourned to Monday evening, March 19.
 At the meeting held on Monday evening, United Stafes Marshal Tid- ball>and United States Attorney Za- briskie were present by invitation. After some remarks by Judge Camp bell, Col. Zabriskie was called upon. He stated that the first intimation he had was dispatch received from the attorney general on the evening of the 10th, which he read to the meeting, and in answer to the question as to whether he had suggested as to a judge to fill the place, stated that in answer to the attorney generals dis patch he recommended that Judge French be requested to hold the term. Judge Hoover and MT. Satterwite were then sent for, and as soon as they made their appearance Marshal Tid- ball made a statement of what he knew, and that he had been called up on by MT. Perry, of the Department of Justice. Judge Hoover denied that he had in any way either directly or indirectly endeavored to shield or as- sist the defendants in the Tiffauy-San Carlos indictments and claimed that he had endeavored to protect the inter. ests of the government The proprie. tor of the Tucson Star was asked to state what grounds he had for making the editorial on the Washington dis patch. He replied several days pre-. vious he had been informed on what he believed good authority that Judge Hoover and Tiffany had frequently been seen together and that they had been seen entering the law office o1 Tiffany's attorney, and that he had learned that the court in proceedings had on the indictments, appeared to be ,fayoring the defendants. These | facts taken in connection with rumors and the Washington dispatch was the cause of his comments. Although from what he had since learned, he believed that his informant, who was absent from the city, might be mis taken as to the identity of Mir. Tiffany
 We give herewith the report of the Secretary of the meeting in full:
