The Charges Against Judge Hoover.
WASHINGTON, March 1Sth.-Philadelph
people are interested in the investigation that
has beed ordered of the charges of bribery
preferred against Judge Hoover, of the Su-
preme Court Of Arizona. The affidavit on
which the Investigation is directed hiss been
published. In brief Hoover is accused Of bor-
rowing 81 ,000from the Bank of California, that
Institution being the legal representative Of
Lord & Williams, the Tucson merchants and
bankers who failed while carrying out coz
tracts for furnishing quanty of wood
for fuel to the Southern Pacific
Railroad. The wood was cut from Govern
ment land, and it was claimed by the Gov
eminent that Hoover obtained his loan from
counsel for the Bank of California. and as
the case in controversy between the bank and
the Government has been postponed from
time to time, it's alleged that the loan was
bride. There is also another atidsvit, In
which Hoover is charged with having &c.
copied sum Of money, either as loan or
bride, from j. S. Clark, while the latter
was a lisigsns in his Court. The chief
| interest felt ia Philadelph is regarding the
charges is on account of the Tombstone Mill
and Mining Company, which is chiefly owned
and directed by Philadelphia capitalists. The
Tombstone mines are at Tombstone, Cochise
county. near Benson. They adjoin the mines
of the Way Up Mining Company, of which
J. s. CLARK is thu p icipal owne'. About
year ago, while Judge Stillweli was still upon
the bench in the First Judicial District, suit
! involving the ownership of a piece of ore
land valued at half a million dollars,
ia which the Tombstone g ompauy
was plaintiff and the Way Up
Company defendant, was tried before him,
and decided in favor of the latter. An sp
peal was made to the Supreme Court of the
| Territory for new trial. The motion was
placed upon the iist, and about two weeks
ago, after the affidavit making the principal
accusation against Hoover had become pub
lie, and while an agent of the Department of
Justice was travelling through the Territory
and California in an investigation of the case,
the motion came up for argument. Ex-Judge
Thomas Mitchell, formerly upon the
bench in Colorado, as counsel for the Tomb
| stone Compsny, asked that the argument
| might be postp oned. He maintained that
until the charges against the integrity of
| Justice Hoover had been investigated by the
Department of Justice, it would be indicate
| for him to sit in judgment over an argument,
particularly in case in which J. S. Clark,
ons OF the parties from whom ne was accused
of taking bride, was so largely Interested in
the decision of the Court. The Court decided
to hesr the Argument at once, and it was pro-
ceeded with The decision of the Court has
not yet been announced. The Ter
ritorial legislature at its session last
winter, detached from Judge Hoovef's
district the county of Cochiss. in which the
Tombstone and Way Up mines are located,
and added it TO Judge Pecneys district.
This action was taken upon the application
| of a number of property-owners of Tomb
stone, most Of whom had been engaged before
the suspended Justice in litigation with the
Tombstone Company, in which Clark is the
largest stockholder. Il is said that Hoover
treated the charge against him with contempt,
| and refused to answer the interrog atorie5 of
the agent of the Department of Justice.
Reduction of Revenues.
WASHINGTON, March 1Ssh.-The Treasury
estimates that the new tax and tariff Law will
reduce tbs revenues of the current fiscal year
$40, COO, coo to SIS. 100000. This, with the
demands under the appropriations immedi-
ately available, seems TO make it possible
to issue another call for bonds during the
current fiscal year.
Over-Payment OF congressman.
WASHINGTON, March 1Sth-The return to
the Treasury by Representative Flower, of
| New York, Of $500 said to be over-payment
on account of salary, is not generally under
stood. It was rot over-payment. according
| to the general construction of the law /; but
Flower chose to construs that the law means
that he is not entitled to pay when not absent
on leave or on account Of sickness. Ii some
other less conscientious members should fol-
| low the same rule, they would have to return
most of their salaries.
Regulatory LEGISLATION Probable.
| WASHINGTON, March 1Ssh.-Before Ger
many passed the prohibition law against
American pork, the State Department re.
quested that country to appoint Commits.
sion to inquire into the subject of the health.
| fulness of that article, as made here. No at
tention was paid to the request, and law
was passed affecting only the American
| T.. 6. L.
| held, at which it was concluded that it was
unfeiendly legislation. and there is little
doubt that the next Congress will be inclined
to indulge in retsliatory legislation. Our i'm
| ports from Germany are sufficient to make it
entirely fe lsible.
Fenian Fanatics.
| New YORK, March 1Sth.-There was
pile of letters and kilograms of congrstuls-
lions on table in the Office Of the United
| Irishmen to-day and in O drawer q pile of
gold, silver and greenbscks -sinews of war.
"Our success is bringing in new funds from
new men, said Pat Joyce, Secretary of the
Fenian Brotherhood. :" Men who believe we
are right are more plentiful than people sus
pected. But they thought we could do MOTH
| ing. We accomplished more in a few weeks
than has been done before in many years
With new help our success will be great on
an increasing ratio"
at is said by your Irish opponents
| that this style Of warfare works both
ways. When the British are frightened
they take vengeance by dischargiug all Irish
employees living in England, and that the
suffering brought to that class of people out
weighs the damage done to England" said
| the reporter.
"That is a storyas old as the Irish sgita-
ton. When have Englishmen hired Irish
help, only when from hope OF gain? When
have they not been aware that Irishmen
hoped for Irish liberty, and would fight for it
when opportunity offered p
mo more servants are discharged one year
| than another" said smother Irishman. 1--WE
will destroy the London waterworks. It will
bring distress to 100, 600 Irish people in Lon.
dor, and bring relief to 100000 Irish peo-
pie in Ireland
