Logan VI. Porter.

Amv,fg all thsS old - and honored adages that have reached down to our times, none has greater truth, or is more frequently illustrated than the one which says, "When rogues fall out, honest men get their dues" The most recent case is that which this hea ding covers, though the latter DOT ton of the saying is notyet completed. It will be. Logan's speech in the Senate on the 29th ult. was an ar raignment, before the bar of public opinion, of Generals Grant, Getty and Terry, the last two of whom were members of the Schofeld Board which vindicated Porter. He asserts that they were not actuated by any honest or manly motive: that no sense of jus tice, no tardy desire to right a wrong moved them; but a selfish, sordid am- bition to advance themselves,--to win promotion and higher pay. Senator Logan, in this matter, appears to have the courage of his convictions. It must be acknowledged that he is con- sistent, though it is just as evident that his enmity for Porter has degen- erated into bitter persecution. The action of Grant is unfavorably and severely criticised by Logan, and can not, in our opinion be attributed to any honest desire on the part of the former to remove the disabilities from Porter. It is incredible that, having access to all the data, and an intimate history of the affair, acquired through his position and contact with the times, he should take twenty years to make up his mind-7to see no harm, where before he theaght all "~s s,.,.sas- Grants eleventh hour repentance is as gross a travestie of justice as the de- cision of Getty and Terry, and the un- fair animosity of General Logan.

An Indian Romance.

With the exception of the Abysin- ians, whose divorce law consists of the man taking his wife out in the face of the assembled tribe, and saying, "Woman, thee divorce;" the Apache Indian has the simplest form,-there is simply an application for a separa- tion, to the officer in charge, a division (sometimes) of the children and the ollas, sand that is all. The causes for which divorces are asked cover the whole gamut from infdelity to ''no likeum." Recently, at San Carlos, a squaw wanted her freedom from matri- monial obligations because her hus- band had taken unto himself another woman. There would have been no difficulty if the buck had not been troubled with an attack of parental affection, and a desire to have the two pledges of their mutual love placed in his keeping. The squaw wanted to retain them, because she thought a strange woman might mould their young lives ignObly.
 These asterisks are supposed to rep. resent the lapse of time. Negotia. tions were held. The trouble of En. glands Heafyswith the lady of Ara gon, George with Caroline, Napoleon with Josephine, Theodore Triton witl Elizabeth, and Mir. Pigeon with Mrs
 Labouchere were trivial in compari, son. The negotiations bade fair tc lengthen themselves out like those al Aix la Chapelle, Geneva or Berlin
 Day after day hope and despair alter mated in the hearts of the anxious par ents. At one time it palpitated be-
 meath the ree-months-since-it-was
 washed bodice of the mother, and anon above the g-string of the paterna
 progenitor. Every one knows how fond an Indian is of his pony. The squaw was diplomat-she offered thu ponies with which when there "wa' nothing half so sweet as loves young dream,' her dusky admirer had bought her, and got back her children. Theil lives have grown asunder-the winds will sing their songs through the cot
 tonwoods on the Gila; the birds vii
 chirp love songs on the cactus tops
 the water of the San Carlos will "rur on forever" unless the Indians use il for bathing; boys will croon love dit
 ties and maiden will simper; Agents will come and go as of yore, ant freight wagons and government sup plies become recognized currency or the reservation, but never will tn, same wickieup shelter them, the same pack-saddle be their pillow, or tn, same ponies be their common property

Justice, New York anti-monopoly

Justice, a New York anti-monopoly journal, comes to us in mourning Why? Has the party which has no brains in its founders, no honesty in it's intentions and no representative, despite its straining after victory, in the national councils, died of inani- tion? Do the men who have fulmin- ated the anti-monopoly doctrine rec ognize the fact that national policies cannot we'll be looked at from a gro- cery-store point of view? Ask them what a monopoly is, and they will tell you ''it is an aggregation of capital for the purpose of controlling cer- tain interest" Ask them how that interest could have been created, else, and they cannot answer. What can individual action do It may origin ate, but it cannot build; it may sug. gest ideas, but cannot crystalize them into accomplished facts.

The Yuma Sentinel calls the atten- ton of the legislature, now in session, to the crowded condition of the peni- tentiary, and breaches it's biennial ser mon, preparatory to asking for the customary benediction-an appropri- ation. We recognize the necessity for keeping the dangerous classes under control, and we admit that in a from tier country the percentage of crimi- inals must necessarily be large; but the past history of the management of our prison, the heavy appropriations already made, and the heavy burden of taxation under which our people now groan make appropriations involv- ing the faith and credit of the terri tory only possible and proper where the necessity is so imperative that it cannot be gainsayed.

A Jury of his Peers.

Commissioner Price, has issued a new code for the administration of justice on the Indian Reservations. Commissioner Price is an American King John, without that gentleman's tardiness. He does not need the pres ence of a lot of clamorous Indian barons to make him sign a magma charta, he does it involuntarily. He will not be as generous as his ancient pattern; he will only give three
 jurors, while John gave twelve. Com missioner Price may not have heard of King John, and if so cannot be ac- cused of plagiarising him, but he cer- tainly has heard of Agent Tiffany, and knows that that gentleman, two years ago, adopted this same system of try ing Indian offenders, and continued to do it with much success, till the close of his connection with the San Carlos Agency. Commissioner Price will have a new illustration of the fact that "there is nothing new under the sum- '

CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR BELr:-The only thing that I have to offer the BELT, as a New Years gift is few notes from differ ent parts of our young but most pros- porous county, which I hope will be acceptable to you, and also prove in- teresting to your readers.
 From a recent visit to the East Yer de, I learned some facts regarding the northwestern portion of Gila County, which are not only of material inter- est to that section, but also to Globe, which is the geographical base of sup plies to that part of the county. l find that the road leading to that sec- tion can, by small expense to the county, be greatly improved and short- ened-to which fact beg leave to re- spectfully call the attention of our present Board of Supervisors--at an outlay of five or six hundred dollars. The road to Mir. Danforth's ranch, on Salt river, can be shortened from elev- en to twelve miles and the deep sand on the present travelled road avoided by following the old Indian trail through low pass about two miles south of Stanton, direct to Salt river. The cost to the county to build this road, as suggested, would be mere nothing as compared with the Vase and increasing trade &am that sectloi' which ldths~cSme to Globe. At .r----&oes to Phoenix and Me- Dowell. Thisaact IS of no small inn portance to the business men of Globe, who should make an effort to secure this trade. Everywhere I went there was to be seen the cheerful faces of hardy prospectors and ranchers, mines in operation and cattle and horses grazing on a thousand hills; great change from few years ago when there was nothing of life to be seen, except an occasional coyote or jack rabbit. Now all is energy and enter prise and the Tonto will ere long be- come one of the wealthiest and most important sections of Arizona.
 The ten stamp mill on the Verde is completed under the direction of Su- perintendent w. w. Jones, who un- derstands perfectly the methods of treating gold ores, of which he has a large amount at the mill, from the McGowan mine. With conveniences for working such as they have the ore can be worked for two dollars per ton. As the average yield is ten dol lars, they will realize large profits above expenses.
 The Excursion company were for tunate in securing the services of such an experienced man as Dr. Jones and I predict for them success. Wishing the BELT happy and prosperous New Year, I will close. More anon.

In 1880, the census year, the average earnings of workmen in the iron and steel industries amounted to $375 a a year for each workman, or $1 25 a day. Wages are much higher in the unprotected industries, and yet the protectionists say that the protected American workmen get the highest wages of any workmen in the world.

Another Republican in Trouble.

The Sherman family are in hard luck. Tecumseh has to leave the army, John can't be President of the United States, niece has "gone to the bad," and nephew has been indicted in New Mexico for raising vouchers and misappropriating government bonds. The fall from grace of the latter is at tended with concomitants discredita- ble alike to his connections and the government in whose employ he was. When tho charges were presented against him, Senator Sherman and Don Cameron who is also relative-a brother-in-law---were successful in in- fuencing the Attorney-General to dis continue the case. What a position for the first legal officer of the country to be placed ina compounder of a felony. What words can be found, strong enough to stigmatise properly such miscarriage of justice Of all the evils thaLhaye grown out of party politics, the pershnal influence of lead CTS, misapplied, is the worst. It foists pensioners upon the people, like this Sherman and Frank Blair were, makes justice misnomer, puts unprincipled cormorants to batten on the public treasury, puts public honor under the ban and loosens the faith of the people ! in, and attachment to Republican in- BstitutinNs.

Politically our little kingdom has gone from

portfolio under his arm. He was originally
premier and minister of foreign relations but
when, { " weeks ago, the attorney general
resigned rather than carry on, his de
signs, Gibson constituted himself attorney
general, with deputy TO do the work
This last week he oustcd the half.white min
istcr OF the interior, and offered the position to
eight different individuals, who succcssivcly
refused it, and he finally found tha, the only
way out ol the dilemma was to appoint him
self minister OF the interior pro TEN. As the
minister OF finance has been prevented by i'll.

find, therefore, in Gibson, practically the
whole cabinet. The nation feels as proud of
him as did the old hen OF the snake she
hatched out.

And played about his nose,

And this the song he sang;

The tides recede whenever sueezc;

And Uncle sam says it isn't his mutton;

Inert rcspectability is often quite as
bad as downright knavcry. Each is a
prime factor of misgovcrnment and it
is often an open question which is the
more dangerous If ones eyes have
been opened TO the rascality OF public

past record, and the proof positive that
the official is walking in his own foot
steps, one knows then what to expect.
But when one is wounded in the house
of ones friend, when reputable con-
seryatism gives its cloak to dsreputable
