DE. GRIFFIN, of this city, q practicing physician, feels that he is being perse- cuted. Complaints were made before the late special grand jury agains. him on the ground that he was practicing medicine with ut possessing a diploma from medical college. Tho grand jury after considering the matter did not in- dict the doctor for uot having said di- ploma. Besides 6 French University diploma the doctor possesses a certIfi- cate from the medical board of Cali foruia that entitled him to practice in that state where he lived and prac:iced before coming here. This is the head and front of bis offending, so far ss We understand it To-day he was arrested for prscticing without said diploma and summoned to appear in Justice Meyers court to give good and sufficient reasons why he practices medicine in Tucson. The Legislature at its last session passed a law excluding all physicians praeticing in this Territory unless they were the happy possessors of medical college di- plomas. Dr. CrepIn has been in this city about year and has met with un- usual success. His practice has become large and his friends are warm in bis defense.

THE sore head furry in New York and Boston has about spent its force, and so far has done but little damage. Some Republicans, hot headed and upon the spur of the moment, fly into passion because they fail to get their man nomi- nateI, and swear dire vengeance upon the party, but upon consideration, after the smoke of the battle has cleared away, and just before damage is done, by designing Democrats who are in the role of Independents, get them commit ted to the Democratic party, fly the track and come back to the safe fold of the old party. Principle does it. A Re publican cannot be a Democrat long at a time. He may get mad and swear be will ot vote for that or this man, but he votes for him all the same, or at least does not vote for the other fellow. The sore-head element held a meeting in Boston few days ago for the purpose of smashing Blame into smithereens, but they did not smash worth cent. It was discovered that if there was an at tempt at forming new party it would drive the Independents hack into the Republican party upon principle, and so 1t will there or elsewhere.

ExPaANAToRY of a suggestive political cartoon, the Texas Siftings says: Just about this time the Democrats are to select another Presidential victim. Every four years since the war Uncle Sam has demanded victim in expia- tion of the sins of the Democracy in bringing on the war. The Democrats. however, are allowed the melancholy privilege of selecting the unfortunate man who is to be sacrificed for the sins oi tn party. On these sad occasions Mir. Hewitt superintends the selection of the doomed man, while Undertaken Dana enjoys the monopoly of putting the remains out of sight. The ghost of Mir rilden emerges from the tomb to offer himself as a substitute for the liv- ing victim"

 "Splendidll," said he; "there IS al Picacho station one hundred thous and pounds of freight for those mines, which IS being rapidly transported to the mines by Tweed's teams, and work s going ahead at a lively rate"

THE disaffecte1 malcontents who got
 mad because MT. Blaine was nominated
 at the Chicago convention are not mak-
 ing the Eeadway they expected. A few
 papers have deserted the ranks, and car riei small body of Republicans over to them. But this is in Boston and New York. No other place. The fact that it does not spread, shows how weak their effort is to do the Republican par ty damage. ThIs opposition Is sporadic and will be more than neutralized by the support Blame anu Logan will at trac. from the Democratic party. The Democrats can nominate no man who will be acceptable to the whole party, and will not create a greater division in their own ranks than has been or can be created in the Republican ranks. In ouJt it is safe to say with Blaine as the standard bearer, for every vote the party loses, it vii! gain two from the Democratic party. The sore heads and political dudes cannot in!ure Inc party to any alarming extent.

THE New York World undertakes to
 tell the Democratic party what kind of
 man 1t Is necessary to nominate at
 Chicago in order to beat Blaine. After
 numerating all the qualities required
 for this gigantic undertaking We look
 the field over and we defy the World to
 name man in its party who is the
 happy possessor of two out of three of
 all the requirements necessary. The
 paper says it would be folly to ignore
 the elements of strength that surround
 the Republican party. So it would, and
 it would be folly to ignore the elements
 of weakness that surround tine Demo- cratic party. To find such man as the World wants he would have 10 go into the Republican party like they did when they went after poor Greeley; but that | time has passed. The Tilden hope IS gone. Cleveland, of New York IS being | boomed BOW. but there are no clements | of strength in Cleveland and he don't | fill the bill. The World wants an awfully | nice mana saint of some kind It
 IS a little strange to see the Democratic
 party prostrating itself before these
 strange gods for certainly they never
 have attempted the role of saintship
 before. They are trying 10 make theIr
 brethern believe that Blaine and Logan
 are bold, bad men and the leaders of the
 worst elements in this country. The
 Democratic party has never denied owning, body and soul, that class of men and why should they shift them off at fhls time, and assume the role of I saintship and cry aloud for some one to , save them, If 1t was not Tn sheer des- I peration and lost hope. They are mek- ing an appeal to what they are pleased ! to call the better class of people in the Republican party, because Blame and
 Logan have struck hard blows for the poor men of the country, and Blaine has s showed his teeth to foreign powers. The T Norid IS afraid of losing the Irish vote a she greatest element of strength in the | Democratic party. That its fears will b be realized to great extent we are i. sstlsted, but the ignorant Irish vote
 will continue to vote the Democratic a ticket without reservation, early and I often. S

A GENTLEMAN who returned from
 Tucson last night informed an Epitaph reporter that Governor Stafford, NJ. B. Clapp and Charles Hudson were all there and that there was some talk of resumption. From another source 1t was learDed that they were protected by
 armed guards, among the number
 being Ben. Titus, formerly watchman of the bank here. There is said 10 be a terribly bitter feeling ID Tucson against SSss PBPe nSsta tAs 2id y l9stIttBBstglofR6 tIttBBsg fR6 be unfounded.-TOmbstone Epitaph.
 The sources of information upon which the Epitaph bases the above paragraph is totally unreliable. These gentlemen were here during the past week, but there was no talk of resumption. They could not resume if they so desired. While the feeling has been intense over the failure of the bank, better judgment has prevailed and matters are taking their natural course. There is DO fear of bl0o1shed; there has been no threat from any responsible source, nor will there be. Bloodshed would only make matters worse. We can assure the Epitaph that the rumors they have fallen foul of are entirely unfounded. Tue son has got back into her old channel, and is moving right along recovering and gaining ground every day. In less than three months the old pueblo will | astonish the natives with its prosperity, | notwithstanding all the evil things that | our neighbo:s have sad agaInst us.
