LoRDsBURG. \. NJ, May PA man, supposed to be J. Nichols, was found murdered in the Pyramid Mountains, F miles east of here thIs morning. The body was in an advanced stage of de- composition and could only be identified by papers in his pockets. His asssssins had evidently attempted to hang him, but the rope being too weak they took the shorter method and shot him twice, once in the left eye and once in the left side. A piece of rope was found around his neck, his hands were bound and the rope from bis hands run to the limb of Q tree directly above tie body.
 TOMBSTONE. May 12.-The town is quiet but the guard is still maintained at the bank of Hudson < Co. This morning a committee of the grand Jury and Mir. J. r. Eecleston, .eller of the bank, began making an inventory. No statement will be arrived at before night. A wit Less before the grand jury tbis morning testified to having seen M- B. Clapp, cashier, leaving the bank at six o'clock, or three and half hours before the suspension, with valise in hIs hand. The general impression is that but little money will be found Tn the vaults. The statement in the Tucson Star that the SlineTs' Union contemplated firing the town, etc, is maliciously false. Upon the contrary the President of the Union waited on Mayor Carr aud notified Linn it guards were needed for any purpose the Uuion would furnish them free of charge.
 The result of the ballot of the Demo cratic Territorial convention sn- nouncing seven votes for Hughes of the Tucson Star for delegate to the national convention, making tie with Oury and Meade, was received here with surprise, by the Democracy, who threaten to bolt the party if Hughes is sent to Chicago. They claim he never was a Democrat until he arrived in Arizona and only now from policy. Any man or set Of men upholding him will ge, the political black eye ir this county If put up for suffrage.
 LATER-The statement that Clapp lei; the bank at a. m. is incorrect.
