WITH this issue my connection with the CITIZEN ceases. For nearly two years l have been connected with the paper, and have formed many ties of friendship with it and its patrons that will remain unbroken SO long as life lasts. There have been pleasures and disappOintments all along the line. No journalist can expect to please every one, and during this time I may have made enemies as a journalist, but I hope not as a man. What have said has been, as I conceived it, for the interest and welfare of the town, county and Terri tory in a material sense; politically, have only done my duty as partisan. Tucson Is a little slow just now, but I firmly believe that it will be a great commercial city some day, and the near future may give it start on the high road to prosperity. While I retire from the newspaper business, do not quit the city. l believe there is bright future for 1t and l am anxious to see it and help to enjoy it with the rest. have taken great interest and pride in the CITIZEN. It is pioneer and 1t should receive the warm support of all the people. Let me say to the msr- chants and business men generally-b be more liberal with your patronage to- wards the newspapers. They have been a power in your interests in the past and will be ia the future. They deserve your kindest consideration.

 IS connection with the above an- nouneement it Is only necessary to state that tine CITIZEN will, in the future as in the past, continue its labors for the advancement of all legitimate local interests and the general welfare of the Territory of Arizona. It is the desire of the management to make it an &C., ceptsble newspaper ID the literal sense of the term, and to that end no efforts or expense will be spared to give its readers the fullest possible volume of news in the limited space afforded. Its political complexion IS no wise affected by this change, and it will continue to conscieutiously espOuse the progressive cause of Republication.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The committee ap-

held in Chicago to prepare memorial to Con-
gress setting forth the damage to stock interests
by reason of contagious diseases which exist to
a limited extent in this country, and suggest
legislation best calculated to protect the cattle

Sabin, Texas Senator Miller, addressing the
committee said the trouble heretofore in secur-
ing legislation on the subject was because there
had been no concerted action on the part of the
States. He expressed the opinion that the SEN
ate was ready and willing to pass any measure
to meet the approval of the country. The bill
failed to pass the last Congress because, unfortu-
nately, it was not thoroughly explained when in
troduced.
Mr.. Hatch, chairman of the House committee
on agriculture said that no bill would be adopted
by the committee while he is chairman which
proposes the reference of diseases among cattle
to any branch of the Government except the De
partment Of Agriculture. He was of the opinion
that within the next twenty days the committee
would report a bill to the House, and he believed
it would pass with a large majority, as did the
bills on the same subject which passed the last
Congress

FITZ JOHN PORTER.

The Advocates of the Measure to Restore
Him to the Army.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The bill for the re-
lief of Fitz John Porter will be taken up in the
House at an early day, and the indications point
to a protracted and interesting discussion.
General Rosecraas has made careful study of
the field of operations, not only with all the
official maps and reports but has personally
gone over the field for the purpose of reach
ing intelligent and conscientious conclusions
touching the merits of this controversy After
careful study, General Rosecrans has reached
the conclusion that Poster was unjustly treated
and he will, therefore, advocate the passage of
the bill restoring Porter to the army, and
placing him on the retired list with the rank
of colonel.
General Slocum will also advocate the pass
age of the bill.
Colonel Steele, of Indiana, is preparing re-
port for the minority of the committee on mill
tary affairs, and will oppose the bill The general
belief is that the bill will be passed by the

Refusal of Speaker Carlisle to Appoint Him
Regent of the Smithsonian Institution.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-The fact that Mr.
Cox, of New York, was recently superseded by
Speaker Carlisle as regent of the Smithsonian
Institution, has given offense to that gentleman.
and he is causing considerable comment among
members Of the House. Mr.. Cox has been
regent of the institution since 1858, and has
always manifested great interest in its progress.
He was a member of the board of regents, with
Stephen A Douglas, and upon the death of that
statesman was selected to deliver the eulogy
ON his life and services. Mr.. Cox was,
also, the orator selected by the board
of regents to deliver the eulogy
on the life and services of the late Prof. Henry
His reappointment at this time was re
quested by Prof. Baird, president of the insti-
tuition. At the beginning of each session of
Congress the Speaker appoints three members
of the Board of Regents, and Speaker Carlisle
appointed Messrs. Singleton Of Mississippi Will
son of West Virginia, and Phelps of New
Jersey, the two latter being new members of the
House. The refusal of the Speaker to reap
point Mr.. Cox, in view of his long and valuable
service on the Board of Regents is attributed, by
friends of Mr. Cox, to settled purpose on the
part of the Speaker to punish that gentleman
for his attitude in the contest for the Speaker
ship Prof. Baird and other prominent officers
of the Smithsonian Institution express great re
gret over the loss of Mr.. Cox as member of
their board

the loss of another $780, 600. 1t was known
for some time that the firm was in difficulties,
but it was believed it could tide over.
The assignment is made for benefit of creditors.
Asa Wormser is the assignee. When the failure
was announced it was stated the liabilities We're
