LIVELY TIMES.

Wholesale Arrrst OT Omeials and Others.
 When the grand jury went into court thIs afternoon t. make their final report 1t was disclosed that they had found ir- dictments against nineteen persons. The indictments were not read but Judge Fitzgerald directed the clerk to Issue bench warrants for all the parties The sherifi's office was soon provided with a bundle of warrants. It was not long until the accused began swarming into the court room and at last accounts eleven had been brought in and Ilaced under bond. Up to the hour of going to press the following gentlemen have been placed under arrest and required to give bond Chas. R Drake, Vim. A. Scott, Jr., J \. Mason, school trustees; A. D. Otis. VI. c. Samanieg go. supervis- ors and J. II. To2le and W. c. Davis, ex- members Of the board of supervisors; J. 5. Wool, probate judge.
 All these officials are charged with malteasancs in office and Mir. Otis is charged ou four courts ani NIT. Sama- niego three courts. Wm. ShOldener and George Pusch,. butchers, were arrested ou charges of maintaining nuisance in keeping slaughter houses within the limits of the city. These parties were all required to give bail in the sum of Sjc0 each.
 John Murphy was also arrested on q charge of puriury and was required to give bail in the sum of S2,JOO.
 Court will be in session tonight till twelve o'clock. Judge Fitzgerald stated this afternoon that on his return from Florence he would hold a special term for the trial of the cases against the city and county officials.

THE gentlemen who were indicted by the special grand jury, with three or four exceptions, have been county and citv officials. Malfeasance and wllful neglect of official duty are the charges. There has been DO stealing of funds, nor fraud. These gentlemen with one or two exceptions have stood Tn this community. and in the territory high III social and financial circles. They are among our most respected citizens, and no matter how lightly they take 1t, or how nearly the report Is being made a burlesaue by the community, It IS severe blow upon these people, and If the grounds are not well taken and can be substantiated, it is a shame and dis grace. Such wholesale indictment as tbls, from among the best citizens, IS something scarcely ever heard ot be- fore The community Is divided m their opinion. There are those who, of course. are with the grand jury and they say now we have started the ball we want you people to keep it rolling until they all are rooted out and their power

 There IS disposition or a feeling that
 one portion of the community or the I other must be downed. There are others.
 large number, who pronounce the
 proceedings of the grand jury disgrace
 tul and contend that that t.erc is noth-
 ing in the records to justify any
 such proceedings. Ina: the indictments
 were strained and brought about by
 envy and jealousy; one set anxious to
 oust and put down the other set. Or in
 other words the ''onts" want to get ''iu'
 aud took this method to accomplish
 their work. Judge Fitzgerald will re-
 turn from Florence in about two weeks
 when 1t Is thought the trials of these
 parties will come of. Of course it is ut
 the highest importance to the inter,s.
 of the community and the people,
 that when officials are charged
 with crime to bring it to an issue
 and have the matter decided us
 quickly as possible. There is one
 thing certain thas mems characters
 m this community are recklessly
 handled by designing people, and We
 have no hesitsncy in saying that We
 have no doubt but such appeared before
 the grand jury, but it is not our inten-
 ton to say anything upon this matter
 until there are more facts presented. i
 man Is said to be innocent until he Is
 proven guilty, and the least said in the
 newspapers just at this time, in our
 opinion the better. We could
 easily abuse the grand jurors and show
 very conclusiyely from one stand pomt
 that the whole thing was a put up job,
 disgraceful m the extreme, aud from an-
 other We could show that there was a great deal more behind that had not
 been brought to light. Tue matter is
 not simply an accusation unauthor- ized, but a charge which is to
 be decided by the facts and the law, therefore We are of the opinion that the matter should not be discussed iu the newspapers until the law had been satisied, and perhaps not then. IT these men are guilty their disgrace need not be made any harder to bear than it will ! be; if innocent, the announcement and 1 the evidence which make them innocent | will recoil with terrible force upon their l accusers. We, in this community, are down to bedrock on all sides. and l though the storm has burst and things !. look gloomy, We believe there I5 ten 1. times the fuss made there Is any neces- ! sIty for. Some things that have been l done are cal -ulated to bring out a l more healthy state of affairs. That men and officers will be more careful in the of the routine Ot their indi- l v.dual and official duties. Is certainly to l be expected ia the future IL is a fearful l thing to be accused oi official crime, and | 1t should not be done except where there | Is good grounds for It; a stroke oi pen | may blast good character and break I the man down for ii.c + the grand | jury has had such eyidenc before if 's I c. iustify them ia .niiciiag these meH. | the grand iury osnuo, be 'o blame; if those who have tes,:iiei have doEe SO fai-eiy II viii come to tue surface on the | traL Many things will not bear the | 2 a,.' 70. d5t light tlat are born ID dark | n .e-

l. will be gratifying to tine people of Tucson to learn that Col Royal, the brave nnd gallant commander of the Fourth cavalry. who is considered one Of the best men in the service and the most energetic enemy of Indians and des- peradoes, IS to be located at Fort Lowell This post will be the headquarters Of the Fourth cavalry and while our people regret to par; with Gen. Carr and hls excellent staff. they have consolation ID the fact that so popular and true man as Col. Royall is to take the place.
 Col. R1yall while in command at Fort Wipga,e, New Mexico, by hls many genial qualities and devotion to the trusts imposed upon him in trying times won the sympathies and good will of the entire territory and his reception here will therefore be of @ most cordial nature.

New Orleans Exhibition.

This exhibition has far greater im- pOrtance than Is generally appreciated. l. IS really the celebration of the suc- cessful creation of a new South. Theu conditions of labor and industry, which have been adjusting themselves during nineteen years Of peace, are just begin ming to be felt, but not only in the South. but in the country at large. The proble ms entering into southern develop nent are no longer political. Industrial and socal questions are now the domin- ant ones. The friendly rivalry as to which community shall make the most rapid and certain advanvance in busi- ness development IS now quite as ap- parent in the South as in the North Philadelphia Times.

A FEW days ago We published dis patch saying there was yellow fever at Guaymas. The following day 1t was denied. Letters from Hermosillo and Guaymas published in the Fl Fronterizo Of this city say that yellow fever IS Tn Hermosillo and Guaymas but in a very mild form; that two persons have died at Hermosillo. one Of whom came from Guaymss. The Hermosillo letter says the health officer and prefect ct that place are suppressins the facts, and the Guaymas letter says that the prefect at Guaymas has proclaimed that he will fine or imprison any one who may say 1r believe there is yellow fever in Quay may. The letter says this prefect IS the man who ran away from the yellow fever last year; however, we presume there is no doubt of the existence Of yellow fever in these places, but as yet it has not become an epidemic.

In Memory Of Little Charlie MeCOmas.

TUCsoS, June :, 1881. EDITOR CITIZEN: Permit me to hand to you for publication, a versifed narra- tive of an atrocious deed of blood, en- acted about a year ago in our sister ter ritory; when, at which time and place, father, mother. and son. were immolated upon the altar of sentimental philsn- throphy, D. rowing bard of Apache sayages; and after the father and mother were slain. the child was by the savages carried to their haunt in the Sierra Ma dre mountains; to which place our gov erumsnt promptly sent an armed expe- ditiJn, but the child was not recovered, nor were the murderers of his parents brought tO justice. Since which time, the child Is supposed to have wandered ......s Gem rfl- e..ol1 Ot tho eUNdSes, and dIed of wpus in ,1C of the canyons of those rugged hills. In the construction of the heretofore mentioned narrative, the writer adhered to the reported facts as they were gwen to the public by the press, and his purpose was not to cast aspersions upon our nations honor, nor to censure anyone of dIreiictlOn of duty. But simply to offer a tribute t0 the memory Of worthy gentlemen-and his family, who were most cruelty dealt with-from whom the writer on one oc- casion received kindness for which he will ever hold the memory of the de- ceased in grateful remembrance.

 EDrIoR IzEN:-The Rio Grande is cl a big boom, the delay to trains being iu most instances from overflow and not vsshouts; at Rinccn the cars run up to their axles part of the way, and the track is considered safe enough to pass slowly over. Below it is said to be bad ly oyertiowed and washed out and will not be run over again for some time. at ttis place there Is no trouble; there IS a fine iron bridge just being finished here; It IS handsome piece of work. Beyond here the track Is badly under wi CT. 2 o'clock last night we were turned ous O. our births in Ly sleepe~s ard placed oa flat cars, bag and baggage, run up the track two miles with water as far as We could see either sidel and after keeping us there until ? a. m., brought us back and We turned Tn for the re- malnder of the night.
 This morning they broke our train and sent half of 1t back to Deming for local benefit, and to have cars to bring more east. We may get through some time to-day, as last night we got in sight of the headlight of the other train, though there are said to be some bad breaks between 1t and Socorro. This town Is all under water. To get about they have tO use boats or make high grade walks. The eating station here is ex- ceedingly good and the charge only fifty cents a meal. Yesterday We had one party gunning after another and one fist fight, to say nothing of several dog fights. The only place that Is out of water Is the car track in front of the depot. IL IS said to be ten years since the river was near its present heIght, and 1t Is not expected to fall until the snow Is well melted.
 The railroad k raising its tracks, and | presume after week or ten days will run on time, though before that trains will get through. High water takes up all the time and attention. You do not even hear the convention alluded tO.
 A poor tramp who had been stealing ride on the cross beam of the brake, in trying tO get out at RincCn had his foot run over SO that it had to be cut off wheu he got here. l.. W.
