AT last the celebrated wood case 9 has been decided, that Is, the right of possession. The California Bank, of San Francisco, claimed the wood, said to have purchased the same from Lord & Williams. The government claimed the wood on the grounds that it had been cut unlawfully from government lands. By certain movement executed by United States Deputy Marshal Evans the government got possession and the California bank commenced suit. The case was decided, by jury last evening in favor of the defendant. The case was entitled Thompson vs. Drake. There is quite joke connected with the jury in this case. After they had retired, the lawyers having succeeded in so mud ding the minds of some of the jurors that number of them didn't know winch was the defendant, ,and after taking a vote or two and talking over the mat ter returned to the court to find out who the defendant was.

Reckless Cats.

With reference to the cats at Victoria StanOn 1 beg to state that there are cats all over the District railway, both iu and ont of the tunnels, and many of them-familiarly called "Stumpy" by the men oI the liue-cau testify by the shortness of their tails to the hair breadth escapes they have had from passing trains. Those I have seen are mostly full-grOwn cats, and only once have I seen a kitten walking Cn the rails, and that was at night when the traffic had ceased At one signal box. which Is built On a platform over the line and the only access to which Is by a steep iron ladder, down which no cat can climb, there are two full-grown tab bies-toms. believe-and 1 have often seen them asleep behind the signal bell or even on the handrail of the platform, utterly callOus to the trains rushing by underneath Nature.

TOMBSTONE IS taking her revenge out of Tucson by abusing the town. blaming all these shortcomings upon poor old Tucson. Well, the town is somewhat advanced in years and has stood a good many 'rackets." but mark our words, she will stand this one and come out strong and help all the little towns around and about on their feet again. Among many other virtures and curses, there are more -high kickers" here on general principles to the square foot than any town on the Continent.

AFTER so long time the House Con- mittee on elections have made a report in favor of General Chalmers in the contested election case of Chalmers and Manning. Manning has had the inside track sn along, but the fraud was so pslpably glaring that some of the Dem ocrats could not hold out any longer. Seventeen hundred votes with Chalmers name spelled wrong were thrown out when counted. The Manning people attempted to beat Chalmers at his old game, one Chalmers practiced upon the Repub- hcsns four years ago.

DALEY vs. TEE PRESS OF TUCSON.

TUcsoS, A. T., May 2s, 1884.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: A meeting of the creditors of Hudson & Go. will be held tonight at No. IA Camp street, com mencing at eight o'clock, to which all who are interested in the appointment Of a receiver are requested to be pres ent
 In thls connection I desire to state that ninety of the creditors of the Tue son bank have joined ID petitioning the court for the appointment of a receiver, embracing a considerable number of business men Ot this city, us we'll as many others who have been left desti- tute by reason of this unmerciiul and shameful failure.
 Notwithstanding the too patent en- deavor to gloss over this unblushing monster of obtaining money on false pre- lenses, and the belittliny of the hun dreds of suffering men and women who have toiled in the blistering suns Ot Arizona, and endured all the hRrdships of frontier life to provide against fu- ture want, the fact stands forth in bold relief that a misplaced confidence in the Integrity and stability of the banking house of Hudson X Go. has cast shadow oi suffering and despondency over many a household, and left stranded many 6 toller for home and fortune.
 Permit me to say that nothing IS gaiued b smothering the truth in this matter, and although 1t may take much courage to do right, as yon once ex' pr ssed lt to me, 1 venture to say that the newspaper that fearlessly espouses the right, and befriends the innocent, as against the wrong and the few guilty oi high offenses, will, in the long run, find that the favor and good will of the peo ple-the masses-far more profitable than the patronage of a few, though that few may be for .he time-being rid ing on the top wave of popular shoddy md pr-tendei sristocracy based on H., | gotten gains.

THE political situation in New York il
said to be characterized by a lull in
active work, all eyes being turned toward
Ohio. With the result of Tuesday known,
a new impetus will be given. and the sue
ceeding three weeks will probably wit
ness one of the livellest campaigns ever
known in the Empire state. There is
certainly little in the present outlook to
cause serious alarm for Republican sue
cess. Mr. Blaines recent trip through
the state brought out the fact very plainly
that he is immensely popular with the
masses. On the other hand, the work
ingmen are unpuestionably hostile to
Cleveland. They hate him for what he
has done in the past, fear him for what
he might do in the future, and finally,
will not vote for him. The Independent
movement has ceased to move, and will
probably be little felt during the remain.
der of the campaign. It is true that there
are still indications that some of the old
line stalwart Republicans are unfriendly
to Blaine, but they are limited, both in
numbers and influence. In any event,
they would never vote for Democrat
In fine, tie present outlook may be sum
med up in a word: The Republicans
with diligent and thorough work, have fa1
more than a fighting chance for success
