 That Nova Scotia dude, Donald Robb, who at one time was on the staff of the Silver Belt, some times strikes the truth. In com munication of recent date to the New York Tribune, he concludes a we'll written epistle thusly: "The people of Arizona have sui ficlent reason to complain of the inefficiency of the troops, or more strictly speaking, the men who command them, and the proof that they are inefficient is in the fact that they do not protect the settlers.

 A writer in the Detroit Free Press says that General Grant believed, in 1876, that Tilden was fairly elected, and says: "Grant never had any sympathy with the movement to put Hayes in, al though he would have maintained order in Washington against any attempt in the direction of an- archy upon the part of the disap- pointed and outraged Democrats.
