Letter lrssa Capt. Ilssay.
Minsnai Park, July 18th 1855.
Editor MoHAyH MMxR:
For the last three lnouths
you have frequently referred TO the Acts Of
the 18th Legislature, the County Court Act
IN particular. There are three aets that
most directly aGscs and materially injurs
and will evsntusliy banksupt the county
i refer 70 the cots ereatiDR County Court,
She ast funding the County debt aud the
ses fixing salary for 0fhcers. These three
sets are likely TO cost the county from one
10 two hundred thorsaad dollars within the
two years and not beneft the county in the
least.
II there rs any polrticai signi66anoa oon-
nssssd with this matter IL may bs called q
regular democratic racket, and that party
should have the fail credit Of IL. Messrs.
Howell and linus, who represented rs, or
rather Themselves and two or three mem.
bsrs of tho Court House ring, have always
claimed 10 he old line dem ocrats. II is pos.
sib,e. as Afr. Howell had not resided In this
county but short time, that he may have
been iniiusnced by letters from his oonstit-
uonts, II 50. IL might be well TO call for the
correspondence.
But two men went to Prescott IA l0bbyists
from this county, Messrs. Murphy and
Bucksbaum, and both Of these genss are
Ans haired demoorati. Mr.. Henkle wrot0
my ideas of register Law and it was print
sa ss length In an open letter addressed TO
sAe Legislature. He may also have adyis-
81 our Representatives. being another fine
haired democrat. II thia is all tho advics
they had then II was surely genuine DEM
oerasic racket. The county was ruined
without It's knswledcs or consent. TO get
cat of debt, or keep up a county orsaniza.
tion, will nscoasitate a heavy tax for years
10 COMO, even II the hsws referred 10 are re.
psaied at the next session Of tho Legisia-
ture.
However much the taxpayers generally
may complain the railroad company and
the stock men certainly nave no right to
kick. BY referring 10 the returns IL will be
seon that the railroad company or their
employees carried the election. It was the
Transient vote along the railroad that
elected Howell, also atsen and Buoksbaum.
linus is q cowboy and was elected BY the
stosknsn, who represent about one fosrth
Of the taxable properly Of The eosaty, con.
sequsutiy vhAs kicking they have 10 do
shsuld bs directed At him. Bat still be ID
not 10 blame after all % much ~ thoss who
were behind him. II he did introduos tbs
bills II ID weil known fact that hs could
not frame . bill II he wanted 10. Il II
changed and Il 10 quite certain that Mr..
Marphy, the eminent b,bbyist. did wnts ths
bills In QUESTION and lobby them through,
bot this does not change the political status
of the basinass as Mr.. Murphy wears ths
finest hsad Of hair Of anysdemocrnt in Ariz.
ona. The Thirtesnth Legislature created
foar nsw oflsees for this county, bot tbe
mugvnmp Governor g,sys three ont of the
four 70 simon pure dspsoorxts. On, Lord!
when viii tho rasoAls be turned ont?
II the railroad was assessed at $4,000
per mile, tho amount tliey paid in cash for
The road lying betweaa the Needles and
Msjave without rolling stock, II would
holp % out. Why notr II tho railroad
compspy insists on carrying our elections
they Aould stand By the result. s
For twenty years past IL has cost tins
county Of Msshave frosa twelve to fifteen
th0nand dollars . year 10 ran the county,
and now, whsn the population Of the coun-
ty ID reduced to about ona thousand, II Ia
notaing but democratic folly 70 try to
carry ont tbs wishes Of that party, or more
properly Of the ring which controis II.
For twenty years. and In fact from the
frat orpanization Of the Territory, We have
had federal officials, appointed by repsbi-
can Presidents and confirmed by republi.
can Senates, who have invariably given
more than one-half of their patronage to
democrats. Little Governor Stafford stated
In the frst republican oonvsnticn that a.
Governor be had favored democrats. but
after events showed that they did not ap.
p1soiats the favor. They mover do appreci'
ate sush favors and they never win, though
they show remarkable gt'od sense in taking
everything they can got.
A dsmocsat will soon DO appointed Gov.
srnoT Of Arizona, and ", may expect that
other on % will be file<i by sound demo
ssats. viii these democrats favor the re-
pubiioaas or even muawump with ofaesi
Not mush! Thsy viii turn the rascals oui
and kesp them out, and hope they will I'M.
I'll the repub.icans Of tlis Territory Learn
10 stand 10 with their own party.
