JUDGE HOFFMAN, of Califor- mia, has no sympathy with election rcpeaters and recently sentenced one to pay a fine of $500 and impriso nment in the State prison for three years. In pass ing sentence the Judge remarked: 'rrhe law is merciful in that it provides a shorter term for otfen ces against the election laws than for passing counterfeit money, but to violate the purity of cleo tions is much greater crime" He announced that all persons convicted of violating the election laws would be punished to the full extent of the law.

It is safe to say he will never be convicted of the heinous oifense with which he is charged. The immense amount of money at his command, his social standing and the commercial influence of his father, the sugar king of the San wich Islands. almost precludes the hope that in his case iustlce will be vindicated.

a.Daaoxan Rassa Shot.

The shooting of the Irish dyn- amiter." ODonovan Rossa, in New York. on the 2l instant, Is the sensation of the day and the re
 port of that tragic event has been flashed to the remotest corners of the world. It was in the after noon. on Chambers street. near Broadway, in the presence of a mighty multitude that his lifewas attempted by woman, and q wound inflicted which was sup
 posed to be fatal but unfortunately was not. and he still fingers much to the regret of a large majority of the civilized world who belive that death should be his portion. Mrs. Dudley, a fine looking woman, plainly but neatly dressed in dark clothing, was walking with O'Don ovan when she drew 5-chambered revolver and emptied its contents into his body, only one shot talk ing effect. Her manner was com posed and she evinced neither excitement nor embarrassment, and when interrogated, replied; Il shall only answer questions which I know you have a right to ask v When asked if she knew the man whom she had shot, her reply was certainly, I shot O'Donovan Rossa." She lgave her age as 25 years said she was married, and by occupation a nurse. Her de- meanor at the time of the shooting and since indicates that she is a rational, cool headed person-de- ! liberate in action--positive in pur- pose. She is an English woman and while she is reticent as to her motive in attempting the life of the dynamiter probably acting under the advice of counsel, for few women can keep their mouths shut without extraneous pressure -her object in so doing can well be conceived by those who know the history of Rossa. Subscrip- tions have been started in this country, England and Canada, tc raise money to defend Mrs. Dud
 ley, and while her act is condemned ed by some it is approved by many She attempted to nd civilization of its greatest enemy. The Lon
 don Times commenting on tho shooting of Rossa, says: this mar whose thoughts one would imagine ran, from morning to night, upor methods of murder, at once placed himself in the power of al unknown woman. He now chew: the cud of reflection, which mus
 be bitter. Mrs. Dudley's act riyal' that of Charlotte Corday."

The indebtedness of Pima coun- ty. says the Tucson Citizen, eX- elusive of the SS,000 court house bonds. amounts to Sl3,000in round numbers. \ large portion of this wlll be paid before this years taxes are due, but will have two terms of court in the meantime, which will probably in crease it to about St5,000. To raise this amount it will be neces- sary to make the tax rate about ? or 3 per cent for this year. This would wipe out the debt and place money enough in the treas try to carry the county under ordinary circumstances until the taxes for 1886 become duo.

PRESIDENT JOHN TAYLOR, who recently returned from Arizona to Salt Lake, spoke recently to the saints in the tabernacle about his trip. and told them "how the faith fnl were persecuted to the Amer ican Siberia for believeing their religion" He spoke of federal officers as sneaks and tramps, in truding with q process from the courts into the homes of the peo- pie. It was hard to bear. For bearance might cease to be virt- ue yet. Stand it q little longer. He dId not want blood to flow just yet. It would be changed before long. He would not give up the law of God, so help him God! And the congregation shouted, Amenl Prosecutions were making some saints think of gong to q foreign country to preserve re- ligious liberty.

A BILL has been introduced in the Legislative Council providing for the collection of q quarterly license tax on Chinese wash houses. The bill is a good one and should become q law. There is no plausible reason why that in dustry should be exempt from taxation in preference to any others, especially since the laun- dry business is almostmonopolized by Chinese, who realize large pro fits therefrom, the greater part of which is withdrawn from circula- ton and lost to the Territory.

DR. LEVI GEoRGE of San Fran cisco recently visited the Moqui tribe of Indians, in the northeast ern part of this Territory and found a chief who had reached the age of onehundred and seventy-fvc years. In one of the cablns squaw was found who was one hundred and eighty-two years old. The record of the age of these old people has been kept, according to the custom of the tribe, by punching small round holes in a piece of smoothly polished horn at the end of each twelve months. In this Moqui village of sixty or seventy inhabitants Dr. George counted fifteen persons who were over one hundred years old.

JUSTICE is not always speedy if it is sure. The indicted president of the Marine BIak, of New York, Is not ready to be tried, and on some fimsy excuse his case Is continued until the next term, probably to give time for certain witnesses to get away Mir. Ferd- inard Ward, the fraudulent bank rupt of tho firm of Grant X Ward, is guest at the Ludlow street jail in New York, and is not ready for trial. so tue indictment against him is not called. And so it is, "Plate crime with gold. and the strong lance

The Tombstone Epitaph says of the Atlanta mine, of Bisbee, which is owned by Phelps, Dodge X O., of New York, who are also interested in mines in Clifton dis trict: As regards the Atlanta, it is useless for me to begin to discribe the enormous extent of ore bodies; suffice it to say that on our 200 foot level drifting and raising is done to the amount of about 200 feet, all in ore of good paying quallty. On the 250-foot level but little work has been done. other than running q drift over 100 feet, in which much ore was encounter ed. The 320-foot level has devel- oped into an enormous deposit of rich copper. Notwithstanding, exploring drifts have been run in different directions, amounting to over GOO feet. This whole area will in time pass through the smelters, saying nothing of the continuation of the ore bodies yet remaining to be explored. A shaft is started to the level below the one last referred to, and IS much richer in copper than anything vet discovered. The work in this mine was begun on the first day of April last. Notwithstanding the hard capping of limestone which abounds in this zone yet
 practical experience often leads to success.
