been taught and had learned to
look upon him as tie most brutal
and tyranical of men, and when
Mr.. Washburn told me Of Lincoln's
purposes and designs toward the
South, and how lovable, and broad
and unresentful he was. it was like
a revelation to me | very natu.
rally thought that the north would
demand some sacrifices, and That
some, if not all, Of the leading men
of the South in the war would be
put to death. As | rode with Mr..
Washburn I told him that the as

most was that ny children would
be outlawed and compelled to suffer
for what their father had done.

Lincoln's plan, which was to call

was even willing at that conference
to agree to q gradual emancipation

The Board Of Supervisors Of

The Board Of Supervisors of the
county OF Apache have in their in
finite wisdom instructed the Clerks
OF the District and County Courts
not to Issue any more certificates to
witnesses in criminal cases. We
were not aware until tnis that au or
binary Board Of Supervisors had any
control over these Courts, but the
Apache Board 10 evidently an eIta
ordinary one, and liEe tho ono in
this county, exercises extraordinary
powers when Lecessary. However,
we shall probably be enlightened as
to the powers and duties Of these
officials when this and other matters
of a similar nature come properly
before the Courts, us they soon will.
The Boards Of Supervisors all over
the Territory, aud of Apache county
ia particular. have been carrying
matters with o pretty high hand Of
late. and il is about time the full ex-
tent Of their authority was denned
by the Conrts, and that they were
made to understand that they are
not tho all powerful and superior
beings they think they are. We are
much mistaken if the Apache county
Supervisors don't soon discover TO
their sorrow that Clerks Of Courts
Of record are amenable only to the
laws u the Territory, and snbject
only " the orders o. the Court.
