The Cnnnfy Court DecIsinn.

The full text of the opinion Ol the United States Supreme Court, in the case Wash. F. Lothrop. on petition Tor n writ Of hsbeas corpus, involving the con- stitutiousliiy of the County Courts es tablished at the last session of the ATi- zona legislature, has been received by Mir. Theo. l.. Stiles, of this city. It was rendered on April 26th, and delivered by Chief Justice Waite.
 A syllabus ot the case Is followed by extracts from the laws oi ths United States governing territories, and from the organic act of Arizona, which show that "The iudicial power of Arizona shall be vested in IA Supreme Court and such inferior courts as the legislative council may by law prescribe" Anoth- CT section provides that "tne iurisdic- ton, both appellate and origlna', of tine courts provided for in Sec. l9JS (abOve auotedD shall be limited by law"
 Sec. f, of the Act creating County Courts. defines their jurisdiction.
 The mgln question hinged upon the determination whether or not such a court was an "inferIor court" under the meaning of the law, ingsmuch Es the County court had ,been given IurisdIc- ton almost identical with that given io the District court by the Territorial statutes. It has equal concurrent con- raon law. equitable aud statutory iuris- diction with the District courts m all cases and original concurrent JurIs- diction with the District courts
 m all criminal cases amounting to Tel ony, and cases of misdemeanOr, not oth- wise provided for"
 The court holds that IL is, therefore. a court of substantially equal dignity and importance with the District court, 90 far as the county IS concerned, but that 1t is inferior" Co the Supreme court be cause that court has power to review lts judgment md decrees on appeal. AS District courts are neither named nor specially referred to m tbe section quoted, 1t does Lot necessarily tollo@ that the "iDfsriOr courts provided Tor must be courts inferior to them There is no restraint on the Legislative power of this Territory as to the grant oi Iurls- diction to the inferior courts, except by implicatiou, that 1t shall be such as properly belongs 10 court inferior to the Supreme court. The opinion IS quite lengthy and gnotes ample authorities 10 sustain the correctness of the judgment. As to the reasons for keeping thus dis t!nctive power in the Territory Of Ari- zona exclusively 1t was considered a sub feet for congressional legislation and not for judicial restraint.

CALABAsAs. Ariz., May 9th, lSS6. EDITOR CTTIzEN-In the Arizona Daily Star, of May 7th, the following article appears:
 1t is said among the band ot Apaches who murdered Peck's wife and child, were two renegade white men, one of whom Is hal brother to Peek, and 1t is thought that to the intsrcession CT this man that Peck's life was saved
 The concOc;OT of the above article Is either lunatic or. what is worse, a liar.

main line is to be built direct to Phenix
 via Florence. Some weeks since while
 in Tucson the Editor of the Herald was
 informed that, ID fact, this was the origi
 nal intention of the road; a branch road
 will also be built to the San Carlos coal
 fields and probably to Globe. This
 sounds curIOus to ears that have SO long
 had railroad" dIDging in them without
 any actual result whatever, but the cit
 izens of Phenix have every assurance
 from Mir. Stephens that the road2will
 reacl us and that 1t will be built some
 where is beyond doubt as the grade is
 now being constructed and too much
 material has been purchased and is on
 hand on the way, to allow the matter to
 diOp. The company will probably re-
 ceive permission from Pinal county to
 use the fine Iron bridge across
 the Gila at Florence, shonld 1t rot feel justified in at once putting up one of it's
 own which it will probably do consider ably further up the river. IL would,
 however, be to the advantage of Flor ence to Keep the road on that side of the
 rIver tIll il reaches that town. Certainly
 NIT. Stephens brings us great encourage ment and sgaIn lights the spark of rail- read hope. One of our sanguins citi. zens much interested in the welfare of
 ths valley offers to deposit $2J0 against
 a Ike sum that Phenix will have two railroads within two years. We hope he IS right There IS not much danger of our having too many. One thing
 which gives color to railroad rumors more than anything else is the tendency of capitalists who have the inside track to put their money into our valley lands. This they are doing, extensIvely, and q great deal of property is changing hands from day to day in very quiet l way. On Saturday last one of our real estate firms disposed Of & | section of land, another dealer of a quar- | ter section. another of a half and pri- l vate parties to still other pieces SO that l in fscs real estate here IS quietly moving | in very decided manner. It | has been but week or two since one | put 5000 into town and val ley property; a month ago another we'll | known ArizOnian invested as much more | and SO 1t goes. The aggregate of these | sales and changes foot up great many | acres though without showing a great | sight of money, from the fact that land | s cheap.

County Boundary Line.

HUACHUCA SIDING. May 10. 1886.
 County Surveyor Geo. ]. Roskruge and 5party came into the Bsbacomari valley this morning; they have brought the boundary line to point about one fourth of a mile east Of the Burty ranch. It will leave the IGo ranch, at the point of the liuachuca mountains, about one half mile iu Pima county. The line runs across the Babacomari valley at the Cienega. which marks the initial poInt of the land grant covering the valley. The standard line of the public surveys was run through this valley about one year ago, and the township corner between ranges Is and 19 east, settled the matter as to what county the BuTty ranch was in. The old McGary, now Perrin, is at least one and one half miles n Pima county. The iiue passed about one-hsii a mile east of Bear Spring, located at the extreme south end of the Nhetstone mluntaIus. The party saw one armed Indian, hut he did not attempt Co modest them. They saw several fresh moccasin tracks near Bear Spring but at there were DO soldiers n the vicinity they felt perfectly safe. They left to-day gong toward the Huachucas. Yours. 0s.

Fires were noticed on the Florida mountains last night. Whether they were signal fires or nos, IS not known. It is believed that Geronimo IS making an attempt to get the Mescaleros to join him. and it may be that the fires were signals used by runners, who are endesy- bring to get to the Mescalero reservation in order to induce the Mescaleros to go on the warpath.-Deming Headlight,

What a Stenographer Saves.

s'The actual cost of a Court of Ses-
sion is 5000 per day, with the grand
Jury. After the grand jury is discharg-
ed it costs $3.50 per day. Thes steno-
grspher, using short hand system, can
write down words as soon as uttered,
up TO f69 words minute may be
considered far work. Fully one half
Of the time of Court is consumed in
taking testimony alone. This the
Judge cannot write ont faster than rs
words a minute. The average daily
session IS about SIX hours. BY cal
culation then the stenographer can
write as much in minute as the
Judge could in four, saving three
fourths of tbs time, or 2 IA hours per
day, Is IL hours or two days per
week, giving a saving of Sa20 or $500
per week, or 1920 for the three courts
each year, representing nearly one mill
Of taxation in our country. To put
the basis of calculation at the lowest
possible, there IS a saving of one day
in each week, Of $500 at each Of the

The Turning Point.

Twenty-Five States in the Union OF
thirty-eight have Democratic Govern
ors. The home rule of more than
three-ffths of the American people is
Democratic.
The Democrats hold the House OF
Represeasssives by amaiority of forty
three. They hack only seven Of a
majority Ia the United States Sen
ate.
At the hast election Of President
the Democracy carried twenty States
out of thirty-eight by a plurality Of
$4,000 in total popular vote Of more
than 100000.
We mention these facts, not only be-
cause they have present political inter
est, but also because they will possess
m a certain event, a melancholy histo-
rical interest to future generations OF
Democrats
They viii mark the highest tide OF
Democratic success In the latter half
Of the nineteenth century, provided
the American people are forced to the
conclusion that the Democracy thinks
best to stand by its Pan-Electric
statesmen, as the c,rrupt and shame
less Republican party stood by its
Credit MobiEer men.-Sun.

public notice, do get men into the Leg
islature, as by stealth, to pass their
measures. Apathy is the ruin OF the
farmer. If a measure, for example,
be proposed in Congress, injurious to
banks, railroads, miners, manufactur-
eTs or merehants-all these classes are
up in arms at once. The warning
signal is no sooner given, than it re-
verberates over the whole land. But
millions of dollars may be wrung from
the farmers by indirect methods, and
they would never know it, until power
ty and want began to stare them in
the face And should they find it out,
how could they be match without
organization, for the organized class
es, who were robbing them?
A proud old man came to my house
some time ago, who had a fine planta-
tion, from which, he SAID, poverty had
driven him away. He was peddling
about books and life insurance, etc.
He said that money could not now be
made at farming, Ffand" he continued,
"it must ever more be losing busi-
ness" But his heart yearned for the
old home. He remembered tenderly,
its happy associations, and his proud
heart made him keenly sens. i've of the
dependent, mendicant-like business
he was at, as contrasted with the in
dependence of his once, more prosper
Gus farm life. I said to him: my
friend, does not the cities and towns,
and all mankind live upon the pro-
ductions of the soil :? Yes! Well then,
if the people who coax those produc-
tions from the soil, can make nothing,
is it not because the rest of mankind
get more than a fair share of their
own hard earned productions? And
how is this except that the Statesman
ship and policy which has guided our
affairs have allowed it to be possible
And shall the farmer never organize or
learn anything of their rights? Will
they join no society for their benefit
The Agricultural Society is for the
benefit of Agriculture. It is not
against any other class It is for the
education and enlightenment OF farm
ers through and by each other-with
the assistance of honest, fair and gen
erous men of any calling, who have
human hearts and do not wish to live
by taking advantage of their igno-
rance. Just laws for all the people, is
the true interest of the Agricultur-
ist. And just laws are what they
want, and it is all they seek, either in
or out of the Society. A friend said
to me, "your society should not meet
in Manning, some people here are op-
posed to such societies" Are they
Have they more wisdom than Calhoun
and Webster who said that Agricul-
ture is the basis of our wealth? Does
the good God rain down Mama
for some, that they may have NO in
terest in the productions of our soil
Or in those who dig those produc-
tions from it? Anything which could
even IN small degree benefit our ag-
riculture would in like degree benefit
almost everybody else.
