A,wIrs UNCHANGED AND UNABRIDGED.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-06-03

IT IS evident, that in the past, many of our county affairs have smacked of the "Heathen Chinee" peculiar method of doing business. Slipshod systems, and a go-as-you- please gait, have been the prevail ing methods. Too little regard has been paid to the requirements of law, and in some instances an open contempt of all obligations char acterized the conduct of those hold ing place and power, Crime has received too much indulgence, crim- inals too much protection, and the duties of office wholly ignored or wantonly violated. Too many fence houses for the disposition of stolen property, and too many re- treats and asylums to harbor and assist the law breakers themselves. A high-handed dealing with public trusts, and a reckless disregard of all the consequences which may follow neglected or perverted du- ties, has been of such frequent oc- currence that the violated laws seem to have lost power to deter, and the county jail it's influence as a re- formatory. Iron bars only confne until measures can be effected for a final escape, witnesses are intro duced or spirited away as it may suit the interests of those accused, and juries are summoned to sit as the solemn spectators of judicial farces. That the picture is not overdrawn all who are acquainted with the history of the brief past are fully prepared to testify. It is to be hoped that the civil service of the county will undergo radical re- formation, and that if future courts and iuries cannot drive the rascals out, they will at least make it de- cidedly unhealthy for them to Haunt their offences in the face of long suffering public.

THE bridge across the Rio Grande about thirteen miles south of Al buquerque, and near the junction of the Atlantic & Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail- roads, was washed away by fresh ct in the river on last Friday Three spans of the bridge have been washed out, and it is feared the en- tire structure will go. No mails from the East since last Friday. and no through trains can be ex- pected before some time next week although arrangements may be made for the transfer and bringing through of the mails.

IT IS rumored that the White Mountain Apaches have broken out, but we have not been able to trace the report to any reliable source. It seems to be the general impression that the hostiles now ravaging the country will use every effort to influence all malcontents to join them. It is believed that the various bands into which Ge- ronimo's forces are dividing are all making for the San Carlos Reser- vation, but the military are said to be guarding every approach, with instructions to capture or kill the marauders whenever found.

pressive, and the aversion to pay liabilities of this nature so gene rally understood that wisdom and prudence would seem to counsel that safest basis of all settlements, cash, in currency or coin. It is true the Sheriff will probably make the unpaid balance good, and even- tually no one will be the sufferer, but the law contemplates that pay ments shall be made in current money, and does not recognize any class of commercial paper, which may or may not be made converti- ble upon demand. The statutes of the Territory will not even commit the custody and safe keeping of public moneys to bank, but pro- vides that the counties shall pro- cure safes or vaults in which to place their funds. and 1t is all the more an imperative duty of an of fcial, acting in a fiduciary charac- ter, neither to offer or receive per sonal securities in satisfaction of public dues. Situated as we are, remote from commercial centres, without opportunity to investigate the value of mercantile paper or the solvency of the drawers, all the stronger reason exists why these acceptances should be avoided and refused. It is hazardous and un- necessary, it is lax and careless method of transacting business, and establishes a precedent which may be extended without limit, even to bankruptcy of the county, and the ruin of the official who practices it. The simplest plan is the best, pay and receive nothing but money, save in those instances where the law makes an exception. Justice to all is injury to none.

to the San Francisco Chronicle, he has had Captain Reyes and Lieu tenant Ward arrested for dilatori- ness in following the hostiles at the time of the Calabasas trouble. It seems that on the 20th of April. while depredations were being com mitted near Calabasas, Captain Reyes was in Harshaw with thirty two cavalrymen, the balance of hIs command being at Crittenden in command of Lieutenant Ward. While there a courier came from Mowry with information from the Santa Cruz river station that the Indians were killing people there and they wanted assistance, the distance being less than twelve miles from Harshaw. Capt. Reyes did not proceed at once to the de fence, but remained in Harshaw nearly all that afternoon. Next day he went to Washington camp and there stayed five hours, mean time his men were sitting under the trees. He also went to Lanoria and had left there when courier arrived. He could have met Cap tain Lebo at Calabasas in few hours from the time of leaving here and by being with him could have given much needed assistance at the time of his engagement. The two officers have been taken to Fort Grant, and their command turned over to Captain Lebo. This prompt action on the part of General Miles forms pleasing contrast to the easy-going method of Crook.

On the Greek Frontier.

LONDON, May 23.-Advices re- ceived here say that severe engage ments are taking place on the Greek frontier between Turkish and Greek troops. The fighting is intermit- tent and extends along the frontier for a distance of fifteen miles.
 A later dispatch from Athens says that a truce was effected at noon to-day and there has been no fighting since that time. The cas- ualties were heavy on both sides An interview between Turkish and Greek commanders has been ar ranged for four o'clock on Monday morning, when an endeavor will be made to arrange an armistice.
 ATHENS, May 24.-The Greeks have regained Contra. The Turks have been repulsed at Critzove. Many were killed. The Greek Gen eral Loris was mortally wounded.
 LONDON, May 24.-A dispatch from Athens says that the Greek losses before Grizovali were 15O killed and wounded, including six officers. The Turks claim to have captured 1SO Greeks in the engage ments on Sunday.
 ATHENS, May 25. - Both tine Greek and Turkish armies are mu- tually surrendering the prisoners and positions they respectively cap tured during the frontier fighting of the last few days, and the armies are returning from the frontier.

THE bill to be reported favorably to the House of Representatives, says the Globe-Democrat, prohibit ing aliens from acquiring public lands in this country until after they have declared their intentions of becoming citizens of the United States, ought to pass. Nearly 21 ; 100000 acres, a tract larger in the aggregate than half of the great State of Missouri, is already owned by individuals or corporations re- siding outside of the United States, principally in Great Britain. Re cent investigation by Government official revealed the fact that only about 5,000,OO0 acres yet remain of public lands on which crops can be raised without irrigation, and only about 50,000,0O0 acres which irrigation can make agriculturally productive. AS the absorption of Government lands By aliens is steadily progressing, the bill should be passed at once. Uncle Sam, even now, is not rich enough in lands to give us all a farm. Let us do our best to save the little we have left for the use of American citizes, native or naturalized.

THE House Judiciary Committe,

THE House Judiciary Committee is about to report an amendment to the Constitution declaring polyg, amy to be crime. The impres. sion already prevails, to be sure that it isn't exactly correct for a man to have as many wives as he pleases, but a constitutional pro- vision to the effect that such beha- vior is absolutely wrong will re- move all possible doubt in this con nection, which is, of course, desira- ble on every account.

As A matter of information to the taxpayers we would like to know how much of the money realized from the sale of Territo- rial bonds still remains in the hands of the Road Commissioners. We understand that short time after the receipt and sale of the bonds bank checks were flying about the country thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks in Vallom- brosa." We hope that the day ot reckoning which is near at hand will disclose a balance sheet satis- factory to every body.

A COMMISSION appointed by the government to report upon arte- sian wells in Cochise county, made the statement that sufficient water had been obtained in this way to water at least thirty thousand cat tie, besides affording sufficient irri- gation to maintain the gardens that population attending to this stock would require, and, perhaps, tree plantations for the relief ot stock from sun and wind" This report offers a suggestion to our cattlemen, which it would be well to consider, for if artesian wells can be made practicable in this country, large bodies of grazing lands which are at present unfit for use and occupancy, from scarcity of water, could be profitably added to the ranges which are overstocked and furnish an insufficient pastur- age, The experiment would not involve any considerable expense, and if successful would certainly return many fold the cost and trou- ble of the undertaking.

WE LEARN from the records of the Board of Supervisors, that on settlement made with them by the Sheriff at their last session. there was a deficit in the license tax collection of $1 ,560, and to make good this shortage, two checks for $1,O00 and $560 respec- lively were given the Treasurer by the Sheriff, and a receipt taken for the full amount due the county. Upon a presentation of the checks to the bank for payment, we under stand that $560 was paid, but the check for $1 ,000 was returned un- paid because of insufficiency of funds, and the matter still stands in that attitude. The county was credited with the amount called for by the checks, and the Sheriff holds the Treasurer's receipt for the pay ment of the same, and the county is protected through the official bond of the Treasurer from proba- ble loss, but there are so many loop holes of escape from the penalties and obligations of bonds, the Claws delays" are so notorious in making restitution in matters of this sort, the expense of collection so op-I

OWING to the delay in the mails, information is very meagre as to the progress of Indian troubles. But from all we can learn Geroni- mo still seems to be tacking and doubling with the cunning of fox defying pursuit and capture, and leaving a bloody trail behind him as he goes.
