 WAsifiHGToN, May l3-Tn his ser mon to-day on the ''Pearl of great price, Dr. Bartlett of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church related an incident that had created great interest. Dr. Bartletts church is located near the great hotels and is only two blocks from the White Honse. It is always well hl'ed and there is a considerable number of strangers present. The doctor said thst a few weeks ago a middle aged gentleman called upon him at Ifs resi-, and requested an interview on an i'm portant personal matter. The gentle man insisted on showing large num- Der of Endorsements and letters in order that the docter might be con- vinced that he was not an imposter. Thess letters were from the two sena- tors, the governor and tile leaiihg members of congress- from the gentle mans state and recommended him very strongly to the president for appoin = ment to leading diplomatic position He sad that he had attended the New York Avenue Church, and had been convinced that he ought to be a Christ -ian. He had simply dropped lrto tke church to pass away an idle hour and :haii- Aeard the gosp-l presented in such manner as to to 'eh his heHTk His family were Ba?tists. He hld al '&ay6 lived in the southern states, from which he had come to seek the appointment pr. Bartlett said that he advised the gentlemen to join the Ba ptist church of this town but the oman insisted that he desired to be Presbyterian onl? he wanted to be i'm merspd; Er: Bartlett said that he .wodld iihmerse him but finally he was called suddenly home. He hO&eyer soon came to Cincinnati where prom. inent clergyman baptized him. The gentleman wac soon after offered the position he sought, but declined it. He is contented now to stay at homa. The question is, who is the politician and can other offs seekers be cured as easy.

Most of our readers know Master Frank Prescott, the little five year old son of the manager of the Western Union Telegraph office in this camp. That the young gentleman, has the eln- bry6 symptoms of a logician is eri denced by the following. A few days since, reporter of THE TOMBSTONE, while passing dswn Fifth street, no ticed Master Frank sitting in front of the telegraph office intently watching a group. of Papago Indians; who we're camped in the vacant lot opposite. Among the group was a herculean buck, who was perehel on the steps leading to Meagher's club room. As the reporter passed he accostcd Frank. s."Better look out Frank that big buck is liable to come overdiere and, take your scalp, or carry you off, you know Indians always like to capture little boys.
 Oh, no, said Frank, that is a good Indian.
 H8W do you know, said the reporter, wondering how the juvenile had learn ed t6 distinguish good Indian from d bad one"
 Because said the yopfig Bacon, my mamGia told me, that whichever ahy- body had anything nice, and gave some of it to somebody else, it showed that they were good, and not self2l. That big Indian over there has been; tp In front Of the fruit store, two or three times, and every time he>fnds a rotten apple or or,l'g;s aia comes right back and gives some of it to his sisters, and I know he is q good In dian. Ii he was bad Indian, he would eat it all himself.
 The logic was unarswerabie, and the reporter leyatted.

sey, chief executive of Arizona, donn- ed his judicial ermine this morning at ten o'clock to sit as tribunal 10 hear the case against tie insane aey lum directors. in which he appears in the dual role of rprosecuting witness and judge. Directors Lincoln and Hatch were present in person and were also represented by their at totheys, Judge Edwards and J. C. Herndon. The complaint and judge was represented By counsel, A. c. Baker, of Phehi&. A demurrer was entered by Judge Edwards on behalf of the directors, and was exhaustively and eloquef4tt argued by him, when an adjournment &as had until nine O'Clock tomorrow morning.
 3 The argument of Judge Edwards Vas masterly cffoft and showed that he fully understood the law bearing on tie same. It was replete with sound logic and consisted of thor ouGh Fetiesr of tlid authorities touch ing the subject. His argtment lasted nearly two hours, and was confined to two dispositions, namely;
 First-Has the Governor, under tlIe Organic Act of this Territory, any judicial power, and can he perform the functions of a trial judge and hy ( decree remove the respondents from a responsible office of trust.
 secondSCa1i tie. CGyefhor in any case wliero the tenure of office is fixed by law, remove the incumbent there- from before the expiration of lis term7
 He reviewed the common law Of England and cited many authorities Showing that the king could not re- move persons from office, even where the theory of the British government was that the king was all powerful, and that every officer was considered his deputy. He claimed that section !aj chapter B, of the Compiled Laws, vas in difect conflict hitH the spirit and intent ef the Organic Act of the territory.
 That the judicial power was vested in the Supreme Court ind such infe- -Eior Courts as the Legislative Corhcil may by Law preseflbe; and that any Act of tie legislature confcrring pow -tts q a judicial character on the exc cutive was null and void, and con tained no binding force. That such an act was contrary to the spirit~ Of free government and outrageously ar bitrary in its character. He cited  many hmericar cjts6s sustaining his FieFs ahd challenged the production of any authority holding to the con trary. The argument of Judge Ed wards, and the authorities cited by him, appear to is tS be unanswerable Hoh. A. c. Baker, who appears for the Governor asked until to-morroH Y nor ming to read over the authorities cited by Judge Edwards so as to make the reply. Judge J. c.
