TIE simple fact Of Gen. John Wasson giving to the people of our Territory the benefit of the vast fund of knovl
 edge upon land grants acquired by him while Surveyor General of Arizona, seems to agiiate the gall and wormwOod Of certain rGttle-brained individuals, who profess exaspega,ion that be should presume to so far interest bImself in Arizona affairs. NIT. Wasson has sim ply recited facts of rec I'd, and has dope go as a friendly acT towards inc settler
 He has truthtuliy said that nll tue rant and buncome denunclation by the peo- pie cannot destroy the vslidIty of land grant legally and properly made and re- corded, and 1t k t0 the Interest of every settler upon land, inc tItle of which IS in dispute, to have the title quieted Rt tue earliest possible moment. Mr. Nssso2 is n king no biased statements to iuil- euce official action. The settlement Of these titles will rot be made upon the private opinion ot Nr. WGsson or suy ether indiy;dual, but upon the recorded facts. Mir. Wasson holds property in- t,Tests IL ArizoLa and vlIi eventually re
 iurn here to reside. He is entitled Gs much to a free exlrcssicD of hIs opin- ions Gs any other man. Gaj even to re cite facts of record. To insiuuate an  evil motive for so doing is detestsble and unman'y, anl unworthy of notice.

4 VERY curious matter came before the recent grand jury in this city, which demonstrates the general lack of any information by the people concerning very ordinary public affairs. It was ID the form of an official inquiry into the disposition of the general school fnnd of the county, and arose from the sus- picion that School District No. l, in the city of Tucson, had built it's grand school building and IS maintaining it aj the expeuse of the outside or country districts, by q discriminating appor- 5ionment of the school funds. The facts, as proven to the satisfaction of the jury and those who desired the investi- gstion made shows that the taxpayer of the city of Tucson embraced IL School District No. l, not only pay all the taxes necessary for the construction ot its school buildings and maiutsiniup the schools, but they contribute iargei! to the country districts. The school tax l. leVled upon the assessed VaIuatlon or property while tine apportionment of school moneys is made upon the basis of tue number of school children ID the dis trIcts. Instances can be cited where school districts in Pima county have re- csiyed school funds far IL excess of tn, tax paid. There IS no fixed ratio between the property value of the school districts and the number of school children therein, aud the practice of basing the tax levy upon the one condi- ton and distributing the money upon the other, necessarily gives greater bene- fits 10 country precincts at the expense of those of the large towns and cities.

WHILE the preponderaDce of the evi- dence goes to show that the hostile Apaches attacked the Pennsylvania ranch near Crlttenden and killed Messrs. Richardson and Gornley, we are in- cliued to accept the denial of MT. Gorm- ley himself that he is neither dead nor a proper subject for location as lead mine. MT. Gormley is a gentleman of unlmpeachable versclty, and when he says he is not dead We believe it. If he had really been killed 1t is not at all like him to go around denying it, iust for Joke,

TIE CONVENTION.

On Tomorrow the democrats Of
tins COUNTY will meet IN convention
at the Court House, for the pur-
pose ofappointIng delegates to the
State Convention 20 nominate
candidates for Supreme Judges, at
Nashvi lie, on the 9oh, day of June,
to the Convention to nominate s
candidate foI Chancellor, at Jack
son, on the Il, of June, and to the
State Convention to nominate a
candidate for Governor, at NASH
vile, on the 18th, of August. This
is the most important convention
which the democrats of this cOun-
ty VIII be called upon to attend dur
ing this year, and it is important
that the party in each Civil District
should be we'll represented. The
delegates selected on to- morrOW.will
have q voice in determining who
shall constitute the members of your
court Of last resort, and who shall
be your Chancellor, for the next
eight years, Which are matters of
prime importance to the whole
people, They will also have voice
in the selection OF the next Govern
or, and in determining the policy
of the Tennessee Democracy, for
the next two years. Questions at
tectng the best interests of the
Democratic party, and the people Of
Tennessee viii come before the
above named conventions, and the
people should see that they are re-
presented. They can have no suf-
kcient guarantee that the right
kind of men will be selected IS dele
gates, unless they come to the Con-
and see to their selection.
Every democrat in the county
should feel that he has a personal
interest in the business to be trans
acted 10y the convention, and that
no one can attend to it SO well as
himself. Ii any one stays away,
and the business is not Carried on to
suit him, he has only himself to
blame. Inc grunlblers, are, gener-
ally, the men who don't attend con
veutions. Let every democrat, who
possibly can, come to the conven~
ton tomorrow.

Sore of the energetic ladies of
Bolivar, have begun to agitate the
question of a public park at SOME
convenient place III town. That
every town of the SIZE Of this needs
some nice place to which I'll persons
will be privileged to resort, tor
recreation or amusement, during the
summer months, will hardly be
questioned. If we had such a place
it would be visited ia the evening by
the young and old Of the town, and
would afford opportunities tor social
gatherings, which We do not now
possess. 1t would be a spot to
which all would feel free to go when
ever 50 inclined. It is needed for
picnic's, and other public gatherings
could be held there by all means
let us have the park. If our ladies
would take hold of the matter, it
could certainly be put through.
They knew no such wood asfaH.
Steps should be taken to select the
place most suitable for the purpose,
ascertain the cost Of the grounds, and
then go to work to raise the money
needed. We believe many of our
citizens will contribute of their
means to aid in the enter
prise.
