A Building with a History

Among all the buildings in New York
city to-day there is not another that has
so ancient and eventful q history as the
hall of records, or registers office, in
the City Hall park. 1t was erected
about the middle of the last century.
when Broadway was country road,
when the only theater stood on the site
of the present World establishment,
when Center street was lake, William
street swamp, Canal street river,
and the Bowery a lonely lane, running
up through huckleberry bushes.
During the Revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison
for distinguished patriots. Here Capt.
Nathan Hale, the intrepid Yankee. was
confined after his capture with plan
of the British dcfenses of Long island
in his shoes, and in the public common
adjoining, exactly where the city hall
now stands. he was hung as a spy.
Here that tough old rebel, Ethan Allen.
OF Ticonderoga fame, was imprisoned
after his capture while trying to take
Montreal with thirty men; and his
treatment and that of others caused
the building which now stands near the
city hall station of the elevated road,
to be regarded by the patriots with
about the same abhorrencc as attached
to Andersonville after the late war.
When the British evacuated New
York, in November, 1888, the jailcr,
Cunningham. having won the same
infamous reputation as the confederate
jailer Wirz. was asked by his patriot
prisoners, ''What is to become of us?"
You can go to the devil." shouted
Cunningham, as he flung the keys into
the middle of the floor and made off.
1t was forty or fifty years after that
before the bastilc of the Revolution
was remodeled and the bell transferred
to the bridewell. 1t now rings prison.

COUNTY DIVISION.

The more consideration that is giv- en to the question of the division of Yavapai county, the more apparent is the need of carrying it into effect. The immense area of the county as we'll as the diversity ofinterests be- tween the northern and southern DOT. tions makes such a division desirable. It would lessen the working expenses and consequently the rate of taxation in what would remain of the old as we'll as in the proposed new county, and it would greatly facilitate public business. The distance of the present county seat from the line of the A. & P. railway Is source of constant vex' ation and inconvenience to partes re- siding in this section, and north oft, who have important business to tran sact at Prescott. This fact Is especi. ally felt at the present writing. On Monday the district court convenes al Prescott. Not only have many peo pie to go across country distance of a hundred miles or more at very in element season of the year, but the ends of justice are frequently trustrat ed because people refrain from prose- cutting criminals on account Of the expense, difficulties of the journey and 'iEe consumed in going 10 the county seat. Le. us have a new county wiih its official center on the main line ot railroad, thus lcssening taxation and securing more efficient administrA ton of the public affairs of our com. munity.

THE PREslDEST' ME,SAGE,

The second annual message of Pre- sldent Cleveland submitted to con gress this week cannot be desc ribed d, an able state document. It IS sim ply plain. straightforward statement Of the condition and needs of the country from the standpoint assumed by the present administration.
 The gratifying portion of the mes. sage Is that il discloses sound and prosperous condition of national al- fairs. Crops have been prolific, trade abundant, the national debt has di. min,shed and we are at peace with ihe world-a general condition ot affairs to make the chief executive Of any country supremely happy.
 There are three recommendations m the message which will meet with much adverse criticism. The first Is the proposal to reduce the tariff, which will be strenuously opposed by the protectionists of both parties. The recommendation to discontinue the coinage of silver is in direct opposl. iion to western interests and against the welfare of the masses of the peo- pie throughout the union.
 The long talk about civil service r.form is m-rely theorizing upon a qu stion which other governments nave found 10 be inprIctlcible in application. The president seems to nave a hobby on ttis cill service question, but in the concise, If not elegant, language of the west "he has Dit off more than he can chew"
 The suggestions tor the increase of our naval forces and the more efficient construction of coast de,ences viii meet with almost universal approba. lon. It will supply mlratine detences lEat have lang been needed and give employment to a large number of workmen. The satisfactory condi- ton of the national treasury will make It easy to ind ample funds for the purpose.
 The suggestions regarding alien iand holders and chlnges in our naturalization laws are worthy ot at. tention, as they are in consonance with the most advanced thought ol both political parties.
 Like all of President ,Slevand's state papers, the present message has much prolixity of language, while it never astonishes the reader with any terse or forcible thought. It is essen- italy commonplace, but as far as it goes there are not many serious faults so be found with 1t,

ARMY HOIsSES.
n,unity

According to announcement, the army examining board to purchase cavalry horse: met here last Monday. Only one member of the board, Capt $. I. Norvell. 10th cavalry, WIS pre- sent, but Lieut.. Nj. M. Maxon, 10th cavalry, was in attendance, as quar master, to pay for the animals pur- chased, and the Veterinary Surgeon $. w. Service, to make the patholog ical examinations. r. Nj. McCann, the noted horsemLn of Pnoe nix, tested the animals for gair, speed an q endur ance. Our streets on Monday and Tuesday presented the appearance oi a horse far, many people from the surrounding country having come in mounted, not SD much to offer their animals, as to get points on how the the thing IS done.
 Only about twenty horses were pre- sented, out of which six passed the examination and were purchased, as follows; Philip Hull, two at sI37.s so each; from W. M. Munds, two at SIao each; from John Roberts, one al Sr35 and from Thos. C.. Norris one at SIa5; the average price being with a fraction of SI3o. This is an excel. lent showing for our section. consid ering that at Prescott, out of over one huT.dred offered. only two were ac. cepted, for which sIa5 each was paid.
 In reply to statement ot a CHAM PIoN reporter that it was the impress sion among horse owners thar the government was not willing 10 pay the full price of good horse, and this prevented many from presenting their best. Capt. Noryell said this was a mistaken idea and that, on the con. trary, the government would pay every cent a horse was worth, pro vided he was suitable in every respect. He added that many men possessed fancy animals of which they were very proud, and asked fancy prices tor them, but on examination they were found 10 be entirely unfit for cavalry service, or else the fancy prices were way above their real value. He also stated that he feared the board would have to go east for the balance of the 200 horses still needed.
 S W, Service, the veterinary sur. geon, said the cause of the rejection of the greatest number of horses wa, lack of constitution, that they were too hardly used in their early years, and were thus broken down long be fore their prime.
 He also said that he could add nothing to the description of the kind of horses required for cavalry service published in our issue of the 77th ul. timo, The board left Tuesday night for Williams where their say will de- pend upon the number oi horses offer ed for examination.

 FLAGSTAFF, A. T.,
 December roth, 1886.
 Editor ef Me ARIZONA CHAMPIoN:- In view of the fact that our territorial esislature will soon convene, and as | firm which has been interested and in sympathy with the sheep business in Arizona from almost its infancy down 10 the present day, we beg leave to place ourselves in communication with other shsepmen of the territory upon the subject of territorial law tor the suppression and prevention of scab among sheep, the greatest barrier to success with which the sheepmen of this territory have to contend.
 Other industries in Arizona have received favorable legislation. All suc- cesstul sneep countries are protected by rigid scab laws. Why can not Arizona be one among the many states and territories in protecting her infant industries2 Every year there are rowing bands of harbingers of scabs driven into ouT border, tarrying long enough to intect our ranges and our focks, and leaving soon enough to escape taxation. Experience has taught US that SC 10 can be extermin- Ated from the ranges of Arizona.
 The easiest and best way Is by vir- tue of rigid sca5 law strictly enforce1. That such law Is absolutely necess ary no legislator will deny, but unless we take some immediate steps to place this measure in proper hands our nec- essities may be overlooked. We Lave a territorial sheep breed CTS and wool growers association m ictive operation in thi. territory. The subject of scah has often been dis cuSsed at nS meetings.
 IL 1t will taA- the matter under con. sideratlon and inv..e other kindred Lss"cIations in lIne, II will br possible 
 to induce the enactment of such a law. Statistics will bear us out in the statement that Arizona ranks higher than any other state or territory in the union in the average number Of pounds of wool produced by each sheep yearly.
 There are now nearly one million sheep grazing upon her ranges. which are large enough 10 accommodate ov- CT five times that number, but she will not attain her highest reputation as a successful sheep country until law shall have been enacted for the sup pression and prevention of scab. Yours Respectfully. DAGGS BROS. by P. P DAGGS.

THE great danger from the spread, ing of pieuro-pneumonia, the over. stocking of ranges and the extortions of the railroads, which menace the very existence of the stock raising in. leTeSts, are subjects which will be brought so iorcibly before congress this winter from every direction that the passage of wholesome and protec. tive law will undoubtedly be the re. sult
