Now that vacancy exists in the judiciary of Arizona by the rejec- tiOn of Chief Justice Shields by the United States, the Epitaph m common with the people and the Cochise county bar, would like to see our fellow townsman, Ben Goodrich, appointed to fill the vacancy. It would be a graceful act upon the part of tbe admins tration, besides being the very best appointment that could be made. Mir. Goodrich is a gentle man of splendid legal attainments and q thorough honorable con scientious man, a man that would do credit to the bench of any state in the union. With Goodr1ch and Barnes at the head of tue depart ment of justice in this territory, prompt and speedy justice would be meted out to our citizens. 
 Why not?

FROM late reports, 1t seems the Indians have gone south and re
 turned to their strongholds Tn Mexico. Having subdued the Ya- quis, the Mexicans may now be able to devote their attention to the Apaches, and if equally sue cessful, Arizona and New Mexico will have reason to be thankful. Should there be an encounter be tween Mexican troops and the renegades, no prisoners will be taken to be fed, curried and petted and turned loose to rob, plunder and hll as the custom has been with us. Uncle Sam is slowly waking np to the fact that his policy in this respect has not been the wisest, and the Unwritten instruc- tions of our troops are now, we believe, to take no prisoners in tue event of . battle.

IRELAND of late has been the scene of disgraceful riots. It seems that mobs and violence are not confined to the home rule sec tion of the isle, and that loyal Ul- ster on occasion can raise as big a rumpus as any other portion of the world We have no sympathy for mobs and thelr acts. Disorder should be quelled and riots crush ed wherever they occur, and in whatsoever form they assume. whether that of nihilism in Mos COW O. anarchism in Chicago, Orange disturbances in Belfast or dynamite explosions in Westmin- ster.

away for a short while on some matutinal
business, was informed by the servant who
had arrived during his absence that the
house had been robbed. On investigating
the matter the gentleman found that sew

pecans had been stolen. There is no clue
to the thief and nothing on which to found
suspicion of whom he may be.

just as we were going to press on the
last issue, news came to us of the attempted
burning of the store and residence Of Mr.. j.
St. Amant, in New River, 80 that we could
make no mention of it. The incendiary took
advantage of the absence of Mr. St. Amant
and his clerks at supper OH the night of
the 18th inst. and, had not the flames been
discovered by Dr. st. Amant who gave the
alarm, be would have been successful.
Though seen, the man was not recognized,
and Il reward of $3.50 was offered by
Messrs. St. Amant & Go. for his identifi-
cation, capture and conviction. On We'd
nesday, Detective Henry r. Danto. of the
Merchants Detective Agency and Police
Company, came up from New Orlean s
and, by yesterday at ten o'clock. had evil
dence enough to lead to his arresting John
Guedry Jr. which he Gid, and the accused
is now lodged in Jail. There was no clue
on which to work, but Mr.. Danto by meth
DDS best known to himself. obtained sufii-
Gent proofs, as he thought, to make the ar
rest. This detective proves himself thor
ough in the profession he has adopted, and,
had we the pen of Edgar A. Poe, we might

write other Murders in Rue Morgue"
and many mysteries. Mr. Danto was for

praise cannot be too highly bestowed for
works already accomplished in this COM

a school for the colored children of the
parish. For this purpose he has appointed
committee, consisting of Louis Lefort,
chairman, Emanuel Bercier, L. l.. Fernan-

under whose auspices specifications and
bids have been received for the erection of
a single story frame building of sixty by

In order to defray the expenses, a grand
fair and concert will be given at the St
Joseph's Academy on March the 9Th and 7th.
For the fair no admission will be charged
and the tickets for the concert are fixed at
the small price of twenty-five cents. It is
intended that teachers shall be taken from
among the Sisters, but failing in this two
experienced lay persons will be chosen by
Father Dubernard to take charge Of the pu-

forgetfulness, and tho people of this par

works commemorative of their dead SOL

of the past were not resounding with names
of Ascension's sons who also have fought
and died. 1t was suggestive that we too
might erect a monument to the dead, and,
so vel! was the proposition received, that
some one undertook to make a collection
for the purpose on the moment. He was,
however, advised that it would hardly be
proper to proceed as many of those who
were side by eide all the war through with
the dead are still alive and formed into
