poin'ed Colonel c. Meyer Zulick, of
 Newark, Governor of Arizona Terri
 tory, his political enemies in the
 Democratic party have made deter
 mined efforts to defeat his confrma-
 ton by the United States Senate.
 As was recently stated in the Her. aid a suit was brought against him as
 the President of the New Jersey and
 Sonora Reduction Company, by some | of the stockhcld, rs of the cen oern.
 In the bill of complaint filed in the
 New Jersey Court of Cnancery it is alleged that he willGully misrepre- sented the affairs of the company and ] induced people, many of whom were his intimate friends. to invest money in the company, and subsequenn
 the funds were used for the develop
 mont of a silver mine in Sonora, Mexico A full history of the case was forwarded to Washington.
 During the last few drys another scandal was created by the produc- tion of an affidavit made by Alder man George s. Smith, of Newark, in which he makes very serious charges against Colonel Zulick in connection with his nomination for Surrogate of Essex county, and the election which | followed. An account of Alderman Smiths terrible death from charbon malique was published in the Herald two months ago. Ho had been a close personal friend of Col. Zulick for many years, and just prior to lis death coolness was noticed between them. The affidavit was made several months before his death and prob bly, would remain the exclusive prop erty of the Senute if he were alive to- 1 day.
 The filavit is now in the posses sion of Senator Harrison, Cf Indiana. chairman of the committee on terri tories, but copy of it is preserved in
 Newark. It details various practices, wlich, it alleges, Governor Zulick in- d ilged i'll during Andrew Johnson's i 'ministration, when Governor Zulick held for brief period the position of United States Assessor for the Newark District, and refers to the manner in which the offices at his disposal were d sposed of. The affidavit further states that-at- the last general elec= ton (lSS4), when Zulick was a candi- date for Surrogate and was defeated. he approached Alderman Smith, then chairman of the public buildings committee, and proposed a plan by which, wbcn a recount of the ballot boxes were called for, it would show that Zulick was elected and not de- feated, as was previously announced. In the affidavit Alderman Smith stated that he was actuated in mak- ing it solely by q desire tC show that Zulick was not g proper person to hold the office of Governor of Ari- zona or any position under the Demo- cratic administration.
 In speaking of the affidavit we'll known New Jersey politician said to Helald reporter yesterday: "Presi- dent Cleveland was very angry when he heard of the affidavit, and imme' diately sent for Senator McPheIson who recommended Zulick's appoint mer.t. The latter sent for several Newark Democrats and asked to have the matter thoroughly investigated, Alderman Smith was seen week be- fore his death. He re affirmed his charges and promised to give them in detail. l believe that he was working upon full statement when he diedi The whole matter has been referred to q subcommittee consisting of Senators George, of Mississippi. and Cullom, of Illinois, who are iuFesti- gatlng it, together with tie Sonora mine matter"
 It ir understood that there are other charges against Gov. Zulick in the possession of the Senate commit tee, and most of the evidence is be- ing furnished by prominent Demp= crat.-New York Herald, March 30th,
