The tumult of political broils has been hushed, the wrangling and feverish excitement, incident to an election in which the re- sources of prudence, tact and po-
 itical finesse have been exhausted, have subsided, and in the calm re- tlection which follows the intense activity of the past few weeks, it might be source of profit to di- rect our attention from q retrospect of the past to the plans and pur- poses of the future. It might be said that Apache county is now just emerging from the chrysalis state of a frontier border, and is beginning to expand those brighter colors and higher virtues, which are only to be found in municipal ities, in which the security of pro- perty and the happiness of the citizen is the supreme law. In the
 bygone days sparsity of popula- tion, the difficulty of intercommun- ication, the enfeebled condition of legal means and measures, and the necessities arising therefrom, in duced a social relation Tn which lawlessness found license, and wrongs could only be vindicated by bloody reprisal. But little protec- tion was given to thrift and indus try, property was held at the will of the stronger, and life itself was secure only to the extent it's pos sessor was able to defend it. Red handed crime went unwhipt of jus tice, and the prowling marauder drove off herds from the pastures under cover of arms, leaving his victims to grOwl and bear the loss as best they might. The organiza- ton of the county with its corps of officials and its conStabulary served as a wholesome check to many fragrant and open violations of law and order, but the lingering influence of the old order of things, was still to be seen and felt, and the Responsibility which .harac, terized early territorial life, fur nished examples and precedents, which could not be readily forgot ten. The knights errants of the canon and cienega found easier prey and less laborious occupation in pillaging tke pubic treasury
 and as a legacy of their work, have left the county an indebtedness oi about $130,000. But year by year the disciples of law, order and of: ticial integrity have been growing stronger and more numerous, until the general demand for county of; ficials of responsibility and fidelity

verse report to be made on the Randall
tariff bill. Kelley moved to strike out
all but the administrative features of the
bill, the Hewitt provisions, but this mo-
tion was lost, although Hewitt voted
with the Republicans. Messrs. Reed and
Hiscock were absent. A motion was
then made to report the entire bill ad-
yersely, and upon the roll being called
all of the Democrats voted in the alrma-
tive, carrying the motion. The Repub-
llcan members abstained from voting on
the ground that the bill contained mer-

Morrison will prepare an adverse report
on the bill, while the Republicans will

Two Carolina Creeks.

Editor @the News and Courier:
| enclose you q letter from the United
State engineers office in your city which
think richly deserves publication for
more reasons than one, and hope tbst
you will coincide with me id this view
and favor it with an insertion in the
News and Courier. Since 1 first entered
Congress, year after year, l reluctantly
voted for the river and harbor bills as
presented from the committee for ap-
prevail by the House, not because I
disapproved reasonable appropriations for
the Improvement Of our harbors and
national streams, but simply because
annually there was a "Mingo Creek or
some such other "nigger in the wood
pile, in every one Of them, who would
shovel money into some private
individually pocket, as / believed, rather
than deeper the bed upon a stream that
foated our product to the sea,
But, think, the enclosed letter pres
ents a case that does not belong to the
Third district, and was certainly never
presented by me, for l do not remeber
ever having asked a dollar of a~ppropria-
ton fo1 this or any other creek and there
fore, l suggest that the edgineer must
go probing about in some other section
Of the State, less billy than the Third
district, before he will find his Mingo
Creek, or quite as likely, his Clark's
Creek, into whose dry:bed water must
be dipped from elsWhefe to establish q
Erng&haycieI stream. The letter is GER

At 1t Again.

On Friday morning at 5.25 O'Clock
there WAS q sharp shock Of earthquake
felt here. Houses were shaken, windows
ratified, and people scared. At2.45 p. III.
another shock was felt little less strong
than the first. Many persons are Of
opinion that the shock at 5.26 was as
hard a one as the second one on the 31st
August. This seems to have been a very
general "quake," extending to Washing
ton, Chicago and points in Ohio. At Sum-
merville Charleston chinnies and plaster
were thrown down, and q few persons
hurt. We wonder when this thing will
atom.
