CITY AFFAIRs-The Finance Committee
Of tie City Council held meeting last
night and directed the collectors 10 proceed
at once to make out the lists OF property to

Council, in September next, and to make all
other necessary arrangements for said sale.
The committee also declined to pay $50 in

fore the war, Of the denominations of one,

opinion that there is no limit to them and will

zULIOK TO THE FRONT.
He Fears That His Party May Soon
 Come to Grief

The democracy in this territory is in d
 totterng condition, preparing for a grand
 tumble. Its chief exponent-or woald
 be chief exponent-.in Arizona, (. Meyer Zulick of New Jersey and Sonora, is lul- ly aware of the desperate condition o' his party and is making desperate efforts to retrieve it's fortunes, but every step he takes sends him and his party founder ing deeper into the mud. The following is copy of telegram sent recently by Zulick to we'll known gentleman of this city. The dispatch was waited by some mysterious means into the EPITAPH sanctum:
 "Anderson and Henshaw's bonds ap- proved. It is necessary for the success of the party that the commissioners ap- pointed by me should take their office at once. Have them come at once and make demand for the office and ifiefused proceed legally against the parties al once. It is necessary for the good of the public service that my appointees take their office immediately even if only for short time. Have influence brought to bear on Walker to accept the position even if only for few months. l cannot possibly afford to have this business fall through. It would be worse than the proclamation business. The democracy of Arizona is in bad fix. feel called upon to save it from ruin and want all my friends to stand behind me. Try | and fix those internal republican papers down your way, which persist in ferret ing out the truth in regard to the asylum business, which, for reasons well known | to myself and leading democrats am not at liberty to divulge. If success does not crown our efforts in this direction our hopes of future supremacy in this | territory are at an end"

A Broad Joke.

Night before last officers Holmes and Hyde's attention was attracted by very uproar5us noise on Fremont, near Eighth street, and hascang ,o thy scene found Frank Broad in the act of boycott- ing a Chnaman-that is, we suppose that's what Frank was doing, as he had the Mongollian down and was "doirg him up" in the latest style. Upon Holmes asking what he was whipping the laundryman for Frank replied: "Why d--n him, he wont give up my washing"
 Bob Holmes. knowing that Frank was high up in the Bagg Robinson Nash anti Chinese order, said: "Why, Frank, didn't think that you patronized Chinamen, supposed that you were a boycotter."
 "I was" said Frank, "until the white laundry's bills amounted to more than my weekly receipts, and then l thought it was time to call a halt. But I'm a good boycottcr yet, I'll show you if I'm not" With this Frank again com menced his boycotting operations on the heather.

Humor in Court.

The following is the closing portion o' a speech, delivered by Charles Granville Johnson yesterday, in the case of Rado- vich vs. Grindilli;
 "The order in this exparte proceed ing! Why, sir, if you have any acquaint' ance with Mir. Justice Pinney, then you know what kind motherly old man he is, and, as there was no opposition, he took the notion into his head to let the attorney have the order, and then revise it at the next sitting of the court, but be- fore the next sitting of the court mis- fortune befell him which changed all of his provisions.
 "The manner and mode of getting this appeal aboard, reminds me good deal of the way tramps board the cars: They wait until the conductor is out of sight and the cars Tn motion, then they jump aboard and are safe until reaching the next station. At the next term found another judge presiding; l had to go all over the whole thing again, Mir. Justice Fitzgerald deciding that l should go on with my judgement below and collect it. This supposed ended the matter, when shortly after conhagration sent Bisbee to ashes, and an earthquake or some. thing else sent Mir. Justice Fitzgerald to Los Angeles, and now, Sir, have it all to do over again before you, and pray to God .hat no misfortune may befalI you.
 "The statute requiring this appeal to be perfected and filed in this court within thirty days (from the date of this judge ment below) being mandatory and my friend Smith not knowing who would assume the duties of the bench next, he took himself to hunt up, if possible, the lost papers. MT. Smith is good hunter, have seen him in all the habiliments ol his hunting costume, and he is a crack shot, as Can be seen by the way he ran. sacked all of his papers out of his office, and, being unsuccessful, he ransacked all the pockets of his suspended wearing apparel. Still unsuccessful, and nothing daunted he hied himself to his rubbish pile and there, sir, rammed down into the mysterious depths of a defuncl political game-bag, he unearthed the coveted prize; but all too late to avail , him anything. Therefore ask that this un-appealed appeal be dismissed and that take judgement for my costs, and my client go hence to Bisbee, where the poor fellow earns his daily bread by the sweat of his brow.
 And now, If the court please, as the case at bar is so inextricably inter twined with politics and laws, desire tc say that manifold are the expressions o the sincerest grief throughout the lengtl and breadth of this country at the los of Mark A. Smiths public services lh, past two years, and if he will give us bu once more chance to prove to him th
 faith that is in us, we will give him
 victory as candidate for District Attor
 ney such as no candidate ever before en
 joyed."
 The motion was disallowed and tn
 case left with the attorneys to be sut
 mitted on an agreed statement. On hearing tlis decision Mir. Johr ston remarked in thoroughly surprise
 tone: "For Gods sake, your honor, ar |, you going to decide against mel" No business of importance was trar
