PETITIONS have been circulated
rather freely about the county for

brother of his made the bargain
with one of the jurors to hang it,
and it was only frustrated through
the shrewdness of the foreman and
the stupidity of the juror. Yet that
paper, not knowing, or if knowing,
wantonly ignoring these facts, has
the effrontery to make the charge,
with no qualifying or saving clause,
that Sol Barth "was railroaded in
to the ponitentiary" Such baseless
and unfounded charges are beneath
any respectable journal, and would
not be INDUCED if decent or honor
able men had control of them.
They are scattered broadcast over
the country, leaving the impression
that the courts and its officials are
a set of unconscionable scoundrels
who, from petty malice, or other
unworthy motive, will indict. pros
ecute and railroad" a man who is
Iinnocent-that a court and its Off
Gals would lend themselves to a
course of action IN comparison OF
which highway robbery would be a
virtue-that men who have been
selected by the people, from the
people, would be so base, so lost to
honor as to prostitute their posi-
tons for the accomplishment of so
vile purpose, as to ruin the fair
name and break up the family of
an innocent person is unworthy of
any one laying claim to even a SEM
blance of decency.
The press is too prone to speak
lightly of honest, competent, pains
taking, worthy and efficient officials,
and it is about time this wholesale
SANDER, barefaced and unmitigated
lying should cease. In our opin-
ion the man who owns, controls or
edits newspaper, and prostitutes
his high calling to so ignoble a pur-
pose, should be drummed out of
any decent community.

THE Albuquerque Democrat says
"Sol Barth should be pardoned for
the reason that he was "railroaded
into the Territorial prison." Such
an assertion as the above, is on a
par with great many others that
have emanated from the outside
press, which can have no personal
knowledge as to the facts of which
they write so glibly, and as a con-
sequence should keep such utter
ances out of their columns. Mr..
Barth was represented, while on
trial, by Messrs. Herndon, Howard
and Sanford, of Prescott. These
gentlemen are looked upon as hav-
ing few, if any superiors in their
profession in the Territory, and to
say that they faithfully performed
their whole duty, would be short of
the actual facts. They exhausted
all the technicalities known to the
law in his defence-stubbornly, and
with a devotion worthy of better
cause, contested every inch Of the
ground, and only yielded when fur
Their resistance was hopeless.
The Democrat, perhaps, does not
know that, Notwithstanding the
overwhelming proof of Mr.. Barth's
guilt, he came near escaping a just
punishment through bribery. \

The Little Colorado river, VIC are
informed, is dry from the Meadows
down. This is an unusual thing at
this season of the year, and when
the amount of SNOW that fell dur
ing the winter, and the unprece-
dentedIy wet spring that followed,
is taken into consideration, is hard
to account for. But if one will
follow the course of the acequias
that are fed from the river, and see
the amount of water that is rum
ming to waste, the problem is not
very difficult of solution. There is
no questioning the right of farmers
along the river, to use what water
is absolutely necessary for irriga-
ting and household purposes, but
there their right ceases, and beyond
that, they are, at least, culpable, If
not responsible, for its wanton
waste. The people who live below
on the river, have some rights,
which the law is bound to respect,
as well as those who are cultivating
the soil above them. We had &C.
casion to refer to this matter about
twelve months ago, and predicted
that the respective rights of parties
along the river would finally have
to be settled in the courts, and are
still more firmly convinced such
will be the case, before the matter
is settled equitably between them.
Common deceEcy would teach the
agriculturists to turn the water, af-
ter they are through with it, back
into its natural channel, and if they
will not do so, in spirit of fairness
and business. with their fellow-men,
they should be compelled to do so
by the strong arm of the law.
There are at least half a dozen
shallow lakes in the immediate VII
cinity of St. Johns, in which water
has been stored and are still being
fed from the Colorado, and from
which not a single drop has been
used for irrigating purposes this
spring. If this wasted water was
turned into its natural channel,
there would be an abundance of
water from st. Johns to Woodruff
for all purposes. We will go fur
Their, and say that if the water was
shut off from the acequias on Sat-
urdays at dusk, and permitted to
flow in the river bed until Monday
morning at daylight, there would
be no complaint from those below,
and whose rights are totally disre-
garded by those above.
These suggestions are thrown out
at random for the careful consider
alton of all interested. We should
dislike to see the matter brought
into our courts to be adjudicated,
rs it would necessarily involve an
expenditure of money which none
OF the parties in interest can well
afford, to say nothing of the ami
mosities and bitter feeling likely to
result from such a contest. Neither
is there any occasion for such a So
luton Of the matter, if each will
have a proper regard for the rights
of the other, which we hope they
will, when they come to weigh the
matter fairly and impartially, and
in that spirit which should govern
us in our intercourse with our fell
lowmen.
