The Lower Californian says that notwithstanding the bitter and un. warranted attacks made upon the new gold mines at Santa Clara and Alamo by many newspapers, the camp IS growing ana the mines are wonder to all who have carefully examined them. Present indications in ten or more mines upon which work has been done, go to show that the ore IS as rich and veins as wide as the most sanguine expected. In most cases where shafts have been sunk the ore is better and shows more free gold than on the surface. In some ln- stances the surface rock showed no gold, but at 20 to 30 feet deep great richness was developed.

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucus surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on preset cliption from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten-fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system.

THE YUMA" wATEgwoags.

The appropriation bill winch passed he Legislature allows $l5,00O for the Territorial Prison. Ten thousand dol. lars for water works to supply the prison and town with water and five thousand for general mprovementS.- Yuma Sentinel.
 The foregoing is not within gunshot of the truth, so far as the towns inter- est m the water works Is concerned The proposition oi the joint benefac ton was discussed, and ,epudiated by a House committee, and very properly so, for the reason as stated. that il was not within the province of the legisla- ture, while denying to counties need- ed assistance, to whip the devil round the stump" to furnish Yuma with water under the guise that the peni- tentiary is alone to be benefited.
 They say that tho union of inter ests will afford revenue, which, if true, why does not tue Territory enter an arrangement with some enterprls- ing individual to establish peanut stand? But this, We presume, would be as stouily opposed by Sam Purdy. Yuma's representative as he did Gila' $ proposition for Territorial assistance in bridging Salt River
 The Yuma SentInel-Dorrington s paper-of the 20th. refers to the "en- terprise" as The Yuma water works and copies the Phoenix Gazette as say ing: "The people of Yuma have occa. sion to bless Messrs. Darlington, Ste vens and Purdy for then untirlng labors in behalf of this peculiar but jiustifable measure"
 The following IS also clipping from be same article; The present water facilities are faulty. The peo- pie are depending entirely upon the railroad company for water, and at times their gardens and premises are neglected for weeks because Of the re. fusal of the railroad company to sup ply them; but with this water works n operation, Yuma cIty will bloom ferth in her holiday attire, bedecked bccomingly in her robes of sweet flow CTS and budding trees"
 The Gazette might have added with equal propriety that the Territorial expenditure will make Yuma little elysium.

4 LIE NAILED.

The Financial and Mining Record puncturss a deception which mono metallsts are continually using as an argument against increased silver coinage, VIZ: That there arc millions of useless standard silver dollars stewed away in the Treasury and which assertion IS credited 10 Sscrata- ry Windon. The fact is that there were but n ,262, ,26l standard dollars in the vaults of the Treasury on the lst of this month that are not to all intsnts and purposes less uselessy, or in fact, less actively employed as mon ey in the daily current business of the American people, than IS any other description of the national currency. On the lst instant, there were in the Treasury 267 ,2S6,l76 standard dollars against which there had been issued silver certificates 10 the aggregate amount of S256 6023,9t5, all oi which, save $4, ,760,236, were in the hands el the people and being used III their dmly business transactions one with another, in an exceptionally essential and active manner, leaving but Sll,- 262, ,26l in the Treasury but not use less any more than Sl1 ,7oo,296 of the gold com piled up beside It, that are not represented by gold certif- cates that have been issued, can be sad to be. The utterance of the wort useless in connection with the silver of the Treasury vaults in the lace of such undisputablc figures as these. becomes the utterance of downright talsehood and nothing less,

 InasmuCh as our government will shortly engage in taking the census, we would suggest that erumerators for Arizona should especially be ln- structed to sustain Governor Zulick's figures in order that our Territory may show a sufficient population to become State, which, according to Congressman Springer should approx innate, under the next apportiennent, at least two hundred thousand per sons. It will be necessary to include tramps and others having neither local babttation nor name, which will be an easy matter if figures are sufficient ly crowded, having care to insure Arizona a hitch in the galaxy of States. A failure of the enumerators to com ply with this suggestion may prove grievous disappointment to impor. tunate politicians deslrous of filling State offices and Congressional po- Sitlons.

The second session of tae 4Sth Con gress enacted that all Indians within or without an Indian reservation com mittIng against the person or proper ty of another Indian CT other person murder, manslaughter, rapo, assault, with intent to kill, arson, burglary, larceny, within any Territory of the United States, shall be subject there. for to the laws of such Territory re- ating to such crimes" IL seems that the 14th Legislative Assembly of Ari' zona slemorIalized Congress 10 so amend the judiciary act as 10 give ex- elusive jurisdiction to the United States district courts, and that un- der no pretense should Territorial courts chip in or contribute in the remotest degree to the expense at tending such trials And it IS pre- sumed that the reason why the Feder- al Congress refused to hear the prayer of the Arizona Territorial Congress was that favorable response would deprive the counties ot our terrestrial baiwicks the means of reducing their surplus treasure, and, therefore, in CT der to preserve tbe integrity of the whites, the law complained of was not disturbed But who shall decide when doctors disagree? The action oI Congress places tue Territories in the position ol the eel that was being skin ned by the cook. Gila County, at least, cannot appreciate the kindness of quartering 5000 undiciplined ln- dlans within her borders and leaving to Federal authority their sole charge until their innate disposition 'to do as they damned please" prompts them to the commission of an overt act, and te then saddle the expense of applying the corrective, upon the taxabes of a community in no way responsible fer thelr actions.

APRoPosED NEW STATE.

The Santa Fs correspondent of the Las Vegas Optic says: The report of a now State to be formed out of the southw estern corner of New Mexico and the adjoining portion of Arizona is far from beIng erroneous. as has been stated within tue past few days by some persons in answer to Mr. Glasgow, whe was interviewed in Chicago While there are some doubts as to its being accomplished, the mat ter is now being most vigorously pushed in that direction by the news papers in the sections named. Dem- ing. N. M, is the chosen spot for the capital. Thls proposition was first sprung m the southern portion of this Territory by lei of political kickers with view to lnjure Santa Fe. Pre- vious to the erection of the capitol building here, some four years age, tho selt-Same men spent thousands Of dollars in fruiiless endeavor to remove the capital from thls city to Albuquerque. A large delegation loaded down with gold, ralsed by pri- vate subscription in the above named town, remained in this city during the entire sesslon of the twenty.sixth as- sem5ly and went home disgusted be- cause of their failure to purchase members of the legislature. These are the men who are now agitating the question of a new State with a view to securing office of some kind. There are some queer political conven. ton bosses among these who are fos- tering the new State scheme.

One of the most disreputable pieces of legislation of which the Fifteenth or any legislature was ever guilty. was tLs bill for the relief of c. 4 Luke. The beneficiary was appoint d Commissioner to the Vienna Exposi- ton in 1872, at his own solicitation and with the explicit understanding that no compensation was to attach to the appointment. Luke is native of Austria, and at the time of bis ap- p0intment as Commissioner. consid. cred the distinction of returning to tbe land of his paternity vested with such high sounding title as sufii- cient reeompense for tho expense In- cident to the journey.
 At the session of the legislature next succeeding his return 10 Arizona, how ever, and at every session since, Mr. Luke had introduced bill to rein. burse him for expenses incurred while lending so much lustre to Arizona at the Austrian capital. Although the claim has been repeatedly ignored, ho has persisted until at tue recent ses- sion he found mem mbers more pliant, although the bill was defeated when first presented, but subsequently, res urrected and passed. Zuliek signed the bill with unbecomIng haste, and the ink inscribing his signature was hardly dry before the warrant on the Territorial Treasury was drawn, pre- Sented and pald. It is charged that of the s2400 appropriated, Luke recelved but $40O What became of the bal ance will probably never be known. At any rate the sudden change of heart of members of the legislature whe at first voted against the bill was certainly significant.
 IL might be we'll 10 add, in this con nection. that Fred Glover, who mur- dered a woman at Prescott, and was recently pardoned by Zuhck, IS a step son of Luke.

Says the St. Johns Herald: Thomas Carson, Esq, came in few days ago from the alleged Carizo gold.tieds, and says he saw nothing there, nor was there single individual in that section. The whole thing seemed to be an attempt to get up an excitement in the near neigbborhood of the petri- fled forest, in order to bring that thing again prominently before the public.

The settlers on lands in southern Pima County, who have been greatly disturbed by claimants to fraudulent grants striving to dispossess them, re- gently met in Nogales and passed a series of resolutions concerning the matter, one of which endorses Dele gate Mark Smiths action in opposing the creation of special land court fer Arizona, to have exclusive jurisdiction in land grant cases. The resolution reads as follows:
 RESOLVED, That we pledge eur most favorable influence and votes for our worthy member of Congress, Hon, Marcus A. Smith, whose plans for set. clement are the only true plans fer the welfare of the settlers. With hon. est and capable officers we want no missioners, but cenfde in the gov ernment to defend us in our right.

TATE STRINGS, TENN, July 4, 1888. The Swift Specific Co.,, Atlanta, Ca:
 Cenflemen--Scven years ago contracted an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I tried phy sician, the best at command, but secured no benefit. My throat began to get sore, and my body covered with sores and ulcers. Going from bad to worse. I felt that my grave must be reached in the near future. I gave up the doctors treat ment, and with despairing hope com- menced taking your medicine. I began to improve from the first bottle, and in short time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared off and was entirely we'll.
 One year ago case of catarrh developed in my system. The physician did his best, but could not cure me; but two bottles of Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.

GRIss0H's BIOGRAPHY.
Counsel Fuller Commences II and
Counsel WaddeIl Finishes II.

| Col. Waddell. counsel for tho
prosecution in the Grissom trial
puts in the following paragraph
in answer to Col. Fuller, counsel
for the defence
The counsel who opened this dis
cIssiOn, speaking Of the history OF
this institution, in connection with q
eulogisiic biography Of DR.. Gris=nm,
said that the unhallowed hands ot
political partisanship had never been
and would never be placed upon 1t,
and he alluded TO that sad period Of
the history Of North Carolian directs
ly after the war when she was hum
bled In the dust. This was an un-
fortunate reference, indeed, for hi
client, and il relieves me from any
obligation not to refer TO subject
to which otherwise / would have
made no allusiOn. Does counsel sup
pose that the people Of North
Carolina have forgotten or ever Will
forget those days, or the part that
his client played in them? Is he
trying to remind us DR.. Griss0m
enjoyed the distinguished honor of
presiding over the first convention
Of those who took possession after
the war, and organized hell in our
State? Does he remember how that
good man and venerable physician,
DR.. Fisher, was displaced from the
superIntendency Of this institution?
How, after much dirty intrigue, the
first notice DIR. Fisher received of his
removal was when that "hairless
colt" Tim Lee, the carpet-bag
sheriff Of Wake county, appeared at
the door Of this institution and
notified him to get out as DR.. Girls
som was ready to take charge?
Verify, it cannot be denied that for
nineteen years past the hands Of
political craftsmanship have not been
laid upon this institution when they
might very well have been, and
no living man has such cause to be
grateful for it as DR.. Gris4om
All this is irrelevant to this case,
but so was the biographical sketch of
DR.. GrissOm as Mason and a physi-
elan, which counsel read, and it is to
complete the biography which he left
unfinished, that / add these little
items
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-07-25

A large number of the citi-
zsns Of Raleigh held an indig-
nation meeting in Metropolitan
Hall on Monday night at the
. action of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Insane Asylum in
acquitting DR.. Grissom. Treas.
A. ID. Jones and editor Josephus
Daniels were called on for
speeches. A committee was
appointed to draft resolutions
expressive OF the sentiment of
the body. No doubt this same
feeling exists to a greater or less
extent all over the state. We
were pressed by several citizens
of Clinton and the surrounding
country to call through TIVE
CAUCASIAN an indignation meet
ing in Clinton, but we did not
think this the best course, but
We do hope that every editor
in the state will fearlessly speak
ont his sentiments in the mat
ter.
In conclusion, we would say
that whether DIR. Grissom is
guilty or not, one thing is GER
tain, that his usefulness in the
position he now holds is forev-
or impaired. Therefore if he is
half the man that he and his
friends claim that he is, he can
not fail to see that it is his du-
ty to the State of North Carroll
ma to resign Immediately.
