fOtice to the Public.

That the public may not be dc eceiyed by false statements, hereby give pulp lie notice that all present and current le- gal demands for the support of the va- rious public institutions, including su- perintendenis or all other employees as passed by the old or Zulich Board are, upon presentation, audited by Auditor Hughes and have been so audited since July last. When there is money in the treasury to the credit of the fund against which the warrant is drawn it is paid in cash; when there is no money the treas urer endorses the warrant and it draws interest from that date, exactly as has been done for two years past.
 The cry that the wheels of business are being blocked, or that there IS any just cause for the depreciation in Terri torial warrants, is false and done by un- scrupulous persons for their own vicious ends. There is no just reason why Ter rtOral warrants should be depreciated. The Territory receives its funds in Jan- uary, February and March, and thathas always been the season for redemption of warrants. The Territory's resources and ability to pay are better to-day than they ever were. So again I say, do not allow vicious misrepresentationsE Ito af- feet your judgment as to the value of your warrants. They are as good to-day as they ever were, and you will get your money just as soon as you would have done had there been no change of ad- ministration. Respectfully,
 LEWIS WOLFLEY. Governor.

To q representative of the Citizen he stated that his firm had received warrants from Auditor Hughes, amounting to about S3,00O, which were disposed of at par to the First National Bank at Phoenix. This leaves no room for further quib- bling on this subject. It is also learned that Mr. s. s.

Messrs. ". ". Porter and II. NJ. Rice returned Saturday evening from q hunting and prospecting trip in the Pinal mountains, covering a period of about ten days They saw but little game, as q band of Apache Indians had passed over the ground but a few days before and carried off everything worth hunting. They were informed by NIT. Robert Irons, at his Pinal ranch that these Indians had shot several of his cattle and few belonging to his neighbors. Word had been sent to the agent at San Carlos, but no attention had been paid thereto. The Indians, numbering about POO are said to be without passes from the agent, and their depredations are liaable to cause trouble, for the annoyance to the settlers is sorely trying their patience.- Florence Enterprise.

TIE killing of Judge Terry and the high stand taken by Judge Saw yer in regard thereto, is liable to result in serious complications of jurisdiction in criminal cases be- tween the States and the general government. The grand jury of San Joaquin county presented q final report a few days since con cerning the ease of Deputy Marshal Nagle. The report says: The facts show that the killing of the late Judge Terry was intentional and deliberate; that while the constitu- ton and the laws of the state re- quire that crimes against its laws should be tried hereunder, the ac- cuSed was taken from the state by a process emanating from the Uni ted States Circuit Court" The re- port continues The United States Circuit Court has decided that Ma gle cannot be tried by the State Courts essentially for the lack of jurisdiction. or the want of juris- diction, from which it is fair to con clude he cannot be tried by any court"

Indian Troubles.

A correspondent writing from Gila Bend says:
 "A few days ago Mr. Beatty tool; up about one murdered head of cattle belonging to the Papago race of Indians and was holding them for damage done by said cattle on his ranch. The trial was to have come up before Justice Murphy on Saturday, September 18th. On the 26th, fourteen of the Popagos came up well armed, on the war Whoop. and ordered Deputy Fields to sur render. They took the cattle from him and hurried them off in the nightin the direction of South Salia. These Indians have been off their reservation for the past three month have left their cattle and ponies to run at large, and thls Lower Gila Bend country has been imposed up on for the last five years by this tribe, their stock continually both ering some ranchman. They very frequently find q man absent from home, steal his grub and ransack his ranch for anything to carry off. The whole tribe are naturally theives. We have asked by peti- ton to have this tribe removed, as there is no agent here to look after them. but so far have acc0mlishcd nothing. This small reservation is d great drawback to this part of Maricopa county. The Indians do not stay on their reservation more than one-tkird of the time. The authorities have beer notified ol this act, and Indian trouble is ex' pected at this place. We hope the good people of Arizona will lend us their assistance in having these Indians removed"

A NOTED writer for the public and the Press hath truthfully said l; " Those who talk well are apt 10 talk much" The above sentence however, is not open to a vice versa; for it is to be observed that ignorant and idle-minded people usually talk necessarily. as if they substituted speech for thought. Now and then we find wise mor- tai who keeps silent for the reason which makes fools Yoluble-ho- cause he has nothing to say-but for the most part, those who have the fewest ideas to express seem in the greatest haste to expose their mental harrenncss.

Education in the South.

During the meeting of the Ma tional Educational Association in this city in July several Northern educators took occasion to assert that the proportion of children en-
 rolled in the public schools, accord ing to population, was largely in ex- cess in the New England States
 over the Southern States. In an impromptu speech of few minutes before the State Educational Asso- citation, Mr. Wharton Jones, of Memphis, denied the assertion, and subsequently,, in an interview in The American, MT. Jones quoted copiously from the report of the United States Commissioner of Education for 1887, and clearly
 proved the falsity of the claim
 made. The report of the Commits
 sioner for the year ending June 30, 1889, has just been fled with the
 Secretary of tie Interior, and the
 report shows that the position ta-
 ken by Mir. Jones was a correct one
 It shows that in the decade from
 1S76-'77 to 1636-'S7 the growth oi
 the educational system outstripped
 the growth of population, the ex-
 cess of enrolment over the increase
 of population, 6 to 14 years of age, being 19.6 per cent. This gain, says the Commissioner, is entirely due
 to the progress of the public schools
 in the two southern sections, and especially to the south central divi- sion in which Tennessee Is included
 The Commissioner adds that the increase of enrolment in this sec
 ton is without parallel, and takes
 occasion to call attention to the fact
 that negro children are apportioned
 an equal share of the school funds,
 with teachers equally well paid, not withstanding the fact that the bur den of taxation is borne almost en- tirely by the whites. We commend the perusal of the Commissioners report to our negro-loving friends in the north and east, who are ever
 anxious 10 denounce the Southern
 people for alleged negro outrages
 They cannot go behind this report, and 1t shows a state of affairs that
 is unparalleled in the history of the world-that childen of ex-slaves are
 being educated by thcir former masters. We also commend to the
 learned New England educators those items in the report which show the enormous increase in the enrolment in the public schools in the south.-Nashville American.

Dual Government.


 off the fence long enough to say:
 "Arizona is today under a cloud Her territorial government is one of conflict. There are two sets of territorial officials claiming title to and exercising the duties of ter ritorial offices, the result of which is that during six months not a dollar has been paid to territorial officers or employes of the terri tory. The contractors who supply the inmates of the territorial pris- on and the insane asylum, the guards and other employees, have been driven almost to the starya- ton line Tie territorial warrants offered them have no value, owing to the conflict of authority result ing from the dual government. The wheels of government are stopped and there does not appear to be any immediate relief. The ques- lion is, how long is this state of chaos to continue?"
 Several more papers-Democrat- ic, Republican and Independent- have printed statements similar to the above. The territory is ali right, with the exceptions men toned. Mining, agriculture, graz ing, numbering, all her great indus tlies, are houriSling, but her gov ernment is badly squabIed, all be- cause to late Governor wanted to punish Prescott by dcpriving her of the capital in an illegal way, and bccanse the present governor Hon. Lewis Wolley, was not satisfied with men and things as he found them, started in wrong, and Is, we fear, too stilf-neckcd to admit the error of his ways-"ways that are dark and tricks that ai valn."
 Shortly after his appointment and confirmation as governor, he came to the territory and, finding that the fifteenth legislature had completed its session, he acqulsced in new meeting of it's Republican members, who straightway proceed ed to fA themselves ill offices which were legally in possession of Demo- crats. This was of course, rcvolu- tionary and, as a Republican paper has said has worked great injury to the party in Arizona. Of course 1t has, but 1t is he injury it has done the territory that troubles a majority of her people.
 And, where was the necessity for such course? Nowhere. Law and order reigncd. Territorial warrants were at a premium and our people were happy. They are now unhappy over the thought that warrants issued by Gov. WolAey's personal auditor, and sealed with what people call a forged seal of the territory are being hawked about the country and traded for little or nothing. Had the Star and other papers done their duty when the WolHey deviltry was be- ing put up in contraband packages the gang might not have played such a desperate game in order to grab q few offices. How 10 remedy evils is what our people would like to know. Some talk of an extra session of the legislature, but that would only tend to make matters worse. So, we appeal to congress to unravcl the knot and give us, once more, free and fair start.- Courier.
