TnE report of the secretary Q! tn.

THE report of the Secretary of the
 Interior, in speaking of Arizona, says,
 among other things: "The affairs of
 Arizona are in very unsatisfactory
 condition because of the want of con
 fidence in the validity of the laws, in-
 cluding even those for collecting revenue for it's Territorial government" The honorable secretary has evidently
 been deceived regarding the cause and effect. The people of Arizona had not
 discovered any "want of confidence in the validity of the laws" and they lived peacefully and harmoniously un- der them and the revenues were promptly collected, until the present executive attempted to set up per sonal government in total disregard of 5the law. If there is want of conf- sdence in the validity of the laws, Gov.
 Volhey inspired it. But this is not The animus of the appeal for congress 4ional interference. The question of
 he legality of the laws is not within (he province of executive determine 4ion until the courts have pronounced 4hem illegal, and the interest Cover hor Wolhey is taking in remedying .1hlleged defects in the laws springs from
 a very unsatisfactory condition" of his own creation. He appointed a ! iual set of territorial officials without Lawful authority to do so and presistent- fly refuses to recognize those lawfully ! appointed by his predecessor in office Saiis inconsistency is shown by the fact
 at he maintains the legality of his Iswn appointments made and confirm.
 II long after the sixty days of the Legislative session had expired, which
 haracter of legislation is made the basis of his invocation for congressiona, hction. In other words he enforces sacts that he declares illegal and re
 fuses to enforce acts whose legality ii unquestioned. This revolutionary act of the Governor is the sole cause of the jeopardy of collecting revenue fol it's territorial government" and in iti harmful results it constitutes ample grounds for his immediate removal anC the appointment of q competent mar in his stead. \ srgumen

A WOMAN
Jumps Into the Mississippi River to Save
Hor Personal Property.

Hor forhonnl properly,
Mrs. Julia Baptist, of Osceoa, Ark,
took deck passage last week on one of the
beautiful and elegant Anchor Line steamers
for Natchez, Miss, carrying with her all OF
her household goods, consisting mostly OF
furniture, some OF which was very elegant
and bctokcncd better days. The boat was
loaded 10 the guards aud every conceiva.
bic space was occupied. 10 the left Of the
Jack staff and on the very edge Of the boat
could be seen lovely sidrboard Of antique
oak with u handsome bcvcl mirror aud
marble top. In making very short turn
| the boat was considerably shaken up and
| the sidcboard was accidentally thrown into
the river. Mrs. Baptist WIS heard to
scream, alarmed, and assistance went 10
her Immediately. She implored the Cap
tain, Mate and deck hands TO save her
sdcboard, which was floating rapidly down
the river. No one seemed willing
10 jump into tho river, and ar
engagements were being made 10
lower the yawl, aud without moments
warning, Mrs Baptist jumped into the
chilling water aud, 10 the great surprise OF
everyone, swan swiftly down the river,
oycrlnking the sidcboard, ON the top OF
which she climbed, yelling all the time for
the boat TO come and get the sideboard.
The steamer finally overlook the floating
lady and with great difficulty she and the
precious piece al furniture wcro replaced
on the vessel. The captain seemed greatly
annoyed at her rash aud foolish act, aud
ccnsurcd her very severely, telling her
she had almost lost her life To regain the
sidcdoard. She replied that she would as
soon drown as lose the furniture. for she
had purchased II from the Armstrong Fur
niture Company, oi go Second street,
Memphis, Tenn, which was the largest
OF the kind in the South
and sold the best and cheapest goods, but
10 replace the piece Of furniture immcdi-
ntcly would bc nm impofsibihiy, as II had
been manufactured by thom expressly ior
her
