Orange County Court.

Orange county court concluded its session
on Thursday, July 30, after session of fifty
eight days-the longest term on record.
The last panel of jurors was discharged after
fifty days attendance and the earlier after
an attendance of forty-one days. Hearings
in divorce cases constituted the only witness
cases, that of William F, Davis as Adelaide
r.. Davis occupying three days. The cause
alleged was willful desertion, and the defence
that the wife had reasonable ground for be-
lieving her husband was committing
adultery with Mrs. Nancy Gustin, woman
living at Union Village (Thetford). The
court dismissed the petition, though eX-
plicitly averring that they found nothing
improper in the relations of Mrs. Gustin
and Mr.. Davis. j. II. Watson and X. NJ.
Harvey for petitioner; Hunton & Stickney
for the petitonee. The petition of Laura
j. Curtis for divorce from Ellis Curtis was
denied the court being unable to find any
refusal to support. Boyden for petitioner.

sioners S. @. Shurtleff, III G. McDuffee and
w. III. Gilmore as damages sustained in
putting in the village water-works But as
this was the amount found by the other
commissioners, from whose award the Pc
titioner appealed, the costs of defendant

given to defendant. Exceptions were al

Montpelier in Politics.

Montpeier's late experience in state and
county conventions should lead her people
to reflection reflection should bring wisdom
and wisdom should devise reforms that will
not only bring the town into more harmoni-
GUS relations politically with the state and
county, but into closer accordance with the
real local sentiment. In the late political
conventions Montpelier republicans have
not been fairly represented. In the county
convention, two years ago, the town was
delivered over to the opponents of DR.. w.
A. Jones for senator, when in no town in
the county had that gentleman more sup
porters or stronger friends than in Montpe-
lier. The better sense, the majority ele-
ment of the town, felt outraged by the course
of its delegates on that occasion. The peo-
pie had no personal objection to DIR. Jones
competitor, He was clean and able man.
but they preferred DR.. JONES' and the
county convention righted the wrong and
gave them their preference.
The prostitution of the caucus preceding
the state convention is fresh in the recol-
lection of the people. Montpelier was un-
questionably in favor of the nomination of
Mr.. Page for governor, but by small ma
jority, through tactics that have now be-
come well known, an opposing delegation
was chosen. The state convention gave
the people the candidate of their choice.
Montpelier delegates were again in the
minority, while the people were with the
majority and rejoiced in the final triumph.
At the caucus to choose delegates for the

A recent Washington dispatch pre-. sents Lieut.. kennor, of Crooks staff, as an accoucher of an opinion of the General for the edifcation of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, in which the Apache question, from Crook standpoint, Is discussed, and m which he takes tllt at Gen Miles. He said that Miles began and energet- ieally prosecuted the campaign for months without gaming step until, having exhausted all other means he employed two Chlricahua Indians through whom he communicated with the hostiles and secured their surron- der. Kennor might trulhfully have added that seeing the better way, Miles pursued il, but. unlike Crook, was not so mentally opaque as to trust in noted cutthronts as his agents, Peace hath it's victories, and Miles victory over the Chiricahua Apaches is one of them.

The kick over pocket veto" by the late Governor, Zulick, although seem- .ingly having expended itself, yet is likely to be revived, the legality of the act having been questioned. It is pertinent. therefore, to refer to the first pocket veto, May 1880, by Presi- dent Jackson, who first gave effect to this constitutional method of strang- ling objectionable legislation, In Jacksons 5 case, as in that of Zulick, the right to pocket was exercised when the time of final adjournment of the enacting power came within the pre- seribed ten days. And strange-as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the legality of a pocket veto, under such circumstances, has never been disputed since that time (50 ysars) un- til the present instance. Nor can it legally be questioned for the reason that section z article 1, of the consti- tutlon ot the United States recognizes the right to thus dispose of objection able legislation There is, however, at issue, relating to Arizona, the question of the legal life of the legislature. That determined, the question will be settled, and Congress now has the mat ter under consideration and, perhaps, wlll legalize all acts passed alter March Fist, 1889.

John Jacob Astor, eldest son of William B. Astor and grandson of plain old Jake who founded the for tunes of the family, died in New York, February 22d, of heart failure. Jake, junior, at the time of his death IS re- ported to have heen worth S200,000,. GOO. John Jacob, senior, at the time he arrived il New York in 1763, was not well het led; his stock Tn trade con sisted of six flutes, fiddle, and flag elet, and upon thls outfit judicionsly handled, he fructified and enabled a succession of Astors from the parent stock to take airs upon themselves and presume upon being superior to their neighbers.

Mark Smith, our delegate in Con- ,gress, is now exerting his influence to saddle Arizona with statehood and, therefore, it IS beyond question that he is not in accord with those who elected him as their representative. In an interview with Washington correspondent of the New York Her. aid, he is reported as saying ia heap of things" in florid language-which appears in that journal and not war ranted by the situation here, and which no we'll informed man cogni- zant of the facts will for a moment credit. If Mark speaks truly, the wealth and population necessary to entitle Arizona to become state must be hidden, in deep retreats, from gen sral observation.

DISASTROUS wAsHoUfs.

The Albuquerque Citizen, of the 24th, publishes disprteh from a cor respondent at Wiuslow, stating that the Little Colorado river, usually about thirty feet wide, was then two miles wide, cloud burst having caused rise in the river of seventy. two feet in two hours. One hundred and fifty feet of the west end of the A. < P. bridge and fifty feet of the embankment east of Winslow were washed away. West of Winslow the Walnut canyon bridge is gone, and fifteen houses in Flagstaff are two feet under water, Tn consequence of heavy ram and snowfall.

 DUE TO IMPERFECT CONTRACTION

The breaking of the Walnut Grove dam, in Yayapai county, as alleged, by Luther Wasoner, member of the Technical Society of the Pacific Coast, was the result of imperfect construc- ton. He sad:
 "On testing the stability of the dam, l found that with several feet of water above bedrock 1t leaked III inches This alone was enough to condemn the work. Various theories were ad- Yanced for the cause of the leakage one being that through the settlement of the masonry 3 RssE.e had been forced at the junction of the inclined
 nd horizontal skins or planking, while another was that 1t leaked all over the surface. The machinery for draining the water was also utterly inadequate, and the men who were supposed to do the cementlng to bed rock told me that they had worked in four feet of water, and that they did not go to bedrock. One of the sub contractors known as Whoop-'em-up- Jack assured me the work was we'll done. When l was called in to advise on the work 1 found it as have stated to you, and advised the company to get rid of Nagle < Leonard, the con tractors, but this they did not do be- cause, as 1 afterwards found out, they had already oyerdrawn their account Robinson, the engineer in charge, who was worthless drunkard, was shot guned out of the place, and l met him here tSan Francisco few days ago begging for money to get meal with The only thing l could do without pulling the whole thing down was to advise the company to cut a large waste way and put the loose rock be- low tue dam to strengthen the weak places, which they did. You can get some idea of the situation of affairs when I tell you that the contract for the dam proper was for 46,000 cubic yards Jumped at $40 a cubic yard The skin and cementing was extra. Lumber cost about S15 delivered at the dam, and was cut at an elevation of from 5000 to 5000 feet on the Brad shaw mountains and was of'a very poor and knotty quality. On 5000 worth of cement, S2000 freightage was paid. Labor was quite unreliable, perhaps owing to the presence of saloons and gambling places and the totally inadequate provisions made for the comfort of the men by either the company or the contractors. This, coupled with tue intense heat and posr water and food, did not offer sui ficlent inducements to attract sober and reliable class of wOrkmen, point too often overlooked in the cOnStruc- ton of a large work As far back as October ,. 1888, Tread paper embody- ing the views l am giving you, before the Technical Society of the Pacific Coast, and l will add that also then warned the company of the dangerous condition of their dam"
 The number of lives lost by the catastrophe of last Saturday morning, so far as known, was about sixty. The force of the flood can be imagined by the fact that all the romans of the drowned were more or less mutilated, while of some only fragments have been recovered. Many bodies, doubt less, have been buried in the sand, and some were found a distance of twenty i've and thirty miles below the breast q the dam.

THE MANLY AIT.

Slugging, as an art, seems to have taken root in America slnce 1858, when John Morrissey battered the human face divine of John C. Heenan, "the Benicia boy" It has fructi6ed and encompassed the Yankee conti- nent It is beautiful science and has done much to create demand for raw liver, arnica, aconite, capcicum, belladona, and leeches.
 Previous 10 800 A. D. the Roman populace was entertained by gladiat- ors, in the ring, who were framed, first with wooden swords and then with steel, and sworn to fight 10 the death, When one of the combatants was disarmed or upon the ground, the victor looked to the Emperor, if pres ent, or to the people. for the signal of death. The thumb raised meant that the l,ie of the defenseless man should be spared, the thumb turned down. wards meant death. The extent and magnifcence of those entertainments will be realized by the fact that upon one occasion Julius Caesar, finding his popularity waning, in order to rein state himself in the hearts of his peo- pie, gave a show of 320 couples in mortal combat. Trajan, ambitious to eclipse all other exhibitions of the kind gave one in which 2000 persons con tended in deadly strife for the amuse- ment of 10000 Romans.
 The populace are now entertained by the courtly appliance of bone and muscle When contestant is knocked down he is carried to his corner, spunged and otherwise stimulated for renewed efforts, and although having lost an eye, or suffered broken nose, severed lip or dislocated wrist, if game, responds to the call of time, and if in luck, knocks, his opponent out, when his happiness IS completed by be- ing heralded by moral editors of secu lar newspapers as the coming man.
 Morrissey's luck afforded him the opportunity of resting his shins be meath congressional mahogany, and becoming a favorite of the Speaker of the House who, when selecting com mittees, acceded to MorriSsey' s request to give him something easy, where the least work was required, and placed him on the committee on reyo- lutionary claims, for which act of kindness Morrissey privately thanked the Speaker, and so grateful was he that he proffered his services to knock out the first member who objected to his ruling horrissey died Tn May 1878, He was noted for the largeness of his fists and heart and ambition to do good work in the ring. He sur vived his friend and patron, Commo- dore Cornelius Vanderbilt, only seven months, neither of whom had drunk of Helicon's harmonious waters, and, therefore, were genial companions. Since then, tune rolls its ceaseless course, and notwithstanding, their deaths, the fStic ring has lest none of its interest. Slugging and betting go on as usual, and are likely to con tinue as long as mortal mixture of earths mould is paid to be dumped for the entertalnmo. an $ rude and savage nature.

Commissioner Grof, of the general land office, has rendered decision in the notorious Peral'a grant case in Arizona. in which he holds that no grant of tue characttr claimed was ever made. He decided against the claimants on this very point and or ders the case stricken from the Sur veyor-Generals docket The claim embraces four niiilion acres of land in the central part of Arl2ona. Owing to innate laziness of former eommis- sioners the clam" long after 1t was demonstrated as an attempted swin
 dle, was pernutted to remain cloud, for years, on ,he destines of Central Arizona, and doubtless, had it not been
