The Federal Court,

Gila county that are somewhat unreas- onable It is asserted that the distance IS so great that it works hardship to witnesses and jurors, but these same objections would apply to its location at Globe with equal force. Indeed the circumstance greatly favor the present arrangement, for the small cost of liv- ing at Florence is m object of consider alton to the people called hither by the business of this court, as our Globe correspondent clearly shows. Hereto fore the people of Gila county were compelled to go to Phoenix, by way of Florence, to attend the federal court, while they will hereafter be compelled to journey less than half that distance. The bnlk of business from Graham county before thGt tribunal is composed of Indian cases which, to reach Globe, must pass through the Indian rcaerya. ton and therefore subject to attempts at rescue by friend of the prisoners. By the usually travelled route to Flor euce they would hazard no such risk. After all, Uncle Sam makes liberal allowance for trapelug expenses and it will likewise b. worth something to the people of Graham county to enjoy the society, climate and beautiful surround inga of this pleasant little city Flor enee Enterprise.
 We hardly expect that anything we can saying the interest of onr people on cn this question gill avail any benefits. Judge Eibbey lives at Florence and he will hold tine court there if he has pow er to do so, The Enterprise has failed to advance one rcasos in justification of the action of the supreme Court ip naming Florence IS the judicial head quarters of the Second District instead of Globe. Globe is nearer to four filth of the people than Florence, ani con be reached with less expense and without any more discomforts on the trip.
 The statement that "the bulk of bus mess from Graham county before that tribunal is composed of Indian cases which, to reach Globe, must pass through the San Carlos Indian reserys- ton and therefore subject to attempts at rescue by friends of the prisoners, ? is thin and gauzy to all who knows the facts. All the Indian eases fer the fed eral court, nomatier where fl Is located, will originate at the Indian agency, which is near the center of the Fesctya. tion; Indians wanted for crime would first be brought to the agency sy the Indian police nnd tbere delivered to the marshal. Viii the cditor of the Enterprise contend that there is more danger of rescue between the Agency and the reservation line on the Globe stage road, than there IS between the Agency and the reservation line on the stage road to Tbomasf
 The Enterprise tantaIi2es an injured people when ii states that Uncle Sam makes liberal allowance for tray- cling expenses, and for it's benefit. and for the information of those who may be eailel upon to go to Florence, We viii throw litte light on that subject here. To travel from 5olomonylle ia Floree will cost g man as follows:
 Solomonyille to Bowie, 40 miles, 55.0J Supper and bed al Bowie, loo Bowie to Casa Graude, I1) ri!es, 7.50 Breakiost at Casa arande ... 90 Casa Graudo to Florence . 500
 Total. .......... ,...,.s eIE0o
 Uncle Ssm's libegsgty u paying travelling expenses consists of } cents per mile, and no more. The distance is 230 miles, which at } cents T mile comes to $ll50, leaving om Graham ita ont just S5.50, or Sll.0J for the round trip; and these figures do aos cover a single cigar or '.yaller drink on the way,
 Globe is the proper place for the federal court of the Second District, moi only on account of the nearness and accessibility to the great body cf the people in the district, but because of the great saving in the expense of the conrt. The court held ct Globe. in our opinion, will cost Uncle Sam le5s than half the amount which will be se- quired to foot the bills at Florence.
 Graham county is much the largest in the district, yet we are to be forced rom one end of the district to the other to attend court for no otltr leGson than the benefits we are to receive from the society, climnte and beautiful sur roundings of Florence.
 Ci1ye us a rest.
 Give us the federal court at Globe

 Who says there can be no honesty in d legislative third house?" It is given on good authority that the people of Wilcox subscribed n pnrse and placed il in the hands of s. R. DeI.ong to be used in Phoenix in the interest of Miles county. Mir. DeLons weptto Phoenix, looked over the ground and found that funds would not avail against the pop ular opinion there against county divis. ion, whereupon he tied granger knot around the mouth of the Wilcox sack
