COUNT ROUSETT DE BOULBOU.
Written for THE REPuBLIcAsl

| Written for THE REPUBLICAN,
 In the palmy days of San Francisco there was no more picturesque figure in Madam Payat's salon, on Commercial street, than the French Count, Raussett de Boulbou, young, handsome, titled, bursting with Gallc pride and ambitious to found new French empire on the Pacihc.
 The French had always had an eye on Mexico, and the disorganizatlon of the republic following the expulsion of Santa Ana offered an inviting field of adventure for French as well as American "filibus- teros." The French Count made a con- tract with the Mexican authorities of the State of Sonora to form a military colony on the northern frontier for the ostensible object of protecting the Mexi. cans from the Incursions ol the savage | Apaches. That was before the McxI- can Government had ceded that part of Arizona south of the GIla river to the United States.
 The French had participated in the early prosperity of California and money was abundant for the equipment cI IIlr ardent and restless population of Cali iornia who would, at that tip:e, have un- dertaken to initiate Cortez or Pizarro, and would not have hesitated at essay ing the conquest of Asia. The French Count soon enlisted 20J or 300 French men in his scheme and they sailed from San Francisco for Guaymas and thence marched to the fabled gold and silver mines described in Spanish history as existing in the mountains i'etween the Gulf oI California and the Rio Grande. The French military col ony did not find the promised land overAowing with milk and honey, nor were the gold and silver mines sutIi- cienty accessible to load the ships in which they came with PingOts d' or nor ptdnchdS de pldtd. Pinole and jerked beef formed an unsatisfactory exchange from the Cafe of Paris, or even the crude fare of San Francisco, and when the French stomach is not appeased the French brain runs riot. The sands and sun of Sonora did not add tranquility to the ambitious Gauls, and dlscontent soon culminated in contention with the Mexican Government.
 General Iaiies was sent from Mexico to snpercede Governor Gandara in the military command of Sonora, and the French military colony was ordered out of the country. The French coant could not brook this insult and prepared to avenge the insulted French honor. The Frenchmen marched from the frontiers to Hermosillo, where the Mexican troops had formed an ambuscade be- hind the adobe walls of the Alameda, and "welcomed the Frenchmen with bloody hands to hospitable graves" The French count was tried by military courtmartial and shot at Guaymas in 1854. This ended his career.

FoR wonder, the Los Angeles Times publishes the letter of Messrs. Baker & Campbell in reference 10 the pardon of Henry Miller, correcting that paper in it., insinuations against Acting Governor Murphy in issuing the pardon. True to its record for venom and malice, and for sticking to lie when once told, how yer, it attempts to break the force of the letter by bringing up alleged state- ments of Miller since his last arrest. Yet it says in speaking of his former conviction in Arizona:
 Miller confessed the crime and the evidence of Dr. Hurley was enough to show that he was anything but novice. pr. Hurley could cer. tainly have been found had he been wanted . The fact that Miller had been convicted and sentenced to twelve years imprisonment shows that his crime had been one of more than ordi. nary character. ..
 With it's usual facility for laundering the Times contradicts itself in it's state- ment. It says the evidence of Dr. Hurley was enough to convict, and then In the next line says his evidence could easily have been obtained. What need was there to call witnesses when the prisoner plead guilty, we would like to ask. As Messrs. Baker & Campbell ex- plain, Miller's action in returning to Casa Grande by daylight and remaining in that little village where the presence of any stranger would be noticeable cer- tainly did not appear like the act of an old hiahwayman. Again. referring to his sentence of twelve years as punish ment fora more than ordinary crime, the Times would know, if it took occasion to look beyond it's overcbarged gall bag, that such sentence for stage robbing IS not at all severe for Arizona, fourteen years being the usual sentence for such ohense. Altogether the statement of the paper is but reiteration of it's over charged venom which il has to turn against Arizona on every occasion.

It affords pleasure to the management of TIE REPuBLIcAN to be entitled to ac- knowledge a steady and marked increase in the circulation. This, doubtless, is the best, as it is the most substantial, evidence that cou,d be given that it is gaining the approval and confidence of the people. The more SC. is this gratify- ing, as the new subscribers rank among the best and most substantial residents of Arizona; these invariably have mani tested their kindly feeling, not simply by becoming subscribers, but by their accompanying favorable and kindly ex- pressions of appreciation.

SAYS the San Francisco BulleiiR "The speakers at the Mormon Conference al Salt Lake adjured their hearers to stand by the priesthood and pay tilhes. The Mormon Church wants obedience and cash to carry on it's conflict with civili- zation. Apparently some of the saints must be falling off in both under the in- tiuence of the law of tine land, which is cutting into the rule of the hierarchy. The real estate boom has also brought a good deal of new blood and ideas into Salt Lake. The country districts are still loyal to Mormonism, but the iphu- ence of the city is bound to spread"

Railroad Rumblings.

From the Prescott Courier.
 This paper does not know what Mir. Bullock's intentions are. When he was in Phoenix a short time ago, he asserted that he would lose no time in extending his Prescott and Arizona Central rail- way from Prescott to Phoenix, via Agua Fria and Big Bug. Also, that he would construct a narrow-guage from Prescott to Bradshaw. This for the subsidy of 5000 mile. It is now fine weather for surveying, building, etc., and we want to see the Little Giant" tackle those big jobs. We want him to start all roads from this valley, tle best wa tered and most beautiful in the Prietta mountains. Our people have stood out for the high mountain route for the main line, but, with a 36-inch guage road over the best part of it, and the main line connecting us with Black Hills. Verde, Agua Fria, Big Bug. Black Canon, Tip Top, New River, Salt River, the Gila, San Pedro and Santa Cruz valleys, this will be veritable hub.

TIE Tucson Star we'll says: "If a correct history of this Territory is ever written, the old pioneers must take a personal interest, as much of the history is known only to them, and by them il should be reduced 10 writing if it is to be perpetuated, for the time is coming when they will all have passed over the river, and if they fail in this duty to then- selves and posterity the knowledge they only possess will, with their death, pass into oblivion"
