 Speaking of legislative affairs, the Republican says:
 Things are getting rather warm in the council. The new circuit court bill was introduced by Car penteF yesterday-and now there are two prison removal bills almost on the councils calendar. Earth, of Apache, has given notice of the sec ond. Unlike the one proposed by Hunt, 1t will not submit the ques- tion to popular vote, but will seek to have the penitentiary removed to Prescott at once.
 Earth claims openly that Car peuter went back on bis caucus promise, which was to vote agalnst the circuit court bills in payment for assistance in killing the prison removal bill.
 Carpenter denies this, pointing possibly with pride'-to his vote against both the old circuit court measures, and maintaining that his new circuit court bill is quite a dIf- ferent measure, which it certainly is is some respects, yet to sll intents ard purposes, Hunt and Earth both claim, that it is but the old measure in a new guise.
 @One thing seems quite certain now-oF as certain as any thing can be on a checker board, that changes almost every hour-and that is that if the bar association gets its cir cult courts, Prescott will get the penitentiary.
 Earth happens to be chairman of the memorials committee, to which the bill has been referred, and he declares that it must be shorn of its new Carpenterisn features and come back to the council as the original bills appeared.
