THEY ARE SMOOTH BORES.

The Republican, like all suc- cessful newspapers, has a lot of snarling, yelping papers at its heels ready t3 bite whenever op- portunity offers. Some of these smooth bore sheets exist in Phoenix. Having missed their opportunities to build up good properties their sole aim now is to belittle the standing Of The Republican in this community. Opposition of this character is welcomed by The Republican. It helps legitimate newspaper enterprise. The people are bound to make comparisons, and com parisons between The Republican and it's contemporaries are ir- vited by this newspaper, whether the basis be circulation, general appearance or the volume of news. Our claim cannot be dis puted-that the paid circulation of The Republican exceeds that of the Gazette and Herald com bined.
 The Republican is the only newspaper in Arizona that gives all the news, every day iI the year

CARTER'S PRIVATE PAPERS
Will be Dragged Into the Court-martaI Tr-i
 Now in Progress.

Savannah, Ga., Feb. 15.-The private pa- pers of Capt O. M. Carter are to pass in review before the courtmartial now as- sembied here to try him for his alleged misdoings while stationed at Savannah.
 The court so decided today after argu- ments by Judge Advocate Barr and Mr. Blair, the attorney for the accused. One letter was read under this ruling. It was from Col. B. D. Greene and referred to proposed work in Chili. This was nothing very damaging. When the government tried to introduce letter from Captain Carter to Captain Greene further objection was made and the court had to retire again. The arguments on each side were very able and the attendance upon the hearing was large.
 At the conclusion Of the arguments be tween F. F. Blanr for Captain Garter and courtmartial recided to admit a letter from B. D. Greene to the accused relating to the price of dredging, and a trip by John r. Gaynor to Chili.
 MT. Blair had contended that the paper. with others was seized in violation of Cap tain Carter's personal rights and also in violaton of an act of congress of March 16, 1878, which says specifically no man shall Joe made to testify against himself before courtmartial or any other court.
 Colonel Barr held that the army Is a despotism to a certain extent and that wheaga man enters it he loses many of his civil rights.

Mir Cox (dem. Tenn), from the commit tee on banking and currency, called up a bill to "better control and to promote the safety of national banks.''
 The bill provided that no national bank shall make loan to the president or any other officer or employ of the bank until such officer or employe has submitted the proposition for the loan in writing to the directors and it has been approved by a majority of them, and in no case shall the loan exceed the amount permitted by law. The report of the comptroller, MT. Cox said, showed that 90 per cent. of the fail- ures of national banks were due to the ap- propriating or absorption of the banks funds by its officers. A similar bill had twice passed the house and had once pass ed the senate with an amendment. The bill was passed. Discussion arose over the committee amendment striking out the word "direetors" The directors as well as the officers, were subject to the restrictions of the measure in its original form, but the committee recommended that directors be stricken out.
 On the Same Footing.
 MT. Johnston, of Indiana, Mir. Cox, MT Fitzgerald and others thought the directors of bank in regard to overdrafs should be on the same footing as the officers. The word directors" was retained in the bill and it was passed s5 to Ss.
 MT. Ball (dem. Texas), from the commit tee on f1VerS ana narbDfS preSenteu d IeoO- lution calling upon the secretary of war for an estimate of the cost of creating a channel 100 feet wide at the mouth of Double bayou, Galveston bay, and it was adopted.
 bill presented by the committee on merchant marine and fisheries was passed amending the law relating to the licensing of mates of ocean and river steamers.
 MT. Loud (rep). from the committee on posoffices and postroads ca,ied up the bill to make It lawful to transmit through the mails private postal cards with 1-cent stamp affixed. The bill was passed.
 The Bankruptcy Bill.
 At this point MT. Dalzell (rep.) of Penn sylvania, asked for a modification of the order for consideration of the bankruptcy bill (which begins tomorrow) by which the final vote should be taken on Saturday 1n- stead of Monday as originally ordered with the understanding that Monday should be private bill day. Agreed to.
 A bill was passed empowering registers and receivers of general land offices to is sue subpoenas and compel attendance. A bill was passed repeating the statute re- quiring affirmative proof of loyalty by the holders of bounty or land warrants.

EPISODE OF THE WAR.
The Last Night of n Southern Soldier
on the Hattie Field of NAL
vcrn Hill.

Don't leave me, captain! Oh, don't
leave me!"-the words came to me with
an agonized shrek from bleeding and
dying confederate soldier on the even
ing of the great battle of Malvern hill,
July /, 1862. He was a mere boy of
II years, and lay in heap, gasping
for the breath which was fast leaving
him, along with the rays of the sun
light, on that sad and memorable day.
l, for whom that piteous cry was meant,
was a staff officer of the brigade to
which the Louisiana regiment, the
boys regiment, was attached.
Well mounted, l was galloping back
across that bloody field to report the
duty I had performed, when suddenly
arrested in my course by the voice of
despair and woe coming from my
