The Charlton Leatler, an orthodox
Democratic journal has this to say in
reference to the Walden back pay,
and its return from the School Fund
by the Board of Supervisors of Mari
on County:


x-Congressman Walden seeing
the Juror that the back salary grab
raised, and In view OF the fact that he
might possibly wish to aspire to some
other official position hereafter, gen
erously donated his share of the
steal to the school funds of the re-
spective counties comprising his
District; but the Marion County
Board Of Supervisors, with a Roman
like patriotism, scOrned the ignObie
gift, and ordered the money to be
paid back to him. Thereupon, the
District Attorney and the Atty Cen
eral Of the State gravely inform the
dignilied Board that 1t had no right
to make any such order, aud that the
money was not under its control, and
furthermore that the members Of said
Board were personally liable for the
amount; 50 that In point OF law, the
action OF the Board in making an
appropriation Of money not belong
ing to the county, was bigger steal
than the back-salary grab. It won't
do for officers to be too conscieD tiOus
nowadays, as they may carry their
notions Of propriety to extremes and
get themselves into trouble. II the
money didn't belong to Walden in
the first place, certainly the Board
had no right to order it returned TO
him, knowing it to he stolen proper
ty, and IL it did belong to him, he
certainly had right TO donate Il to
whom he pleased. So that In either
ease the .ilIustrious Board OF official
magnates, an and for Marion County,
has rRade p very conspicuous fool Of
itseM.

BILE conversation with Prince Bis
mark, In which the Prince, after
giving expression to his weariness
of spirit, is made to say:


The truth is, there is not half a
dozen men in Germany-on our side
l mean-who clearly comprehend
the real meaning OF the conflict in
which we are now engaged, and in
which, Notwithstanding our success
thus far, now believe we shall be
beaten. The Emperor does not un-
derstand it and If he did, he would
change sides in moment. The
Crown Prince, perhaps, does under
stand it, but he will put himself on
the other side, if, indeed, he IL not
already there. The fight is Empire
against Church. 1t is fight Of State,
Empire, Monarchy or Republic
against God, and in this fight, State
will get the worst of it, unless 1t sue
ceeds in destroying the idea Of God
and placing itself in His place. We
say that they must have something
to worship. Well, then, let them





all. Let 1t take the place OF the fam
lily az well rs OF the Deity. Let 1t be
the Deity. In two generations, If
we had the field wholly to ourselves,
we could so obliterate the idea Of
God and the imaginary rights be-
slowed on man by Him as their Gre
ator, that the substitution Of the
State in His place would be effected,
and the State, rs in pagan Rome,
would be all in all.


The correspondent, giving in his
own language the spirit Of the con.

says:

it alone was formidable. He said:

From being great leader Of the
South Mr.. Davis is degenerating in
to the greatest enemy to the pros
perity and well being of our section.
All ex-rebels are anxious to cherish
his name with kindness and even
affection, but such speeches as the
one we publish in full in this issue
from him prove him positive enemy
Of the recuperating but yet bleeding
South for, unfortunately, whatever
Mr.. Davis says the Southern people
are held responsible. 1t is useless to
deny or explain. The Southern peo-
pie can only repudiate his utterances
through the press and representative
men, and let the North finally learn
that he represents no one but him

SPEAKING of the recent Evangelical
Council, the ClarksvilIe Chronicle remarks:


"Tbere were In that convention warm
advocates of union of church and state in
this country. Would not Grant cut figure
at the head of the Protestant Church OF the
United States2 His pioRs hsbits Of horse
training, whisky drinking, salary grabbing,
and numerous other unchristian virtues,
commend him highly for such position?
All these would look lovely under his pom
tiical robes-wouldn't they? And yet the
advocates Of the union Of church and state
are totally blind if they do not see in the
future ths probability, if not the certainty,
that the church will have for its head men
OF whom Grant is the prototype. Christ's
kingdom is not of this world, and His
church never was and never will be puri-
ded nor enlarged spiritually by sn alliance
with political Institutions"

BATHING IN COLD wATER.-Noth-
ing is more common than a
custom Of many persons to have
a cold water bath Immediately
after leaving their beds, as a
daily habit. Delicately organ
lied ladies not unfrequently
have established the same
course, considering it conducive
to health. There is an impress
sion that it invigorates the in
diyidual, hardens the muscles,
and strengthens the constitu-
ton. The sudden abstraction
Of caloric or vital warmth in
that way has not only injured
but destroyed more than were
ever benefited thereby. A re-
action, as it is called, glow of
warmth that subsequently fol-
lows, is a direct draft upon the
system to meet a sudden loss
of vitality, and is by no means
so beneficial as theoretically
imagined. A trepid bath

mands, and, therefore, is not in

Following is an extract from report of Lieutenant c. P. Rodgers, quarter master at Camp Grant, to the Chief quartermaster of this department. It is we'll worth perusal as showing what fine bodies of timber are in the Arizona mountains, and of detailing other valuable information:

 The new road leads to a dense growth of timber composed largely of white and sugar pine, red and white fir sufficient not only to supply the wants of this post for all time to come, but, it may be said to be in- eXauStible; the soil is rich, lOamy and cOV- cred with luXuriant grasses, besides in- numerable springs of clear cool water, and situated at an altitude of 10000 feet above sea level. When the road is completed, the very finest kind of timber both for lumber and shingles can easily be got out; trees of any and all sizes can be obtained, some measuring as m uch as five feet through and from fifty to sixty feet in length clear of knots. The timbered part of the summit of Mount Graham is from one to three miles in length, and am con fident that no knowledge ot the quality of timber and soil could have existed pre- viOuS to my first visit. The country here abouts exhibits evidences of having at some remote period been inhabited by a race of people differing somewhat in their manner and mode of living, from the na- tiVeS of the present day. For scenery and salubrity of climate, the location of this post cannot well be surpassed, and the only drawback (but this may not be the case every Summer in the great heat of last June the stream dried up, until the July rains caused a plentiful flow again. This is cited merely to show that repeti- ton may be looked for any season; it is a matter however that can easily be remedi- ed by conducting a supply from it's source in the mountain.

 I hope to be able in about fifteen days to have the road so far advanced, that an am bulance can easily be driven to the mon- ument of the Wheeler Exploring EXpedi- ton on the highest point of Mount Gra- ham. Altitude l0,375 feet above sea level. There is nothing on file on this office to show that reservation has yet been laid off or declared. The Wheeler party with that object in view, l believe, surveyed a few days since triangulatiOn of six miles from the flagstaff Want of time on their part, prevented the completion of tn e square.

 l would suggest that hereafter Stipula- ton be inserted in the contracts of parties furnishing hay that none be cut with hOes," anywhere within the limits of the reservation, as in my opinion it destroys the growth of grass if not effectually, at least for years afterwards in places where obtained by this method. The hay now being furnished this post, is declared to be the very best of it's kind.

editorial note:

 The Pima and Maricopa Indians who | have for so many years been the friends Of

 the whites, and assisted them so essential | ly in Subduing the Apache lShmaellteS,

 now that their ancient enemies have been

 subdued, have concluded to give up their old homes and take up a new home to

 them in the Indian Territory. It might be | interesting to know exactly what has been the immediate and powerful cause of this contemplated migration. Some one has a | big job in it, that is certein. The lands they own in Arizona are of the best kind, well watered, and the climate is delicious. If the Government has been made to sup

 ply these Indians with new home, that the favored ones may gobble up their pres ent ones, the plan can be understood very distinctly.

 The Alta is and has been so friend ly and true to Arizona that THE CITI- ZEN reluctantly corrects the errors in the above, which are these: The In dians named had not concluded to

 "give up their old homes and take up ca new home to them in Indian Ter "ritory j" and those best acquainted with their disposition, feel certain that they never will leave their old homes, even should the four or five who have gone to look at the proposed new home recommend the move on their return. The powerful cause" Is no more than an experiment on the part of the Interior Department in pursuance of the Presidents we'll known policy of collecting as many Indians as possible into Indian Terri tory; and it is quite certain that there is neither a big nor little job in the attempt. The lands they occupy are truly of the best kind, but for the reason that they are not well water ed" in all seasons, the delegation of Indians is now being conducted to the new Territory with @ view to find good lands and plenty of water, and possibly get the Indians referred to, to move there in body. We are pretty certain that so far as the land of the Pimas and Maricopas is con- cerned, no one in Arizona cares to "gobble" it, and very few if any at all of our citizens, care whether they go or remain. Although in some measure nuisances and worthless crea- lures, yet very good people are divid- ed in their opinions as to whether the Territory would be benefited or in jured by their removal.
