transactions are too vOlumlnOuS eX-

 cept for New York daily, hence we

 must proceed to state few of the

 many reasons why he is so universally

 despised in this county, and why

 nearly every well-informed and re-

 sponsible citizen would, if asked, sign document declaring they would not

 believe him under oath, and why we have before said that as a matter of primitive justice, he ought to be tarred and feathered and escorted out of town on a lively cactus to the music of The Rogue's March.

 All his lying tothe contrary, this peo- pie or its representatives, never found any fault with him for the legitimate performance of any of his l4gal duties in the Camp Grant or any other case, but they did with his illegitimate per formances. He came to Tucson boast full of his power, indicating that if everything did not go as he said, martial law would be declared, and so on and so forth. AS he proclaimed his ability to cirect removals from of flee and who should fill the vacancies, he suggested to certain persons that he could accomodate them with an of flee very soon, as there would soon be a general change. He was quite con- tident of being successful candidate for Congress, and named persons and firms who would support him, Sc. His official course soon excited gen. eral contempt and indignation, and this he had sense enough to discover, whereupon he began to apologize to prominent men for his course, saying in effect that he was doing his duty only; that he did not want to see any one punished who was associated in the Grant affair; that an indictment was necessary to satisfy superior au- thority; that it was a matter of form, &c., &c. At this time, he had to as sist him a Grand Juror whose name is synonymous in this town with every thing that is low and despicable, and who has been expelled from the en- ploy of respecta ble men and firms, and who stands lower in the public esti- nation than any man here. Although Rowell often declared he was simply doing a legal duty, the ink was hardly dry on the indictment, when he began to ply the Attorney Gen. eral and Secretary of the Interior with letters to the effect that Sidney R. De- Long, Post Trader at Camp Bowie, than whom no more upright and hon. orable man lives, was the chief instigator of the Camp Grant Mas sacre; that the despicable creature, before mentioned, had been his Row ell's) most faithful ally in investi- gating that affair, and hence his (Rowells) desire that the Government should reward said creature by giving him MT. Belongs Post Tradership. This was confining himself to his off cial duty with a vengeance. He also caused unjust indictments to be found against men which he felt satisfied to afterwards have dismissed without trial or the receipt of any blackmail and labored hard, with the lone aid of his contemptiblo Grand Jury ally, by the suppression of facts and illegal examinations of books, etc., to have other innocent men indicted, but failed and with probably a single ex- ception, he earned the hearty contempt of the Grand Jurors. A most re- sponsible and leading member of that body declared to us that Powell was "nearest the Evil One he had ever met. A number of the members in many ways expressed their utter adherence of the man. On the Camn Grant massacre trial Charles l
