Is it not just possible that one reason why
Bristow does not go before the committee OF
Congress and tell all he knows is that he
knows nothing worth telling? Grants record

His enemies have had the newspapers for
year, and have used them, but have failed to
throw stain upon the President. Grant ia
not candidate for the Presidency, nor for
any other place that we are aware of, unless
it may be John A. Logan's as Senator from
Illinois. He wants to get through, go to
Europe, and have n good time. If the
weather continues it would not surprise us
to hear that he had turned the whole ma
chine over to Ferry and gone abroad. With
the thermometer at one hundred and sixty
degrees or thereabouts, and both houses in
session, and republicans crying out against
the man they have made President for two
terms, and Hayes not saying word about
the second Washington with Belknap i'm
peached and Robson lowering on the verge
of impeachment-what may not wornout
President do? The prospect of ten months
of Ferry, with his views on finance, should
make us little more tolerant to Grant, who
will live in the splendor ofhistory long after
his accusers have been forgotten.

The London Times, after uttering deep
growl over the confusing telegraphc VIC
tories which have distinguished the fight
on the Servian border, thinks that Serva
will soon be obliged to fight within her
boundary line We had already drawn
the same conclusions from the conflict
ing stories which have come to us by
cable. The truth about the battles so
far has been that while the Servans have
been checked the Turks have not gained
any overwhelming advantage, and until
they are able to bring their superior strength
TO bear ON the main body under
Tchernayeff we shall hear more contradic-
tory stories. A great battle like Sadowa or
Sedan cannot be twisted from its signifi-
cance by the most ingenious telegrapher,
and it is almost rs hard to veil the meaning
of a fight like Gravclotte. Great victories
and great defeats tell their own story. The
march of Prince Nicholas on Mostar is a
curious business, rs the Turks are said to
have practically abandoned that town. If
they have concluded that it cannot be held
it is to be presumed they believe they can
return and take it when they have time and
troops to spare The further the Montene-
grins 90 in that direction the less trouble
will they give Turkey in her attack on
Servis.

Nor RIGHr.-A subscription was circulated day before yesterday, and over sl0O raised to pay surgical aid in the smputaiion ef the limb of person in charge of the County physician. We are not finding fault with the payment of the sum over and above the salary of the physician employed by the county; but with the manner of procuring 1t. The people of Yavapai county have each an equal interest in its welfare, are each entitled to the equal protection Of its laws, and should each In proportion to his or her financial ability bear equally the burdens incl dent Co Its organization. To take care of the sick and unfortunate is one of those obligations, aud if arrangements already made with the County Physician do not cover all contingencies arising from this cause, then the County author ities should provide for the deficiency at public expense, In order that each by taxation may bear an equal part, instead of entailing upon the sym pathetic and kiudhearted au onerous burden, that divided among all the people would be but a trihe.

Neither precept nor example will check the waywardness of vicious COW when she is mad neither is she respector of persons, but is as prone to pursue beauty in fine array, on the way so Sabbath school or church, as the rough vis- agei and friendless wayfarer in soiled and rag ged garb. An instance in point occurred not long since within our knowledge, where Bibles, prayer and hymn books and finally Sabbath school book, entitled "Steps Hoineward" were employed as missils to stay the fury of mad deued brute in close pursuit of flying innocence, but these sacred appliances had no more visible effect upon the totally depraved creature than though they had been the wicked devices Of the worldly and profane.

This distinguished gentleman ad-
dressed our citizens at the Court
house on Friday last. Col. Bailey's
reputation as profound jurst, ripe
scholar and enlightened statesman had
preceded him, aud our citizens ex-
pected to hear something decidedly
above the average, but we do not think
that they were prepared for the ear
nest, logical and eloquent effort that
he made. He reminded his hearers
of the good old days of Aaron V.
Brown and Jas. X. Polk. He occu-
pied an elevated plain throughout his
discussion of State and Federal poll
tics, without once lowering himself to
the level Of the demagOgue. The
ideas that he advanced upon govern
mental affairs stamped him as keen
observer of the current affairs of the
day and a statesman with the ability
to grasp and direct them for the good
of the people and the glory of our in

with one so desperate as Morris ap-
peared to be.


The testimony elected by the State
was substantially the same as publish

after the murder transpirod. the facts
being that Morris called twice at the
residence Of the murdered woman and
demanded admission. On the second
occasion he was armed with

he, acknowledged to having
stolen from the Poydras Market, and
rushed into the house, burst open an
