Arizona Weekly Citizen from Tucson, Arizona • Page 2

The Citizen. MtDAT, JIAY 10, 1673. Cliccrlnc Knil Ronil Sohh. The time has come when the in. creasing importance of Arizona de mands better and more rapid means ofl travel and transportation.

Every resi dent of our vast Territory appreciate this fact, and railroad men are begin ing to feel that they cannot afford to lose time in parley and legislation. The present is no tithe for us to oppose or object to a strong railroad cor poration because another imaginary company might possibly benefit us more in uie long run. It we had a choice of several good companies we might then discuss their respective merits and express our preference, but from our best information xvc may state that onlv one railroad is liable to penetrate the interior of Arizona for some years to come. The Texas Pacific cannot build without government aid and there is little or no possibility of that aid being extended, while on the other hand we have recent reliable assurances that the Southern Pacific Railroad will commence extending their road eastward from Yuma as soon as Congress adjourns, whether they get the desired legislation or not. They intend to build to Maricopa "Wells and rest there until there is a good pros pect for another company to meet them at the Rio Grande.

The present outlook indicates that the rest at Maricopa Wells will be brief, for the Colora do and New Mexico papers are full of railroad extension news, and there is now a hot strife between the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company and the Denver-Rio Grande Company as to which road shall possess the most feasable route westward. trr. i we connucniiy expect mat a year hence the iron horse will be within forty miles cf Florence, and we are much mistaken in our probabilities if the next three years does not witness the completion of a Southern Transcontinental Railroad. Trillium Coutrnxt. The San Francisco Post lately referred to the Rio Grande border troubles and wound up this wav: The condition of affairs affords a marked contrast with the good feeling and peace that prevail along the northern line of the Mexican republic.

So-nora and Chihuahua, especially the lormer, are entering on a new era of neighborly feeling and prosperity. Along the border of Arizona and So-nora increased activity in mining anl trafiic of all kinds prevails. General Rosencranz is engaged in the examination of Sonora coal deposits at the instigation of San Francisco capital. Old mines and placers abandoned during the Apache incursions by their American owners and lessees, are being reopened and worked. Railroad projects between the gulf of California.

Tucson and the Rio Grande are being pushed with activity. President Diaz has wisely appointed a Consul at Tucson, Arizona. All these things are in striking contrast with the disorderly and filibustering spirit that prevails along the Te.an frontier. To ex-Go v. Safford more than to any tether man is due the credit of having uiuuul uuuui jjuaec anu security on the Sonora border, and for making it even unsafe for bad men to steal and murder on one side and then escape to the other side of the Sonora and Ari zona line.

llnlfn Year. Our last number closed the first six months issue cf The Citizen in Flor ence. Being new at the business we have found considerable more hard work than wo had expected, and have met some annoyance and difficulty when least looked for. While on the other hand we have received frequent anu iioerai am anu encouragement. 3 1 1 so that on the whole we have no cause to complain.

Financially our wo.k ha9 been a success and if our patrons are satisfied with our past efforts and will continue their prompt and lit eral support, we shall be glad to serve them through another half year, and per haps through a long series of years to the best of our ability. Our steady purpose shall be to furnish our readers with reliable statements regarding our local interests, the most important news ami general usclul information Ch.vmheklaix who was appointed Indian Agent for San Carlos, was twice discharged from the revenue service for drunkenness, aud about the day of his recent appointment got drunk in Washington and did a good deal of foolish blowing. The facts coming to th knowledge of the Commissioner ot Indian Affairs, he advised the President aud the appointment was revok ed. So this Territory thus escaped a serious and dangerous affliction. The Salt River Herald says 3,400,000 pounds of Hour, B.000,000 pounds of barley ana a large amount of fruit is a portion of last year's product in that valjpy.

In is 3-ear the peach crop promises to equal an' in the United States iu proportion to the number ofl trees. The Pxcscott Enterprise says "The AnizoK.v Citizen is a good paper." It has cost us much arduous labor to maintain The Citizen's good name and make our paper always readable and reliable. Gov. SAFFimu has favored us with numerous and valuable public docu. ments.

He has our hearty thanks for these and other favors. "We have received the May number! of the official Roster of troops. It is complete in style and information. Secretary Kveroti Airilctlon. "Washington, April 2C "William Evarts, son of the Secretary of State, died this morninj; at the residence of his father, aged 27.

His funeral svill take place at Windsor. Vermont, on Monday next. Washington, April 30. The funeral of Mr. Evarts' son took place from St.

Paul's Church this forenoon. Sccre tary and Mrs. Evarts were absent having been called to Xew York by the dangerous illness of their other son. Washington, May 1. The Senate yesterday voted to postpone the date when the Bankrupt Repeal bill shall take effect to June 1.

Washington, May 2. Thurman, from the Committee on Judiciary, reported back the bill to repeal the Bankrupt law with an amendment perfecting the clause in regard to rights not to be affected by the repeal of the low, and retaining the amendment adopted yesterday, providing that the repeal of the law shall take effect January 1, 1879. Ordered that the amendment be printed, and the bill be laid over until to-morrow Washington, May 3. The Post says the present arrangement is for Clarkson N. Potter to introduce in the House on Monday, a resolution of investigation into the Presidential election.

The resolution will be accompanied by the original documents, comprising the recent statements of McLin and Dennis. It is proposed to have the resolutions so drawn as to cover the alleged frauds in Louisiana, and, in this connection there will be submitted some sworn affidavits of persons connected with the Returning Board, which have been recently prepared, but have been withheld from the public until the whole subject could be brought before the House. Certain Democrats intimate that these docu ments will create a sensation, and not fall flat like the McLin and Dennis statement. New Yonic, May 2. A Treasury officer mentioned to-day a report that secret negotiations have been for some time on foot for the enlistment of a crops of five or six thousand Irish soldiers to be 9cnt to Russia for service against England, and it was this detective's belief, that the Cinbria would take as return passengers, part ot tins force.

One of the most important courts-martial since the close of the war, will be held in the parlors of the Grand Central Hotel, in this city, to-morrow, being the trial of Gen- eral A. V.

Kautz, recently commanding the Department of Arizona. The prin cipal charge against the defendant is that he violated the Armj- regulation forbidding an officer writing or furnishing for publication any matter regarding military movements, orders, officers, etc. The trial is attracting considerable attention, especially iu military circles, both on account of the high rank of the officers composing the Court and by reason of the peculiar nature of the charges against the defendant. It is the first time in the history of this country in which the question has arisen whether an officer has a right to impugn the motives of his superior, as expressed in official papers. Omaha, May 3.

At the Kautz court-martial to-day the defendant, General Kautz, offered special plea that the charges did not constitute a military offense. Court overruled the plea. Kautz then entered plea of not guilty. Taking of testimonj- begun. Haiders lu New Mexico Come to Grief.

Brownsville, May 2. On Friday last about 200 men assembled at Lamonds, eighteen miles from here on the Corpus Chnsti road, and marched to San Isidro on the river, reaching there about 3 o'clock in the morning. About fifty men attempted to cross the Rio Grande into Mexico. They were led by Rafael Lera. They were met by a party of regulars from Matamoros, and skirmish ensued which resulted in the discomfiture of the conspirators, eight of whom were made prisoners.

Two were wounded and two killed, and three others were drowned in the river in their effortsUo recross. It is understood the object of the raid was to intercept and capture General Canale3, who is on his way from Revnosa to Matamoros.

He was shot through the lungs iu Mexico, and giren up for dead.

Congress voted him a sword for his heroism, but so poor has he become that he has bceu obliged to pawn it for bread. With plenty of opportunity to get rich out of the govern, ment, he has always been a poor man. He now lives in the Congressional District of General John B.

Following dispatch rcfere to a region generally mild even in mid-wi uter: PoutijAND, April 30: Recent re ports from Southern Oregon state that the weather in that vicinity has been very cold. Ice, during the night, has been formed to nearly the thickness of half an inch, and heavy frosts have not been unfrcqueut.

This cold spell has done great damage to fruit crops. A very large percentage of grapes, cherries, plums and other fruit has been destroyed. Itenorts from eastern Oregon and portions of "Washington Territory are not any more favorable. The weather in those regions has been very colu, and great damage was done to fruit. In some localities it was so cold as to freeze twigs through and kill them.

"We arc informed that tho good people of Tucson, have finally decided to build the Presbyterian Church in the Court-house Plaza, and to go ahead with the work as fast as possible. Con tracts for adobes and stone are now be ing filled. On April 25, the speaker laid before the Ilouse a letter from the Secretary of War, transmitting abstracts of re ports in relation to proposed military wagon-roads in Arizona; which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The broadest joke of the year, is The Sentinel's proposition of a trial to carry Pima county for Campbell in Delegate at the coming election. Tho Sentinel's remark was made with a condition, it is true, but even that does not cover up the plain joke.
