Fiirllior liirornatlou Couccrnliit; Hie ms I lie rortlon tlie (Ji-nml Jury Jlrportt That poiilou of tho Giand Jury rcpoit yet unfiled, is still occupying a prominent place in the minds and thoughts of the people. It was expected that Mr.

Carr would promptly file tho npoit, when ho learned of tho almost unanimous detnund made for it by tho people of this city. So far however, ho has lulled to do so, anil from tho present appearances it looks as though he Intended taking tho bit between his teeth and making a btcak that himself and friends would long be sory Yestciday a gentleman in this city received a letter liom the late foreman of the grand jury, ftoin which wo arc ucrmittted to tako tho following exttacl: "I did fail to file or hand into the coiut a committee report, and I shall hand it to tho court at tho proper time, but certainly shall tako no advice as to mv actions in tho matter, from any one. I think I know my duty in the matter fully as well as some of my would-be advisors." torn uio nuovc it will Uo seen mat Jir. Carr intends to fteczo on ta the document for some timo longer. In order to keep abreast of the popular demand for information concerning that famous Grand Jury report, an Epitaph reporter girded on his interviewing armor yesterday and tackled Mr.

Alexander Wight, member of tho late Grand Jury. Meeting Mr. AViolit at Hart's cun shop. tho reporter sung out Mr. Wight, might you nave a copy oi mo uranu jury report on tho Recorder and Court Clerk's ofliccs in your pocket If so, you will oblige me by letting uie hayc a look at it for a lew moments.

Mr. Wight I am just as anxious as you nro to see that lcport. I was chairman of tho commlttco that investigated the offices named, and turned over tuo report of tho committee to Mr. L. W.

Carr, the foreman of tho Grand Jury, and have not seen it since. RuronTEii Do you know the substance of tho report? Mr. W. Yes, sir; it was very favorable to Mr. Jones, the Recorder.

His office was found to bo conducted on business principles; his books kept In good shape, and everything properly arranged. The-Clerk's olllco was found to bo exactly the contrary, and extortionate fees charged in every instance. Tho committee examined six lawyers, and all of them swore to paying outrageous fees, and it was our opinion that thorough, systematic investigation snouici 03 niauo anu mo uicric mulcted. R. Had you any conversation with Mr.

Carr on the subject? Mr. W. Yes, sir I. requested to be sworn aud examined myself, as I could testify to paying extortionate fees but Carr showed that ho had -a job put up 'with Seamans, for he said that the latter explained away that matter. R.

Then, why didn't tho grand jury tako hold of tho matter bodily; Jho foreman counted but ono? Mr. It was understood by tho grand Jury that a report should bo mado to the Court calling tor the removal of Scamnns, and on that condition we let tho matter drop. Wo thought if bo was regularly indicted ho would J'reczo on to tho ofllco for several months more and rako in many more dollars that he was not legally entitled to. Under these circumstances, when Carr suggested calling on tho Court for his immediate removal, without indictment, we thought it better to let it go that way. R.

Had you any communication with Mr. Catr since? Mr. W. Yes; I wrote to him for the, report a few days ago, aud ho said he could not give it, but would send' me a cony, I am, therefore, expecting a copy dally, and when it comes I will let you sen it. R.

Is that all you know about tho luultet Mr. W. That is all. Good evening. Xotcs from JSInIici.

1882. Lieutenant Sleever and a smtll detachment of Company Third Cavalry, pitted through heie about ten o'clock this morning, on their return to camp near Sheldon's ranch, which they would reach eaily this afternoon, Lieutenant Steevcr was accompanied on his trip by Mr. Bglauf, of tins placo. Tho Lieutenant's object was to explore tbo Swisshelm mountains, principally with reference to the locatlqn of water, and also to look out for Indian trills. His naity marched across Sulphur Spring valley, but could find no water there, the first day's march therefore terminating at Silver creek, which, Mr.

Eglauf informs us, has much more water this ycarthan last, its distauco from Bisbce being about thiity-elght miles. From there Lieut. Sleever went to San Reniardino; thence lo Stnd Springs, wheio tho water is low; thence to Solomon's Springs, aud back to Bisbee. By tho lime of bis return he will have traveled between 130 and 1-10 miles. Mr.

Bglauf was surprised to find no water in tho tanks along tho drainago Hue of the Sulphur Spring valley; but It was found Hint tho recent rains had bceu iu the foothills of both the Mule Pass and the Swiss-helm mountains, but none in tho middle of the valley whero the water could collect had the lain fallen.

J. Thcircpoit.ot the boatd of di-lectors, tho superintendent and tho treas-uier were lead. From them it was ascertained that the mill of the company, containing twenty stamps, in good working order. It worked up all the company's oro in a couple of months, and then stop-ped for while. It is now grinding with the oro of other companies in the vicinity, and nets from ten to twelve thousand dollars a mouth thereby.

This company owntf Hie water power In thoTomb5.touo District, aud will be able to make a pretty good thing out of it, as the reports said. The re ccipts of the company last year were and there is a ballance of in tho treasury. The entire debt is placed at 78,121.40. Of the 250,000 shares autli-. orized, all have been disposed of, Tho company's claim covers over eleven acres, and of this surface but a small portion iu the northwestern section has been worked.

It is said lhe oro in the lower part of the claim is richer. It was staled that tho reason why the company was not-woiking its own oie was because it could not bo produced fast enough in paying ouantities. It was decided to appoint a committee of three to audit the accounts of the treasurer, and the incoming board was requested to arrange, if possible, to use ono third of the net receipts for the development of the mine and to pay tho debt witli the balance. The following named gentlemen wcro chosen directors for the ensuinc year: Messrs. Hamilton Disston, William II.

Wright, William IL, Tin.iA Ham Cochrane aud Charles Disston. Lieutenant Stephen C.

Tevis, of Tevistou, on the Southern Pacific railroad, is in town to attend tho Democratic County Convention.

Captain Tevis is the leading merchant of the town that bears his name, is an old Arizona pioneer, a large-hearted man and a thorough Democrat. He will remain in town for several days. Judgo Henry C.

Editok EriTAni: Please allow me to make known a few fads through your valuable paper, which it is hoped will provo beneficial to your many readers. What I wish to say is this: I came to this placo very sick about two months ago, and with my sickness I was also afllicted with the piles, and have been so afllicted for ten years past; and tho loss ot blood caused by tho latter and thcexcrutiatiug pain characteristic of tho former disease, were so great that I became so weak that 1 could scarce-ly get about. I have becu troubled with piles more or less for ten vcais, as beioto stated, giowing worse and woioe all tlie time, aud have bceupionouuced incurable by several prominent physicians within the last teu years, unless the knile or liga ture wcie lesorted to. Eut through the advice of a friend I applied to Dr. CV P.

V. Watson, of this city, for Ueatmcnt. He took my case, say-iug he could straighten me up all right, and lemove the piles without the use of the knife or ligature. So he went to woik, and I am proud to say that I am a well tnau. I make tills statement because it is a fact, and in making it I feel that it will bo a matter of as much inteiest to the unfortunate sufferers of this community as bis treatment has been to me.

II 1 can be able to point out to even one poor sull'ciei1 the tree that will produce the lruit-that will relieve his pains, I will be amply paid for making these truths known. My sympathies for tlie suffering are the only incentive winch prompts me lo ask this publication. Respectfully yours, L.J.F. rvtinu. A Cai-1.

The following card lecehed yestciday morning lrom Jack Martin, will explain its-elf. It willbo lcmembcred that lu our notice of the prospective fight, Mr. Martin was annouueed as tho Coinish backer: Dihtou Ei'iTAi'ii I sec iu your paper a c.rd from Mr. Garrett, stating that there is somo mistako about tho challenge to fight any Cornishman in Tombstone. I wish to state to the public how this challenge originated: Two days after the light between Art Charlis and Bob Small, a party ormtneis were discussing the matter of the recent fight and ono of the parly stated that Jim Garrett had declared at tlto Grand Central mine that he had a man that could beat any Cornishman in Tombstone.

I thought it was a bold challenge and I told tho parly to inform Mr. Garrett to put up his money and I would find a man to fight him Yours, respectfully, Jack Mum v. I'ouiiUl Hrlcnee.

Most of the members have already made up their minds how they will vote on the different propositions involved in the bill and other propositions which it is proposed to add.

The Democratic caucus to-night on the question of party action on the internal revenue bill was of no practicable benefit to the party. There was apparently too much division of opinion in the Democratic ranks. A fight may be made to secure the-adoption of certain amendments lo the bill, so as to make campaign material, but the bill will secure a large number of Democratic votes; enough to pass it by a good majority. Washington, June 22. The Senate proceeded to dispose of the amendments to the banking bill without debate, pending a propo sition offered by Morgan, which was rejected, 17 to 21, a party vote, except that of Jonos of Nevada, who voted Tiye with the Democrats, and Hampton, who voted no with the Davis of Illinois voted no.

Vest's substitute directing the issue of Treasury notes in exchange lor national bank currency and forbidding the creation of new national banks was voted down, 17 to 31.

Particular caro should be rendered the selection of members of the County Central Committee, for from that oemmittee must emi- nate all that goes to make up a perfect organization of the party.

Representative and responsible Democrats should be chosen those entiie-ly fres from selfish motives, and whoso judgment will not be warped by any feeling except for the general good of the paty. We advance no opinion as to men, leaving all questions of choice to the will of the convention. The Republican is paying con siderable attention to Gage and Far-rell. We have an idea that those gentlemen can see through a thin sheet of paper. Flattery suits a woman, but don't fit a man.

Neither Gage nor Farrell can be coaxed into putting up a cent, except upon a solid proposition. In the selection of members of the County Central Committee, a fair share of representation should be given the city and country. If possible each precinct should be tendered a quota, so that all portions of the county may be fairly represented. We are being continually importuned to publish the Grand Jury report, but it is impossible to do so until the fragments are gathered up. We must wait until the wind of public opinion blows them into tho clerk's The last number of the Yuma Sentinel has a very sensible editorial upon the question of Guiteau's in sanity, for which we mav credit the Bodie Free Press.J As yet there is no provision mado for the placo of meeting of the Democratic convention.

The city delegation should attend to the matter. The Star truly states that country journals are often premature in their choice of candidates. Country people are also fond of Punch and Judy. We join the Courier in suggesting W. B.

Horton of Tucson, for nomination as Superintendent ot Public Instruction. lie is a good teacher and a consistent Democrat. Tiiep.k should he mote policemen to patrol tho city during th night time. Residents living in the outskirts of town are complaining bit terly of their unpiotected conditidiir Tin: Star advocates the nomination ot Granvillu 11. Oury, by the Democratic party of Arizona.

The Daily Republican has mado its appearance, and its first number presents a good appearance and is well edited. Stammering may be produced by sudden fright suffered (luting childhood. A healthy frog will remain alive for dayb after the whole of its blood has been withdrawn from tho vessels and replaced by common salt. Lately in London, England, a modioal society obtained evidence of severe lead poisoning having been caused by the. use of fashionable hair washes." Workmen employed in nail manufactories are liable to contract a disease known as nailers' consumption, caused by the deposit of iron in the cells of the lungs.

If the Knglish amateur regatta committees continue to refuse to allow the Hillsdale amateur four to enter their regatta, the latter had better remain at home. It looks as if the English amateur oarsmen were afraid of the American champion crew. Arthur Chambers ha matched his racing dog Let-IIer-Como against George Barlow's Let-Me-Go for $250 a side, the match to take place at Pastime park, June 2-1. The dojrs are to run 200 yards, and it has been agreed to give or take 1 yatds to the pound. At Boston, Massachusetts, John S.

I seothat con-sidetable talk is being made about the report of the Grand Jury regarding the County Recorder's office, and lest tin injustice bo done to an innocent man, I will state that by an oversight on my part tho report was left out and not attached to final report made to the Court. I did not discover it until after my return to this place.

I will further stato that the report on the Recorder's office was flattering indeed to that officer and no one regrets more than I do its having been omitted. As I said before, it was an oversight on my part and I alono am to blame. Yours, Laiikin W. Caer. Benson, June 10,1882, a 0 33a Oca CD to 5-?
