WASflfN(?rbN; June 4.—lt. was cer
tainly the intention of the Executive
on Saturday to appoint no Democrats
to office' In the South, and to ohanjze
at his leisure all foreign representa
tives.
Oen. Geo. A. Sheridan, of Louisi
ana, has an office under the Post
office Department.
A. M. Gibson, correspondent of the
New York Sun, alluding to the letter
which Gen. Garfield pronounces a
forgery, says: ‘‘The letter written to
Gen. Garfield by the President was
shown by him to a score of persons
within a few hours after he received
it, and among those favored with its
perusal were three respectable cor
respondents." ,
Washington, Juue 4.—Evarts has
returned. Key arrives to-morrow.
Col. White has resigned the Col- '
lectorship of the port of Richmond,
Yl.
The Biiiler-'McVelgli correspond
ence has given the Louisiana Mar
shalship a scandalous interest. The
Stay says : Jack Wharton, as an ap
plicant for the Louisiana Marshal
ship, is in the city. The President Is
willing to give Wharton the place
when Pitkin, the present incumbent,
resigns, and be has requested that
gentleman’s resignation. Titkin re
fuses to resign.
It is held that the Custom House
investigation and directions by the
Executive to collectors, suggested by
the commissioners who have no legal
existence,is more or less an important
interference with the legal rights
and duties of collectors. The Presi
dent may nominate or suspend col
lectors, but the delays of the opera
tions are clearly defined by acts of
Congress, and tire properly, it is
claimed, beyond Presidential inter
ference.

Washington, June 4.—Josh Franks,
Deputy United States Marshal from
Macon county, N. 0., who was arres
ted in this city Sunday night on
charge of defrauding the U. S. Gov
ernment, iiad a healing to-day, and
was coin mi lied to jail in default of
$5,000 bail. He says he wishes his
trial in Washington, as he was ar
rested on charges made by Marstial
It. M. Douglass, because he wouid
not comply with his demand in mak
ing false vouches. Marshal Doug
lass, Mr. Frank asserts, was to have
one-fourth of all amounts raised iu
that way. Douglass is the son-in
law of U. S. District Judge, Dick, be
fore whom he would have to be tried.
Ho says that he will make a clean
breast of everything at the proper
time.
Detective Hester, of the Depart
ment of .7ustiee, represents the dis
covery of extensive frauds in the
office of Marshal Douglass of North
Carolina. Before leaving North Car
olina, Hester arrested the chief clerk
and chief accountant of the Marshal’s
office. It is stated frauds have been
going on several years. Deputy

claims he came here to expose
frauds. Two property holders from
North Carolina offered bail for
Franks, but the Commissioner re
fused to receive their bond.

The Pupe'sGolden Anniversary.
Washington, June 4.—Dispatches
from all quarters report devotional
exeieises in celebration of Corpus
Ohrisii and the Pope's golden anni
versary. At St. Louis seventy or
eighty societies," gaily dressed in
baudsome uniforms and regalia,
with forty bands, were in the line of
procession. At frequent intervals in
the coltim weie large, finely embel
lished wagons tilled with ele
gantly dressed little girls and boys;
also numerous dafrriages filled with
priests and officials of various grades.
It is estimated that twenty thousand
persons were in line, including ehil-
Tna streets along the line of

London, June 4.—The Time* says
the report that Russian monitors
had succeeded in forcing the Sulina
mouth of the Danube is unconfirmed.
There may therefore be some inac
curacy. It seems too much to sup
pose that the Turks left the Sulina
mouth unguarded. Some of the flat
bottomed Russian monitors, which
are supposed to be in Readiness at
Nicolaev, may have made their way
down and succeeded in passing over
the bar.

WHAT DEAN STANLEY SAID ABOUT HIM.
London, June 4.—Gen. Grant heard
Dean Stanley at Westminster yester
day. After alluding to Mr. Motley’s
death, Stanley said: “Gen. Grant has
just laid down the sceptre of the
American Commonwealth, after hav
ing, by military prowess—still more
by generous treatment of comrades
in victory, and enemies in defeat
restored unity to a great and divided
people. England welcomes him as a
sign and pledge that the two nations
of the Anglo-Saxon race are one in
heart and spirit.”
The Excitement In Earls.
Paris, June 4.— The excitement in
consequence of the arrest of M. Du
bourdier, President of the Municipal
Council, continues. It is quite legal,
but most unusual, to arrest people
for offences by writing or speech.
Offenders in this way are generally
left at liberty until trial, even without
bail. In this case bail was lefused.
M. Dubourdier denies the charges
against him. The impression pro
duced is bad, as the prisoner is pop
ular with the lower classes. He is a
man of education and independent
means. He is charged with insulting
Marshal MacMahon and inciting
civil war and assassination.

AKRI7.ONA TERRITORY.
Mohawk Stage Station. May 12,1877,
, Dear Jicgulus:— Vain are human calcu
lations. 1 thought by this time I should
have been at my Journey’s end, but on the
j morning of the 6th, as I was sit iog under
| the awning of the Colorado Hotel wailing
I for’the stage to oiirry' tile up the Gila, I
| was tapped on the Utmulrtor by a burly
Kentuckian, long of .California,
and one of a party of gents that came
down with m“ from Los Anglos, who
walkod me off to one sifie and inform 1 dm •!
couldn't, get off on that stage. I told him
I reckoned I cull'd; didn't know the cus
toms of the country, but that I generalh
wont wheij f pleased ami how I pi a"tl;
calculated I’d still do the same. Ihe gent
replied that he calculated differently and
that I shouldn’t go; tit it he
and his party had gome work
they wanted done and that th y
couldn't llu i in engineer In Yuma whom
they could get worth a cent and that I
had]to lay over Sor in days and act. in that
i capacity for them nolens volena. To
i name my p iee; that we wouldn’t qu trrel
j over It. Under such eirc .instances what
I could an innocent, guileless unsupecUug
youth do but yield to ovtfip .w. ring
force. I named my figures, to will, h the
party mi led all rav expenses Includ
ing all incidentals. So in Yuma, I lay
for three days, loafing aud drawing piy
for same; was consulted once In that time
i by my employee* on a question of inter
national law. Well my knowledge of in
ternational law does not equal that of
Air. Evarts as you may imagine. But 1
know my duty; I Was hired to give opin
ion, when it was wanted, and I gave it.
I now flinched when the question was
put. With the gravity of a trained di
plomatist I launched It out. I hope it
may bo worth something to the parties;
but I should hate to have any money stak
ed on its correctness. Howover.if they are
satisfied I know I am. On tho evening of
the 3d day I was lying in my bed, my
head propped up with pillows, my feet
resting on tho foot-board at an elevation
of a yard above my head, Frank Leslie in
my hand and a bottlo of mineral water
sent in by one of my now friends in con
venient distance on the table, earning my
pay, when in stepped my,Kentuckian who
helped himself to tho mineral and said if
agreeable to mo we would take tho stage
and go up to Mohawk on the Gila and run
a few lines. Well, it wasn’t agreeable at
all to me. I was doing first rate where I
was, and preferred to give the party the
v.ilue of their money in that kind of ser
vice viz: Loafing, but bowing to their
wishes I told the gentleman I would be
ready iu five minutes and in that space 1
had my traps on board the stage. Mj
Kentuckian put in the transit ami chain,
the advance guard of civilization, and a
suspicious looking willow covered affair,
as X enter'd after him, we being the only
p tssongers I raised this latter article and
gave it a shake, “Two gallons,’’ it replied
“Fifteen year old bourbon’," said my
companion. “Good" echoed 11,I 1 , and iu a
cl ud of dust wo made our exit "from
Yuma. The dust was terrible, hot ami
stilling. I thought I was eullocating at the
end of a mile and grasped lor the "llfteeu
year old,” which I raised to my lips and
took a swallow, ii worked like a charm,
cut ing tao du-t l i my tnrout and giving
a uciv lease on fife, i recoin mended to
my friend t > try the same, and by repeat
ing the experiment wo get through all
right. Up tile valley of the Gila we roiled:
all night, tikmg until daj break to trmk •
Gi miles; 6J mites in limit, en hours is 1.04
rap and traveling. The valley up to tin-.
point has the appeal unco of a ucsert tx
uept two places below where them weie
irrigating ditches. Mountains ele-ing 111
to toe river at p aces, und tiien widening
oat leaving tne Vai ey from 1 tolOnnlcs
wide. The mountains are perfectly bare
and barren, exeep ing now anil tifii a
cactus plant, raising .ts laiitusllc head truni
one to twenty (2 1) feet in the air
line a grim sentinel 0! death presiding
over a ghdatfy waste. In the valley not
one spi ig of grass did I see. Only the
sage Pi Ush, tile tnosqu te, the greasewuod,
the plant 01 the desert, and on the brinks
of the stream some cottonwood. You are
iu tho rainless distrust, or what might as
well oe called rainless, as som i ye rs it
does not rain at all and never at certain
seasons or the year. “This rather comes
up to my idea of the country," said I. “I
have always set down Arizona as tho
hardest piece of grouud in the United
States, even excelling in that respect
Nevada, which is hard to heat." My
companion was asleep and made no reply,
and as I had seen enough of that cheering
scenery 1 stretched myselt on tho front
seat and went to sleep, from whence I
awoke with a start as a fierce yell burst
on my ear. I thought it was fourteen
Apaches requesting my scalp, but it was
only tho driver giving notice to Muhawk
Station of our approach. Rolling up
arid out no cheerful-faced host met us at
the door. Day was just beginning to
break; horses were changed and the
coacti went on, leaving us alone with the
hostler. Asking that functionary when
mine host would be visible, he replied
about eight o’clock; and until eight wo
had to set around and wait. When mine
host did appear It was with no cheerful
visage. Dark and scowling was his coun
tenance and it said plain enough "What
the devil are you doing here?" My
friend, tho Kentuckian, arose and ex
plained that wo wanted to get some
breakfast just then and afterwards to
hire a team and bo sent across the Gila
river three miles to Mr. Charles Baker’s
rancho, to whom he had a letter of intro
duction from Judge Alexander of Yuma
Mine host gave a Irowniiig assent to the
breakfast part of the proposition,
but neither for love nor money
we could procure a team, or even a mes
senger, as he claimed ail of them to be too
busy, and mine host walked off. We gotj
the breakfast. boWevdr,, and cogitated as j
to what was to be done. Tho only tiling I
could figure upon it was for me to get!
over to Baker's R niche afoot, there being j
no other mode of conveyance. I told Mr.
Thompson to nek of a Mexican—who wan
the o.dy oiio visible now around the St i
tipii—tne!dif;ctioli, distance, and the ford
for crossing. ThoinPSPM put the questions
In Spanish,and received as answer for the
hist, three mi es; tor the second, a circu
lar motion of the hand; indicating every
point of the compass; and for tho thlrkl,
that the river was fordable at any place—
and this watt all ho could get out of tho
dirty Greaser, and on these indefinite in
structions I started out. Striking the
river at a distance of a mile, I pulled off
my boots, stripped to the waist, and start
ed across —the river here being about 500
t<> 6)0 feet wide. Got un pretty well until
within a hundred feet of the opposite
bank, when I begun to get In too deep
water, and 1 stuiek up the stream for a
quarter of a mile waiting and looking for
a shallow place. The startling fact then
buret upon nte that the Mexican tmd lied,
and the liver was only foldable, at a few
places, if at nil, and where those places
were was too much for me. Get across I
had to. however; and finding a snag at a
point wlnjte I would soon have to swim, I
pu'led off the balance of my clothing atid
hung them on the snag—then step fast ,iu
the log—and taking a linen ’ bult from
around my waist. In which I had a few
greenbacks left, tied it around my throat.
I was now arrayed iu complete Georgia
costume, minus only the spurs, as uiy
belt stood in tile place of a collar. Gt*p
leg In one hand half of my clothes, I held
tin m above my bead, aud stepped gently
off the log—still c.iei tailing a • irn hope
that maybe I wouldn’t have to swim ufter
ail. It, was a vain hope, for the water got
deeper and Ueeia'r -and taking another
step my head went under; but I arose to
the surface before my clothes, held above
uiy bead, touched the water, and holding
them aloft with one hand, I struck out
swimming with the other, and soon landed
at a good getting-out place. Depositing
uiy burden, I returned to the log, and
taking the balance of my clothes, swam
back, and then brought them all over, and
not a thread wet. Dressing, I poled eut
down stream in seareh of Mr. Baker’s
Rauche. The walking was detestable
through sand, and then a salt marsh,
and then through an Impalpable dust,
sinking deep into it at every step. Not
knowing the direction, I had to zig
zag, in order hot to pass by the
Rune he., Near the river was the most
dense ohapparal, have to creep like a rab
bit. I kept zlzzayglng “tliusly” for four
miles and then climbed a mocqulte tree to
see, what, I could see; I couldn’t see any
thing but a desert and mountains to the
North and ohapparal und sage brush and
mosquito in the valley. Not one eprig of
grass. Perched iu the limbs of that tree
i gave forth a few praises to that Mexican
and to the country and decsceuding with
a clever conscience meandered down for
half a mile farther, when on the opposite
side of a lagoon a most enchanting light
met my eyes; a field of running grain, and
in that field a house; is it possible
said I that In tills desert, such a thing can
tie seen as a growtug crop? Undoubtedly
. hat is Baker's place. I’d arose over and
examine lotto tills curiosity; but crossing
over was the difficulty. "The thing
couldn’t bo did", and pacing back to a
turd, 1 stripped to tho waist
again and forded over. Redressing, I
continued down a sense toa point opposite
the house, where a Mexican barefooted
and with breeches rolled up was standing
I climbed the fence and approached
“ Here is another lovely predicament”
says I, “ten to one that mahogany colored
individual don’t speak English, and
Spanish ain't one of uiy accomplish
ments." However I’ll find out, aud 1
oponeJ up with “Do you -peak English?’
“No. rtnnor." “Well, tint is lovely,’’ Th
try Spanish on him now,” and I opened
again, "Suitor Baber.” A volley of thi
silvery language, <f which I didn’t under
stand one word, greeted my ears. “ Exact-
III" said X, “you are no tool, I want to s-e
ihoSenor, just trot him up here. Don’t
suppose you understand one word of the
conversation I am entertaining you with,
but what I do wan't is Senor Biker.
Vamose; git.bring him here” and I waved
him cm. lhc 'Mexican started off at a full
trot.
I watched him until he entered the
brush and then walked over to look at
the wheat and barley. Oil the edge was a
ditch lull of running water, just below, it
was turned i ut. onto a garden spot. Aha!
said I, “I iinderatatid the phenomenon ol
this oasis, tne land Is Irrigat' d.” I jump
ed Ut". ditch aud eximinod the wheat
Without doubt it was the finest lever
saw, and would turn out sixty bushels to
the acre. The truth flashed on me. The
valley of the Gila was a desert. It was a
desert for tho want of water. Put water
on it and the impalpable dust, of which
most of It Is composed, will rival tho val
ley of tho Nila in its productive powers
I examined tho soil, which I had passed
over before with Indifference, now with
interest. It was a rich, black, loam de
posited sediment several feet thick. It
was inexhaustable In its richness.
Before this I considered the parties
fools who stopped mo to survey a portion
of tills valley for them. I saw now the
correctness oi their Jhdgment, lands that
will produce sixty bushels of wheat to the
acre, and abundantly of anything under
the sun planted upon it, can but be a most
fortunate speculation to those who go
into It Full of this, to me new discovery,
I turned to the house and awaited the re
turn of the Mexican. He soon came up,
“Awal senor,” said I, “Si Senor Agna,”
replied tliis dusky blood loading the way
into tho one,Apartment 10x12 udobe house,
and reaching mo from an earthen vessel a
cup of cool water. 1 rather prided my
self on tho success of my Spanish thon
and drinking the water got off another of
the Doct or’s bows, and handed the cup
hack. The Senor wasn’t to be outdone
and tie took the cup with one or his most
elegant hows. Now the handsome thing
being done by both parties, I propounded
the question again: "Senor Baker?” "Si
Senor,” was the reply, and waiving his
hand for me to follow, carried me half a
mile below, where I found Senor Baker,
Sonora Raker atid Senorlta Bakor, bound
to Yuma. 'I he Honor met me as I came
up I introduced myself to him, and found
him to be a New Yorker and a gentlemen
his wife a very dark Mexican, his little
and uighter some lighter. I told my busi
ness, and lie was kind enough to delay
his trip to Yuma, take me back to Mo
hawk in his Wagon, and InVlte myself arid
Thompson’to his rauche, promising to as
sist its In ouT surveys. 8 > for three days
wer.-rinilned with Mr. Baker, and In that
tune dohe all bur wot k. I sket cheduff for
tho-party some 25 or 39 sections, which
they intend to taka up on the Desort
Land Act.
Rode up the valley to Texas Mountain
some twelve or fifteen mites, and project
ed for them a ditch which would irrigate
fifty sections of land at a cost of about
one thousand dollars per mile for the
main ditch. My op'nton in this matter
was worth more to the party than the
question of International taw, l fancy. I
then cauie back and run the line over
another projected ditch, locating it for
them, and to*d them I must leave them
then as I was due up the river. Got back
to the Station and found several of Mr,
Thomnson’s party there. Just up from
Yuma. Clever fellows, all of them. They
wanted me to go back to Yuma and hang
out my card, offering to make me their
