TO describe their anguish. One thing al agreed
| in, that it must have been raffians from some
other district, who had done this dreadful deed.
Time passed, and the guilty party was not
discovered many were taken up on suspicion
and released. The poor horse was naturally a
subject of remark and one day, shortly after
the last suspicious person had been examined,
| the horse was taken to B. market he
was known as quiet creature, but on this
day, IS he passed knot of loungers in the
street, he reared and plunged and became for
few minutes quite unmanageable. When
the paroxysm was over, he stood still and treHl-
bled just as he had done on that memorable
night. The servant man who had the care Of
him, was struck with this circumstance, and on
looking round, saw q man whom he knew
well, gazing with awe-struck glance at the
horse. He called 10 him, "Tom L., como
here, do think sOld Bay has got the stag
gers, he's no. got over that night any more
than the rest nf us.' The man called to, an.
swered with surly curse, and ran away Al

horse. 'rThat Tom Lis afraid to co:ne

Arizona.


The New Mexican Legislature has again
adjourned without making provision. either leg
ative OF judicial, for Arizona. The impress
sion so generally prevailing that Arizona is
protected by the Territorial government of
New Mexico, is entirely erroneous. and has
done much to retard the progress Of the bill
now before Congress for the separate orsaniza-
ton of this important region. No court of re-
cord exists In Arizona, and the necessity for
legislation on this point was emphaticaly
shown short time since, when the people of
Mesilla were forced TO cross the dreaded Jorno-
da del Muerto, and make journey of>>two
hundred miles into New Mexico proper to OBJ
tain writ of habeGs corpus. Indian outrages.
murders, robberics, are Of frequent, even daily
occurrence, and the arm of the law is not raised
70 protect or avenge. Incredible as it NAV
appear, an authentic catalogue Of one hundred
and sixty assassinations, within the past three
years, committed in and near the centre of
Arizona, exists, and not one arrest has ever
been made.
Late adviccs from Arizona give reliable and
almost wonderful statements of the late dis
coveries and operations in the silver regions Of
Sopori, Santa Rita, and Arivaca and the late
opening of placer gold mines at the Canada
del Ora, promise results which will equal the
best days Of California.
The valley Of the Rio Grande, the Gila. and
its branches. open new fields to the farmer and
nlerhanic. The proximity Of the Mexican
frontier, always in state Of revolution. but
now ravaged by war Of races, as vel as of
factions, renders the necessity for the exhibi
ton OF our Government in its real strength
emphatically necessary, not only for the pro
lection Of our people, but for the honor Of the
nation. Already has the American name and
prestige sunk almost below reproach with our
Mexican neighbors.
The overland mail from San Diego TO San
Antonio, through Arizona, BY It's successful
carriage during the past year, has demonstrate
ed beyond doubt the eminent practicability
of this route across the continent at all seasons
Of the year. The great overland semi-weekIy
mail, about TO 60 into operation from Mcmphis
TO San Francisco, traverses Arizona throughout
its entire length. In the event Of q war with
England, all the Isthfnus routes will be at
once closed, and the Arizona route TO the Pa
cifc will be our only resource. This consider
alton alpne should at once induce the hvcra-
bic action Of Congress for the desired organi-I
zation. The Senate Committee on Territories
have ordered bill to Be reported, erecting
Arizona into . separate Territory. and we trust
it viii be acted upon favorably before the adj
journment Of Congress. 0fits great necessity
there is no longer any question Sates.
