The Present Co- dition If sono a.

The State of Sonora at this moment presents spectacle actually deplcrable For long time bloody civil war has been carried on between the factions of Gandara and Pssqueira, pressing the able-bodied men into service, dis tressing the inhabitants, increasing taxation to an extent almost unbearable, and preventing anything like decent progress in business, agriculture, or mining Forced contributions are constantly being levied upon the towns and villages, and everything is cramped and em- barrassed by rigid military surveillance. Add to this the constant forays of the Apache Indians, sweeping the State from the Arizona frontier to the Gulf plundering haciendas, render ing travel upon the highways hazardous in the extreme-carrying consternaton into every hamlet and it is almost wonderful that the State is inhabited at all
 As it is, the frontier of Sonora is nearly sban- doned. All along the line fine ranches are deserted, buildings crumbling to ruins, and broad fields, which once waved with corn and wheat, choked up with grass and weeds. The security which Is offered to life and property by
 
 dignity of an apology
 Sonora, at present, is no place for Americans. A poor man cannot obtain employment without descending to the level of a peon, and 0 rich man, while he finds no desirable opening for profit is in danger of being plundered This is the actual condition of affairs, according to in telligent and reliable gentlemen who have lately travelled through the entire State. All the la Dor is performed by pconS, at from six to eight dollars per month as for business there is none to engage in. As many Americans seem to be moving into Sonora with the hope of ma king fortunes, we feel called upon to state, al we have, the actual condition of things, and urge them to pause, before risking not only property but life in country impoverished, revolutionary, and prostratated by civil war

An Imposition.

While government denies to this Territory an organization, or even a judicial district while the mail accommodations are confined to single line which only carries newspapers out of pure benevolence, while only one small mil itary post is allowed to vast region invested hy hostile savages, custom-houses are establish ed on the frontier, to collect taxes upon the necessities of life which our citizens are obliged to import That Government has a right to do this there is no doubt; but that under the pe- culiar circumstances, the enforcement of that right is unjust and oppressive, is equally true. The doctrine of "No Taxation without Repres- entation, was once considered sound democ- racy It was vital principle, for which our ancestors rebelled against the mother coun- try, and in resistance to taxation without rep resentaton, commenced the revolutionary war The same principle holds good now-namely, that it is m just to tax people who derive lit tie or no benefit from the government If we are to pay taxes upon the necessaries of life, we ask an equivalent-the privileges and bene- fits of government; and it is but proper and just that we should have them. The main ar tcles imported from Sonora are provisions of various kinds, on which there is a tax of twen- ty-four per cent, which bears heavy upon mining companies, who are struggling along with the development of the country. Ii is small busi- ness for government, considering the little that is done for Arizona, and her isolated situation to collect revenue from her people. It is a serious check upon the growth and prosperity of the Territory

After great deal of fcavailing and caucusing, among politicians, and the cabinet, the Presi- dent has decided not to call an extra session of Congress at present, very much to the disgust of large crowd of log-rollers and lobbymen, who were anticipating another chance st the public fuuds.

Condition of the Post Office Department.

Condition 0f the Post UHce Department
 In reply to note of George Mattingy, the Postmaster General informs him that Congress has for the first time since the organization of the Government, failed to make provision for the Department Had all the members of the next Congress been elected, the President might on the 4th of March, have called an ex- tra session, and the omissions of the late Con- gress been supplied but it was impossible to do so without disfranchi.ing fifteen of the sov ereign States This was most unfortunate There ought to be no time when @ full Congress could not be convened, and it is to be hoped such state of things may never occur again. Had the bill which failed to pass, made provis- ion only for the fiscal year commencing on the lst of July there would have been no necessity for an extra session.
 The deficiency on the 30th of June, next, will amount to $43S5, 1881, nearly $75O,OOO of which being an unpaid balance accommodating on tn, 3lst of December and the 18th of Feb ruary and which can and will be paid by the Department within sixty days from this date. The payment of the principal part will be made in thirty days.
 Mr. Holt makes other statements to show that it would be impossible to convene Con- gress in time to meet the great bulk of the re- responsibilities without excluding from Congress the representatives of nearly one-haf the sov- ereign States In the judgment of the Presi- dent, the lesser evil was to wait until the first Monday in December, when all the States will be fully represented. The contracts made by the Post Office Department cannot be repudl- ated After the amounts due shall be ascer- tained they become debts which must be paid On this, the contractors, if they desire, can borrow money. The lender could have no bet ter security
 Provision should also be made for the inter est, which would amount to not less than $l00OO0. A system of retrenchment, 50 far as practicable is now an imperative duty. By the act of l858 Congress established six hun dred and ninety-fve new Post Routes, tho service of which includes the St. Paurs and Puget Sound Route, established in 1855, bu not yet in operation. It has been estimated that there will be required an annual appropri aton of $6O4,489 over and above the receipt: accruing therefrom. Not dollar has beel appropriated for this purpose, and as conse quence, though the contracts for these routes
 have been advertised and proposals received they cannot be put in operation until provis ion is made by law for that purpose. SOMETHING WORTH SEEING.-At the office o

 ker City from Minatitan.
 By advces from the city of Mexico of the 18th ult, it appears that Gen. Miramon was marching on Vera Cruz, with an army of two thousand five hundred men. and a reserve force of two thousand men, He made his headquar- ters at Orzaba, from which place he sent out force under Negrete for the purpose of at tacking the forces under General LaLave, at Jalapa Negrete forces were beaten, and he was forced to retreat to Perote.
 The "Progresso' of the 27th ut states that General Miramon at Tlacotalpan, or Ava rado, with three thousand men and a few pie ces of artillery and was slowly preparing to- march upon Vera Cruz. It appears by the statement of the Progresso that the inhabitants of Vera Cruz were very anxious that Miramon' should arrive, they having made every prepa-- ration for desperate resistance, and being sanguine as to Miramon's defeat Although the friends of the Juarez Government outside of Vera Crux have but little fear of Miranoon' taking the city; it seems they have fears ofhs attacking and capturing the smaller places now in possession of the Liberal Party.
 It was rumored that Cobos would lead force. from Cordova against the smaller towns. If thit should be the case, from the antecedents of Cobos we may expect to hear of forced loans, the sacking of towns, and the conse- quent destruction of American and other prop erty The natives themselves were in great fear of the result
 A few minutes before the Quaker City left , Mntitlan, it was rumored that an "express had arrived, bringing information that Mira mon had encamped under the walls of Vera Cruz with five thousand men and eighty-nine pieces of artillery
 STILL LATER.-The State Department receiv-- I ed dispatches from Mr. Churchill, direct from V Vera Cruz He states that the Juarez Gov ernment is gaining strength and stability ev- cry day. and that it will be able to hold out against Miramon, even though he should take Vera Cruz, which however, there is no possi- bility ofhs doing He suggests the proprety of recognizing the Juarez Government and . thinks it good stroke of policy
 Our Government will not at present take Mir. Churchills advice They intend to wait until V they hear something definite from Mr. Me Lane.

SOMETHING WORTH SEENG-At the office of the Sonora Exploring and Mining Company, in Tubac, a few days since, we saw bar of fine silver, which was being boxed up preparatory to shipment to New York, via Overland Mail, This bar was number seven, since the amalga- nation works have been put in operation, or rather portion of them; it was fifteen inches long, five inches wide, two and one half inches thick and weighed 889-38 ounces, it's value being $l l34,84 This bar was the result of three day S work of two amalgamation barrels. This is tangible evidence of successful silver mining, and even with only one quarter of the amalgamation works in operation the company will hereafter turn out at least two such bars as the above per week People who are incred- ulous about silver mining in this Territory would doubtless be edifed and comforted by a sight of lump of pure bright silver weighing nearly nine hundred ounces, assayed and stamped with it's value, ready for the mint, or the slversmith, It was something worth looking at The bar was shipped to w.

LOcOfoco Nominations.

The convention Of the niger Democ-
racy, on Monday, was respectable In poin,
Of numbers, but as barren of interest, en-
thnsiasm or good results as the Sahara h
Of vegetation. There was considerable
of "squabble" for the more important
olioes and there were any number of"pO-
tfiots," willing to sacrifice themselves for
the good Of the party. Before the nomi-
nations were begun the disgracelul and
humlliating performance was enacted, Of
requiring all the candidates to como for
ward and make public profession "ofthe
faith that is in them" and pledge thom-
selves TO support the ticket. Every hon
est democrat must have siekened at such
uspectucle, exhibited in free country, Of
applying the "gag" Of party tyranny to

AemeWmk the AAAmoNh war
Kansas has a Constitution. The Con-
vention has finished It's labors, and prOduc-
ed an strument,which,without being per-
feet, is yet ably drawn. In scope and char
acter Il is not inferior TO those Of most Of
the older States, while upon the important
point Of Freedom Of the soil, il is as explic-
Il as could be desired.
Because It's so explicit, the Democrats
In the Convention, to a man, voted a.
gainst Il.
We ehave been assured, repeatedly, thro'
the organs Of the Democratic party, that
the Kansas strife was cover" and"settled," !"
that all they sought was the peaceable adj
mission ofthe state with or without Slave
~, ab It's inhabitants might choose. Al
though the early history Of the Territory
was q series of armed violence and outrage,
instigated by the Democratic leaders, they
have, nevertheless, insisted that, having
once elected Convention and framed q
Constitution, the settlers, in right Of their
popular sovereignty, wero entitled to adj
mission into the Union. The Convention
has been held, and the Constitution franz
ed, and now the Democrats unanimously
oppose Il by every means in their power
threaten TO oppose II at the polls, and il
unsuccessful there, TO transfer the strife 70
the Halls Of Congress.
Be IL so. This new "Kansas agitation"
is created by Democats alone, and solely
for partisan ends. Thecourse is in glaring
contradiction with their past profession;
but when, in regard to Kansas, has il been
otherwisel We are confident they mistake
popular opinion, both in the Territory and
in the country at large, VIXEN they expect
to manufacture capital by interposing fur
ther resistance to the admission Of Kansas
as Free State into the Union.-[ A IbaRJ
