PRoPosED FAST TRAvELINe.-Mr. Jane
Haworth. President of the California Stage
Company was in town yesterday. says the
Alta Of Wednesday, and in conversation
in regard to the Overland Mail service, sta
ted that he was prepared to enter into con-
tract with the Government to run a daily
overland mail between Sacramento and st.
Louis for Sl,OoO,ooO per year, and would
have the schedule time placed at fourteen
days from city to city He stated, in addi-
tion, that he would make the time in twelve
days oftener than in fourteen, and that he
would also contract to run a horse express
between those two points, carrying letters
by weight, and make the time regularly in
six days between st. Louis and Sacramento.
We are authorized, continues the Alta, by an
intimate friend Of Mr. Haworth to publish
this statement These are certainly startling
assertions, but the motto of "never fail ,
which is characteristic of the man, and his
entire reliability, entitle it to repectful con-
sideration.

POPULATION OF ARIzoNA-The Arizonian
says:
The entire vote of Arizona is between two

hundred. We believe we are under the mark
and that the census next year will show it.
This vote is steadily increasing, and under

be in the majority.

1t would be well Eor those Democrats (whom
Gov. Weller would appropriately FtyIe " sore
heads, but We shall nOt.) who are dissatisfied
with the action Of the Central Committee, to
pause and reflect before they carry their Oppo.
sition too far. The Democracy view with no
induIgent eye the conduct Of factiOnistS, and
though they may for time avoid the penalty
of their inexcusable opposition, yet day Of
reckoning will surely Overtake them. They
may consider it just and proper to affiliate
temporarily with the enemies Of their party,
but the Democracy will entertain an entirely
different opinion, and Characterize their acts
in somewhat harshcr style than we care to in
dulgc in. 1t is an easy matter to assume re-
sponsibility, but not easy to avoid the consc-
quenccs. When party is fairly defeated by
its opponents it silently and gracefully sub
mits to its fate; but when by its friends, it
remembers the ungratcful and uIustfablc
oGense, to usO no severer term, and properly
revdrds tho malcontents at fitting time.
They should remember that the Black Re-
publicans constitutssthe only party except the
Democratic, which can now be said to be really
"alve and kicking" Are they ambitious to
fight in the ranks Of the Republicans and be
classcd with them? Even that party has but
. spasmOdic vitality. 1t has no element Of
life to sustain it permanently, and however
lively and active and formidable it may be for
time, must with no great delay expire
Even If they agreed with it in principle, they
would have nothing to gain by abandoning
victorious party to fuse with short lived fac
ton.
Tho Democratic party has the vitality of
full developed, vigorous manhood. 1t rests
upon principles sound and enduring, and cin-
bracing the whole country in their scope. 1t
can rally its followers throughout the length
and breadth of the land, animated by COM
mon purpose, and cooperating in support Of
doctrines equally cherished by all. In every
State it unfurls its flag and has earnest and
enthusiastic adherents. Those who cherish
its principles and are willing to sustain its or
ganization and be governed by its usages, will
support its nominees those who do not, are
welcome to take their chances with the Re-
publicAns.

little, and more persons are seeking employ

provisions high. Accommodations arc scanty
and uninvting, most Of the miners arc living
in tents, poor protection in cold weather,
