To tie Efitor Of he Nev YORK Tribune
SIR: The announcement Of the election Of
John n Goodwin as Delegate from Arizona,
in your morning paper, requires some explain
alton, which you will kindly allow me 10
make.
Secretary Mccormick, the confidential
friend of Governor Goodwin, not being able
TO return 90 the Territory, pledged me the
support Of the Governor, on the faith OF con-
VIBRATIONS they had held on the subject pre-
vious 20 his departure; and Secretary McCor-
mick was as fully authorized to act for
Governor Goodwin as if he had been person
ally present. Neither Of them, nor any other
person aware Of the relations existing between
them, will dispute this fact.
| All the Territorial officers then in the At
/ lantic States, wko were well informed Of my
actions and intentions in Congress, agreed 10
become unanimous in their influence to secure
my reelection. Governor Goodwin was duly
advised Of these facts, and until after the
election had passed, was supposed by us TO
have been working as zealously and honestly
/ for my reelection as we had been working
tremendously here for the prosperity and best
interests of the Territory.
! The ARIZONA MINER, the only newspaper
! published in the Territory, undertook "a rem

and was proceeding in good faith, when Gov
ernor Goodwin arrived at the Capital, and, in
the absence of the proprietor, took possession
Of the press, struck my name from the list Of
candidates, suppressed the editorials in my
favor, and palmed off upon the people articles

This statement made in the MINER OF Au-
gust 9th: "To those Of our friends. who. like
w hoisted the flag Of Colonel Poston. before
the arrival Of Governor Goodwin we would
say that the most amicable feeling exists
between them, and that Colonel Poston will
himself, support the Governor for the dele
gacy," is an Infamous falsehood and forgery.
made without the shadow OF right or color OF
truth, and in violation Of all courtesy, deccn-
ey, honor and law.
A letter from one Of the highest Federal
officials in the Territory, says:
"The Governor is supposed 10 have the
inside track, having been all through the
southern portion Of the Territory with Gen
eral Mason on a political campaign. free Of
expense" He adds "The Governor 4 odious
among Union men here" General Mason
was sent TO Arizona with abundant forces,
at great cost 10 the Government, 70 make an
Indian-not political campaign.
IL remains TO be seen whether, under these
circumstances, the Governor Of remote Ter
ritOry can cross the Congressional threshold
with certificate signed with his own name,
founded upon fraudulent votes, registered By
his own judges and clerks, and counted by
himself

A CARD


PRESCOTT, Jan, IN, 1000.
EpiroR or THE ARIzoNA Miner. The
card Of Colonel Charles d. Poston dated at
New York on the ODD, Of November last, and
published in the Tribune, has the following
statement:
"Secretarv Mccormick, the confidential
friend of Governor Goodwin, not being able
10 return 20 the Territory, pledged me the
support Of the Governor, on the faith OF con
yersations they had held on the subject pre-
vions to his departure"
lnexpanation Of which deem il just TO
Governor Goodwin and myself, TO say that
when was leaving San Francisco for the East,
in March last, the Governor said to me, In
expectation that | would be a candidate for
Delegate at the election in September: "Sup-
pose you cannot get back in time TO canvass
the Territory, will you be a candidate ~ To
which replied "No." Then, said he, II pre-
sumo we cannot do better than 10 favor the
reelection Of Poston," 20 which agreed.
When, in New York, | found that my bust
ness would not admit Of my return to the
Territory in time for the election, | repeated
this conversation to Colonel Poston, and upon
the strength Of il, told him thought he
could count upon the support Of the Cover
nor, as he certainly could upon mine, although
some Of his political acts had not met my
entire approval. did what | could To help
him by writing 20 the Territory, and | wa.
as much surprised as he, when heard that
the Governor had taken the field.
1t is for the public to decide, however
whether the conversation referred to involved
an irrevocable pledge of the Governor 10 tn,
Colonel, and deprived him Of the right to be
come candidate, when he found, owing tc

TIE MEXICAN QUESTION.

General Logan having declined the mission
10 Mexico, the Hon. Lewis ID. Campbell. Of
Ohio, formerly prominent in the politics, and
We think at one time Governor, Of that state
has been appointed, and has received his in
structions. These are to present himself to
President Juarez and to accompany him to
which ever Of the states he may be driven 20
by the imperial power. Nothing could more
plainly indicate the determination Of our
government to stand by the Republic in all
its vicissitudes, and the step must be highly
encouraging TO the struggling liberals.
MrS- Macmillan has gone TO Paris, and
there is a common belief that her husband
will follow her. Ifit is as clear to him, a it
is to the world, that the American people
will not submit to the overthrow Of our sister
republic, he will follow his better half at an
early day, and not return to this continent
We are still Of the opinion that we shall have
no war with France upon this Mexican ques-
ton We cannot believe that Macmillan,
or his impudent master, will care 70 arouse
the American eagle, now that be is newly
feathered and has his spurs keenly edged.
The "bird Of freedom" was never before so
well prepared TO fight, and whoever excites
him will have an ugly customer to deal with.

We can make allowance for the chasrn
Of Colonel Postnn over bis defeat, but as he
has never been considered the opponent OF
Governor Goodwin or Of the MINER, we are
at a loss to understand why he has issued a
card SO prolific Of mis- statements. The NINE"
supported Colonel Po,ton in 1864, honestly
believing that he was the host man in the
field, ana we believe he did all for the Ter
ritory while ia Congress that il was reason
able 10 EXPECT. Last year on learning that
he would be candidate for reelection, al
though he had frequently stated here that he
would not be- the MiNER began TO work for
him as our standard bearer, but when il
was apparent, that for reasons too numer-
Gus to mention, defeat stared Us in the
face. and that particularly odious man, his
opponent and ours, would be elected los We
still firmly bclieve,) we turned our support
10 Governor Goodwin, a more popular man
at the time, whom we knew it was possible
10 elect.
Upon his arrival here from the southern part
Of the Territory the Governor told the pub
Usher that while it would CRAFTY him to have
the MISER come out in his favor, he did not
and would not undertake 70 dictate what its
course should be- He did not take possession
Of the Office; did not suppress any editorials
in Poston's favor; did not strike his name
from the list Of candidates, and never wrote
one line for the paper during the whole cam
paign lauiatory Of himself The statement
Of August 9th, upon which the Colonel is s,
severe, was tine i,v,rvst stiPir5sitiSa sc ~
friends OF both parties at the time. No rea
sonable man presumed that the Colonel woul,
object to the Governors becoming candi
date when his own success was hopeless
For our part we supposed that we were doinl
him a kindly act by withdrawing his name
and had his managers followed our exampl
he would have been saved from the humiha
ton Of an overwhelming defeat.
OF that letter from one of the higbes
federal officers in the Territory" we thinl
that If its authors name was given, it woul,
be one of the forrest of those officials, both il
the estimation Of Colonel Poston and Of ou
people generally. Its thrust at Governor
Goodwin's unonism comes with an Ill grace
and especially when apparently approved by
Colonel Poston.
In common with all fair minded men who
supported Governor Goodwin or Colonel
PostOn we attribute the defeat Of the Colonel
~ his unwarrantable absence from the Ter
ritory. Had h~ -heen here he could have
explained various charges against him, and
We have no idea that Governor Goodwin
would have been a candidate.
NAs it resulted we supposed that he woul,
acknowledge himself alone to blame, an,
heartily cooperate with Governor Goodwin
on behalf Of the Territory. II he had don,
so he would still have warm place in tn
hearts Of our people.
