A Radical gain Of Iour Senators must also
DC taken into account. Two of them bayc
lately bccu chosen, namely the Hon. a. G.

and that oil New.Jersey TO make the same
amends by supplying the vacancy caused by
the death Of the Hon. William Wright. TO
these must DO added the Hon. Cornelius Cole
Of California, in.placc of Senator James 4.
McDougal. Should Colorado be admitted
two more Radical Senators will he gained.
We have lost d Senator in MARYLAND so this
leaves our gain but four.

Radicals against IL Democrats As recon,

STORE RoBBEp. i be store Of Lewis

STORE RoBBED. Il be store Of Levi;
Marrctt was entered, on Sunday night
last, aud robbed Of goods 10 the amount of
about $500. The thieves, supposed TO be
two in number, took none but the best art
! clcs, and those easy of TRANSPORTATION.
lhcT lifted themselves, it appears. with en-
tire new suits-irom hat to boots taking an
orcrcoat, belonging to Mr.. Marrett, valued
at SO, and sack coat, belonging to Mr.,
Bremen, clerk, valued at So, making M
the rest of their wardrobe from the assert.
mcnt of ready made clothing, boots, hats,
etc. Taking two valises, they then appro-
pratcd such articles as could easily be car.
ried, such as Skein silk. penknives, and nu.
merous fancy articles from the show. case. and
having riiled the drawrs of what little change
they contained, left for parts unknown.
From these facts it would appear that the
parties were not only adopts, but itnerai,s.
travelling from place to place, committing
robberics, and disposing of their booty at
reduced prices.
How the entrance was effected, is not
known: whether at the front door or win,
dow in rear oi the store, neither of which
bore marks of violence, although jimmy
was found on tho counter In the morning.
Two clerks were sleeping in the store, but
the first intimations they had OF the robbery
were the promiscuous scatteraton Of the
goods, the money drawers being on the coun.
ter, aud the front door partly open, in the
morning when they got MP. !. nan was
seen enter the front door about ., o clock in
the morning, but the gentleman who saw
him, supposed him to he one of the CLERKS.

THE MINING LAW.

MT. Hardy has introduced bill in the Council to repeal Chapter 50 of the Howell Code, which is the mining law of the Terri tory. This is well enough, for without talk ing into view other reasons, the Congressional act, makes this long and intricate law unnec- essary. But what the people are chiefly in- terested in is to know the character of the new law our Legislators propose to substitute. We learn that Mir. Davis of Mohave county has one in hand, and we make no doubt that he will try to make it acceptable. We hope he will be careful to see that it is short, pointed, and so clear that no man can mis- understand it. A law that is open to a dozen different interpretations is not fitted to this new country, or indeed to any country. Sim plicity is first necessity, and economy is an- other. Our miners should be able to perfect their titles at the most reasonable cost. The matter of recording is of great import ance, as is that of defining the claims, and working them. While the new law is liberal and just, we trust it will be cautious and complete, so that it's practical result may be the speedy development of our great mining interests, and it may prove an invitation rather than a source of dstrust to the capi- talist

DEATH OF GOVERNOR coNNELLY.

We sincerely regret to announce the death of the Honorable Henry Connolly, late Gov ernor of New Mexico, and step p-father of Hon. Frank Chavez, Delegate in Congress from New Mexico. Governor Connolly belonged to the old school of American gentlemen. AL though he had lived upon the frontier for a large part os his life he was ever as polished and urbane as though moving in the most re- fined society. He was a well read and obser- want man, and both in public and private life greatly respected and beloved. Having been identified with New Mexico for two score years, he was every where known and infu. ential. We will not do more than say, that those in Arizona who knew him, and they are many, will join in mourning his loss ant honoring his memory as that of good anC true man, an earnest patriot, and an upright and competent public officer.
