 successor, appointed any man 10 office known tc have been dislo,al.
 Menofsouthern birth. and naturally ofsouth em ,ympathies, may in several instances have. been appointed; but only the inpractica bles' insist that southern sympathies ond treasouable sympathie- are one and the same thing. In our judgment, when men yield cheerful obedience to the laws and to the oil cers of the government, VIC care not where they come irom or how they talk--it isfoily to call tbe.n disloyal; and it is a notorious fact that none of our people have acted in better faith towards the General and Territo- rial governments than the men from the southern States, taking them as class. ,>Ac- eepting tbe palicy of the latter as pre-emi- nently fair, and desiring that nothing should be allowed to interrupt the peaceable and speedy development of the rich resources Uf the Territory, they have set the turbulent radicals an example of good citizenship which they would do we'll tu follow.
 The ambition of Governor Goodwin to unite, rather than to divide the people, seems to us to have been most laudable and patriotic one, and 10 it, despite all the radical outcry. we attribute the good feeling, the prosperity and the harmony existing throughout the Territory. Had be, in any instance, aban- doncd principle, or the policy of President ! Lincoln, or had other than wholesome results attended his course there might be ground for complaint; but in view of facts as they are, none but set of hot headed and Hitter al partizans, more jealous than judicions, would think of c0ndemnng it, or of opposing oar present Governor for adhcring to it.
 l The course of the Democracy of the Terri ! tory, as shown in the recent campaign, is far more reasonable and patriotic. Knowing [ Governor Bashford never to have belonged tO ! their party, but Co have been an original and staunch Republican, they buried partizan i feeling. and, with sorae exceptions, supported him as the best man to represent our interests at Washington. Their spirit is worthy of hearty commcndation, and stand. oui in strik- ! ing contrast with that manifested by the crit ical and querllous impra cticables," who while they profess to be great patriots, fail Co rise to the first demand of true patriotism the renouncing Of self for the common good ! We fcarleSsly challenge the wh le radical element of the Territory to point to any ac, on the part of GOvcrnor Goodwin. Governor Mccormick, or their supporters, one haif inconsistent and inexcUsable ss that of the ! men, who, claiming ,o be rlr sresilencs the truest nionists in the TerFitorv -Rho. stand ing on the street corners, like the Pharisee Of old, thank God tAag they are not as other men are--in the election just passed, shouted, ltoiled and voted for PostOn as against Bash
 ford, after their repeated assertion that they slssT him to be a secessionist. and that they never doubted Bashiori's loyalty or republi- canisrn, and would cheerfully have supported him bat for hi1 sSpfossd f,Ie,aly relations c. Gorsnsor Goo9eia end Goesrngy lcCoraiek
 Nothing cSuld be more indeier,ible or con
 temptible than this; and it is not surprising that the administration candidate Is elected by very handsome majority, several hun
 dred more than that gained over the combined opposition in 1864 or 1865, and n view of Bashford's gnpopularity north of the Gila, and the extraordinary yigor and turpitude ol PostOn and his friends, and their wholesale
 misrepresentation of tine administration, a much larger vote than was expected
 The people have for the third time, and with increased emphasis, pronounced against an unjust and causeless antagonism to the Territorial administration, which has been guilty of no act that 1t cannot justify, and ? that has not the endorsement of the general government.
 Not the least of the many annoying feature. that tho radical opposition will, in their hour of reflection, discover in their third and mos' disastrous defeat, is the fact that they hat such chance of success, owing to Bsshford' unpopularity outside of Pima county, as the! {, have never had before and one with whic
 politicians even of ordinary sagacity, woul
 have triumphed. They cannot avoid thescor
 clusiou that they are miserable managers
 and while to have been beaten with csnd
 date of their choice must have been dishear
 ening, to have fallen with standard bear, r whom they inwardly despised, a renegac I from the administration ranks, whom the o followed only in spiritof desperate jealous ;, must prove provoking in the extreme ar e tempt even the most exemplary of the in l. practieables" to unmeasured profanity.
 r 4 GREAT UHissios-Those who elai e that we have no right to mineral lands in Il  l.

Unlike previous enac e, lnents, while this speaks of lands survey, d and unsuryeyed, no reference is made to | ie ''p0or Indian" Cor the blood thirsty Indian y and we conclude that the government is do lt with the foolish policy of buying rights II those who are only happy when robbing al d killing the whites, and who have no righ
