MINING IN ARIzoNA,-A company of
about fifty left Prescott some time ago
for the famous White Mountains, where
the Indians used gold bullets. There
were q number of practical miners in the
party. They have returned, and report
that the gold of that land is not good.
The country on the Verde river and
southeasterly, extending 20 the Rio
Grande and Fort West, is a fine agricul-
tural region, but they think it not gold
bearing. This and the Jack Swelling ex-
pedition discourage the idea that the
supposed extensive placer mines in and
around the White Mountains are re-
ality.

Lei Handed Commitment.
Says the Nashville Gazette

Speaking of the State Convention and its
attitude on the everlasting niger" cues
ton our Radical Contemporary saws:
The Gazette and Bolivar Bulletin have
completely whipped the Banner and Dis
patch"
The Press and Times report of the pro-
ceedlngs fatty contradicts this editorial as
sertion. We scout the lying compliment.
Standing for principle, we are not afraid to
tell the truth. We have our vanity like
other men, and it was wounded but we have
also the vanity of counting reputation for
truthtulness. The Convention, " in It's wis
dom or its folly went the whole hog on the
negro. We are for giving them the full
benefit of 1t, praying that it may not prove
a prohtless humiliation. And our Radical
contemporary shall not, without contradiction,
use our name to deprive them of it.
This Is pretty way, Mr. Radical, to
welcome converts to your platform 1t only
proves that your platform is rotten-that it
cannot bear them-that negro suffrage is a
false plank IN it. else you would join hands
with these lovers Of the negro and. welcome
them to your ranks, You care precious little
for the negro, or his advancement, when YOU
shut the doors on men who have placed them
selves on record, side By side with you.
Our good friend the Gazette, will please
bear in mind that drowning men catch at
straws, while we take the liberty to say to
" the radical organ that it need spend no
time IN striving to make it appear that aught
else but harmony prevails in the Conserva-
tive ranks. Before the Convention of the
10th adopted its declaration of principles. we
deemed it expedient to state our wishes, but
now that a line of policy has been adopted,
the Press and Times need not delude itself
with the idea that the Bolivar Bulletin will
fail to harmonic with any men or any
measures to beat the Brownlow party in Au-
gust For their defeat we have labored and
shall continue to do so as long we can stick
a type, i" or work a press. OF course the
Gazette will shake hands with US on this
point

Tax on CottOn.-It is an erroneous opin-
ion under which many of our readers are
laboring, that the United States tax on cot
ton IS at this time only two and half cents
per pound. The act of Congress reducing
the tax does not take effect until after the
first of September, and until that time it re-
mains, as heretofore, that is, three cents per
pound. This tax has been pronounced IN
constitutional by some of the ablest lawyers
IN the North and South, Who have also ex-
pressed the conviction that if the question
was brought into the courts, the South could
easily rid herself of it. We believe the
State of Alabama appropriated the sum of
ten thousand dollars for the purpose of test
ing the eonstitutionality of the tax, but we
have never heard of any further action being
taken in the MATTER Canton Citizen.
