+" SPEED THE PLOUGH.p

We are glad to observe that many more
ranches will be cultivated in this part Of Ari-
IONA this year than ever before, perhaps three
times as many. Indeed, nearly every ayaila-
BILE nook in the mountains and valleys for
miles around Prescott, is occupied by some
industrious and hopeful tiller of the soil.
The success Of last year, the increased pro-
lection, and the understanding that hence
forth the military will depend upon purchas-
ing grain for their animals in the Territory,
have stimulated this increased interest in az
riculture, and we account il very fortunate
for the country. As we have often said, ag-
riculture must 20 hand in hand with mi
ming, and however rich the mines we cannot
expect to work them to much profit while
our food has to be brought from abroad. II
the season is favorable we believe enough
breadstuffs will be produced this year to
supply all our population, and more grain
than the cavalry animals can consume.
The recent contracts for corn were let
here at from nine to ten cents per pound.
This is considerably less than it has cost the
government TO ship grain from San Francisco
to this place, as has been the custom hitherto
While to cover losses in the past, and to com
pensate for the outlay and risk yet to be en-
countered, our ranchmen will naturally want
to obtain good price for their produce, we
trust they will not be so short sighted as to
form combinations to secure extrayagant
rates,or to in any way give the government an
excuse for again purchasing elsewhere

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The Memphis Post tells story greatly to
the honor Of son Of General Lee. At a
dinner party in Richmond, one of the guests
proposed as a toast, "The fallen Flag" 1t
says:
"Colonel Lee promptly placed his hand
upon the glass and arose Gentleman said
he, this will not do. We are paroled prs-
oners. We now have but one flag, and that
is the flag Of our whole country-the glori-
Gus old Stars and Stripes. | can recognize
no other, fight for no other, and will drink to
nc other 3"
This is the right spirit and the only spirit
in which there can be a speedy and substan-
tial reconstruction Of the Union. The Presi-
dent may have plan, and Congress may have
a plan, or dozen Of them, but unless the
heart of the Southern people is right there
can be no real and lasting pacfication. In
the spirit Of Col. Lee they should bury the
troubles Of the past, recognize the inevitable
force Of events, and unite in fresh and hearty
devotion to the old flag, the only flag, the
ever glorious stars and stripes and in de-
termination to cement the States in Union
Of love and reverence which nothing can ever
disturb. So may the political sea be quickly
quoted and new era of peace and good will
happily inaugurated. So may greater pros
perity attend the Republic than at any time
in the past.
Nothing good can come Of clinging tenaci-
ously to dead issues, or anything short of I'M
conditional devotion to the whole Union, and
to its reconstruction upon basis so firmly
grounded in liberty and justice and IN the
hearts Of the people, that it will be as endu-
ring as the everlasting hills.

THE ROUTES THROUGH ARIZONA.

Everything points TO Arizona as affording
the best and only practicable railroad routes
across the continent. The SHOWS Of the
past winter, have demonstrated the utter i'm
practicability of the routes across the Sierras.
Even the enterprise Of Wells, Fargo & Co. in
staging, has been bafiled, and mails have been
delayed for days at time. The Denver pa
pers complain bitterly Of the depth Of srow
in Bridger's Pass, and say railway through
it will be practically imperative during from
three TO six months Of the year.
The Alta thinks, if the passes west and
south Of Denver will admit, the true route
is that way, and through Arizona. 1t says
"This severe, stormy, snowy winter has
about satisfied public curiosity on two points
First, that the best route for a railway from
the waters Of the Mississippi to the Pacific,
is south of latitude 35-, and second, that che
best route for steamships hence to Japan is
on or near the 33d parallel. Whatever may
be attempted to the far North or far South,
we believe it is on these two lines that will
ultimately be conducted the great bulk Of
San Francisco trade with the East and West
in which, she may now be regarded without
rival"
The San Bernardino Guardian is wide
awake on the subject. We quote from q
late number:
"The Southern line is open all the yeal
round. There is nothing to obstruct the
constant speed of the steam-horse; oveI
plains, plains, plains, all the way, or hill;
which present no engineering difficulties
with delicious, balmy climate, more favora
bic for travellers in midwinter, than tho
northern route can be even in summer. Thi.
line has been commenced and is being pushed
through with commendable energy and DIS
patch, and when finished, viii at once com
mand the trade Of the Pacific coast. We
then will have direct railroad and telegraphiC
communication with St. Louis and San Fran,
cisco. Speed the happy day, say We"

Pondent Of the Ca,son APpeal, writing from
Washington recently, says;
A son Of Senator Cowan has been amusing
himself by preparing table showing The
heighti weight, age, size Of chest and head Of
the senators IL appears that in all these
physical characteristics they exceed by from
twenty-five to 40 per cent. the average Of
men. Fourteen out Of forty-nine Senators
are are over SIX feet IN height, twelve weigh over
Soo pounds, and the average age is fifty-two
years; doubt if such an average of phys

any similar assemblage in the world.

THE NEW FRANCHISE Law.

The following is certified copy of the
new franchise law of Congress, extending
suffrage in the Territories:
An Act to regulate the elective franchise in
the Territories Of the United States.
Re Il enacted by NE Senate and House of Repre-
sentafices Of the United States Of America IN
Congress assembled,
That from and after the passage Of this act
there shall be no denial Of the elective fran
chise in any of the Territories Of the United
States, now, or hereafter to be- organized, to
any citizen thereof, on account OF race, color
or previous condition Of seryitude and all
acts OF parts Of acts, either of Congress or
the Legislative Assemblies Of said Terrific
ries, inconsistant with the provisions Of this
act, are hereby declared null and void.
The negro population Of Arizona Is so small
that this will make but little difference in
the vote. The law will be observed at the
ensuing election, and If all the contrabands
rally TO the polls, their total vote in the Ter
ritory will we think not exceed twenty.
