The IALE OF ARIZONA.-On the old
Spanish maps the territory of Arizona is
called Arezuma, and Il wild tradition still
prevalent among the Pueblo Indians, says
it is the name of an Aztec Queen, who
once ruled over the plains and mountains
stretching away to the western waters
She was white and beautiful, and two RI
val kings Of the South sought her hand
But she refused their offers, preferring to
remain unwedded rather than link her
fate and that Of her people to a strange
land. Wars resulted, in which the In
dian BOadicea led her swarthy warriors to
battle. After years of terrible strife. dur,
ing which the rivers ran blood and the
cities were laid in ruins, the followers of
Arezuma were ovegpowered. Then prof
fers of peace came again from a Southern
king but Arezuma received them not
With few warriors she left the land she
could not rule, and never was heard of
again. Some think she viii return with
Montezuma to redeem the Aztec race
Others say she died in the mountains,
with her soldiers. Her spirit visits FL
San Francisco, and when the Indian huns
ters pass through the forest in the pale
moonlight they hear the sighing Of the
Aztec Queen. And some say they have
seen a form of beauty passing towards
the snow peaks, dressed in white and
gold, bearing in one hand silver bow,
and in the other culver from which all
the arrows has been fired. After the
conquest of Mexico many Spanish adven-
turers led exploring parties into this land
amongst them Coronado and Micas, who
returned to speak in extravagant terms
of the number Of people and immense
wealth found in the mountains and along
the Colorado. The people they met have
passed away and degenerated, but the
beautiful landscapes and wealth remain.

A "I.oInIv Love Renst.

The grand rally of the loyal at the
Court House ON Saturday night has been
the theme of considerable merriment.
The crowd was ridiculously insigniti-
cant: indeed but for the charitable at
tendance of few Democrats who
responded to the signals of distress
given out by au hours ''frantic expcstu-
latlou" from the bell, the affair would
have rrsembled rehearsal, much more
than Il regular performance. We learn
that some of the points made by the
speakers were fully up to the pare
Congo standard. Negro or nothing,
with the chances in favor of the latter
appears to have been the substance OF
the defamation.
After getting outside OF few doses Of
plain Ethiopian, the assemGlage went

on Saturday night is smoked in the
"lUyar pipe to-day.

EVERY reader Of the Democrat who
has seen Mr.. Pendleton's proposition
stated by himself in his Cleveland
speech, can see the downright falsehooG
Of those representing him to be in favor
of issuing two billions of greenbacks.
Mr.. Pendleton's proposition does not
necessarily involve the initiation of the
currency to the extent of single dollar
above what it is now. The only specific
measures embraced in it are-first, keep
ing the present non-interest bearing
debt of eight hundred millions as it is,
instead of funding it on interest as pro-
posed by our Republican Statesmen" ;"
thus saving forty-eight millions a year
in gold; and second, the substitution of
notes issued directly by the government
instead of notes endorsed by it as now,
by which operation four hundred mil
lions in five-twenties will be paid off,
and twentJ-four millions a year now
paid in gold interest upon them will be
saved. In other words Mr.. Pendleton
proposes, in opposition TO Republican
policy, TO save seventy-two millions of
dollars a year i'll gold to the people
without any imitation of the currency

Tue negroes of Louisiana are more III
teiligent and more wealthy, and are ac-
corded a higher position by the whites,
than the negroes of any other State
Aud the Louisiana Convention is point
cd TO a. the model of all the black-and-
tan constitutional gatherings. The
"copperheads" have made great many
criticisms upon these bodies, but We
find one in the New York EreRiRg Pos
,Radical) copied from the New Orleans
correspondence of the Springfield
Mass Republican (Rsdical) that is q
little the severest of anything yet said
of them. We quote:
The members are absut equally diyid'
ed between colored aud white, aud are
luterspeTssd without distinction. There
Is more familiarity and social freedom,
rs Is the case here generally, among
them than | am accustomed to; and for
something else here, TIE negroes are
not black. Only five or six out of the
whole number are Of full black blood.
The rest are Kaleidoscope of color.
There are fine gentlemen among them,
with elegant French manners, and be-
trayiug no consciousness of social in
fer0rity.
The writer then goes on to give a
description of the manner of doing bus.
mess, aud feeling in the Convention,
saying that notwithstanding their IA
'mlliarity, questions and animosities OF
race break out far more angrily and
frequently than at Montgomery" and
concludes as follows:
If these are the people to frame insti
tutionS, it is foolish to admire Lord
SOners. | could not pass it to theil
credit to see them spend two days in the
middle of their session upon how to get
their pay of ten dollars a day out of III

yentiOu, this is The WedkGsi the most disor

Such is Radical evidence upsn th'
character of the model black and-taI
convention Of Louisiana, which, til,

boaSted, contained numerous bastardi
whose negro blood was mixed with tn,
best white brood Of the South, aui
which, the Republicans correspondent
tells us, embraces many "ine" saddle

"manners, and betraying no conscious

The American Free Trade League


Holds that every man has natural
right to exchange the product of his Ia
Dor, wherever he can obtain the most
for it. That he should be free to seek
his swn welfare in his own way, so long
as he does not infringe the rights of
others. That, so far as he is deprived
of these rights, he is in slavery.
1t holds that every country has its pc
culiar advantages, and that to produce
what can be most easily produced in 1t,
aud to exchange such products for what
is more easily produced elsewhere, is
the most profitable exertion of its in
dustry. That the true means of sncour'
aging Home Industry and of lesseAing
poverty is to remove every obstacle TO
the free exchange of the products OF Ia
Dor.
1t holds that the Protective System,
so-called, is only national short-sighted'
ness which defeats its own ends. That
il is contrary to the wise aud benefcent
laws of Providence; that it diverts
capital and labor from the most eff.
cient occupation, to others proved less
efficient by their need of artificial sup.
port: that it is an odious form of legis,
iatiou: that it is fertile source of So
cial, sectional and international discord;
that it encourages commercial dishon-
esty and official corruption.
Ii holds that Free Trade with all the
world will conduce to our highest vel
fare and is pre-eminently worthy OF
the American people, who should be
foremost in breaking down every social
and commercial barrier.
The American Free Trade League sub
mits to taxation and duties TO meet the
necessities of the Government, but de-
nounces as robbery and tyranny all tax
alton for the benefit of special classes.
The League urges all who agree with
these principles to unite with it in OBJ
tanning complete emancipation for in
dustry and commerce.
