him hereafter, as he belongs, body and boots, to Pima county.
 Were it not for his impertincnt interference 1, in military af!airs, General Gregg would have gone right along under the liberal orders is- sued from headquarters for his guidance, and might have accomplished great good for the Territory and Nation. But the scheming Governor, for some cause best known Co him self, made war upon General Mcdowell, and, unfortunately, drew General Gregg into the fight with him. X preamble and resolutions were introduced into the last Legislature Dy member of the Pima delegation, denouncing General Mcdowell in unmeasured terms which, mean-sprited, ,low-nung and vindictive as were their contents, met with the hearty approval of Governor Mccormick, and the willing support of every member of the Leg islature from Pima county. They were oppo- sed by MeSsrs Giles, Cook, and Rush, of the Yavapai delegation, which fact goes to show that the people of Yayapa county condemned the cowardly attack made upon General Mcdowell. We would not speak of this matter in this connection were it not that the Governors organ insinuates that the peo- ! pie of Yavapai county hate Gen. McDowell It also has the audacity and brazenness to court that officer, in order that he may use his influence to keep the military headquar tcrs at Tucson. But the General is not quite SO green upon these matters as the editor and ! his prompters imagine. and headquarters will be selected by the officer commanding the district, without any interference on the part of General McDowell, more for convenience and centrality than with the view of support ing set of lazy camp followers. Here is what DcIong and Mccormick thought of each other a short time ago. As editor of the MINER, the Governor said:
 The salutatory of Judge De Long, the new editor of the irizoniap indicates fair dealing, but we regret to observe that in an article upon the Capital question, be has fallen into
 the common prejudice below the Gila, and
 made assertions which show a gross ignorance
 of the question, or determined spirit of mis
 representation. Let us hope only the former
 which is bad enough Here follows the arti
 cle in full, for we do not wish to comment
 upon it without letting our readers see it fol
 themselves:
 JUSTICE TO TUCSON DENIED.
 Sometime since our citizens circulated petition and secured many signers asking ou
 Governor to convene the next session of th'
 Territorial Legislature at this place, as th Capital had never been permanently locate, ! at Prescott, and 1t having had three sessions r convened there. The citizens further claimc'
 that it was an act of public justice to tn people of this section of the Territory tha this reasonable request should be granted. ' After some delay, our worthy Governor , through the columns of the Arizona MISgR - youchsafes reply and q hat denial of tn .. request of the petitioners; giving at som
 length his reasons for refusal.
 The main objection is that the Territory h poor and his Excellency cannot understan' t where the money is to come from to pay fo moving the public offices but his Excellenc
 finally asserts that should the Legislature, a
 the next session, pass an act to remove th C Capital from Prescott he would throw no ot e stacle in the way could he be convinced tha h no undue influences were brought to bed upon the Legislature, and that the will of th
 people was fairly expressed in the matter. v In the Capital question, Tucson has bee IS cheated out of her birth-right, by set $ selfish schemes from the first.
 m When Ex-Gov. Goodwin and his staff n. officials, first came to the Territory in ls6 I. (and the present Governor was the Secretar A' af the Territory and the controlling spirit ct the party,) it is well known to all that Tu, al son was regarded as about the only place 1t the Territory of any importance; that
 was regarded by the U. s. Government an :, those whom it was sending out to organi. 10 and govern it-all their baggage, packag T. and letters, every thing, far long time, qge .v directed to Tucson. For some reason, aft ,d these officials arrived at Santa Fe, N, NJ.
 change was made and their tents "pitched '' the wilderness" instead of coming to Tucso CT where -oui,i have been found buildings tn C. would have answered their purposes. WI ne this change was made has never been sa a isfactorily explained, and the inference is, tn
 the Capital was established in the forest tn ne they could have kingdom of their own; ar on as corallary in proof of this conclusion, eaG to and all of the porty soon became possessed on feet which if taken at their valuation (e of cept when paying taxes) would make ea'
 the rival of the Rothschilds.
 " We are sorry to say these feet have n nt been productive, but still the interested pa re ties, of whom the present Governor is on ed are holding on with the death agony IT, something to turn mp and relieve them, al Y will until the last straw has disappear h- from the surface of the enyeloping wate lis Should our next Legislature pass an act ,m the removal of the Capital from Prescott, '
 are afraid our worthy Governor would fail
 see that the Legislature reflected the will
 the people of the Territory.
 Give it up Governor, it is of no use, ev en rats will desert sinking ship"
