The San Diego Union says :

"Ihe Prescott people are troubled about their mail matters, and the Miner complains that what he may say will go for nouhgt' and there. between papers. The contractors failed to come to time with the San Dego mails and the Union opened out on them and the resuls Is regular time with every mail, to and from San Diego
 Nothing like having paper in community that can Stralghten matters out when they get into Snarl. Let the citizens Of Prescott sub scribe li5erally for lhe San Diego Union, and their local affairs will be watched by a paper that can influence mail contractors ever" 7"
 Thus it becomes evident that the TnioQ in times past found it necessary to awaken mail contractors to a sense of dutyand that the Miner undertooka similar ask utfaiiiug gtoaccomplish anything gave it ID in disgust, When will it be come our duty U speak to mail contractors? |? Thus far they have not given us an opportunity. Our mails, both eastern and western come 10 hand with that regularity which entities our contractors to thanks for doing their full duty rather than censure for negIec; Of the same Mr. J.

The following clipped from the Rocky mou1s tain Ne'cS tells us of the new civizing and christainizng dodge by which the noble son of the forest is about to be as8ailcd, it says:
 The Universal Peace Society has issued T circular letter to the vld Indians everywhere. duly worried thee and thou and thine, and illustrated with very neat steel engraving of Wm, Penn and his first Indian Treaty, in which he cheated the noble reds out of Penn sylvania. The same cut em5elishes the en. velope in which the ircular is sent out under the frank ofan II. c. Great mistakes were made inprinting them in plain English and lheuinnot sending Friend around to read 1t to the lazy devils

At the April meeting Of the Memphis Typo
graphical Union. No. II. the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose reported the followinR
preamble and resolutions. which were adopted
WHEREAS. II having pleased the Almighty
TO call from his sojourn among us cur highly
esteemed brother, George W. Stoddard, mem
Der of our local Union and permanent membfr

long known to many Of us as nfm and jealous

quarter of a century, seduIouely endeavored TO
elevate and dignity It. both BY word and deed /;
therefore.
ReIolued, That in the death of our hepored

The President has sent in specia
message to Congress requesting that an
election be provided for on the new con-
stitutions by the people in the States Of
Mississippi and Virginia. Congress had
desired to leave the matter of recon
structing these States over until next
December; but should it take up
this subject now the time required for
debate will necessitate the farther post
ponement of the day (l0th) agreed upon
for adjournment.
President Grant thinks that the States
above referred to should be far enough
advanced in reconstruction by next De-
cember for their Representatives to take
their seats in Congress.
Mr.. Trumbull, from the Judiciary
Committee, made a report, recommend
ing that the consideration of the Presi-
dents message be postponed until De-
cember next, which shows the intention
of the Senate to be to adhere to their first
resolution of leaving the unreconstructed
States under military rule for the pre-

Alexander III. stephens.

Latest information from Augusta, Ga.
is to the effect that Alexander 81
Stephens has suffered a relapse, and bis
life is now despaired of Such news,
indeed, is sad to contemplate, for no
truer man now lives (if yet he lives) than
Alexander 81. Stephens, the statesman
and orator. he is gentleman ofrare
intellectual attainments. and none of the
Southern heroes will pass of the stage
with more regret on the part Of loving
people than will this great aud good man.
We sincerely hope that his end is not
vet nigh.

Andrew johnson Coming to Mem.

Dispatches received by gentlemen in
our city inform us that Andrew johnson
contemplates paying Memphis visit
after speaking to the people of Nashville.
Without doubt he will be received by
men of all parties, or should be, with the
respect and kindEess due man who has
occupied the position of Chief Executive
of the nation. Mr.. johnson to-day is
nothing but private citizen, but the eyes
of all are turned to him, watching to see
what his future movements will be.
Knowing the man by the past, we all
apprehend that he contemplates some i'm
portant move on the political chessboard;
and his enemies may well stand ia dread
of him. for Johnson il Hueuce before the
masses in Tennessee is not eqLaled by
that of any one who has occupied the
stump in this State since the days OF
Jimmie Jones and James K. Polk. That
this man Of destiny will bring change
over the condition of things in his own
State we earnestly believe, and sincerely
hope he may. If any one can ex'
cite the masses to revolution by throwing
off this present yoke of crushing despot-
i en-, A. j. 10, without doubt, the man.
His old and ancient enemy, the Radicals,
map look for some pretty heavy knocks
from him before he finishes his tour
through the State. Brownlow's corrup-
ton, with the thieviBg negro-lovers,
who are stufing their pockets
full Of the peoples money, should be
shown up to the honest masses in their
ne colors. But what cares carpet
bagqer for that? You may call him
thief and prove him such, and he will
smile in his conceit and term it Yankee
sbrewdness. Whatever you say or do,
that Uriah Heap smile is still on his face.
We apprshend nothing short OF CATO
nine-tails we'll laid on, or term of
years in the penitentiary, would make
such treason odious with such men.
Mr.. johnson may talk of the present
corruption and the difficulty between
him and Congress, his past adminisira-
ton and ruined policy, but we fear that
will scarcely mend matters unless some
successful plan Of operation can be put
On foot by which the people may be
enfranchised, and, By the means placed
in their hands, correct the abuses
of the Government. We will listen with
interest to the words that may fall from
the lips Of this ex. Presideut, whose high
position should afford him an exact view
Of the whole surroundings. The day, as
spoken Of, upon which be will address
the people Of this community. is next
Wednesday. when the entire population
will doubtless tHrn out en- masse to hear
this great political vrangler.

as dark and bloody ground of revoiu'
ton and massacre, II is not presumable
that we can better ourselves by assoeia'
ton with such people, or that they may
be improved by the connection.
The people of this island is stepped in
blood and ignorance, and their govern
ment is to-day sad commentary upon
the rule that the Yankee would impose
upon the people of the South. We had
better learn first to govern ourselves well
before we attempt to raise other nations
from the mire of political degradation.
But this may be what the Yankee terms
If so we are not progress
sionists in that sense.

The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, at their meeting yesterday, au-
thorizsd Gen. Banks, their chairman, 10
report q resolution recommending the ap-
pointment of commissioner by The
President to make inquiries into the
financial condition Of San Domingo, the
products of the islAad, and the feeling Of
the inhabitants, with a view to getting in
formation in regard to the desirabiliiy OF
assuming the proposed position of pro-
teciorate Of that island. This is one OF
the late Radical pet moves TO sustain the
power of their party. What does the
United States want with that negro-rid'
den government Of San Domingo2 Our
territory is already large enough, aud
the Government sufficiently Africanizsd,
without being put in the same bog and
shaken up with those savage blacks.
The protectorate over this island will only
serve to increase the yesrly expenses
Of our own Government. For this Gov
eminent must see to it that the people OF
the Island shall have q government that
will protect both life aud property, and
to do so will necessitate the sending Of
troops thiiher, and ships aud men to pre-
serve the peace of the Stale.
We are to gain nothing but q Rsdica
State, that may, in the future, send blacl
Representatives to Washington City
If the governing party could see clearly
