sumed, has been altered and amended so
much that its whole tenor and spirit is
changed; the party is powerless for good
in this respect. These papers assume
that the Democratic party is failure,
and the policies it has opposed have
triumphed and think the living issues OF
this day can only be successfully met by
some new organization, which can divest
itself Of all old prejudices. We think
the whole of this mere bubble about a
name. But Radicalism must
be opposed, and the old principles, which
no other name but Democracy can exs
press, must be adhered to. The word
Democrat and Democracy are endeared
to us and to the people of this country
by hallowed associations. So long as
there shall be distinction between a
monarchical and republican form of govr
eminent that long will there be DemoA

Another Meat and Blood Phenomena.

The Los Angeles, California; Nets, of a recent date, says: "Nr Parker, an old and respected citizen of L's Nietos township, ex- hibited to us yesterdy, n number of pieces of meat that fell on tle farm of J. Hudson, Esq, in that township at l2 o'clock m, Sun day last. From whatwe can learn, it was shower of meat and hood similar to that re- ported in Santa Clara county, some months ago, covering an area about two acres of ground. Some ten orfiore persons were at the house of NIT. Hudon, preparing for the funeral of child, mdwere startled by the fall of meat and bloc, that lasted fully three minutes; covering tle blades of corn and leaving them red. he blood that lodged upon the corn blades and grass, was mixed with a short, fine hail resembling the outer coating of furred animals The meat which was found over the e1tire two acres, was in pieces ranging from fine particles to strips of six and eight inchesin length, and had the appearance of being freshly torn from some animal or animals. Ar Parker exhibited to us several pieces of the meat, varying from one to six inches in l,rgth; one of which ap- peared to be piece Of the lights of some animal; another was Eynr, and another, picked up by gentleman preent, was the lower part of heart, in perfect shape and form, and about one and a ialf inches long. A large quantity of the neat was gathered up and preserved by dif.rint parties. The day was perfectly clear, and the sun was shining brightly, and although the shower of meat and blood appeared to ome from the coast, there was no perceptsbl, breeze at the time. The occurrence naturally created consider able excitement among tose present, and the hope is freely indulged l, that science will offer some reason for thi very singular pbe- nomena.

The Powell Expedition all Right,

Letters have been received from Major Powell of the Colorado River Expedition up to June 29th, at which time the party were all safe and lying by for few days for rest. The party had passed four canyons, of about twenty-five miles each in length, the walls of which were from 2,OO0 to 2,SOO feet high {; were compelled to make portages oi rations, etc, and let the boats down with lines. One of the boats was wrecked with loss of portion of the supplies and instruments The instruments were duplicated. Some fine fos- sis have been collected, and a grand geolog- icaT collection and good map will be pre- pared. The boats seem to be 3 success; aI- though filled with water many times, they never sink The wreck was due to misun- derstanding of orders. The party was rest ing for eight or ten days to make repairs and dry rations. They were all in good health and spirits, and filled with high hopes of sue cess.

CoNING OF WHITE PISERs.-Iudging from White Pine letters recently published in the California papers, Arizona is threatened with a "deluge of fortune-hunters, from the land of chloride Well, as previously remarked by us, if they come here with the intention of settling down, and are backed up by lit- tie capital, there is no doubt in our mind but that they will like che country and do well in it. But, should they come 'dead broke" expecting to find chunks of gold in every gulch, or employment at high wages, we make no bones of informing them, beforehand, tha. they will miss it. We believe our country to be richer in minerals than White Pine, but "t takes mine to work mine,n and the h. dians having long since stolen us poor,we have not the means to work our mines, consequent ly they rest in their casings, awaiting "capi- tai" to develop them. Then, too, the present summer has been an exceedingly dry one crops are not good, and our farmers need but little help, therefore, poor men, like ourselves will see that it is not good for them to come here, and we hope they will stay away unti we advise them to come, which win be when ever their services are needed To the mar of capital, the farmer with team and a few hundred dollars, and the miner or company of miners with sufficient means to open q quartz mine, build arastras and work the ore or work placer claims in a proper manner Arizona offers splendid chances, and we risk nothing in inviting them to come here. Al others had better stay away.
