Removal of the National Capital.

X lively interest is being taken by the peo- pie of the Great West in the question of re- uIoval of the National Capital from Wash ington to St. Louis, and we hope to see the question discussed until the transfer is made. If it is the desire of the people of all the States and Territories to live together forcUer, under one flag and one government, the cap ital should be removed without delay. We need scarcely say that we are in favor of sticking and, as matter of course, favor able to the removal. Washington is too far East. We want our public servants, public buildings, records, etc, located at some point farther West, and do not care much whether that point be St. Louis or Prescott. We would like, however, to have one session of Congress held in our town and Territory, for then, we know, Congressmen would be sure to see the wild, intractable savage as he really is, and would aid us materially in recon structing him. Just imagine the energy with which Benjamin Butler would vociferate at ye Apache, were he to suffer as we do, at bis hands But we have digressed from our original purpose, which was to inform our readers that on the Doth of October next National Convention will assemble in St. Louis to consider the question above spoken of Each State to be represented by two del. egates from each of it's Congressional dis tricts, and four delegates from each State at large. The delegates to be appointed respect lively by the Governors of the States. The Territories will be entitled to two delegates, :o 5o appointed by the Mayor of Washington City. For Delegates from this Territory we name John B. Allen, of Tucson, and Richard c. Mccormick. Both these men understand we'll how to remove capital, ride their per foruisnce here.

" Great Questions"

Truly, this is \ progressive world, aud we Americans are its most progressive people. |, is surprising to behold how quickly we settle "great question" and, SO soon as 1t is settled, spring another of greater and vaster importance. The negro question was ''bus- ter" but it did not take long to "settle" it and the negro, too.
 After that exploit, We ought to have had a respite from strife and turmoil But, no. the pot must be kept boiling, and the people kept at "loggerheads," in order to draw their attention from the doings of rogues in high places. No sooner had we laid aside the ter ribe tools with which we hacked "the fetters of the slave" than a new slogan was soun- ded-a new question sprung-which bids fair to eclipse any previous one. This question is commonly and very properly called the "Chinese question" In California, it is the main question, because there are in that State over 100000 Chinese-the lowest and most degraded of their race, and, we believe, of the human family. Now, the great majority of the people of California are opposed to the introduction of any more Chinese, and the State would no doubt, soon lessen the num- Der of those already there were it left free to do so whenever it sees fit. Knowing this. Congress, backed by the middling and we'll. to-do iazzaroni of the country, and the poor, blind workers who bnzz attendance on them, is anxious to take from her and all her sis. ter Stsees the right to put mp the bars against the ,eprous swarms of Asia, and should the 18th amendment to the Constitution Do car ried by the requisite number of States, we may bid goodbye to peace, prosperity and gscd feeling. The Chinese will come here 'oy the thousand; they will spread all over the countryj they win have the right to vote and hold office; their interests will clash with the interests of the native and foreign born white citizens of the country. and then will come a struggle the end of which will be that John Chinaman will have to retire home ward behind bis walls. They are not of us, and can never live among us in peace. Let us, then, avoid this struggle, by discounten- shcing the immigration of the almond-eyed slaves, cf whom we never could make Amer. jeans.

People and Coaches Coming.

A letter from V Frank Valle, of Sherman town. White Pine county, Nevada, of date August 2, to Cal Jackson, of this place, states that the emigration from Eastern Nevada to Upper Arizona, this fall, will be very large. He mentions the fact that ten coaches, with passengers for Prescott, had already len there, and six others were preparing to start on the 4,h inst. The fare, from Shermaniown to Prescott, is but S75. These coaches, Mir. Vale says, are destined for a regular line that is to run from Prescott to Albuquerque, and, of course, to connect with lines to Neva- da and California The coaches, we presume, belong to Wells, Fargo & Co.
 Should this news prove true, and we know no reason why it should not, the long silen' rooster of Arizona can flap his wings and crow, for the hour of deliverance from isola tion will have come.

Colonel Stacy very properly arrested Willis and he is now in the guard-houSe. Such an occurrence is deeply regretted by all citizens, as It can but make matters worse, and it was a disgracefu breach of faith that even in the case of Sheerum should be observed. Willis | has this to excuse him: He is q half-witted, or half crazy man, al all times, and was, be- sides, drunk when he done the deed. Shee- rum IS almost an intolerable sight for us to | look upon, as it is we'll known that be was principal in the murder of great many of our citizens.
 4 meeting of citizens was held here recent | ly, for the purpose of considering means for the protection of those hving in the valley. 1 The meeting was wei attended. Resolutions were adopted, asking that mountain Indians be kept out of the valley, and condemning the conduct of Willis also, expressing thanks to Colonel Stacy, commanding Camp Mohave, i for his assistance in the burial of Taylor, and for attempts to find out what Indians com mitted the murder.
 George Fuller former member of Com. psny L, sth Cavalry, has been missing since Sunday last. He was last seen near the bank of the river, in an intoxicated state. IL is thought that be fell into the river and was drowned.
 Mir. Cunningham, formerly of Prescott, ar rived here recently, with a portion of the Moss prospecting party. They drought iii ores that certainly look rich their samples of copper ore are exceedingly rich, showing much native copper. They say they have a ledge of it eighty yards uids. They claim to have silver mines equally as rich as those oi White Pine. They are situated about forty miles north of Rock Springs, forty miles west of the Colorado river, and some fifteen mile: from the Potos' mines. They say the coun try is well supplied with grass and timber

AMoxe the notable events of last ",

Aaosc the notable events of last week, says the Ala California of the 18th ult., was the extraction of S400o0 from the Monu. mental Mine, on the side of the Sierra Butte, including one piece worth s25,00o. It was found near the surface in vein tbe quartz oi which was decomposed or broken up by at. mospheric and aqueous influences. The gold was so coarse that it was taken out without the use of mill. Several similar pockets but none 50 rich, had been found before in the same vicinity. Four years ago one yielded S13,000 in few days.

OFFICIAL REPoRT.-The San Francisco Times, of the 18th ult, publishes the greater portion of Lieutenant McCleaye's official re- port of his recent fight with Indians in the penhstchapet mountains, but as pretty full account of the affair was published in the MINER soon after the fight, we will content ourself with noting that the Lieutenant thanks K. s. Woolsey and the other citizens who accompanied him and took part in the fight He also thanks Mir Sexton the Messrs. Cusenbary and other officers Of the Yulture Mining Company, of Wickenburg, for favors. The troops, he says, "did their duty in a cheerful and soldier-like manner" They be- longed to E troop, lst cavalry, and c troop, sth cavalry. In remarks accompanying the report, Gen. A. J. Alexander said: "This off oer made most enviable reputation while in the volunteer service fighting the Navajoe. and Apaches; and, as his present expedition shows, only needs the opportunity to distin- guish himself still further. I most heartily commend him to the favorable notice of the commanding General.

TIRED or PoLIrIcs.-'Way down in Maine, the people will meet together at the polls, Monday next, and elect Governor, and oth- CT officers. There are three parties in that State, this year, and, of course, each party has placed its "best men in the field" Po- iitieai parties always do that very same thing, over tbe left. Now, the politicians have tried their very best to arouse the people to the importance @ of the occasion, but it seems, the people have paid little heed to their appeals, for the Portland Press says Clam bakes and chowders, moonlight cx- cursions, picnics and festivals seem far moro attractive than anything connected with cam paigns and political contests" And again "There is no excitement, no enthusiasm, no passionate appeals; and apparently but little interest in caucusses, conventions, candidates or results"
