SONORA.

It is amazing that in the attention given to land purchases in Washington, so little is said of in Sonora The San Domingo land purchase attracts great notice and MT. Orth, M C. from Indiana has made stirring speech in its favor. Yet We venture 10 sny where there is one reason for buying that Island, rich as it is there are dozen for buying Sonora, Gen. Banks, Chair man of the committee on foreign affairs in the house, is said to think so and other prominent men are waking up 10 the idea, Lately the New York Horid the chief democratic organ had this sensible article on the subject;
 "Here is chance for an effort of diplomacy in the real interest of the United States. As usual, sundry Revolutionary movements are active in Mexico. The movement in Sinaloa and Sonora may be made to proftably concern this country. Sinaloa and Sonora are Norths wes'ern States Of Mexico, the latter of which borders upon our soil Their shore is on the Gulfof California, from which very promising, extensive, inland territory of ours Arizona, is shut of by the intervening breadth of Sonora. Ina: territory-and the territory also of New Mexico-needs port on the Pacific Neither of those territories can thrive without such a port, which will permit goods 10 enter it from other parts of the United States free of duty, Sonora itself, aside from the port of Guaymas, which ia her advantage, is State rich in min- erals and grazing lands which would be a val- uable acquisition in itsels Now, the Mexican government is troubled, and will for an indef- nite period be troubled, by the wild and way ward deniZens of that wild, half waste area Al present chief named Reyes, who has collected followers there, pronounce" against Juarez expels custom house officers of the Mexican government, and asserts the independence ot the State. It is the best possible opportunity for Overtures to Juarez and bargain to be ratified by the Mexican Congress for a cessior of Sonora 90 the United States Such a bargain might be made cheaper now than ever; and after it is made, five hundred Americans could easily walk in, subdue the present "revolution. ists," and possess the soil That would initiate the rapid population and development of tht part of this country that has been most neglected but which offers liberal bounty to every future pioneer"

If there is an old clothes society in this part of the moral vineyard, we would suggest to its mem- bers that these children of the forest receive a little of their attention. Our modesty was ters ribly shocked. Another such an exhibition and we will call upon the City Fathers for an ord- nance.

If he dies, we'll, then, there will be flaw in the indictment, and he will get off any way.
