 THE ELECTION
 In Mobave county, passed of very quietly, and | exceedingly harmonious. Indeed, il was about | the most one-sided political affair VIC have heard of in a long time But one polling place was opened in the county, which was nt Mohaye City. Fily two votes were cast at that place ,ofwhich dr Mccormick received 5l, and Mfr Brady, l, tha, of Jas. r. Bull. Right here VIC thank friend Bull f5T ;he ftmness displayed ia voting his sentiments. in the face of suelcopposition. To those citizens of Mohave county who voted for the trickster, Mccormick, we have not word to say. Their consciences will hereafter, upbraid and torment them for having done so. The poor steamboat men who were " steamboated" into voting according to the dictates of their wealthy em- ployers have proved themselves willing tools, instead Of good citizens, and if God will forgive them for voting for the plunderers' candidate. we will. Wm. II. Hardy received all the vote, cast for Councilman. The County ticket elect is as follows: Sherif-Paul Breon Rceorder- Jas. r. Bull Treasurer-w. N. Hardy Board of Supervisors-B. Spear, F Becker, and J. Fleming. Messrs Bull and Hardy have filled their respective offices before, with credi. and ability.
 "rtu.urE COUNTY.r
 We were hardly prepared to learn that the people of the strip Of land formerly known as PAh-Ute county, Arizona, which said strip. all know, to be part and parcel of Lincoln county, Nedvaa, had opened a poll or polls, and through sheer ignorance, or something worse, cast about l2o votes for the demsgogue Mccormick, but Mfr. H. has assured us that such Is the fact It now remains to be seen whether these votes will be included in the general count whether Gov erno. SaiIord and Secretary Bashford are sufici- ently base, and lost to all shame, as to sanction this outrage, in order to swell their chiefs majority. Time will tell.
 ] MINING MATTERS.
 The old Sacramento District was alive with miners and prospeciors,-new men, flied with vim and determined upon making the lodes pay. l THE INDIANS.
 The Mohaves ard Piutes were preparing for another encounter. The former--to the nusber of about 700 warriors-werc cncamped ia a fortified village, watching, with palptating hearts for the coming of their foe, the Flutes. who it was said, were encamped on the Muddy, strengthening their ranks with recruits from other tribes. At latest accounts, the Piate force was about 400. They claimed to have nearly lSo guns much greater number than the Mohaves had. But. the latter had plenty of ammunition, aud were practicing every day. Both parties had been playing sweet to the whites soldiers and ciiizens-who, with much good sense. had refused to take up the quarrel of either .rsbe. As cowardice alone can prevent the two tribes from engaging in mortal combat, and it being so the interest of civilization that several hundred of them should die, we sincerely hope that, when the tug of war does come, Nohave and Piutc will perform prodigies of valor. The Flutes claimed that Sheeram and his band of Wallapais were go- ing to assist them in the coming fight, bat this, think. was a" bluifp The latter Indians have, for long time past, been acting very well, and we hope they will not again engage in war with in- dians or whites. The Mohaves were keeping their courage up by dancing and yelling around the scalps taken in the last fight.
 CONDITION or THE RoAn
 The Prescott and Mohave wagon-road was in fine condition when Mr. Hardy passed over It. notwithstanding which, men were at work short ening ana making it better. The large drovcs of cattle between Prescott and Hardyvilie were fat as seals, and several of them will soon be started for California, uia the Mohave river route which is the only route between Arizona and California over which stock ought to be driven ] it being well supplied with water and grass both of which necessary things are mighty scarce } upon the two routes to the south of 1t. IMMIGRANTS.
 party of immigrants, from Nevada, are com. ing this way At Williamson Valley. Mr. Hardy saw several immigrants who had recently arrived from Texas, tia the 35th parallel route. Among them were a few families. They brought ten wagons, and large numbers of stock They in formed him that scores of families, and herds were coming over the route, and that, hereafter all Texas people would come this way with theil stock.
 TALK or RELIxouHHING COUNTY ORGANIZATION.
 This is g question that, for long time past has been discussed by the people Of Mohavs county, many of whom, we learn, are yet in favor of it. Of course, 1t is a hard matter for so few people to keep up county government, and VI would advise them to press the matter upon tho next Legislature did we not think that bettei day will soon dawn for the county, She ha, mines of great richness timber, water and grasl in abundance . fine, healthy climate, Ao3 h' best and shortest route between New Mexico and California. Therefore, her people ought to con
