M0wry and Brady.

Jeremy Diddler Mowry came to Ar
izona early in September, after an a5-
senoe OF over six years, footing his
horn for Congress. Finding himself
so universally offensive, he cast about
for some other man to meet with the
popular condemnation one week from
next Tuesday. Discovering in P. r.
Brady a man representing his own
views, he generously withdrew in
Brady's favor and SO wrote to the Alta.
Mcwry is laboring with all his imbe-
Gle power to elect Brady, and the lat
ter is essentially Mowry's man.
Voters OF Arizona, relnem Der that in
supporting Brady, you virtually sup
port Mowry, the man who has chiefly
in view the extension Of the Pima and
Maricopa reservation, the esta blish-
ment OF free trade with Mexico, and
the hediversion OF the government freight
from an Arizona to a foreign route.
Bear IN mind, also, that in support
ing Mccormick, you oppose all these
damaging schemes.

Don't BE Deceived.

The Brady men are flooding the up
per counties with letters to the effect
that they will carry Pima county by
a large majority. IL they don't know
they are writing untruths, they are
wofuIly deceived. The same men, in
1868, wrote in an equally confident
tone, that John 4. Rush would carr
Pima by 400 majority, and the cleo
ton proved that he got but 48 out of
about SOC
Pins viii give Mccormick two
votes to Brsly's one. This is the low
est estimate Of the best posted polite
ians, and appearances all indicate a
larger majority for Mccormick.
While. we would urge upon our
friends IN fac other counties to not re-
lax any effort to swell the majority
for Mccormick, we assure them that
Pima will give him a very large vote
over Brady, and all reports to the con-
trary are moraly put forth for their
supposed effect upon voters.

BRADY is trying to secure votes by
declaring that he is the friend of the
poor man, when he is without ability
to be the valuable friend of anybody.
Whatever Brady amounts to, he owes
principally to men who now strongly
oppose him.
If the Mowry- Brady policy prevail,
the station keepers and ranchars on
the Gila will soon thereafter perceive
the falsity and demagogic character of
Brady's professions of special regard
for their interests. Mccormick has
succeeded in turning constant string
Of freight teams from foreign route
to their own, and thereby gave them
enhanced prices for their grain and
hay, and patronage for their tables
and stables.
McCormick recognizes and dischar-
ges his duties impartially to al-poor
and rich. According to Brady's dec
larations, man becomes less entitled
to the benefits of legislation as his pro
perty acculnulates. Laws should
have an equal influence for good uI,on
all good citizens. Brady argues not

Governor McCOrmick's Letter re-
lating TO the Indians Right to
Vote.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, J
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR,
T-crAN- NJ .ncur 1910

TUCSON, MARCH IA, 1870.
SIR:-The following article in a
San Francisco paper has induced some
Of our politicians to propose to allow
the Pimas, Maricopas and other friend
ly Indian tribes in this Territory to
vote at the ensuing general election,
June 5 =
"We desire to call the attention OF
the Arizona politicians to much ne
elected source Of voting power which
slumbers in that happy Territory.
During the reign Of Iturbide, all In
dians not savages were made equal
before the law of Mexico, and were
clothed with the rights of citizenship.
By "savages " were meant those who.
did not dwell in villages and pursue
the arts of peace; all others were held
to be entitled to all the rights Of citi-
zens, as was the case of Juarez, who
is a full blooded Indian. When the
Territory from which Arizona was
carved was ceded to the United States,
it was provided in the treaty that the
rights Of the Indians and others should
be guaranteed, and that the rights OF
citizenship should be conferred by
Congress when it saw tit. That right
was conferred by the Organic Act OF
the Territory, and by the omission of
the usual phrase, Indians not taxed
from the prescribed qualifications oe
voters, the right Of suffrage was given
to Indians who were citizens under
the old Mexican law. The Pirnas.
Marieopas, and perhaps one or two
other tribes of peaceful and domesti-
Gated Indians are legally voters in Ar
iona, and it only remains for some
enterprising political candidate to get
votes for himself and just rights for
the aboriginals by securing the ballot
for them
I find that in the new amendment
to the constitution of the United States,
Art. XIV, Sec. 3, representatives are
to be apportioned in the States,
g counting the whole number of per-
sons excluding indians not tared." Is
this to be applied to Territories, or is
there any existing law under which
friendly Indians not taxed can be al
lowed to vote at our coming election?
BY giving an early reply, you will
greatly oblige,
Your ob't. servant,
3. c. MCCORMICK, Gov.
Hon. Henry Stansberry, Attorney
General of the United States, Wash
ington, D. G..
PiS. The franchise law Of congress
extending suffrage to the territories,
seems to exclude "no one account
OF race or color" who is citizen.

RaIston News.

Major Dickinson, Messrs. Johns,
Maygon and james passed through
Tucson on Tuesday en- route from Ral-
ston city to California. They give q
most satisfactory account OF the Burro
mines, their rich ores and future pros
perity.
Nj. Harpending paid short visit
last week to these mines, and was high
~ gratifed at his prospects, after 6,
careful personal inspection. He has
gone east for the purpose Of bringing
out machinery to develop his own
mines and those of others. 1t is repor-
ted to us that mills viii be in opera
ton next spring.
There is also d report that active
steps are being taken to construct o
railway to the Gila, by which to ship
ore to wood and water. The distance
from the mines to the river is various
ly stated at % to 40 miles, the latter
we think near the truth. The route is
free Of distractions, and the grading
will consist mostly Of clearing away
a little sage and other small brush.
Mr.. Meyers and Capt. Curtis, who
came out with the abOve-named party,
remain to look after the interests Of
the company.

One Mowry.

The accounts Of many people in Ari-
aona and elsewhere, show their &C
quaintance with one Mowry, surnamod

failed in its attempt to put some Imowl-
edge into him that would at some day

to have been a decent child, and gave
little promise Of becoming an impu-
dent hummer. It was not even sus-
picioned that he would be an migrate
TO the country that tried to make a
man Of him, and after accepting the
hospiaalities of gentlomen, he would
subsequently labor to bring odium
upon them, nor that he would possess
the submissive without the grateful
qualities Of common pup.
Mowry has been charitably tolera-

post IN southern Arizona, and among
them, Crittenden. The subjoined is a

nation, but leaves US to infer that 1t.

LIT. LEWIS, q. s. 4. Ay Dear SIR -
It is reported here that you are to be
used by the Mccormick people to vote
your whole command at Hughes
rancho, which has been made an cleo
ton precinct, your men to be voted as
citizens. General Stoneman when
here, said that he should regard, with
great disapprobation, any attempt by
officers or soldiers to interfere with the
election.
1 think you ought to know this, for
I have 10 idea that you will permit
yourself to be used as tool for dirty
pOiltlcaI intrigue.
Yours, very faithfully,
SYLVESTER MOwRY.

Congress, and this is one Of his meth

somewhat surprised that you should
still remain undecided in the matter OF
Offering yourself as candidate for

say that your re-election viii be pro-
cured by an overwhelming majority,

those who opposed you at the last

offering himself as candidate, but
would not be surprised to fisd him Ii

shall have arrived. His brother, Cap
tain Charles Mowry, and myself, had

material used in this Office. He was
under the impression that the press
and material were the property of Syl-
vester Mowry, and therefore under
took TO question me regarding an arti-
Gle which I published commenting on
the transportation OF govt. freight by
way Of Guaymas. His tone was
naughty and 1nensoing, and was met
il kind; and when informed that he
could have the Mowry press by calling
at ray ot1ce, he "cool=d Of consissr-
a5ly; and concluded by requesting that

INDIANS LIGHT TO VoTE.-A COM
plete copy, transcribed from the rec
ords, Of Gov. Mccormick letter TO the
Attorney General Of the United States,
touching the voting qualifications Of
the Indians, viii be found in this pa
per. The readers careful attention is
directed to it The letter completely
refutes the wilfully slanderous charge
that the Governor was III any manner
laboring to secure the vote Of the In
dams for himself OF anyone else. 1t
was openly declared by a public jour-
nal that the Indians had a right to
vote, and the assertion was backed by
such citations Of authority as would be
liable to mislead many men, if not
contradicted by higher authority. The
letter shows but one end to have been
sought by its author, viz: Were
friendly Indians voters in the Terrific
ry or not?
The wretched vilifers know this full
well, but their only source of opposi-
tion to Mccormick being nisrepresen-
tation and willful ISLANDERS, they will
continue as they have begun. Having
no reputation for truth or honor, they
take kindly to vilifcation and false
hood, and their course on the letter IN
question is just what is congenial with
out being beneficial to them.

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are
not the only ones to be dreaded. Canker or dry
rot does not blast a tree as suddenly as g. stroke
of lightning but unless arrested it destroys it as
certainly; and in like manner chronic debility, al
low fever, is as sure to sap the springs of life
eventually any acute disease, if not checked
by invigorsting medication. There is something
inexpressibly touching in the spectacle of pre-
mature decay, Langor, pallor, emaciation, de-
preston of spirits and distaste for exertion are
its ordinary symptoms, and they should be
promptly met by tonic treatment. The best in
vigorant and exhilarant that can be administered
in case OF this kind is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. The stimulating principle Of the prepare
ton rouses the dormant energies Of the system,
and the strengthening and regulating properties
give permanent and healthful impulse to the
vital forces thus brought into play. The failing
appetite is re-awakened, the process of digestion
and assimilation quickened, the quality of
the blood is improved, the secretions become
more natural, and every organ that contributes
to the nourishment of the body undergoes salu-
tary change. By these means the repair OF the
physical structure is effected and its health Gnd
vgor restored. In no class of diseases has the
beneficent operation of the Bitters been more
marked and striking thsn in those characterized
by general debility and nervous prostration. La
dies affected with these ailments find in this
most wholesome of all tonics and correctives the
safest AID surest means of relief. Il is strong
to restore and powerless to ininre. Such is the
uniform testimony of "clouds of Witnesses"

The Mason and Hamlin Organ Company have
just issued what they term Testimony Circular,
which is certainly remarkable as presenting such
an amount of testimony to the excellence of their
instruments. It contains six large newspaper
pages, closely printed, and thus includes as
much matter as an ordinary duodecimo volume.
Nearly one thousand persons, most Of them ex-
perts in the matter, testified to the rare excel
Ience of the cabinet organs made by this COM
pany. The character of the testimony is indeed
quite as remarkable as its quantity. Nearly
al the most prominent musicians in the country
are quoted /; the principal organists, pianists,
and teachers of chief American cities are among
those say that these are the best among instru-
mepts of the class. A number Of well-known
European artists testify to the same effect. Ex-
tracts are given from Paris and London papers
which admit that these organs are superior to
those of European make. American newspapers
are equally emphatic. But what is, perhaps,
even more satisfactory. is the testimony OF nan
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1870-04-01

dreds who have these organs in use, as to their
working qualities. AT er looking over such
mass of testimony, one cannot well doubt that
the reputation OF this company is richly de-
served. By sending his address to the Macon &
