THE MAILs.--News was received in the Territory, by last mail that James Grant, of this county, had secured contracts for carry. ing the mails of the United States, for four years from July lst, 1870, over the Prescott and San Bernardino route, and the Arizona City and Hardyvile route. MT. Grant has had considerable experience in the business, and will, we think, carry our mails regularly. We have heard rumor to the offect that proposals for mail service on the Hardyvillo route were not received, but can scarcely credit such a rumor.

JUDGE TURSER.-While at Los Angeles recently, this functionary called on the editor Of the Ne'cs, and informed him that the MINERS account of the "trouble" between himself and General Wheaton and other military officers of Fort Whipple, was incor- rect; in fact, did him an injustice. Now, all we have to say in the premises is that the Judge knew he told the editor of the Nor, what was not so.

EXTENSIVE SALE OF MINES IN RAILROAD DIS
TRIcr-We were shown this week deed con-
veying eonGolling interests In several valuable
and we'll known mines in Railroad district to
E. l.. Richie, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Richie
has lately come to Nevada ms the agent of n
circle Of wealthy gentlemen who are DESTROYS
of embarking in Legitimate mining enterprises
The consideration for the mining property was
$4,000. The agent has possession and is en-
gagged in the development of the premises,
and will increase his force of miners in the
course OF few weeks, rs soon as the weather
will permit. The location of the district is
such that the ore can be readily and econom-
ically transported, to reduction works, until
such time as the coInpany can procure their
'o%n means NJ reelection. The ore Yields
readily to simple treatment, and the veins
are heavy and present every evidence of per
manency. Mr.. Richie is fortunate in having
been enabled to obtain the interests that he
has, and we predict that profitable seasons
work will crow'I his efforts.

ment of the Koire the corn crops are said
to very splendid. At Abb and in the Gil
rOnde and BaZas the harvest has COM
menced. The crops will be pretty good,
but there will be no straw. 1t is not too
late for rain to improve the crops in some
districts, but there seems to be little chance
of its coming. In the provinces wheat has
fallen twenty confines, but in Paris the
price of living is extraordinary.
GA Traveller" writing to the London
Times from Hamburg, June 81, says: ''The
corn crop of the north of France, Belgium,
the Rhine countries, Holland and Westpha-
liza presents most healthy aspect, although
it seems certain that the yield will not be
abundant. The hay crop has been failure,
and the meadows are everywhere so dried
up that farmers are selling their stocks for
any price they can get for them. The roots
are in an equally poor condition, and there
will be scarcity of food for cattle and of
the raw material for sugar. 1 heard in
French and Belgian Flanders that the cul-
tivators of fax were everywhere complain
ing, but the hops were excellent. The
vines in these parts are said to promise
well. As a set-off against the failure of tee
cereal crops in the middle and south Of
France, am told that the harvest IN Hun
gary and the south of Russia is most album
dant, and that preparations are being made
on vast scaIefor the transport of corn and
compressed hay from these countries to
France and England. hear also that the
United States will be able, as regards hay
and corn, to supply any deficiency that may
exist in Europe. You may think this worth
publishing, as what have said have either
myself observed, or credible witnesses have
told me-"

SETTLED AT LAST.
The POsImastershIp.

Major Enos Hopkins returned from
Washington yesterday evening, whittier he
has been for several weeks past In SO far
as he is concerned, the question of Post
mastership at this place may be considered
as definitely settled. The rejection of Mr.
Hopkins by the Senate, or rather the failure
of that body to reconsider the vote by
which he was rejected some months since,
displaces him from the position of Post
master at Nashville. This action, too, may
be regarded as final and decisive. The APP
pointment of Mr.. Hopkins was a sus-
pension of the functions of Mr.. Embry,
who was Postmaster at the time. The fail
ure by the Senate to confirm the appoint
ment, although by but one vote, was evil
dence that the former incumbent was sat.
isfactory, and this evidence was strength
ened by the recent vote of the Senate to
reconsider its former action. 1t is due to
Mr.. Hopkins to say that he has made US
an excellent Postmaster, faithfully dis
charging his duties, without reference to
personal tsvontism or party partialities
The Office hBs been well conducted, and
he and his clerks have been uniformly in
dustrious, courteous and polite in their in
tercousre with those having business with
the Office.
The displacement of Major Hopkins, in
the absence of any appointment, leaves
Mr. Boiling Embry, the former incumbent
by virtue of his regular appointment and
confirmation, from which he has all the
while been only suspended-the Postmas-
ter. In the event of no other appointment,
of which we are not advised, we presume
that he will early receive notification to
enter upon the discharge of the duties of
the Office. Mr.. Embry was Postmaster for
a good while and thoroughly understand
the details, and has the qualifications of
an excellent officer.
What changes, or whether any, the new
order of things will work as regards the
present ATTACHES Of the Office remains TO
bs seen.

When Welded TO the solicitations of
MANY friends to announce myself as can
didate for Chancellor, had every reason
able assurance that my disabilities would
be removed. Owing to the pressure OF
public business, bill which had been in
troduced into Congress for that purpose,
failed to pass the House of Representa-
tiver. feel that it is due to the public as
well as myself that / should withdraw from
canvass, to which if elected, doubts
might be entertained whether l could le-
gally discharge its duties. know that in
the estimation of many friends, for whose
opinion l have very high regard, l am
not under the disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment, having been par
doned by the President before its adop-
ton, but / should not be willing to ac-
cept the Office under circumstances which
might lead to a controversy, detrimental to
the public interests in this district. Al
though prescribed, deprived of the rights
of citizenship, and denied the privilege o
holding its Offices of honor and profit, still
| have no other country but this, can go to
| no other, and can cherish no other feeling
than than that of the deepest interest in Its
welfare and prosperity. To those gener-
Gus and warm friends whom met at every
place in this charcery district, and who
gave me such fattering assurances of sup
port and success. 1 shall ever feel under
the most grateful obligations, and cherish
the Remembrance of their friendship as
fondly as if they had bestowed upon me
their suffrage and elected me to Office. Il
feel that high public duty impresses me
to the course which I have taken, and
trust the reasons which I have assigned
will be deemed satisfactory.

st. Louis Live stock Market.

CATTLE-Receipts for the week have been
6,665 head, sales 4, 1873, with fair ratio Of
shipments. The arrivals have been princi-
pallp of Texas, and very common cattle.
Choice cattle are in constant demand,
largely over the small supply, and have
sold at 6. 25@7. 10: frst-cla butchers sell
at 5000; second grade, 4.50@5. 25; COM
mon to stockers, 2.374@4.25.
SHEEP-Receipts 2, 1874, sales $40. Mar
ket dull all the week, with very low prices.
Shipments and unreported sales by the
head alone relieve the market. Very few
choice sheep have been in market, and the
demand for common has been very light.
Prices ranged at 1902. 90 for lambs; 1.5O
Oops for common sheep; 2.50@3. % for
medium; 3.50and4. 90 for best grade offer
ing.
HoGs-Oferings very small during the
week, receipts being only 1900, sales l.
354. Principal grade offered was of me-
dunn. Few or no choice in market. Prices
very firm, crmmon at 7.G2 500; medium,
500, $50 900.
HORSES AND MULEs-Are decidedly more
active, owing in some measure to heavy
sales of government stock lately. The
quality of stock offering has not been first
class, and prices have been lower.
