PRESIDENT GRANT AND SONORA.

A Washington correspondent of the New York Standard writes as follows of Gen. Grants views upon the acquisition of part of Sonora sufficient at least to give us an outlet upon the Gulf of California. In about the same terms the President has conyersed with our Delegate upon the subject;
 After few commonplace remarks of no im- poFtance, we began to tonch upon the relations ot the United States with Mexico, particularly m reference to the southern boundary of Ari- zona, and the lmportace of providing an outlet for the people and products of that territory to the southward lf necessary. St the time of the GadSdn purchase, our own Government
 jailed to obtain from the Mezicaus the cession ot part In the Gulf of California, fault
 which was notfeltat the time, but which was ss- 1 verely felt afterwards
 The President now has in contemplAtion the securing by proper treaties and egotiations for enough ot ths present Mexican territory to give us an undisputed road to the Gulf of Cali tornia and 8 harbor This would include the present town of Libertad, which would then become port of entry and entrepor for the Arizona region The President expressed him.
 salt as very desirous of accomplishing this on ! account of it's importance to the people of New 1!exlco aud Arizona; so that, in the event Of war, communication cold be had without
 crossing what might be an enemys country r Is probable that the matlor will receive
 further publicity before long"
 It ia not likely however, that the govern.
 ment will take any early sction on this matter.

The San BsrnardIno Guardian devotes abou hree-fouriha of column to .be subject of The Road to the Burro Mines" directing miners to proceed by way of San Bernardino, La Paz and Wickenhurg, and assures all that this is the shortest and best route to Tucson
 We'll, this is about the silliest argument which we have yet found put forth by any of the Cali fornia journals. To show the stiffness of the assertion by stating distances and mode of con- Feyance from placa to place would be only losing space as these are matters we'll known to all our readers in Arizona as we'll as to hose in the adjoining territory of California. No person going from Tucson to any part of California, even to San Beruardino, would ever think for moment of proceeding by Wicken- ourg and La Paz unless, indeed, that business at either place should call him from the direct route. The map of Arizona and California shows very plain ly the route which uost nearly resembles the ''are of & circle"

KTe Has Done Enough.

Mr.. Scofclds labors in Congress
being such that he cannot, as he say;
himself, make personal effort tc
obtain a denomination, it is eyidenI
that they must be very laborious and
harrassing TO his constitution. We
suggest, as mere matter OF kindness
to so devoted a public servant, wheth
er it is fair TO ask him TO continue il
office another term at SO serious 9
hazard to his health and mental vigor
It. would be sheer cruelty to ask hin
to 20 through the same strain for two
years moro. We are just here re
minded Of story that has some ap
plication to the point;
"Once npon time a revolutionary
soldier was rnnning for Congress il
Lancaster county. His opponent wal
young man, who had "never beer
to the wars" and it was the custom
Of the old revolutionary to tell Of a.,
hardships he had endured. He said
"Fellow citizens: | have fought
and bled for my country ! helped
to whip the British and tho Indians
have slept on the field Of battle with
no other covering than the canopy o
heaven. have walked over the
frozen ground I'LL every fooistep wa,
marked with blood"
Just about this time ono Of the
sovereigns who had become greatly
interested in his tale Of suficiings
walked up in front Of the speaker
wiped the tears from his eyes with the
extremity Of his coat tail, aud inter.
rnpted with: "Did you say you had

eyes, sir
"Did you say you slept on tho
ground, while serving your country,

81 did"
"Did you say your feet covered tho
ground you walked over with blood"
II did, said the speaker, cxultingly.
"Well, then, said the sovereign, as
he gave a sigh OF fearful emotion, 81

The United States Attorney Gcn.
crul. Judge iloar put forth, as the
basis of his argument the other day,
In favor OF re opening the late decision
Of tho Supreme Court in the Legal
Tender question, that the verdict Of
that body was rendered on the ma
iority of but n single member OF Il
aud gravoly laid down the proposition
that 80 momentous a question should
not be decided by the voice of one
man. This was a drive at the Chief
Justice, S. p Chase. But how will
the case stand if tho verdict OF this
supreme body is reversed under the
rcarrument concluded uponY IL will
be remembered that there are now
two new members, Bradley and Strong,
who were not on the Bench when the
case was decided before. Should they
both render an opinion adverse TO
that now before the country, and
which Judge Hoar finds fault with
then a majority of one only, as before
will seal the verdict Are the oppo
uents of such an opinion expected to
accept this majority of one, deciding
in favor of paper payments of con.
tracts, when the other side, headed
by Hoar, refuses to accept the major.
ity, of one against papcrg
But Judge lloar is not correct IN
his declaration that the opinion OF a
single member of the Court turned
the scale in the late decision. There
were eight members Of the body pres
ent, and FIVE of them including Judge
Gricr, agreed TO the opinion rendered
while three took the negative. This
would give a majority of two. Judge
Grier, however, having previously
rendered his resignation, to take effect
upon future date, the Attorney
General declares is rendered a nullity
there, and his vote is held TO count
nothing. This is the way the majority
is reduced by Judge Hoar to one. II
this is not pottifogging a case, then
we never saw it done. Now, let us
sec what the Massachusetts lawyer
has TO say when the majority on bis
side Of the House is reduced 10 one
as it will be if the late decision is re-
versed.-Ddy Book.
