INCREASED MAIL SERVICE.

The P. o. Department has at last issued an order for semi-weekly service on the mail routes from Tucson to Wickenburg and from San Bernar- dino to Prescott to begin July 1, ensu- ing. The thanks of our people are due to the P. M. general for this good order and our only regret is that it was not made a year or more since. It is but just and long needed in crease of facilities for which all the people have asked and which must prove of great accommodation to Ari-, zona and Southern California. The Washington correspondent of The New York Herald, under date of May 19, thus refers to it and to af- fairs Tn the Territory:
 Ex-Governor Mccormick, delegate from Arizona, who has remained here since the adjournment of Congress to look after the interests of that Terri tory, has induced the Pest Office Department to grant an increase of mall service on the route from Los Angeles, California, to Prescott Ari- zona, and also on the route from Tue son to Prescott. This additional mail accommodation was procured owing to the rush to the new silver discoveries at the Bradshaw district, near Prescott, and to the increase of settlers upon the Gila and Salt rivers. In the face of the hostility of the Apache h. dians, Arizona is represented as steadi- ly gaining i'll population and prosper ity. The recent mineral discoveries are said to far surpass any made here tofore. With the construction of the thirty-second and the thirty-fifth parallel railroads, both of which will cross the Territory on important lines, the Indian question, the only serious one in Arizona, will, it is said, be eff Actually disposed of, and the resour- ces of the Territory can be fully developed. With all the insecurity of life and property, it is asserted that an average of $2,OOO,OOO in gold dust and bullion has been taken from the Territory each year since its organiza- tion."

THE BUFFALO.-As an astonishing and curious item, we commend the subjoined to the attention of our readers:
 Times wonderful changes never re- celved @ more marked illustration than by the introduction of bill in the House of Representatives prohibiting the indiscriminate slaughter of buffa- loes along the line of the Pacific Rail- road, and providing for the preserva- tion of the bison, which, under the present system of wanton destruction, would soon be exterminated. The author of this game preserving article, Mir. MCCORMICK, of Arizona, inform ed the House that, in passing over the Kansas Pacific Railroad last winter, train was showed in. and for ten days the only food of about one hun- dred passengers was buffalo meat, and had this not been at hand they must all have starved. It is in view of the probable recurrence of circum- stances of the same character for years to come that, as measure to preserve those animals, the bill was suggested and will be supported. When the idea of Pacific Railroad was first broached in Congress quarter of century ago, the oponents of the ''im- provement'' insisted that no railroad could ever be maintained on the plains for single week, because of the herds of buffalos that would trample tracks and sleepers out of place and deep down into the soil, and now, before the Pacific Railroad has been an actual fact three years, it is deem- ed necessary to protect the buffalo that he may serve as food to the pas sengers crossing the continent over the very road that his vast and roam ing herds were to render an impossi- biity.

Lively at Arizona City.

A correspondent writing under date of June s, gives the following, which shows that they mean business there:
 On yesterday, an American named Lyons, and Louis Campa (Mex.) had a quarrel ill Campa's store. Campa was behind the counter and Lyons out side. They got excited, when friend of Campa's (don't know his name, but who is known as "The Harpero, ") stepped up and struck Lyons ;s severe blow with his fist, knocking him down. The Harpero was arrested and brought before Justice Lindsey, who took the the case under advisement until six o'clock yesterday evening Court was adjourned, and as every one present gained the sidewalk, Lyons pulled his pistol, shot The Harpero in the ankle and Campa in the arm. Lyons was arrested and put in jail. Mexicans talked strongly of lynching him, and, report says, were encouraged very much to do so by one J. L. Smith known as "Hualpai Smith," Smith was finally arrested and put in jail. As he went into jail, he used very pro- fane language to Lyons, and told him he "had a good notion to chaw his head off ;''-whereupon Lyons picked up stick, lying close by, and struck Smith several severe blows over the head, and 'downed him. before he could be stopped. Before Smith was put Tn jail, Judge Lindsey fined him $100 and A hours imprisonment for contempt of court. Both parties are in officers hands as yet.

THAT ECONOMY CARD.-A writer evidently posted, communicates to this number of THE CITIZEN his views of crop and contract business. Stoneman gloated over his dealings with con- tractors, and his economical layout having depopulated the San Pedro and Sonoite valleys, and left Santa Cruz in 8 constant state of siege,-besldes short crops are reported in Sonora-we can begin to see the fruits of that boast ed economy in the near future with the naked eye. That document is like kaleidoscope-every turn shows some new beauty. We have tried hard to dismiss the subject, but business brings it up again like bad penny. Though we have sald nothing undeserving in this connection, yet it never was to our liking this running farce so many nights ill succession, however much it may popularize the manager. The extravaganza of "Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall, Humpty Dumpty got a Great Fall, ,"-was run at certain theater in New York until the mana ger got money enough and tired out too. enever expected in this econom- ical section to get rich at Stoneman's expense, but 1t is a matter of every day newspaper business to teach public servants to obey their masters semi- occasionally-even for the fun of it; and that no would-be Samson can slosh round and do unlimited damage with the jaw-bone of an ass. The new commander here never acould write much, but he managed to make his mark substantially by the way so far.

American FOrelgn Ministers.

Our diplomatic agents in France and Prussia, says The Army and Navy Journal, have won golden opinions from the countries to which they were accredited during the recent disturbances which have subjected their skill and judgment to so severe test. The Ge,maan Correspondent of Berlin expresses its regret at the prospect of losing MT. BANCROFT, who has resigned his position and is to return home. Of him and of MT. WAsHBURNE it says: America appears to be particularly happy in the choice of the diplomatists who represent her abroad. MT. WAsHBURNE, the American Ambassador in Paris, gain ed golden opinions by his humanity and kindness during the siege; and even since the conclusion of peace he has laid many foreigners from differ ent countries under deep obligations by the valuable services he rendered them. In all these cases he was ac- tuated solely by compassion and phi lanthropy. Thus, i'll the depth of winter he made arrangements in his hotel for serving refreshments to un- fortunate and indigent persons in we'll warmed apartments. Nor was this the only way in which MT. WASH BURNE exhibited that large-hearted benevolence which gained for him the appreciation of the whole European press. We hope that America will al- ways be equally lucky in finding dip lomatic representatives who, at one and the same time, do honor to their country and conquer for themselves personally the esteem and gratitude of other nations"
 Similar testimony comes from ob- servers in France, among whom is MT. H. LABoUCHERE, a member of the British parliament, who recently pub- ished the diary of "besieged resi- dent in Paris" Diplomats, he says, "are little better than old women when they have to act on an emergency. Were it not for MT. WAsHBURNE, who was brought mp in the rough-and- ready life of the Far West, instead of serving an apprenticeship in courts and government offices, those who are still here would be perfectly help less. They come tc him at all moments, and although he can not speak French, for all prac- tical purposes he is worth more than all his colleagues put together" ," "How different," he exclaims else where, American diplomatists are to the prim old women who represent us broad, with a staff of half dozen dandies helping each other to do noth- ing, who have been taught to regard all who are not of the craft as their natural enemies.

Contracts, Crops, Demands, &c.

EDITOR CITIZEN: Now that Col. Stoneman IS removed, and we can no longer growl at his imbecile folly and gross mismanagement, I will have a little small bark at what I look upon as some of the results, or partially SO, of his management in regard to con- tracts. I presume that he will claim the credit of saving our good Uncle a few thousand dollars, by his tirade against contractors.
 The prices at which awards have been made will in some cases be ruin ous to the contractors, or very binding on the farmers. In some cases. the contracts may be filled and have a small margin for profit after paying the farmer a living price for his grain. In other, and think the majority of cases, the farmers have got to sell at prices that will not pay them the cost, or the contractor will have to make 8 loss upon his contract. If the farmers here will be a little firm and not be in too much of hurry to sell, they will dispose of all their grain at good price. Freight teams will consume a large amount The Bradshaw mines will bring good many people into the Territory this summer and fall, and very much of the food that they will consume has to be hauled on freight wagons 200 miles or more. The flour that they consume can be hauled from here and be sold cheaper than flour from any other section. The country is not favorable for the use of ox-teams, and mules will have to do the greater part of 1t. Wickenburg and vicinity will consume one-half the barley that will be for sale in Salt River Valley. The home consumption here will be four times as great as it was last year. do not know of one man in this valley who does not feel certain that before the first day of January, barley will be worth five cents per pound, and all that are able intend to hold for fair price. The great bulk of the grain is raised by men who are able to wait until they can get a good price, and they will do it. The people will prepare to SOW much greater breadth of both barley and wheat the coming season than they have done this year. They will de- pend upon the increase in the popula- tion induced by the development of the mines and other resources of the coun- try. Whether they will be justified or not, will make no difference with the crop this year, and will not make the amount of grain less, that they will SOW. 1 am certain now, and 1t will soon be demonstrated to the ltis- faction of all, that this year the sup ply is not greater than the demand will be nor hardly equal to it, either ill wheat or barley. If men will take contracts at such low figures merely for the sake of having government contract, hope they may be the sui ferers, and not the farmers. w.

NEARLY all the self-overrated, pompous and worthless officers of the U. S. Army habitually violate the 5th article of war, but as court-martials are such ridiculous farces when an of ficer is arraigned, 1t would be folly to hope for any punishment under it. Congress should abolish the 5th article or provide some means for its enforce ment.
