The weekly Arizona miner., 1871-01-28

TucsoN, Pima County, Arizona, .,...... January ,, 1871. To Ae Editor of he .iri.oad Miner;
 Your correspondent has spent the whole week in fruitless effort to discover so,ne- thing new and important to communicate but the time has flown past so nerrily in re- joieing over the birth of the new year and the collapse of the old one, that, although there are some new things in view, there arc few of them important.
 .a.. The New Year Was celebrated, at it's advent, by the two balls foreshsdowed in my last letter. The Shoddyites, or
 codiish Aristocracy
 As they are vulgarly called herc, I am told, did not attend, and the balls were propor- tionably free and jolly. These Sho4dyi,es, or Goldfish people, are class in themselves For the life of me, cannot tell what State, or what part of the several States, they hail from; and, I'll make affidavit to this, that, if they ever belonged to the better class, at home, they have become terribly spoiled since their arrival here. If they ever attend public ntertanments-which they do when ever invited-they appear wrapped up in a cloak of icy reserve, which it is really anus ing to contemplate. Morally and mentally, they regard themselves head and shoulders above every person md thing around. But,
 "'ThourA sos be ,I~rn with silken eenr
 Despite the incest Rrt It's ecsAEssneSa will appear.
 They speak so loudly when walking or ri- ding out, that tine children, in groups, stare at them; and, at parties, they make it an Ob- ject to insult well-bred Mexican ladies, not only by actions, but, also, by commenting upon habit, style, color, etc. Your cores pOndent has looked on and Pitied those vic tins of vanity; and, ain sorry to observe that the majority of sensible people judge them more haTzh!y.
 Members of the Legislature
 Continue to flow in. think that pretty nearly the entire Ysvapai delegation have ar rived. \ couple of members from Yuma county arrived yesterday, and report others ea sOets. Ere this letter shall have reached you, the wisdom of Yavapai, with the cor ruption of Yuma, and avarice of Pima, will be sitting in couclavc. An ample field in which to labor, lies spread before them, and, from conversation with several members, am led to think that the Sixth Legislature will do something It will all depend upon your men from Yavapai, flor, to come right down to plain, uByaFnIsbed facts, Yuma and Pima, together, cannot shove forward six men who are qualified to understand sn i'm portant measure, much less to propound one
 A Marriage
 Took place on Monday or Tuesday, and the celebration was one of the richest things in the county. As the story goes, the District Attorney loved the bride, but she was so con founded skepticsl that he never could manage 10 have her believe it, and, in her skepticism she went off and married another "feller.' The legal lover attended the celebration, and at a late hour, became stile,--iriying ti, husband in all directions by threats of vio fence. The affair got pretty freely ventilated . and old, gray-headed people shook their head in sheer astonishmeht. understand tha the loving official has since made out an in dietment against himself,--it being, he says

 The Old Man wasson
 Returned from California last week, and, a yet, hasn't ventured down Main street. Tn, cause of this piece of bashfulness, am eredi bly informed, is, that he might happen to SC, Major Duffield.
