WE have been shown letter from Sanford wherein the public school is mentioned as getting on prosperously. Up to the 24th, the average atten- dance was twenty-four, with a pros pect of an increase to thirty-fve. H. B. Summers is teacher at $100 per month. The only fear is that the public funds will not meet the pub lie necessities, but have assurance that contribution is favorably talked of to supply any reasonable deficiency. The public generally take a praise worthy interest in the free schools so happily inaugurated.

AMERICAN citizens who now and then feel or profess to feel so shocked at indecorous scenes ill their legisla- tive halls, may have their own dis grace modified or pride strengthened, by a look across the Atlantic into John Bulls national halls of legisla- tion. On the 18th, the honorable M. P. from Nottingham was "greeted with groans" 5" for expressing his preference for a Republic to Monarchy, and at the same time, the galleries were cleared, and the American Minister to England ejected among the crowd. The brief telegram at hand indicates that 8 woful lack of dignity and decency prevailed among the right honora ble members. Probably Amer ican legislators may act like quarrel some children because of their youth, and the English ones likewise because of old age. Probably all humans are imperfect and some unseemly behavior must be expected in all ranks of them.

THE Secretary of War and Gen. Schofeld both recommend the build ng of telegraph by Government from San Diego via Yuma to Mari 'oopa Wells and thence to Prescott and Tucson. The estimated length of the lines Is CPS miles and the cost $5O,- 311 so, and Congress is asked to ap- propriate the amount. Delegate Nc Cormick was at latest accounts work ing faithfully to have that sum in- serted in the regular appropriation bill. Those in positions to know best about the benefits of the lines, insist that they ought to be constructed.

Self Praise--Big Hopes.

A Phenix correspondent writes to The San Diego Union as follows:
 Lately hundreds of ornamental trees have been set out, which in a few years, will give the town the ap- pearance of forest city and will add to its beauty aud comfort. When it has become the capital of the Terri tory, which 1t will, undoubtedly, at no very distant day, and when the iron horse steaNs through our county on the Texas Pacific road, Salt River Valley will be the garden of the Pacific Slope and Phenix the most inn portant inland town.

The Old story Continued.

The peace-loving, christian Apaches called at the Pinal mines early in the evening of the 18th and quietly stole away with fifteen horses and mules which the border ruffian miners sup posed they had some rights in. These miners being without animals, started on foot to try to recover them, and after following the trail two days to the junction of Salt River and Pinto Creek, and their provisions giving out, they returned without the beasts.
 We shall probably soon hear from the wise and good men of the east that these miners were served right :; that the animals were wro1gfully grazing on lands of the honest Apa- che; that the miners themselves were on the good Tontos' soil; that under the aggravating circumstances, it was but natural for the innocent children of the wilderness to teach these trespassing miners great moral lesson. How we ought to adore the great and good philanthro- pists whose boundless love goes out for all but the honest and industrious of their own race, who get a living without theft and murder and ever lasting access to the public dug! Let us pray.

SrARrLIxG.-A dispatch received here yes
ter,lay evening reports the partial destruction
Of san Francisco by an earthquake, and the
destroying Of 1850 livcs.-Heratd.
Such is the startling Intelligence we clipped
from the head Of the local column in the
Herald. the only - reliable. Oldest and largest :"
journal west Of the Missouri river. The asso-
ciatcd press arrangement is nothing in its
facility for getting the latest news, to the Her.
aid man. Each individual hair Of our some
what bald head stood upon end as We scanned
the above article. In the slumbers Of mid
night visions of long rows Of ruined buildings.
Frustrated church towers and wide and deep
chasms. danced over our mind. while the
rroans and shrieks Of the dying came to
our ear Many an upturned. CHASTITY face Of
a Heather Chinee'' looked us in the face
only to awaken us and convince us that every
thing was lovely and that the Herutd's shy,
bashful modesty had been imposed upon by
some gross prevarieator. A paper that can
command such important news before any
other leading Journal in the land is surely EN-
titled to the county printing. We submit.

CITY PEiyTIyG.-The Herald accuses III Of
being rather inconsistent in our action about
the city printing. Our answer is this: The
last council gave a written notice to us that we
might submit bids for the city prn; ling. at a
time stated. \ similar notice had been served
upon the editor of the Herald. We supposed
this to bc fixed. Acting upon this notice We
made ont our proposals. Before we had a
chance to submit them we hear'l that the Or
der hal been countermanded and all the print
ing ordered to be given TO the Herald We
consider this Il very just cause for us t" COM
plain. If the printing had been given to the
Herald in the first instance without any thought
of bids being received. we should never have
uttered one syllable Of dissatisfaction. As far
as .squandering the peoples money p" is con-
cerned. we think history proves that the Her.
aM can beat lis two To one. Hows that for
..'twixt tweedle-lum and twcedle-dce:"
