Immigration-The Guaymas Route, &e.

The Tucson Citizen of the 9th contains a lengthy communication from citizen of New York, giving plan for inducing immigrants to come to the Territory, and for putting a stop to the Indian business. It is for Congress to give the Territory GAO acres of land for every family, and 320 acres, for every single individual who might be induced to come here and settle upon said land. The Territory to issue bonds of Sl.OO per acre against all such lands; the money for said bonds to be loaned to immigrants, for the purpose of enabling them to come here, or to make improvements after getting here. They to have five years in which to pay the Terri tory Sl .25 per acre for their land the extra 9 cents to go for defraying expenses of an immigration committee and to meet the in terest on the bonds.
 The MINER would have no objections to offer to this scheme, if in conveying the land to the Territory, Congress would provide for forcing immigrants to take part agricultural and part grazing lands, as, there are, in noun tainous portions of our Territory, numerous localities where, under the 640 acre law, not more than one or two families would be ena- bled to find sufficient agricultural land to fill the bill. In the river bottoms, where the arabic land is abundant, the plan might work we'll. In the mountains, however, our motto must be small farms and numerous farmers.
 The 0uaymas Route
 Appears to be growing in favor with mer- chants of Tucson, as, of late, they have received vast quantities of goods ria said route.
 They have done SO, no doubt, because freight bills were less than they would have been had the goods come ria Arizona City But, we are told that the San Francisco and Guaymas line of steamers have changed hands and that freight charges have been raised We'll, we are not sorry for this, and hope that in future, Tucson merchants will be able to make such arrangements with the Colorado Steam Navigation Company and freghters along the Gila River, as will have the effect of inducing them to help build up their own country, by patronixing its citizens, instead of those of Mexico.

The Military.

General Crooks little army has now com menced the work before it in good earn est. The General, accompanied by his aids, Leutenants Ross and Bourke, and small escort of cavalrymen, srarted on horseback Monday last, for camps Verde, Apache and other posts, with the view, we believe, ol organizing and sending out scouts.
 Captains Mason, Adam and Montgomery, with their companies and some friendly piute Indians are scouting for Apaches in the mountains north of Prescott.
 A pack-train, for the cavalry company at Camp Date Greek, was recently sent down and said company is now in'the field.
 Indeed, every cayalryman that can be spared from every post in the Territory, will he given a chance to share in the glory ei subduing bands of Indians that have defied Spain, Mexico and the United States, and we do most sincerely hope that no more ob- stacles will be placed before Gen. Crook and his forces, while they are out, fighting and suffering for the good cause.
 That the General means to conquer; that be intends to inspire his troops with . con qusring spirit, will be readily seen by the following General Order, issued from Head quarters. on the 18th inst:
 With view to proper recognition, con- manding officers Of detstchments operating againse hostile Indians will take special care 10 report tse conduct of enlisted men, who, by acts ot individuai daring in action, or other special and conspicuous service, are en. titled to cosnmenSlation and reward.

 Gov. Mccormick had reminded the people of the gratitude they should feel for General Meigs, Quartermaster General of the Army of the United States, for his friendship for the Territory and its white citizens. The MINER and all its Territorial readers feel un- der obligations to the General, and hope it will soon be possible for us to give him more substantial evidence of our regards. It was General Meigs who first put nail in Colyer's coffin and saved the dire necessity of becom- ing slaves of the Indian Ring masters; game for the Apaches, or to give up our homes here and leave the Territory.
 The Sentinel gives a lengthy account of the killing of Captain A. Hahn, by the ruffian Wm. Pickings, who was arrested and lodged in dungeon at Fort Yuma.
 Cold-blooded is no name for this murder, as Hahn, for having refused to drink with Pickings, was (byPickings) knocked down, kicked, cuffed and afterwards shot.
 Captain Hahn was we'll known in Prescott and, indeed, an over the Pacific Coast. He was . native of Germany; aged about forty five years.
 A"stick" " house, with its contents, was recently destroyed by fire.
 A man" Black Wilson, ,n--got into row with some Mexicans, shot one and cut anoth- CT. He was arrested, and lodged in jail The wounded were recovering.
 The Colorado Steam Navigation Company's ocean steamer Ner6cn arrived at the mouth of the Colorado, November 1st., discharged passengers and freight and started, next day, for San Francisco.
 The Company's river boats were making regular trips to all points, although the river must have been low.

No More of Howard.
Washington despatch of Nombember g

A Washington despatch of Nombember 9, is as follows:
 It is rumored that O. 0. Howard will be promoted to Major-G General. rice Meade, and will then be retired with the full grade ol Major-G
 Should this report be true, the white peo- plc of the frontier will see no more of Gen Howard, and the Indians will miss friend who was always ready to listen to their lies and fill their acquisitions out of Uncle Sam's supplies. Seriously, however, we have none but kindly sselings for General Howard mainly. because he has proved to be far moro noble. truthful and humane than the monkey Colycr.

 The above is from the San Francisco ET- amiaer of . recent date. Its truth is appar- ent to all who know the facts.
 We have refrained from offering any in ducements that might bring diamond hunt CTS to our Territory, by the foregoing or any other route, for the reason that we have had no proof or proofs of the existence of dia- monds in our Territory or in New Mexico. Now, however, facts point strongly in this direction. Over-cautious men have become converts to the diamond theory and worship at its shrine; Californians will come; in fact, are coming, and, therefore, it would be poor policy for us not to point out the proper route for them to take, which route is that given above. From Utah. Nevada and Mon- tana, people will. of course, find it to their advantage to come ria Hardyville and the Wallapai mines.

NATIONAL AEp sTATE EIECTIONs.

We said, and we stand upon the saying,
that the recent enactment Of Conl rass
would be avoided by the appointment of
different ballot-boxes and different polling
booths for the reception of the votes, For
instance, one box might be designated for
the reception Of ballots for the Presidential
electors, and another for the reception Of
the ballots for State officers, and these
boxes might be placed at different polling
places. There is no regulation Of law that
prescribes that electors shall be voted for
at the same poll that State officers are
voted for; bat, on the contrary, the spirit
Of the law is essentially opposed to it, since
it has not been customary, latterly,
in this State that these elections
should ever take place on the same
day. The design of the lawmakers ap-
pears to have been to keep them separate,
for while the day set apart by Congress
for Presidential elections has been known
to all our legislators, they have constantly
refused to select that day as the one on
which the people Of Louisiana should vote
for their local officers. 1t is almost tradi-
tionary with the people that they could
better preserve their domestic politics from
excitement and outside influences by SEN
arating their local elections from any con-
nection with federal contests, and for the
purpose of maintaining this independence
they have studiously insisted that their
State officers should be chosen at diff
farent time and place from their national
Presidential electors
The reason and propriety of this is ap-
parent at a glance. Ii we combine the
two elections, and there is a popular man
in the field for President, unworthy men
may take advantage Of the excitement to
have themselves elected on ticket headed
by the fayorite electors. The greater con-
test viii absorb the lesser, and the voter
who is an enthusiast for Grant or Greeley
may entirely neglect to supervise his ticket
in regard to the candidates for parish
offices. 1t was to prevent this absorption
Of the people in a national election from
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-14

interfering with their judgment IN regard
to State officers that the Law Of Louisiana
was made so as to put these two elections
on different days. There is no connection
between them. We may have different
interests IN a local contest from what we
have in a national election, and it may be
| essential to the success of State reform that
the Legislature should be chosen on
a different day from that set apart for the
election Of Presidential electors, and I'M
der entirely different auspices. As, for
instance, in old times the people voted for
a Wing State government, and yet they
gave majority to the Democratic national
ticket. They preferred the Wing candi-
dates for local Offices, and they gave their
preferences to the Democratic candidates
for national Offices. Such a result as this
could not be achieved under the bill pre-
sented by Mr.. Kellogg. We are to have,
under that measure, a compound Of federal
and local politics, in which the former
viii be the foremost element, to the great
damage Of our immediate interests.
Since the bill of our Senator was passed
for selfish purposes, and against the will
even Of Congress, there can be no harm
in our seeking to preserve our political
identity as a local community by any adj
vantage which may be left to US. The
weaker party is waysiustifed in evading
in legitimate way any scheme that may
have been unfairly enacted to its disad-
vantage. Senator Kellogg's bill was not
honestly passed, and therefore it is not
binding upon us except according to its
strictest letter. Being law, we propose
to respect it in its easiest Interpretation
AS neither its provisions nor those Of our
own Legislature require the two elections
to be held at the same polling place, and
as it is contrary to the traditions of the
country that such conjunction should
take place, we say that the people Of Lou
isiana will, and Of right should, insist that
the elections in November shall be held
independently of each other, the voters
depositing their ballots for President and
members of Congress at one poll and
their ballots for State officers at another.
As for the, argument of the Picayme,
that is deduced from certain provisions of
the State law which was enacted two years
ago, and which never had any relation to
the joint election Of Presidential electors
and State officers. 1t was made to cover
two polling places then, as a matter of
course, for the two elections occurred on
different days, and there must have been
two ballot boxes. If the congressional en-
actment had been in force at that time,
the Legislature would undoubtedly have
changed the day for the State elections
or it would have provided explicitly for
two boxes.

GENERAL DAN. W. ADAMS GONE

The community received a severe shock
last evening in the announcement of
the. sudden death Of General Dan.
w. Adams Up to half-past four
o'clock he was on the street. appar-
emily il excellent health an hour later
his life account was closed forever En-
gagged upon brief in his law Office, he
fell from a sudden attack Of heart disease
and soon breathed his last.
General Adams name is written upon
the most exciting pages Of the history of
the rebellion, and on the scroll which emu
merates the heroes of the war he must for
all time hold high place. He was de-
yotedly loved by his soldier boys in gray,
who are mostly residents of New Orleans,
and we can not pay him higher compi-
ment than in saying this.
At the close Of the war General Adams
joined with his old comrade, General
Harry T. Hays, in practice Of the law,
but his energetic nature demanding a
wider scope, he removed to New York,
and there and in Washington pursued a
successful career for several years. Re
turning to the Crescent City few months
ago, with his ideas Of the political situa-
ton enlarged by experience in other
fields, he earnestly espoused the Liberal
movement and performed yeoman service
in the cause during the exciting and try
ing fortnight just ended. His clear and
comprehensive mind, sound Judgment
and sagacious forethotght may, therefore,
be considered a grievous State loss. We |
mourn him for the genial and chivalrous
nature taken out of our circle, and as an
able worker, snatched from good cause.
By kilograms from General Writ Adams,
received last evening, we learn direct that
the remains will be conveyed to jackson,
for interment.
