ARIZONA AND MEXICO.

The San Diego Union, in reference to
the Mexican Custom House proposed to
be located at Point Ysabel, near tn,
mouth OF the Colorado river, says that ii

cent. will be levied on all goods trans
ported through the mouth OF the river to

system of exacting toll on anavigable nv

Arizona City and other places in Arizona
experience some uneasiness lest they ot

Custom House as is contemplated would

important side-doors of commerce. Per

bestir itself in the long slumberinS effort
to obtain a cession Of Lower California
and some other portion of Mexico on
the frontier Of Sonora. AT least this, il

CONGRESSMAN KENDALL. - We learn
from the Virginia Chronicle that MIR.
Kendall left Washington on the 4th. and
was expected in Virginia City on Tues
day. The Chronicle has good authority
for stating that the honorable gentleman
will stump this State for Greeley and
Brown. Our Representative has made
a good record in Congress, and his many
political adherents and personal friends
would be muck pleased to have him visit
Phoebe. -

NOT A CAND1pArE.-As many papers
have included W. w. Bishop, Esq, of
this city, as an aspiraht for the nomina-
ton for Congress by the Republicans of
this State, We are authorized to say that
he is not q candidate for that position.
Mr.. Bishop is our fellow townsman, and
is n very worthy gentleman. His polit-
ical friends believe he would make good
record in Congress, and Democrats are
satisfied that he would do as Little harm
as any Republican in the State.

pianist, Alfredo Barili, who for a long
time resided at Montgomery, Alabama,
where bis father held prOfessorship in
one Of the seminaries Of that city. The

Alfredo Barili was born ia Florence

His father, Sign0r Ettore Barili, one Of
the finest baritones in Italy, having re
ceived All engagement with the Italian
Opera Troupe to make a tour OF the
United States, removed 10 America the
following November.

In May Of this year Alfredo appeared
in four matinees al Chickering Hall
New York city. He was then in hii
eighteenth year.
His executions are brilliant and rapid
combining clearness and accuracy, eK
hibiting great muscular power, while the
touch is delicate and effective.
His grandfather, Maestro Francisco
BarIli, Of Rome, was a great composer,
while his grandmother, Catarina Barili
Patti, was formerly considered one Of
the greatest prime dome Of Italy, where
music seemed 10 be a natural gift. She
was hailed with admiration and success

Familiar Love.

Perhaps there is no period so pleasant
among all the pleasant periods oof love-
making, as that in which the intimacy
between the lovers is so assured, and the
coming event so near, as toproduce and
endure conversation about the ordinary
little matters of life; what can be done
with the limited means at their disposal;
how that life shall be begun which they
shall lead together; what idea each has
of the Others duties; what each can do
for the other; what each will renounce
for the other. There was true sense of
the delight of intimacy in the girl who
declared that she had never loved her
lover SO well as when she told him how
many pairs of stockings she had got. 1t
is very sweet to gaze at the stars to-
gether, and it is sweet to sit out among
the haycocks. The reading of poetry
out of some book, with brows all close
and arms all mingled, is very sweet, the
pouring out of the whole heart in written
words, which the writer knows would be
ridiculous to any one but the dear one
to whom they are sent, is sweet; but for
the girl who has made shirt for the man
she loves, there has come moment in
the last stitch of it, sweeter than any
stars produced

August LIST, arrived at this port early this
morning.
The prediction of Plantamour that q
collision between the earth and com
ing comet would take place to-day has
not had the effect Of creating any excite
ment. Every one appears to be waiting
the coming event with great indifference.
1t is now said that Plantamour never
predicted this calamity, but that the
whole story originated in a French news
paper.
The Herald editorially referring to the
election in North Carolina says there
has been no election of late in which,
from all appearances, there has been
such gross irregularities and tampering
with the ballot-box as in the recent cleo
ton in North Carolina. The politicians
there are not less interruptions and bold
in their dishonest manipulation Of the
ballots than those of New York have
been. 1t seems that the administration
Republicans have been playing despe-
rate game. Under such state of things
the baliot.box is farce The Legisla-
ture, when il meets, will undoubtedly in
yestigate the matter. Though Caldwell
may claim to be elected by 1000 or 1900
majority, he may yet find that fraudu-
lent votes will not be recognized. Mer'
riman may, after all, be declared Cover
nor by handsome majority. We hope
for the sake Of the purity of the ballotbox
and Republican institutions that the mat
ter will be thoroughly probed aud fraud
exposed, whichever party may gain or
lose by the operation, and we warn the
administration not to interfere, but leave
the local authorities to decide upon and
control their own affairs.

Geneva Court of Arbitration.

NV YoRE. August IA Herald
special from Geneva says the Court OF
Arbitration in the Alabama claims case,
previous TO adjournment for recess, re-
quired legal arguments on three points,
each being in itself of high Importance.
These points were placed before the
counsel in the following order: First
To show what is termed due diligence
on the part of a nation as principle Of
law. Seeond-What was the value OF
the commissions held by Confederate
cruisers, and how far did they entail re-
sponsibility upon England when they
entered her ports. Third-How far did
coaling of cruisers in English ports
make England responsible for their acts.
These points have been deliberately ar
gued by Sir ROUNDED Palmer and Messrs,
Cushing and Evarts, and every fact
the arbitration tribunal argues is in a
thoroughly searching manner, as may be
seen from its investigation into the treat
ment of the points, and is strongly
favorable indication that its complete
work will be satisfactory to all parties
concerned.

The New York Times, leading Grant
organ, gives up the South, and bases its
hopes of success ON the North. II says:
"The late election in North Carolina
gives us fair notice that, while we must
neglect no opportunity offered US in the
South, our main reliance must be on
the staunch Union party Of the North
ern States. The men who saved the
Union in war must now allow no tam
pering with the results Of the war. In
every Northern State the campaign
must be carried on from this moment ia
the night Of election with the utmost
possible energy. 1t is in these States
that the moral strength Of the party
lies" Yes, the strength Of the Grant
party lies north Of the Ohio river, and
there will be the battle-ground. The
united Southern vote can be counted
for Mr.. Greeley. The victory must be
won by Mr.. Greeley at home.
