A correspondent at wadsworth,

A correspondent at Wadsworth,
writing to the Sacramento Union,
under date of April %, says:
"Our burg has been the scene of
considerable gossip and excitement
for the past week-cause: On Tues
day morning a woman from Reno
got off the passenger car at this
place at 2:30 p. M, went to the
house of one-of our most estimable
citizens and left an infant baby on
the stoop. The woman returned to
Reno on the freight train, and when
within a half a mile of the town,
during a temporary stoppage at the
water = TX, she jumped out of the
caboose car and took to the woods.
She was dressed in black and wore a
double vail; consequently no one
saw her face or recognized her. The
baby when left was supposed to be
from six hours to two days old, and
Judging from his features he is at
least half "Dutchman." The affair
should be ventilated, and the guilty
party exposed and punished"

1t is rumored that Mrs. Fair, the
murderer of Crittenden, in San
Francisco, has made about $4,000
by recent stock speculations. As
the report goes she cleaned up S23,-
600 cash. in one little transaction in
Savage. This amount of money will
be of material service to her in her
present difficulties, and will very
likely be the means of her release
from custody. Such things have
been done.

CHANGE OF BASE.

The ir~repressible Henry Ward
Beecher has unfurled his banner at
the eleventh hour for Grant. He
believes in the doctrine that 1.-the
laborer is worthy of his hire" and
also that the pay of eleventh hour
laborers will be equal to those who
bear the heat and burden of the day.
Beecher has a great reputation as a
sensational preacher, and he uses his
power as much to divert the funds
of his hearers from their pockets to
his, as he does to convert their sen
timents. 1t is not at all likely that
he has had any very liberal offers
from Grant to cause this change, be-
cause it is generally known that
offers are mostly the other way with
him, but there has no doubt been
some liberal friend, or perhaps office
holder of Grants, who with an eye
single to his own interest, may have
believed he could invest funds to
better advantage by employing
Beecher than in any other way. The
however, are, that he did
not come down very heavily, as
Beecher has said a good word for
Schrrz, Sumner and Trumbull, and
this under the circumstances is sort
of left-handed complimentsto Grant.

wives is now carried on in the same
way as among the whites the mar
riage ceremony is performed by a
missionary or an Indian agent, and
the wedding certificate is framed and
preserved carefully. Only n wife
is allowed, and no price is demanded
by the parents or given by the hus-
band.

GOV, 4. P. K. SAFF0RD.

Nearly in every issue of the Tucson Citizen some mention is made of Gov. Stafford, either going to some new mining district or visiting Indian reservations. This gentleman has fully identified himself with the people of this Territory, and has taken more &C., tive parts in their interests and welfare than any other man in Arizona. He is continually mov- ing about from one place to an other, not through any personal motives, alone, but that he may the better understand the wants of all classes. A few days ago he was in camp with Cachise, late the prime mover and General-in- Chief of the savage Apaches. He remained several days with this "terror to the whites," and there had a long peace.talk with him, which, We hope, may result in some good. Since then the Gov ernor has visited some mines just on the border of Sonora, and by this time has returned again te Tucson.
 The term of office of the Gov ernor will soon expire, and we think we but reitterate the wish of the people Of Arizona when we hope to see his re-app0intnent for another four years.

Tne Electoral College

The death of Greeley has raised
 the question as to the disposition of the electoral votes of the States
 that went for him, ,and various sug-
 gestiOns are advanced. A South
 ern paper thinks the vote for Grant should be made unanimous.
 The statement that the electors have no discretion i'll the matter,
 but must vote for the ticket they
 were chosen on, ia without any
 foundation in fact. The Constitu-
 ton makes no such provision.
 According to. it the electors are
 wholly untrammeled, and may
 east their votes for any person
 they choose, no matter what the
 political standing of the majority
 that elected them may be. The
 only pledge to which they are sus- iected is an implied moral pledge,
 bat the death of the Presidential
 candidate they were expected to vote for clearly absOlves them any duty in that direction, They may, cast their votes for Grant, or for O'Connor, or for Brown, and in either event they would be justi-
 fed by the letter of the Constitu- 1 tion. Perhaps, on the whole, the ! the course most in accordance with
 the fitness of things, would be for [ them 10 vote for Brown, though that would raise the question as to who should receive their ballots 1 for Vice President. This is the first time such an event has occur red in the history of the Republic, and therefore precedent cannot help us. There is, however. 8 case on record of an electoral vote
 being cast contrary to the wishes
 of the majority of the voters, and
 choosing the electors, and if we mistake not, it was in the term of Jefferson. That, however, was an

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

On Tuesday, January 7th, 1873, an election will be held in this city, as will be seen by referring to the proclamation of Mayor A. J. Finlay, for the purpose of elect ing one Mayor, four Councilmen, one Marshal, one Assessor and one Treasurer. AS yet, no one has been announced, or even spoken of, for any of the offices mention ed. No interest seems to be taken in the matter at all. Those offices which have to be filled by the voice of our citizens are of great importance to the city taxpayers, and we would like to see some steps taken toward filling them with good, responsible men. The present ofhce-holders, for instance. are men who have performed their duty to the letter. Nothing more than what they have done could be expected, and, in fact, they have done, perhaps, more than any one else could or would under the circumstances. This election, as we understand it, is not to be a partisan one, but the people are expected to vote for the personal fitness of the candi- date running. What 1e want is good men-men of buSiness-men who know something about the local requirements of our city, and who are ready to devote their time to the duties which however important, are of a rather thank less. and therefore all the more meritorious description.

A CORNER" ON MOURNING Coop,

A CORNER" ON MOURNING GOODS
If there is one man in the United
Kingdom who feels that he has a
right to be disgusted with the outra-
geous conduct of the Prince of Wales
in declining to die, when everybody
expected him to and the most perfect
arrangements were made for him to
do so with eclat, that sadly diappoint-
ed man is the London merchant, who,
speculating on that probable event,
sought to discount the death of the
p. of W., and bull the mourning
market by securing all the stylish
sombre goods in Paris. Now that
the Prince is announced out of danger,
the light of his hope has fled, and
bankruptcy stares him in his face.
But for the helpful activity given to
his mind by severe study of what APP
pears to him in the light of conun-
drum-"How did the Prince come to
live when he had so many doctors?"
the poor fellow would probably go
insane.
