The Nominations of the Cincin-
 natti Convention.

Horace Greedy was nominated for President and B. Gratz Brown for Vice President, by the Liberal Republican Convention.
 The San Francisco Bulletin gives these items concerning the two men.
 Greedy was born at Amherst New Hamp- shire, February 3d, lSll. Attended school winters and worked on his fathers farm m summers during his boyhood. In lo26 he entered the office of the Northern Spectator at East Poulteney, Vermont. He left there and went to New York City in 1851, work d s journeyman printer for fourteen months, and from that time to 1841, was engaged as part ner or editor in the publication successively of the Morning Post, NeU Yorker, Jefersonia'i and Log Ca6n. In l84l, he started the Ne,r York Tribune and has been associated with it every since, and from it has accumulated a respectable fortune He was in Congress in l848-49 as representative from New York
 Benjamin Gratz Brown was born at Lex ington, Kentucky, May 2Sth. 1926. Gradua- ted at Pennsylvania University in 1915, and al Yale College in lS47. He studied law at Louisville and removed to St. Louis to prac- tice; was elected to the Missouri Legislature in 1852, and continued q member of that body until 1858. In 1856 be assisted in es tablishing the Missouri Democrat, republl- can paper, ard was its editor until 1859. He raised a regiment of troops in 1861, and com manded a brigade of State militia during the invasion of that State by Confederate troops He was Senator in Congress from Missouri from lo63 to 1867, and is the present Govern or of the State of Missouri.
 Various opinions are expressed by the Press concerning these nominations, which are evidently the result of compromise be- tween the supporters of other prominent men,
 The Buffalo Express says: If the Democ- racy do not make party nomination, the Republican party will get more of their votes than it will lose by the Liberal Republican movement. The result will be that General Grant will be reelected by an increased ma jority, and probably receive the most emphat- Ic popular endorsement that was ever given to candidate for the high office of President
 Such a result seems probable, when the fact is considered that Greedy has been all his life bitter opponent of the Democratic party and the most radical of radicals. His only act entitling him to Democratic sympa- thy and votes, was signing the bail bond oi Jefferson Davis, in May, 1867.

Mexican News.

The San Francisco Call, of May 9th, give, the latest news thus:
 "The steamer Montana, from ports on the Gulf of California, brings news of an interest ing and practical cha CT in regard to rail road progress in the Stat, of Sonora. Sever al engineers and railroad men were at Quay mas looking up the terminus of railroad to connect with the main branch of the Atlantic and Pacific lno Their advent in that city created considerable excitemc ,t. The people oI z uaymas and the entire State of Sonora haya been long looking for some move which would bring them Tn closer relation with the United States The gentlemen who arrived in Guayrnas were received very cordially by the officials, who are anxious and eager for rail communication.
 Advance in Real Estate.
 Owing to the practical shape in which the railroad men have put the matter, real estate has advanced to very high figure. Previous to the railroad excitement the sale of lots in Guaymas was almost unknown, but now, own CTS of real estate appreciate the situation, and find that land is a valuable possession. Lots Literally not worth paying taxes on them be- fore now, are at present considered little gold mines wIIich will pan out exceedingly well Tn every branch of trade there IS considera- ble activity. Money is plentiful, and the people are just realizing what it is to come down to actual work.
 Peace in Sonora
 With the exception of the raids Of the Apaches from the northern border, perfect peace exists throughout the entire State The Juarez party is in the ascendancy every where. The only attempt at revolution m Guaymas was promptly quelled
 The general news is to the effect that the Government forces continue to triumph over the revolutionisis. Although Juarez has de clared the revolution to be at an end, except on the Gulf coast in Sinoloa, there are strong forces still in arms at various points in the Republic. The Government, however, is confident of being able to put down the armed bandits intesting the country under the guise of "soldiers of the regeneration"

FROM SOUTHERN ARIZONA,

The Tucson Citizen, of May Il, has the following:
 Yesterday evening, at 3:3O, NIT. Monson the Mail Agent, on the line east of this place, arrived and gave the following unwelcome news: On Saturday evening, May f. about half past five, the buck board coming wesH was attacked at Stein's Peak, about B miles east of Apache Pass, and the driver, Henry Abraham, discharged soldier of the Eighth Cavalry, and formerly of San Francisco, where he has friends residing, was shot, scalped and burned. The blackboard had on three sacks of mail matter-one through letter, one way mail, and one paper sack They were all destroyed by fire, including the blackboard. Twelve soldiers and guide started out from Apache Pass as soon as noti- fled, and found the wreck on the 9th. MT. Monson came along on the night of the 9th and picked up the irons belonging to the burnt blackboard and brought them in to Tucson The guide (Merejildo) thinks there were about 9 or 30 Indians. He also thinks it was Cachse's band who committed the murder, as Cachise has pass from the Indi- an Agent in New Mexico, to go in the direc- ton of Apache Pass, and it is known that he went in that direction. The soldiers buried Henry Abraham where he was killed, and returned to Apache Pass. Mir. Monson informs us further that Abraham had, two weeks since, received letter from brother urging him to return to California, and he had decided to do so, and that this was his last trip over the road. Poor fellow, it was his last trip surely.
 TRoop NJ, Fifth Cavalry, Capt. E. II. Leib, and First Lieut. Jacob Almy, by order of Colonel Crittenden, Commanding Post, left Grant on Monday morning, 9th inst, for the new camp at Arivaipa Spring, and First Lieut..

The Arizona Sentinel of May II, publishes the following:
 "The following letter was handed to us by May. or A. J. Finlay:

 WASHINGTON, D. C., April l7th, 1872. Hon. R. c. Mccormick House of Representa- GENrLEMEN:-Ia am in receipt Of a letter ad- dressed to you by A. J. Finlay Esq, Mayor of Arizona City, dated Fort Yum", March 24th, 1872, making certain inquiries relative to the issue of patents to parties claiming lots in said town site of Arizona City.
 In reply, have the honor to state that the entry of the town-sites under the Act of March 2 1867, is made by the town authorities or Probate Judge, in trust for the occupants, under such rules and regulations may be prescribed by the proper State or Territorial Legislature. The deeds may Dc made to the claimants the lots, after tue try and before the issue oi patent by the Govern ment, as may be provided for in the rules and rcgulatio referred to- but in the opinion of this office such deeds should not be made to lot-hold until after the matter has been adjucated, and the patent from the Government has issued" The entry of the town-stc Of Arizona City will be examined at an early day, and you will be ad Nised of the action taken"

Miscellaneous News Items.

Ben. c. Truman formerly of the San Diego Bulletin, has joined tho editorial corps of the Los Angeles Express. The Majors experience in journalism, and his happy faculty of dress ing up news items makes him valuable ac. quisition to any paper.
 The recent developments on the Comstock ledge at the depth of 800 feet or more, show the ledge at that point is dry as dust, conse. quently it is to be expected that the great Sutro Tunnel which was started for the pur. pose of draining the mines on the Com stock, will have to be abandoned as a failure
 A great deal of money has been expended on the tunnel which seems likely to be a dead loss.

Our Delegate.

X prominent merchant of Arizona now in San Francisco, sends us the following from the 4ilta of May 4th, saying it expresses his ideas exactly.
 All the Territories as well as the States elect delegates to Congress this year, and as for our neiShbor Arizona, We do not believe that she can do better than to return her pres cut delegate Mir. Mccormick He is well and favorably known in Washington, is fam iliar with the course of parliamentary pro- ceedings, and we believe can serve the Terri tory more efficiently than any new man, both in the legislative halls and in the Executive Departments. It requires residence and official experience of several years in Wash ington to acquire much influence there, and it would not be wise in Arizona to send a greenhorn now to represent her interests
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-05-25

The Santa Fe Gazette says there is well founded report in its town that the Navajos have run off five hundred head of sheep from the Rio Puerco. We think it highly probable, as the Government has not issued any meat to that tribe for a month past. Many of them are in a starving condition, and most any one would steal rather than starve. From the items in another column. it will be seen that the Apaches as we'll as the Navajos have liking for mutton.

Political.

Washington telegraphic dispatches of May 9th, and 9th, state that at the Republican State Conventions held in New Hampshire and New York, resolutions passed pledging support to the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention and expressing preference for General Grant. Also, that the National Dem ocratic Executive Committee, by vote of three to one, issued call for National Con- ysntion to meet in Baltimore July 9th.
