that in ballottng for candidates, the na-
,ority of all the votes cast wonld be nee
sasarv to q choice. The chairman an
nounced thst the committee on resolu
tons would be unable to announce the
n,atforrr until the evening session. a
motion to proceed to the nomination OF
candidates, without waiting for the plat
form, was tabled by large majority.
After this, followed long and excited
debate between the friends of Protee-
tive platform and those of Free Trade
platform. Greely and his friends of the
Eastern States are the advocates Of the
first, while the Western men are strong
in their advocacy Of Free Trade.
It being finally announced that the
Platform would not be reported until
next day, the Convention adjourned un-
Ill 10 O. clock on Friday, after hot fight
over a motion to begin balloting without
waiting for the platform.
On Friday morning at 10, the Conven-
ton reassembled, and the Platform was
read and unanimously adopted, amio
great applause.
The Platform sets forth, in substance,
that the administration has rendered II
self guilty of usurpation' OF the oonsa'
tuition, and has acted as If the Laws wers
made for those governing instead OF those
governed. The president has used hi
power in appointing persons to ofiict
from personal motives, and has peen
culpably careless in the duties OF his
Office. His partisans have pretended
that no serious fault conld be found witt
his administration. They have KEEP
alive the passions excited by the late
war, instead Of inciting patriotic feelings
and, like base.sycophants to the power
from which they expected favors, they
are striving to keep themselves in Office

all men before the law; the Union of the
States, and no reopening Of the questions

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for u HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Postal Service.

We are di.gustcd with our two mails week, and sigh for the time when daily mail will be run to and through Northern Arizona. When the mail does come it keeps us reading for a day, whereas, if We had a daily mail an hour or two of each day would suffice for reading up and writing correspon- dence. Just now, however, our citizens must be content with pressing the matter of having time reduced on the route hence to California and the East, and that to South ern Arizona, and we hope every citizen of the Territory will sign the petition asking for the greatly needed change.
 We fear that the long-talked-of service to New Mexico, ria the Thirty-fifth Parallel route, has gone by default, and we have not yet seen any award of contract for carrying mail over the route from Prescott to Hardy vile, ria Camps Hualpai, Beale Springs, and towns in Wallapsi mining district.
 The Postmaster General should not allow his prejudiccs to interfere with his duty to the citizens of this Territory, who, the Lord knows, have sufficient to contend with, be- sides the hardship of isolation.

It is reported that Forney has sold his Philadelphia Press. We'll, it isn't the first time he has sold a press.
 Pioche has had another shooting scrape, m which Charles Hickey asshot and killed by Mike Holland.
 The drummer boy of Company l, 2lst ln- iantry, was shot and killed recently by a soldier of Company c, of same regiment. The boy had been to Vancouver, and return ing home, in the night, was hailed by sen- tinel, and not answering, was shot dead. The affair saddened the hearts of soldiers and citizens.
 The Cincinnati Enquirer says the Liberals of it's city and county gained heavily in the late election. All the officers elect arc Liberals.
 It is said that D. W. Voorhees, is defeated for Congress. If so, it serves him just right for the foolish chute he took immediately after the nomination of Greeley.
 Of late, it has been whispered that the diamonds are in Wyoming Territory.
 Greeley's friends say he is sure of Ohio and Indiana.

MORE GOOD NEWS.
Mine More Apaohe-MohaveI Indians Suffer
 Death for their Grimes.
From the MINER Extra, of October 29.l

From the MINER Extra, of October :9
 The military party which started from Camp Hualpa on the 2lst inst, under com mand of General Crook, have returned home, after having killed nine Apache Mohave h. dians and captured and destroyed considera- Iblc quantities of Apache Provender, arms, &c. The killing was done near the Santa Maria river, on the 25th inst, by troops un- der the immediate command of Captain Mason, 5tli Cavalry, to whose energy and de- termination all friends of civilization are indebted for lessons taught the murderous savages of this section.
 Previous to striking the foe, Gen. Crook, with few men, had struck out for Camp Date Creek, to see and have talk with some Indians who said they desired peace.
 DC. Moreland and George Hoge, from whom we have received the foregoing infor- nation, say that one Wallapai was killed by mistake. His friends burned his body, gun, blankets, etc.
 Captains Montgomery and Adam led their companies.
 We rejoice over the fact that nine more murderers have met a just doom, and that General Crooks plans are being so success fully carried out. -
 Since placeng the foregoing in type, we have learned that our force consisted uf DOT tions of three Companies of the Fifth Caval- ry-K, B, and c, Captains Mason, Montgom- cry and Adam; Lieutenants Schuyler and Michler, of same regiment; about S5 Walla- pai Indians, guides and packers. Citizens D. c. Morelahd, George Hogle and Jos. 'Fugit, took advantage of the movements of the ex- petition to prospect the. country. The Apache Mohsyes were vary wary and, but for the keep search made. !hy~the, troops and friendly Indians, no Apache heMohavcs; would have been found. .-
 The friendly Wallapai had either thrown off his distinguishing badge, or lost.it, ,-aRd to this fact is his death attributable. His friends did not like this portion of the per formance, but became reconcled and well pleased aftep; their demand of two horses in payment for the lost comrade, had been com piled with There are numerous. other. de- tails, but we have neither time nor space to give them, and will close by rendering the thanks of our citizens to Gen. Crook, his officers and men, including the friendly Wal lapais, for this, tue latest article in a new and lasting Peace treaty soon to be made by General Crook.

Gems and Things, Again .a

Now comes our old friend George M. Will ling, who prospected and mined in this Ter ritory, in 1864, and says, in the Denver Ne,rs, that he has found diamonds and other pre- cious stones on the Little Colorado river, be- tween Lthodendon and Carizo creeks, which place is about 40 miles east of Prescott. But, Mr. Willing is of opinion that such stones as he found are not plenty, and advises diamond hunters to go slow. Safe advise, indeed, but as he has added his testimony to that of others concerning the existence of precious stone here, it is not to be supposed that his advice will be followed at time when leading citizens of San Francisco are firing the public heart with the glare of 300 diamonds which they say they recently found in region of country where, owing to the rigor of the climate, washing cannot be car ried on in winter. Now, there are very cold places in Arizona, but none so much so as to prevent North American from prospecting for and washing diamond gravel.
 The place where Willing says he found the diamonds is not to exceed 4.5OO feet above sea level, and we, ourself, have "panned out /" gold in colder places than it possibly can be. So, if diamonds exist there, the cold will not prevent their extraction in winter time.
 Among Arizonans, there arc many who be- lieSe that the excitement about diamonds IS far from being humbug, yet they know not, for certain, the exact locality of Roberts x Cos "rich dggings."

POLITICAL.

The cventful day upon which the great, fervent pulse of the Republic will beat with accelerated velocity, is drawing nigh. Next Tuesday, November ,, will settle the ques- tion of who are to be officials and who are not. A Chief Magistrate, his Vice, Congress men, State and county officers are to be elected on that day, and great will be the re- joicing of the successful party, which, from present indications, promises to be the party now in power. Having no part to play, no voice in the great contest, we can only hope that our fellow citizens of the States will not permit themselves to be swayed by passion, prejudice of any sort, or, worse still, monied interest.
 While some citizens favor the prolongation of Presidential term to six or more years, we rejoice that the term is no longer, for four years is long enough for any people to stand corrupt, discriminating Administration, and we sincerely wish man who would be President of the whole people and not of a party could be elected. But, the public mind is not yet ripe for this, nor will 1t be until the vicious doctrine of "to the victors belong the spoils," is secuted by men of diff ferent political ideas. The rule by which nearly one-half the population of the coun- try is shut out from entering the service of their Government, because they happen to differ with the political views of the Admin istration in power is unworthy the free Re- public whose children they arc, and calculated to alienatc their love from it.

 With regard to our own local election we have but to request voters to be careful con corning the tickets they may vote, and see that those for whom they wish to vote are plainly printed or lcgibly written.

Notwithstanding the treaties which Col yer, Howard and others have made with the Apachcs, they (the Apaches) have stolen Ss head of animals from the industrious. peac- able Papago Indians since the 18th of August last. This, too, after solemn promise on the part of the Apaches to let the Papsgoes ana their property alone. Yet, the policy oi Government is to feed the Apaches and leave the poor rapagoes to rustic a living or starye. What policyl

Whitman.

In reviewing the sentence pronounced upon the vaeabond Whitman, Gen. Schofield strongly intimates that dismissal from the service should have been "awarded" the fel. low, and it should.
