It is barely probable that the city of Washington and its office-holding society live as happily, honestly, and worship God as much as the rest of the world.
 There is little if anything now in the way of facts, toreport to Arizona, so far as l can discover. have seen Governor Mccormick at work in the House of Representatives, and at his own house on Fourteenth street, No. 1,015. l don't see but what he gets round and looks about as we'll as the best of the Congressmen, and am sat- isfied he is better acquainted with the by-paths and direct roads to effective work here, than all the other Terri torial Representative combined. They have formed a sort of Syndicate, of which he Is Chairman, and of course it must be some advantage over the old every one- for himself arrange ment. The irreconcilable calamity to the Governors eyes, has made him look some older, but he is more feshy than when I saw him last. His right eye pains him considerably yet, but he seems to be in quite good spirits :; is at least as active as any man could be. Is out and all over town and through the different Departments as rapidly as if he had been born and bred to it. The curious prominence of Arizona of late, has advertised the Governor to the heads of the Govern ment, and they have all needed conf dence in him. The best indication of this fact is, that all those chaps from Colyer down who have bucked against his influence here, have broken their own heads. Of course, Territorial Congressmen can't vote the United States Treasury into the pockets of their constituents, and give every raw hide corral Post Office, but there is much good they can do, if properly qualified for 1t; to be an effective Delegate here, Is more costly, trouble some and laborious than to be regu- lar M. c. The wild and changing character of the frontier would sug- gest this fact to most any one who will give 1t a thought.
 I met Dr. Lord and wife at Gov ernor McCormick's, and altogether my visit here has not been as lonesome as was feared. There are other Ari- zonans in town and expected soon, but I will not see them-intending to leave this evening for Ohio. There is a terrific snow storm on hand now, and it will be more agreeable to travel about in the cars. One thing good on the weather in Washington-the Gov ernment tells you all about 1t before hand. This weather record or " Prob ability" Bureau is great success. I have not called on the President, as l think he has been damaged by his friends already somewhat. But we'll see what we'll see. I heard Sumner and Schurz grind out their grist, and all is quiet again on the Potomac, so far as that sort of wind goes. The Japs are frozen up or showed in again-not at Salt Lake, but here.
