all the requisites of personal fitness
even in the opinion of his political
opponents. Whereas, if Grant is re-
elected, every nomination of a corrupt
man will be equivalent to a full an
pointment, inasmuch as friendly and
subseryient Senate will turn blind
eye to the faults of his nominees. Mr..
Greeley's election will therefore guar
aatee pure civil service.
1t will be very .salutary in another
respect. With Mr.. Greeley as Presi-
dent, tie Southern people will regard
the Federal Government as a friend
and not as an enemy. There will ac
cordingly be no further irregular OPP
position (Ku-Klux or other); and the
Federal laws passed ostensibly for the
suppression of such organization will
fall into desuetude for the lack of any
occasion to put them in force. A free
submission to the Federal authority
under Mr.. Greeley is altogether pre-
ferable to the necessity of putting
down opposition by force under Gen.
eral Grant. Voluntary obedience and
unconstrained loyalty are so much bet
ter and cheaper than submission ex-
torted by force!
Another priceless advantage Of Mr..
Greeley's election is the effect of his
Administration on the negro mind
The Southern negroes are banded
together for Grant because their ig-
norance has been practised upon to
make them believe that the Democrat
ic party would remand them to slavery.
When they find that their rights are
fully protected under Mr.. Greeley's
Administration, they will at last be
that both political parties
and the whole country cordially con-
cede their freedom and political fran
chises; and they will not afterwards
be disturbing element in our politics,
because they will be divided and make
affiliations with both parties, and there
by become so intermixed with the
whites politically that they will be re-
garded as part and parcel of the great
body of our citizeus. No party will
then be hostile to them, because both
will have motives for soliciting their
votes and protecting their interests.
Mr.. Greeley's election will he the
larbinger of peace and reconciliation;
reconciliation between the two great
sections of the country lately at war,
Ind reconciliation between the black
md the white race, who will then feel
hat they have a common interest in
promoting the general welfare.-[New

TOWN AND COUNTY MATTERS.
Beware of Fire.

Fire is good thing to have in the house these cool days and rights, bat it is neither pleasant nor profitable for person to have his or her house set fire and burned up, or rather, down. This, no one, we think, will dispute. We, therefore, hope our citizens and the citizens of every other combustiblc town and settlement in the Territory, will guard against fire, and not fire anythiug except fircwood, in a stove, chimney, or sssc camping place. Not long since, house used for restaurant, in this town, got fired and would have been dcvourcd hadlnot person who was clese by, checked the first dangerous symp- tom by drenching it with pan of milk. Had this pan of milk issued from the uddcr of the reeklcss old COW, which, VIC arc told, fired Chi- esgo, the circumstance would have gone great way towards rcdecming her bad character, but as 1t did not, people must continue to fire away at her, for her 'cusscdncsss." Of course there is no law human or Divinc-against setting fire to and burning ranchcrias of hostile Indians.

Freight Trains, Etc.

' From Wm. Stansiicld, who arrived here several days ayo, we have received news to the effect that a train of nine wagons, belonging to him, has re- gently arrived at Camp Date Creek, from Ehren. berg, with Government freight.
 Another train of his -four wagons), with goods for Campbell tS Butlum, Levi Bashford, R. Mcach- am, D. Henderson .S Bro., of this place, Geo. H. Kimball, of Date Creek, and Dr. Bcndell, of Fort Whipplc, will shortly arrive, provided Indians do not |" take it i'm"
 Mir. s. has also, en route for Prescott, a 25horsc power engine and the machinery for saw-mill, which he may soon erect somewhere south oi Prescott, together with shingle machine.
 Tuesday last, there arrived from San Bernardo no, California, train of four wagons, (with trail- ers), with goods, recently purchased in New York for Levi Bashford, of this place, and D. F. Foster, of Camp IIualpai. The goods received by Mir. Bashford consist of clothing, hats, gloves, boots, rope, syrups, etc, etc. Mir. Fosters goods arc such as are usually kept in Suslcr stores. His r,oyrs, -auntiets and other comfortcrs arc ahead of any ever before seen by us.
 By this train, the MINER received, in good or der. a lot of labor-saving material, which MT. Tinsisy, editor of the Lyons (N. Y.) Hep~otean' purchased for us.

War Amoug the Heathan7.

Monday night last, at a Chinese wash-housc, on Granite street, three tcaand Opiumnspired dcv- ills from the Flowcry Land, attacked country man of theirs, who had sawed off his tail, cut him up horribly and would have killed him outright had not Jennings, the night watchnan, rushed in and stopped the war; The taillcss Chinaman's wounds were dressed by Dr. Kendall, who in forms us that they were sufficiently numerous and dangerous to have put an end to any man or living thing save a Chinaman. Arrests were made by Jennings, but we believe that all the flesh chopping scoundrcls arc now at large.
 In connection with this affair. there is cOnsid- erable talk among citizens, regarding Jenning-' action, 10 get possession Of certain cash, belong ing 10 one or more Of the Chncsc-sAid action, some say, bcicg very similar to that in vogue among burglars aud highwaymcn. But more "f .lis hereafter.

Mines and Mining.

The mining news of this section may be .sum- med as follows:
 The Tiger is yielding ore, more than half oi which is silver. This orc is being carefully sack cd for shipment to San Francisco and should 1t fail to create sensation, upon it's reception therc We will agree to live upon grass straight, tne balance of our days. This ore is from the loo-fcct level, where there is plenty of orc Of tue same sort.
 The Benjamin, and adjacent mines, near Pres colt, gre doing remarkably we'll in yielding rich silver ore. l.. B. St James, recently from Piochc, Nevada, visited the Bcnjaisir, Canadian, and oth- CT lodes in the same belt, this week, and pro- nounces them richer than the richest Piochc mines-whch is asserting great deal.
 s. May arrived from Peoples Valley, Thursday night last, with the good news that John A. Rush's little mill had run five hours, during which time it had crushed enc ton of quartz. Uncle Sam says further, that tue mill is a sue cess, and that John White is at work taking rock from the Josephine mine, for said mill.
 The Josephine mine is small, but very rich in free gold.

Mining in Southern Arizona.

The mining interest in Southern Arizona, we should judge from every account received, is once more springng into active life. The general languor which followed the collapse Sf the famous Burro' sensation and that of the McPherson mining humbug, has, evi- dently given place to spirit better worthy the characteristic perseverance of Ar'zonans. I'm addition to the accounts given by our ex- ccllent correspondent, Marius," we have letter from Mr. Hughes, of Tucson-a most reliable gentleman - which puts very fair face upon the mining prospects south of the Gila, generally.
 Among the latest and most valuable dis coveries is new mining district, in noun : tain range some 5 miles south of Tucson. At the time of writing, specimens of the ore were being tested, and the results, So far, had given the utmost satisfaction. The location of this district, judging by distance and di- rection from Tucson, must be less than p miles distant from the timbercd regions of the Santa Rita mountains-in which case it's value will be doubly enhanced.
 Although the mines south oi the Gila are neither so rich nor so extensive as those to the north-so far as they have been explored yet there arc mines in Pima county which were worked with profit, many years ago, and would, to-day, be yielding mp their trea- surcs, were it not for the hostility of the sayares which rendered their abandonment ;mperativc, and the resumption of work i'm possihle. But, let the life like spirit which has inst gained the ascendcncy in Southern Arizona. have free rein, anu let General Crook ,ttend to the rcd men, and there will he many rich things unearthqd among the mountains of the Gadsden Purchase. within the next two years.
