ENOUGH favorable news Is received regarding the Texas Pacific Railway Colupany's operations, to keep hope alive that actual work is not far off. A meeting to perfect measures for commencing construction, is reported to have been recently held in New York. The long and disastrous block ade on the Union Pacific ought to incite early and rapid work on this lower line which snows will never obstruct.

IT is 8 great pity that the eastern mail for Arizona had not all been sent via Santa Fe this Winter. What little mail, accidentally we presume, came that way, is all in up into this month, whereas all the January mail for this section via the Omaha route, is still due; and unfortunately the letter mail is nearly all forwarded that way.

EXHILERATING NEWS.

The San Diego Union of the 18th, received this morning, has this railroad news which has working ring to it.:
 San Francisco, February 17.-At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Texas Pacific Railroad Company, held at New York yesterday, Colonel Thomas A. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was unanimously elected President of the Company, vice Marshal 0. Roberts, resi- rned. The company will hold business meeting to day. It is now certain that the construction of the road will be prosecuted with great vigor. All the differences which have hitherto prevented united action have been adjusted harmoniously. A railroad by the Thirty-second parallel to San Diego is now fixed fact.

GENERAL ALLEN writes us from Sweetwater station that the mountains between Maricopa Wells and Gila Bend are full of Apaches. The at tacks on Mir. Richard, and on De- guerre's train, and thefts on the Pima Reserve, seem to confirm this report.

EATONSVILLE JOURNALISM.

Mr.. Dickens in his admirably drawn ber>
lesque on village news papers, must nave had
in his minds eye the Shepherdstown Register
ct id on,me genus; for surely, the role of the
"EatonsoiUe Independent" could not be better
played than it has been in the last issue of
the Register, by sundry underhand, covert
filings at gentlemen in no way responsible for
the sentiments expressed in the editorial col>
umns of the Spirit. IF we venture to assert
edtorial'y, that it is somewhat remarkable
that Col Boteler should be self constituted
champion to avenge the insults Of gentlemen.
who are not conscious of having been insulted,
the quasi 'Eotons0il2e Independent" wilfuly
misconstrues this into "sp;teful and persistent
personalities" makes an abominable pun by
styling the Spirit Of Jefferson not esprit
Of heazh," which, however, is considered
good enough for repetition in two successive
issues. Thackeray, we believe wrote book

A PLEA OF CONFESSION AMI
AVOIDANCE.

The writer of the leading editorial in the
last issue OF the Free Press is too good law
yer, we believe, not to know what is meant by
plea of confession and avoidance. His edi-
.torial is just such Plea. In refusing to deny
that the editor of the Free Press voted ex>
pressIy. or tacitly by his silence, to make the
nomination of Mr.. Martin uDaninous, he con-
fesses the fact. Then as matter Of avoidance
to our question. of how it happens that the
Free Press continues practically to bolt" by
refusing to hoist the name of nominee for
whom its editor either expressly, or tacitly
voted by his silence, he brings numerous
charges Of Inconsistency against the Spirit.
The sins of the Spirit will be no apology in
the day of reckoning to the Democratic Con.
servative party for the sin of the Free Press
in refusing to support nominee for whom not
only the editor of the Free Press. but every
other delegate in the Convention expressly or
tacitly voted. The nomination Of MIR. Mar
tin was made unanimous ac1hout dissenting
voice. We again ask, how it happens that
the editor of the Free Press expressly, or
tacitly by his silence, voted for Mr.. Martin,
and yet continues practically to bolt" by re-
tusing to hoist his name to the masthead of
the paper. We would like an answer this

THE VOICE OF PENNSYLVANIA

To>day State elections will be held in Penn.
sylvania. Ohio and Indiana, and although
much interest is manifested in the result in
all of them. the greatest amount is naturally
centred in the struggle in the s'Od Key
stone" The bearing that the result there
will have upon the Presidential contest. says
the Baltimore Gnzeite. cannot be over esti>
mated. As she votes in October, so will she
vote in November, and as Pennsylvania goes,
SO will go the Union. This is tho history of
the past, and is not at all likely to be changed
in the present. a few facts and figures will
illustrate our position. AS far back as 1914
in the contest between Polk and Clay, the
State went tor Polk. the successful candidate
for the Presidency, by majority of over g..
600, having at the previous October election
chosen Skunk, Democrat, Governor by ma
jority Of 5,400, after one of the bi,terest
fights ever known in the Commonwealth. In
1913 Genera! Zachary Taylor carried the State
by 5000 majority over General Cass-the
Gubcrnatoral election of the same year re>
sulting in the choice of Johnston Wing, by
the meagre majority of 302 In 1852, when
Pierce and Scott were pitted against each
other, the former was successful, BY ma>
jority of 10, 446, while at the previous Oc>
toher election the Democrats carried the State
by majority OF 10 947 In 1856. Buchan-
ans majority was ops, the proceeding Oc>
tober struggle showing Democratic prepon-
derauce of over 2, 1000. In 1860 Curtin, Re
publican, was elected in October by 32,164
majority, and Lincoln was successful in Mo-
vember by majority OF 59,6lS. In 1864
and 1868 the same result was exhibited,
Pennsylvania voting for the Republicans in
October and November, and the choice of her
people being the choice of the Union.
1t is safe, therefore, TO predict that if
Buckalew is elected Governor on Tuesday
next, Horace Greeley will carry the State in
November. and it is equally safe to assume
that the voice of Pennsylvania in this strug>
gle will be the voice of the country. Recent
advices furnish US with the mos, gratifying
accounts of the battle and there is scracely
doubt remaining of the overwhelming defeat
of Hartranft and the corrupt ''rug" that
forced his odous name upon the Republican
party. The friends of Grant having closely
identified his fortunes with that of Ha,tranft,
Cameron Ycrkes & Co., it is no uusouud con
clusion to arrive at that Hnrtranft's fate will
be his, and that, as Pennsylvania votes on
Tuesday, so will she and the Union vote in
the subsequent struggle.

THE Observation-Disclosures

When the Baltimore Convention, in the
name of the Democratic Conservative party
throughout the United States, accepted the
nominees and platform Of the Liberal Repub-
lieans, the political record of Horace Greeley
had been SO thoroughly ventilated by the
Democratic and Republican papers that his
merits and dement's were perfectly familiar to
every of ordinary intelligence He had
taken such prominent part in the political!
conflicts of the country that those who were
old enough remembered how odlous or popu
lar he had made himself by his warm advocacy
of, or violent opposition to measures then be-
fore the people for their adoption or rejection
Like all men of strong character, and vigor>
Gus intellect, he had not only an opinion of
his own, but the courage to express it At
no time was he ever found os'l-ide of tho
fence. Vigorously upon one side or the other

Before this was done his past political career
had been discussed al n0Wscam by the papers
and politicians of all parties Ii is therefore
little amusing, to read the pamphlets crcu-
lated by the Radical party, in behalf of Gen.
Grant--till recently a Democrat-in which
we are told by extracts from the New York
Tribune. ''What II. G.. knew about the De-

individual until brought to tie surface by the

for some years thereafter, need only reflect
that they have 10 other choice tIan Gen.
