STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.--Gen. Sherman in his report to the Secretary of War, states that the number of enlisted men in the army is 400 less than the 30,0O0 limited by law in active regiments, and that the sick men,. and those detailed for duty about posts, reduces the actual number of men for military service to about l9,00O. The regimental commis- stoned officers on duty, or belonging to the several departments and divisions, number, in the aggregate, l,5S2; of present for duty, l,234 absent on leave, or detached, 29S The foregoing does not include 3l second leutenants recently appointed from civil life and under orders to join their regiments
 The General earnestly recommends that Congress be asked to fix the limit of the en listed force at such figure as to give 5000 for regiments of the line, and to provide specially for non-combatant detachments such as an engineer battalion, ordnance de partment, West Point detachme1ts, and sig nal ordnance. tsf-s

From ThursdaY's Daily. 1

Now that Capt. Rockwell, acting chief quartermaster of this military department, is at his st-Headquarters-we do hope he will pay contractors and others, the money that is due them for supplies, freight, etc. that is, if he has the wherewithal to do it; and we learn that he has. Many of our peo- pie have trusted the Government for several months past, and, now, that money is scarce, they want some to pay taxes, etc.
 Our people, everywhere, are complaining of neglect on the part of the Government off cials, somewhere, to do their duty, and noth- ing but their duty, as citizens have done, and propose to do, for it, and not few of them complain of the nonsensical red tape per. formances through which they have gone before getting pay for supplies or labor.

YruA CorSrY.-The Sentinel of December 9th comments on the communication Of w. H. Hardy recently published in the Mt'ef, con corning mails, etc, in rather rough manner. Mir Hardy is not alone in thinking that the inhabitants of Northern Arizona have good cause of complaint, and if there have been, and is, abuse or neglect, the only way to se- cure redress is to call attention to the matter, which Mr. II. has done in his own way.
 The Arizona Sentinel of December 9th states that the infant son of Rebecca $. and Captain c. Wheaton, 23d Infantry, died at Fort Yuma December 2d.
 Ayoung Indian was murdered and the body frightfully mutilated sometime during the night of December lst. The body was found near the steamboat house.
 An idea of the trade of Yuma may be found from the fact that since September 9th, { period of seventy days, the firm of Wm. B Hooper Co. nave dispatched to difieren sections of Arizona, ss4, l46 pounds of freigb for the various military posts, and 563,OOC pounds to citizens in different towns. Othe Yuma merchants during the same time for warded large amounts of freight
 The Grand Jury recommended the discon tinuance of the chain-gaug in Yuma, and tn, employment of night guard at the count! jail.

 TIE marriage of Delegate Mccormick seems to have been happy occasion. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the brides father, in Washington City, and although rather private affair, was attended by many notables of the country with their wives and daughters. Miss Lizzie Porter, daughter of Admiral Porter, was bridesmaid. The bride was attired in white silk, with orange blos- soms and pearl ornaments. President Grant and Miss Nellie Grant, Mrs. Secretary Fish escorted by the British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton, Attorney-General Williams, Sec retaries Belknap and Richardson, Justice Swayne, Senators, Representatives and Dele gates were present. Arizona was represented by Major Wm B. Hooper and wife, of Yuma, and Mrs. Dr. c. II. Lord, of Tucson.
 We understand the happy pair intend tc visit Arizona next spring.

From Wednesdays Daily The Texas Pacific.

Since Colonel Tom Scott has stated the grounds on which his company will ask for Government aid, the terms and amount to be asked; the press all over the country has been overhaulng the railroad question and examining it in all it's bearings. The Cen tral Pacific and Union Pacific roads, after receiving aid enough from Government to build and equip their roads, fail now to pay the interest on the obligation; and while one party urges that on account of the national benefits accruing from the road across the Continent, Government can afford to lose what,it has invested another is anxious that Uncle Sam should take the road, assumeshe entire indebtedness and settle with the other creditors, and then operate the roads for Ma tional benefit.
 This party protests against any assistance being given to the Texas Pacific or any other road, unless under the strictest guarantees and most ample security, but recommends, al
 the same time, that Government should build
 the Texas Pacific and Northern Railroads
 own them, and operate them, on the sam'
 principle that States have built canals anC
 bridges, and, charging the public the loves
 possible tolls, have made them a source O
 revenue, and apply the profits to the use O
 the State for the public good, The othe party, embracing all railroad men, favor , Scotts project, arguing that with the guaran
 tee of Government for payment of the bond' , the Texas Pacific would be rapidly built, nm g in few years would make rich and flourishiu g States of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, s . that the latter, instead of being burder n would bring revenue to the National Treas e ury. The subject is likely to have prett - thorough ventilation in Congress before an
 action will be taken, and in the mean tim e the Construction Company has obtained a
 extension of time from its creditors, and Go 1T Scott declares that work on the road from tl z east and west ends will go on without cessi t ton.

The Legislature of New Mexico met on the first inst

Every one who does business in Arizona knows how long they have to wait for the disbursment of funds from the Quartermaster's Department, and what serious consequences and sometimes loss are the result We have received statement from what seems to us good authority, that funds on Quartermaster's estimates are not sent to Arizona usually for several months after the month for which they are made--wbile in other departments funds are on hand promptly by the close of each month. If such is the case it is unjust to our people who have heavy dealings with Government, in furnishing supplies and trans portation and we have right to demand that we be placed on the same footing as others. There Is some cause for the action referred to, and a remedy ought to be ap- piled Owing to our isolated position, with no banking facilities to relieve the pressure, it is very hard to carry out a large contract with the C. M. Department and have to wait from three 10 five months for pay.
 We hope that the new Quartermaster, Col 4. P. Rockwell, will examine into this matter and endesYor to inausuratc a new state o affairs,

THE PREsrDENT's MESSAGE. - President Grant delivered his message to Congress De- cember lst. The document is much longer than any of his previous messages. It was our wish to have the message telegraphed to the MINER, and we expected to publish it entire on the day succeeding it. delivery by the President, but the indisposition of the telegraph line gave quietus to our hopes in that direction.
 The President refers to the settlement of the northwestern boundary our peaceful re- lations with all nations the satisfactory ar engagement of the Spanish question; the na- tional finances; the condition of the army and navy, and other important matters spe- officially, and makes recommendations con cerning action on them. He adheres to his past Indian policy and advises the establish ment of territorial government for the tribes in Indian Territory

ERECT AND Rgs AgAsraAs.-This is cur advice to all Arizonans who own rich gold and silver lodges. True, arastraing ore is slow business, but it is a sure way of making living and developing one's ledge, and it is not every company that can get n mill, or, i they had one could run 1t with success.

nndping the Responsibility.

Carpenter is elected president of the
senate pro tenn. Thirty-twO Republicans
voted for him sixteen Democrats voted
for Thurman; Schurz and Sunmer cast
blank rotes- and thirteen Senators declined
TO cote at all.
Now, it is fair to presume that Messrs.
Schurz and Sumner, who voted blanks,
and the thirteen gentlemen who refused to
vote in any way, were each and all opposed
TO the election OF Carpenter Yet, by tax
ing the course they did, the verdict against
him was shirked which should have been
promptly and fearlessly performed. These
senators may think that by their action
or rather, inaction-they have avoided the
responsibility of contributing to the eleva
ton of an unworthy person to high anC
honorable Office. But they have certainly
assumed another responsibility equal
" grave-that of lodging a plair
question which their constituents haC
right to expect they would boldly
meet. If Carpenter was. in their opinion
a proper man for the place. they SHOULD
have voted for him if an improper man
then duty and selfrespect demanded the.
should vote fairly and squarely agains
him. When will our public men learn tina
the people have better opinion Of brav
knave than of cowardly saint, and tina
of all cowardice in the world moral COW
dice in the worst?
