4 Few Cautious Remarks

The Arizona Miner and Albuquer- que Review have little difference on their hands with which THE CITIZEN
 will not interfere; but inasmuch as The Review is moved to remark, in that connection, that "New Mexico is 8 ga far better country to settle in, for "either agricultural or mining purpos- "es, than either Arizona or Colorado" |" we consider 8 few observations are here in order. The Review makes an unsupported declaration and one, with due deference to its privilege to say what it pleases, which the facts will not corroborate. THE CITIZEN has not and will not underrate nor un- favorably criticise New Mexico or any other Territory, but will as fla vorably as truth will justify, repre- sent Arizona. Whenever THE CITI- ZEN takes to making odious or unjust comparisons between Arizona a nd any other Territory, the present pro- prietor will not own 1t. New Mexico and Arizona are just what they are, and newspaper assertions will not de- stroy their merits or give them velue which they do not possess. Un- solicited advice, however good, is gen. eraliy ungraciously received and often provC kes saucy retorts, hence we'll not offer The Review any, but will remark that we glory in all its good and true representations of New Mex leo, and will also feel compelled to intimate that its foot is unnecessarily over the traces when 1t makes such comparison al is quoted above.

Tucson Literary Society.

Our remarks last Saturday, or proper local spirit, moved a number of our citi- zens to meet in the public school-room last Saturday evening and take preliminary steps to organize a society to promote ora tory and diffuse intelligence. l.. M. Ja- cobs was chosen temporary chairman and J. $. VoSburg, secretary. A business con- mittee consisting of MeSSrS. ZeckendOrf, Bennett and Jones was appointed, and an- other on bylaws and regulations, com posed of Judge Hughes, Carlos Fully and J. $. Vosburg. After promiscuous sugges- tions appropriate to the occasion, the meeting adjourned to Wednesday evening to hear reports of the committees and for other proper action.
 Wednesday evening, the meeting was held in Judge Hughes office. A reSpecta- ble number was in attendance and in- creased interest manifested. The business committee reported that the public school room could be freely had for the meetings of the association, and the committee on bylaws submitted their work-which was accepted and laid over for further action at the next meeting. Names for the SO- ciety were suggested but none formally adopted. Subjects of discussion were then suggested, and Judge Hughes presented this: That the annexation of Mexico to the United States would be advantageous to both countries. It was adopted for dis cusSiOn tomorrow evening at s p. m. in the school-room, and Messrs. l.. Wolf and Carlos Fully were chosen for the affirma- tive and Messrs. W. Zeckendorf and J. S.. VOsburg for the negative. These princi- pals are allowed fifteen minutes each for debate. Volunteer disputantS will be per mitted to share in the discussion, and sev- en minutes of time to each. It is under stood that an able volunteer can have an extension of time by unanimous consent. Another committee to receive and seat vis- itors was appointed, and the meeting ad- ix,rr, NrCf fxN-rN xys,tO Q
 A few of the more earnest and valuable members request us to state that less levity on the part of some attendants would be acceptable; that it is not just the thing to frivolOuSly treat earnest remarks or propositions, albeit they may be ridicu- lOusly distorted. Coinciding with these ideas, we trust this gentle reproof will have the desired effect.

THE race between the Gray Eagle and a certain bay horse came off last Tuesday, the former easily winning, as per reports. Some of the losing gamesters say the race was not executed according to previous agreement, in that the bay was to win the first race; then another was to be made and Gray Eagle should win it. Losing men are aptto be suspicious. Our stock of sym pathy is too limited to reach these un- fOrtunateS.

THE public school of Tucson opened on Thursday of this week. Without any notice worth naming, fifteen boys and five girls appeared the first day, and yesterday girls attended. AS none looked for the teachers here before last evening, parents were not expecting to send their children until next Monday, at which time there will be large increase of both sexes. We learn that the pupils speak highly of their teachers, and the teachers find their new field more acceptable than they anticipat- ed. There is every reason to believe that the school will soon be largely attended, and the teachers be deservedly popular and appreciated by pupils and parents.

THE GOyERNOR,s MESSAGE.

The Governor sent to the House last
night message, in which be urgently ap-
pezls to them to reE ain in session until
they have passed the two important IeVe-
nue. bills which they have before them. 1t
is very evident that some of the Represent
atives most bitterly opposed to the fund.-
ing law, had endeavored to defeat the two
revenue bills of which the Governor speaks,
by frittering away the time of the House
in speeches made solely for delay, and in
diIatory motions, amendments and proceed
ings. They seem not to have been aware
ofthe fact that the funding law makes it
the imperative duty ofthe Treasurer to ''set
apart for that exclusive purpose so much of
the revenues as may be necessary to pay the
interest on the bonds commencing with the
interest that falls due on the LIST of July,
1874" The funding law is the law, and
those who opposed it cannot repeal it nor
defeat its operation. The existing revenue
laws viii raise simply sufficient to pay the
interest on the debt. Ali that those who
are striving SO earnestly TO defeat the pend
ing revenue laws could accomplish by such
result, would be the defeat Of the extraor-
binary appropriations which they have
made. The Governors appeal TO them is
earnest and respectful, and should be heed
ed. If they do not, the corrective will be
in the hands of the people.
