PERILs OF THE DEsERT.-A letter from
Dos Palmas Station. on the desert, half
way between San Bernardino and La.
Paz, to the Yuma Sentinel, says: -Four
days ago the son of old Chino Theodore,
from Yuma, came to this station about
dark, on foot, and nearly dead for water.
He said he had left his father and boy,
the brother of Mrs. Jeager, ont forty
miles on the desert, without water and
nearly dead for the want of it, having
been without it for three days when he
left them twenty-four hours before. Joe
Dittier, the station keeper, and Hank
Brown started the next morning with a
team and plenty OF water to find them.
After going twenty-five miles they came
upon the old man. He had found cask
OF water that had been left by surveyors,
and had nearly drank himself to death.
One Of the party staid with him and the
other went to look for the boy. After
going fifteen miles be was discovered
stretched out under bush, naked and
almost dead-His tongue being swollen
and black, and blood running out of his
nose and ears. He was brought to after
two hours hard work. having been with.
out water for five DAYS and nights. Theil
three horses died. The party are now
stopping here and getting along al
right. The old man says that if he had
not lost his knife he would have cut hi:
throat and ended bis misery. The sta
tion-keeper and Brown deserve praise fol
the manner in which they acted, being
without food three days on their re
turn" E.

DoupLE MURpkR Ar WALLApA, on

4 DOUBLE MURDER AT NALLAPAl on
Hr.IpAr.-The Arizona Miner, of the
18th contains the following account OF
tragic event:
From Camp Hualpai, we learn that in
the latter part of last week an encounter
occurred near that place, in which Geo.
Thrasher and Andrew Stainbrook were
tillea-each at the others hands. OF
What was said or done at the time to
bring about quarrel no one knows, and
ia only known that on old feud existed,
that the shooting was heard in Stain
brooks barn, and that the first person
that reached the spot found them both
dead. laying, feet together, upon the
ground -Stainbrook pierced with three
1istel bullets, and Thrasher bored
through and through by single bullet
from needlo-gun. The parties lived
upon adjoining ranches, and had had
some difficulty about their stock tres
passing upoa each others crops, and it
is presumed that this had much to do
with the unfortunate, final settlement.
The citizens of the neighborhood formed
themselves into jury, and, after collect
ING the evidence available, forwarded to
acting Coroner Henry w. Fleury their
verdict, which corresponds with the
above. The bodies were buried in the
military cemetery at Camp Hualpai.
George Thrasher has resided here for
some years and was well known by most
of our citizens; was unmarried, and came
to this Territory from Bellville, Canada,
where he has a sister living. Andrew
Stainbrook came to Arizona from Kansas
but was formerly from Ohio. He leaves
wife and several children at the place
of his death.

The Docs ON THE PoIARIs.
mas day was q gala-day on board the
Polaris. The good ship was hemmed in
by heavy field ice; but the weather was
pleasant as an Italian Spring day. The
Esquimaux, and the dogs which Captain
Hall procured at st. Johns, were brought
into requisition, and a seal hunt was
proposed as the object Of the day. The
dogs were lowered to the ice in boat
from the davits, and were tackled to low
sledges by the Esquimaux. Captain
Hall says the sagacity and tractableness
Of these animals were remarkable. After
half an hours stretch gallop over the
heavy ice, the painting dogs suddenly
drew up and yelled, and paved the sur
face. One OF the Esquimaux-the old
est of the lot-at once interpreted the
warning Of the dogs and, quick as light
nng, he bounded from his seat, and
turned the dogs heads towards the ship.
In half the time it took to reach the dis
tance they had travelled from the Polaris,
the eager dogs pulled up beside the hull.
Around the horizon then there were
murky clouds assembling. and the atmos-
phere felt misty and bleak. Within an
hour after the barking of the sagacious
animals, the ice had been broken up.
and the Polaris was separated from it by
stormy channel nearly half q mile in
width. Had the seal.hunting party full.
hlled their intention of urging on the
dogs, and keeping up the sport until
moonlight, few of them would have sur
vlved the excursion.-lNew York Times,

COLORADO is taking a front rank as
mining region. Her people are energetic
and enterprising. We have heretofore
noticed their intention to run a twelve
mile tunnel through one Of the spurs Of
the Rocky Mountains, in order to pierce
the many valuable mineral-bearing lodges
1t is known to contain, and, from the
richness of several of their developed
mines, the undertaking, though stupend-
GUS, seems to be entirely justified. The
Pelican mine, located at Georgetown, up
to the first of October, had yielded $664,-
5o3, with net profit Of S439. 1863. With
increased railroad facilities, such rs are
being furnished and are promised, Col
orado will soon outstrip all the other
Territories in wealth and population.

SOME OF THE WORK.

Congress IS soon to convene again, and
the eyes of the country are anxiously
turned toward them. They have twelve
months, If they please, which they can de-
vote TO the business of the country, or,
without requiring of such poorly paid pub
lie servants too much work, seven or eight
months before the heat of summer would
drive them to seek recreation in travelling
or rest at home. SO far as the public treas
ury is concerned, in the pay of the officers
and members, il will make no difference
whether the session is long or short one,
although the jobbcrics usually attendant
upon long sessions might, perhaps, some
what effect it. Neither would the country
seriously suffer if but few weeks were
devoted to legislation There will, doubt
less, be countless projects presented for
their action, hut their constituents could
be better satisfied, and the country better
off, if they were given the 20 by at once
Some half dozen measures aside. we con-
ceiye that there is no pressing need for
new laws, or the repeal of old ones These
laws, which the country demand, have
been sufficiently indicated 50 that there
need not be much time, occupied in their
passage, and, if there is il will, in the
MAN, be set down to factious opposition.
Congress can, however, occupy itself to u
good purpose and one which will rebound
to the credit of the republican party, if fol-
lowed. We do not propose, this morning,
to do anything more than simply indicate
our meaning, leaving fuller consideration
thereof until another day. Where would
the republican party have been, to-day, if
James G.. Blaine had not fearessly de-
mandcd an investigation, at the hands of
Congress, in the matter of the Credit
Mobiier. Investigations were dccried,
because they might hurt the party, but
they went on mercilessly. Schuyler Col
lax and others persisted, but the party
lived. Corrupt men cannot faint or iniure
the party, unless the party cndcavor to
conceal the corruptions and screen the
Offender. The country and the party are
better today by reason of the invcstiga-
tons of last winter, and so long AS evil
practices are unearthed, both will continue
to grow better. Where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire. The mis-
management of, or corruption in, Indian
affairs needs looking after; three, at least,
United States judges ought to be impeached
or tried; defalcations in several depart
ments require looking into; assessment, Of
clerks for receptions and election expenses
should not be UNDECIDED these with the
buying Of seats the bribing of legislators,
etc, etc. will, if properly attended to,

NATIONAL BANKING.

The act of Congress, approved June Sd,
1864, "to provide national currency Sc
cured by pledge of United States bonds,
and to provide for the circulation and re-
demption thereof'-being the foundation
of our whole national banking system de-
clares that the centre amount of notes for
circulation" to be issued by the several ma
tional banks "shall not exceed three hun
dred millions of dollars" In explanation
or limitation thereof, the twenty-first sec
ton OF the same act-as il was amended
and made to read at the next session of
Congress-provdes that one-half of these
circulating notes. that is one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars, shall be appor-
toned to associations national banks
formed in the several states, territories and
district of Columbia, according to the
representative population" In other
words, one-half of the authorized national
bank capital and circulation, and the banks
themselves, are to be distributed to the diff
fcrent states in proportion to the number
OF their legal voters, no matter whether
they are engaged in class of business re-
quring banking facilities or not. To be
sure, they are not required to establish
banks, purchase and deposit securities, and
receive currency therefor, but if they do
not, 50 much less money will be in cir
culatiOn, as it will not, because it can not.
he distributed to the other states Without
considering, now, the provisions for the
distribution OF the remaining half of the
circulating notes authorized to be issued,
1t is proper to say that in 1870, an addition
al "fifty four millions in notes for circula-
ton "cic authorized 10 be issued, the dis
rlbutlon OF which has not yet been COM
pleted, and will not be prior to the meet
ing OF Congress. This additional amount,
II we can understand the object, intent and
meaning Of the law by which il was author
ized' IS to equalize the amount of currency
between the different states and territories
according to their representative popu-
lation,' The reason of an existing in
equality will be apparent when il Is re.
"N''iNu that Ut tHc Tune OF the enact
ment of the law of June 3D., 1sG4-which
was, in TACT, n revision or codfication of
all the then existing laws on the subject
several national banks had been established
for number of years and were still doing
business. The national banking system
was one of the outgrowths of the rebellion.
having been adopted with the double pur.
pose of afiording market for United
States bonds and currency for the people.
The entire south being in rebellion, no Ger.
tain provision could be made by which.
when peace was restored, proportion of
banking capital and bank bills, based upon
population could be assured to them, and
hence the additional ffty-four million as
an aid thereto. Without considering this
part of the act any further, may we not
ask whether of itself, 1t does not furnish
an unanswerable argument in favor of a
free banking system9 II Vermont can use
the circulation apportioned to those who
have no idea Of its wants or use, should we
