Answer to Correspondents.

The Colorado River valley is un-
 dOubtedly one of the healthiest
 regions in the world-at least in
 the United States. There being no levers or other disea4es incl dent to the climate, and the ali mosphere being extremely pure and dry, pulmonary complaints are unknown. The temperature being mild and regular, not sub- .ject to sudden changes, people re- siding here are not affected with colds, and like ills, that torment those who reside in more variable climates Although the people have not stuck out their shingie, and set up in the sanitarium bu- siness, there $ no doubt but what Arizona City would far Outstrip San Diego, Santa Barbara, or any of the other much-lauded health resorts in this particular,
 From September to June, the temperature and climate in the neigh borhood of Fort Yuma and Arizona City is unsurpa; sed. We give below a meteorological record for the month of December, 1872, which was published in the SEN TINEL of the 4th ult., so that our correspondents may form an idea of our ccldest weather: "Average for every day during the month: : o'clock a. m., 4S.25; 7 o'clock ?. m., 67.65; 9,o'clock p. h., 5I23. Maximum, ,6S. 2S; minimum. 45.04. Mean for 24 hours, 57.17. On the 3d and 4th of December, the ther- mometer rose to 79'; on the nights of the 18th and 2Oth of December, the thermometer fell to 38'. ."

 They, for the first time, seemed l to realize that it was not the gen erous thing to take all of the at tach ees belonging to both houses from amongst their own counter jumpers, and when enough of these could not be found to take .heir county officials, to the. eX- clusion of worthy persons from other parts of the Territory. The Pima delegation is terribly exer- cised over the condition of matters as they now appear. The Capital to be removed, the formation of a new county out of the Gila Settle ments, to be called Pinal county. the loss of the Gila Bend settle ment to MaricOpa county, all tend to make the future power of Pima look deminutive. and her pros- poets gloomy. Wickenburg is to be cut from Yavapai and given to Maricopa county, at least these are the several propositions to be made through the several bills in the prospective. An outsider, though without interest in any question before the Assembly, ,can- not help feeling sympathy for poor Pima. After looking over her past representive strength, and then to take view Of her present weakness of representation, an entire want of polite action is ob- l servable in her every movement.

LETTER FROM TUCSON.
'TUCsON, Jan. 30, 1873.

volNing in mind the transaetiolls
 of this Legislature from its organ
 ization till now, it has just occur
 red to me that a concise relation of how matters have been maH
 aged here might be of some in- terest to you, as seen from an out side standpoint. Upon the first att
 tempt to an. organization, it was ascertained u that Pima county,
 without regard to the former re- lations that has ever existed and
 had been fostered between Pims and Yuma counties, had deter mined to have everything, her own way. Not evena Page was conceded te Yuma, though this was all she asked. Upon this small matter the whole organiza-. tion turned, and was the cause real of the choice of the Speaker being chosen from Maricopa cOun- ty. Pima deserted her old friends and went over to the enemy, at least if not real enemies, the strongest jealousies have been felt between Yavapai and Pima ever since the removal of the capital to Tucson-amounting almost to an tipathy. But this year they join ed hands and made friends, de- termined to 'demOlish her former friends. Nothing proposed com ing from Yuma or Mohave coun- ties would do. All this appeared in the organization of the Council. When too late, Pima discovered that she had been too decidedly unjust and tried to make amends in the organization of the lower house. Thus she succeeded in taking the fever out of the wound, but not healing it. Yuma quiet ly submitted to all the anreason- ableness of the action of Pima un- til this week, when "patience ceased to be a virtue," and she be- came hostile. Knowing how to get even, combination was form ed, and yesterday morning the removal of the Capital to Phoenix was sprung upon the Council, and by suspension of the rules the bill went through its several read ings without amendment, and has gone to the lower house.

thew acted. In most cases this had nothing to
do with the matter. Thel leaders in the Nor
mon Church and in that apostolic Ring which
controls the property acquired by the
toll of the faithful, have been able
to collect as many so-called wives
as they please. not because of their religious
standing, but because they are men OF reia-
tive wealth and influence. OF course, after
these unfortunate creatures are once caught
and Gagged they soon find that they have chosen
q miserable lot. Marriage of one with one Is
the law of nature as well as of civilized soci-
ETY.. These plural wives are never long In
finding that they have sold themselves for TOO
cheap a price. Nothing Obliges them to re-
main in that wretehed and debasing relation
where their voluntary act has placed them.
They can declare themselves free any day, and
the law will protect them in it. 1t is not only
their privilege but their duty also to break
the revolving chain which weighs upon them
They are even assisted by the law in punish
ing the guilty partners of their fault. They can
prosecute their titular husbands for bigamy
But they have no right to assume the dignity OF
outraged wives, and to attempt legal black
mail upon their paramours. The system is

men who founded and who sustain it should
be made answerable for it. But their concu-
bnes have no right to drape themselves in the
costume OF honest women, to make money out
of it.
This is only another form of the everlasting
tendency of the race, to try to avoid, each
one, the consequences of his own sin. There
are few people who, in repenting, do not try
to make the repentance profitable. There are
very few who manfully take off their jackets
to receive the due chastisement. 1t is not in
the just economy of nature or of heaven that
sin, even when repented of, shall be as If it
never was. When people have committed a
great crime or great mistake they must pay
for it. A man who has lived dishonest life
cannot free himself from the trail Of its con-
sequences by merely resolving to be honest in
future. woman who has sinned against faith
and purity can never repent 80 deeply that
the stain Of the early sin shall leave her soul.
The purer her after life, the more poignant
her recollections will be. These hundreds OF
unhappy women in Utah have made grew
GUS mistake, some with better, some with
worse motives. They should struggle out of
their mre as fast as they can. But they for
felt sympathy by trying to pick the pockets of
their paramOurs as they fly.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

INST when it is safe to call nation most
prosperous it is difficult to tell. 1t seems to
us. however, that the outlook for business in
the United States Is more favorable than it
was four months ago. Speculation has sub.
mitted to q check, and good deal of indebt-
edness, foreign and domestic, has been liqui-
dated. The New-York banks are stronger
than they we're year ago. and there is a
prospect that the pressure on them and the
consequent stringency in the money market
will not be so great as it was in the Fan OIL
1872. The prices Of speculative stocks have
generally fallen, and the Wall Street gamblers
follow their game with less ardor The Ala
bama indemnity of S15,500,0O0 is to be paid in
September, when $2O.0Oo,OO0 in gold will be
paid out of the Treasury In redemption OF
bonds. At no time of the year could such
disbursement be made with moro salutary
effect.
We do not attach very much importance
to the change which has taken place in the
relation of our exports 20 our imports as an
indication of future prosperity. We have
been exporting vast quantities of breadstuffs
and provisions to Europe, but we have been
selling them at low prices. Tie farmers have
reaped no great profits, and the consequence
is that the agricultural interests are depressed.
The embarrassment of 80 numerous and i'm
portant a body as the farmers has, in the
natural course of things, communicated
itself TO other classes. In this general
decline of business. We have the true

women. She had enough to cat and enough
to wear, but that was all. Every outward
politeness and kindness were shown her, but
there was not look nor word which did
not teach her that she was old-fashioned--in
the way. Her day was over. When the frst
grandchild came, how proud and elated she
was how her blood warmed again, and her
poor hands trembled as she held them out.
If she could hold the little thing to her withered
breast it seemed to her she could be yonug
again, and fancy 1t was her own first
born lying there. But her daughter-her
-born-would not trust the babe to her
old-fashioned ways. 1t was to be brought up
scientifically. She laughed at the WOODEN
socks and queer little barricOats she had been
making for it for months. So in everything.
Music in the family was passion they studied
it as artists. When the poor old woman
joined her cracked voice in the choruses she
saw a covert smile on the face Of every grand
child. 1t never occurred to them that concerts
or operas could give the dull soul rare
pleasure yet untasted IN her life.
That is all the story: she is dead now. Some
of us who have laid our hands on dead face

made it when living, if we had but chosen.

SCIENCE AND LITERATURE IN A DAILY
-- PAPER.

PAPER.
The great change which has recently taken
place in our prominent institutions of learn
ing by which scientific studies take equal rank
with the classics, received its earliest and for
many years its most forcible impulse, from the
editorial pen of the founder of The TRIBUNE.
A new and widely extended class of studies
and professorships has thus been created; and
for those whose interests are in these novel
branches of education the great variety OF SCI
entifc intelligence of late provided IN THB
TRIBUNE has peculiar and exceptional value.
This and cognate classes OF literature are,
however, at the present time OF deep interest
to all officers, professors, and students IN lnsu-
tutions of learning and to the friends OF edu-
cation in general, as well as to other readers
Of cultured tastes. Without neglecting in the
slightest degree its principal function as
a purveyOr of news, The TRIBUNE has
succeeded in adding a department of
theoretical and practical science far in advance
of the most ambitious attempts of any other
daily publication. Its complete illustrated
reports of the Lectures of Prof. Tyndall on
Light, and of Prof. Agassiz on the Method OF
Creation; its story of Prof. Marsh's Iemarka-
BILE discoveries in the Rocky Mountains; its
reproduction of the American Institute course,
of the Cooper Union course, and of John
Weiss's lectures on Shakespeare, have not
only met the wants of strictly scientific
readers, but have created q deep inter-
est in scientific subjects among the miscel-
laneous public. In the preparation OF Its re-
ports of the proceedings of learned bodies,
narratives of exploration, and summaries OF
scientific intelligence, it has been fortunate
enough TO secure the services of eminent
scholars, among whom may be mentioned ex-
President Hill of Harvard, Prof ID. G. Gilman
of Yale (now President of the University Of
California;, Prof. L. L. Youmans, Prof.
W. D. Whitney of Yale, Prof d. S.
Martin of Rutgers Female College,
Prof Daniel KirkwOod, the Astronomer OF
Indiana State University; Prof. Burt G. Wilder
of Cornell, the late Prof. J. W. Foster of
Chicago University, and Prof. Spencer +. Baird
of the Smithsonian Institute.
The high character of THR TRIBUNE's lit
erary and art criticism has long been gen.
orally appreciated. Its foreign correspondents
give close attention to the progress of every
branch of culture in Europe, and its home
correspondents are zealously performing a
similar duty at every point of interest through
out the country. Its literary news is earlier
and more complete than that of any other
journal.
Finally, the conductors of TIE TRIBUNE
endeavor to give their paper tone of refine
ment, sincerity, and dignity, which BELTS
journal written for educated and thoughtful
men; and they are persuaded that in their
ambition to raise the standard of journalism,
and purge their profession of certain abuses
which have too often brought it into discredit,
they will have the good wishes and cordial
support of every American scholar.

Whenever there is chance to profit by it,
your small demagogue, whether in Office or in
a newspaper, is very ready to stir up sectarian
prejudices and quarrels which it takes the pro-
tracted efforts of our most judiciOus men to
compose again. The furry about the Roman
Catholics and our schools is a case in point.
Demagogues on either side are doing their best
to make capital out of it, and are entirely reckless
as to whether, between them, the Common
School system fall to the ground OF not. The
Commissioners, however. seem-judging from
the accounts on the 9Th page, from our Re-
porters-to have gratifying comprehension of
the essential point, vis: Sectarian influences, of
whatever kind, must be absolutely excluded, or
the schools receive their death-blowl We do
not believe the demagogues can keep the pub
lie from backing the Commissioners in that
raonlva.
