WHETHER prudent or imprudent, we are not prepared to say, but it is certain that now when our citizens want to go from one settlement or part of the Territory to another, they do not wait as formerly for 8 large company or an escort of any kind, but go right along when ready.

SONORA MATTERS.

Governor Pesqueira has recently been reelected Governor of Sonora without any organized opposition. Other State officers and legislature were elected, and also three members to the national Congress. The Gov ernor is friend to railway enterprises, as we understand are at least two thirds of the members elect of the legislature, and also two of the three members of Congress.
 It will be remembered that the late legislature of Sonora made liberal and satisfactory concessions to an English company for the construction of a railway from Guaymas to Ari- zona by the principal towns of Sonora, and that the Mexican Congress was urged to approve the grants or con- sessions of lands; but to the great re- gret of those most interested, Con- gress adjourned without either aP- proving or disapproviDg them. We are informed that the recent election gives renewed evidence that the peo- ple of Sonora want a railroad and that they are willing to literally aid in it's construction; also gives hope that the general government may be induced to sanction the States action. With an executive, legislature and two of the three representatives Tn Congress in favor of such aid as will insure railway, it is thought Con- gress will yield to the popular wish. If the general government of Mexico desires the presence of men of means and enterprising ability sufficient to impart new life into the country, it must promote railway building, for railways are now essential forerunners of marked development and the pro jection of great enterprises.

PABLA COSTELLO was lodged in jail on Thursday morning on the charge of hay ing, on the previous evening, cut and stabbed one of her associate "soiled "doyes" known as the "One-eyed Apa- "che," in dance house on the Church Plaza. Owing to the Apache's injuries from which she may not recover, no ex- animation of the case was had up to yes terday. Pabla used a dirk knife. She cut the Apache's face and run the knife into her right side, and from appearances it penetrated her lungs. It is thought that "a man" was the cause of the un- pleasantness, and probably very pretty man at that.
 Constable Miller informed us late last evening that the Apache will quite surely recover; thinks her lungs were not cut and that the case will be legally examined next Monday.
