Col. Hughes deny be is disqualified for the
Goyernorship of Virginia by reason of de-
livering q challenge in the case cited. He
acted as moderator instead of bearing q
challenge. Moreover, while the provision
of the constitution of Virginia applies to the
principal sending or accepting a challenge
outside of the State, it does not apply to the
one delivering the challenge unless delivered
in the State.
The Election I'm Washington.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The Capital,
which has heretofore been one OF the
strongest defenders of the District govern
ment, to-day prints the following Il regard
to the late election: "As was the foregone
conclusion, the recent election has been in
favor OF the candidates who support the
District government in prosecuting their
system of improvements. One Democrat
and several parties who defed the lash of
the Central Republican Committee have
been elected. There was more personal feel
ing evidenced in this campaign than ever
before at any ele :tion in this District, and
the only reasonable solution of this matter
is that there are several aspirsnts for the
seat of Gen. Chapman in Congress, who
have endeavored TO bring to bear their
whole strength in the coming confess. The
Radicals walked over the course, no oppo-
sition having been offered by the Democrats
or Liberals, except in two or three districts.
The attendance at the polls was light, and,
what was lsmentably noticeable, the busi-
ness men-the solid men of the city-never
cast ballot; that is to say, a great majority Of
them. The workhouse was ransacked in the
interestof certain candidates, aud inmates
were brought up to the city in ambulances,
at the government expense, with the admoni-
ton, "If you vote all right, you can come
back here for free board" 1t may be that
all this was eminently proper, but it seems
to reasonable mind that Warden Crocker
might just as well have turned out his pris-
oDers and marched them to the polls to de-
posit their bsllots. However, the election
| is over, aud we don't believe that the Legis-
lature elect Is one whit better than the
| Legislature defunct.n

Spain Again.

The demands of our Government upon Spain-published in the Miner of yesterday may seem harsh, to some folk. But when we come to look at the enorniity of Spain's latest offense, against this nation, we are free to confess that we "cannot look at the matter in that light" Individual murdercrs are, in almost all countries, sacrificed, in one way and another. Why, then, should a murderous nation be permitted to shield itself from just punishment behind international law7 This, Spain is now aching to do, and this, our Gov ernment should not permit her to do.
 Always lawless power; always cruel, arro- gant and vindictive, she cannot now under stand why an enlightened world will not permit her to revive the horrors of the In- quisition; the old wholesale massacres and robberies which marked her westward course and followed her on her retreat to her own narrow confines, after God had pitied her col onists in America and given them their free dom.
 Her acquiescence in our demands cannot restore the lives of the poor wretches who recently sailed on the Virginius; nor would it cause her to cease torturing the Cubans No, justice and the voice of humanity must guide our Government in this matter, and nc cant about International law should preyen, 1 our saving the Cuban lamb from being de youred by the Spanish lioa. ....-:..

OUR TELEGRAPH.-The San Diego Union gives, in an article of more than two col umns, complete review of the construction of the military telegraph from San Diego to the principal military posts and towns in Arizona.
 As we have given our readers, from time to time the history of its progress from its first inception to the end, we will only say now, that the appropriation for the line was made February 2l, 1873, and the entire line was in operation December 2d-s distance of more than 500 miles.
 The use of the telegraph is open to citi zens at established rates, which are very reasonable, and the great advantages to business men are already being appreciated

Government Roads.

Under a, Congressional appropriation, It. Morrison of the U. S. Engineer corps, has surveyed the route for road from Santa Fe to Taos, New Mexico, and adyertises for miners and blasters in the New Mexican. We are glad to know that Government is bnild- ing roads anywhere in the Territories which will serve the public needs but while we appreciate all that is done elsewhere, we do not forget that no appropriations have ever been made for roads in Arizona, though our necessities have been urgent and our peti- tions to Congress frequent
 An appropriation of Sl0,000 for a road over the mountains from Prescott to Kirk land Valley, properly expended, would save its cost in freight to Government, in supply. ing Fort Whipple, Camp Verde, and Verde reservation, in two years.
 There are other places in the Territory where small expenditure would give great results in saving of time and travel Ger Crook has improved the road from Fort Whipple to Camp Verde, solely for military purposes, which is the only expenditur, made on roads in Arizona that is of much public benefit; yet the Colorado peopl, grumble, and think that Territory is tn, most neglected of all by Government in tha

Mining Items.

We notice in the Los Angeles papers and in the San Bernardino Guardian, frequent allusions to mining affairs in Ivanpah and New York districts, and latterly new dis trict known s the Twenty Palms, or Palm City. Ores from those mining camps have been shipped to San Francisco and sold with satisfactory results, and the Guardian chronicles the fact of the arrival, Nov. 2l, of a load of fine silver ore from Iyanpah, brought in by Horace Clark; also the fact that Palen & Winchester, who have been erecting a quartz mill in New York district, have com menced crushing ore. They are working . large vein, ore from which has sold in San Francisco for 40 per ton, and they have all reasonable prospects of success.
 This is all good news for us. IVanpah and New York districts are just across the Colo. rado river from our rich mines in Wallapai district. Palm City district is on the road from San Bernardino to Ehrenberg. Success ful mining operations in these sections will bring population, capital, and enterprising men in their train, and all will cross over tC Arizona in course of time. The waves of civi lization and progress are dashng against ouI borders on three sides-from the north, eas, and west A little more patient work anc waiting and our reward will be certain and satisfactory.

Indian Items.

The Washington Chronicle intimateS very plainly that the Indian Department is get ting its eyes open . little, and declares that fear, as we'll as food, Is necessary to control the red men, and Government is determined to treat them with all reasonable kindness, and at the same time compel them to be law abiding citizens. This decision may have been influenced by the notable failure of the peace policy in many instances during the past year.
 santanta and Big Tree, year ago or so, were captured, after A career of unusual strocitv, and imprisoned in Texas, where the people had right to expect that they would be punished as their misdeeds deserv- ed {; but some months ago peace commis- sioner promised them that they should be set free, and the promise was accomplished q few weeks ago, and Big Tree made a big speech, stating their good intentions and re- pentance fer past actions but iu thirty days afterwards he and his band, (the Kiowas), went on raid, killing, burning, and destroy ing all before them in the old style, which does not suit the Texans, though they are used to it. It is mortifying and aggravating to the public and should be to the Indian department and the superior officers of the Government, that when such wretches are captured, they should be turned loose again free to resume their hellish practices and tc cause renewed expense to the nation. It is likely to cost . million or more dollars to reduce Santant, and Big Tree to subjectior again.

A MlIrAAY RAILRoAD.-It is truly grati- flying to all who look ahead and, with a pro- phetic eye, discern the greatness of our g!o- rious country, to see constantly recurring in the public press the plans and schemes of daring and practical minds for our advance ment. Sach an article, or rather two such. are found in the San Diego World of Nov. IA, advocating the establishment of San Diego N free port for the entry of all arti- cles which of necessity enter into the con sumption of the miner in Southern Califor- mia and Arizona and urging as supplement tsry to the military telegraph, that Congress should authorize the building of military railroad from San Diego to Yuma. The ar gumentSused are sound, and any one at all eonversant with the varied, rich resources of the southwestern corner of Uncle Sams do- main, can see that the immense addition to public andprivate property that would ensue from the adoption and completion of these projects, shows that they are proper and feasible.
 TIE SPANISH QUEsrIos.-The unanimity of the leading journals of the Eastern States in denouncine the insulting and outrageous acts Of Spain towards the United States is sur prising. The New York Herald, Tribune, Times, World, Post, Advertiser, and the prin- epai papers m the other large cities, declare that nothing but the most ample apology and rsparation should prevent the United States from at once taking steps to protect the rights of our citizens on sea and land from invasion and outrage hereafter and if taking possession ofCuba is necessary to maintain that position, Government should be sustained by the people in that action.
 The'New York Central Republican Com. mittee, November 24th, adopted set of reso- iutions expressing similar sentiments to those above mentioned, and confidence in the de- termination of the Administration to uphold the national honor in the matter.
 From the Mining Life (N. NJ and Fl Pasc (Texssl Sentinel, Il appears that emigranti are coming to the rich yslles of the upper Gils and its tributaries, in Eastern Arizona Letters from Ohio state that there will be nc lack Of emigration to Southern Arizona ant New Mexico the coming year.
