WEEKLY ARIZONA MINER: PRESCOTT, JANUARY 4.1873
THE SEVENTH LEGISLATURES.


 Bv Az Act of the Legislature, approved Fcbru. my 13. 1871, the Seventh Legislative Assembly ot this Territory Is Co Assemble at Tucson--the Cap ital of this Terrltory--on Monday Dext. Fly Act Of Congress, approved February 2t 1883. the Legislature oi our Territory cons's,s of Conn. ell Of Dipc members, and House of Representa-. lives Of eighteen members. We believe there ia law Uf Congress limiting T sessiou to forty days, and, Of course, the session will not exceed this timc The pay allowed members of inc Icgisia, turr. by the Federal Government, is thrce dollars per day, in currency. sum that will not much more than pay the board aDd lodging of a uieip. Der al the cheapest hotci In the Territory. This being the case we find that the members of last Legislature voted themselves aud their principal officers s3 more Per dicn, out of the Territorial l Treasury and vc suppose that tho present. lcgis- ature will do likewise. Here, then, is work for our Delegate ip Congress, and we hope he will bc l successful in getting Government to allow our Legislators sufficient pay to enable them to de. | fray expenses, while working for tbeir constiiu. cnts and in pressing his points hc ought not to forget the fact that, by law, our Legislature now meets tni crce in every two years whereas, when the S3 law was passed, they met once every year. | We have, from time to time, during tue past year, called attention to such changes In old laws as would Ice bepcfcl, well as to matters upon which legislation might not be wholly throw il away but, presumiug that the Governor, la Lis message, will rciteratc some oi our recommends. tions, we will not now rcasseft apythinr VIE have said.
 Regarding the location of the capital, VIC have to say that lt Is not now in the proper place. yet If all parties are agreed It might be for ihe beet Co let u remain where it Is a while longer, To citizens wbo arc dissatisfied with existing county boundaries, we wish to say, "koep cool = walt little longer, until you somewhat strong. CT and better able to support county govern
 Dcnt.
 On the Indian Question we desire to sec the Legislature set themselves, their constituents and our military protectors right before Congress aud the Country. Wy desire, also to see the Legislature expose the hypocrisy Of the Postmaster-ieneral,o ar who- ever it Is that has denied propc" postal facilities And, lastly, We wish to sec the brave officers and men or the U. S. Army, who have suffered. while endeayoring to protect from bartsarous sayages, remembered in the proceedings of the Honorable body representing the citizens of Ari. zona.
