THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 3, 1874.
Closer Mail Connections at Florence
 and PheniX.

Different men ot intelligence and per
 sonal observation of the facts, have call
 ed our attention to the detentions of the
 mails at Phenix and Florence. We are
 informed that formerly THE CITIZEN
 reached McDowell on Monday after pub
 lication and now it gets there on Friday,
 and that there is like delay In all matter going north and all coming south. There is no doubt of this fact. We are receIv- ing considerable mail over all the routes, and that coming from north and north west of Florence, reaches here nearly a week later than it should and often the matter that should come in several mails, gets here in one, and the dates sometimes cover a period of ten days. At Phenix, we are informed that by want of proper connection of the Wickenburg and Flor ence line with the PheniX and McDowell line, the mail both ways lies there two days; and for the same reason, the mail from the north and south connecting with the northern route at Florence, lies at Florence from two to three days.
 We often listen to complaints about oc
 casional mail irregularities but say noth- ing, for the reason that with the best of endeavors, carriers of malls as well as managers of private business, cannot or do not always succeed as they desire, and due allowance should therefore be made for some failures; but the detentions now complained of seem to be the rule and not the exception, and there is no suffi- cient excuse for them. We are informed by reliable and observant men that close connections could be made at Florence and Phenix without an extra expense of one penny to any of the carriers concern ed. It is not sufficient to plead that the mails are carried twice week as per co n tract, when the manner of doing it causes such positive and long detentions of the peoples mails, and therefore injury to their business.
 We believe there are three contractors on these lines, and none of them would, if in other occupations, like to have their business matter so delayed. They can and should come to an arrangement by which close connections at Phenix and Florence will be made. They, as we say, can do it without a penny of extra ex- pense, hence no excuse for not doing it.

WE have often been asked who are en- titled to the public lands because of ser vice in the army. A circular just receiv- cd from Col. Geo. W. Dyer, of Washing ton, who has long been connected with Department business, gives these named persons, and no doubt a number of peo- pie in Arizona are within the list:
 All commissioned and non-commission- ed officers, musicians and privates, wagon masters, teamsters, seamen, ordinary sea- men, marines, clerks, and landsmen in the service of the United States in any of the wars since 17J0, and prior to the Sd of march, 1855, or in the revolutionary war, who served for fourteen days, or were in actual battle, are entitled to land, if they have not heretofore received 160 acres; or, if any of them were mustered into the service of the United States, and were honorably discharged in consequence of disability in the service before the eXpira tion of their time, if they only served one day, they are entitled to land. The widows, or children who were minors on the Sd day of March, 1S55,. of such of ficers, soldiers, etc. are entitled to land.

The Exhibition in 1876.

The following is from The Press, of Philadelphia, of September 8. We give it to show the progress of the grand Ex- hibition and particularly the importance of early applications for space in the buildings:
 Following in the wake of the leading South American governments, Peru has signified her acceptance of the invitation, extended through Minister Thomas, to participate in the Centennial, and has ap- pointed a board of commissioners to CO., operate with those appointed by our own government in arranging for the disposi- tion of Peruvian exhibits, With the ac- cession of Peru, we have now secured the representation of every American gov ernment of any consequence at our great fair. and even without a single art icle from the Old Word, the Exposition would be a grand success. Bearing in mind the vast quantities of goods which will pour into the Centennial grounds from all parts of the globe during the months preceding the formal opening, and the amount of red d-tape which must of necessity be used to bring order out of this prospective chaos, it will be apparent that every person who intends exhibiting should make application at the earliest possible moment for the amount of space which he will require; and this not only to secure the proper classification and dis position of the article exhibited, but also to the end that the commissioners may be enabled to keep well ahead of their work and may be spared the mortified tion of getting things tangled up at the last moment. The lesson taught us by the mismanagement at Vienna must not be forgotten, and no eXertion must be spared to prevent tue opening of our Ex- position from being marred by a dis graceful confusion like that which pre- vailed at the Austrian capital. We re- peat, let every one who intends exhibit ing make arrangements for procuring space without further delay.
