1t is denied by the representatives of the
railroad companies that their recent conven-
ton at Saratoga was held for the purpose of
combining against the Changers, or any other
interest. They say that the object was SIMPLY
the development of their respective roads,
and their abolition of the system of undercut-
ting and litigation, which has proved SO ex-

An important conference of railroad repre-
sentatives has recently been held at Saratoga,
VI WlASu Luc NEW L OTk 4FtOHIt6z says. = IQp
railroad conference at Saratoga was called,
like the one which recently held its sessions
here, for the ostensible purpose of making
combinations to facilitate transportation and
establish uniform freight and passenger rates.
The report of the proceedings viii indicate to
many that the roads really combined to resist
what they look for as the Forthcoming en-
croachments of the Western Grangers.n
The following are the rates for freight
transportation agreed to by the leading rail-
road companies at their recent convention at
Saratoga. 1t is stated that these rates will be
rigidly adhered to, except probably in the
cases of few large shippers. No rebates or
drawbacks will be allowed. Passenger rates
have not been changed:

had to rise. We have not room
to describe it. The papers have
been full oft, and everybody has
read about it. But we will ven.
ture to say that immense and in,
calculable harm will result from
that insane movement. Harm
not only to the cause of true tenn
peranee, but to.the honor and res
pect that men instinctively pay to
woman in her proper sphere. But
let it be remembered that the
women who were the leaders in
that movement, were not the best
women Of our country. Not the
women who adorn home with
those beautiful and hallowed as
sociations that cluster around the
domestic hearth! Not the women
who bear children and train them
up to become useful citizens and
an honor to their country and
blessings to society With a few
honorable exceptions, they were
women who made home hell!
Who have been sclamerous for
years, for an enlarged sphere"
who call men brutes. and quarrel
with the Almighty because they
are not men! A miserable set of
dissatisfied wives. and donble-
jOinted, square-toed, dried up,
cantankerOns old maids, who
have lost their attractions if they
ever had any. These unsexed
creatures, witha few .pecked
and emasculated men, are the
authors of that insane and bias
phemous movement. God forbid
that we should oppose the cause
of temperance in the true accept
alton Of the term. And God for
bid that we should disparage the
name of woman. We love wom-
man. We consider her at once
the greatest blessing and the
greatest curse on earth. There is
nothing on earth SO beautiful,
pure and holy as woman in the,
sphere of a happy home-in the
holy relations Of mother, wife,
and daughter! A bad and un:
natural woman, who is not salts
fed with her sex is the greatest
curse that God ever permitted to
afiict the earth. We've had our

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

and its terrible result. Mrs.

character, and who has for years

been living in Las Cruces during
the last, winter with her friends.
Her only child, a beautiful girl of

Mrs. NUM- hired a man. from
Chihuahua WHO was up here, to

place. At Guadalupe, some
twenty miles below Ell .Pasa, this
fend committed the most horrid
outrage upon the child. Seized
with despair the mother plunged
a dagger into the heart of her
beautiful daughter and then in.

STILL THEY COME.

BY the Citizen of last Saturday,
we are informed that VIM. H.
Hardy, of Mohave Co., has ''con-
fcluded to submit his name to the
people as a candidate for Delegate
to Congress" Submit is good. The
old played-out fossil. of political
ambition can prepare to submit"
to a glorious defeat. Nobody who
knows him, except VIM. H. Har-
dy, thinks that he has any quail
fications whatever for the position
except ignorance, impudence, as
.surance, stupidity and sore-head-
edness. The people don't want
his services. The Citizen also
says, "Col. Bigelow writes that
l.. A, Stevens, of Prescott, is a
candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress." We know l.. A. Stevens.
He is a good citizen, a good farm
er, and a good man, but we ale
sorry he has entered for this race,
as he has no show to win, having
no qualifications whatever for the
position. We know of other as
pirants, who we will soon name.
Go in and get fieecpd., AS the
Citizen trlIfhfully remarks, = one
of the great American privileges
is to run for Congress-" =.

CASTLE DOME.

From Castle Dome mines we
have the encouraging news that
water has been discovered in a
central and most desirable locali-
ty. Heretofore the water used
in those mines had to be hauled
from the river, a, distance of 25 or
80 miles, except what little was
found in tanks. in the rocks,
which was not enough for drink
ing purposes. A few days since
the Chilson Brothers, after hav.
ing sunk some Is or 80 feet struck
water in considerable volume.
There is not enough water. yet to
warrant parties rushing in there
with a large number of stock, but
there is enough for present pur-
poses and the indications are
that abundance will yet be found.
This is a great and valuable dis
cOvery in the midst of those rich
mines, and the Chilson Brothers
are entitled to great credit, for
their pluck and perseverance, in
demonstrating the fact that water
can be found there by digging,
The miners are all happy and
satisfied with their prospects, and
"a large amount of very rich ore
is being taken out.

We have no special news from
these mines this week. Passing
travellers say that the miners are
doing well, and that both in this
District and on the other side of
