the slightest unkind feeling, knowing right
well the intense disappointment Of my Pennsyl

so royalty, and so freely that can well imagine
low they have received this saddening intelli-

vitation to other nations. The action of the
House refusing three millions to the Centen-

President Grant Is an honorable man and the
American Congress is an honorable body, and
cannot believe that they Will rest here and
allow their pledges and their greetings to
other Governments to remain unnoticed and
unfulhlled. As the case stands the joint reso-

The object of this bill is to relieve Congress of large portion of its special legislation. It diff fers from Senator Stewards bill to provide for general railroad laws in the Territories by excluding all provisions affecting the financial management of the roads, and provides only for right of way and sta tiOns.

LOCAL MATTERS.
District Court Matters.

District court convened in regular Ses-
 sion last Monday, on which day Terri
 torial grand jury was impanneied. The jury completed it's labors on Tuesday, pre-
 senting the following written report: We have examined into the various cases brought before us and have found | three true bills, one for murder, one for re- | ceiving stolen property and one for false | imprisonment. Three cases have also been | examined, bills in which have been ignOr- | ed.
 | We have investigated the condition of | the various county offices, and the man.
 ner in which the incumbents thereof per l form their duties and keep their respective l books and accounts, and have to report l that we find the officers generally faithful l and diligent in the discharge of their dU- l ties, and careful and attentive in the keep | ing Of their books and accounts. The county building requires some slight repairs which we recommend the board of supervisors to have done. The county | hospital has been visited, found in very
 creditable condition, containing two pa | tents who express themselves as satisfied
 with the treatment bestowed on them.
 The county jail has been examined, found | 10 be cleanly kept and the wants Of the | prisoners well supplied.
 | The necessity for some provision for the | preservation of the county records and 1 their being secured against destruction by l Ire has been brought 10 our aJtGnDOn. W c have 10 renew the recommendation here-
 tOfOre made that vault be erected by the l board of supervisors Of sufficient capacity | to contain the records.
 1 It has been brought to our notice that some lack Of minuteneSS in charging fees
 in eases adiudicated in minor courts has ! occurred, giving rise to some dissatisfac- l ton, without evidencing any more serious grounds for complaint. We would rec IOmmend that greater eXactitude be adopt
 ed by magistrates in this particular. A considerable portion of the revenue Of the county is lost to ii by the nOn-enfOrce-
 ment of the penalties for nOn-payment of | poll tax. The provisions of the law are to
 our mind sufficiently fOrcible to give the proper officers power to compel payment, and it behOOves those 10 whom this duty is chargeable to carry them into effect. | We would recommend that the board of supervisors take measures to have board floor put in the court house, and that gen. erally the accommodations for juries be increased. l.. M. JACOBS, Foreman. X U. s. grand jury was impanneled and
 on the 5th made a final report having found one indictment-fOr selling liquor to Indians, we understand.
 During the early part of the week, J. W. Clark and Briggs Goodrich were admitted to practice law in this court.
 On the 4th, the trial jury was dismissed
 until next Monday. The court was not in
 session yesterday.

THE talk of the week has been mostly upon bids for government contracts Every year the losing bidders with others "cant see how" the winning ones will succeed and come out even or make cent; but our observation is that none have failed to get through some way without serious ditfi- culty so far as the public know. Whether the country will survive the low bids of this year or not will be known to cer- tainty year hence-if not sooner. In any event, scolding bidders and weeping over their low offers, will neither change the fixed facts nor prevent lower bids next year.

WE have letter from Major Brown at Camp Grant of date 2d. He says: There have been all manner Of reports about In dians and have sent in many places men to find out the truth. but there is not a single fact that would be willing to have you publish or that I could Vouch for. It is too soon to hear anything from the scouts now out. Everybody sees Indians but have been unable to find their trail when l send to hunt it up. I think it well cortS to trains going to san Carlos or Camp Apache. We are bound to whip or kill these Indians eventually.

To the Democracy of Arizona.

HNHE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF
 \ the Seventh Legislative Assent ply of Arizona Territory, held a meeting on the 10th day of February, 1873, at Tucson, for the purpose Of taking the iniatOry steps for the organization of the Democratic party of this Territory; at which meeting, among other things, they appointed Ter ritorial Central Committee and fixed the first Monday in May, 1874, as the time and PheniX as the place for hOldidg the first Democratic Territorial Convention, and at the same time appointed me chairman of said committee.
 Within the past few weeks 1 have been urged by Democrats from the various Counties of the Territory, as Chairman of said Committee, to address the Democracy of the Territory, calling their attention to the action of the Democratic members of the Seventh Legislative Assembly as afore- said.
 It would be the duty of the Territorial Central Committee to meet and fix the representation, to which each of the sev- eral counties would be entitled in the Ter ritOrial Convention, but for the basis fixed by said meeting at Tucson in forming the Territorial Central Committee. Said Com mittee was formed by giving to Pima county, members; Yavapai, members; MaricOpa, members; Yuma, members, and MOhave, 3 members. This seems to me to be so nearly equal and just that have thought proper to advise that the
 
 great inconvenience in cOnvening the Gen. tral Committed accept it as the basis Of re presentation in May next.
 As a member of the Democratic party, desirOus of it's organization, l would urge upon the Democracy Of the various cOun- | ties the duty and necessity of prompt ac- ton in this regard. The time for the meet | ing of the Territorial Convention in May next is fast approaching and it behOOves us ii we would thoroughly organize, to see { at our respective Counties take such steps as will secure the attendance of delegates in said Convention. 1 see no good reason why the delegates to the May | Convention, may not be selected, either by the County Committee Of the respect i've counties, or by County Convention, as may best suit the Democracy of the par | ticular county.
 In conclusion permit me to say, believe the time to be most prOpitiOus for Organf ZatiOn and that with organization success is almost certain; without it we can effect nothing. That organization is essential l to the success of the party, is a proposition so palpable that no argument need be ad- duced to support it.
 l Fellow Democrats: Let us work har- mOniouSly for the success of the party and the good of the country. Let no local prejudice divide us. Let us select our best men without reference to their particular locality. Let us select good and true men devoted to the best interests of the Terri l tory men whose interests are with us, and who are of us, and we will be ENTI- TILED to succeed and WILL succeed. JOHN A. RUSH, l Chairman Democratic Cen. Con-, A. T. February 2I, 1874. 2O-3w

THE snow blockade on the overland railway ought to induce Congress to dis obey the howl for economy by the dema- gogic newspapers, and grant the well-se- cured aid sought for the Texas and Pacific railway But a Congress once cOwed by the press, is not body from which we may expect wise use of power and means.

PETER KITCHEN has choice lot of hams and bacon and potatoes in town. They are the products of his own farm, and are just what every farmer should produce more or less of-but never less than enough for himself and family if he have one. If farmers ever become independent, they must produce more of their own wants OF their land and purchase less at the stores. We can name a number of farmers who sometimes talk Of hard times but rarely say they are pressed for money to pay debts,
