KSoTs of business men were seen and heard by us this morning discussing the action, or, rather, non action of the acting chief quarter master of this military department, who, they stated, had, for a week past, instructions to draw checks on the Depository at Tucson, m payment of accounts due citizens of this Ter ritory by the War Department, but who, in- stead of having done so, pleaded want oi time, clerks, etc, thus batfing our business people and adding to the monetary pressure now prevailing, mainly on account Of the failure on the part of Government disbursing officers to sct squarely with Arizonans who have credited the Government. We yester- day said sufficient to show the injustice of withholding this money for months after it should lave been paid out; also, the great wrong of forcing contractors and others to take depreciated paper on the U. $. Deposi- tory at Tucson, instead of grcenbacks or drafts on the U. s. Sub-Trcasurer at San Francisco, and we now assert that, were any business firm here or elsewhere to pursue 2 business course similar to that which Govern ment has pursued here, said house would be tabooed and pronounced dishonorable. The quartermaster's department here is said to have to its credit at Tucson something like $lG0,000, which is due our citizens, some of whom think 1t would be no more than fair | for Gen Crook to send a trusty person and escort for said money, and,' upon its arrival here place it in one of those huge safes at Headquarters, in charge of one of the several bonded officers of the Department. But, Il this cannot be conveniently done, those who are clamoring for their money want their checks right away in such amounts as will enable them to pay small debts, and not | in large amounts, such as they say, the acting Q.

Mid vernal bowers and scented flowers,
And trout in plenty 10 be caught there

Keep wide awake he must who'd take
These troutlings shy, all golden gleam-

Like sounds from home, from linen dome,
AS sure as I'm a hungry sinner,
Sweet ministering spirits come,
And now frying fish for dinner

IT is reported that Congress will ad
journ aboutthe goth of June. We are
unable to discover that it makes any
material difference, so far as legislation
is concerned, when it adjourns. We
hope the Senate will pass Gen. Rusk $
bill allowing county newspapers free
transit in counties where they are pub.
lishea, so as to free the people from any
further taxation in this direction. As
for land grant extensions, currency in
fatIou, contractions, or any thing OF
that kind, we think they may as well
go over to furnish subjects for dispute
at the next session.

u. -. Senator.

That there will be lively contest n
this state this fall over the question Of
who shall be our next Senator in Con.
gress, need no longer be doubted. The
Milwaukee Sentinel, the State Gazette,
aud some other prominent papers, have
already espoused :he cause Of Matt
Carpenter The State Journal, In
Crosse Leacler, aud several others.
though more reserved, are evidently in
sympathy with Gov. Washburn.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are jubilaut over the prospect, Of that
Wisconsin Railroad King, Alexander
Mitchell. The total rout of the Re.
publican forces in this state, at the last
election, gave fresh courage to the OLD
line Democrats, and they are now con
ilent Of success under almost any cir
cumstlnces. Tlo Republicans, though
beaten. are not dsheartenel much
less dismaycd: and, since the struggle
10 the coming c9mp1ign is sure to be
one Of life or death with them, it is safe
TO predict that the battle will be fought
with unusual vigor. How far the So.
called Reform element will enter into
the contest, we are unable to predic',
but we incline to the belief that 1t will
be nearly a stand-0f What earthly
hope they can have in Mr.. Mitchell, is
more than we can divine. While on
the other hand, 1t seems to US to be
quite impossible for them to support
Mr.. Carpenter with his we'll known
salary grabbing propensites, and other
extravagant aud impracticable notions.
Neither do we see any peculiar attrac-
tions for the Reformers in the selfish ar
rogant Ex-Governor, though he is
doubtless, the safest man of the three.
In our opinion, the only way for the
Republicans to carry the state, is to
drop both Carpenter and Washburn,
both in the election campaign, and 10
the election Of Senator. Rest assured
that a triangular fight will be fatal
since there are host Of Of voters 10 the
state who will support neither Carpen-
ter or Washburn under any circum-
stan ces Such, at least, is our opinion,
and We need to turn back but a single leaf
in our political history for authority in
support of it If political leaders at
Washington, Madison, Milwaukee, or
at any other strong point IN the state
or nation. still persist in their attempts
to dictate to the people whom they may,

evitabe, and we care not how quickly
the crisis comes. Do not tell rs then
from "head quarters" that we must
support any particular man, or be

has 70 longer any terror to the "sover.
