Citizens of Arizona, the whole
fight, the whole object of Stevens
opponents has now simmered
down to this one single purpose,
which is not Of giving you a good
delegate to represent you in Con-
gress, but simply to defeat Ste
vens. This is all the fight now,
what the results are to the Terri
tory, whether veal or woe, is
immaterial to them.
This is the programme now, of
course it has not yet been public

whispered about, and next Tues

adopted.

intelligence of the people of A I'll

the defeat of Arizona and h er
best interests. What other can

fairly and squarely represent and
work for the interests Of the
Territory. He is not a Tucson
man, and knows no section, no
party, no north, no south. His
home is Arizona, his party is her

Of faith full servant to his master.

LETTER FROM FLORENCE.

The following interesting letter
was received last Saturday just af
ter the SENTINEL was struck Off:
FLORENCE, A, T. Oct. II, 1874.
To the Editor Of the ArizOn0 Sen
tineI.
DEAR SIR:
G. T. Hayden, of Phoenix, has
announced himself for Congress.
People here, say Mr.. Hayden is a
very good man to put down the
price Of barley but not for Dele
gate. However, he probably will
be elected. as it is thought that
he may succeed in carrying the
Tempe ditch. But let us analyze
his circular letter little and see
what it contains. First, he says:
"He that would not work should not eat "
Your theory is very good, Mr..
Hayden, but your practice is d--n
bad. The ranchers work hard
the whole year to raise a crop
then you take it from them at a
cent a fb or even less to pay for
some old goods which you sold
them at 4 or prices, realizing
about $50 per cent profit, And
this YOU call '1etting the working
man live" Now, I ask, who has
done more to dppress the farmers
of Arizona and make them poor
and keep them so, than Charles
Trumbull Hayden? Who has
taken barley contracts from the
at a lower figure?
Who has paid the farmer less for
his barley? Who has charged |
him more for goods? Again, he |
says, "MilliOns," for something, |
1on't know what, "and nothing
for the establishment Of any species
IF commercial monopoly" What
Ices he call commercial monOpO-
y? If the gentleman will tell
ne, l will tell him what CONNER
,idL robbery is. Mr.. Hayden, will
not effect the main issue but very
title. What few votes he may
ret will be drawn from Smith, and
hus, he will help Stevens.
We are working with all our
night for the purpose Of securing
new county at the next Legisla-
ure. Phoenix and Tucson are
'bucking," against it, and it will
necessarily be a hard fight, but
We hope to win.
Daguerra's train is here loading
With barley, part goes to Yuma
nd the rest to Camp Grant.
ROmaldO Corta'S train of wa
ons also takes grain from here to :
amp Grant. Politics is little ,
weller than usual. Candidates
)r different offices both at Phe.
tx and Tucson, have been here
very day for the last 8 or ten
avs, and more are coming. q

LOCAL MATTERS.

A press of important political
matter has crowded out our tele-
grams this week.
Los Angeles daily herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1873-1876, 1874-01-20

A correspondent in another column
criticises the bill now before the Legis-
lature, for the regulation of fares and
frelghts on our railroads, and an ex-
animation does show an exceedingly
liberal schedule, when compared with
the rates that eastern law-givers are
disposed to allow, and while they are
some lower than the rates actually
charged by the roads, it is still doubt
full whether our commerce can afford
to pay them. s..
This is a delicate and intricate ques-
ton to NEEDLE with, and will require
the careful study and discussion Of
more than one Legislature, before an
entirely satisfactory act is framed. 1t
must be remembered that we in Cal
ifornia have our railroads in the main,
yet to build, and cannot afford to fight
or cripple them, but on the other hand
should do all in our power to encour-
age and stimulate the building of,
roads on legitimate principles. We
should be careful, however, not to al
low railroad combinations to take
practical control of the State, and die
tate to the people the terms on which
their business shall be transacted. We
have allowed the railroads to go far
enough in gaining the ascendency
over us, hut are not so badly off as
Illinois and some other States that
have granted special privileges till 1t
is doubtful whether the people or the
corporations control the State, and it
is the part Of wisdom to shape legisla-
ton so that there shall be no question
of the power Of the State to supervise
andregulate these public carriers. Just
to what extent 1t is practicable to fix
rates for existing lines, it is impossible
to decide without further information,
and we hope that before any further
action is taken our Legislators will
take pains to inform themselves more
fully. We want law that will bene-
fit the people and not cripple the roads.
We want one too, that will stand the
test of judicial criticism, and not as in
the case of the Illinois law, be found
in the course of two or three years to
be nullity. n6fa Ma s#ses
Congress has also taken the matter
in hand and shows disposition to re-
gulate business that passes from one
State to another, and it is desirable
that the enactments passed by it, and
by the different States should be
harmonious. The National Commission
proposed may be made the means Of
promoting this needed unity of action,
and careless and hasty legislation
should be avoided, at least till the
principles of action be well developed.

The Rebel Archives.

No more inexcusable act has been
perpetrated by the present Admins
tration than the purchase with gov
ernment funds of the so-called rebel
archives, and the holding of them in
reserve for political purposes. Ifthese
archives were proper articles of pur-
chase, they should be open to public
inspection, or better, ought to have
been published, but the holding of
them over the heads of political oppo-
nents, is an unworthy use of such an
advantage, and misuse of the peo-
ple's money. II there were traitors in
our midst during the civil war, they
should have been exposed as soon as
the proof came into the hands Of the
government officials. The holding of
these proofs till convenient season,
and then permitting their use in po-
litical and personal warfare, by parties
interested in the questions at issue,
and therefore likely to garble or alter
them, smacks too much of the despot-
ism of Louis Napoleon, and should
not be allowed in Republican gov
ernment. In Cushing's case, friend
ly letter of introduction containing no
reasonable sentiments, was so dis
torted by the hand Of personal and
partisan malice, that the confirmation
of one of our ablest men has been de-
feated. There is nothing in the let
ter itself to indicate that Cushing
held any sentiments about the rebel
lion, different from these expressed by
Lincoln and Seward, and if the letter
had been given to the public, at the
time 1t came into the possession of the
government, and in the exact words
of the text, 1t would have caused no
prrticular excitement, and would have
been forgotten. Kept in secret how
ever, and manipulated by the hands
of his enemies. it has served to des-
troy the chance Of confirming the
only decent nomination for Chief JUS
tIce chat is likely to be made. In this
case it was one Of the Presidents
friends that has been damaged, and in
the revolutions that political matters
have undergone, it is impossible to
tell where the beginning Of exposure
Is going to strike. This reduces their
use, as now held, to serve personal
ends. We want no such element in
our national politics. The govern
ment should either publish all the
documents, or destroy them, and have
an end Of piece-meal and distorted ex-
posture.
