TIE death of Vice President Henry Will son in our telegrapbic columns will be rcad with feelings of regret by all good people everywhere. It is seldom that man lives and dies whose whole life has been so nearly faultless. Henry Wilson began life as a shoemaker and by dint of talent industry and purity of purpose arose to the highest honor the people could confer upon him save one and had his health been spared it is not at-all uu- likely that he would have attained even to that. Henry B. Anthony, of Rhode Island, was chosen President of the Senate pro tempore on the 18th of February, 1875, and as we can find no subsequent record of election to that office we presume he succeeds to the position made vacant by the death of the Vice Pres ident

-PLAcERs oS THE SANTA MARIA.-Quite
 an excitement has sprung up within . week or So as to tke discovery by some Mexcans of Placer Mines near the Santa Maria. some twenty-six miles beyond Wm. Gilson's place, on the road to Greenwood City on the Sandy. From the best information we can get from Judge Kelsey, Wm. Gilson and Chas B. Genung, who have seen and talked with the Mexicans, the mines are some four miles from water, consequently dry washing is the only process employed thus far in separating the gold from the dirt. Charley Beach and wife were at Date Creek last week and were shown a nugget estimated to be worth about s 80, but Mir. Genung informs us that he weighed it at his place after it was brought in ehere and it weighed between fifty and sixty dol lars. He was also shown some thirty odd dollars which the Mexican said came from three pans of dirt. It is further reported that the same parties exhibited some nine pounds of gold at Wickenburg. Several parties left here os Tuesday to investigate for themselves with view te mining there sn winter if it shall prove to be good enough te justify them.

 The National R. K. Convention was called to order at the appointed hour by Col. James o. Broadhead, the chairman of the Execu- tive Committee. The Rev. Dr. W. G. Elliot offered prayer. after which. the Con- vention was assembled, and he then stated somewhat in detail the objects of the Con- vention. He said that delegates were here from ? States and Territories, and that the Convention was composed of men of science, engineers, farmers, mechanics, merchants men of intelligence and enterprise, and thoroughly representative of the various interests of their respective communities. He referred in glowing terms to the fact that these men were here from every section of the country in the interests of peace and l to promote the welfare of the whole Union. | He described the country through which the proposed line is to run, and drew a compari- | ion between that and the Northern route quite favorable to the Southern line

A chance for Uncle Sam to get even on his Mexican purchase presents itself right here in Prescott. One of our principal mine owners offers to- pay back to the Uni ted States the 40 or 50 millions, if the said U. S. will make him deed to the Sauta Eulalis mine, twenty miles from the City of Chiahuaha; and prominent merchant has expressed willingness to go on his bond for the payment of the amount. This is be- lieved to be the richest and most extensive mine in the world, except the Peck, Occi- dent and Prince.

A PROMPT OFFIcER.-On Friday morning last Probate Judge Cartier, who is ex-officio County Superintendent of Schools, received a letter from Verde, requesting his assistance and advice in forming new school district in Verde Valley, and on the same evening the Judge was on the ground, forty five miles from his office. The next day he rode over the settlement notifying the inhabitants that public meeting would be held at Johnson < Maxwell's in the evening. The people turned out to the meeting, . district was organized and Abraham Kootz, W. NJ. Fain and R. c. Campbell recommended for ap- pointment as trustees. At the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors the matter will be acted upon and no doubt school will soon be started in Verde Valley with a respectable number of pupils. The parties petitioning for the new district are Jonathan Foster. Josiah Roberts, Johnson & Maxwell, James 5. Barney, R. c. Campbell, w. M. Fain, Alb. raham NJ. Kootz, NJ. Burch, J. Wood. J.

MR' CLARK, an operator in the signal ser vice, who was sent to this place last Spring with view to establishing an office in town relieves Mr. Kearney as operator at Fort Whipple. Mir. Clark has been repairing lines for some months between here and Florence and between Maricops Wells and Tucson.
 He will have harder task here than ms : ually falls to the lot of operators and if be fills the bill to the satisfaction of those con- cerned he will deserve much praise. To take Kearney's place and do as we'll as he did will be no easy job, no matter who undertakes it. The collator of news at the California end of the line often seems to exercise no iudp- ment at all about what is or what is not in- teresting matter to send over the wires, con- sequently we are compelled to publish great deal of trash and often fail to get in- portant items ofnews until the arrival of the papers, but the office here has always done its duty, and we have faith to believe it will continue to do so under the new regime.

The same old story Of southern outrage,

of Mr.. Schurz and others, showing how the
Republican party had set all constitutional

From present appearances this Louisiana

are at least ten or fifteen senator's already
prepared to speak upon it. Logan has the
floor for tomorrow, and 1t may be expected
that he will magnify every dispute ever

Senator Thurman Squelches West, Of
Louisiana.

| In the United States Senate on Monday
Mr.. West said here, in the city of Wash
ington, yesterday direct proposition had
been made for the assassination of the Presi-
dent. He then sent to the desk to be read
an article from the Washington Capital, Of
yesterday DOM Piatt's paper, commenting
on the statement that ambiguous threats OF
assassinating the President and General
| Sheridan had been made, and saying that the
men sitting safely in their arm.chars inst-
eating civil war might find it necessary to
protect their own worthless lives in Wash
ington. MIR. West also had read communi-
cation in the New York Tribune, signed j..
II. a., concluding with the intimation that
| if the President intends to play Caesar he may
find his Brutus. Mr.. West then said there
was an atmosphere Of assassination not only
in Washington, but in the great metropolis
of the country, and he asked if any senator
would approve of it.
Mr.. Thurman said he always laughed when
Bombastes Furioso was stamping around.
AS to Dom Piat's paper, he supposed Dom
Piatt could take care Of himself next Sum-
day. He said it was an impertinence and an
insult 10 ask any senator on this floor whether
he approved of assassination. The Ameri-
can people were not people who approved
of assassination, and this attempt to get up
here cry that assassination was in the air
was the ARREST bubble that ever found lodg-
ment in an empty head. [Great applanse.l
