THE CAPITAL.-CHANGE OF.

During the past week, kilograms
have been flying between Tucson
and Yuma, on the subject of NOV.
ing the Capital from Tucson to
Preacott-or elsewhere.
1t would appear that the Yuma
delegation hold the balance of
power in the Legislature, and
they have been in grave doubt as
to their duty in the premises.
Tucson offers to bring all their
freight through Yuma, if Yuma
will hold the Capital where it is
Yavapai offers to give Yuma the
Penitentiary, and any appropria-
ton which attaches to it, if the
Capital can be placed on wheels
for Prescott.
Now, so far as Tucson freight
coming through Yuma, is con-
cerned, it does not amount to the
value of a dish of sour beans.
Every business man in Tucson
knows that he will go where the
cheapest turn on transportation
can be made, east, south or west.
No combination can be expected
to alter this condition Of things,
and it's a question utterly void of
meat. So far as Prescott is con-
cerned, on a similar proposition,
the conditions are Identical. Yu-
ma is not Indebted to Pima in any
wagon the contrary, the Capt.
tai has been retained at Tucson
for the past four years, through
the efforts of the Yuma delega-
ton, during that period. True,
Tucson promised their freight,
but they took four fifths of it
through Guaymas, in which trans
action they not only injured Yu-
ma, but the Territory, for the
reason that all the expenditures
on account of their freight accrued
to Mexico, and not to us. Conse-
quently, if Yavapai be enabled to
first secure in the hands of Yuma
what they propose, there is no
good reason why Yuma should
not accept it, and vote with them.
On the other hand, if Pima can
do anything equal, or better, (al-
ways promising that promises are
not good), then go with Pima;
and, if neither Yavapai or Pima
are enabled TO accomplish any
good for this county, let the Ca
pital remain where it is on gener-
al principles.
Each one of the counties are en-
gagged in procuring for themselves
all the good that they can, and
there is no earthly reason why
Yuma should not do the same,
particularly as they occupy a po-
sition to demand and receive more
than either of the others. We
don't want the Capital, but we do
want anything that will create
the expenditure of money among
our people, and,are not at all par
ticular which of the two great
of the Territory pays for
it.
Considering this question in the
light of fairness, it must be borne
IN mind that the town of Yuma
is not the whole OF Yuma county.
The upper portion of the county
has a recognized political status
equal to this end, as shown by
the election returns, and as mat
ter of course, are entitled to a
hearing in this discussion. Their
interest would induce them to
go for Prescott without any con-
sideration whatever, but if the
county at large gains the oppor-
tunity to expend an important
amount of money in public build
ings, the chance is fairly open for

No NEWS BY TELEGRAPH We
hope our readers will understand
that the lack of our regular tele-
graphic dispatches in this issue
is not our fault. The wires are
down in every direction, The
unprecedented heavy fall of rain,
both in California and Arizona,
has, it is believed, caused this
trouble, by washing away the
support to the poles. Our active
and energetic operator at this point
Sergt. Boutelle, Is doing all in his
power to get the lines In working
order. He has men out to find
the breaks in the lines and re-
pair the difficulty, and as the
storm has ceased, we expect to
very soon be In full Geographic
communication again with the
world. A little patience just now
will not be out of place.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

barism toward civilization, this
has been the admonition Of all
good men. For this they have
worked and prayed, and many
good people have had faith that
the time would come, foretOld by
the prophet of old, when there
would be universal peace /; when
swords would be beaten into
plow-shares and spears into prun-
ing hooks, and the nations should
learn war no more" Toward
that glorious contamination the
world is tending. With what
feelings of horror does the stu.
dent Of history review the crimes
and enormities Of the past ages !!
How the heart sickenS when read
ing OF the cruelties and outrages
committed in the name of justice
and even in the name of God and
religion! The world has indeed
made rapid strides toward justice
and right and truth. which are
the foundation of all true peace.
The time has passed away when
might was right, when the strong
er could Cypress the weaker sim
ply because be had the power and
inclination to do so. Even great
and powerful nations, who not
long ago would resort to bloody
and devastating wars on the
smallest preteXt, are now settling
difficulties and misunderstand-
ings of great magnitude by
the peaceful process of arbitra-
ton.
Thank God for this spirit Of
peace, that seems to be lowering
over the earth. All good people
fervently pray that the time may
soon come when wrong and out
rage will be no more known on the
earth. But to have perfect peace,
to have security of life and pro-
perry andsno lawlessness abroad
in the land, to do away with the
necessity of criminal courts and
the restraining power Of the law,
we must not depend on great ma
tional authorizations and the dis
banding of hostile armies. If we
desire to destroy the tree that
bears the fruit of crimes, out rage
and turmoil, we must begin at
the root. Every community has
yet its proportion OF the lawless
and degraded, men who set at
defiance every principle of right,
and truth and law, and who are
at open war with the tendency of
the age to universal peace and
good will. These men are the
bane Of society. They are the
rocks that obstruct the car of
human progress, ard while they
exist, criminal laws and criminal
courts are necessary.
We are not of those who believe
that the people who inhabit
frontier country are necessarily
wicked, lawless and depraved.
A long residence on the frontier
has taught us better than that.
We have resided in Arizona for
many years and we must bear our
candid testimony to the fact that
the people are generally law add
ing and opposed to outrage and
villiany. We will go further, and
say of the people of Yuma. as we
said years ago of the people of Pres
colt, that we never knew COM
munity where there was SO little
crime in proportion to the popu-
Iation. The best governed Puri-
tanical New England Village can
not show as good a record for
good order and absence of crime
as we can. The proportion Of the
IawIess and desperately wicked
is indeed very small here. We
are proud to be able to say this,
for it speaks well for our civiliza-
ton, and we know that some peo-
pie in old communities will read |
this; people vino have been in

SOCIAL PARTY.

The ball given at the Court
House last Thursday night was
one Of those pleasant and enjOya-
BILE affairs, for which Yuma is so
celebrated. The attendance Of
both ladies and gentlemen was
very large, and everything pass
ed off in the most harmonious
manner. That friendly and So
cial spirit that seems to pervade
the society of Yuma on all such
occasions, where the participants
seek not only their own enjoy
ment, but endeayor by every
means to promote the happiness
of each other, was very apparent.
We have spoken before Of this Pc
culiar feature of the parties held
in Yuma. While the most strict
propriety observed by refined sos
ciety everywhere, Is maintained,
there is an entire absence of all
conventional restraint and of all
selfishness. Those who make up
these parties seem to find their
highest pleasure in promoting the
enjoyment of others. Parties con.
Quoted on such principles, tend
to aid the march Of civilization
and refinement, and make the
people wiser, better and happier

The Result of the Election.

The election yes s'iay was one of the
hottest contests ever witnessed in this
city at municipal election. Both par
Ties quietly prepared for the battle. and
there was more order and more deter
mined energy eyinced than at any other
time. The vote was tremendous-beins
zoos more than at the last May prs elec-
tion three years ago. The fact that so
Large vote was drawn out proves the
high estimate which our citizens hold of
the candidates. We are satisfied that
no candidates could have been rpn by
oar party that would have received q
larger vote. Col. WHITEIky's vote shows
that he ran SO far ahead Of his ticket as
to be elected over his competitor while
beth the other Democratic candidates
OF the city ticket were defeated. Mr.
VALENTINE received vote Of which tie
may well be proud although defeated
We are candid when We say we believe
no other man could have been nominated
on the other side who would have carried
more votes against Mr.. WHI1aLEz.
We regret the defeat Of oar candidate
Cor President OF the City Council, Mr.
PosT1Es, but our ohagr.n is modified il
the fact that re believe MIR. LIcHrEN-
STEIN will perform the duties IN fai-
and honorable wGy, and that he will en-
deavor not only to do justice hut have an
eye single to the best interests Of the city.
Public interest dictated change If the
oGcs Of City Treasurer, and Mr.. MsIa.
TIRE ought to hare been elected. He ia
defeated By onlJ IL votes. Could the il.
legal negro votes he ascertaired and
thrown cut be would have majority of
ct least hundred. Z the 5th, etn, 7th,
sth aui 9Th wards, where tee Reputli-
cans have full control Of the polls, the
number Of illegal negro votes is 7ery
heavy.
