VIM. ANDERSON, arrived in Yuma, from Canada, last Wednes- day. morning. MT. Anderson is a member of the Mckenzie Min ing company, in. this district back of Castle Dome, and left here for Canada several months ago, to see the old folks, at home. He carried with him some beautiful specimens from the mine of the company, in which the gold stuck out ir wires as large as a knitting needle. We saw these specimens ourself. He says the sight of these specimens made the eyes of the Canadians stick out about a feet. MT. Anderson has come back to stay, and says he don't want to go away any more. He brought his aged mother, who is an inval- i'd, as far as California, where he left her, comfortably provided for. That's the way the boys come back. And it is no wonder that young men of enterprise should do so. Arizona is the jumping off place The last of Uncle Sam's Territories, and is bonnd to be one of the richest states. She says to the ever restless and wandering pioneer,

WE have received from the Hon. R. c. Mccormick the follow. ing copy of 8 Bill heretofore no- ticed in the SENTINEL, and which finally passed the Senate, just at close of the session and was ap- proved by the President. Thirty thousand dollars was the sum that MT. Mccormick asked in the original Bill, but Congress, with it's usual stinginess to the Territo- ries, cut it down one half. The trouble is, the Territories are not flush enough to be represented in the lo66y with the stuff to see Con- gressmen; hence a venal Con- gress cares very little about the Territories. Mournful reflection. that an American Congress is de- graded to this pitch. But unfor- tunately, it is too true. However "half a loaf is better than no bread: :"

PERMANENT SETTLERS.

That is the class of people that
 Arizona wants now above all
 things-people who come to stay,
 who desire to make permanent
 homes in the Territory, and are
 willing to devote their whole energies to assist in developing its resources. In. the early settle ment of the Territory, nobody eX- pected to stay, all came as they did in the early settlement of Ga lifOrnia, in hopes of soon filling their sacks with the precious me- tals and then returning to their old hOmes, their to spend their days in ease and luxury. We all know how small proportion of the early emigrantS realized these golden expectations. But though batf1ed in their hopes of becoming suddenly rich, they saw mines of ineXhauStable wealth, in which the precious metals were wrap, ped up in quartz, which it would require machinery and capital to release. They saw more than this. They discovered rich val leys of farming land and the most magnificent pasturage ever seen.
 A few of the faint hearted left the Territory, but many remain ed, and while most of them have secured interest in valuable mines, knowing that they will ultimately come out all right, they turned their attention to other pursuits, such as farming. fruit culture and stock raising. And now after having endured the calamities of a long, protracted and merciless Indian war; now that peace has come, these hardy pioneers don't feel like leaving. but are establish ing permanent homes. Many young men and maidens have married in the Territory, (and some not so young either) and young ArizOnans are continually making their advent on this nun. dane sphere, in Arizona. Scores of American citizens have been born here, and the climate is so healthy that very few of them die. Thus our permanent popu- lation is increasing. And now that the war is over, men are coming from other States and other lands and bringing their families and their household gods, with a view to permanent. settle ment. This is what Arizona wants.
 The floating population, those birds of passage, who are here to- day and gone tomorrow, who are only intent on suddenly acquired wealth, never did and never will do anything toward the develop ment and prosperity of any coun- try. It is the solid settlers, par ticularly those who bring their wives and sons and daughters with them. For besides the in terest they have in the growth and prosperity of the Territory, such settlers are deeply interested in establishing and maintaining civilization, refinement and mo- rality.

BY RAIL To MEXICO.

1t seems probable that the ratifca-
ton Of the contract made by the Gov
eminent Of Mexico with Mr.. Edward
Lee Plumb will lead to active move
ments in that direction very soon. The
terms of the contract require that all
surveys of the line between the banks
of the Rio Grande to the city of Leon,
in the State of Guanajuato, shall be
completed within two and a half years
from the passage of the act of ratifea-
ton, and work on the road bed itself
must be commenced within three
years.
An English company obtained a
grant and entered into a like contract
with the Mexican government similar
to that made with the International
Company last year, for the construction
of a railway from the City of Mexico
to Leon, and the work of surveying the
line has already commenced.
The surveys of the international
Company from the Rio Grande to Leon
will be under the direction of Col Nor
ley, favorably known from his long con-
nection with the st. Louis and Iron
Mountain railroad as Chief Engineer.
The st. Louis Republican states that he
is about organizing of a party for an
early reconnaissance for the proposed
route.

usages. Without impeaching the earn
estness and intelligence of our Mem
phis friends, we fear they are wanting
in political tact. We say this
freely, for their own sakes, because
failure on their part may strengthen the
very evils against which they contend.
In politics, civic as vel as State or
Federal, a blunder is often a crime.
The change of government they pro-
pose is unpopular in itself, and the
modes adopted by them to bring it
about-a s15,OOO,OOO Protective Union,
a Merchants Protective Association,
and a Landlords Protective Union,
are not calculated to make it less so.
The alternative of a Receivership is
more in consonance with our laws and
usages, and if things haze reached a
crisis requiring it, Memphis may profit
from the course taken by Nashville a
few years since under similar circum-
stances.

THE BURNING OF COLUMBIA.
sherman GIOrying i'm His Ow

Shame.
Many Of the people thought that this
fire was deliberately planned and ex-
ecuted. This is not true. 1t was ac-
cidentsl, and In my judgment began
with the cotton which Gen. Hampton's
men had set fire to on leaving the city
whether by his order or not is not ma
terial), which fire was partially SUBJ
dued early in the day by our men; but
when night came, the high wind famed
it again into full blaze, carried it
against the frame houses, which caught
like finder, and soon spread beyond
control. In my official re-
port of this conhagration l distinctly
charged 1t to Gen. Wade Hampton,
and confess did 50 pointedly to shake
the faith of his people IN him, for he
was In my opinion a braggart, and
professed to be the special champion of
South Carolina.-ShermaR's Memoirs.
The above is the most damnable and
damnIng confession ever made by any
man wearing the uniform of a soldier
and if Sherman be not crazy-with
which our charity would willingly
mantle his lsins-he is certainly infa-
nous. After admitting that he point

ing the reputation of an officer and
gentleman-we think villainy can 90

self, and he revels in the glory Of his
own shame.-RichmOnd Enquirer.

WHEAT PROSPECTS IN THE
WEGT

There has never, perhaps, been a
year in which more, if ever there has
been 50 much, anxiety manifested to
learn the condition and probable yield
of the cereal crops-especially wheat.
This is natural in all years, but particu-
larly so in the present, by reason of
what has appeared to be the unusual
unfavorableness of the planting and
growing season. In the West especially
this interest has been unceasing, and
has led to unusual efforts by the press
of the West to collect all possible In
formation thereon. After innumerGble
contradictory reports, it has at last
become pretty well established that,
Notwithstanding the +. severity of the
winter, and the absence Of snow within
the line of the winter wheat crops, the
wet and late spring, the damage IN
aicted by grasshoppers, and other evil
things, the prospect of grand wheat
crop for harvest is pretty well insured.

WHAT DIRECT TRADE HAS DONE
IN GEORGIA.
Griffin Star and CultivatOr.

The agent of the Direct Trade Union
at this place received returns from the
cotton of different parties during last
week, and, after deducting every ex-
pense, this cotton, which was shipped
IN different lots, has melted the parties
from IS to Sl2 per bale over and above
what the cotton would have brought In
Griffin on the day of shipment More
than this, the parties at the time of
shipment drew three-fourths of the
Griffin value of the cotton, and have
had the use of this money during the
entire interval Had they deposited it
In Griffin warehouse and kept it until
the day it was s0ld in Liverpool, they
would, Instead of making, have lost
several dollars per bale. Now, had the
$4,000 bales that have been brought to
Griffin during the past season been
shipped to Liverpool through the same
channel, the farmers in this section
would have made a gain of at least
Sl50,000. On the entire crop of the
country the same operation would have
saved ;he South twenty-five or thirty
millions of dollars.

PLJEDERING THE COTTON PLAN
TIERS

Cotton planters and interior cotton
buyers have, for many years, had griev.
GUS cause of complaint OF the losses
susta ned in the weight of cotton ship.
ments to the various large markets,
and each year the losses seem to in
crease, Notwithstanding some efforts
have occasionally been made to lessen
them. Cotton bales from the time Of
their arrival in a city are subjected to
pillage by classers, samplers, laborers
and rag-pickers, which stealage
amounts in the aggregate to an enor-
nous amount. The"city crop" in New
Orleans is estimated at 10000 bales,
which consists largely of loose cotton
secured in carrying and handling the
crop IN that city. Included in this es-
innate is the quantity of cotton sent in
from near by sections to be ginned and
baled in the city which cannot in the
nature of things be of much magni.
tude. In New York the same state of
affairs exists as to steaiage IN cotton
handling and sampling, and in fact
matters are equally bad in all the prin-
cipal cotton centers in the country.
The subject should attract the serious
attention of our cotton factors to the
end that some plan may be devised by
which the immense annual loss to
which cotton growers are subjected
from this cause may be prevented. 1t
is but Just to Nashville handlers of the
staple to say that we hear no complaints
against them on this score, but their
interest certainly lies in aiding to put
a stop to the reprehensible practice.

PULLMAN'S sLEEPERS IN THE
SOUTH.


The atlanta Constitution has been
giving George NJ. Pullman some pretty
had digs for his orders to conductors
70 admit negroes to his sleeping cars
on equa. terms with white men. Judge
Lochrane, who was lobbying here, at
the last session of tay Legislature, in
the sleeping car interest, has recently
attempted to defend Pullman and ex-
plain away his order. The CoHstitu-
ton, replying to his card, says: Zone
Of Pullman's official It's is sufficient
to show what kind of man he is. Long
before any negro thought of applying
for berths by virtue of the Civil Rights
or any other act, he issued a pass IN
peculiarly broad terms to a South Car
DINA negro by the name of CardOzo.
The fact that the recipient was aleader
in the Moses crowd Of plundeTers does
not, we opine, alter the case to a great
extent. This pass directed the conduc-
tors of the Pullman cars 20 grant the
bearer equal facilities and privileges in
the sleeping cars with any other good
citizen 1t was signed by Mr.. George
NJ. Pullman himself, and delivered to
]. N. Cardozo, Who was and is a very
bad negro. Tie date of the pass was
about April, 1873. twas an annual
pass. 1t was good wherever there was
a Pullman car. Cardozo tried to reach
Atlanta on it. It's subsequent history
is in our possession, and if Judge
Lochrane thinks these facts are imagi-
nary, we will take pleasure in present
ing the whole story of this offensive
and needlessly insulting act of Presi-
dert Geo. N. Pullman to our readers"

A RATHER important bill has been
introduced into the British Parlia-

such as strikes, on the part of laborers,
criminal offences. 1t is proposed to
confne this severe legislation to cases
where the supply of articles necessary
to the public, ike water and gas, is af-
fected. The sole argument adduced is
that, as few laborers have any property
to be reached by civil process, criminal
proceedings are the only resource for
