Vote Upon the Capital Question.

Z
Following are the proceedings
as reported in the Citizen Of Jan.
Both :,
Twenty-ffth day, Jan. 27-In
the Council. Mr.. Davis intro
duced a bill locating Capital of
Arizona at Yuma city, which was
passed under suspension of the
rules, by the ayes of Messrs. Camp
bell, Davis, Hargrave, RedOndO,
Stevens and ZeckendOrf, and the
nays of Messrs. Brady, Delong and
Mr.. President. Motion to recon
slider the vote was laid on the ia
BILE. Adjourned to 2 p. m.
Twenty-sixth day, Jan. 2Sth-
In the House. Council bill TO To-
cate capital at Yuma came up,
and on the several motions to in
definitely postpone, to lay on the
table, and for third reading, the
vote stood 9 to 9 viz: Ayes,
Messrs. Drachman, Elias, Gold
berg, Griffin, Kelley, MOntgOm-
cry, Purdy, Hickman and Stew.
ems. Nays. Messrs. Bashford,
Brooke, Head, Moeller. Curry, o.
Neil, Richards, Wood and Mr..
Speaker. Adjourned.
The above action requires no
comment. 1t explains itself. The
people of Yuma never asked the
location of the capital here, but
when by unanimous vote, the
delegations from Yavapai Mari
copa and MOhave counties ask
Yuma to accept it, the delegation
from Yuma vote to Q man to de-
feat the measure. The deiega-
, ton from Yuma, in the House O
Representatives of the Legisla-
ture of Arizona, in the session of
1875, have covered themselves
with eternal infamy! Let it be
recorded.

THE CAPITAL.
Tucson, Yuma, or ANY Other Place

The Citizen Of the 30th ultimO,
gives the proceedings had in the
legislature on the capital question.
In the Council there were seven
affirmative votes in favor of Yu-
ma, not as an amendment, but
original text of the bill. Among
this number was "Pima's smart.
est member" Mr.. Zeckendorf,
who voted "aye," in order to
bridge over a precedent for what
he knew would OCCUR when the
bill went into the House, that is,
E'votin@ against the hest interests
/ Of your own county" lie knew
how Yuma stood ia the House
and it was quite likely that the
delegation required stifening on
this point. So ne votes "aye -
on the proposition, when if FIRST
appeared in the Council. The
following day he asked "leave I"
to change his vote, and it now
stands recorded permanently in
the negative; all which, so far
as he is concerned, is correct, and
he can Ego to the head"
Now, when the bill comes up
in the House, the entire delega-
tons from Yavapai, Maricopa, and
MOhave, stand in its favor, and
the entire delegations Of Yuma
and Pima against it. Pima was
right, of course, but Yuma? that's
the question:! This combination
of votes effected tie, and Yuma
stands on the record with a three
horse power; that's what's the
matter!
If Yuma had at ony time in
structed their delegation to use
their influence to change the ca
pital from Tucson to this place,
the question would have appeared
in an entirely different character.
But in this instance, three cOun-
ties of the Territory there are
only FIVE that can now vote) So
iicited Yuma to accept it, forced
it on them in both Houses, and
the entire delegation in the
House, (where tine power liesl,
goes against 1t.
The people of this county never
wanted the capital, nor do they
care anything about it as an abs
tract question to be fought for, but
whe three fifths of the Territory
ask them to accept the "bone"
that had been one of contention
for years between the two large
counties, it was the plain duty of
the delegation to have voted
for and taken it, 1t would have
been our business then to have
found out what it was worth, and
at the end of two years, it
might have gone where the best
interests of of the people at large
would have been subserved.
The episode, however, cannot
be lost to future Legislators.
When you know where your duty
lies, 60 against the friends who
honor you, and when in doubt,
always do it. You will thus merit
the respect of your constituency,
and acquire a new friendship, that
in the long lon" "rr, won't be
worth d to you, and what
ever may be the opinion as to
your individual merit, your poll
teal wisdom will never be ques-
toned and-alWavs avoided

pletely settled the dust that it is

California.

A Poor homie sick man writing from
Los Angeles to the st. Lonis Rerub-
lican warnes people against California
says:'
I feel it my'aduty to expose the
frauds that are being practised upon
the poor classes of people in the East,
by railroads and land spectators of
the West. There are now being pub
lisbed and distributed on the differen-
railroads and steamboat lines and post
offices, through the Eastern and Mid
die States, papers that are full of the
grossest exaggerations in regard to
climate, fertility of the soil, and the op-
portunities of getting employment in
California.
And further adds: Thousands of
merchants and farmers by reading
those papers are induced to sell their
homes at sacrifice, believing if they
get there with only money enough to
buy five acres land, or pay months
board, that SO will come tumbling in
for every clod they turn, or nail that
is driven. California within the last
month has been visited with heavy
frosts, effectually killing the wheat
and barley crops that headed out.
The later sowings have been more or
less injured.
Now the fact of the business is, this
man signing his name "Rexn is him.
felfa fraud, having come here with the
expectation of gathering the gold from
the trees or pickingit up by the way
side. People in California, as in other
countries, must expect to work If they
succeed, but that California has cli-
mate unequaled by any country in the
world and soil of the greatest fertility
is an established fact, only requiring
the industrious hand to turn the arid
plains all over its broad domain into
beautiful homes. Missouri would
blush to make comparison of climate,
with Los Angeles; and the light frost
this spring are unworthy of notice
compared with the ravishing grass
hoppers and destructive chintz bugs Of
the Western States. We have no in
terests in any railroad schemes or
land speculations, but we can say,
knowingly, that California has room
and inviting prospects for thousands
that are willing to leave their native
lands and bid adieu to childhoods
scenes and come with determination
of building homes here. In our
! county are thousands of acres of lands
lying idle that will produce an almost
endless variety of fruits, vegetables
and grain. We have manufactures
to build, irrigating schemes to devel-
op, and numerous enterprises that de-
mand capital and labor. The article
Of REX" is so foreign from the truth
that it would be useless to add more,
but in the language Of one greater
than we, we say: Come West, young
man, come West! NsaIid Times.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 2, 1875.
Ancient Ephesus.

On Saturday evening Mr.. John Il.
Wood delivered, in New York City,
his second lecture on the recent dis
coveries at ancient Ephesus. In
speaking of the celebrated Temple of
Diana, he said: 1.-THE results of the
explorations showed that the platform
on which the temple was raised was
239 by AIS feet, and that the peristyle
was reached by an ascent of fourteen
steps, which surrounded the platform
on all sides. The temple itself was
1874 feet by 343 feet, and the cellar
which was seventy feet wide, was en-
vironed by double rank of columns
six feet in diameter and upward of
fifty feet in height. There were ex-
actly 100 of these columns as described
by Pliny, and thirty-six of them were
c6elot8 or sculptured, eighteen being
at the east and eighteen at the west
end. On the fianks the intercolumn-
iations were little more than seven
teen feet, but at the extremities they
were increased to nineteen feet four
inches. This dimension, Mr.. Wood
stated, was repeated at the extremities
of each front, but was gradually in
creased to twenty-eight for the inter-
columniation in the center. Being
anxious to test the accuracy of Philo's
statement that the temple was built
on foundation of charcoal and flee
ces of wool, Mr.. Wood had deep holes
dug against the walls, and found a
layer of charcoal three inches thick,
OVERLAPPING putty-like substance four
inches thick. He had no doubt, there
fore about the charcoal, and he con-
sidered that the putty-like substance
might have been the fleeces of wool.
From some of the fragments found
Mr.. Wood concluded that gold as well
as color was freely used. He instanced
a small temple at Cyzics, where, ac-.
cording to Pliny, threads of gold were
placed between every joint in the
marble. The foundation of the most
ancient of the three temples found
by Mr.. Wood was laid B. G. 500 by
Theodorus of Sames, and the temple
itself was built by Ctesiph@on and
Metayenes his son, succeeded by De-
metrius, a priest of Diana, and an
Ephesian named Peonius. Mr.. Wood
considered that when Pliny described
the building of the tlempe was extend
ing over 200 years, he must have al
luded to the last three temples as the
temple, inasmuch as they were all
built on the same site and were of
the same size.
