Railway News.

The telegraph gives us Washington rail- way news up to Thursday of this week. Senator Hagar of California had been ac- cused by the St. Louis Republican of sell ing out to the Central and Southern Pa cific party against the Texas and Pacific. In reply he says he wants the Texas and Pacific built; that he has urged favorable and speedy action on the bill; that he strenuously opposed the Central Pacific peoples amendment to Scott's bill, but his pledges and constitutional objections to subsidies prevent him voting for the Texas and Pacific measure. In accordance with the recommendation of the Governor of Tennessee, the legislature of that State passed resolution by a vote of forty-eight to nineteen in the house and with but one dissenting vote in the Senate, asking their delegation in Congress to strongly favor the Texas and Pacific bill. A similar res olution passed the South Carolina legisla. ture by unanimous vote in the house.
 It is very evident that Col Scott is gain. | ing strength for his bill, and if it fails, it will be for the want of time alone. Public sentiment in all parts of the country is gradually growing in favor of Scott's bill and the South is about solid for it. We are not without hope that it will pass al this session.

side workings not up to the standard of virtue which governs the action of the singularly good man and editor of The Sentinel, we are unadvised and need not endorse. The members obeyed the wishes Of their constituents, and the constituents cannot consistently entertain unfriendiy charges against their representatives un- der such conditions; and as stated in the begiHning, neither the Sixth nor Seventh legislatures, nor both together, accom- plished so much for the general welfare as has the Eighth.

THE YUMA SENTINEL is distressed be- cause THE CITIZEN complimented the artistic skill of our local photographer in taking groups of the Eighth Legislative Assembly, and it wants us to "spare D something or other. We did not Intend to refer to those groups again, but some of the members of the late legislature called and asked us 10 say that if the requests of the editor of The Sentinel to elect him Centennial commissioner, had been com- piled with, he would have felt much bet ter and printed kinder statements about the legislature. Of course we declined to do it, for it was only their opinion that such a circumstance would have altered the case. Aside from the good workman ship of the artist, we will venture the as- sertion that the group presents us good looking body oi men as almost anyother lot Of 27 that could be found In Ari- zona, which did not include the editor of The Sentinel. But then there are few as good looking men as the Judge, and were it not that the eXmembers declare that good looking men are seldom great ones, we would elaborate on his beauty. The subject is attended with em barrassment
 and in any way it might be treated, com- plete satisfaction would hardly follow
 But as an expression of professional courtesy and good will for our very genial and beautiful contemporary, we feel obliged to pay some deference to his ap- peals to "spare" something or other, which we promise to do as well as we can.

THE people generally are awakening to the importance of the Centennial in 1876. The New York Herald, which more than any other big paper tries to express the popular feeling of the hour and day, says America for her own credit, must con. centrate at Philadelphia in 1876, all her forces" In that greatest of all States with but little pulatiOn-Nevada-it is pro- posed to use $20,OO0 to insure representa- ton. Arizona has wisely given S5000 two years ago, Montana appropriated S4000 to aid exhibitors Oregon has given S50O0 for the same purpose; Idaho's liberal and well-to-do citizens have guaranteed enough money to place samples of her resources plenteously on exhibition. California alone of the Pacific coast States and Terri tories, has done nothing in the matter.

Penitentiary Locatien.

The penitentiary ot Arizona is located at Yuma. where we think it will remain
 permanently, and there are substantial reasons why it should, not the least of which is that the subject Of its location would not again disturb legislation. The place is healthy. It is on a navigable river which forms the western boundary of the Territory. All iron, timber and other materials needed for its construction and not at hand, can be landed there at very small cost compared to any interior place; and when the convicts are put to manu- featuring, as they should be as soon as possible, crude materials can be quickly and cheaply obtained, and at no other place can the manufactured articles be more easily distributed to various markets in or out of Arizona. Other reasons will readily suggest themselves.
 At first we were inclined to think the bill somewhat premature, but whether at Yuma or anywhere else, Arizona needs and should have as speedily as possible, penitentiary for Territorial prisoners. We still have hopes Congress will pass Dele gate McCormick's bill to appropriate $4O.- 900 for this purpose, but in case It shoud not, the Arizona bill will meet the emer- gency. Sheriffs get no pay for extra guards over Jails containing Territorial prisoners, and hence even if the jails were securely built, the chances of escape are greater than in penitentiary with warden and guards especially selected and paid to securely keep and manage them. The bill requires all Territorial prisoners to be removed to Yuma by May ensuing Two of the prison com mmissioners, Messrs. David Neahr and Jose NJ. RedondO, reside at Yuma, and can and undoubtedly will give personal attention to the security of prisoners as we'll as to other duties which they are directly charged to execute. All in all, the penitentiary bill Is a valuable one and the location could hardly be inn proved upon.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Senate committee to-day reported an increase in the Indian appropriation bill as it came from the House in several particulars, one of which is one hundred thousand dollars more for the Apaches.
 An extra session of the Senate is regard cd as certain, to consider the Hawaiian treaty and to compel the new Senators to define their position politically.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. l7-There is nothing new on Texas Pacific matters to-day. No action has yet been taken by either com- mittee on the bill. There was no quorum m of the house committee on railroads on Monday. There will be an extra session of the Senate to confirm appointments, but little Likelihood of an extra session of Congress.

OUR MINING INTERESTS,
Their Extent and Value,

Without any outside aid of much con
 sequence; the gold, silver and copper
 mines south of the Gile river, and also
 north Of it, are being developed rapidly,
 and now show beyond all doubt that Ari-
 zona possesses more ore that will run
 above $50 per ton than is known to exist
 in any other Territory or State Of this
 Union. During the past few weeks, Safi'l
 Hughes has made assays from ores ob- | tained from mines as far west from here as Gila Bend north beyond Florence 1; i from the east beyond San Pedro valley {; and from the south to the Arizona boun- diary, and all show results of from $50 to several hundred dollars per ton-the aver age being above Sl0O. This is no forced statement. MT. Hughes is convinced that we have the mines to make one of the most prosperous of sections, with Tucson as the center of it all, and that we are on the eve of a new era in this respect, which will quicken and revive all other branches of business. With the Texas and Pacific railway completed, the people here would
 be amazed at the value that wOnld at once attach to almost every one of the hundreds of claims upon which more or less work is now being done, and which extend from New Mexico to California in every have been issued for survey of eleven mines for patent in and about Clifton. Above one hundred men are at work, with the most f1attering developments, in the Patagonia and Santa Rita mountains to the south Of us. D. c. Thompson and others have about a dozen arrastrars to work on the Ostrich, and Messrs. Carr and Hopkins have made all the arrangements to put a stamp mill on this ledge, on the claim they recently bought of McGorrish. Tom. Roddick who is to work on the vein at another point, for Dr. Handy and others, says that every particle of quartz brought out in drilling holes anywhere in the shaft, prospects richly in gold, and assays show that the ore contains as high as Sl00 per ton in silver. From the evidences now obtained, 1t IS not rIsking any thing, we soon be one of the noted gold and silver producing ones of the country, and be acknowledged worth millions of money. Already townsites are in contemplation there. Wood, water and grass are plenti- ful to meet all wants in these respects. The mines of the Papago district are looking better under the work constantly going on in them. E. M. Pearce gives the usual good reports from Quacharty and Silver mountain districts. In the mountains in sight of Tucson, Fully, Ochoa & Co. and c. o. Brown are taking copper ore from a vein that is being proved very large. It is a fact beyond further dispute, that the mountains all about here are full of large veins of rich gold. silver, copper and lead ores, and that notwithstanding the great distance from them to rapid and cheap transportation, they will pay to work, and are being worked by men who reside in and near Tucson.

HON. R. c. MCCORMICK has our thanks for many useful public documents, and among the latter 8 pamphlet showing claims filed in the Interior Department for losses sustained during the past ten years by Indian depredations, and what dis position has been made of the claims. We will give the subject some attention soon, for it is quite clear under present legislation no claim ever was paid, and almost as clear that none ever will be.

FATAL Doc FIGHT-On Sunday
afternoon a dog fight occurred, on
Main Street, that is particularly de-
serving of notice at our hands. For
many months there has existed an
luminosity between the dogs of Jo-
seph Munckton and N. Frett, which
would bring about fight whenever
they met, and in every instance, we
believe previous to Sunday, Frett's
dog. being the larger and more pow
erful, "got away with his man"
But not so that day. By some
means in the clinch, Munckton's dog
got his teeth fastened in the leather
collar of Frett's mastiff. and sue
cecded in choking him to death,
after a very severe struggle on the
part of the now dead dog.
