Doings at Washin gtOn.

President Grant has signed the financial
Dill, and that subject May be regarded rs
disposed of so far as the present Congress is
concerned. There will be no relief from it.,
but there may be from the fact that the pres
ent Congress has ceased to meddle.
The President had prepared message ap-
proving of Sheridan's conduct in Louisiana.
but Secretaries Fish and Bristow, the leading
members of the Cabinet, threatened to resign,
and 1t was then toned down to a weak apollo
gy, and in that form sent to Congress. The
beggarly excuses offered would scarcely be re-
spectacle for a newspaper sneaking from a
threatened libel suit, but will be made to
answer as a cover for some newly invented
Radical outrage upon Louisiana. Had we
room we wsuld publish the message.
a necessity for additional revenue to meet
the eItrayagsnt expenditures of the Govern
nent seems TO be admitted, and it is said
President Grant will send a message to Con-
sress urging additional taxation. Tea and
Coffee and perhaps other articles, will prob
ably be taken from the free list and made to
pay a considerable duty, and the tax on
whiskey and other luxurie. will be increas-
cd. The thought Of looping off useless Off
ssrs and reducing salaries to what they wero
in Democratic days does not seem to even
suggest itself TO the Radicals
Being dissatisfied with the report of the
sub committee on Louisiana composed of two
Republicans and one Democrat, the Radical,
have sent another committee TO New Or
leans to investigate, four of whom are Re-
publicans and one Democrat
There has been palpable perjuring before
the committee investigating the Pacific Mai
Steamship subsidy business. Ten million,
were appropriated to this company, and il
cost $780, 900 to get the bill passed The
principal in expending it swore that he pad
none to members or officers of Congress-
Some officers admitted, under oath, and 9th,
ers have ran away. 1t is charged that the
committee does not try to find out what
members Of Congress received portions of it.
Irwin, the disburser Of the company, is now
IN Jail for refusing to answer questions.
The Senate has postponed the Louisiana
discussion and is proceeding with the several
appropriation bills. The House has been
engaged on unimportant business. 1t cut
down King Calico's visiting appropriation
! from thirty to twenty-five thousand dollars
Af it cost that sum to keep Calico three or
four days, it lisa happy circumstance that he

The London Times, the leading newspa-

the gloom surrounding us one thing is
perceptibe. All men are arming, Germa py
IS arming EN- ma55e, and surrounding nations,
including the best part Of the world, cannot
DO otherwise. The momentary dreams of
peace have lel away. Germany recognizes
the stern necessity that what she won by
rmi she can only hold by arms, and while
arms are in her hands, The Times asserts
that Germany cannot raise third army. Her
hopes are in a navy.

give ten millions of dollars to a steamship
orporation-millions more to railroad cor
porations-to establish thousands of useless
and expensive Offices, to increase salaries, 10
send troops into States to subyert their gov
ernments, to spend millions in the protection
of carpet-baggers and to support negroes in
idlcness-no reform in these particulars is
proposed now by the party in power-yet

Lieut.. Gov. LattS was inaugurated on
Tuesday and made manly speech, which
will be published hereafter
Two productions are printed on the first
page to which we desire to call special at
tsntion, viz: the address of Mr.. Harman to
the Grangers and the communication of a
Republican soldier. 1t is an encouraging
sign Of the times when the farmers hold
meetings and are intelligently and ably
addressed by members of their own Or
ganization upon subjects relating to their
personal interests and improvement in mind
and estate. All other professions and occu-
patlons combine for similar purposes and
hnd great advantage therein, and why shall
not the farmer-the great conservative
add most substantial interest of the country
upon which its welfare mainly depends.
We spprehend that the Republican soldier
who writes so earnestly will find that the
consequences of the abolition of slavery to
the negro only begin to exhibit themselves
and that as yet we have but the shade of a
shadow of what is in store for the inferior
race. The evil to the white and for the pres
ent of she South is more manifest but the
main evil is yet to come upon the North,
and eventually the South will be greatly
Protted. Only carpet bag rule keeps it back
now. The assured Democratic success will
bring peace and prosperity beyond the ken
OF any Of us to the down trodden land. The
common misfortune i, and ever will be that
there is imminent danger of an end to pure.

Railroad Items

J November ,, The Los Angeles Sta said There is no falling of in tho energy with which railroad matters art pushed ahead An immense amount
 of material is forwarded weekly to tho
 front on the Fort Yuma extension. On the same subject, on the 7th these items appeared:
 Three car loads of freight for Ari- zona will be dispatched to the ter minus of the Spsdrs branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad on Monday next. This IS an item worth ponder ing. Los Angeles holds the key to that trade. Our merchants ought to be reaching out for it.
 Mir. E. S. Phelps, the resident En- gineer of the Southern Pacific rall- road company. will leave to-day with a well equipped party to complete the survey across the Colorado desert and will probably continue their work into Arizona. It will be sever al months before the party returns to the orange groves.
 The contract for grading and laying of the track on the Southern Pacific railroad east ofthe San Gorgonio Pass, has been given to NJ. s. Hall.

THE CITIZEN.
TURD4K, NOVEMBER 2l, 1875.
About Certain POstohices.

A large majority of the postofiice'
 in Arizona, are regarded as an incum-
 brauce to the postmssters, and prob iablv for that reason the business ot
 the offices is neglected and reports re- ouired by law and the Department are not made. In all such cases, the office IS liable to be discontinued. About 6 dozen Arizona offices We could name. are now in this condition, and it behooyes the several comInu- mites that would be seriously injured bv such discontinusnce, to insist upon the postmssters performing their duty, or having them give way to some one that will lawfully fill the plsces. As an instance, the office at Smiths Mill was sought as a neces- sitv to that locality, and it was es- tablished with the postmaster recom- mended by the people concerned. Owing to failure to make the lsw- ful reports. the office is at any time liable to be abolished; in which event, the evident want of one there. would soon again be made known to the Department with something of bad grace.
 The Department is desirous of af- fording the people very liberal postal facilities, and we regret to know that so many postmsstors of the small but nevertheless convenient and im- uortsnt offices, have failed to show by proper attention to their duties, sn appreciation of the postal facili- ties given them. We refer to this in the interest of all who would be deprived of a great convenience in the loss of their postofhces, for lose them they surely will, if proper re- ports are not made and the regula- tions of the Department not obeyed.
