PACIFIC COAST MATTERS.


SAN DIEGO, September 9.-The Unions

These articles 60 on to tell of the

and poverty of the Texas and Pacific.

Gov. A. p. X. Stafford and J. S.
Vssburg. Esq, are in town en- route to
Mohave county, where the law makes
it the duty of the governor TO go once
a year and visit the schools. That du-
ty was performed in this county in
May, and he is now hurrviug on in or
der 70 reach Tucson in time to issue
his election proclamation, provided
the secretary makes the apportion-
ment. Some of our people have had
the erroneous opinion that he had
some duty 10 perform in connection
with the apportionment, which is a
mistake. Ills duties are plain, well
defined, and there need he no fear that
he will shrink from their performance,
If every officer did his duty rs faith
fully as Gov. Stafford does his, we should
now have our rights, and candidates
would be in the field TO represent US in
the Territorial legislature. Mr.. Vos-
burg has just returned from the Cen

Swept Away.

From correspondence of Los Ange-
les Republican, dated Phenix, Arizona,
August 81:
On Thursday morning of last week,
Mr.. c. r. Ayers, on his way to this
place from his late residence at Ma
mer's ranch, at San Diego county, Cal,
was encamped on The Hassayamps
near its junction with the ella. He
was engaged in packing his camp
utensils TO start, when one of his men
who had gone to drive in the stock
and was on knoll near camp, called
to him that the water was coming
down the arroyo with a rush. Mr..
Ayers sprang on an animal which was
fastened to one of the wagons. BY
the time this was done, the water was
up to his waist He led the horse TO
high ground, but before he could re
turn, it was six feet deep on his camp
ground, torrent which swept wagons
and camp down toward or into the
ella. He is here this morning prepar-
ing to return and recover his wagons,
&c. If he succeeds he still, according
to his estimate, will lose 5000 or 800
by the catastrophe.

VIII Visit Arizona.

A couple Of weeks ago, we published
a dispatch announcing that certain
Southern Senators aud Representative
in Congress, intended to visit the Pacif
ic coast this Fall, at the instance and
invitation of leading railway men and
bankers of California. A San Francis
co paper recently held an interview
with Congressman Luttrell regarding
the points Of the visit, by which it APP
pears that arrangements had been made
for the coming Of the visitors between
the first of September and the middle
of October; and that while the exact
route was not fixed, the party will come
south from San Francisco into Arizona
and to the Mexican boundary, and az
forwards go north TO Oregon.
OF course this visit has for its object
the material prosperity of the coast as
il is enhanced by public improvements
especially by railways. The visit to
Arizona and the Mexican boundary,
indicates clearly enough what is the
general direction ofsuch improvements
and our people may rest assured that
the great railway builders and bankers
of California mean to secure for San
Francisco the bulk of the Southern
coast trade far down into Mexico. Re
garding the leanings of the members of
the party towards this or that company
or interest, Mr.. Lutrell said:
The party were selected with refer
ence to the bringing together of all op-
posing elements. The prime idea of
the Southern States is to get transcOn-
tinental route through that section of
the country and divert the trade of the
Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, and
thence TO Europe, instead of letting il
all 90 to New York and Baltimore.
Then there is another idea in the visit.
The reciprocity treaty with the Sand
witch Islands is now law. We want
a similar treaty with Mexico, and the
Southern States in such II case would
be equally benefited with us. The
point is To show our commercial adj
vantages and the extent and wealth of
the Pacific States To these Southern re-
Then at the next session
they will be as well informed rs they
can be without residing here and will
assist us in advancing such measures.
The railroad question will come up,
and they will be competent TO leglslate
on that.
Being asked the names of the gentle
men likely to compose the party, Lut-
trell said:
! have not the list with me. but rs
near rs | can remember they are j.
Randolph Tucker Of Virginia, General
Reagan of Texas, Lamar and Hooker
of Mississippi, FOrney end Governor
Houston of Alabama, Smith, HartridgeI
and Gordon of Georgia, Ransom and
Wardell Of North Carolina, Governor
Garland of Arkansas. BOgy of Missouri,
and, in fact. representatives, of all the
Southern and Western States.
The California press generally regard
the visit "a originated by the Southern
Pacific railway company, but Luttfell
says some of the visitors are strong ad-
vOcates of the Texas Pacific In any
event, the visit will very likely result
in more friendly voices and votes to aid
in the construction of great overland
railway that will not pass many miles
from Tucson.

The silver Commission.

Just prior 10 adjournment, Congress
created a commission TO examine into
and report upon monetary subjects
and especially as relates to the reestab-
lishment of the old silver dollar and
its legal tender character. The COM
mission is composed of Senators Jones
of Nevada, Bogy of Missouri, and
Boutwell,. of Massachusetts; and of
Representatives Bland of Missouri,
Willard of Michigan, and Gibson of
Louisiana. All but Senator Boutwell,
and Representatives Gibson are under
stood TO be in favor remonetizing
silver; and it is believed with the in
fluence their report will exert that an
easy working majority will be found
at the next session Of Congress, 10 re-
store silver to what it always was in
the United States prior TO 1873.

Re-measurement OF Pacific Rail
RORds.

WASHINGTON, September by di-
rection of the Secretary of War, Capt.
W. ]. Tivining of the Corps of En-
gineers, has been assigned TO temporary
duty in charge of the surveys of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail
roads between Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and Sacramento, California, as cOntem-
plated by the resolution of the House
of Representatives of July 10, 1875, and
section 8 of the Legislative, Executive,
and Judicial Appropriation bill for the
present fiscal year. Captains w. H.
Huer and James F. Gregory, and First
Lieutenants B. ID. Green and James b.
Quinn of the Engineer Corps, have
been ordered to report to Captain
Tivining for the purpose of assisting
him in the work The resolution of
July 10th, above referred to, was sub
mitted in the House by jerks. The
preamble of the resolution recites the
allegation that the measurements of
distances on the Union Pacific rail-
roads upon which bonds were issued
by the government were hastily and in
accurately made. The resolution then
directs the Secretary of War to detail a.
sufficient force from the engineer corps
of the army TO make careful and ex-
act survey of the distance of said
roads between Omaha and Sacrament
to, distinguishing between the sections
for which the bonds were issued to the
companies at the different rates, exhib-
iting the number of miles at each rate.
designating between the points of thel
different rates, and report the result TO
the House at the commencement of the
next session. The eighth section of
the Legislative bill referred 10 IN the
order appropriates $4,000 for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses of the
survey between Council Bluffs and
Sacramento.

Rev. Edward y. smith.

This gentleman died towards the
end of July at Acera, on the west
coast of Africa, whittier he had gone
in the employment of the American
Missionary Association, and his death
terminates q busy and varied career.
Born at New Britain, Conn, in June,
1927, he was educated at Dartmouth
and Yale, at the latter of which he
pursued his professional studies. Set
tied for nine years over the Congrega-
tional Society at Pepperell, Mass, he
at the beginning of the war, took
service in the United States Christian
Commission, of which he soon be-
came a prominent member, and in a.
large volume published in 1869, en-
titled incidehts of ,he Christian Com
he gave full account of its
work. At the close of the war he was
appointed General Field Agent of the
Missionary Association inI
which capacity he travelled much at
The South and became greatly interest
ed in the negroes, whose educational
needs he frequently set forth in dis
courses delivered in and about Newl
York. In 1871 he spent some months
among the Red Lake Indians, and this
ed to the most unfortunate event of
his life, his appointment in 1873 as
United States Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, to which place he was appoint
I'd upon the recommendation of Amer.
can Missionary Association, which
President Grant requested to name al
person. In this high office
nc became the target for all the disap-
pointed politicians and tricksters,
whose swindling of the Indians he in
with, and they assaulted him
He was charged with NAL
and it was even charged
hat he was associated with some of
he Agencies in a system of extOrtion
md money making. Mr.. Smith felt
ieeply these charges, and twice, at his
'equest commissions were appointed
o investigate him. These commits
lions after a thorough examination,
aIled to discover the slightest irregu-
arity in his conduct, and on both &C
,asiOns he was unanimously acquitted.
There is but little doubt that the
charges were wholly false and I'M
and that the integrity of Mr.
smith was perfect Ii was pleasant to
lin that he was heartily supported by
he President through all this evil
lime. The matter, however, had pain
ul results with the wife of Mr. Smith.
IpOn whose mind these charges
against the integrity and honor of her
preyed So deeply, that it was
necessary to place her for time in a
unatic asylum. Upon her recovery
he went with her only daughter to
where she is now staying

Productive Mining.

AS encouragement to our miners, we
publish the following, fully believing
several districts in Arizona will equal
that of Eureka within the next five
years:
The total bullion yield of Eureka
district, Nevada, for the year 1869 was
less than 100000. In 1915 the yield
WAS $6,OO0OO0. The current year is
expected TO show a further increase.
The total amount Of foreign capital in
vested in mining in Eureka certainly
does not exceed Sl,5O0,000, including
assessments. In return therefor has
been extracted and reduced, in less
than seven years, over S20,O00.000; and
mining in Eureka is yet only in lis in
fancy.
