The \. Y. Times in com mcnting on the now deathless onset of the immortal ten thousand, with the three hundred offices bristling 10 the right, the left, and in front of them, says:
 No wonder; it IS the hungry dash of a long-exiled party. The locusts of Egypt were nothing to these invaders, for they have votes and what is worse, they nave constituencies. Like the man who asked Lincoln for mission,

Steamboat Adams.

The Washington Sunday Gazette has a long article severely criticising the services in government explorations of
 Professor Hayden and Major Powell. There would seem to be cause for some of the complaints of the Gazette, but the force of its criticism is lost by the following unfortunate reference to the so-called Captain Samuel Adams, so unfayorably known in Arizona:
 Maj Powell and Prof Hayden follow cd in the footsteps of Captain Samuel Adams, whose years of explorations were published three times by Congress before either of them ever saw the Colo radO river and the country drained by the same. Captain Adams has received no compensation for his arduous and valuable services, while the Major and Professor have gathered the fruits of his efforts.
 Whatever Hayden or Powell may be. Adams IS notoriously an adventurer, without merit of any kind, who has for years been hanging about the Con gressional halls, asking pay for services of no possible value and to recognize which would be a gross imposition up on the government.

Railroad through Mexico.

The Washington correspondent of the $. F. Bulletin writes December F:
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, and Representative Townsend of Pennsyl- vania, have introduced a bill winch possesses some interest in connection with the recent rumors of project for annexlng Northern Mexico, but which does not, however, seem to be backed by any parties of prominence in rail road circles. It directs the Secretary of War to cause a survey to be made of the most practicable route for a National Rail-highway" from Austin,
 Texas, to Fort Seaton, on the Rio Grande, and to extend the same, after applying to and receiving permission from Mexico, to the harbor of Topo- lOvampO, on the Gulf of California,
 and report to Congress the most feasi- ble route between the proposed ter
 mini. The bill proposes to appropriate
 S2j,OOO for the purpose. It was re- ferred to the Committee on Railroads.

Los Angeles Enterprise.

None of the railroad speculations of the Los Angeles press seem to us more sensible or hopeful than those regard
 ing the connection of that city with Salt Lake. The route is alike natural. practicable and important, and will give to Los Angeles direct communi- cation with the East, which must be of tle greatest value.
 The road will open up to develop ment and settlement longitudinal range abounding in mineral and other resources, and will prove favorite route to the Pacific at all seasons. The people of Los Angeles and Salt Lake are right in calling attention to its importance, and urging capitalists Ito promote its construction with the least possible delay.
 Senator Jones, who has distinguish ed himself in the prompt completion of the short but very necessary road from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, can in no way better add to his enviable reputation, as man of public spirit and enterprise as well as a sagacious and practical operator, than by extending that road to Independence and thence to meet the Southern Utah road, which. we believe, is now in running order to a point nearly one hundred miles south of Salt Lake City.
 The Chronicle of San Francisco, in commenting upon the proceedings of a public meeting held in Los Angeles to consider the subject, admits that the project, is a feasible one, and one that. can do no harm to the interests of San. Francisco. Certainly not, and anything like jealousy ofLos Angeles, San DiegoI or other places on the coast, upon the part of the press ol people of San Fran cisco, should be a subject of ridicule. That metropolis will for all time be the New York of the Pacific, but no Cali fornian should for moment think that the coast will be without other large cities, and we contend that it is the true policy to do everything to en- courage the growth and prosperity of such, for all will enhance the power and glory of the State.

An Honest Man..

| In referring to the election of late
 Indian Commissioner E. P. Smith to
 the presidency of Howard University,
 the Washington Republican most ap-
 propriately says:
 "The trustees of Howard University
 have done a most excellent thing in selecting the Hon. E. P. Smith to pre- side over that institution. MT. Smith
 is a gentleman of rare culture and at- ltainments, and leaves the burdensome responsibilities of the Indian Office, the duties of which he has discharged with great ability, as the present status of the Bureau conclusively shows, for position which his varied experience and accomplishments most happily fit him. During his official life as Com missioner of Indian Affairs Mir Smith has been the object of the most malic- nant attacks from a certain class of de feated and disappointed politicians, but through the details of all the search ing investigations of his official trans actions nothing has been developed which could in any way reflect upon him as an official of the strictest in tegrity and honor, and the present mark of esteem and respect from the officers of the university is well merit ed, and has received the hearty indorse- ment and approval of all concerned"
 If we were to add anything to the above it would be only to endeavor on our part to make the cOmmendation of the man and officer more emphatic. We will only say that in the diSchargeI of our duties as journalist and man 1t has been our lot to be brought some what in contact with difficulties occur ring in Indian management in this Territory. There is certainly nothing very pleasant in such contact, however right the cause may be, or however much success may be gained; but in so far as such contact has enabled Us to understand the motives and efforts of. ex-cOmmissioner Smith in his conduct of Indian management in Arizona, we shall always be grateful for the knowl- edge of the man which It has given us We believe him to have been as re- liable, honest and efficient as it is usual ly permitted any man but an "inde- pendent newspaper" Y" editor to be.

DECISION IN A MINE PATENT CASE WASHINGTON, December 30th.-ThC Commissioner of the General Land Office today rendered a decision as to the application of the town of Silver City, New, ct al., to set aside the patent to the South Comstock Gold and Sil yer Mining Company for their claims on the Comstock Lode. He decides that there was no error in the patents, and it cannot be recalled. This de- cisIon establishes the principle that a mining claim may be patented on com pliance with the law, whether it lies in or out of town-site patent.

From the last report of the Secretary of War, a considerable improvement appears to have been effected in army matters. X comparison between the years 1874 and 1875 makes the fol lowing showing:

CONGRESSMAN PIPER of San Francis co has introduced a bill to transfer tho Indian Bureau to the War Department and one to build a postofiice on Union square in his city. Piper has not opened ausp:cio ously; to transfer the Indian Bureau as proposed would be a calami ty to the Army and Indians, and to spoil the prettiest square in San Fran cisco would be unwise. Let him be the first to move to buy the elephant known as the Palace Hotel for the Post Office and other government offices. l. is in far better place than Union square, and would accommodate all federal officers in the city, and the rent of present military division head alone is about $2O,O annually.

SUNSET.

Touched by light that hath no name,
 A glory never sung, Aloft on sky and mountain wall
 Are Gods great pictures hung. How changed the summits vast and old
 No longer granite-browed, They melt in rosy mist the rock
 Is softer than the cloud, The valley holds it's breath, no leaf
 Ofall it's elms Is twirled, The silence of eternity
 Seems falling on the world. Slow fadesthe vision of the sky,
 The golden water pales, And over all the valley laad
 A gray-winged vapor sails. 1 go the common way Of all,
 The sunset fires will burn, The flowers will blow, the river flow,
 When 1 no more return. No whisper from the mountain pine
 Nor lapsing stream shall tell The stranger treading where I tread,
 Of him who loved them we'll. But beauty seen is never lost
 Gods colOrs all are fast, The glory Of this sunset heaven
 Into my soul has passed,- A sense Of gladness unoonfined
 To mortal date or cline, As the soul liveth, it snail live
 Beyond the years Of time. Beside the mystic asphodels
 Shall bloom the home-born flowers, And new horizons flush and glow
 With sunset hues of ours. Farewell the smiling hills must wear Too soon their wintry frown, And snOw-cold winds from of them shak, The naples red leaves down. But shall see q Summer sun
 Still setting broad and low, The mountain slopes shall blush anC
 bloom,
 The golden water flow, 4 lovers claim is mine on all l seem to have and hold,- The rose-light ofperpetual hills, And sunsets never cold

It appears now that there is a pro vision in the constitution of Mexico which prohibits the Government ofthat country from entertaining or consider ing any proposition for the alienation Ofany part of her territory.
 If the people or government of Mex ico know of any good way to make that provision stronger or to make 1t forever impossible to rescind or alter that provision, we sincerely hope they will hasten to secure a cOnsummatiOn so devoutly to be wished by every low CT ofthis country.

Centennial Appropriation.

The Washington correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin in late letter, speaking of the Centennial appropria tion which it is to be hoped for the credit and good fame of the Centennial Congress will be made, says that the object for which the late visit of the President, Cabinet, and large delcga- ton from Congress was sought was frankly avOwed. It was Co secure, if possible, the appropriation of amillion and half dollars to complete the work for which over five millions have al- ready been expended, all but about five hundred thousand dollars being fur nished by the State of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia and their citi- zens, from their unaided resources.
 It was expected that when Congress- men should see for themselves how wisely and honestly the money has been expended, and what magnificent re- suits are certain to flow from the com pleted work, there would be no longer any hesitation in insuring the success of the undertaking that the govern ment itself has commended to foreign nations as being under the auspices of the United States, and which so close ly concerns the material interests IS we'll as the pride and honor of the country. Judging from the universal expressions of the Washington partic. ipaEts in the excursion, there is no reason whatever to doub. that this ex- pectation will be fully realized.

The Tucson sIetcorite.

i In recent numbers of The Washing
 ton Chronicle some interesting articles
 have appeared on the discovery, trans
 portatiOn and presentation to the
 Smithsonian Institution of great
 meteOric stone, which has been gen.
 orally designated the "Irwin-Ainsa
 Meteorite," but which will in the future
 be known under the name of "Thc Tucson Meteorite."
 As appears from articles in The i Chronicle, Dr. E. J. D. Irwin. of the
 United States army and now at West
 Point, discovered this acrOlite in 1857,
 lying in one of the by-streetS of our village, half buried in the earth. hay
 ing evidently been there considerable
 time. As no person claimed f., Dr.
 Irwin, having devoted much of his time
 during thepreceding three years to the
 collecting of specimens of natural his.
 tory for the Smithsonian Institution,
 determined to secure for the national
 collection at Washington this fine spec
 imen of meteoric iron which he had
 found hidden away among the rubbish
 of an obscure alley in Tucson, which no person claimed, and which was
 there looked upon simply as curious
 but valueless object In his corre- spondence with Prof Baird, the doctor communicated his intention of for.
 warding and presenting it to the h. stitute. Many army officers and others in Arizona at the time looked upon the idea as impracticable, owing to the difficulty of transporting such a heavy mass over the bad roads of the country. Dr. Irwin however persisted in his praiseworthy design and under his guidance and with the assistance of several parties the stone was finally safely landed in Washington. Mr. Palatine Robinson, near whose house it was, assisted in getting the stone sent to HermosillO 4Ir Augustine Ainsa, who was engaged in the business of freighting and lived at Fort Buchan- an or in the vicinity, in this Territory, conveyed it as far as Alamito, Sonora, whence, after vexauous delays of months and years, it was conveyed, free of expense by Mr. Santiago Ainsa to Guaymas and thence by the Flint and Holiday steamship company to San Francisco, where on its ar- rival it attracted much attention. The MeteOrite arrived in Washington in November 1863, was placed on ex- hibition and became the great object of in the Smithsonian Hall. There having been some dispute as to the original label on this valuable stone, by which it became known as the "Ir- Meteorite," " the matter was lately submitted to Professor Henry of the Smithsonian Institution who has finally given hls decision by having new label placed on the stone, winch reads: The Tucson Meteorite, pre- 5ented to the Smithsonian Institution by Dr. E. J. D. Irwin L. $. Army, md transported from Tucson, Arizona, to Washington, free of cost, by 5. Ainsa, the Flint and Holiday steamers, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and the Panama Railroad Company.
 This remarkable specimen of mete- Oric iron will probably constitute one of the chief attractions in the Smith sOnian display at the National Centen, nial Exhibition.
