Lieutenant W. C. Roundy, who has jus,

Lieutenant W. C. Roundy, who has just returned from San Carlos. where he went to muster out company of Indian scouts and enlist others to take their places, called upon us this morning. He says the pine woods in the mountain portions of the route abound in game of all kinds, from quail to deer, and they killed even more than they wanted. The Lieutenant is one of those go ahead men vino never let chance go by to capture h. dians or game if within the line of his duty. and wonld live we'll in 8 country where many an officer would starve both himself and command. He received his present pro- motion as a reward for gallant conduct in the Modoc War, and if occasion should again offer would no doubt maintain bis rep utation. Company B is especially favored by being officered by men who know what service is. Capt. Porter himself having re- ceived promotion in recognition of gallant conduct inwar.

We acknowledge the receipt, by last mail of an invitation card to be present and wit ness the marriage ceremony of our young friends W. B. Cahoone, Cashier of the Bank of Tehama County, Cal, and Miss Annie F. Reed, at Red Bluff Cal, on the evening of Nov. 18th. But like several similar invita- tions received during our sojou,n in Ari- zona, it came too late, and we couldn't go. We take special delight, however. in send ing congratulations, and the hope that the fair bride may ever be as happy as we have been while an inmate of her fathers house, and as it has ever been the province of the family to render all who have had the good fortune to possess their friendship.

MEN AS LovERs.-In the first place, it is an imposition on well-bred girl to keep her up later than 10 30 o'clock, when you have opportunity of seeing her often. If you always leave her with the wish in her heart that you had stayed longer, you have gained 50 much. Never run the risk of wearying her with your presence. Be just as earnest and straightforward as in your honorable dealings with men. Impress your friends with the worth;ness and seri- ousness of your love. so that vulgar and senseless bantering will appear to them as such. Love is religion-the supremest hap piness, wear it manfully and proudly but holily. Woo woman bravely. If there is anything humiliating to a woman, it is to have lover, whom she wishes to honor, weak and vapid, ever yielding and half afraid of her. She longs to tell him to act like a man" The man who conceals or de- nies his love for fear of being laughed at is a coward.

John Brickwood has returned from the
 Little Colorado Country and has given us an account of hIs robbery on the Mogollon
 Mountains on his way out He was riding alone and having travelled quite a long dis tance without water was thirsty, and seeing a wagon and several people, including 8 white woman at camp some distance from the road, he concluded to ride out to where they were and ask for drink of water He accordingly rode out and seeing an elderly gentleman, was in the act of asking him for water, when Mexican, of whom there were four standing about the camp, drew shot gun on him, a second took his horse by the bridle, third seized his cantinas and the fourth demanded his money. He saw he was completely in their power and gave up sl25, but retained considerable sum which he had in other pockets, which they did not
 find. They then exchanged saddles with him taking new one and leaving him an old worthless one and taking other portions of his travelling outfit amounting in all to nearly as much as the money. They then left and he ascertained that they had just finished robbing the people at the camp as he rode up, and had taken some money from the old gentleman and all the lady's jewelry and other valuable trinkets. Brick wood found that they had come from the di- rection of Prescott and were going towards New Mexico and that they had robbed every one they met in the mountains for distance oftwo hundred miles. He kept on their track until they reached St. Johns where there is quite settlement of Mexi- cans aud he lost all trace of them. They were no doubt seereted there by their coun- trymen until he had gone.

THE CLIFTON VOTE.

We heard q part of Le0nard's argument before the Board of Canvassers yesterday. and observed that he made several points in support of his motion to throw out the Cliff ton vote, that were not enumerated in our brief statement of our understanding of the case in a former issue. He contcndcd that the returns were improperly before the Board because they were neither brought in by an officer of the election nor by any one designated for that purpose, neither did they bear the post mark of any Postoffice at which they had been mailed as the law pro- vides it may be done. One of the princi- pies for which he c0ntended was that the law contemplates that representation and taxation shall go together. and that in this case no taxes have ever been collected from any one of those who voted at Clifton, al- though there is provision in the statutes which prescribes as qualification of Il voter in Arizona, that he shall have paid poll tax within the year. As these people do not assist in bearing the burdens of the Government he argued that they should not share in its privileges to the extent of selec ting officers to manage the funds collected from those who do pay taxes.
 Again he contended that the circumstance of all the certificates, upon which they voted, (they all voted on certificates, there being no registration in that precinct prior to the time the great register was made up and sent to the printe', wee ,sll new, and showed no evidence of their having been in the hands or carried in the pockets of those to whom they were issued, none of them ever having been folded, or soiied in any way, but simply rolled in clean neat bun. die, as if they had all been handed into the Board of Election by one man. and the fact that the whole vote to the number of l05 was almost exactly alike he urged Was corrobOrativc of this view. Another pom upon which he appeared to rely in support of his motion was, that the late maps, dated in 1876 sent out from Washington fer the guidance of the land officers, places Clifton in Maricopa. and not in Yavapai county. consequently the returns, if legal at all should be made to Ma:icopa County.
 These with the point already stated with reference to the priority of the certificates over the record in the Great Register. we beie e ar, the principal counts upon which the returas are sought to be thrown out. When Judge Goodwin shall have made his on Monday we shall endeavor to present the salient features of his side of the ciSe.

No ELECTION NEws.-We have nothing whatever from the elections in either of the doubtful states to day.
 Our advices from San Diego are that there are no further developments that point to a solution of the problem in which so many feel an interest, viz, who will be Pres- ident after the 4th of March.
 Our readers may rest assured, however, that as soon as the result is made known in Eastern Cities, they shall know it here and until it is determined it seems but folly to be lelcgraphing uncertainties and publishing

ABOUT BOUNDARY LINES.

The Organic Act of Arizona defines the Eastern line of this Territory as follows Running due South from point where the Southwest corner of the Territory of Colorado joins the northern boundary line of New Mexico, to the Southern line of said Territory of New Mexico"
 The Legislature of Arizona originally de- fined the boundaries of Yavapai County as follows:
 'On the East, by the line of New Mexico; en the North. by the parallel of 37 degrees North latitude; on the West, by the line of ll3 degrees 20 minutes West longitude, ard on the South by the middle or main chan nel of the Gila River"
 In Is7l the County of Maricopa was created out of q portion of Yavapai, with the boundary lines ss follows:
 Commencing at point where the San Carlos River crosses the parallel of 34 de- srees of North latitude, and running thence b point on the Rio Verde thirty miles above its mouth, where it empties into Salt River; thence to White Tanks, and thence due West to the Eastern boundary of Yuma County; thence South. along the said line to the Gila River; thence up said river, fol- lowins the principal channel thereof, to the mouth of the San Carlos River where the same empties into the Gila; thence up the said San Carlos River to the point of begin ming"
 ln 1875, the County of Pinal was formed ext of portions of Pima, Maricopa and Ya- vapai, with boundaries as follows: Commencing at point where the ll2th Meridian of West Longitude intersects the ist Standard parallel South; thence West. on said line, to the Eastern boundary of Maricopa County; thence South, on said Zine, to where it intersects the 2d Standard Earallel South; thence East, on the line of fhe 2d parallel. South to where said line Intersects the Eastern lina of Range No. IS East; thence due North on said line to q |toint where said line intersects the North fne of Township No 1 North; thence due Vest along said line to the Eastern line of &ange No. East; thence due South to the Puthern line of Township No 2 South: hence West to where said line intersects l be 112th Meridian sf. West Longitude; hence South on said Meridian to the place beginning"
 From the above, the reader who is posted In the geography of the country, ought to fuess what this County embraces within Its boundaries. .,'.., :,

A correspondent of the Silver City N. NJ. Herald, writing from Clifton, in this county says: "The copper turned out by the Long, fellow Copper O., daily kicks the beam at sOoG pounds" Counting copper at latest New York quotations, 21 cts, per pound, the product of this mine when it reaches New York will amount to $l,26O. per. day. The freight is of course to be deducted from this amount before arriving at the value of the metal at the works.

Words Of Sense.

The New York Tribune which is strik-
ing vigorous blows for Hayes, yet has
the good sense to look at the dragooning
Of the South for political purposes in its
true light. Read this:
There is no reason why the Southern
States should not support the Republican
ticket; but if there is to be Republican
majority in those regions it should be Tree
and unintimidated majority. No other can
exercise any.permanent infuence-no other
can promote wholesome results. Why
should we desire President Hayes, at the
very outset of his administration, to be
hindered and embarrassed by that reaction
through the whole South which will be sure
to follow electoral votes secured through
military coercion? If the South prefers to
vote for Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks, it is
infinitely better to permit it to do SO than tc
dragon it into an opposite course, which,
at the very first opportunity, it will abandon.
Why begin by breeding for the President to
come vigorous and even malignant opposi-
tion which will infal1ibly spring up the mo-
ment the pressure of the Federal arms is
taken eff? If the Grant administration
were capable of such degree of foresight,
we might imagine it to be preparing, under
the pretenses of amity, for the embarrass-
ment and failure Of its successors. 1t al
ready assumes that the majority must be
fortified, coddled, protected everywhere by
the Federal battalions. Are they to be kept
on guard forever? Has the Administration
no legacy to leave to its successors save that
of force? Can we not elect an honest Presi-
dent without conditions and drawbacks
which will make his official life one long
trouble, and neutralize all those benefits
which should be secured by his election?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-08-31

Mr.. Scott Lord, which was passed by the
House of Representatives on the 10th
instant, and received the vote of nearly
all the Democratic members. He has
delayed its issue till one week after the
passage of that resolution, and has kept
it back till one day after the adjourn
ment of Congress. Why did he not issue
it after receiving the resolution, or while
yet Congress was in session. The trick is
worthy Of Grant himself.
As far back as the second of August,
we warned Congress that it would be un-
safe to adjourn leaving free opportuni-
ty for the exercise of unrestricted power
in the hands of such President as
Grant. Our warning is already more
than justified.
Grant and the Senate have lately been
very anxious for the enlargement of the
army and it is now evident, as it has
been all along, what object they had in
view in this policy.
The House was weak enough on the
last day of the session to assent to the
Senate's demand for an increase of two
thousand five hundred men in the cav
airy arm of the service. The pretense
was that this additional force was needed
for the Sioux war. 1t was not needed
for the war, but for use in the Southern
States during the coming Presidential
election.
There is but one thing now to be de-
sired, and that is, that this military in
reference of Grant may recoil upon the
party for whose advantage it is in
tended.

Arouse. Agitate. and Organize! |!

The boldness and desperation of the
Grant despotism-openly and deiantly
declaring determination to carry South
ern States in favor of the organized cor
ruptionists and thieves at the point of
the bayonet, suggest the necessity of
thorough organization on the part of the
free people of the North, in such maner
as will enable them to do whatever may
be necessary to be done at the proper
time, to save and successfully defend the
constitutional liberties of the peoplel !
We hope and firmly believe an over
whelming majority North and South,
East and West will proclaim Tilden the
coming man to lead the great Republic
for the ensuing four years. But we also
believe that the corruptionists at WASH
ington and their official followers mean
to defy the popular will and force dis
graceful submission to the meanest des-
potism that ever disgraced civilized peo-
Pile! In view of passing events the
important work now before us is to extend
and improve our political organizations
so as to enable US to be ready for any
emergency in the near future.

The Bayonet in the Election.
New York sun.l

Grant has seized the first moment a.
ter the adjournment of Congress to show
his hand; and the people of the country
can see that it grasps a bayonet, the
point of which Is turned toward the
Southern States.
1t is a feeling not of alarm, but of in
dignation, that will be raised throughout
the land by the military order that was
recently issued from the War Depart
ment to General Sherman. 1t directs
the General OF the Army to hold all the
available military force in readiness to
