General Change fu Arizona JOur-
 nRiIsm.

On our fourth page, will be found
 the valedictory of MT T. J. Butler of
 the Arizona Miner, and the announce
 mcnt that the concern is sold to
 Charles w Beach and John IT. Marion.
 Among our Ynma items will be seen
 the staJement that the Arizona Sentinel
 has been sold to an association of gen
 tlemen, and Judge ". J. Berry, the
 late proprietor, promises t0, in the next
 paper, introduce his successors and
 say something regarding himself. This
 number of TIE CITIZEN announces
 the entire ownership in John WassOn,
 and he gives public notice that il is for sale, and thIs notice will stand until it
 is sold, and there is a reasonable hope that a sale of il will soon be made
 This will be an entire change in pro. prictorship of the Arizona journals, although it returns Mr Marion to The Miner with which he was so long con- nected anc mostly sole proprietor. So tar as we can learn, not a change oc- ! CUTS because the papers have failed to ! meet the business expectations of the owners, nor because the owners have . lost faith in Lhe Territory or desire or | intend to leave it. Speaking for our self, we have never regarded the future | of the Territory with so much favor as ]. now, and with our present faith in the Territory, and our good health for ac. | tive labor, have no disposition to [ change our place of residence. For over six years of full or part propri- ', etorship in thS.paper VIC have never been able to give it continuous person | al supervision and feel confident that |; We cannot in the future, and hence fixed purpose to sell. To properly ( write up. supervise in detail and attend , to the financial part of this paper, is a !; most laborious task for a competent $ man experienced in all the details. and we will not try to perform it all a day IC beyond January 1, 1877, unless it be { impossible 10 sell by that time, at the - m ederate price fixed upop it. And in l this connection, we will say that if we c do sell, we hope to give such friendly [ limited assistance to the 2 Arizona journals, as shall be accepta- r ble to them, and our time will reasona- ply permit

New Method Of Counting and De
 cIarIng the Electoral Vote.

Our dispatches speak of Senator Ed
 munds having introduced in the Sen
 ate an amendment to the constitution suggested by Carl Schurz, providing
 that the United States Supreme Court
 shall count the electoral vote and de
 clare the result. Following is more in
 detail than anything we have received
 by telegraph and therefore we give il:
 ST. LOUIS, December 3.-EN-Senator Carl Schurz, John D. Henderson, and other prominent men of this city, have
 forwarded a letter t3 the President of
 the United States Senate, relative to
 counting the electoral vote. with the request that he lay il before the Senate. They say the present condition of the country calls for some action which shall settle the political di>quictude. The clause is the Constitution respect ing the canvaSsIng ot the electoral vote is quoted, and pronounced indef- nite and liable to diverse constructions. An attempt to canvass the vote in a joint session of Congress is deprecated as certain to raise partisan issues and develOpe strife, which may prove dis astrous to the country. The letter then proposes as a remedy that the whole matter shall be transferred to the Su- preme Court of the United States. It. is urged that is the only tribunal from which a fair and impartial decision. one which will satisfy the whole peo- pie, can be obtained. To effect this. . the letter proposes that the two Houses shall improve the three weeks preced- 1 ing Christmas in framing and agree ing upon a Constitutional ammend- ! ment placing on the Supreme Court the duty of canvassing the electoral vote. Most of the State Legislatures meet immediately after the holidays. when the amendment could be sub | mitted The letter holds to the opin- ion that the amendment would be rati t fled without delay, so that it could be made a part of the Constitution. and apply to the present election. Both Presidential candidates, It is urged. would recognize the wisdom of this course. Both Republican and Demo t cratic Legislatures would ratIfy It. | The letter dwells at length on the wis { dom of removing so important a mat ter from a tribunal likely to be affect cd by party strife.
