Senator Sargent after Ills LibeIers.
From the San Francisco Bulletin,

From the San Francisco Bulletin July 9.
 Two liebl suits were commenced 10 day by United States Senator Sargen in the Twelfth District Court-one o them against Frank II. Pixley and oth CTS, and the other against the de Youngs. Being interviewed and ask ed his reasons for bringing these suits Senator Sargent promptly responded:
 These suits are for different libelS than those which l have brought tO the attention of Grand Juries. 1 have tried faithfully to procure indictments on the article of May 7Ih, but by means of political pressure, exaggerated rep. .resentations of expense to counties, ter TOT of the Chronicle, or by some spe- cies of a case made up against me, de veloped in secresy, where 1 cannot confront witnesses or defend myself. my efforts have failed. 1 was assured at the session of the Oakland Grand Jury, by Col Jack Hays, the foreman, that if any testimony amounting 70 more than hear-say or gossip. should be brought against me, l should be re- called, and yet the Chronicle boasts that il proved Its case. l shall not sub init tu this mode of procedure any longer. l am entitled to a public hear ing on the infamous falsehOods pub llshed against me, even if l am pub lie man, and candidate for reelection, and as the crmInal law is SO admins tered as tD deny me the ordinary rights of a citizen, shall take the remedy that the common law gives me to drag these libelers tO the light of day and make such libeling unsafe to the per petratOrs."
 In response to the question as to whether the cases at Placerville would not accomplish this, the Senator said ::
 These are for different libels, as have said, at different daieS, and Tn one case by different parties Besides, these libels are published all over the State, and the trial at Placerville can be heard by comparatively few persons. Then, the statute does not provide any adequate penalty, on conviction in a single case, for these continuing and varying libels."
 When the Senator was asked why he did not commence civil suits in the first instance, he replied;
 Because did not wish to have the of my character as a public man take an apparently mercenary form, but l have no other remedy"

Colonies for Arizona.

TIE CITIZEN has at various times in
 the past discouraged immigration com
 ing to Arizona as colonies. There is
 no opportunity for agricultural colon
 ies to thrive here, because at this tune
 no large body of unoccupied land with
 water can be obtained. The worst
 features of coming as colonists, is the certain disappointment, because of the
 false basis and information upon which
 they are induced to come. IL is safe
 for the eastern press to discourage the formation of all colonies for Arizona and in fact for all the vast interior of the continent. Years ago, a few col onies of people might have come here and settled and succeeded we'll at some places in the Gila and Salt river valleys, and perhaps Cn the Verde and
 LIttle Colorado, but they cannot now.
 NDw il k an injury to the people to come as such and works a damage to the Territory, for the many disappoint- ed ones naturally enough send back reports prejudicial to the Territory, which they would not do, did they come as individuals. We have made personal observations of much of New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, east. ern Oregon and most of Arizona, and of all these places, we believe none possesses natural merits superior to Arizona Therefore to individuals de- siring 60 try their fortune in any of the sections named, we can quite certain ly assure them that they will do as well if not better to try Arizona than any of them. But do not come in colonies. Come in parties if you wish, but with out an idea of settling in colonies. Re gard every one who recommends com ing in colonies as not posted or who has no regard for your welfare and perhaps a schemcr to benefit himself at your expense.
 Arizona has marveiously rich mines; millions upon millions of acres of good grass which will fat cattle and sheep every month in the year; rich valleys of various areas III which there Is yet much vacant land, with streams of water to irrigatc them; many un- occupied springs in the mountains GOV cred with grass: much good pine, oak and other timber in the mountains; and as much and as good water as any of the Territories above named the eli mate is miid and generally healthy for man and beast; ere long an overland railway will span the Territory's entire length of 400 miles east and west: there are public and private schools and Va rious denominations of churches: in fact many advantages to offer lndividu- als and organized companies with cap ital for working mines and carrying on certain kinds of manufactures and perhaps other oPcrations-but colonies in the ordinary sense of the term lhould not come.

The following item appears in the Washing

"a gentleman who has just returned from

Holiday, aud General Malone has finger 10
tho pie.
We don't know anything about the ELI Ban
apas or the Hon. Peter Magll, but as Major
Hunter is Col. Holidays friend and neighbor,
and represented him in the convention, and as
the Colouel's nomination was obtained by the
solid Malone vote, we would advise those who
would like to $50 the Virginia conservatives d-
vidcd to place but little credcncc 10 such re-
ports. 1t would be impossible for Major Hun.

large majority tho Colonel will receivc,no single

The latest rumor 10 Washington is that Gen.
Butler is TO champion bill 10 the next Con-
gress for restoring to their positions o the army
those officers who resigned at the commence
ment of the civil war aud entered the Con
iodcrato service. Some people assert that
there is nothing too inconsistent for tho hui
man mind. Geo. Buffers history proves that
there is nothing too inconsistent for his mlnd
but whether his mind is that OF hu-
man being or not is a question about which
there arc strong doubts. That he is ma
liciously inclined, however, there can be no
doubt, and if the rumor be correct, which is
hardly possible, tho rcdoubtable general may
be iostigatcd by the spirit Of hatred and re-
venge engcudered 10 him by the contumoly
with which he is treated by some of the present
regular army officers, who, understanding his
character thoroughly, and approaching him
DIRECTLY, snub his pretentiousness whenever
occasion offers

proachiog passiveness, for there is little

devoted to an unsuccessful attempt to undo
the work of their own hands, for We learn
from the Philadelphia Record that in the
