Dull Times i'm Virginia City.

About two weeks ago, the-Rnterprise had an article on this subject from which we extract the following:
 A very serious question is open to the masses of Virginia City. With many it is no longer a question of how to get a fortune, but rather how to get the cCmmonest necessities of life, If the financial tourniquet is given anoth- CT turn or two we shall all be ready for amputatiOn-the circulation will be entirely stopped. It looks now as though in few days more, it will be a question for landlords to decide wheth- CT to accept less rents or to have tenant less houses; question for railroad corporations, whether 10 charge less freights or to cease running trains; a question tor laborers, whether 10 take less wages or cease laboring at all; a question for everybody, whether a half dollar can be made to go so far as a dollar could a year ago, or whether to go without the hAG The mines are daily discharging wOrkmen. The num- Der of destitute and desperate men and families are increasing daily.
 There can hardly be more sad spec tscle in community than large num- Der of men able and anxious to work to suppors themselves and families, end yet cannot get work to do. Thus f3- there hes been no suffering among indIst-iou2 ard healthy people in Ari- zona, and until there are many thous- anGs wholly dependent upon one in- teres: and employment, there need be oOpn

Pzsfness Men Of Prescott Working
 fer Taxes.

This is from the Prescott Miner of
 Hay II:
 TAxEs.-One of the most prominent men on MOnteZuma street, doing g large business, assured us that he was compelled to work during the last year merely fer the purpose of paying viii lage ard county taxes, and that as the indications are favorable for much heavier ts- this year, 1t will necessari ly compel him to sell out or close busi- ness. This is only one of the many who nave told Us the same thing dur ing the last few days.
 For much heavier tax this year, '" whick will necessarily compel him (and many others) to sell out or close business ia the lovely and flourish iEg tOTn of Prescott, the good people ere indebted 70 the acts of 6 legislature based upon fraud Perpetrated by a few official Tascals who reside in Pres cot. The people O. Yavapai county, outside of Prescott. are yet to be heard from. The Miner substantially tells, perhaps without intending it, that viii lage ard county taxes this year will compel business men of Prescott co sell out or close business. Such are the early fruits of the notorious cen sus fraud, and shows why honest men in Prescott arc willing to have such ruinous acts declared voId.

TIE Kern county, California, press defends the lands holders against the charges which have been made against them in connection with the Desert Land law, asserting that they have only acquired possession under it's provisions of tracts which were utter ly useless without irrigation, and which could not be cultivated Tn small hold ings because of the cost of putting water upon them, and winch could never be utilized unless capitalists combined to irrigate them on an ex- tensive scale. The local press, which certainly ought to know what it is say ing, declares that no wrong has been done 10 any one, under the Desert Land law, so far Kern county is con- cerued, but that, on the contrary, the county has been benefited by the addi- ton of a million dollars to is taxable property, and by the increase Of its productive area. These journals assert emphaucally that the land taken under the new law would have remained indefinitely if not utilized in this way, and that the public have gained instead of losing by the transaction. This eyi- dcnce k important, and it is needless 10 say that It carries far greater weight than the nasty conclusions of out siders, who are not acquainted wiib the character of the lands Tn question, and whose reasoning Is based upon theoretical views quite as likely to be wrong as right.

News from Mexico.

Our latest dates from Guaymas gre to May 3. Strong efforts gre being made to elect Serna Governor over Mariscal. TSe troops in Guaymas and Mazatlan are being exchanged fer Oth- CTS, and il is rumored that Ger. Maris- ca, is to be ordered away. Old Gov. PesQueirG is well received in the City of Mexico, and fl may be tha: he IS la- boring to get Mariscal taken from So- nora. April %, the gunboat Demo crata '" arrived at Guaymas with 200 troops Of the 22d regiment and the next day, Co.,. Rangel and the Quay mas garrison of 200 ren of tho 18th regiment, left for Mazatlan. The gun boat Mexico was expected in few days with 200 men Of the 22d ard on arrival is expected to take sway the remainder of the 18th regiment in So- nora.

Is is though. if the Southern Pacific Of Cal ifornie would send 9 commission to the Congress asking for aid to build the road on reasonable te.ms, that thSt body would readily grant l. t is feared by the people anxious for .he success of the enterprise at .ho hands of some body or company. that -espol- si5le parties may get concession and complicate and deter actual work.
 4 strong petition has gone from So nora, asking Congress to grant sub tidy of S2COO per trip to enable a steamer to ply st least once per month between San Francisco and the Mex ican ports. There is not now conner cial business enough to warrant month ly steamer trips.

 tn California.

New York, April 30.-A Tribune's Washington special says: The Com missioner Of the General Land Office believes the San Francisco dispatch, stating that great swindles have been perpetrated in California under the Act of last Congress relating to the sale of desert land, is exaggerated. The Act strictly provides that the land pre-empted under it shall be desert land, and before entries can finally be made at the Land Office the pre-empt- ors will be required 10 prove affirma- tiyely that no acre is susceptible of cul tivation except by irrigation. If any swIndles have been attempted, there fore, the Land Office has power to de- feat them.
