The Governor of New York
did not call on the President
for troops, and in this was true
to Democratic principles as was
also Gov. Phelps, of Missouri.
Radicals say that New York
City is the worst and most riot
Gus city in this contry and yet
laborers assembled to the num-
Der of near 10000 in that city
to talk and consult, but no vio-
lence was used and no trouble
occurred. Each State is, or
ought to be put, in a condition
to be able to take care of itself
without calling for Federal
troops every time a little dis
turbance out of the usual routine
occurs.

The New York World says
with truth that if one-twentieth
part of the uproar and lawless-
ness which have lately disgrace
ed the great States Of New York
and Pennsylvania had occurred
in Virginia and North Carolina
every Radical newspaper and
spouter in the North would have
united in clamoring that the
Southern policy" of President
Hayes was a disastrous failure,
and insisting that those ancient
Commonwealth should be re-
duced to the condition again OF
military provinces. While New
York has reasserted her author.
ity within her own border, Penn.
sylvania is largely depending
upon the Federal army for the
restoration of law. Yet the
Blaines and Buffers have raised
no voice to ask that she should
be made a military province.

Gen. Stewart L. Woodford is
still talking about how pleasant
he found everything in Missis-

three things that gave me most
encouragement are these: First.
Everybody, white and black,

There were as many acres of

were of cotton. Third. The

The defeat of the Russian
army in Bulgaria has called for
an immediate levy of new troops,
by order of the Car. The Rus
sian landwehr includes every
man between the ages of 20 and
40, and it is upon this landwhr
or militia force that the Gar
now calls. The landwhr has
served not less than three years.
Russia already has half a mil
lion of men in the field, equally
divided on the Danube and in
Asia Minor. The entire regular
army numbers 800, 900, and there
is first reserve of 13O, 900 and a
second of 276, 900. The new levy
is for $4,000, and the entire
corps of the Imperial Guard, and
several regular divisions.

"It is asserted by several cor
respondents who are ordinarily
well-informed, that a considera-
BILE portion of the Presidents
first message to Congress will be
devoted to the labor question,
and that several members of the
cabinet are known to be in favor
of the passage of a law provid-
ing for the organization of a COM
mission which shall have due
regard for the interests of all
concerned, producers, merchants,
railroad employees and capital
lists, 80 that on any question a
fair compromise may be effect
3D."
The Hartford Times rightly
concludes that it is no part of
the duty of the Federal Govern
ment to regulate the wages paid
for farm work, blrick-laying,
type setting, or railroad labor.
The compromises" must be
made by the parties directly
concerned. This has always
been the way, in our country,
which has not, like the Cars
a "paternal' government. Under
Louis Philippe, and the empire
of the pledge breaker, Napoleon
Ill, the French government reg
ulated these things, and estab-
lished rates and prices for vari-
GUS services of articles of mer-
chandise. In the United States
these things have been wisely
left to the people themselves,
and to the regulation which is
sure to be reached by the laws
of trade, and of demand and sup
ply. Our scheme is good one.
The difficulty with SO many
tinkerers of it is this-they
wholly lose sight of the vital
principle which underlies the
system devised by the trainers
of the constitution, which prin-
ciple was the wise separation of
the government from all inter-
meddling with the peoples daily
affairs of wages, work, and self
government. The people, acting
in their state capacity, formed
for certain necessary and care
fully specified and defined pur-
poses a federal government, of
few and rigidly limited powers,
reserving to themselves all pow
ers not thus expressly granted.
The idea that the government
thus formed, or any branch OF
it, would ever assume to "gov-
ern" and regulate" its creators,

LETTER FROM THE SANDY.

EnIroR MINER :-Accoriing to promise, I herewith append you few lines from this silver world. The old Greenwood mill is bounding away, with its weak capacity. on average rock from the McCrackin, and the shining bars of bullion that emanate from this old institution is perfectly astonishing. The Signal Compauy'S mill is fast draw inc to completion. The engine and boiler are in position. batteries placed where they are soon to commence their work ot use fulness, and the minor appurtenanceS are heinr affixed. and it is thought that the snort ot the engine will summon the work men 10 their respective places on the loth inst. when will commence the dancing oi the huge stamps that are to pulveriZe the rich chloride ore which is being extracted from the mine not inferior to the ceiehra- tel ComStock in Nevada. l speak ot the Signal lode on the McCrackiu, that IS de vrloping body of orc which dazzleS the eyes of it's owners, and is liable to craze the brain.
 Work on the new 20-stamp mill for the McCrackln Company is progressing stead ilv. and in 60 days from date the whole 
 predict for this section of Arizona q bright and interesting future.
 Al present, only about si0,000 per month is shipped. aS the product of the Green wood mill h few days the Signal mill will add to this $60000 more every 20 days. and when he McCrackin's works are completed 20-stamps more will be added. and think it safe to state that the mills working McCrackin orc will yield m pure. bright. ringing bars of silver S2o0,00O per month or nearly two and half millions annually.
 Your fellow townsmcn. Cornell and Be han. arrived few days since from the Cspi- tai of the Territory. bringing copies ot our old friend. the MINER. with i;S columns, as usual full of fresh news from all sections oi the Globe. Gid Is in the hay and gram business, and is prince of good fellow.
