While We are perfectly aware
that any advice we can tender
has very little likelihood of be-
ing needed, still we can hardly
restrain ourself from suggest
ing to the Republicans that they
should be cautious as to the pre-
eedents they make now. Itcan-
not fail to strike the dullest of
you that the Democratic party
is gaining strength every day
Be particular as to the character
of the machinery you supply
them with. Guillotine was one
of the first victims of his own
implement, and Macbeth, in the
later stages of his career, mourn
fully admitted that he had
taught bloody instructions
which, being taught, returned to
plague himself, their inventor
The day may come when the
Democratic party may feel in the
humor of repeating the nursery
rhyme,
Git for fat, butter for fat
You kill my dog, and I'll kill your cat"
White man is mighty "onsar-
tain," and there are queer revo-
lutions in politics. Meantime,
nobody is ever hurt by staying
strictly within the line of fair
play.

The clouds in the political sky
are breaking away Light is
pouring in upon the prejudiced
and partisan mind, and the
Hayes managers begin to see
that they cannot with impunity
trample upon the Constitution,
upon laws, and upon the dearest
rights of a free people. Hayes
can only be seated by palpable
fraud. His assumption of the
reins of government under the
circumstances in which he finds
himself would be the most fla
grant usurpation. The declara-
ton of the President of the SEN
ate that Hayes had been elected
would be one of revolution
These facts are known by the
whole country, and those gentle
men who are in the lead of po-
itical affairs, the last persons
generally to take any note of
public feeling, are beginning to
hear from their constituents, and
the more they hear the less YER
zebra they will have to carry
them into the work of the high
handed outrage which was con-
cocted before the day Of the
election. The signs are more
hopeful. Right will triumph.

north. and about seven miles be. low the Rio PuertO. There is no water in the Le Roux Fork in the dry season, except near the head. The next is Little Dry Fork, from the south. The next in order is the Big Dry Fork, from the south. The Big Dry Fork heads within half-miie of Tonto Basin, and is from 800 10 600 feet deep. There are mountain sheep here, and some of the grandest scenery that man ever beheld. The next tri- butary is called "COttonwood Fork" from the northeast, and about three miles below Big Dry Fork. From the bead of the Lit 1 tie Colorado to the mouth of Cot tonwOod is about TO miles, and from here to the first falls or cas- cades is about 60 miles more. These falls are about no feet high the first 50 and, the second 60 feet, with a bench between of solid rock 20 feet wide. Here begins the big canyon of the Lit tie Colorado How "Long" and "Short" got over these falls with. out perceiving them, bangs all creation, unless they seooted over them in the night when they were asleep. The canyon begins here and gets larger, higher and grander the further down. The Little Colorado, at high water, rushing through this canyon, makes roar equal to that of Mi agara, and can be heard at a great distance.
 1 agree with Moss, that a man must certainly possess, if not the devil himself, the devils spirit, to go over these falls, which are from five to one hundred feet high, and down through the rocks and boulders, with the waters rushing pitching, boiling and plunging in every direction at the same time. How any boat could stand such bufieting is more than l can un- derstand. From the head of the canyon to the Moquis villages is about 35 miles, and across the Painted Desert. Here upon this desert are high, isolated mesas, disconnected from each other, re- sembling islands in the sea, some of them 400 or 800 feet high and perfectly level on the top. The formation of these mesas is a con- glomerated cement. Inoticed, in places on the south side of some of these mesas, where the wind had an uninterrupted sweep from the San Francisco mountains that the loose white sand had drifted up against the mesa until it had reached the top. some 300 feet from the level of the plain

Brinley, Geo. Thurlow, A. Tyner and D. Neahr. The railroad: Co. offer equal amounts of their lands in. ex. change for these lots, in case the owners prefer exchange to sale. A committee was appointed to negotiate with the owners and the matter has been arranged sat- isfactorily to all concerned. Re- pair and machine shops, round houses &c. will be built on the eompany's lands out by the Gila slough beyond the slaughter house. Passenger depots would also have been built out there, had the above arrangement not been made. Opposite the Court House the line of the road diverg- es from that of Madison avenue and strikes across to the head of Gila st. near the slough. A large shed will be erected from the end of the bridge on Madison Avenue along the river bank, over the c. $. N. Co.'S. garden. to and across Main st.

The Little Colorado.

CAas.: A. Franklin, in a letter 10 the MINER, dated at Florence. May IS, in describing the Little Colorado and its tributaries saws
 The river, for 40 miles from its source, contains immense quanti- ties of as fine speckled, trout as ever were seen in any country.
 Ihe general course of the river for the first forty miles Is about east; here it is joined by the Nu. trioso. The two valleys together are called, by the residents, Round Valley" From this point the river runs north a distance of 35> or 40 miles; here is another large settlement, called St. Johns, or Ill Badito, containing several thousaad acres of agricultural laDd, and millions Of acres of graz .ng country. From Col. J. c. Hunts ranch the river runs nearly west for 50 miles, to where it is joined. by another stream Chevalon's Fork. The distance from the headof the river to the mouth of Chevolon's Fork is about 125 miles, following the course of the stream. The first tributary is a small, stream from the south, without any name. The next is the NutriOso. as already mention ed above. The two valleys to. gether are called "Round Nalley,"~ and contain about 1000 acres of rich, alluvial soil. The valley is surrounded by high, basalt mesas, and in the sides of their cliffs are numerous caves containing rude implements of agriculture, also thousands of bows and arrows, etc, etc, that were used by the former inhabitants of this part of the country. From the mouth of Cheva,on's Fork, the course of the Li:tle Colorado is north west, and continues this direction until 1t eInp,ias into the Grand Cobra do de. P2n,.ente.
