THE railroad and steamboat warehouses and freight sheds are not nearly large enough to accommodate the increasing freights of Arizona Consigned goods are drayed away to warehouses in town until they can be loaded on teams for the inte- rior. For all that goods are piled up in a confusion apparently ineXtlicable. The clerks are the hardest worked men in this Territory, and if business does not fall of the company will have to hlrc more help or get men that can work 30 hours a day. Their charge for storage is twenty-five cents per ton per day. At these rates it seems as if they could afford to build ware houses large enough to accommodate y,atrO1S

THE railroad bridge is not toll bridge nor can any tolls be legally collected for crossing it. But it is placed in charge of the ferryman, who allows teams to cross ii on payment of the regular charge for fer riage. No charge is made for footmen. The California legislature made Jim Farley a senator; perhaps they can be induced tc make ours a toll bridge, if the railroad folks ask that also.

CASTLE DOME still stands to the front. A number of mining interests up there have been consolidated and taken in hand by the Castle Dome Smelling & Mining Co.,, a strong corporation having head quarters in San Francisco. Their works will be on the bay. The difficulty of buy ing silver ores down here for working with the rich lead ores of Castle Dome makes it more profitable to smelt at San Francisco. This was always advocated by Vim. P. Mill CT and should have been done years ago. We are glad to see him connected with the new enterprise.

A MAGNIFICENT meteor fell near Yuma last Friday afternoon, aboutan hour before dark. As 1t struck our atmosphere it be- came incandescent and during its fall glowed with an intense white light. It converted the atmospheric moisture into steam, leaving behind it a straight white line. This was soon curved by air cur rents and floated away. The meteor itself must have been body of many tons weight and seemed to fall among the hills around the Pot Hole, near the Colorado river

THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

At the late election i'll California the ques-
ton of calling Constitutional Convention
was submitted to the people. The number
of votes in favour of the Convention is given,
in round numbers at 1880, to 100000
against it. But the fact is also made appar-
ent that the majority thus shown is not a
majority of ali the votes cast, the round NUM-
Der of which is, 144000 So there is a ques
ton, and the Bulletin remarks that this will
bring up the old controversy as to the kind Of
ma jority necessary to carry Convention. 1t
is held on one side that ma iority of all the
votes cast for members of the Legislature is
required, under the Constitution, and not a
majority of the votes on the proposition. An
effort to call Convention was made several
years ago, with result the same as that
which is likely to have taken place this year.
The Legislature was not able to agree what
sort of majority was necessary, and the
Convention was not called. The question is
one that rests almost exclusively with the
Legislature If it should decide that Con-
vention has been authorized by the people, we
do not see how its action can be set aside.

THE OPPOSITION TO SENATOR CONK-
LING.

The attempt made by the malcontents and
boilers, Fenton men, Hayesites andsoreheads
in general to defeat Senator Conkling has been
frustrated His enemies have been most
thoroughly and ANONYMOUSLY beaten. A
Rochester correspondent indicates, as follows,
the sort of fight these mean spirited foes have
been making against him: at is not possible"
says the writer, ''to exaggerate the acrimony,
the zeal, the tireless energy of these elements.
They pursue the Republican Senator night
and day in every part of the State They dog
his footsteps They watch his movements,
They spy into his correspondence. They lie
in wait for his supporters i'll primaries, town
caucuses, and county conventions. But thus
far in the contest he has proved more than a
match for his all enemies The first attempt
to flank the Senator was made in his own
county in the matter of the State Senatorshir.
His district is composed solely of Oneida, and
preliminary skirmish was in Rome. Mr..
Conkling carried all the Rome candidates
except one And yet, to produce an effect in
the other parts of the State, his foes
caused to be sent over the wires that he was
beaten in Rome, and they used such language
as would lead to the inference that he would
lose his own county, There is no doubt that
the author of these misrepresentation of the
actual facts of the case is the Hon. Ellis II.
Roberts, editor of the Utica Herald, and for
merly Republican member of Congress. He
is the leader of the opposition to Mr.. Conk-
ling in Oneida and other central counties. u

OF the arrest of supposed culprit, the
Elko Independent of Sept. % says: Consid
cradle surprise was created here last eveding
by the arrest, on the charge of robbery, of a
delicate young man with rather pious cast
of countenance, who by his gentlemanly
demeanor and the development of an indus
trious disposition shown by his readiness to
become an object of general utility, has made
himself useful in various capacities, during
the past few days hereabouts. Though child
like and bland, it appears that the aforesaid
has several aliases, but his real nome is said
to be F. NJ. Treceder, and he is charged with
completely with the express robbery at Salt
Lake on the 10th of September 1876. 1t ap-
pears that he has for some time, been an
object of solicitude on the part of various
detective officers, and upon information from
Utah, he was arrested by Deputy Bill Baugh,
and he is being held here pending the arrival
of an officer from Utah with requsition The
appearance of the young man is largely in his
favor, but unfortunately they are sometimes
awfully deceptive, though it is to be hoped
that they may not be, in this instance

HAYES AND THE COLORED REPUB.
LTCANS OF THE SOUTH.

at is noteworthy fact" says the Sun,
''that as Hayes travels at the South the cheers
he receives are not given by the negroes. They
look on him as man who has deserted their
cause. Jay Gould's Tribune speaks espec-
tally of this in its glowing dispatches about
the progress of the Fraudulent President.
Hayes snubs the black citizens, who were al
most the only support in the South of the
Republican party, and bids for the favor of
the whites, who are nearly unanimously and
irrevocably opposed to that party. No won
der the old Republicans are Disguised with a
man they put in Office, who is vainly seeking
the support of their enemies. While Hayes
will gain no Southern votes for the Republ
cans, he has lost to them the blacks, besides
splitting the party at the North.

THE PATENT OFFICE FIRE.

Regarding the recent ire in the Patent
Office Building the Commissioner of patents
makes the following official announcement:
apart from the damage done to the building
the pecuniary loss occasioned by the fire is
not very great. No files of pending applica-
tons were lost or damaged, and no original
drawings, except in very few cases, were
destroyed. The drawings destroyed were
only of one issue, and of these Photographic
and photographic copies have been made, so
that no inconvenience will arise from the des-
truction a considerable quantity of photo
graphic and photographic copies were burned,
but of these in no case were all copies burned
of one patent, as part of the copies had been
preserved by storage in another room, which
was uninjured. There will be no interruption
of business of the office. The examination of
applications will go on as usual and patents
will be issued without delay"

We are informed by telegraph that the
New York Sun, speaking of the Rochester
convention says: "It cannot be said in this
case that Conkling controlled a convention
of office holders and parasites. 1t was con-
vention of staunch, old time Republicans, who
have been the backbone of the party since its
foundation, and who now give it all the
strength it has, and without whom it could
not retain even the sham of existance.
There is no sort of doubt that the Sun tells
the truth regarding the character of the con-
vention. If it had been composed of political
exquisites and coxcombs such as objected in
Hotspur's presence that the soldiers bore
dead bodies "between the wind and their
nobility" Mr.. Curtis and not Mr.. Conkling
would have been its leader. But the pillow
and not the pouncet box prevailed and Mr..
Curtis was invited to back seat.
