PETITIONS have been circulated by James Reilly, asking Governor Hoyt to appoint him a Notary Public and asking the Governor of Texas to make him Q Commission CT of Deeds. His persistence and a dread of incurring his animOsity have secured quite a number Of signatures. including those of sev- eral excellent citizens. Reilly's antecedants and his more recent record do not prom ise that his future course will reflect very much credit upon either of the Gov eTnors named, should his ap- plicati0ns be granted.

LIEUT.. READE invites proposals for telegraph poles for reconstruc- tion of line at points between Yu- ma, Stanwix, Maricopa, Florence, Tucson and each and every mile along the present route of line, or in piles of twenty-five each, equi- distant, one such pile to every mile. Or proposals will be entertained to receive such poles actually set up in the ground, in which latter case holes four feet deep may be dug, one such hole every 211 feet, and the pole with bracket properly attached, firmly planted therein.
 Redwood poles 20 feet long, exc at butt 4x4 at top, will be received. Also sawed, sound pine poles, clear lumber, 2 feet long, exc butt, 6x4 top. No round poles less than p feet long, straight, sound, parked, trimmed. close, free from imper- fections which would impair their strength, and at least six inches in diameter at small end, or 27 inches in circumference, bark off, at a point four feet from the butt end. These are the only ones for which proposals will be entertained. All interested are invited to address ] him at San Diego.

COL. A. N. TOwNE, general su- perintendent of the Southern Pa cific railway, in a business letter received here this week, speaking of railroads in Arizona, says The railroad system of the States, and especially one for Arizona, is a supreme necessity. What you most need there is a ready market for the products of your country, and it is the intention of our people to offer all possible encouragement to the citizens of Arizona in any business enterprise. AS they see more of us, and the system and it's advantages in drawing to them capitalists and capital, the more they will appreciate the efforts of our people to secure them commit nication with the outside world. There is no money for us in the business now, but we are hopeful | for the future.-[ Citizen.

Judge Fawcett, setting on the District Court Bench, has granted restraining order against the Southern Pacific railord, on mo- ton of the City Attorney, enjoin- ing the company from extending the track of the Santa Monica line to connect with the main road. 1t seems that the railroad com pany have secured no franchise from the city, either for building their track on lands purchased by them, or for crossing streets beyond the present San Pedro street depot. There are certain conditions lying back of this movement on the part of the city government, which we shall note and comment upon hereafter.
 The reasons for instituting this action against the railroad com pany seem to be perfectly valid and are of two-fold importance. In the first place, the good of the entire community demands that the Municipal Council should have full, complet end absolute control, under the provisions of law, of ali the public streets and thorough fares of the city. The franchise, acquired by the Southern Pacific road in their purchase of the San ta Monica line, extends DO further than the present depot on San Pedro street, and thus far, and no further, are they authorized to maintain a railroad track. With out so much as saying By your leave' to the city authorities, the Company has proceeded to acquire the right of way across interven- ing lands to Alameda street, and thence would be compelled to cross First street and portion of Ala meda to make the required con- nection. This route had been clear ed of Instructions, and last FriGay or Saturday, track-laying was commenced. Indeed, they ex- pected to have the lines connect ed by Sunday Los Angeles Ex- press.

Prescett's Population Over Half Gone Within 8 Ycar--TerribIe
 Mortality or Abandonment.
From the Citizen.l

TUCSON, August P, 1877.
 EDITOR CITIZEN When not many months ago the people of Southern Arizona charged through your columns and those of the ARIZONA SENTINEL, that the cen sus of Yavapai county was grossly exaggerated, and that the Super visOrs thereof had criminally ap- proved the same, the Prescott organ of the fraud rushed valient- ly to the defense and filled its columns with villificatiOn of the people of Pima county, and with vehement assertions that the cen- sus was honest and fairly taken. By that census Prescott was given a population of $500. In the weekly edition of the organ for August 17 is found, smuggled away in the local intelligence, this interesting paragraph:
 New York City has one lawyer to every $50 of her population. Prescott has about 1900 inhabitants and over twenty gentlemen of legal profession who practice in the diff ferenJ courts.

Good Enough.

It seems that l.. NJ. Jacobs & Go. were not victimized after all by the clever telegraphic swindle report ed last week. It seems they re- quired MT. Daniel Holland to be identified before paying him the $500 His fears were aroused that some suspicion was entertained of him and he decamped. The "signs" are faint, though there is a slight clue, there being but three persons in the Territory supposed to be capable of the sWindle, theil whereabouts at the time will be investigated and other indications followed up. Under the circum. stances it is to be regretted thai Mess. Jacobs x Go. have failed to give description of the man call. ing himself Holland.

LIEUT.. A. w. GREELY, Fifth Cavalry & Acting Signal Officer and Inspector arrived this week, having inspected the Military te- legraph line and offices, throug h Texas and New Mexico. He con- demns severely this old line as being scarcely serviceable and the late reductions in rates will im- posibilitate any repairs from re- ceipts. We are glad to learn that Lieut.. Greedy appreciates the diff faculties Lieut. Reade has had to struggle against and reports that he knows of no officer who could have done SO much and so well with so little expenditure. This commendation coming from such asource is very gratifying to Lieut.. Reade and his many friends throughout the Territory. Both these gentlemen leave to-day for San Diego, thence to Campo, when they will take trip to Santa Cruz, Monterey etc., to experiment with different varieties of red wood and get facts as to durability &c. from practical lumbermen. We bid them good-speed.

ONE of the evils that have crept into the management of our rai.- roads, especially in the Atlantic States, has been the selection of incompetent persons to take the lead and direction of affairs. As a general rule man educated in mercantile affiirs has no partiular qualification for the duties of a railroad president or manager. though there are prominent ex- captions to this rule. The late Josiah Stickney who, perhaps, more than any other gave cOnfi- dence to the various railroad en- terprises, in New England was an educated merchant. His connec- ton with the Boston and Worces- ter & Western R. R. Co.,, explains the influence he obtained over those engaged in these undertak- ings. He saw at the outset the ne- cessity of making the carrying trade of the country subservient to the interests of trade and con- merce. He argued that railroad line terminating at Worcester, a mere local line within a days leaning of Boston, could not effect the object desired to annihilate space and bring theproducts of the country in close communication with the markets of the country. Other notable exceptions are John k. Lyon, Emmons Raymond, &c. Onslow Stearns is a railroad man by training, experience and by railroad instinct. AS a contractor he was eminently successful, and in no school can the element of successful railroad management be better learned than in that of contracting. Sidney Dillon, H. H. Bond, and Edward Larned are examples that will be recognized the world over. These are men who are able to control adverse elements for the reason that they have thoroughly understood the material of labor they had to con- tend with.
 Col. Tom A. Scott, of the Penn. sylvania Central railroad, is, per haps, the most brilliant example of a railroad manager 10 lhe manor born," From beingappoint- ed a detective, while his father was a contractor, he rose, to the position ofconductor; then he was appointed assistant superinten- dent, under J. Edgar Thompson, and now he is by far the greates; railway magnate and manager in this country. His experience. how ever, has taught him just how io deal with labor and material, the late trouble to the contrary not. withsiandiDg. There is possibly
