LETTER FROM rHdNIX.

EDITOR MINER You have seen late cartoon in lIarper's, presume, where Uncle Sam is throtting Tom Mast down into his chair, to make him keep still and be a good boy till the new Administration has had a | fair chance to show what it can and will do. Right it is, too, that it should he so. Yet, when ones own private bunion is trodden upon, and on examination of the sore, the print of the cloven foot of that old Indian | Ring is distinctly visible, the temptation to 20 quietly out behind some barn and quote i Scripture is quite strong. Here, for in stance: On the 50th of March, =, there cmanated from Washington, a call for pro- posSls for supplies for the Indian Bureau. | These proposals were to be opened in New ! York. on the Sth of May. They were in 1 bulk, but, of course, included Arizona Res ervations, and estimates could be obtained from proper authority. Now, there are several parties here in Arizona who would be glad to put in bids for certain of those supplies, and it stands to reason that they could underbid, in some things, the Eastern parties But what show had they The advertisement at large, first appeared in the Tucson Citizen of April 2lst, and the bids must he opened in New York on May Sth Does not this look a little as though there was ''cat in the meal ?"

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD.

This paper, some time since, for reasons occasion to publish a column of abuse and lies cn Gov. K. C. Mccormick, in connection with his official duties whilst Secretary of Arizona. They admitted that of their own knowledge they knew nothing wrong about Me, but could find fifty men in Los Ange- les who would make affidavit to the fact that Mccormick had kept store whilst Secretary of this Territory, said store being supplied from the CommisSary at Fort Whip ple. It seems that Major Truman, of the Star. has had occasion To pin d certain coarse haired gentleman down. for assertions made about McCormicks keeping this supply store, and the fifty men have dwindled down to pne. This same gentleman came to Ari- Zona snd started into the newspaper busi- ness at Tucson. tried to bulldoze every per son in that section, and finally fzzled out and left that place. to the qualification of very many of its good citizens Next he landed in Prescott, carried a high sail for time, tried io get office, but being a carpet bagcr and the citizens of Prescott being adverse to that class of people, he didn't sue cecd. He sheuldered his blankets, left this section. for the couutrys good. and since then has been living around through Southern California.
 For the information of our readers, VIC will state that the gentleman in question is no other than F. ". Dooner. whc. il k said. tried Ia get Mr. Mccormick to pay him
 5000 for his support Mir. Mccormick failed to see this demand. hence Mr Doom CTS groundless accG>atiens-

THE MORMoN>.

By reference to our dispatches to-day, 1t wlll be seen that these gentlemen are cyi- dently anxious to have the United States marshal few regiments of soldiers in their Territory. They are still continuing to arm themselves, and are assuming q hostile atti- tude toward the Gentiles who are living in their country. The Gentle population of Utah are becoming much alarmed at the man@uvcrings of the Normons, and are pre- paring to move their families out in case an attack is made on them from the bclligcr- entS. Brigham recently made threats in the Tabernacle. at Salt Lake, that he would spill the blood of all the Gcutilcs living within the limits of | tah; but we put it up that the old fellow hada chronic spell come over him. and wa> only making little buncomhc speech for thepurpo~c of exciting the enemies of polygamy who are scattered throughout the Territory of | tah. thinking probably. Government would send in a few thousand troops to purchase the surplus grain. etc, raised by them for which they have a slow market This k an old trick of the polygamistS. one which they practiced on the United States government R 1851, but one which they will hardly get away with just at the present time. The Govern mcnt will undoubtedly, in case the Nor mons resort to means of cruelty and blood shed. transfer Gen. Crook from his present field of operations to | tah, ana instruct him to cause an unconditional surrender of arms and the plurality of wives thus ending polvgamy in the United States for all time.

After argument, the matter was taken un- der advisement, and his Honor has intima- ted that he will file written opinion in few days. From information that may be gleaned of the probable result of the case, and from the anxiety of the Tucsonitcs to have the matter postponed, we may rest assured of the prompt removal of the Capi- tai to our town.

SIZE DOESN'T WALTZ.

Mrs. General Sherman doesn't waltz
not only does she refuse TO waltz, herself,
but she is decidedly opposed to it on the
part of other people. She says her soul re-
volts at it." That's about the way it affects
us, only our revolt 4" is always in the
stomach; but the stomach and soul are so
intimately connected that the effect is es-
sentially the same. Mrs. Sherman says:
The advocates of this dance have had their
own way long Notwithstanding all enter
misunderstanding upon and ridiculing
those who qaietly decline to participate--open-
ly and constantly Insinuating of those who
decline it, that they are therefore evil-mind-

aiingly, their only weapon, " Honi sOit qui NAL

OUR NAUGHTY WOMEN FOLKS.

The conduct OF American women while
travelling in the old world is the subject of
letter Of Mrs. c. S. Munson to the hide
pendent She says that women who profess
Christianity attend the Sunday evening en-
tainments in Germany and France. The
inclination TO do as others do leads them
astray. They crowd to see the great annual
horse race for the Prix de Paris, which is
always run on Sunday. Worse than that,
they generally visit such places as the Jar
din Mabile, and Mrs. Munson says:
II is stated in Paris that the principal sup
porters of these resorts are American ladies
and gentlemen, who pat onizc them merely
out of curiosity; and that no reputable
French lady would ever be seen entering the
portals. 1--WE know that only the outcasts of
our own society" was told, sever mingle in
such scenes ana you must accept the verdict
of the censors if you are found among those
people" The person with whom was con-
versing is "a warm friend of our nation,
prominent writer and statesman.
Mrs. Munson says, too, that American
women are the worst gamblers at Monaco.

Illinois, on the 18th inst:
MY FRIENDs:-I have been led of into say
ing more to you than | Intended, can only
close as 1 have begun, by thanking you for
the cordial welcome that YOU have given me.
II is more than personal honor and do not

what will be the future of this country.
Give US your help and We will give you our
hearty cooperation. We feel and know
that If this is done, if we can have = restora-
ton of fraternity, II we can make the peo-
pie of this country understand each other,
we feel then that there is glorious future
before the whole country. We can make il so.
We can make il so by each and all of us per-
forming in his allotted sphere his duty, and
having done that to leave the consequences
TO God. Having performed our duty, hook
ing back to the past only to gain wisdom for

that our States may all be distinct as the bill

A GOOD IDEA.

Mr.. 1. V. Williamson, a wealthy citizen
OF Philadelphia, is the executor of his own
estate. Unlike other men of wealth. who
have left the distribution of their beneso-
laa requests to posthumous agents, and
whose large commissions and legal charges
eat up a considerable percentage Of the prin-
cipal, he has preferred in his own lifetime
to distribute his surplus fortune among be-
nevolent institutions. The charges on the
settling OF estates are so great that the
widow, the orphan, and the corporate re-
cipient OF legacies are often deprived OF q
just share OF the moneys bequeathed to
them, and it is to be hoped that the good
example set by this Philadelphia citizen
may be generally followed by men Of wealth
in all parts OF the country. By so doing
they would not only be able to see their
effects properly disposed Of, but would have
The satisfaction Of knowing that their e.
