The Arizona sentinel., 1877-12-15
Arizona in Congress.

W t are III receipt Ol DlilS, IltFt = duced in the House of Represer
 tatives by Hon. H. s. Stevens (
 Arlzona, from which we eXtrlc
 the following.
 163J. The council of Arizona shall COT
 sist of thirteen members, and the house , representatives of twenty-seven member
 794 That there be appropriated the SUI
 of twenty-scven thousand dollars to b
 used, under the direction of the Secretar
 Of War, in the construction and repair (
 military roads in the Territory of Arizona
 as follows, namely: From Camp Verde t
 Sunset Crossing, fifteen thousand dollars
 for i'm .Drovement and repairs of mail roa,
 from Prescott to Camp Mcdowell. SIX thou saud dollars; from Prescott to Skull Val
 ley. SIX thousand dollars.
 Now that is all right, but it looks as if Steve is going torun for offic ( aglin a' d is trying to striigh en the hair ut in Yavapai county; that county is to be furni i>hed with legislative votes enough tu completely run ths. next lpgisla- ture, divOrce3 and all; all the money for lhe improvement of road is to be spent there, to pro- pitiate the sore heads who voted for Hardy last year. Yuma coun- ty went almost solid for Steve and he must think we shall do it again anyhow, though not even a pitiful $lOO0 is to be expended to open d gilt edged road from here to Ty- sons. via Laguna and Castle Dome a road that would give Us all the Prescott and Mohave travel, to thelr great advantage as well as Oul5. The rdilro al folks must be afraid of losing the valuable fran. chise we gave them through the last legislature, or else that Iron Mountain toll road and other mat ters of bonds must be coming to a head and throbJing in Yivapai Here is the pouItice to allay the pain, in House bill 793:
 That all of the acts .assed or purporting ! to have been passed by thc ninth legisla. ] i've ai3en ply of th4 T6rr tDrJ f Arg ma 1 ,"mmencing January 1. \ D 16,1, be, | and the ane are hertbi, declared to be ! egai and valid laws and il full force and i effect in said Territory of Arizona
 That will settle all questions ,rising under he ll>t census; the next one is to be dried and cut after this pattern, named in the same bill:
 The secretary of the Territory is to make pporti0nment of members of the tenth legislature accord ng to population of ountleS. The governor is to appoint d cen Us marshal, who will appoint deputies. he census To be completed between fap|.I and July 1. 1875.
 Ample punishment is provided y the bill for neglect of this duty ut,oddl.y enough, no compensation 5 provided for it's discharge. This utter fact robs the office of census of all attractions for our :, Democratic friends and it will , be filed by some misera- ' le Republican ''keyarpet-bagger" C 7hO q dn't come into the country i'll 1919. If Steve wants to go to OngresS aglin he must look to I 'uma and MOhaVe to send him f lere. Good mails for MOhave, il loney for prison at Yuma, and O lOney for rOIds in both counti.s S ' re the cards that vii! win him the V anlf. In Yavap,i the fight will |, 2 a lrilngultr one; in M ,ricopa ley are all chieftains and each h lan wi vote for himself; Pima d. ld Pinal make stand-off, and P le Colorado river walks off with o 'e deleg lte. ne railroad influ- ~ ice counts for nothing, unles. ,e ks let Blnning bluff lem, which nj ey won't; Chinlmen cannot vote q ld we can colOnize Mexicans, m lder the llst llw, faster than the tr iirOad can run in brakemen-and o' IF men will Outswear them any,
