Fremont and Arizona.

General Fremont leaves New York to take the gubernatOrial chair of Ari- zona on the 24th instant with a suite of twelve persons, among them his son, who is to act as his Private Score tary, thus displacing the present in cumbent, NIT. Anderson. They will stop at San Francisco several days, and on their arrival at Yuma will take government transportation, furnished by Major Lord, A. Q. NJ. at Yuma de- pot by order of the Quartermaster General. Among Governor Fremont's staff are gentlemen representing capi- talists of the East, who are coming to investigate the mining districts of tbe Territory, and probably with the inten- tion of investing money in the interest of the poor Pathfinder. The appoint ment of General Fremont 10 the gov ernorship of Arizona leads many to think that an attempt will be made at an early date to bring Arizona in as a State, and that there is a Senatorship in the near future for the impoverish- ed explorer. The governorship may look like an inferior office for the first Republican presidential candidate to accept, but with the prospect of ma nipulating the mines of the Territory and being the first Senator from the new Slate, his ambition will be grati fled. The facts mentioned above we get from gentleman just in from Yu- ma, where they are we'll known in ofll- cial circles.-L. A. Star.

to find anything more interesting to discuss
than the preservation of the results of the

idle, factories closed, and thousands of men

resolutions about Judge Bradley and what
they call the great conspiracy: No wonder
the unrest of the country finds expression in
workingmen's organization, and broadly win
