Poor Hayes, 1t seems, has not yet been able
to choose Collector for this port No more
ludlcrous and disgraceful piece of business
ever transpred than the perplexity of the
Fraudulent Administration over this
comparatively insignificant matter. We
care very little who poor Hayes ap-
points: but it is really ptiful and ride
ulous to see his Frauduency hesitating
between and trembling before the nu-
merous, insignificant and contemplate car
pet-baggers, scallawags and returning board
thieves, who for over twelve months have
been bowling around him for this office. In
the name of common decency let Mr. Hayes
appoint some one Of the riff-raff Collector,
even IL 1t be the ingenious patriot who holds
the certificate of our Supreme Court that he
committed felony without being guilty of
crime.

Tennessee appears to be the State moving
most earnestly IN favor Of the establishment
of State banks. The Merchants Exchange
of Nashville was the first commercial body In
the Union to take this matter up, II having
adopted resolutions, few days ago. In favor
of the repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on State
bank circulation. 1t has been decided by the
Exchange to communicate these resolutions
TO the various boards Of trade and other com
mercial bodies of the South and West. with q
request for an expression Of their views there
on. These resolutions will then be forwarded
TO Washington to aid IN the passage of the
bill introduced in Congress by Senator But
Ter and Mr.. Harris, repeating this tax on
bank circulation.

THE SHIELDS AFFAIR,

Gen. Shields stated, in an interview pub
lished in the Washington Post, that he did
not want and would not have accepted the
position Of Doorkeeper of the House had he
been elected. There can be no doubt but that
the of1icious individuals who urged him for
the position made the most offensive Use of
his honored name and illustrious character
and not from any motives OF friendship
or grateful recognition of his services
to the country, but for the base pr-
poses of demagoguery and partisan clap-trap
What their solicitude for him amounted to
is shown in the libel Sargent put upon him
by associatng him with such soldiers as
Butler, Garfield and John A. Logan In his
substitute for the bill placing Gen. Shields on
the list of retired Brigadiers We have
never, ourselves, been able to see the neces-
sity Of this bill as counter mine, on the part
of the Democrats for the simple reason that
we do not admit any possible circumstances
under which the question of which army
man may have served in during the war
should be allowed to put aside or in any man.
ner affect the question Of qualification, the
sole one that should ever be considered
All such questions have been entirely for
gotten by the people in establishing the bust
ness relations of private life, and we see no
reason why they should yet linger to perpet-
uate distinctions of brutal prejudice in public
life, 1t is high time, we are sure, that Con-
gressmen should learn to respect the intelli-
gence and humanity Of the people and to I'M
derstand that the passion and prejudice which
made them wOodcOck for such springes have
passed away. 1t was not necessary for Ben
Butler to get up and appeal to the Democratic
majority to be gentle with him-to give him
time and he would come to it-and
such like stuff, when they elected
Fields over Shields, in order to satisfy
the people of the absurdty and insincerity of
all this bathos, The people have feeling,
however, about such business, and very
honest feeling it is. 1t is Indignation at the
estimate put upon them and at the desecra-
ton OF the honored name and reputation of a
brave and gallant gentleman who certainly
merits the respect Of his countrymen, If not
practical recognition of great services in the /
shape of a handsome pension. ....=
1t is not necessary to emphasize the insin-
cerity and disrespect that has been shown
Gen. Shields in thus dragging him before the !
country, but for the benefit Of some Of these
same congressman who were so importunate
in this instance we publish an extract
from the proceedings of a mass meet
ing held at Kansas City, denouncing
their action ten years ago in seating Van
Horn as the member from that district and
ousting Shields, who had been elected by an
majority. The outrage was thus
fttingly denounced:
Nor can we forget that Gen. Shields, hav-
ing been chosen by an overwhelming ma
iority Of the voters Of this district to repre-

PRIVATE MARKETS.

After years of litigation the free market
question is yet shrouded in mystery, and con
stitutes withal a conundrum that might vel
put Dundreary on his mettle. The act of 1874
by which these institutions were sought to be
regulated, was found to be utterly imprac
ticable, and for that reason all attempt to en-,
force it was abandoned. Had the law been
enforced the technical and constitutional OBJ
jectlons to it would long ago have been set
tied by the courts and the question would
then have come up for legislative action
purely on considerations of policy. But no,
our tender hearted administrators, soictous
of the future, preferred to resort to the
methods of Mr.. Podsnap and put the trouble
some question behind them, and the result
was the act of 1873, which simply repeats the
law of 1874 and relegates the whole matter to
the city, with a vestiture of whatever author
ity the State possessed In the premises.
This leaves the matter precisely as it was
before, the interesting question being left
open as to what limitation rests on the au-
thority of the lawmakers in respect to the
government of free markets. 1t seems to us
that the city has fallen into precisely the
same difficulties that existed under the act of
1874. The ordinances it has passed are pre-
cisey OF the same character and we cannot
see that the legal exceptions to them are at
all affected by the simple RELOCATION Of the
matter to the city with vestiture of pre-
cisely the same legislative authority that
originally resided in the State.
The act of 1878 is very short and very sim
Pile. 1t merely repeats the act of 1874 and vests
the city with all the authority the State orig
inally possessed, of establishing regulations
for private markets as well as prescribing the
limits within which they may be established.
These powers are to be exercised by the city
on two provisos- of which is that it shall
not prohibit the existence of private markets,
and the other that no private markets shall be
established within a radius Of six squares Of
public market. There is nothing mandatory
on the city government In this act and it may
let the whole question alone If it chooses.
But it Is of the utmost importance that
the city should exercise whatever au-
thority is conferred upon it for the
establishment of such regulations as
may be necessary for sanitary purposes.
close examination Of the act Of 1878 will,
however, disclose the fact that these powers
may be exercised Independently OF those
which are given by the act prescribing tie
limits within which private markets may be

The Sentinel very aptly remarks The representative of the United States, at Paris, will be R. c. Mccormick: he has long been known as the represent ative of Arizona; therefore Arizona will be looked upon Tn France as the section of the United States. The logic is easy and correct. Mccormick has never yet thrown us off; not once. He will figure all over Europe as Mccormick of Arizona, 7" and advertise us with himself The value to this Territory of his appoint ment will be immense. We have got the resources; through Mccormick we shall get a chance to advertise them at Paris.

LAND in the Gila valley above and
 below Florence, is more valuable than
 many of its owners, we think, are aware. It is naturally rich and pro ductive with good tillage. Compared to the surrounding market and that of Florence, this land is limited in event. All doubt is removed as to the richness of the mines of thIs county, and an immense consuming population will be required to operate the mines. Thousands upon thousands of work animals in the mines will have to be fed from grain and fodder grown in the valley. We are informed that ranchers in Pima county are offered good prices for produce delivered in Globe District, and the demand has just begun. X little money invested in land above or below this town at the present moderate prices, would be well done: and the farmer who is will ing and knows how to operate a farm anywhere near Florence or the Pioneer and Globe districts, can surely make 9 nice income. Think Of the high prices now paid for many articles of produce in this town and in the mines, and of how many are brought from CalIfor- mia that should be raised here, and any one must see what a fine opportu- nity there is here for the thrifty farmer
