Several well posted gentlemen, who arc familiar with every locality in Yayapai County and the people, place the population at 20 1000, or one third of the whole number of inhabitants of the Territory. This little talk about the Capitol of the Territory be- ing iB danger and about to be removed from Yavapai is all moonsbine. Might as well try to cali up the spirit of Montezuma as to contend for the removal of the Capital from Prescott, or to elect other than an Indepcnd- ent to Congress this fall.

 Probably the most selfish, ungrateful be- ing on the face of the green earth, is one John WassoH, late editor of the Tucson Citizen, and now Surveyor General. He retains his office through the interposition of Governor Mccormick. It would not sur prise us in the least, 10 hear of him defaming his friend and benefactor, Governor McCor- mick, so soon as his head is cut of, which is likely soon to take place.

 When Bob Ingersoll arrived in Buffalo, N. Y., on his recent lecture trip he found Mrs. Van Cott, the Methodist Revivalist there, and morning paper published an interview with her in which she was reported to have said that Ingersoll was but ..poer barking dog' which drew from him the following retoft.
 BUFFALO, February 24. Mrs. Van Colt:
 My Dear Madam: Were you constrained by the love of Christ to call man who neTer injured you a poor barking dogln Did yeu make this remark as Christian or as lady. Did you say these words to illus trats in some faint degree the refining in- fluence upon women of the religion you preach!

Death Of Dr.. Woodbridge.

The readers OF the Dispatch will this
morning be both startled and grieyed by the
announcement of the sudden death Of the
Rev. DIR. GEORGE WOODBRIDGE, of this city.
He has been for so many years the pastor OF
the Monumental church in this city that ne
is known to us all, and known for bis inVa-
riably kind and Christian demeanor and viz
tues. He was one OF the most eyen-tem-
pered OF men, and one OF the most faithful
to the will of the Master and to devotion to
the welfare and good Of society. He 'sbore
his faculties SO meek" and was so "clear In
his great Office that he achieved the high
fame of the sincerest and best, the most de-
yout and faithful, of the ministers OF
good and truth, of purity and love;
and the community in whose bosom he so
long lived and ministered unite in accord
ing to him the high credit Of having faith
fully fulfilled his important mission on
earth. He passes away with the regrets as
well as the blessings Of the people who
knew him so we'll, and commends his soul
to the eternal joys Of the future by their
deep sorrow and enduring respect.
A narrative of the life Of DR.. WooD-
BRIDGE, and 8 tribute to his memory, will

Speculations About War.

The quidnuncs have their hands full in
specializing upon the chances OF war OF
peace with regard to the Eastern question.
We adhere to our opinion that the war is
ended; that il will not be renewed by other
parties than those who conducted the re
cent conflict. England cannot afford to go
to war. The continental Powers cannot
and Will not permit themselves to be per-
picked and injured by war SO often waged
to crafty the caprice and jealousy of Eng
land. The everlasting Eastern question has
disguised the civilized world. 1t would be
uncomfortable to the continental Powers even
had it the dignity OF reason and justice as
a part Of its basis. But the Eastern con-
fiicts, based upon the mere jealousy and
conceit Of England, are nuisance to all
civilized people. England is tired Of it, as
all would know il her vanity and pride did
not disguise her disgust.
Russia has thrown the onus OF the initia-
ton OF bostilities upon England. and Eng
land has reciprocated the compliment. Nei-
ther will do SO perilous thing. Russia has
had war enough, and England will think
long before she sets in motion a war whose
duration might befearfully long, and which
might involve many kingdoms, and whose
consequences none could foretell.

palIy to preliminary business; such as the
report OF the Executive Committee, address
Of the Master, DC, and the appointment OF
committees.
tits said the number OF delegates 81 at

system OF representation was changes at
the Richmond meeting last year; and now,
instead Of each master OF subordinate
grange being the representative Of his
grange, there is one delegate from each
county, who casts the vote OF all the oranges
in his county.
The Grange held another session this
