"IN FAVOR OF SUBMITTING" !"

Potter can stroke his side wliskers now with the cemplacency of man who has lost his occupation. Ben Butler can abandon the Congressional investigation and play Siamcsc Twin with Kearney in and about Massachusetts, and Mrs. Jenks can-well
 Mrs. Jenks can go home, for the Democracy of Maricopa county, in convention assembled, have proclaimed to breathless and listen ing nation
 "That while we note the fraud and de "spise the perpetrators of the fraud which "resulted in the defeat of the National De- "mocracy at the last Presidential election, "yet We are in favor of submitting" etc.
 We breathe more freely, the country
 brethes more feely, the fraudulent President
 can now without fear initiate his fraudulent
 lungs, and walk around and get his fraudu- lent wind, as it were, for the fiat of Phenix Democracy has gone forth in favor of sub hitting"
 As one who looks back at precipice over which he might have tumbled, we gaze with mingled emotions of awe and relief upon the adjourned Maricopa County Democratic Convention. Suppose that it had not been composed of calm-eyed, county philosophers and governed by discreet precinct states men! Suppose that its members had not been content with noting" the fraud, and ''despising the perpetrators" and speaking s'cuss" words of the electoral commission in general and old to : Bradley in par ticular. Suppose that they had resolved that they tc0uld aot submit: what would have been the consequencesl The lightning would have flashed the 1ire intelligence 10 the convulsed commercial centres of the country. Banks would have closed, the stock exchange would have been draped in mourning, railroads would have stopped, men would have rushed to the armories and women would have commenced picking lint. Grain would have advanced in puce all the way from Odessa to Hsyden's Mills, and brass for cannon and things would have commanded high price in the market, all on account of the determined attitude of the Maricopa county democracy.
 We are glad that our Democratic friends in Phoenix concluded no. to vex the peace and overturn tho commercial quiet of the country by ROt submitting but while we thank them for the moderation evinced in their second resolution, we wonder if they were altogether wise in adopting their third resolution advising their 'brethren in all the other counties of the Territory to organ | izc without delay"
 Do the democracy of Maricopa feel sure, can they feel sure, that their "brethren" in ] the other counties will be controlled by the | same far-reaching judgment, the same en- frightened statesmansilip, the same unselfish impulses, the same profound consideration for the commercial interests of the country which radiated, as it were, from Judge AL sap's back office. and enccmpaSsed the Ph@- nix convention with an enlightning and in- spring haloi
 Suppose the brethren in the othercounties' should csvort. Suppose the Democratic Yamatics, the Nasbys of Pinal, the Jack ,onisns Pimanians, the Jeffersonian Yava- psisters, and the butternut breeched chill iren of Mohaye should assemble convention md, declining to listen to the statesmanlike of the Democratic divinity of Haricops should resolve not to submit Think of the consequencesl Pause, sires efectl
