Hallway Extension ana The Arizoua
Mines.

1t is much to be hoped that the
transcontinental railway on the
line below the snow belt shall be
pushed rapidly forward, whet her by
Stanford or Scott. We have often
given our reasons at length for pre-
ferring that Stanford rather than
Scott should build the road, under
proper Congressional regulations
insuring its being run in
the interest of the people,
but its building by somebody
is to-day o paramount necessity.
1t is now too thoroughly estab-
lishcd to admit of dispute that
Arizona is full of gold and silver
mines whose working would be
highly profitable if cheap Transport
tation could be had. Under the
present system only those lodes are
worked whose ores assay high
enough to admit of their being
concentrated and shipped to San
Francisco. Experience has shown
that the territory is intersected in
every direction by veins small on
the surface, assaying very high
there, and running together in a
low grade ore at some little depth.
II these ores could be worked on
the ground, the prosperity of Ari-
IONA as mining territory would
be assured.
Cheap transportation is abso-
lutely essential to the working of
these mines. With the Southern
Pacific completed even as far as
Tucson, Arizona would soon fill up
with q population which would
consume our products. Our wines,
brandies, oranges, bacon, beef,
barley and flour ought to find q
remunerative market in Arizona
when the full tide of immigration
has set that way. Not only that,
but very many Of the hardy pros
pectors and mining superintend-
ents, who would be attracted there,
would purchase homes for their
families In Los Angeles, which
would be at just the right remove
to admit Of frequent intercourse.

BY request of Mr.. M. ID. Boruck,

IT is probable that q tardy act OF

Fitz John Porter. We are glad to
note that the President has directed
q Court of Inquiry to be held to as
certain whether or no injustice had
been done by packed Court Mar
tial to that gallant officer. Porter
was sacrificed to Republican big
otry, and we heartily hope that the
long-continued wrongs endured by
him will be redressed. His crime
was his known devotion to Gen
Mcclellan and the necessity fol
finding a scape-goat for the stupid
laundering of Major-General John

We don't think Los Angeles has
ever derived from any single
source the benefits certain to flow
from the development of the vast
and rich treasure deposits of our
neighbor. Always when we en-
counter a slight check to our
growth here-a sort of breathing
interval-very many of our people
become respondent and think that
the old brisk times are gone for
ever. This is the heighth of folly.
Both Los Angeles county and Ari-
IONA are but in the infancy Of theil
growth, and both will advance III
about the same latio. The one de-
slderatum is the hurrying up Of
railway intercourse.

Downey Etcn,S.
From tie Courier. !

Mr.. Hunting, who, a short time
since, sold his place here and re-
moved with his family to Oregon,
has returned and intends to stay.
He has travelled a great deal over
this State and Oregon, and has
made up his mind that there is no
section that can compare with our
own favored county of Los Ange-
les.
The parties who have the brick
yard, at Fulton's, are nearly ready
to burn one kiln, and while this is
burning they will be preparing for
another. Mr.. John Mitrovich, of
this place, has contracted for forty
five thousand of these bricks with
which to erect his store. We hope
this enterprise will prove a success
full and permanent one. We need
home industries. Let us encourage
them by all means in our power.
There will be q large amount of

Material for sne Convention.

AS barely two months will elapse
before the people of this county
will be called upon to elect men,
bers to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, it is high time that some at
tention were given to the subject.
We notice that the county Com
mittees of the several parties in the
upper portion of the State are al
ready beginning to put themselves
in motion. We have congratulated
the Democratic party ON the excel
lent material which exists in this
county for members Of the Consti-
tutional Convention. We do not
know that there are any avowed
candidates In the field, but some
discussion of suitable men for the
trust has reached our ears. We
have frequently heard the name of
Gen. Volney E. Howard mentioned
by his friends. Gen. Howard is
confessedly one of the ablest law
yers in California and has given
much attention to constitutional
questions. In addition to his tech
meal and professional fitness for
the task, he is man of great nat
ural and acquired ability and an
experience in legislation which
has embraced several States and
the National Congress. Hon. VIM.
H. Stephens is also prominently
mentioned in connection with the
Convention. Mr.. Stephens is a
fine lawyer and one of the most
forcible and eloquent speakers on
the Coast. He has before partici-
pated in Constitutional Conven.
tions in the section from which he
halls, and he is characterized by
great breadth and activity of intel
lect. He would make an invalua-
BILE member. Ex-State Senator
Bush is also regarded by his friends
as the right man for seat in the
Convention. He is a gentleman of
incorruptible character, has made
o good record as legislator;
and, while not a very
finished speaker, he is capital
organizer and worker. Col. John
F. Godfrey has been settled upon
by many Democrats as a man who
has, to O marked degree, all the
requisites for the position. His
mind is of an eminently practical
bent, he is thoroughly read law
yer; and, in our opinion, one of the
most persuasive and logical takers
in the State. As representative of
the Granger interest Mr.. J. de
Barth Shorb is much spoken of as a
gentleman who could give useful
suggestions to the Convention Oh
topics of permanent interest to this
county.
We have in our minds eye a
dozen other Democrats who would
make admirable members of the
Convention and who, we believe,
could be elected. A ticket made up
of Democrats whose ability and
! character are admitted by every
one would keep Los Angeles county
inflexibly in the Democratic line.
We shall be pleased to receive COM
munications from Democrats inter-
ested in putting forward our best
men. Personally we have no
preferences, and we only desire the
success of the party and the en-
trusting of the work of making our
organic law to men who will Get in
the interest of the people.
