COMMITTEE WORK.
what Committees VIII sit During the
Recess of Congress.
[Cincinnati COMMEMORATE

WASHINGTON, June 20-The CessiOn, which
closed it's labors in big drunk, left more than
a usual number of committees to work dur
ing the recess. First, the Potter committee,
which sinks the others in Importance, al
though they haven't found anything yet
worth the money the affair COSTS unless the
contradictory cross-tiring of the witnesses is
estimated as so much fun, and value set
upon 1t as wit.
Second. the Matthews committee, which has
done nothing but organize and go home. Not
q member OF it is here nor Is there likely to
be session until December, If then. NOmi-
nally, this committee adjourned to meet at the
call of the chairman, but 1t Is pretty well con-
coded by the members that there will be no
meeting until next winter when they are re-
quired to be In attendance upon the Senate.
As Senator Matthews goes out In March, the
committee will have to manifest more inter-
est in the work than they yet have, or he will
cease to be Senator before they do anything.
The COMMITTEES on Military Reorganization
will meet during the summer here. About
July 20 they will come together again at
White Sulphur Springs and refreshen their
ntelleCts with mountain bree1es and sulphur
water. Burnside is chairman of this commit
tee and they will not worry themselves down
with hard work this hot weather.
We have now reached the fourth committee
which Ia to do something during the recess.
This is the Hard Times Committee, of which
New York Hewitt is chairman. They are in
strueted TO inquire into the causes Of hard
times, why industry languishes and trade Is
depressed, and labor has not adequate re-
ward

Our Progress In wealth.

Notwithstanding the times, it is doubtful IL
the country ever made greater or more rapid
progress in substantial wealth than during
the past seven years. From a comparison 0E
the statistics Of the census Of 1876 with those
furnished by the Bureau Of Agriculture for
1877, it appears that there were 81 000, $50 more
acres of land under cultivation than In 1870,
an increase OF "a per cent. The percentage 81
increase in the number of bushels Of corn pro-
duced was 221Ia Of wheat 50; frye AZ: of bag
ley IS; in tons Of hay n, and in pounds Of tor
bacco 81 per cent. The live stock over the
aggregate Of 1870 was, horses A per cent.
mules As; cows 26; oxen and other cattle 20 ].
sheep ISL; swine 18 per cent. The aggregate
increase in the number of live animals
cess of the grain crop Of 1877 over that CT
1870 was nearly 550, 900 bushels Our ex-
ports for the year ending June 30, 1877, ex-
elusive Of gold and silver, amounted to $685.

all off the ground together twice during the

foot down while in action. They also upset
accepted theories as to the shape OF the fore

The state Capital Question.
New iberia Sugar BOWL

Some Of our exchanges are very anxious to
have the State capital returned to Baton
Rouge. AS majority Of the representatives
are nearer New Orleans than any other city,
owing to the heavy population of our com
mercial metropolis, it saves mileage to allow
the capital to remain where it is, and we do
not see any serious objection to it.

The Joard then adjourned.

-The capital question has been a disturbing element in the politics and Legislation of this territory from its organization. In the near future this question will be settled, and that too in fav5r0f PhcniX or Prescott. Which shall it be is the question for Us to decide.
 As fur as the prosperity of our own town is concerned, I regard it as the leading question of the coming legis- lature. Right here some one says, The capital will be of no particular value to you" admit that the sim pie meeting of the le erislature once in twe years, d short session of the su- pfc1le court once a year, and the resi- deace of the federal officers at this place, is of no great value; but with the location of the capital is connect ed the idea, that goes out to slla world, that the place of it's location is 10 be the future central business point of the t.rritory; mn of capital come and locate as permanent citizens, in vest their means in lands, water ditches, machine shops, mlnufac,ur- ing establishments and mines, and thrift and prosperity spring up at the touch of industry. All industries are social, and one assists the other. Should this place be the capital !! We give two reasons why it should be:
 1sh N is in the great agricultural ceRr4 valley of she teFritory-of the ! fd,ure State6f Arizona. Its growth in p0pulation and wealth will be gradual, ,bht iperm1nelt. Our water supply igabundant and certain. Our soil is good, and with proper care in cultivating and blowing under, green crops may be improved far beyond its present fertility. We are not subject to the uncertain and precarious eXiSl- ence of mining town, which today is all life and tomorrow is like Gold smiths Deserted Village"
 Give Us the capital and in the near future our agricultural lands through out the valley will command good price; comfortable homes will dot our valley over, surrounded with or chards, pasture lands and vines, in closed with durable fences, and all those things which make home com fortablc and life desirable will follow in its wake.
 The second reason why Phoenix should be the capital, is: That it is about the geographical centre ef the territory, and easy of access to all. And as the meetings of the legislative body and of the supreme court arc now held during the winter months and probably will be so held in fu, ture, and as our winter climate is fine and as mild and delightful as South. crn Italy or Spain, therefore it is the most appropriate place in the terri tory for the capital. As it is m ami fest destiny that the capital will come to this place sooner or later let il come now, that the vexed question may be forever settled. To this end let Us have an earnest, honest, intelli. gent, influential, able and true work ing delegate in congress, rather thar talking machine. We have toe many of them in the States. W, want more docrs, actors, and thinkers Then should we get the capital locat
 cd here, we may be able to get an an propriation to construct capital build ings. X. D. LEMON.
