The Campaign for Congress.

The papers of the Ninth Va. Dist.
are beginning to discuss the Congress
sional question. The TazeWell NewS
seems 10 favor a free race, and no
convention. As far as we can judge,
it seems to favor Col. Dunn. The
Pearisburg Virginidn is squarely ops
posed to a convention, as matters
now are arranged. 1t wishes a per-
fectly flee fight this time. The
Pulaski People declares &c CATHEDRAL,
that either Gen. Walker, Gen. Terry
or Gen. Pridemore will be nominated,
of course it favorS q convention then.
and it would also be the opinion Of
that journal, that the matter is fixed,
for it follows the prediction with the
triumphant exclamation as IN o k e
that!' This would mean q comb
nation with Gen. Pridcmore, and We
very strongly doubt whether Gen.
PridemOre would cOsent to be a par
ty to any such bargain. There are
others who aided in nominating Gen.
Pridemore, and who have not yet
called on his friends to return the
favor. But be all this as it may. the
contest is by no means so wholly de-
cided as we see it. Gen. Pridemore
is pledged not to be a candidate, and
will keep his word,
The ~aspjrants mentioned for the
position may be enumerated as fol-

THE FUNDERs ARGUMENT.

THE FUNDERS ARGUMENT.
The Lynchburg VIRGINIAE, in
It's article headed "Readiu:ter's
Logic" exhibits impotence, hyper
criticism and superlative honesty,
Of which latter it seems to claim
almost a monopoly. 1t plays OIL
the word PERSONNEL to exhibit an
amount Of learning superior to that
of the NEWS, which happened to
use but one N in the photography
Of that word. 1t is poorly pleased
that We spoke Of the State Court,
while it spoke Of the Federal
Court, and It says:
1--WE are not surprised. however,
that IN this way he returns 10 KS NUT
ton"
As the NEws simply returned to
its Button, the query arises why
epell Button with an NJ! The
literary inelcgance of commencing
its paragraph IS abiding to "oUR
CONTEMPORARY" and, before even
ending it, to violate pronoun usage
and propriety by changing HE and
HIS, is hardly pardonable in a vol
uutary critic. But enough Of this.
We only reaat to show the reed on which it
lent,
It is sufficient for rs now to say
plainly hat the VIReINIAN lie the
spologist and champion of the
possessors Of the stolen sovereignty
Of the State. 1t is enough to state
that il is fighting for the perPetus-
ton and further extension Of the
Funding BIZ, which Senator Dan
irl, in its own city, will tell it was
gotten up by a corrupt LOBBY against
the will and wishes of the people
Of Virginia. 1t is enough for US
70 state that the VmGINIAN calls
the outrage a "contract," and fights
e,r ;te uosscssion rs such. 1t SAYS
our opposition 20 all this SIS OF a
piece" with certain 'despicable"
conduct on the part Of Grant
The conduct Of Grant in selecting
for vacancies on the Supreme
Court may have cen."despicable,"
and the course Of the ReadiusterS
of Virginia it may pronounce to
be "of a piece with it, but if it.
be despicable, the course by which
the sovereignty Of Virginia was
stolen in 1871 was Infamous, and
tho sanctifying Of it as "a con-
tract" is monstrous.
In its previous issue the FIRGIN-
IAN uses this language:
,tGur pcople In Virginia are straiten-
ed and depressed. In almost every
county a large number of farms are
upou the market, while the price OF
real estate is ycer by year becoming
lesg ard less. In Underwater ana
Piedmont Virginia lands sell from
three 20 six dollars that are intrinsic
cslly worth twenty. The farmers, To
nae a homely phraee. barely make
buckle and tongue meet"
Yet the remonstrance Of these
people against paving war interest
twice compounded, after the de-
~struction Of the slave basis of the
debt, is to be treated by the NR-
etxIAN as dishonesty, and damned
90 wantcn Reputation, and it de-
mands increased taxation on these
g. 30 dollar lands.
We may nee strong language,
but the EIRGINIAN is first to use
snch discourtccus language as this :

 FROM LITTLE COLORADO.

Bishop Tinney, of the Little Colorado Mormon Colony, arrived here yesterday after noon, having come to answer complaint made by Roman Lopez and Juan Baca, who accuse him of burning grass on their land He admits the fact that the grass was burned but as it was caused by whirlwind which scattered fire from his camp into the dry grass, he does not feel very guilty.
 The Bishop lives at the upper settlement, three miles below the mouth of Silver Creek and twelve miles above the station of Ber- ardo Freyes on the Little Colorado, where he settled with eight other families, some thing over a year ago. Now the settlement contains twenty five families, or about 150 persons. The whole number of Mormons belonging to the Colony and living on the Little Colorado last year was about five hun. dred Now they number one thousand, and there are thirty trains, of five to twenty-five teams each, now enroute from Utah, and tho Bishop is of opinion that by another year tho community will number five thousand people. q.
 He apprehends no trouble or disagreement with the gentle population in general, in fact fhz 1aA.laEs of D>ia.> y.-havR- -nastasI mined that if difficulties ever arise it shall not be the fault of the Mormons if they the leaders--can avoid it.
 He found the snow on tho Mogollon Mountains about two feet deep, otherwise the roads are not very bad.

Lewis, the uxoricide, and Thomas Lyons, indicted for an attempt to commit murder on the person of Charles E. Frederick. We have not seen the prisoners, since their return, but understand they have entirely recovered from the effects of their long and painful ramble through the noun tains, and that they show evidence of good treatment whelc in the Mohave County Jail
 It is not likely that they will again find an opportunity of escape, Lyon should be tried at this term of the District Court, so as to send him to Yuma as soon as possible, where he will be Territorial, instead of County charge, Lewis next hold is an appeal to the Supreme Court, which will meet in a few days, and settle the matter as to wheth- CT he is to suffer the penalty af death, which the Court has already pronounced on him, or whether he is to have another show for his life, by new trial.
 In the present condition of the County finances it bchooves the authorities to dis pose of those accused of crime as soon as possible.

coLD WEATHEK.-Ti,is morning the ther- mometer in front of the MINER office indi- eated greater want of caloric in the atmos- phere. if there is such an element as calsric in nature, than at any time in several years. And if the modern theory that the heat is atoms in motion, and cold simply the ab- sence of heat, then we should say there was almost dead calm in the atomical world. The mercury touched zero at sunrise, and how much lower it had been during the night no one will propably ever know, as it isn't likely there was anybody fool enough to get up out of a warm bed to look. After the rays of the sun struck the front of the building where the instrument hangs, itIose to 20 degrees above zere, in about twenty minutes
