EDITOR MINER :-In picking up copy of your interesting and instructive sheet. last evening-as becomes an honest burgh- CT who feels some interest in the country I noticed short article copied from the Junction City Union, concerning A. W. Cal len, particularly, and Arizona generally. It does not at all surprise the maay friends of "Old Grizzly" in this country to hear that his faith in its resources are still firm. A man of his extensive experience and sound judgement could arrive at DO other conclusion. His friends in Arizona--and their name is legion are pleased to know, that when next his genial phiz is seen on the Plaza, there is something coming after him winch will be of more real benefit to Arizona than all the capital yet invested here by the Golden State-the railroad.
 Without taking up too much of your valuable space, a word more, notice from the tenor of Mir. Csllen's letter, that seve- ral of his old neighbors, now resident in Arizona, MT. Palmer, Mir. Mitchell, Mir. Whitehair, cd d, etc, are very much dis gusted about the country generally, and seem to shankcr" badly for the grasshopper- ridden plains of their native ''Death."
 MF. Editor, it really passes comprehen- sion how people who have felt tho miseries of being ashort" in such State as Kansas, still desire to return to the land where '.store goods" are always at par, and eggs and butter and pumpkins are. 'pearls above price" It is consolation to know that the growing of few soreheads does not ex- press tue spipiep of the people in the great Mississippi vallcyi siesr-peaded business men in that section already begin to realize the situation in the future Mineral Empire of the world, and are at last beginning to see, that when nature and fortuitous cir cums.aases bsYe combined to throw good thing in their way, they will DO longer hesi-- tate.

Has Come to it st Last.

The conscience -stricKel editor or the En- terprise owns up and confesses so fully and freely, and lays b-rs traits in his own char acter so plainly that every man, woman and child, who knows him at all, can recognize him as plainly as though they saw his reflection in polished glass. It is an ele- gant pen-picture, and, were we his Father Confessor, we should be tempted. vile as he is, to grant him complete absolution. Here is the confession;
 s'An editor who betrays the unguarded assertions of hospitable friends, and who goes around town meek as Moses,' appa- rently as innocent as sheep, but really as conniving and insincere as a hungry coyote. is the darndest, cussedest, meanest scoun- drel that can be whooped up in these parts.'
 After relieving his stomach of so much of himself, he probably feels like "new creature"

The National Democratic Committee at Washington, like the Yavapai Committee, have issued an address, dated May 2sd. The purposes of the two are somewhat di- verse, however. The Washington address is to encourage Democrats to vigorous action in the coming campaign. and to try to dissqade the people from any fears of revolutionary movehaent on the part of the Democracy to unseat President Hayes. The Yavapai address is not especially en- thusiastie on the question of the coming or any future campaign. and don't care a snap about Hayes Presidency, nor whether Til den goes to Washington or to Sing Sing.

THE Bounding BANNING is in trouble.
He is an ex Ohio soldier, and chairman of
the Committee on Military Affairs in the
lnationaD House of Representatives. One
O'CoNNoR is also an ex-Ohio soldier, and
was chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs in the State House of Repre-
scntatiyes O'COSNoR turns out to have
boen n bounty-jumper, deserter, and a
criminal, who has served his time in the
Michigan penitentiary. 1t will readily be
seen that when careless writers refer reck-
lessly to the Democratic chairman of the
Military Committee of the House Of Repre-
sentatives as an Ohio bounty-jumper, SC
&c, without explaining that they mean the
State, and not the national House, General
BANNING is liable to be maligned. There
is great difference between him and hi:
Buckeye double, although the latter was
practically in favor Of reducing the army
during the war, and BANNING is in favor Of
reducing it now. Both schemes of reduc
ton, it will be admitted, are characteristi
cally Democratic.
