THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4, lS's.
The n euhL,c Lnnd commsaon.

A few days ago THE CITIZEN gave ,he personnel (also today the ques- lions on mining) of this Commission, which was created by the late Con gress. and its duty is thus defined by law:
 It shall be the duty of this Commis- sion 10 report to Congress within one year from the time of its organization; first, qualification of the present laws relating to the survey and disposition of the public domain; second, a sys. ten and standard of classification or public lands; as arable, iTrigable, tim Der. pasturage, swamp, coal, mineral lands, and such other classes as may be deemed proper, having due regard to humidity of climate, supply or water for irrigation, and other physl- cal characteristics third, system ol land parcelling surveys, adapted to the economic uses of the several classes of lands; and, fourth, such recon mendatiOns as they may deem wise ID relation to the best method of dispos- ing of the public lands of the Western portion of the United States to actual settlers.
 In pursuance thereof the Commis- sion seeks information in person and by circular letter. It has already held sessions in Nebraska, Utah and Cali fornia, and perhaps in other places, and it is announced part "f the body will visit Arizona. The Commissions circular has been widely circulated, many of them having been sent to people in the different towns and min ing districts of this Territory. The number of questions reaches about one hundred, some of which are trifling and mere repetitiOns, yet many are of importance, and if they receive proper attention by miners, agricui- turists, stock growers and lumbermen, the laws bearing on these interests may be amended to the advantage of all. Any person may point out defects in the land laws and suggest amend ments. The address of the Commis- sion is Postofiice Box 58j, Washing ton. D. C.

THE PHENIX HERALD appeared as q daily on the 1st, and a most creditable one, too. It has seven columns to the page-twenty-eight in all. It has a large amount Of reading matter, in cluding three columns Of general news and local telegraphic dispatches. If it does keep up as started, it will be by far the best Daily in Arizona. IL announces the ability to make the Daily a success, and judged from the Scmi-Weckly there is no mistake n this announcement It also says that everything of importance will be found in its issue, for all classes of cit izens, and our aim will be to make it a live, sprightly, newsy sheet, and a power for good to the people of this valley and Territory"

Mr.. Lusher's report to the General Assem-

IOLAl f73S, 674 As
For all the figures in his report other than
those denoting the State appointments for
four months Of 1878, Mr. Lusher acknowledges
his Indebtedness to the courtesy Of Auditor
Jumel.
Touching the question Of appointments
OF the current school fund, the Superintend-
ent says:
The parishes Of Assum ption, East Baton
Rouge West Baton Rouge, Caddo, Cameron,
East Carroll, Franklin, Ibervie, jefferson,
Madison, MOrehOuse, Ouachta, Plaquemines,
Red River, Richland, st. Charles, st. James,
st. John the Baptist and st. Mary probably
contribute more to the current school fund In
the State treasury than they receive from it
Tor the support OF schools, and that the re-
verse is the rule, In more positive manner.
In all other rural parishes The inequality OF
assessments on property throu2 hout the State
Affects this question 80 materially that it is
obviously difficult to determine what system
OF appointments would prove most euuita-
bic and just to all the parishes and to the city
OF New Orleans. 1t seems clear. however
that the city of New Orleans actually contri-
butes much the largest portion OF the current
school fund to the State Treasury, and her
claim to . larger apportionment than is now
allowed by law is worthy OF dispassionate and
deliberate consideration"

onic principalities will join aud be

the haste with which
Prince Labanof was sent

give credibility to this surmise.
Another guess anxiously heraldei

ing Post, 1--WE keep Russia at arms
length from India, the more she is

recent bargain between Russia
and China for the Province
of Kuldja Is cited as a
dangerous taste of victory for the
Gar. The English seem to think,
now that the MuscOvite bear has
tasted one drop of blood of that fat
sluggish sheep, China, nothing will
content him but the whole carcass,
and Russia, with China as a tribu-
tary, would be as dangerous a rival
as Russia with India.

GenerHi Grant at the California
Theatre.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-Gen
eral Grant attended the perform
ance OF the Color Guard at the CAL
ifornia Theatre last night. The
theatre was filed to OVERLOOKING
long before the time for the per.
Torrance had arrived, and an i'm
mense throng was shut out by the
overlooked. The boxes reserved for
the General and party were band
somely draped with national colors,
aud the same ornamentati0n car
ried around in front of the balcony.
The play was magnificently put
upon the stage, and the presence of
three full com panies of the National
Guard added to the scenic effect.
Shortly after the commencement
of the second act, the rOars OF the
enthusiastic crowd in the street
gave notice that the expected guest
had arrived. At the outer en-
trace the street in front of the
theatre for an entire block was
almost impossible on account
of the cheering crowd. In few
minutes the party made its appear
ance in the boxes, aud the whole
audience rose to their feet en- masse,
cheering and applauding continu-
ally, while the curtain was run
down until the uproar subsidized.
General Grant acknowledged the
ovation by bowling right and left,
and order being restored, the per-
formonce went on. AT the close OF
the second act, the orchestra played
the Army Quadrille dedicated to
General Grant. The General paid
close attention to the performance,
expressing his qualification plainly
by his manner.
Comments Of the New York Herald.
NEW York, September 22.-l'he
Herald says: The great Outpouring
of public enthusiasm Which greet
ed Grant on his arrival, seems like
Iy to continue so long as he remains
in San Francisco. 1t cannot be
said that the warmth and magnifi-
conce of this great demonstration
of welcome Is in consequence of the
remote situation OF California,
which allows its citizens but few
opportunities for seeing distin-
guished public men. There are few
eminent Republican statesmen or
Generals who havs not visited San
Francisco within the last four or
five years, but none of them have
stirred public feeling like Grant.
the Lsrgest Foreciosure Land SUIT
Oa Kecmrd.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22d.-The
Tribune to-day says: The fore
closure of the Maxwell Land Grant
in New Mexico is certainly the
most extensive suit of the kind
now pending in the United States,
and very probably has never been
equaled in the extent of property
affected. The mortgaged premises
embrace no fewer than 1880, 900
acres, aud include some immense
gold mines. The mortgage. with
accrued interest, amounts TO $7 600,
900. Craig has already had con-
firmed to him by the Land Office
$1,000 acres of the laud, and this he
sold last year to the Colorado Cattle
Company for $320.000. His success
thus far has only whetted his appe-
lite for further raids upon the pub
lie domain.
