Meteor0iogy.

The permanent committee of the Vienna Meteorological Congress have just paid the United States the high compliment of recommending to a proprosed second congress the adop- ton throughout the world of plan for exchanges of data for simultaneous weather maps or other purposes, simi- lar to one first organized for the Unit ed States by General Myer, the Chief Signal Officer, in 1873, and which had been continuously pursued by the Signal Service to this day.
 The features of this exchange, as set on foot by the United States, are as follows:
 1st. The Signal Office of the United States asks all countries to make and record daily, on land and sea, one simultaneous weather observation al the same exact instant of time.
 2nd. The United States then ex. changes with each country separately making an especial request of each to establish such exchange.
 3rd. Each country sends to the United States every fifteen days its own observations; all are thus received by the United States.
 4th. The Signal Office of the Unit ed States then collates and prints all its own co-incident observations in cluded. and returns in this shape tC every regular observer, who has sent continuously a single report, the re ports gathered from almost the whole northern hemisphere. For one report sent regularly by any regular observer anywhere, on ship or shore, he re ceives 800. and these 300 surround and cover nearly the northern hemisphere Ii has been the theory of the Chiei Signal Officer that, with such informa ton so widely diffused, a great deal oi work will be done by separate observ CTS in every country which will be oi use to all. but which the solitary ob server alone could never think of un dertaking unless the data have beer thus laid down before him. The Unit ed States need the data for themselves and they help besides an internationa union of brains as well as hands.
 For nearly six years this exchange originated and conducted by the Sig nal Service of the United States, ha. been perfectly successful, almost every civilized nation north of the equator has taken part in it. It has made pos sible for the first time in the history of the world the preparation of { daily simultaneous map of the north ern hemisphere. at Washington, (thii also is sent to each Observer,) and ha. probably advanced the study of prac tical meteorology as far as any under taking in the last century.

Customs Matters.

Special Revenue Inspector Zabriskie, of this District, has just returned from tour of the country southeast, whith- CT he went to look out for the interests of the Government in the matter of its revenues from imported goods ; and he has made a report to the De partment which will probably render this portion of the District more inn portant in the eyes of officials He finds that the office at Tucson is allow ed but two inspectors, whose duty it is to patrol the whole of the long iron tier line between Arizona and Sonora. Practically, they must look out for about ROO miles of country. Hereto fore they could perform the service well, because everything came to Tue son; now, however, the rapid increase of population to the southward has not only increased the amount of goods brought in, but it has caused the rise of numerous small mining centers, where large quantities are stopped. The Inspector found in and about Charleston, some $10,0O0 worth of goods smuggled in within two months, and information gained from other sources shows that a similar trade is carried on elsewhere. He will therefore recommend that new GUS toms offices be established at Arivaca, Patagonia and Charleston, believing that they will be sufficient for the pres ent

ARMY officers will note that all the various propositions for army reduc- ton and reorganization have, by com mon consent, been abandoned for this year. and all officers may free their minds from anxiety as to COngressiOn- al legislation, at least until next Win ter Anything, then, done on this sub ject will be prospective in its action so they are now practically secure m their positions until the Army ApprO- priatiOn bill for the year commencing July lst, 1880, shall be enacted, and doubtless, also, until it shall have gone into effect at a date fifteen months dis tant. The present bill proposes to stop promotions above the rank of Captain, but before it can become a law the Senate will probably have confirmed the nominations now pend ing, which provide for all the army promotions now possible, in which event the threatened stoppage will ai- feet very few officers while it lasts Press Dispatch.

4 COURT ROOM FIGHT.
GiadrorioI Show ID the City crImiEu. Court Room Between George H Tyler and Thomas Ftcb-A
 SdY1qe Battle.

The above caption appears in the San Frandisco Bulletin of March 29. The trial of Dr. W F. Smith, on the charge of adultery was proceeding in the City Criminal Court. During the afternoon session a scene occurred in which it seems that the "silver tongu- ed orator." late of Prescott, was used to sweep or swab the courthouse floor, as it were. The Bulletin gives the following account of the show:
 Witness said that Mrs. Thomas Fitch had been trying to subOrn the jury for the past two or three days
 Thomas Fitch-That is a lie
 MT Tyler-I have proof that Mrs. Thomas Fitch has been trying to in fluence this jury
 MT. Campbell-This is disgraceful.
 NIT. Fitch, standing up and handling his cane in a nervous manner" if MT. Tyler says that Mrs. Fitch has been trying to influence this jury, he lies!"
 NIT. Tyler-If you mean to say that 1 can't prove it, you lie.
 MT. Fitch-YOu can't prove it.
 Mir Tyler-YOu liel
 The cane that had been trembling in the hands of the late Speaker of the Arizona Legislature now descend ed with a thud upon the head of Mir Tyler, who at once grappled with his aSsailant. In an instance the spectators in that part of the room were hurry ing out of the way of the two strug- gling men, and chairs and benches were torn up and cast this side and that. The men went for each others throats, like bulldogs, and the spec tatOrs did not seem inclined to inter fere. At last NIT. Tyler got his antag- onist upon his knees and dragged him to the jury box, when a policeman (the Courts brother-in-law) who had crowded to the front pushed himself between the struggling men, and with the assistance of some able-bOdied at tOrneys managed to separate them. The Court had retreated to the farther corner of the platform out of the range of any stray pistol shot that might be fired, but when the strug- gling men had been separated, came forward and said: Gentlemen must preserve order. The Court is still in session."
 After having continued the Smith trial to this afternoon, the Court screw ed up its courage to the stricking point and stated that such scenes were dis graceful and in contempt of Court and that NIT. Tyler and MT. Fitch might consider themselves in custody and he would examine the case of con tempt the first opportunity
 The Court then adjourned.
 We only regret the "the Courts brOther-in-law interfered.

Hdnted-Inform1fIon.

We consider this community ofo ours of some importance, speaking more particularly of Tucson and its neigh borhOOd, but generally, also, of all Arizona. But guessing safely, we might say that not more than one per son of average intelligence in ten, in the United States, ever heard of our best known localities, or know any thing more of us than the mere name of our Territory. There is a vague idea in the minds of many, that Arizo- na is a kind of Fl Dorado, perhaps and they understand that it was once the home of a numerous and curious people, who have been drifted over by the sands of time, and have left no marks behind them but few solemn ruins like the Casa Grande. Travel CTS and their books, have, for the most part, told merely the marvellous about the country, and left out those things which would show that it is pretty much like the rest of the world, and that the people belong to the general brotherhood of men. There is almost no conception abroad of the fact that we are busy people, with many cen ters of trade and activity, working at some disadvantage, but keeping abreast with the most enlightened communi- ties in all substantial respects. They have heard of the wonderful mirage, and its myriad deceptions, and state ments about us, which get out and go roaming, are, for the most part, put down to the same class of delusiOnS, and are looked at with great increduli- ty. We move in the haze of distance, and they look at us through the small end of their telescopes. We are mov- ed to these reflections by the frequent requests we get for something which tells about Arizona" The inquirers are often satisfied with a current news paper; we suppose, because that is a tangible article from the spot, and from which it can be argued that there must be something real about the To- cality which supports such a thing
 We gladly respond to these requests, looking in time to see a knowledge of this country universal in the land.

THEY are making a fuss over the new officers of the Senate. Colonel Burch it is thought will squeeze through, but doubt is expressed as to the Sergeant-at-Arms, Richard J. Bright. Now all that Bright did was to swear to an affidavit, upon the faith of which he, as public printer for In diana, was allowed pay for blanks which were never furnished. He es- capped a prosecution for perjury, by the courts deciding that the affidavit was not one which the Statutes of the State required to be made. In English, he had lied and sworn to it; but there was no law to punish him. And is the United States Senate about to take notice of a mere offense against mor- als?

Gov. FREMONT has written his son a letter stating that "the large reserva- tion in the Salt River Valley, set apart for the Pimas, will be withdrawn and restricted temporarily to the smaller one at the mouth of the Verde River, some ten miles further up Salt River from where they are now located" And, strange to say, the Governor has not been near Washington, and his news is exactly Tn accordance with the recommendation of Zen. Hammond. And further, this is the very same ar rangement recommended by Delegate Stevens prior to any other movement on the part of any one, and mentioned in his letter of February r, published in THE CITIZEN of March '. We may say, also, that, this is a confirmation of the view of TIE CITIZEN, heretofore expressed, that whatever should be done in the reservation matter, would be upon the report of Inspector Ham mond, and not upon the representation of the legislature or the Embassy"

THERE is almost a panic in mining stocks in San Francisco, consequent upon two things, the feeling which prevails there as to the probable effects of the new constitution upon business, if it is adopted, and the very uncer- tain future of the COnstOck mines in connection with the Sutro Tunnel. All who know any thing about San Francisco know what it means to say that there is a panic in stocks. It means demoralization of every thing and every body, and it is worse that the earthquake shakes they sometimes have. One of the sources of their dif- faculties is that they are so unwise as to start all their ventures in one direc- tion. Now, they neither look at, nor think of any thing but Comstocks. If they would scatter out little they might fare better.

THE Postmaster-General has issued an order for a rapid transit mail ser vice by fast steamers on the Mississip- nj River between St. Louis and New Orleans. The order provides for a tri-weekly mail, as soon as appropria- tions will permit. It will doubtless be changed to a daily mail service. The contract was awarded to Gen. J. B. Price and associates, of Missouri. They will soon have the new styles of fast steamers ready for the service. Plans and specifications have already been prepared. There are upwards of ROO offices to be served on the route.

TIE prosecution of Dr. W. F. Smith for adultery was proceeding with much vigor at San Francisco, according to our latest mail advices. But there was very great difficulty in getting the necessary evidence. The prosecution of course, claim that the original Mrs. Smith is still the only Mrs. Smith, and the marriage relation precludes her from testifying as to her so-called hus- bands peccadilloes; and the defense claims that the lady whose name was Miss Carpenter is now the only gen uine Mrs. Smith, and that, therefore, she cannot be heard in accusation of the Doctor. The Court must decide which Mrs. Smith is Mrs. Smith be- fore the case can go very far, and that involves a discussion and settlement of the Arizona divorce business.
