our WASHINGTON LETTEE.


Congress has got at work, bot ii
j. really doing nothing, nor will u do
much until after the holidays. The
Democrats, 81 course, coutrol the
business of lssisiatioH, having ma
josity Of all the committees; and -
10 fairly charged tha, they are pur
posely holding back the business be
Gauss they dare not le, tse hot heads
in their ranks have chance 20 spread
themselves. The cooler Democrats
think that il they postpone action
for q month or more on all import
ant matters they can prevent serious
blundsrs; but it is probable that the
Confederate Brigadiers are too far
in the whirlpool of fatal errors to
draw out.
Speaking Of this reminds me ,ha;
many Democrats signify q readiness
to appropriate money for the pay of
the United States Marshals, which
they refused last Spring. II will
make very iittls difference whether
they appropriate the money or not,
this year or next; the United States
officers will serve at elections, and
be paid from private means, to be
refunded by the Government when
the Republicans get into complete
power again in 1881.
The manly character Of the Prssi'
dents message commsnds it to all
classes. But the Democrats made
one grand mistake touching it when
they thought it 6rebrand to divide
the Republican party. The Rspub-
licans have learned to be tolerant Of
each others views, and will not
quarrel even if they disagree on mi.
nor points. The Presidents recon
mendation to withdraw greenbacks
gave great delight to the Greenback-
Democratic combination, "for," said
they, "this will be new Legislation,
and will agitate the very question
they did not want to disturb" But
scarcely had they began their rsjoic-
ing when the Republicans in both
Houses almost unanimously svinced
disposition to ignore the subj ject
for the present. Even those who
agree with the President say that
it would be unwise to open this
question this session, and it is likely
resolutions will be passed to that Of
feet.
The latest phase Of the Democrat
conspiracy in Maine to steal the Re-
publican Legislature would be anus
ing to see If it were not very se-
rious matter to subvsrt the clearly
expressed will of the electors. AT
first, tho conspirators alleged bribery
and corruption as the motive for
grabbing the seats to which Rspub.
licans were elected. Next, finding
that such charges could not be sup
ported, but might result in trouble
some libel suits, they hunted up ir-
regularities in the returns. But
again, when the Republicans claimed
the right to inspect these irreguIari.
ties, they lodged behind their own
assertion that the law under which
such inspection has been allowed
heretofore is unconstitutional. And
SO this serious farce goes on to dis.
gust honest Democrats here, and to
assure us that if we are not strong
enough to beat them they will com.
nit suicide.

can not count a thousand inhabitants,
 Mr J. W. Davis keeps a well-stocked
 store, which will be enlarged as the
 camp expands. There is also a black smith shop and a boarding house at the camp, together with a number of rude dwellings. Mr Gillett's camp is
 about half a mile from Harshaw, just
 under the Hermosa hill. Mr. ". &.
 Edwards is there, aiding in the devel-
 opments. We also found MT Gilson,
 of San Francisco, at the camp. He
 was sampling the mines and seemed
 well satisfied. Messrs. Horn Silver Stevens and Empty Brown were also at the camp, and the aforesaid several gentlemen, together with Messrs. Gage and Chipman and the editor of TIE CITIZEN realized some of the genuineI agonies of rough life in mining camp while struggling with g case of Anheuser and some of Goldtree's best puros, which had recently been discov- cred in Hermosa Gulch All in all our visit to Harshaw was very agreeable one, and Messrs. Gillett & Edwards have our gratitude for the. many cOurtesies extended.

Fine Ore Samples.

The Sonora stage last evening brought over 100 pounds of gold and silver ore in three Jumps, from Imuris, near Magdalena, and close to the reg ular stage road. These samples can be seen at Salazar's assay office, on Meyers street. The report comes with them that there are a dozen veins near each other of the kind represented by these samples. One of these Jumps of ore weighs 100 pounds, and could only have come from strong vein. An assay of an average of the whole mat ter gave $22S per ton, and mill test in Sonora of the richer portions yielded $342 per ton. The ore carries about $40 gold and balance silver.
 The veins from which this ore comes are comparatively near our Southern border and are recent discoveries, which prove that discoveries of large and rich veins are going on, and that to the sonthward of Tucson is an i'm mense mining field hardly touched by the thorough prospcctor.

Booths s New land eM

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The bill in- troduced today by Senator Booth, to prevent obstructions to pre-emption and homestead settlement, provides that the occupation, enclosure or cul- tivation of any portion of the public lands, except by persons having claim thereto under some United States law, shall not withhold the same from homestead or pre-emption settlement. Any person not having such local claim who shall, by force or inrimida- ton, prevent such settlement shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $200 or imprisonment not exceeding six months. or both. The necessity for this bill arises from the practice of herders and others in certain quarters of cultivaling or pretending to culti- vate small portions of extensive tracts which they desire, perhaps by merely drawing a furrow around them, as d means of preventing bona fide settle ments. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has recently ruled that he has no power tc protect set tiers against this practice on unsur yeyed land.

Fair Dealing.

The Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco of the 14th, has a very fair correspondence of over two col umns on Arizona lands, and their cul- tivation. Here is an extract from it ::
 If, with all the disadvantages of crude and primitive farming, as above described, even the Mexicans and h. dians can manage to get along here, it is certainly feasible for white men, with improved machinery, not only to live, but to make money at the same business. The arabic lands are all level and of broad expanse, and we'll adapted 10 he use of machinery. Lodging" and rust are troubles hard ly known and heavy crops are a fore gone conclusion whenever the land is properly titled and the conditions are favorable to begin with. The expense of clearing land in most places is sim ply nothing, a heavy blow answering to grub up the sage brush. about the only shrubbery. Where the mesquit reaches the dimensions of tree, the wood more than pays for its removal from the land.

 Sec. B. That the present silver coins of the United States or smaller demo than $1 shall hereafter be d legal tender for $l0, in full payment of dues, public and private.

AdOwn the street the married man starts of with hurried tread, But from the dooi a wileIy voice Calls, Don't forget the bread.n Ee smiles and mods, and turns to 20. That careless married man, When loud the servant calls him, "Ob, You haven't got the can!" He mods again, m fretfnl style,
 But pulleth down his hat; And loi his sister, with a smile. Cries, |" Won't you bring my hat?u Oh, yes, ," he shouts, and truth to tell. He need not shout so loud; But Shrill his son, with stunnin. yell. "Theater tickets for the crowd!" dis daughter, from the window high, Esfops him with her call, She wants a fan. a pair or gloves, And a new pink paraSol. He hears no more-far down the street Ills echoing footsteps fly; And all day long, in measure fleet, He huns, sweet buy and buy" Aut when the evening respite brings, And his days toll is done, Though told to get hundred things, He hasn't got a one.

The LesinSky Hallway.

Clifton, Arizona, is the center of an increasing mining business which may well induce the Southern Pacific Company to run its line as near to it as the country will admit. Last Sat urday's Silver City Herald says:
 The material for the railroad from Clifton 10 the LongfellOw mine will weigh about 325,00O pounds. Henry Lesinsky informs us that it will prob ably be at the end of the railroad by the last of this month. and that the freight to destination is already con- tracted for. Seventy-five men are now at work on the grade, and the force would be increased to 800 could that number be obtained.
 Nearly 300,000 pounds of copper from the LOngfellow works at Clifton are now stored in Silver City, await ing shipment to the railroad terminus.

MR. AMEs, the jubilant Tinker" is in town with samples of ore about 75 per cent copper and S2OO per ton silver-at least the copper shows for itself and the ore appears to carry that much silver. He says he found it in the Huachuca mountains about sixteen miles from the military post to the southeast. He says there IS plenty of the ore, and c. 0. Brown and others say they know that i'm mense bodies of almost pure copper carrying some silver have been long known to exist n the said locality. The "Tinker" is happy and feels sure of having got the groundwork for an- other fortune.

Cutting scrape at Waynesboro.


Our correspondent at Waynesboro sends
the following account of a serious ARRAY
in that town Wednesday morning. A ball
was given at Mountain Top on the night
of the 18th, attended by number of young
men from Waynesboro and vicinity. Dur
ing the pro 1ress of the entertainment a
misunderstanding occurred between Rob-
ert Thompson. an employee of 7. w. Lam:
bert and Samuel Nj. Donald, son Of Capt.
VIM. A. Donald. The parties On return
ing to Waynesboro met on the streets
about o'clock in the night. and the quar-
rel was renewed, which resulted in fight,
each laid aside his coat and went at it ON
about square terms, as both were athletic.
able-bodied young men. Dynald it is said
was likely to prove too much for his adver-
sary. when he found that Thompson was
using knife on him very freely, whereup-
on he picked up a brick and hurled it at
T., s riking him with force. Thompson
then fled with precipitation and some of
the bystanders fred two pistol shots as he
retreated without any known effect.
Young Donald was taken into the drug
store of Myers & Fishbnrn. DR.. Myers
dressed the wounds. which were found to
be as many as or five six. two of these
wounds were very ugly and for a time it
was thought extended into the cavity. The
cuts were made by the band reachin g
round the body and the knife entering near
the spine on the left side and running hor-
1zontally. The hope is entertained that
they are only flesh wounds and recovery
will be speedy. Thompson has disappeared.
He is said to be a native of Culpeper coun-
ty, Va.
