The new Constitution adopted by tn
 tonventiOn st Sacramento seems to bc yer, unpopular with the mssscs throughout tn
 State of California and when vote is taker
 as to its adoption, il will go by tho DoarC
 and the old Constitution, which seems to b,
 good enough, will be upheld.
 In the event of conviction in the cas.
 of w. F. Smith now on trial in San Fran
 CISCO, on a charge Of adultery, entered | against him by NeilsOn, the Melbourne con
 wet, then VIC would suggest that every mar
 in San Francisco be brought before tht ! Courts on the same charge, as Smith evl,
 dently carries about as clear a record as thu
 average San Francisco citizen.

 l6 mule team, and will pull ut to-morrow morning for Gila Bend via Phenix, with over 33,000 pounds of bullion and iumbei on his mIin wagon ana TWO trails. This is perhaps the largest back load that has ever gone out of Prescott on a single tem
 though Johnny has often brought into Prescott as high as 3i000 with the same team.
 The stages are still running on the Yuma road, notwithstanding Wells. Fargo & Co.'S office, at Date Creek, was discontinued nearly week ago. It is certain that a change is about to be made to some other point on the k. R, bur whether to Gila Bend or M-ncopa Wells is not yet known. Snpt Stewart Is out on the road, and when he comes m again We shall probably learn what is to De dOue.

 Two weeks since we published an item to the effect that butchers were requirdd to give bond of 5000, to be flied with the County Commis,io ,ioner. conditioned that they keep the ears and hides of all animals kill- ed by them, for the snace of 20 days after for public inspection, also re- quiring that brands, marks, etc, be kept in .. book of record. Such a bill was intro duced and passed both branches of the Leg islaturc but failetl-to receive the signature of tine Governor, consequently the bill fail ed to become law.

 The Democrats are unanimous III tue de- terminatIon not to pass certain appropria- ion bills without clauses attached repeal | ing certain laws which they decree objec- l tionable, and the Republicans are as firm | md as united in the determination to op- pose by all means in their power any polit | Ical legislation in an appropriation bill. 1 The element of weakness in the Democratic | programme is their slender majority, and l the nec1 ssity it entails to keep every man at | hts post. The element of weakness in the | Republican programme is an uncertain ex- acutive and d cabinet in winch two mem- bers are disposed to meet the Democrats half way. If General Grant was President | 1r any one of a dozen Senators we could | name, the chances of coming ont of the victorious would favor the Re DuDlicans. Bui General Grant is not Presi lent aud MT. Hayes talks very much as he | iid on the ChiTese bill while it was pend ng m Congress. His mind on most mat CTS IS sn unknown quantity. The party eaders can never feel safe when the Prcsl- lent in the most coscietious discharge of lis duties is likely any morning 10 wake up nrlf-way towards the camp of the enemy.
