THE 7RIUMpHS OF oUR DELEGATE.

Hon. John c Campbell is said to be o
 his way from Washington back to Prescott
 He comes loaded with the spells of victor
 and crowned with the laurels of triumph
 He took his seat on the 4ih of March, fcy
 short months ago, and Arizona already feel
 the effects of his arduous labors.
 No other Territory ha1 been So fortunate
 as Arizona in ob.aining Congressional anG
 Department aId for the development of bel
 resources. but then there arc delegates and
 DELEGATES. For years hitherto have wC
 fioundered in the slough of despair. No
 Mint, no mails, DO assay office, no artesian
 wells, no exploring and surveying parties
 no government wagon roads, nothing but
 beef contracts, corn syndicates and Indian r-eservations, God forgive us, we had
 nearly written fhs word ''ring.'O It was
 but fmall consolation for us to know that
 our Tucson Delegate, that simple, mild and
 bland child of the desert, who lodged at the Capitol Tn 1.-two pair back" wss more than equal 10 the wiIes of the Democratic states men who vsinly endeavored 10 divert some of the realized mineral wealth of Arizona with their Constitutional (saHs the amend mendment pockets. It was glory for our Territory that an Arizona "kelter" could, in his hands, elfeciually dominate over a Kentucky flush, but, alas, Rlory was all we obtained from the transaction. He did not divide with his constituents, and ''glory butiers no parsnips-"
 With the advent of ihe clan Campbell,
 different things were promised, different things were expected. and VIC are happy fo say. different things have been obtained. Every promise made y our new Delegate, and every promise made for him by his ttequlnf and enthusiastic friends has been aLundaDtly fulfilled. No longer docs the MOllaye mail ga forth strapped to the rear uf the gentle aad faithful bura, or on the back of the occ asioRal intermittent Indian, but Li.ckbOarl, drawn by blooded stock carry it in | whirl through dust and over rocks to the populOus sands of Signal and the cool shades of Mineral Park. The San Francisco capitalists w..o used to stFaidle iie mail bags for two nights and three days in absolute jerky fJom Yuma, now rolls in Concord coach from MaIicOpa in twenty four hours, and blesses Delegate Campbell for the increased mail facilities he so promptly cttsiBed from a yielding Con- s,rcss and an obl'ging Post Mas,er General. The granite walls o: the United States mint, ! il was promised should be erected at FlOfepce 1, already begiBs to loom up. fo the shame of ihe ancient Casa Giandc Iu inc vicinity.

Perhaps tke :randest triumph ofour Delegate, however, nay be found in the Military wagon road across the Mogolion mountains. ,y virtue of the bill he lntoduced and put through Congress for that purpose.
