By close calculation ana inspection of a reliable map, we find that the center line running east to west through Arizona, is only ten miles south of the town of Prescott, so we are not so terribly afflicted with being the unterriied of Northern Arizona, our Mormon friends, who, by the way, are good citizens, can be more properly termed Northern Arizonans'
 Large bands of brood mares and fine young horses are numerous all over this section of Arizona, and the business has been found one that pays good interest on the capital invested.

 An order from Governor Fremont has put of the day for executing J. J Chapman un til the 9th. of May.
 Washingtons Birthday is being celebrated by the telegraph boys all along the line from San Diego, which deprives us of ouI regular dispatches and our readers of late news.
 Yesterday in the Distinct Court the de. murrer in case of Mary M Bean vs. Edward Martin ct. al. was decided adversely to the defendants. The effect of this ruling is to confirm the title of the Bradshaw mill, to 5irs. Bean, and to wipe out all mechanics liens and all other encumbrances.
 DEPARTED.-Hon J. IT. Behan, who has bean and is to Yayapsi county good and true friend, departed for the Southern part of the Territory this afternoon. NIT. Behan took his little son Albert with him, and will in short tune place him under the care of an eminent physician in San Francisco for the purpose of having him treated for pllght deafness, occasioned by severe sick ness two years ago. Albert is bright Prescott boy, and lhe whole town were 10th 10 see him taken away. Mr. Carpenter, Recorder of Pima county, also went out vi h Mr. Behan.
 CURE FOR RHEUMATIsM.-J. B. Crooks, the wagon maker, is authority for the iR- formation that insoles made of sheet zinc and plsced inside or a persons boots or shoes, will in few days cure the mctt ais tressingcase ofrhuematismi in the wearer. He has known of several trials, including his own case, and in every instance the effect has been an entire, and apparently, permanent c1re. Some Of these cures have been effected in few hours and none have run longer than three or four days. The ziuc should be cut very httle larger than the inside of the bottom of the boot, and the edges slightly turned up to prevent their cutting or eLafing the upper leather. This is very cheap remedy, easily applied, and ifIt should fail, in any lnsta-cr, ii will cer- tainly do no harm to try 1t.
 RESPITE IN THE CASE OF JOHN J.
 CHAPMAN.
 To al lcloB, these pTesents may con -eTH Greeting: Whereas John J. Chapman, WAS on the
 A. D. 1879, by the Honorable Dis triet Court of the Third Judicial District, of the Territory of Arizona, in and for the County of Yavapai, sentenced to be eexecuted on the I4th day of March. A. D. 1878. And whereas petitions have been recently sent on to Washington, to His Excellency, Ruther- lord B. Hayes, President fthe United States of America, asking that Executive clemency be inlerposed in said Chapman's behalf. And whereas it is necessary to postpone the dav of execution aforesaid in order 10 ascer- tain the action of the President of the United States. Now, therefore, l, John C. Fremon', Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority conferred upon me by law, do now respite the said Chapman, and postpone the day of his execution aforesaid, to the 9th day of May, 1879, on which day at the time and place designated in the sentence afOre- said, he Is to suffer death in the manner and form prescribed by law, unles Executive cIemency be interposed by the President of the Uniied States of America.

 Governor.

The debate in the Senate on the bill to re- strict Chinese immigration was earnest. if not exciting. Senator Sargent led the van for the Pacific Coast, delivering a carefully prepared and characterrstically accurate and well reasoned speech demonstrating the con stitutionality of the proposed legislation. Senator Booth followed with graceful and pointed argument in support of the meas ure. Senator Grover, of Oregon, tosk part in the debate on the same side, but was less careful in his statement of facts. Stanley Mathews opposed the bill; Blaine made a trenchant speech in its favor; Herman oppoS- ed it; Thurman supported it; and Hamlin de- bounced it.
