The Philadelphia Ledger says that if the
100000 bill for the destruction by the
Pittsburg rioters should pass the Legislature,
the people of Philadelphia will have to pay
more than 100000 as their share. This,
it thinks, pretty big price to pay ''for the
benefit of the city whose encouraged, unre-
strained ruffians shot down in cold blood tie
Philadelphia soldiers sent to protect Them"

The assumption OF Bradley JOhnson's res
olutions, passed by the Legislature in pre-
cipitate haste and without due considera-
ton, is that the laws Of Virginia are the
supreme law of the land-that Virginia is
''sovereign," and that any attempt to en-
force the laws of the national government,
upon Virginia soil, is ''usurpation." Hany
one principle of our political system is more
prominently asserted now than another, it
is that there is no sovereignty in this coun-
try except national sovereignty-that the
laws of Congress passed in pursuance of
the Constitution are supreme, and State
judges, as well as Federal, are subject to
them and cannot with impunity defy them.
This great fundamental fact must sooner or
later be recognized, and the sooner the bet
ter. The mischievous vaporings of the
johnson resolutions can have but one effect,
and that to excite the ridicule o. judicial
minds and constitutional statesmen, who
comprehend the relations of the States to
the National Government under the Consti-
tuition as it is. It would have been much
tuOTC peIGlIcuG lUI tiC ACSlSldtuEc
to have instructed the Representatives and
Senators in Congress from Virginia to pro-
cure repeal of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitu-
ton, and the laws enacted to carry them in
to effect, than to inquire into the legality of
articles OF impeachment against Judge
Rives. He simply followed the plain letter
of the law, and while the results which are
presented may be regretted by us all, the
blame cannot be attached to the judicial Of
ficer who has simply discharged his duty,
acting under the Federal law, which he is
under oath to enforce, and not under the
State laws, as the resolutions assume. And
while these latter conform to the statute Of
Congress under consideration, and have
been offended alike with the Federal law,
yet the proceedings in Judge Riyes' Court
lave been conducted under the national
aw, and with no reference to the State |

Il of out of sheer exhaustion at holding on so long" This whole valley of Salt River can be made a very horticultural paradise, and not only here but all through the mou-.tains, fine crops of the more hardy fruits are every year being pod uced. At Walnut Grove, Wickenburg, on the Verde, and at Point of Rocks, apples and peaches can be raised in quantities, as has been proven by actual expo ri;ncnt on a small scale. At the latter place, MT. Clough,a New Eng land man, we believe. has raised some of the finest peaches ever seen in Arizona. Let the farmers every where plant orchards, and thereby not only stop the importation of fruit which of course exports our money. but in the ne1r future, when the two or three railroads which are certain to cross our mountains and valleys, our tropical fruits can be made sources of immense income to our husbandmen to repay them hundredfoId for the little toll and care required to pllnt and cultivate the trees. Thus not only will they provide a source ofimmense wealth. but give to our citizens the luxury and health which well cultiv ated orchard or vineyard always brings.

GENERAL CROOK.

The 4Christ tian Intelligence" makes the following observation: "What singular unfortunate off ccr GENERAL CROOK isI Ifby any chance there are Indians within his jurisdiction, although tlley have lived in peace with the whites for years, somehow they revolt and take up arms while under his super vision. It would be well for him and other officers 10 know that among. our citizens there is a grow ing contempt for. ;he officer whose chief reputation is that of suc- cezsful Indian fighter
 Tine above extract is only another illustration of the fact that good theolcgiaus are not always true in the:r statements. The fact is that GENERAL CROOK is always called to the difficult task of suppressing revolt after the Indians who have lived in peace with the whites" have taken up arms against inno- cent people, and the Government which has furnished them with ra- tions. While an editor of an old foggy religious newspaper sits in his cozy office in the East, GENERAL CROOK is in the feld to fight h. dians who have never been under his jurisdiction" at all. GENERAL CRooK is popular in the West, where the people know that he always succeeds Infringing hostiles under his jurisdiction very speedily, and where people know anything of the man and his work, there is no growing contempt for the officer whose chief reputation is that he is successful Indian fighter.r

----------- REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.

From every part of the whole country cOme renewed assurances
 of prosperous times. Every branch of business and of manufacture saems to have become suddenly i'm
 bued with new life and animation.
 Tbe iron .rade has taken an impe- tus that is a!most without parallel in the history of that industry. The deman,l seems to be fur beyond the possible supply, and the activity in that pai ticuIar line of manufac-
 turc has seemed to set ill motion a,l the wheels of industry in the nation. We have passed through night of years, in which the darkness has been well nigh impenetrable, and now that the sunlight of prosperity has broken through the darkness, the nation will start on new era of prosperity and commercial great ness. Tie demand tor American productions, and especially for our brea,.siuff<, will very large increase the ballncc of trade in onr favor, in spite of the heavy shipments of railroad iron, reported as coming Loih from England and Germany. The probability is that even these importaiiOns will last no longer than is necessary to repair the idle mills and build Eew ones to meet the Eome demand. Steel rails, which are much preferred in railroad building to iron, are now msnufac- turcd in America as cheaply, and of as good quality as abroad, and this being true, Americans will naturally prefer to buy in the home market, as well oi account Of American pride as the neprne>s to market an] consequent expedition with which their orders can be filled. The day of hard times" seems to have passed, and HOW, from Maine to California, and from British America to Mexico, the busy hum of industry will miugle with the laughter of l busy and prosperous nation.
