Gen. Fremont will, in few days, proceed to the Salt river valley. and thoroughly post himself in regard to the situation of the Pima Indians, and the lands they are occupying, and from there will proceed to Wash ington, and ask that the Indian ques- ton be settled, and in manner that will be satisfactory to the people of that fertile valley, We apprehend that near the confluence of the Verde can be found suitable reservation for those red children of the forest, and one that can be obtained at q reasonable figure, and the location bc such that no conflict will arise be- tween them and the whites.-HiRer.

THE NEW MARKET HOUSE.

A correspondent of one of the city papers
is very anxious on the subject of issuing
bonds to build new market house. He
seems to imagine that it is a scheme which
will involve the city in debt. This is alto
gether mistake. It is toe one public build
ing of all others which will pay all expenses
at the start, and in very few years will pay
it's original cost. The construction of q
market house, as proposed, will bring large
number of new dealers to the city who can
not now find proper accommodations for
business. twill concentrate large num-
Der of dealers who are now scattered through
the city, and the spacious hall will be a much
needed public institution. The basement
restaurant will also command handsome
rental.
AS $1,000 will pay the interest on the
bonds, there need not be the slightest idea
that the people will ever be taxed single
dollar for the Improvement. The rental
will not only pay the annual interest," but in
from twelve to fifteen years will have created
sinking fund which will discharge the
principal. The bonds should not be allowed
to issue for longer period than fifteen
years, as with honest and prudent man
apement sufficient fund is certain to be
created by that time to discharge them.
The present market is not only unsightly,
but Improbable to the city. The city owns
a large and valuable piece of ground where
the present hideous market stands. But q
comparatively small portion is covered BY

THE HOUSE.

Yesterday was devoted wholly to gable
in the House. There was q large file of gen
eral orders, and the effort was made to get
through it in commi tee of the whole. But
the promise was not suspicious. First of all
two hours were consumed in the discussion
of the bill recognizing the JUDICIAL districts
of the State. Nearly all the oratorical mem
bers objected to its provisions because it af-
fected their constituents, and it was soon
made evident that the professions Of reform
that have been SO freely made would weigh
but little where local interests were at stake.
By hard fight Mr.. Jones, the author of the
bill, assisted mainly by Mr.. Benson, man
aged to squeeze it through with favorable
recommendation.
Then came the debate on the bill to re-
duce the rate of interest to 10 per cent.
This was fought savagely by Mr.. Comstock
and several others, Messrs Hicks and W.
M. Campbell being its chief defenders. The
speeches were long, and traversed the ground.

got through and on tho calendar, and ct 1880

To the little old mountain village of Fair

laughing gas, balloon and lecture, with an
immense flourish of trumpets. The night of
the performance came and the affair turned out
humbug. The boys took the show man in

received at the door. they tied him, led him to
the pump, and gave him ducking. In the
midst of the melee Shep Tuttle, rather cow
ardly fellow, who had done his part
in getting up the = excitement,
and dealt the Snowman a severe thwack with a
blackthorn, stick across the temple. The blood
spurted out. The poor wretch cried piteously.
The boys were moved. They had meant to give
the mountebank lesson, not to hurt him. The
cowardice of the blow and the sight of the
blood produced a sudden and violent reaction

wound. They took him kindly back to the

The GLoBE's watchfulness of the public
interests was handsomely recognized by the
Senate, yesterday, in the unanimity with
which it recommended for indefinite post
ponement the memorial to Congress for open
ing the door to raid upon the pine of the
Indian reservations within the State. The
scheme had been quietly introduced in the
House, and being in the form of simple
memorial to Congress, had not attracted any
particular attention, and it was passed with
out objection. Reaching the Senate on it's
final reading, Thursday, the GLOBE fathom-
ing the scope of the projected raid, raised a
warning voice in it's issue of yesterday morn
ing in brief paragraph, and at nightfall
the scheme was dead and buried.

BRING ON your WooDcHUcKs.

bR1N4 On YOUR WOODCHU ChS.
Both branches of the Legislature have adj
journed over till Monday evening, thus
losing two full working days in the last week
but one of the session. In the House there
are about one hundred and fifty bills yet to
be acted upon, and about hundred in The
members pockets yet to be introduced. In
the Senate there are over hundred bills
still to be disposed of, besides what may
come from the House for concurrence Thus
it will be seen that there are at least three
hundred bills requiring attention probably
greater number. It is almost physical
impossibility for the clerks of the two houses
to read all these bills a first, second and
third time and call the roll on the question
of their passage, and it is certainly impossi-
BILE that the members can give them the con-
sideration and scrutiny they should receive.
The majority of those that pass during the
remainder Of the session will probably go
through, therefore, with only the cursory in
spection that the committees are able to
give them.
We would suggest to those having wood
chucks which they wish to rush through
the Legislature that now is the time to bring
them along. There will be little danger that
they will be discovered in the rush of bust
weeks, and unless some argus eyed reporter
shall detect them, they will pass through I'M
challenged. Judging by the steady increase
of the lobby, we conclude that the men with
the woodchucks appreciate this fact, and
will not be slow to take advantage of the
circumstances.
This is precisely the state of affairs that
the GLOBE predicted early in the session.
During the second week of January we
warned the members that they would be
overcrowded with business and be unable to
properly serve their constituents. That
warning has been unheeded, and day after
day has been wasted in useless and senseless
debate on trivial topics, while long adjourn
ments have been had while part of the mem
bers went junketing about the State. We
now fear that there will be much unwise
legislation in consequence before the final
adjournment. AS we have said, there is too
little time for the proper consideration and
inspection of the bills that are now and
hereafter will be brought before the Senate
and House of Representatives. The lobby
will be far more active as the session ap-
proaches its end, and will no doubt succeed
in forcing through good many bills with
woodchucks in them. If SO, the legislature
will have itself to blame. There has been
time enough for the full consideration of
every measure that might come up, but the
time has been wasted. It is to be feared that
the constituents of many Of the members
will not be moved to pronounce the verdict,
swell done, good and faithful servants

THE SENATE.

So n . Z
The first measure to attract the attention
OF the Senate yesterday morning was the
motion of Senator @. F. Buck to call from
the table the drive we'll bill and have it
placed on the calendar for third reading,
and by his vigorous advocacy of the measure
imparting new life to its supposed corpse. A
general discussion of the question followed,
and vote having been taken, the bill was
placed on the calendar.
The memorial to Congress asking an
amendment to the constitution granting
universal suffrage was discussed, and Sena-
tor Morrison plead the cause of the ladies in
neat and sensible speech, and Senator
Kinds advocated it more from legal stand
point. Sanator E. M. Wilson opposed the
resolution, not that he opposed the granting
CT the ballot to the ladies', but upon the
States rights grounds that the State alone
has the right to determine who shall exer-
else the right of suffrage. It is safe to say
that if ladies do vote Mr.. Morrison can come
back to the Senate whenever he wishes. The
memorial was recommended to pass.
The House joint resolution asking Con-
gress to order the sale of the pine stumpape
on the Indian reservation in this State
caused perfect howl when it came in COM
mittee of the whole. Senator Castle alone
advocated the memorial, while number Of
Senators opposed it in strong and vigorous
terms, generally upon the ground that when
the Indian title should be extinguished the
State would come in for it's share of the
school and iswamp lands, which they did not
propose to have denuded of the chief ele-
ment of its value. The rights of "Lo the
poor Indian" were spoken of, but Indians
are not appreciated in. Minnesota. It was
recommended to be indefinitely Postponed.

The machinery necessary to put a consti-
tutional convention in motion is not as rapid
as the GLOBE supposed, owing to the biennial
session arrangement, which upsets all pre-
vious plans of doing business. The people
can only vote upon the subject of consti-
tutional convention when they elect legis-
lature, which will be year from next fall.
Then, if it is ordered, the following legisla-
ture must provide for an election and fix the
general machinery. If the bill should pass
this winter inaugurating the movement, it
will be three years before convention can
be assembled. Which is all the more reason
Why Senator Hills bill should pass.
