Unparalleled Advantages Offered to the People Of
Claiborne parish by that well known and popular house.

Professor M H. Sherman.

The Enterprise of March 29, pays a handsome tribute to Prof. Sherman, Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction, from which we quote the following:
 We desire here to state that after a long and intimate personal acquaint- ance, we are able to say advisedly that We do not think Governor Fremont could have made a better choice in filling the position than he did when he appointed NIT. Sherman. While we do not agree with MT. Sherman in every respect in his methods of in structiOn, yet our differences are such as arise more from training in different schools than from any real objections to his system. Having at one time in our life, and for a considerable period been teacher, we think we can speak knowingly on the subject, and we here desire to pay our tribute, both as a citizen and as editor, to Mir Sherman faithfulneSs through a course of teach ing in this Territory now extending over five years. During most of that period, as we stated above, we have been intimately acquainted with him, and have closely and carefully observ- ed his course. He is a teacher-over and above everything else he is devoted to his profession, and nobly and un- SelfiShly does he work to do his duty m this regard. That he has been sue ceSSful all know who have lived here for any length of time.

THE SALT RIVER RESERVE.
Our Embassy" Heard From.

The Prescott weeklies, received yes terday both announce the stirring fact that Governor Fremont has actually been heard from, and that he writes that "the order making Salt River Valley an Indian Reservation will be temporarily restricted to the lands "the Indians in question now occupy" The Miner thinks THE CITIZEN Twill feel sad over Governor Fremont's sue cess
 TIE CITIZEN does feel sad and really ashamed that our chief executive is of so little worth and that in order to give him the semblance of influence an eff. fort is made to steal glory for him and jump" auother's claim to success. The fact is that Governor Fremont has simply done nothing in this matter nor does his letter convey any news, for in our issue of March 7th, we publish ed the following:
 In a letter of date Washington, Feb ruary r., Hon. H. $. Stevens writes to the Surveyor-General as follows:
 "I called on the President this in reference to his order set ting off lands on Salt River for an Indian Reservation. He seems to be quite astonished at its effect, as we'll as Secretary Schurz, and both appear to be quite willing to modify it, and am trying to have it done in the following form: Commence at point four miles above Hayden's Ferry on Salt River, and extend from there up as now spec flied in the order"
 From this it will appear that our ef- ficient delegate had accomplished all that is now claimed for Gov. Fremont some time before the latter started out with his ill-gotten $2OO0 to flood the eastern market with lottery tickets and sham railroad bonds. We have not seen it stated anywhere that Fremont had yet visited Washington. In fact we do not believe he has seen the Pres ident, and we are very much mistaken if the " Embassy" did not have copy of our issue of March T, in his pocket, when he wrote the particulars of his '' great success to the Prescott jour nals.

NEW YORK, March 31.-A Washing ton correspondent says Prominent Southerners have recently declared that the South does not care for the legislation which the Democracy are striving to bring about. All the South wants is the repeal of the jurors test oath; it would have been much better if separate bills had been introduced, instead of tacking the propositions on the Appropriation bills; now all hope of them is lost, because Garfield's speech has awakened the country, as well as the President
 NEW YORK, March 31,-The Suns Washington special says: EX-Gover- nor Burbank, ex-Senator Morton's pri- vatc secretary, has returned to Wash ington after an extended tour of the Southern States. Burbank says that every Republican in the South is in favor of the renomination of Grant in 1880. He does not think that Grant or any other candidate of the Repub- lican party can carry a single Southern State in the next Presidential election.
 NEW YORK, March 31-The Her raids Washington special says; The Secretary of War has seen statements published in the papers in reference to the Fitzjohn-Porter case, but he knows nothing of the tenor of the re port which he is at liberty to con- municate. He says that the testimony, forming q large volume, is yet to be printed, and, until this is done the President will not begin to examinei the papers forwarded by General Scho- field
 NEW YORK, March 31.-The Tri- bune's Washington special says: Al ready forty names are entered upon the list of speakers upon the Army Bill, and this is probably not half the number who will be moved to spread something upon the record in explana- tiOn of their votes upon this question, or as bid for popularity among their constituents.

i WOMAN in New York found her self in possession of lazy, good-for- nothing lOut of a husband, who couldn't earn much and never brought home anything he did earn. She found out that he could carve fowl in the top of the mode, and took to hiring the old man out, at so much a carve, to rich people who were giving dinners, always contracting that the money should be paid to her, only. One day a customer thoughtlessly gave the carving machine the money, and the thrifty wife never got a cent of it. She sued the nabob for. payment, and the court gave her judgment, holding that, under the circumstances she had a right to hire out her marital chattel and collect his earnings.
 IL is not lawful in this country to ex- pose a husband for sale, but the fact is now established that one may be kept for hire. The lesson is one which will carry comfort to many an embarrassed girl who, having blundered into mar riage, finds that she has on her hands a lOunging person who is of no parti- cular use. If she can discover even one talent, and turn that to account. she may set the otherwise unprofita- ble fellow to work by renting him out to do the only thing he understands. Thus is hope in store for many sor- rowing woman, and thus may affiu- ence await the thrift of the wife who is shrewd enough to utilize a shiftleSs and burdenSome husband.

By TeIeeroph- Condensed.

A great debate took place in the House of Representative on Saturday between Garfield and Stephens, over Section 6 of the Army Appropriation Bill, which prohibits the use of the Army at the polls, MT. Stephens ar gued the point of order only. MT. Garfield said:
 It is a law proposed by a Demo cratic Senator Powell of Kentucky), reported against by Republican Com mittee and passed ill both Houses by a majority of the Democratic votes. name as voting for it Senators Hen dricks, Davis of Kentucky, Johnson of Maryland, Mcdowell of California |; and among the Democratic RepreSen- tatives Randall of Pennsylvania, Wood of New York and Pendleton of Ohio. We pick up the gage of battle which you have thrown down, and will ap- peal to our common sovereign, the people, to say whether you shall break down the principle of free consent in legislation at the price of starving the Government tO death. We are ready to pass these bills for the support of the Government at any hour when you will offer them in the ordinary way, and if you offer these other meas ureS as separate measures we will meet you in a spirit of fair and fraternal debate. But you shall not compel us. gh fr,. this Government, until the question has gone to the sovereign to determine whether they will consent to break down any of its voluntary powers, and on that ground we plant ourselves"

 BosToN, March 29.-Jefferson Davis, in an interview today, said that he ac- cepted the arbitrament of the sword, He was very hopeful of the future of the country. The only disturbing ele- ment to be discerned now were the efforts of the extremists upon both sides to keep alive the animosities and hatred of the past. If Congress would pursue a moderate course and attend to its legitimate duties of general legislation for the good of the whole country, all the great social and indus trial questions, which were now the source of so much contention, would soon settle themselves, and the country would be at peace.

The Mexican Exhibition.

\ circular regarding the Mexican. Exhibition has been issued to the State Governors by General Riva Palacio, the Minister of Public Works. In this document General Riva Palacio says that the President has determined that an International Exhibition shall be- held next year in this city He says that the Executive expects that theI proposed Exhibition will remove false impressions which exist abroad regard
 ing the country, and will tend to open new markets to the products of the farm and the factory, thereby prOmot-
 ing immigration and the construction of railways. All nations, even thOs e which have not diplomatic relations with the Republic, are to be invited to exhibit their products. Foreign exhibitors, as well as those of the Mexican States, will be free to display their goods in buildings or pavilions raised by their respective nations Orl governments, as well as in the EXhibi- tion itself Exhibits will be admitted free of duty. Foreign Governments will be invited to send Commissioners The ports of entry for exhibits will soon be designated. The President! has appointed MeSsrs. Sebastian Cal macho, Mariana Barcena and Miguel Hidalgo y Teran to be Commissioners for the Exhibition. In concert with the Department of Public Works, they are to appoint subcommittee, make regulations and take charge of correspondence relating to the EXhibi- tiOn. In conclusion, General Riva Pa laciO says the Government has resolved to enter on new industrial policy of activity and progress. It will endeavorl by means of the Exhibition to openI up new markets, to encourage foreign, trade and to attract capital from abroad for the development of the national resources. The engineers began pre- parationS for the Exhibition building some time since. It is to be opened, January IA, 1SS0.-EX.
 We were informed by Ex-Gov. Ma riscal that he had commenced making. collection of the products and natural curiosities of the State of Sonora, forl the Exhibition some time ago. It is hoped that the movement may not bel to drop by the new admins
 tration, as it would be great injustice to the nation not to have one of it's finest cOmmOnwealths represented.

THE ore at Leadville is found for a distance of 17mileS between Leadville and Ten Mile. and seems to be all the same kind of rock. It is a flat deposit and not a true Assure. The ore comes right to the surface and the bottom has not been reached yet. The Pittsburg is down 200 feet in rich ore all the way. The assays run from $50 to $500 to the ton. There are now thirty mines producing and two hundred prospect ing. It is a poor mans camp. No machinery is required. There are twelve furnaces at work on custom rock, so that one man can dig ore out and another hoist it up and sell it. The ore is a carbonate of lead and sil- yer and the prospects are enormeus.- Reno Gazette

One had a wide mouth, ponderous jaws, an appetite sharpened by twenty-four hours of fasting, and was naturally the favorite before the start. The other was mani feStly dyspeptic, and his appearance was against him. Hot apple pies of d
 uniform size were used, and the man who ate most in half an hour was to be the winner The favorite led for twen- ty minutes, swallowing eight pies in that time, and leaving his competitor a pie and a half behind: but at that juncture he choked and was compeIl- ed to nest The dyspeptic kept steadi- ly at work, closed the gap, and then forged ahead.
