EX-GOVERNOR MCCORMICK,

The influence of ex-Goyernor Mccormick IS being felt in Congress to the advantage of the people o1 the Pacific Coast. not only on the Republican siue of politics, but on the Democratic side as well.
 Through his faiher-in-law, the great Democratic Sehotor from Ohio, whose pro- found knowlet ge of law, and the welght of his position as the lea1ing Democratic Senator in Congress, he turned the tide when there was great danger of Conklings $ substitute for the anii-Chinese bill becom- ing law. Senator Sargant was battling mSnfully against the willy New York Sen ator and his cohorts, but as he stood com paratively alone in the debate against some of the mightiest intellects in the nation. they were making It fearfuily warm for him until, through McCormicK's influence, Senator Thurman came to his assistance, invulnerable in argument, profound in knowledge ana ready in its use, % that the two master minds over-matched the great New Yorker, killed his amendment. and assured the passage of the original bill.

The New Di, ec,or of the Mint.

The President has nominated HoratiC Burchard, of .linois. to succeed Dr. Linder- man, as Director of the Mint The New York Times intimates that this is anything but a judicicus selection. It states tha, Burchard is pronounced silver inffationist and cne of the most rabid advocates of the Bland Allison bill. If that statement is correct it would have been hardly possible to choose a more unfit man for the position of Director of the Mint. The official who occupies that responsible and delIcate office ought to be first of all scientific man, but it is said that Burchard has no scientific capacity. In the second place he should be man of sound economical training, and not flIghty scIolist, such as every silver inflltionist is of necessity. If ths Adminis- trau0n wishes to have the country com mitled to the single ai!ver standard We can understand why 1t should have maue a selection like this, but on the theory that it is desired to maintain the gold standard the appointment Is inexplicable. It appears, if the Times is right, to be not only square defiance of all the theory of civil service re- form, but a Tot less open repudiation of the dictates of common prudence.

The Zulu isaster.

Further particulars of the destruction of the British detachment in South Africa Y the Zulus show that the affair must have re- sembled the annihilaiion of Clusters con- mand by the Indians. The troops were falFly overwhelmed by the masses of the enemy, who were so numerous that the losses inflicted on them could not materially cheek the impetus of their advance. There were some fifteen thousand of them, and they precipitated themselves bodily upon lhe British, and cgaliy crushed them. The c >e was one ot .-se ia which arms of D e csion failed, be use of numerical inferior lty Even Snyder rifles and unlimited ammu- nition could not enable five hundred men to make head against fifteen thousand. Our own soldiers who fell with Custer were caught in precisely the same kind of trap, and apparently both 'he disasters must be attributed to the same fault, namely, fail ure to appreciate the cumulative capacity of savage races. Both the Cheyennes and Zulus understand the use or breech- loading rifles, and possess them, and as their bravery cannot be questioned it is kind of mid summer madness to regard them as though they could be dr rIven like sheep before a iusillade, or could be safely faced with greatly inferior numbers.

A Buried Forest,

1t has recently been discovered that an oak forest lies buned in the NalIey of the Fulda, near R"seuburg, Hesse Cassel, Ger many, at a depth of from six 10 nine rect below the surface. The wood iJurished at 2 very remote period. The greater number of the trees discovered were in good pres ervation; but owing to the action of the water through unnumbered ages they have become thoroughly black in color. They have aso become very hard and close, so that they would be good material for cary ing and ornamental work Some of the trees are of great size. One taken out of a gravelly portion of the bed opposite the villa5e of Blumbach, sud since sent to the Geological Museum of Berlin, was 59 feet long, nearly feet in diameter lesr the root, and about 3s inches at the top. Even lar ger specimens have been found: It is TO. ported that the furniture and fittings of the Geological Museum at Marburg are to be made from Ihis long-buried timOer. It is not yet decided whether those buried oaks belong to a species still existing or to an ex- tinct one

THE ARIZONA LOTTERY.

In our advertising columns to-day will
 be found the announcement of lottery t' be drawn on the fourth of June, next, n this place by the Arizona Lottery Company under ihe charter granted by our last legis ture IL rnay not be generally known tha the lottery franchises 2 anted by Kentucky Georgia. Missouri, Louisianna. Maryland North Carolina and Deicware have all ex pired, CT are about 10 expire, and that Dele ware alone has renewed the franchise Arizona comes to the front prepared to reaI for her capitol and school fund, some of the benefits derived from lotteries by older communities. Millions of dollars each year are expended in the United States for th. purchase Of ticxets in the Havana Lottery and there is no good reason why lo,iere: nnder ihls ArizoEa charter should not take the place of the Cuban institution.
 It is. ws are informed, the aim of those who control the Arizona Lottery Company, to build up an institution that will rival the Havana Lottery Tn impcs,snce, and sup plsnt it in business in the United States There is no reason why this cannot he done. We are already in telegraphic communicA. tian, aud will before many months, he iu communication by rail with the rest of the country. The citizens of tho border states Of Mex co vil become constant customers, and all who buy lottery tickets anywhere. will be led to purchase in the Arizona lot tery. All that is needed is perfect tsirness and accuracy and thIs we are assured will be bad. The first lottery announced is a comparatively small one, and the tickets will doubtless all be sold in Arizona and adjacent territories. This ~ill be followed by q scheme wherin half B million dollars will be distributed in prizes, and the estsb- Iisament of agencies all over the east.
 Success to the enterprise, for if success f.l. as we believe it will be, it will fill up our capitol and school funds, aud help Co nayertiss Arizona, and ii those interested make fortune out of it, they will deserve ii for their enterprise and energy.
