Extracts from Speech delivered In the Hous' of Representatives in Congress, April 24th Iss0, by Hon. Chas. IT. Joyce of Vermont.

If the government has the power to pre- serve its own life; If it has the authority to put its foot upon the neck oftreasop, put down revolution, and crush out red handed rebel lion; if it has the constitutional strength to guard and protect the citadel of American liberty and the very ark of our political covenant, then surely it must have the power to protect the voter from democratic intimidation and violence. and guard the ballot box from fraud and corruption. In the courage and firmness of the executive and the republicans in Congress are the hope and safety of the country.
 On thIs issue, as made up, am in no dou6t as to the position should take. am in favor of honest elections and pure ad- miulstration of the government, and there fore opposed to the repeal of the laws which alone render them possible. am not to be frightened from my position by threats, nor prevented by intimidation from doing my duty. l am opposed to the payment of rebel var claims and the restoration of con- federate soldiers to the pension roll, or to giving any man or party an undue advan- tage which may lift him or them above and beyond the reach of the constitution a1d laws
 Iibclieve that treason is wicked and re- bellion a crime, and that broad distinction should ever be maintained between the rood citizen who risks his life for the Gov ernment and the traitor who tries to destroy t.
 By an attempt to usurp the whole powers of legislation, the democratic majority in this House has forced upon the country an oxtrasession of Congress, and for the evils it entails to tho trade and prosperity of the country that party is responsible. They threaten to stop the wheels of gov ernment by with, holding supplies, but they dare not do it, if they do, not single Dem- ocrat will be returned to the forty-seventh Congress from any Northern State.
 They have been allowed, after forfeiting citizenship, and even life itseli, to come back to the halls of legislation, but must not be suffered to destroy the Government or to endanger its existence.

Saw Mills in Yayapai County.

!. Near Prescott, there are three mills con stantIy buzzIng away tearing out at least 3O.OOO fl. of frst-class lumber, daily, winch goes off about as fast as il is manufactured. At Mipnehaba, MT. Patterson has good mill running, making excellent lumber. In Bradshaw Basin, Messrs. Bowen, Knowles & Co. have their mill in full blast making boards, scantIiDg and timber for quartz mills, dwelling houses, barns, stables, etc. B;y Bug District also has its sawmill now ready to run, and in day or two, Gosper & Co. will have their CheTry Creek mill in full blast making material, for buildings, fencing and other purposes, on the Verde.
 East of Camp Verde, in the extensive pine forest of the MogollOn, our Mormon neichbors have good mill which is kept running regularly, supplying the settle ments on the Little Colorado.
 Thus it will Dc seen that in Iavapai County. seven extensive sawmils are kept in the manufacture of lumber, all of which is immediately carried away on wagons and nut into buildings, etc, which of itself will give the stranger pretty good idea of the advancement being made in Northern Arizona

SENATOR MINE.

We hear that negotiations are in progress for the transfer of the Senator mine to New York incorporation, who will proceed to develop this valuable mining property as it should be developed, viz: by means Of tunnel from point near the bed ot Has sayampa creek, cutting the ore chimney at 1. depth of seven hundred feet from the sur face. and effectually draining the mine, without any expense for machinery or pumping, and opening five years supply of ore for stopping and two thousand feet ot unurospected ground for exploration. If tbls plan of working had been pursued years ago. the Senator would have been yiels:ag its regular fifty thousand dollars per month in gold bullion nght along, ID placr of being silent and filled with water. The causes which led to suspension of work on the Senator are well known to our m,ning men. We desire 10 make no un- friendly comment upon the management or rather mismanagement of the gentleman who formerly worked the mine. He paid for his lack of capital, knowledge and bnsl- ness capacity by losing property worth half million or more. Certainly the fault was not with the mine, for the ledge never looked better than on the day when the water drove the miners out of the working shaft. The new company will have a splen' did property which can be worked cheaper than any quartz mine in Arizona, and which contains we'll developed paying ledge.

!HINES AND MINING.
I.oyalis.

Now that quiet and peace reigns su- preme with Arizona-the war whoop and scaIping knife are things of the past-cap- ital is coming to our relief. The mountains of silver and gold are giving up their treas ures in abundance, encouraging those who have stayed with their finds during the many "dark days" from which we have just passed, and the new comer who is willing to cast his lot and pitch his tent with us. From every direction we have glaring ac' counts of rich discoveries and of old ones yielding high grade ore. No longer does the capitalist look at our valuable proper ties with distrust, but is rather more anxious to invest than is the prospcctor willing to depart with his bonanza. Many leads have been prospeolod fur down into the bowels of the earth, and not yet, in tl,ls section of Arizona, have we heard of one single in stance where the vein has given out, but on the contrary they have wideRed, ana the ore becomes richer with every stroke of the
 pick, as the anxious miner works his way
 down towards the roots of the mountains
 With railroads couiug to us from every dl- rcction, bringing in large emigration of gold and silver seekers; with quartz mills springng into existence like magic; with the reduction in all kinds of upplies, and the grand test the mineral veins of our Territory srs standing, We should feel proud of our bright and hopeful condition

MINERAL IN ARIZONA.

The territory Is rich in gold and silver in
 many parts. The great silver belt, how ever. so far as yet developed, commences about forty miles south of the Great Grand Bend of the Colorado, in the northwestern paft of the territory, and extends in llne varying in width from forty to eighty miles southeasterly tO the Gila River, and thence southerly to the Mexican line on the southeastern portion Of the territory. There is A break in this hne about seventy miles to the northward of Tucson. 10 offset which scattered mines and dry placers are found in the western portion of Pima county, the mineral resources of which have been little explored. The extreme southeastern DOT :ion of the territory, adjacent to the Chirl- cahua and Dragoon mountains. however, IS prououpced bare of the precious metals. But this statement must be taken subject to further exploration, of which not much has been made. The reconnaissance ot the Mexican Boundary Commission, over twen- fy-five years ago, is the only official exam fnation of that region that has come to our knowledge. And since then, till within two years past, ihe Apache Indians have dominated that portion of the territory es- pcciallv. excluding any thorough prospect
 inc lay miners Now that the Indians are subdued or paci6ed, explorations will be undertaken by the restless prospector which perchance through rich uiscoveries of silver lodes may connect the range oi silver deposits in eastern Arizona and south western Colorado with the silver-eeariug corlIleras of Mexico.-N.

PERSONAL.

Approaching the importance of the great mine ral resources of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona the Inter Ocean has perfected arrangements with J. w. Robbins, Esq, to visit these regions and report his observa- tions for the benefit of its readers. MT Robbins is gentleman of ability and cult. ure, and we think we'll adapted 10 the work he has undertaken. He has for some time been the editor or the Herald, of Aich- ita. Kansas. He will begin his journey on the 5th prox.-I Inter Ocean, Chicago, June 3rd.
 The above editorial notice from the Chi cag0 Inter Ocean explains the bushes: which carries MT. Robbins on his trip through the Territories. He will leave Monday next to join ex-Governor Powers and party at Otero, New Mexico. From that point the party will travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico. where Nr. Robbins will leave the party for GOO miles of staging through New Mexco and Arizona. The bus iness on which he goes, is tt thoroughly investigate the sections he visits, paying especial attention to the tamed mineral resources of the same, ana to "write up" for the Inter Ocean. He will spend two months in the Territories where the liberaIity of the Nauonal Mail and Transportation Company will enable him tc visit every point of interest, that Company having rendered the Inter-ocean the use oi extra horses whenever its correspondent desired to leave the man route. Mir. Rob- bins arrived at Wingete few days since where he concluded to lsy Gp for repairs and await the arrival of ex-G Gov. Powers and wife of Mississippi and Capt. Shahan ofCleve- land, at that place, when he will join them and come through to Prescott, where the party ssvcct to arrive by the U th inst

A Pew Tigure. Regarding the Trade of
 Egypt

As the late Khedive has now departed Tor Naples, after a reckless and extrayarant ca- Ieer in Egypt, we taKe the following figures from the .Egyptian Statistical Tablesu Tor 1878, issued by Messrs. Moss < Co, oi Alexandria and Liverpool. The exports oi Egyut were. in 1876, el6, 1000, 900; in isII, ei5,5O0. 900; and in 1878 fell to fS.304, 900. Tins is accounted for by the fact that Egypt is a purely agricultural coGntry, and that its production has greatly fallen on. Cotton. cotton seed and sugar were all be- low the average, while ihe export of wheat fell from s50,0O0 ardebs in 1877 to 67,OOO in 1878, and of beans from 930,00O to 2s0, 900. Elephants teeth tell from e12, 900 to 5000. The imports, however, show a light increase, having been e4, 50O,O 900 Tn 1876, A, ,506, 900 in 1877, and f4.96S, 300 m ITS. The main cause of the diminished production WAS the deficient supply oi water in the Nile in 1871; but the rise of the Nile this year, according to latest ac- counts, will ensure periOd of large crops and of prosperity very much needed Tn q country winch is so burdened with taxes.

San Francisco Wool Marke,,

Early sales of choice woois were made at lsc.0 200, but the price rapidly rose tn 27c, and even higher for fancy lots. Freights by rail during most of the season have been age. per pound, and Oy saihng vessels one cent, the latter ti king double the quantity they did last year. The totsl receipts at San Francisco for the past sis months were 1s.273,0O0 pounds, exclusive of 2,31s,O39 pounds sent from the interior by rail, making the total production of California for that period 20, ,651 ,039 pounds. The receipts of Oregon were 3,l64, l90 pounds, which, with 100000 pounds oir hand on January ist, give a total supply in California aud Oregon of about 5.900, ,0GO for the the six mon;hs.-Hews Letter.

QUARTZ MILLS IN YAvAPAI COUNTY.

Yavapai County has now twelve quartz mills with one hundred aud two stamps, or more thsn all the rest of the terrItory com bined. It is true that not all of these mills are in active operation, as some of them arc now being put up, while others are under going repairs, however, it IS safe to conclude that all of these mills will be doing the good work of producing bullion by the lsi of September. Below we give list of the ..,;Its and locations etc.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1879-07-11

Besides the numerous mills there are many rastras in active operation, being run by horse, water and steam power, all Of which arc turning out considerable bullion. Again we have two or three smelters which do good work and are the means of giving em- ployment to many hard working miners. The good work still continues on, and we hear of many mine owners who are m a fair way of putting their bonanzas into proper working shape, and the chances are favorable for other quartz mills to go up soon.

MORE NEGROES FOR KANSAS.
Kansas City journal, 9.

Tuesday Mayor Shelley furnished
transportation to Topeka for twenty three
poor deluded negroes from the far south,
who had arrived here hungry and penni-
less, and yesterday fourteen more came.
Two or three of them made their way up
town and asked for help. One "Old aun-
tie'' stood at the door of the mayors of
flee and begged piteOusly for something
$50 de chillens to eat" The mayor was
in a desperate strait. His funds were eX
hausted and he didn't know what to do
with them. 1t is absolutely shameful
the way these ignorant and credulous
people are deceived by the inscriptions
sharks, who for the sake af small com.
missOin on their tickets, persuade them
to sell out their chickens and whatever
else they may have in the south and with
the few dollars thus scraped together, tO
start TO Kansas. Utterly false represen-
tations are made to them. They are
made to believe that the state of Kansas
gives forty acres of land and mule tC
every negro family that Will settle in
Kansas, and so firmly are they persuaded
of this that they will scarcely give up the
notion after they arrive here.
1t looks as if it would be necessary fol-
the government of Kansas to take some
action to stop this wholesale importation
of penniless, starving blacks into thai
state. They are no more than so many
objects of charity in many cases. Ole
colored men pass through here every day
whose days for hoeing corn are past
They are lettering with age, and are ut
terly unable to do anything for their OWL
support. Is Kansas grand asylum FOL
decrepit and destitute blacks?
What right has Kansas City to shiI
such paupers into Kansas?

Kansas City Journal


The report of the Kansas state board
of agriculture has many interesting items
of information, one of which gives some
curious facts. We allude to the map
showing the changes in the center of pop
ulation since 1860, accompanying the re-
port. The distances and measurements
given below are from the scale of the
map itself:
In 1860 the center OF population was
at Lawrence, Douglas county.
In 1870 the center had moved east OF
that city 10 miles, being for that year in
the northeast corner of Douglas, almost
on the line of johnson county.
In 1875 we find it had moved west
again 40 miles, northwest from Law
renee to the line between Usage and Ly.
on counties, to point II miles northeast
of Emporia.
In 1878, only three years later, it had
moved almost due west rs miles, to 6
point in Morris county, near its south
| west corner, and 81 miles due south from
Junction City.
In eight years, then, the center of pop
ulatiOn has moved west So miles. Thi:
shows the enormous immigration into
the state, as Kansas is POS miles wide
and 500 miles long.
Another fact shows the equal distribu
ton of population between the north ant
south parts of the state. The center o.
population is 1913 miles west of the east
ern line OF the state, SO miles from the
northern line and no miles from the
southern boundary. 1t is, then, only
miles from the center between north anC
south, being that much in favor of the
northern half of the state. We doubt i
another such a showing can be made il

BLUEGRASS.

The following from the pen of Hon.
G. W. Click, of Atchison county, will be
of interest to many who are DESTROYS of
getting stand of bic grass:
EDTToRs FARMER I'm answer to the
inquiry of F. S. Presbery, can say,
got good bluegrass sod on Two humid
red and forty acres by pastus ing the
prairie grass sod till it eommeaee d get
ting thin or tramped out in pla es, and
then in August scattered fresh bluegrass
seed over the sod in all places where the
prairie sod was thin or tramped out. 1t
will show but little the next year, but
after that it Will spread quite rapidly
from the sod and roots. In this way you
can use the pasture all the time, and as
the prairie grass is tramped out the blue
rapidly usrups its place, and soon will
make a fine sod.
