North YassaIbor0, Locals.

Our correspondent writes as follows con-
cerning the recent town meeting:
Mr.. Gates, collector, made the proportion
that il the town would pay three per cent.
for collecting, he would settle up with the
town in one year after the tax was committed,
or not charge anything for his services.
The town accepted his proposition. Many
are of the opinion that Mr.. Gates will have
to draw largely of his own funds or fill Au-
gusta Jail Mr.. George NOVEL;, 4 former
collector, who according to the report owes
the town almost $4,000, presented 4 long
list of names for abatement of taxes, amount-
ing TO almost 81 900. The board of Select
men, assisted by Nessrs. Orrick Halves and
Joseph Il. Allen, were appointed a. q com
mission to investigate and examine the list
and report to a town meeting to be called by
them early in the summer, the names Of
those in their Judgment whose taxes should
be abated. We noticed several names on the
list from this village whose taxes might and
ought to have been collected at the time.
Mr.. ii. A. Priest raised the point that the
warrant calling the town meeting was not
properly attested by the constable, consc-
quently the meeting could not be legally
held, but the town voted to proceed. We
understand that 4 serious omission has been
found in the constable's return of the war
rant, which is claimed will necessitate a new
town meeting

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

WAsHISGToN, ID. c., March Is, 1879
To the Editor Of the Joundt:
Congress meets to-day to engage in another
struggle, at the expense of the people, for
certain political advantages which may be
made available in the next campaign. Not
content with the fierce political excitement
which RACES every four years, perpetual war
fare is carried on between the great battles :;
and Congress would change the maxim that
the government is established by the people
and for the people 10 the pernicious idea that
a republic is an oligarchy run by politicians
for politicians.
These frequent meetings for the mere ad-
vaneement of party interest and party power,
will in time become so vearisome to the
American voter, that change in our legisla-
tion will be imperatively demanded. The
last session particularly points the moral Of
the tale. The country was recovering from
the Presidential contest, the next campaign
was two years away, resumption was sure,
there seemed to be no obstacle in the way of
a business session. Two grave question
stared Congress in the face, the Indian prob-
lem and the difficulties attendant upon our
present electoral system. That the Indian
troubles are serious and likely to become

The Ruling Power.

The democratic party takes possession of
the two Houses Of Congress, and who takes
possession of the democratic party?
There are ~ democratic Senators, and -
of them come from the South. Only scat
tered democratic Senators from all the North
More than three-fourths of their majority
from the States lately in rebellion or in full
sympathy with them! Now turn to the
Mouse. There are l4s democratic members,
and 100 of the number come from the South
more than two thirds! The Northern States,
with their great population, intelligence, pro-
gress and PATRIOTISM send As democrsts-or
about two to State. The Is Southern States
send lo0-or practically solid delegation.
Thus the democratic party rules Congress
and the South rules the democratic party.
In any policy upon which that section is
agreed, il can dictate the Legislative action
The majority Of the caucus decides the ma
jority of both Houses, and the South musters
more than two-thirds of the caucus. The
legislation of the Republic passes into the
hands OF those who but a fow years ago were
in arms to destroy it. 1t is an amazing spec
tacle which presents the Confederates of re-
cent memory Is the rulers of to-dsy-amaz-
ing even If there were nothing but memories
10 divide US, and still more amazing in view
of the conflicting interests.
The South pays little of the tax; it wants
subsidies and appropriations; it wants river
jobs and hsrbor Improvements, not for real
purposes of commerce but to feed localities
it comes forward with claims and seeks to
reach its hand into the treasury. 1t has
deeply suffered and is greatly impoverished
beyond doubt; its struggle to help itself out
of the treasury is perfectly natural; as it
furnishes comparatively little of the revenues
whatever it secures will be clear gain. The
South is master again in the Capitol. If it
wishes to pension JEFF Davis, it has the votes
to carry it through Congress. If it wishes to
nullify the Constitutional amendments, it has
the strength to carry its destructive legisla-
tion through the two Houses. Its only check
nov is in the White House, and it hopes to
capture that next year.-AtJany Jouraal

impending Trouble.

just as the business of the country is be-
ginning to revive the extra session of Con
gress comes in to disturb the quiet so
necessary to a return of confidence and
the restoration of prosperity.
The democrats in Congress will assume
heavy responsibility if they undertake to
carry out the revolutionary programme be
fore them. If they would simply pass the
appropriation bills and adjourn the coun-
try would be thankful. Bat that is not
their intent. They propose to insist that
the repeal of the election laws shall go |
with the appropriation bills 81 they will
defeat the latter. They mean to coerce the
Presiavn mt by unlawful and revolutionary
means. Their proposition to him is that
If he vetoes the appropriation bills because
they are loaded with the repeal of the
election laws, then no money will be voted
for the support of government and its
wheels must stop. Ofcourse the situation
If such programme as this is adhered to
will be alarming. Business will receive a
heavy shock. Confidence will again be
rudely shaken. Plans for the future will
stand still or be given up until the end Of
this rash assault upon the Presidential pre-
rogative is known.
There was q hope when the extra ses-
sion began that sound sense and a decent
regard for the welfare of the public would
control the democrats and compel them
to abandon their revolutionary scheme,
but that hope is nearly gone, and the shad-
ow of coming trouble darkens the pros
pect. The desire to give fraud and cor
ruption free course ut the election of 1880,
so that the democratic candidate may re-
ceive the full advantage of every device
for cheating at the ballot-boX, is the CON
trolling motive of the democrats in Con-
gress. This is the sole cause of the extra
session The appropriation bills could
and would have been passed at the first
session but for this.
The President we trust will stand firm.
lie rests upon solid ground. The revolu
tionists will be defeated if he plants him
self immovably upon his constitutional
rights. The country will hold them re-
sponsible for whatever evil results. AL
ready the notes of discomfort and indigna-
ton are being heard in the centres of
business, and they will become louder and
fiercer if the democrats persist in their
unlawful, reckless, unjust scheme.

The New Year. IsnlI-

The most elegant and fashionable ball in Phcnix this season, was that given on New Years night in Wool sey & entworth's hall. The attend ance numbered in the neighborhood of seventy-five couple, and was con- posed of our leading citizens and their ladies. The toilettes of the latter would have been creditable to the large cities of the Pacific slope, and convinced Us that the ladies of this valley are not wanting in that grace and refinement which one meets in older and more settled communities. The supper was prepared by NIT. C. Salari, and a more bountiful or deli ciOus rcpast was never before spread in PheniX. With enchanting music, the assembly "tripped the light fan tastic" until early morn.
 Messrs. Lutgerding and Marian are entitled to much praise for the very efficient manner in which the party was managed.

The Golden Star lIine.

In a deed recorded Thursday after- noon, Joseph A Lawrence transfers one-hulr of all interest that may here after be acquired by him in the prop erty O. the Golden Star mine, Cave creek. Lawrence is the original loca- tor of that property, making it in 1876. Two months later he re-locat- ed the claim to cover a defect in the mining law. Some time after he deeded a one-third interest 10 C. II. Gray and a one-third to w. B. Hell. Ings. Still later he deeded to Killings all his interest, thus giving the latter twO-thirds of that property. But il seems the deed was never acknowl- edged, thus making it illegal, and fol the recovery of which Lawrence has brought suit. The deed recorded Thursday gives one-half of all Inc may gain to Fitch < Churchill, ot Prescott
