The extraordinary news comes to us from
Switzerland that American coal is now being
introduced into that country and is rapidly
becoming the popular and only fuel used
there. During the past few years American
coal has been introduced into Italy, and your
sunny Italian now warns himself almost
solely by fires made with coal mined In Penn
sylvania or West Virginia. The introduction
and use OF our coal in Switzerland is still more
extraordinary. That an article as bulky as
coal can be carried across the Atlantic,
through the Mediterranean and thence by
rail over the Alps, to warm the people of Ge-
neva, cheaper than that dug in Its immediate
vicinity, Is one Of the greatest wonders of
commerce. European ignorance of this cour,-
try cannot much longer exist, now that
almost all the countries Of Europe dapend
upon the United States for dress, aud food
and fuel.

EQUALIZATION OF ASSESSMENTS,

Once more we appeal to our legislators to
turn their earnest attention to the all-im-
portant subject of the equalization of the
assessments Of this city and State. We make
no special appeal for city or country: we
champion neither. Both together constitute
the State OF Louisiana. and we advocate the
cause of the State.
We do not advocate the increase Of the
assessments Of the country In order to lift
the burden from the city. No, we have no
doubt the property Of the country is. on the
whole, assessed quite high enough. We know
that, under the existing labor system, it Is all
the great mass Of our agriculturists can do
to make both ends meet, and God knows they
pay enough of taxes. But we do ask, aye. we
urge, that the assessments Of this city be
lowered brought down to standard not
over s75,OOO.0Oo. There cannot be doubt
that real estate is assessed all over
This city Ear above its market value.

Apparently undisturbed by its Afghan CAM
paign, England is venturing into another
war, this time with Citiwayo, King OF the
zulus, semi-negro tribe Of Southern Africa,
England has already had good deal OF
trouble with this monarch, who lives just
over the border from the colonies of Natal
and Cape Colony, and who seems to have q
partiality for the cattle of the English colon
lists. In several skirmishes the Zulus have
proved troublesome antagonists; they are
well armed, fairly disciplined, and updoubt-
eddy brave and blood-thirsty AS they num-
Der 10000 fighting men, this war is likely tn
cost England pretty sum of money. One Of
the demands of the ultimatum made on Cit,.
wayo by the English is that he shall allow the
young men of his tribe to marry whenever
they please, which the king does not at pres
ent do. The reason given for this demand by
the English commander is that it will put an
end to the almost uninterrupted wars in which
the Zulus are engaged. The young men, II
they marry, will have enough in the way ol
war at home, and will not feel inclined to 60
on exp editions against the English.

The rule which now maintains In the Sen
ate OF clearing the calendar every day Is
very deserving of commentator. That it Is
enabled to do this, is mainly due to the con-
spicuous abilities OF Lieut.. Governor Wilt
as q presiding officer. With an officer In the
chair less firm and consistent In adherence to
the regular order of business, or less rapid
and just In his rulings. such promptitude In
the dispatch of business, would be impossible.
In thus commencing Lieut.. Gov. Wilt, we
but echo the praise that is freely given him
on all sides. The Oldest and most exper-
fenced parliamentarians universally concede
that they have never known presiding OH
Ger Of any deliberative assembly who dis
patched business with more celebrity or sat

Mr.. Atkins, Of 4 ennessoe. Of the House
Committee on Ways and Means. reported
yesterday bill TO repeal the duty on qui-
nine. The attention Of the country was
called some time since to this duty, which
does not pay the country u cent. but places a
large sum Of money annually In the pockets
OF two Philadelphia monopolles. This coun-
try Ii the greatest consumer OF quinine In
the world, needing 100000 ounces year.
Almost all OF this quinlne Is purchased from
these two Philadelphia firms who, thanks to
this duty, have been pocketing $3.50, 900 year.
The wealth Of these firms already exceeds
100000 and they are daily growing richer
ut the expense of the sick and suffering.

There were found twenty-five demagogues
In Congress TO vote for Henrick Wright's
bill to give 160 acres and $500 in cash &c
every laborlng man in this country out Of
employment. This bill was one OF the wild.
est ever presented to Congress, and would
have bankrupted the country in year, with.
out beneiitlng anybody. There was, Of
course, no possibility Of Its passing; 1t was
sthought, however, that II would not secure
more than seven or eight votes. The fact
that twenty-five members voted for IL shows
that there are just that many demagogues in
Congress who fear their defeat for reelection,
unless they proptlate the unemployed work
ingmen OF their districts by voting for this OF
some similar Utopian scheme.

THE LOTTERY BILL.

| We refer our readers TO the able and elabo-
rate majority report Of the judiciary Com
mittec Of the Senate In favor Of the bill re-
pealing the charter Of the Lottery Company,
printed by us this morning. Two members
OF the committee, Messrs. Heron and Stubbs,
assign special reasons for concurring in the
majority report. The papers presented by
these gentlemen are able and conclusive from
their respective standpoints. Mr.. Heron
valves the question OF vested rights,
and declares, as q legislator, that he
has no right to pass upon this question,
which is purely judicial one, for the courts
and not the Legislature to decide He re-
serves his opinion upon the merits OF the
question, and very correctly says that the
only way In which q definitive settlement OF
this much disputed question Of law can BIO
reached Is by passing the bill repeating the
charter OF the Lottery Company, thus refer
ring the constitutionality OF the repeating act
to the courts. 1t Is pure question OF law,
belongs to the courts, can be passed on mo-
where else than In the courts, and can be
brought there by no other process than the
one proposed. For these reasons, and they
are all that need be given, Mr.. Heron concurs
In the majority report.
Mr.. Stubs pursues an entirely different
process OF reasoning. He Celebrates with
sound argument and high authority the posi-
ton taken in the majority report-that lot
teries do not belong to that order of institu-
tions which can acquire vested rights against
the State-that the granting or revoking OF
their charter privileges Is question affect
ing public morals and the peace and good
order Of society, and must forever remain
subject to the police powers of government,
which are Inherent and cannot be Invested.
The only difference between Mr.. Stubs and
Gen. Heron Is upon the right of legislator
to pass upon the question of vested rights.
Mr.. Heron says he has no such right and he
votes for the bill in order to bring the matter
before the courts for final adjudication Mr..
Stubbs assumes that it is his duty, as q
legislator, to form an opinion upon this sub
ject and to vote In accordance Herewith. He
concludes that the lottery has no rights,
vested or otherwise which the Legislature
cannot lawfully divest, and he accordingly
votes for the bill.
The gentlemen signing the minority report
assert the old argument of vested rights and
the exclusive jurisdiction OF the Legislature
In regard thereto. The gentlemen who think
this way are Senators Garland, Breaux,
Wheeler and Harding

Gossip on Our New I1illss

We have definite information of three quartz mills now being made in Chicago for Arizona mines. One of these, of 100 stamps, is said to be for the famous old Vulture mine, near Wickenburg. An other, smaller one, is for Globe District under the auspices of A. C. Hesing; and the other is said to be for mines of Mir. Cherry, in Yavapai County. The iron work of ten-stamp mill has already been bought at Chicago and St. Louis for the Moreno mine, in this County. MT. J. C.. Waterman is now absent from the Terri tory buying and shipping mill for the San Antonio gold mines, of Sonora, but so near the boundary line as to be prac- tically Arizona mines. The new mill for the Contention mine, of Tombstone Dis trict, is about finished, and shipments of it are due here at any day. The new mill for the Tiger mine is already being de- livered on its site. It IS as perfect mill, in every respect, as could be made, and is only equalled by that for the Tombstone Mining Company, which is also now on wagons ant well on the road from here to Its destination Both these last two arc furnished with revolving cylinders for drying ores after they leave the rock. breaker and before they enter the nor. tars; this is claimed as a vast improve. ment over the iron drying floors. The Arivaca and Aztec mills are fast being got ready for business. MT. Neahr's new stamp mill, at Chimney Peak, has now been running over ten days, ahd wt expect good accounts of it by the first steam boat down. Of the older mills we hear less talk, but regular shipments o
 bullion passing through here indicate their activity. There are rumors of sev. eral other mills destined for Arizona
 which we shall publish as rapidly as they are verified.

Who am Huildin dat Rairroadr

Hamburg Butler submitted a resolution in the Senate last Tues day, directing the Secretary of the Interior to inquire and report what railroad company or indi- viduals are building railroad across the public domain in Ari- zona, and by what authority such road is being constructed. Agreed to.
 The high-toned nigger-kilIer of Edgefield County evidently wants tO know who DAREs to add value to solitudes of the public domain; to make them accessible to the settler; to bring blows to their virgin soil: to give them unwont- ed echoes of workshop and com- merce; and to give birth to their treasures of silver and gold, by building railroads through them without largess from the National Treasury, and without making a Hwy" with National Sena- tors.

Our Mall to Mineral Park.

A contract was let for carrying mails from Ehrenberg Gin this County to Min eral Park twlce week, in sixty hours. The contractor failed to put on service. MT. A. Frank carried the mail until Oct. 1st, and then drew of, owing to insuffiency of pay allowed by the P. O. Department. From that date until Dec. 18th no mail at all was carried on that route. Since then a pretense has been made of performing the service; but the work (intil Jan. Sth, since which date we have no inform a. tion) was done only once tceek, with eight small mules, in all. The first mail, on the resumed service, left Fhrenberg Dec. 18th, and reached Mineral Park on the 25th. Mail matter that left Yuma Dec. 2St.; reached Aubrey (on this same route, 40105) January 7th. Local postmasters have re- ported these, and similar things, repeated ly-we have seen copies of their letters. As no notice seems to be taken by the P. O. Dept, it is to be suspected that con- blaming letters have been pigeon-holed by some clerk subsidized by contractors. If a technical defect appears in the quarterly returns Of some fourth-class postmaster, the Department writes him stern repr mand, and threatens his removal from o1' fee. But contractors seem to have cor; rupt influence enough to enable them with impunity to violate law, disregard regulations and eYade their contracts.
 To obtain increase of pay the contractor secured an increase of service to three times a week and a decfease of time to 4e hours. Orders were issued to that effect The contractor may be drawing his in. creased pay; but up to Jan. Sth, we learn he was making only one trip week.
 Is this "Civil Service Reform?"
 It appears that the mail is taken from the Ehrenberg postoffice in accordance with conditions of contract-twice week but parties living along the route inform us that this mail passes over the road only once a week. Col. WhippIe, formerly ot the 18th Wis. Vol, is agent at Ehrenberg for the present mail contractor. At the late election, and since, he was an earnest advocate of "reform," "rights of the peo ple," "purity of elections" honest3, and other well-worn, hypocritlcal battle cries. We are 10th to believe that ht would help contractor defraud the peo pie, by receiving the mail twice week and having it carried only once; yet i looks somewhat that way now. Int Ehrenberg postmaster ought to look int this matter, and report to the Postofice De partment, if the people of Mohave Count. are still being defrauded of their rights tC mail service.
