THE ELECTION.

The grand old Republican party, which has stood by the flag of our Nation through the hours of darkness, has again shown its hand. The Empire State places Cornell in the Governors chair and leaves Tammany in confusion. X new deal will now be made in the Empire State, and many of the errors heretofore pracuced by the Demo cratic Governors, will ne avoided. Wis consir comes up with boom, having gained the last two years, e3,00o, as we are told by the electric wires that she rolls in ma jority of 2s,oOO. Spoeny Ben. Butler has been laid on the shelf, and Long, the Re- publican candidate, elected beYong question Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have each elected Republican Governors, and also their legislative ticket. Thus it will be seen that the good example set by Cali fornia and Maine hss been followed. From Occident te Orient the voice of the people is outspoken, and 1t is clearly demonstrated tbst Liberty and Law must, and will be upheld, even if it comes to question oi North against South.

IRON rHoRoUaHFAREs.

The first of these to penetrate our Terri tory was the Southern Pacific, which is steering its course eastward with view of either connecting with the Atlantic and Pacific or the Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe roads. Along the lines of the Southern Pacific, the country has been settled ct every available point and times are generally brisk, showing that the road of iron is not such a monster of an anaconda as our friend Benj. Morgan would have it. The psssibil- ties of the Southern Pacific connecting with the A., T. & s. F. road we consider slim, from the fact that the managers of the latter route have openly declared against connecting with anything save the ocean, the great natural highway of commerce. therefore the outlet of the Southern Pacific will be through Texas, connecting with Tom Scott's road.
 Taking these things into consideration, 1t is more than likely that the A., T. < s. F. read, after tapping tho valley of the Rio Grande. will steer its course directly west ward and push with all possible celerity to Guaymas in Mexico, as that porthas advan- tages unsurpassed for securing the trade of the old world. If this proves to be the programme of our friends who are crossing New Mexico with their iron thoroughfare, Northern Arizona may confidently expect to be connected with the cast by rail, next season.
 The Utah Southern is slowly vending its way toward the borders of our Territory, and there is possibility that it will make a connection somewhere in Yavapai County with the A. T. & s. r, road, however, the chances are that it will never cross the Col orado, but keep on 10 the Pacific, making San Diego terminus. These routes above mentioned are all out on the wide desert and must of necessity push on 10 their ter miual points and we believe they will ter minate as we have stated.

The English Mission.

It Is reported that the President startled Mir. Eyarts on Thursday by offering him the place of United Statrs Minister to England. Inasmuch as such an offer from the Presi- dent, if it was a surprise tO the Secretary, was equivalent to an invitation to take him. self out of the Cabinet, it may we'll have been startling, because it must imply that the Secretary has dissatisfied the Executive with his recent demonstrations in favor oi the stalwarts. and. naturally, he could not precisely tell whether it was because he had been too stalwart or not stalwart enough. But we rather doubt the report that thIs proffer of the mission was a surprise to the Secretary; for, in fact, the appearances are that he had already guessed that the Presl- dent had an intention of that sort, and even that he himself might accept the place, and that he hsd toned his recent campaign speech with a view 10 those facts. For if a man goes 10 London just at the end of a Presidential term he may not want ts come home few months later. and Ifhis staying there is to depend upon the will ofa new President of the s'alwart stripe, why, it is wise 10 stand well with the stalwarts.-N. Y. Herald.

SILVER KING MINE.

The late strike in this wonderful mine puts at rest forever, the theory that Arizona mines are only grass root deep. A GO foot cross-cut at a depth of 150 feet, in the new shaft, revea,s bouy of high grade ore of almost Incalcuable extent. The cross-cut is in so,id ore from the beginning, and as yet the opposite wall has not been reached. It is the intention of the superintendent to put the shaft dswn l00j feet and run shafts at proper intervals preparatory to stopping, if reduction works are erected in connection wIth the mine, which is contem plated. Steam hoisting works and cage have been ordered for this shaft and 1t is 10 pushed down with all possible speed. Shaft No i, 400 feet east of the working shaft has attained at a depth of 800 feet, where an uninterrupted body of ore, unsurpassed in richness or extent by any other mine on the Pacific Coast, from wall to wall, distance of S6 feet. The vein is unbroken from top to bottom of this shaft. and it, together with its drifts and winzes show that there are millions in it.n Nearly one-third of all the bullion shipped from the Territory last year was taken from this shaft and its vari- ous levels. The King has a future that will dwarf the recollection of the Comsteck, and that in the near future, and while this is the case, other mines in Pinal County will mark an era in silver mining in Arizona.-Silver Belt.

Our reports over the wires to-day confirm those of yesterday, but arc somewhat more complete. It is now pretty well settled that New York will have a Republican ma jority m the next legislature, which elects s Senator. Nebraska, which was not re- ported yesterday, is announced in the Re- publican list, and Maryland has gone its usual way. Tilden, it is thought, is a dead duck.

NOT THE HEAD OF CHAVEZ.
The Bandit Dies a Month Ago, in Sonora, of
 e Fever.

It is pretty generally known here that the father of Chavez, the famous Lieuten- ant of Vasquez, resides in Los Angeles. We learned yesterday, from ex-Sheriff Rowland circumstance which throws @ curious light on the story of Chavez having been killed near Maricopa Wells, and of his head hay ing been cut off and brought to California. The details eff the bandits tragic death were published at the time in every news paper in the United States almost, aud the bloody trophy excited thrill of horror on its passage through Los Angeles. The whole incident had a flavor of medieval ferocity. It now appears that the senior Chavez received a letter the other day from one Gomez, a member of Vasquez's gang. dated at Quiavacca, Sonora, informing him that his son had died there of fever about a month ago. Thereupon the old man broke the silence he had hitherto main taiaed. He tad DO reserve iu telling his friends that he knew the truth all the time. When the s0- called head of Chavez, jr.. was brought to Los Angeles the father, not believing the story of his sons death. called 10 see it. He at once detected the cheat; but, fearful of setting the officers of the law on hs sons track, he maintained a discreet and her metic silence until the authentic news of his son dying a natural death relieved him of the obligation to maintain further se- crecy. The query naturally arises: Whose head was it that was packed around Cali fornia as that sf the famous brigaud7"-L. A. Herald.
