EvENLy BALANCED.

The recent elections show that the
Democratic and Republican parties are
pretty evenly balanced throughout the
Union. The proportionately large Re-
publican majorities in some of the
Northern States are eqnalized by large
Democratic maiorities in some Of the
Southern States, while in the great
States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Massachusetts,, in
which the aggregate vote was over two
and half millions, the difference be-
tween the parties does not exceed
ninety thousand. This is "a hopeful in
dication of good government. When
parties are SO nearly equally divided as
to make the result of an election un-
certain, capable and honest men are
generally nominated for office, whereas,
when either party has an overwhelming
majority, and nomination ensures al
election, scheming and corrupt polltl-
clans get control of the party ma
ehinery and ran it to a1varce personal
interests. Citizens who have the well
fare of the whole country at heart, and
who prefer good government to party
success, should discountenance every
attempt to array one section of the
Union solidly against the other.
All parties agree that the Re-
indissolubly bound together, and it
should be tine aim OF the people,
north and south, east and west to en-
courage amicable relations between all
sections and accord to each and, every
citizen, the rights and privileges guar
anteed him by the Constitution and the
laws, regardless of what has political
opinions are now or may have been.
Ii Republicans in one section and Dem
ecrats in another section are permitted
to ostracise and prosecute men who diff
fer from them politically, third party
may some time get in the ascendency
and make it a criminal ofense to be
either Republican or Democrat. 1t
is a noticeable fact. and one which
shows the glaring inconsistencies of
politicians, that the public men who,
and the political journals which, have
been loudest in their complaints against
the probability Of ''solid South" on
political issues, are the most untiring

Postmaster-General Key, who was
made member of Hayes Cabinet in
accordance with the Wornasley Hotel
bargain, by which the Brigadiers in
Congress voted against obstructing the
count to make Hayes President wheth-
err elected or not, is reforming the Pos
tai Service in accordance with his ad.
vanced ideas of mail matters. One of
his first orders was to make men who
are employed on the postal-cars wear
livery, with the hope, probably, that
they would be designated as Keys

In his annual report, General Sheri-
dan says that Indian wars, which cost
the country millions every year in
maintaining al army, are due to simple
mismanagenent-to an insuifioiency of
place of hunting; or. perhaps, to con-
slant shifting Of Indians from their
homes to less healthy regions, invaria-
bly, followed by homesickness which
is so intense that it frequently termin-
ates fatally; or, again, to a lack of gov
eminent among the Indians, except
their own tribal laws and decisions,
which are either ignored by the whites
or made a ground of war.

1t has frequently been said that no
horse could equal the record of man
in six-day race. The failacy of this
notion was demonstrated in the recent
San Francisco contest between men and
horses. a coamon looking beast from
livery stable, called Pinafore, trav-
eled 500 miles, beating the best human
performance, that Of Weston, by nine
miles. Pinafore is a gelding, eight
years old, without a pedigree. He was
not famed by the race. Two other
horses made 543 and ga miles, while
the foremost man scored only $40 miles.

\ correspondent of the San Fran cisco Bullettn has this ro say of Phn- nix:
 Phoenix is busy thriving town of, should say, about 2,0O0 inhab;- tants many of tlem being American ized Mexicans Ii is situated in the Salt River Valley. and is in the midst of a fine agricultural country
 The buildings of which it is compos- ed are principally of adobe. but there are some fine brick stores now in course of construction. It is regular ly laid ont with wide streets, on either side of which are rows of cot tonwood trees that afford ample shade. There are three grists mills in and near Phoenix, and these fur nish much of the flour ;hat is con sumed in the Territory. The ap- proach to Phoenix through groves of trees and fields of grain cel ltainly presents a delightful contrast to the country one passes through before reaching it. Verify it is an oasis in the desert, as every one must ac- knowledge. Take it altogether il is a prosperous town, one that is des tined to be at no distant period one, if not the most important point in the Territory.

DURING the past month, many of our citizens have added 10 the beauty of their homes, in the planting uI fruit anF ornamental trees. Instead Of the cottonwood, which has hereto fore been the principal evergreen, the pepper, cypress and cedar are taking its place. Tine fig, orange, lemon, banana and other semi-tropic fruits are now to be seen growing in many gardens with as much thrift as at Los Angeles and other favored localities. In but short time our valley will be what the Santa Clara and San Jose valleys are to Califor- Hia, the great valley of fruit.
