GEORGIA. VOTED WEDNESDAY FOR
State officers and The Legislature. No
Republican ticket was in the field, and
the contest lay between Colquitt and
Norwood for the Govcrnorship. Col
quit has served one term already. AT
the recent State Convention he came
within few votes of receiving two
thirds, but the convention failed to
make q nomination and adjourned. a
resolution recommending the Demo-
Gratis Of Georgia to vote for Colquiti
passed by n heavy majority. Subsc-
qucntly committee ofnnc represent
ing the minority nominated Senator
Norwood for Governor, and he accept
cd the nomination. The fight has
been bitter in The extreme. CHARGE
after charge has been hurled against
Colquitt, but lie appears to have sue
ccssfully vindicatcd himself. a few
days before the election Colqutt pa
pcrs claimed q majority Of forty thou
sand fyr him. It will now be seen
whether they arc true prophets.
INDIANA, Ono, Iowa AND WEST
Virginia vote OH Tuesday next, the
18th instant. All interest centres ON
Indiana, with some anxiety as TO
Ohio. Both parties have chosen In
diana rs tho battle. field, and each
claims tho State by about ten thousand
majority. The Grccnback vote is the
unknown factor, and Weaver is mov-
ing heaven and earth against the
Democrats. We hope That Indiana
will declare for Hancock, rs such q
course will about put II finishing touch
to the campaign. Without Indiana
either party would find it extremely
difficult to mako Il fight in November.
AS yet the odds in betting arc in favor
OF Hancock and The Democrats. The
Republicans arc working like beavers.
ana tAclr millionairCs arc shclling out
crisp grccnbacks in great abundance,
1t is sad commentary on our condi-
ton that tho government Of the United
States is practically let out to the high
est bidder. In receiving tho returns
OF Indiana, ono thing should be re-
mcmbcrcd. In 1876 it went Demo-
cratic by five thousand. In 1878 the
democratic plurality was fifteen thou
sand. This year the Democrats will be
satisfied with a much smaller plumli-
ty. But rs the press agents in Indiana
aro chiefly Republicans, it is highly
probable that they will compare This
years returns with those for 1878.
instead of those for 1876, and will
thus claim Republican gains. Their
report should be taken with q con-
siderable grain Of allowance.
Again, in Ohio, tho Democrats re-
dlstrictcd the State in 1878 and gained
several congressman. ~ Republican
Legislature has rc-cnactcd tho old
gcTymandcring bill, and cxpcct in
this way to gain Congressman. Thci,,
gam will be apparent only, and Demo-
Gratis must not bo deceived by the re-
ports as they were for whole day IN
1876 about Indiana.

Future Prospects and Resources Of Tue

The future prospects of this city are such as to command the respect and
 attention of every man within the linn its of southeastern Arizona, if not
 those beyond the immediate region for, with the completion of the South ern Pacific railroad to this city and Ihe development of the vast mineral de
 posits 10 be found in all and each of the numerous mountains around us, are such as to awaken the livliest in terest ard highest anticipations and pride of every inhabitant of Pima county. And with the completion of the railroad here, with it's depot and machine shop, we have the nuclus of an interest winch must and will add great wealth and strength to this city as commercial center. There is now in course of construction foundry and machine shops with the means and ca pacity of executing and performing all the vast amount of work and re- pairing required by miners and others in this section. The foundry and m"- chlne shop now being erected by NIT. O'Donnell is to be 50 feet square, IS feet high and when completed will employ one hundred men. We also have here excellent Touring mills which are capable of furnishing all the flour that this section may re quire and of the very best guilty. There is an abundance of wheat raised here to supply all the wants and de mands of the immense population of this county and section, however great il may become. Last but not least is the mineral wealth of this country. Here we have mines already develop ed which actually equal in their pro ductiOns any mine ever worked on this continent, as shown by the following facts and figures, viz: The Contention mine, purchased IS months ago, for $lO,OOG, and then slightly opened and developed, and upon which a mill has been erected with len stamps, and to- day they have ore in sight worth over $3,0O0,0O0 and the owners have been offered that amount for the mIne. And there are other mines in the same and otI CT districts which promise and prove equally as rich. There has becu a rush to the Tombstone, Patagonia, Empire and Arivaca mineral districts heretofore. but it is now found by act ual experience ami demonstration that the hills and mountains here in the immediate vicinity of this city are just as rich in gold and silver as the mIne> above named.

The Times of the 31st has nearly a column on the movements of Califnr- nia capitalists here during ihe last two weeks. Californians oF wealth have been fiocking to New York in squads, and citizen of San Francisco visiting the Boreel building on Broadway, might almost imagine himself in his own city, in the Stock Exchange on Pine street, so many familiar faces would greet him. With bankers leav- ipg san Francisco to establish them selves there, with many clerks and secretaries who are to take charge of offices as soon as they are established. The movement is genuine one, and intended to be permanent is evident from the energy with which i' is pros ecuted and the money behind it.
 The New York Stock Exchange and bank to advance on mining stocks are organized. The first 800 seats in the Stock Exchange will be sold as follows: The first 100 at $1,0O0; the second at $2,O0O; tha third at $3,OOO; the fourth at $5,O0O; the fifth at $1O,- 900. Itis understood in mining circles that the presidency of the bank has been rendered to Milton $. Latham.
 The Times says that the Pacific coast gentlemen engaged in organiz ing this board here did not propose to wait and be buried in the ruins, and when war made in the great industry of the Golden State, they gathered their household goods and came to New York. The result will be tha' all the good mines of the west will in short time be organized here. This city will be the headquarters and dis tributing point for the mines of tho country. and tue management of those of the entire Pacific coa>; will com' here. Geo. D. Roberts stated that th, object of the bank is to facilitate th' purchase and sale of mining stocks and 10 that end we must furnish a. much accommodation as has been GUS tomarily given in San Francisco

Frontier Eai SerUce Tsrr,6ly Crippled
 On the goth instant Postmaster Gen. eral Key made this order:
 In order that there may be no def ciency for the prescott fiscal year. direct that on ard after March 1, 1SSo the service on all star routes he re duced 10 one trip per week, ailowinc one months extra pay, a. prOvIded b law, on services dispensed wl,h. l also direct that the service placed ou new routes since and including July 1, 1879, be discontinued, if the tOre going reduction is not sufficient for the purpose indicated.
 The star" routes are those over which the mails are carried on horse. back and by stages or buckboards Many of them are and have been " daily " for years, and to reduce them 10 one trip per week will cause great inconvenience and damage. Although carried by rall nearly all the way to Tucson, yet we understand the service between here and Yuma is officially starr" but as the railway will run daily trains and the passenger and ex- press traffic will insure daily stages un. til the road reaches here, we are quite sure of daily service from the West after March 1, and all New York, Washington and most other State and Territorial mail comes to us via Call fornia. If the order goes into full effect, and il certainly will unless Con gress apprOpriates the two million dol lars of anticipated deficiency and asked fnr by the Post Office Depart ment, Phenix, Prescott, Globe, Flor ence and other points will soon get but one instead of seven mails per week. While this will be rough on those places, it will work a damage to all who have business connections with them. With mail service but once u week, some of the stage lines and cOntracteis will doubtless suspend altogether.
 For this disastrous blow at all iron tier and other points served by the " star service, Congress and the De partment are about equally censurable Congress appropriated less than the Department estimates for this year, and then is members at once pressed the Department to so increase the ser vice that deficiency was certain. The Department should have not yielded and united it's interests with that Of the people interested to prevail on Congres, to appropriate enough money to give needed service in direct and lawful manner without resorting to such an extraordinary and injurious measure to avoId a violation Of law, which has already been done in spirit If not in letter. Arizona may take some comfort in the reelection that she has plenty of company in this postal affiicliOn.
