The Presidential Election.
Republicans Taken Down a Peg or
Two.
CALIFORNIA, NEVADA AND NEW JERSEY
JOINED TO THEIR IDOLS.

CALIFORNIA, NEVADA AND NEW JERSEY
JOINED TO THEIR IDOLS.
When we went to press last week it
was thought every northern state had
chosen Garfield electors. 1t soon after
became evident that New Jersey and
Nevada had gone back on the Republic
cans and voted for Hancock but not
until yesterday did it become almost
certain that California also had joined
the solid South. The latest advices
from the Golden Gate indicate that
Hancock electors are chosen by from
only 200 to 800 plurality, although no
official returns are yet made, and there
is bare chance that the official figures
will be on the Garfield side, but we do
not expect it, and shall place the cleo
t0ral college this week Garfield 2l3,
Hancock I56.
Although this is not as well as we
hoped week ago, it is yet splendid
victory, and we have nothing to with
draw OF our remarks iaSl week. IL is a
decisive vote and will be so accepted
by the country, although there has been
some loose talk by the Barnums and
Buffers of the Democratic party, of
counting out the vote of New York.
Should this be accomplished President
elect Garfield would not have a MAORI
ty of the electoral college, the election
would be taken into Congress, and a
Democratic House would seat Gen.
Hancock. That was the scheme, but
the better part of the Democratic party
frown on such revolutionary scheme,
and we think itisafe to predict that no
more will be heard of it.
Besides majority in the electoral
college, it is admitted that Garfield and
Arthur have a majority of the popular
vote. Some figure it out as high as 3d.
600, while other estimates are quite
small 1t is a noticeable fact that eve
~ Southern state except Florida gives
IA smaller Democratic majority than for
Tilden four years ago.

II Mr.. Grace, Boss Kelley's candi-
date for mayor of New York city, is
elected by less than 1000 majority.
Grace is Catholic, and considerable
body of Democrats opposed him. At
last reports the Garfield electors of the
state had about % 900 majority.

JUST RETURNED
MAZRlKlEl1
With the largest assortment of Harnesses evel
brought to Northern Vermont. In Single
Harnesses have
SEVENTY-FIVE SETS,

consisting of Nickle Trimmed, Centennial Trim
med, Gilt Wire and Rubber Trimmed of every
style and quality. In Rubber have the following
grades: s15 s1s, $50, s22 s25, $50, s32, s35. In
Nickle, So sl2, SIS, sls $40 s22 s25. This is by
far the best lot of Harnesses have before of
fered for the money. Come and see, and judge for
yourselves. Every Harness will be represented
just what it is and every Harness warranted will
be backed to the letter. Also a number of pairs
of Driving Harnesses, Nickle and Rubber Trim
med, which will be sold lower than can be found in
the state. These Harnesses have purchased of a
concern that employs twenty-five hands, and trim
mings bought of manufacturers at bottom figures,
and every harness in my stock is cashed by me in
side of ten days from day of purchase. So will
here say that every harness sold out of this lot
prices named is five dollars lower for the same
quality of harness than can be built by any home
mandatory in this state.

Wouldn't it be FunnyP

In reading the extracts from South
ern papers since the election, we find
that many in that section look upon
the situation quite philosophically, and
seem fully as decent about it as their
Northern brethren. 1t would be funny
Indeed, if the next turn made in the
Democratic party was by the South
supporting Garfeld's administration
We get this idea from what the Necs
and Courier of Charleston, S. c., says
regarding the results of the election. 1t
inquiries, "Will the South remain on the
losing side 2" The inference is plain
that the Southern people feel they have
been on the closing side" through the
bad management of their Northern
brethren.
This Southern paper, which is con-
sidered about as fair as any in that sec
ton, further declares: "The Southern
people, we fancy, will make themselves
heard on this subject before the winter
is past" Or in other words, should
President Garfield offer to them the
friendly hand, and take an interest in
them through a kind and liberal ad-
ministrative policy. they will support
him, and let their Northern brethren
Ego to grass" Should this be done, as
it may be one of the bare possibilities,
the Boston Journal thinks it would Gin
deed be blessing to Democrat as well
as to Republican, to the Southern man
az we'll as to the Northern" 1t cannot
be denied but this action would be the
best thing !. that ever happened to the
South. 1t is in their hands to-day to
bring about such a pleasant state of
things in this country as never before
existed. In a little while, should they
freely give up bulldozing and permit
all classes the full enjoyment of liberty,
they could place themselves upon the
high road to political and financial
prosperity. Political, because none then
would feel afraid of savage or an I'M
just policy; financial, because the way
would be opened for skilled labor and
waiting capital. 1t would certainly be
funny thing, should leading Southern
ers finally snap their fingers in the faces
of their Northern friends, by being the
first genuine supporters of the Govern
ment.

V The next House of Representa-
tives will have Republican majority,
and the Senate will probably be Repub-
lican also with the vote the Vice Presi-
dent, its presiding officer. 1t is tolera-
bly, safe to predict that Union soldiers
about the national capital will not have
to take so many orders from generals
in the late Confederate service for the
next four years as they have during the
last four years.

our RniIrnnh to the Fast.

For the first time the Southern Pa eiflc and the AtchiHson, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads seem 10 have come 10 an understanding; a union of the tEao roads will be made at point near the east rn line of Arizona, about the close of the present year. This un derstandlug was doubtless brought about by Charles Crocker, jr, on his recent visit East 1t is a union that neither road could decline, as both stretch over vast areas of unproductive country, which affords but little local support; but tho very moment they are united new through route from ocean Co ocean is opened up, route below the snow line, which will at once be- come the favorite line oftravel during the entire writer season. They will then both become paylug roads, whereas now neither much more than pay the operating expenses, to say nothing of the interest on their bonded debt. While the union of these two great trans-continen;al highways may not be a permanent one, sE it is the purpose of each 10 build an inde- pendent line through-ihe one to the Pacific and the other to the Gulf of Mexico-it will be Hnion that will rebound to the best interest of both, and of incalcuable benefit to our Terri tory. Arizona depends almost entirely upon Eastern cs3in2l fQr-;iire develop ment ot eIisr1 mines, hence it is very natiRai That we should hail the day when VIC shall become easier of access to the money centres of the East. In decd when We look back ever the past two years, and think how difficult Of access our Terrieory has been, il is 8 wonder we have been able 10 attract any attention in the East. Notwith. standing all the disadvantages we have had to contend with our mining camps are being developed, and our Territory has doubled her population during the past two years. But our real prosperity will date from the day the Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka t Santa Fe form a connection near the Rio Graude.
Weekly Arizona citizen., 1880-07-17
The Country Gninrrn RnIn-

The New York Sun is very much alarmed over the fact that some Eastern capitalists have invested in mines, and warns all classes against thus throwing their money away.
 What would the Sun have done? Would it advocate the idea of letting our mines lay idle, or does it expect the poor prospector to extract the precious !Ie.ials? When the Sun talks about mir and mining it exposes its ignorance, and shows that it knows about as much about mines Us the average couEtryman knows about the trade and finance of New York. When men from the East vii! go into mining without knowing anything about the business, they need not expect 10 sue ceed no more than green country man could be expected to succeed in in carrying on wholesale business in New York. But if they will go to work in a business way, and secure the services of competent men to start out with, and work the mines for what there is in them, and with a view Of making them pay on the investment, they will be as likely to succeed as in any other branch of business. But the Sun should not expect every one whC engage in mines to become q Flood or a Mackay. Whenever inc Sun or any other Eastern journal speaks of the resources of our country they gre sure 10 lug in the vast mineral wealth of our Western States and Territories, yet when money is needed for their development they warn people to let mines alone. Fortunately for the country there arc hundreds of men in the East who know more about mines and mining than does the Sun, and who knowingly will continue to invest their money in mines regardless of the sage warnings of the Sun and other Eastern journals which know nothing about ihe business.
