 We are al loss to understand how " Governor Fremont is in the east working hard for the interests nf Ar izona." We had supposed his duties required his services in the Territory. As 10 his work that generally results successfully we know of no place in his history where the expression would apply, except in his general failures in whatever he undertakes 10 do. We have due appreciation of Governor Fremont, and we are willing that he should be pensioned on Arizona; but at The same time our Territory is not so utterly insignificant that he should be allowed to dandle il about as a cat would a mouse before swallowing.
