WONDERS NEVER CEASE.

Yesterday, in the House, we beheld an-
 other of those wonders which every now and ! then reveal themselves. We find men who
 had given their solemn pledges to stand firm
 fir the interest of Yavapai county in pay
 ment for positions given them, breaking their ! pledges and voting square with the enemy
 We beheld men who by location, trade and [ the drainage from our mountains, which ! gives them the sus.enance of life, voting awayourrights. We find our Southern members
 misrepresenting and practicing all the tricks
 known to legerdemain, for the purpose of
 depriving iavapai of that which was hers first upon the organization of the Territory;
 and which was by bribery taken from her;
 and that winch she has thrice purchased; we
 mean, in plain language the Capital. Judge Haynes, the counsel, had so marshaled and drilled his clients that upon the final vote
 being taken upon the removal of the Capi- tal to the borders of Sonora, foreign coun-
 try, continually in state of revolution, that the ayes had majority of one. We admire, of course, the Judge for his perse- yerance and industry in this matter but We most sincerely condemn his co-conspirators who get their every dollar from Yavapai and have nothing to expect from PIma-and right here We will tell these gents, whosdorn their craniums with No f sombrero. and their pedals with l4 boot, and have love ly handkering after road or other monies, that their last appearance upon the legisla- tive rostrnm IS remarkably short.
 The true legislator who works for the in terests of his constituents we admire and respect but the hckspittle who votes only when he receives the insignia from apeculiar move of the optic organ of one man, We say he neither deserves the respect nor recogni- ton of decent people and should be placed up1n the street corners there to serve the purpse for which lamp p1sts are respected by the canine race.
 Thank G d, there is stilla higher platform t which the bill must be submitted; there we expect the integrity and wisdom of hon est men will send 1t back with vehementf rec int the teeth of those who fathercd 1t in | the House.
 They will see that by removing the l Capital from Prescott they would be do- in. great injustice. Here. in the shades l of the Sierra Prieta, surrounded upon every cardinal point with the wealth of a nation, comprising every mineral known | to the geologist, is the suitable place for | the Territorial seat of Government.
 If 1t be true what Genie from Tucson ! claims for Pima county, then We most 1 believe it to be his duty to i'm prepare a Memorial, praying Congress to divide Arizona into two terri tories and at once locate the Capital of he new territory at the ancient and re- spectable pueblo from which thegent halls, knowing full well that the Lord would pay him for his services
 To those who tried to take that from us, which We have purchased and paid for over and over again, we say beware. To those nine men, who voted and spoke put manfully for us, we say all honor.
 Mr. Robb, of Pinal, Mir. Woods, of cochise, and Mir. Brown, of Yavapai, with right nailed to their banner, in speech aud deed. have done their duty, md the people of Yavapai are not of hose who ferget their friends in day, month, year, or even decade, and in this allow us again to warn & cer- ain young and most certainly rising poli-
 clan to look well to his laurels twenty
 onths hence.
 With the advent of the river of steam O Yavapai. she will become a power ill he land. People will seek homes within Ter silver, gold, copper and coal districts, lnd where to-day We behold one brave pioneer. a hundred venturesome recruits yill have joined their forces to his, and he nalance of power will be here in the North
