ANTICS OF ARIZON x
Tto Reception Received by sC
 sFs il the San Frzncisco Mountains.
LAlDrluernla Lurrna..l

Aurthern Arizona IS, as yet. Sparsely inhabited country, and travellers find it an arGuOus and irks0mc task to make a journey through its mountains and val leys. Lucky is be who strikes place at night where he car o5tain shelter and rest. The mOGutalucer's cabin or @ rancmnan's abode is a welcome sight at the close of day after tedious tramp. Such 8 place never faiis to give a hos pltabie welcome, and if you have come direct from some civilized town, the news winch you bring of the happenings in the outside world will more than com pensata your host for yOEr accommodate ton.
 About three weeks ago two gentlemen were travelling in the San Francisco mountuns, CD route to AIbuqueruue. Late nt the afternoon they arrived at Parkers mill. where they proposed to put ID for the night One of the pil- Erims vas an old friend of Mrs Parker. the wife ot tue mill owner. and she was OverIOyed at meeting him. On catching sight ot the familiar face. she went into ecscacieS and declared that he was the only civilized man she hal seen since coming tO the country. Tine "Demo- crats, who were working il the mill, did uo5 think this assertion vas doing them justice, so they quit work and com meuced a general celebration of the i'm pOrtant arrival The mill whistle kept mp a continuous blowing during the night, and the whisky which vas drank by the calehrators did hot tend to dimin- ish the volume oi the horrible noise. The nex5 day after the men were con vinced that no imputation vas intended against them iu She assertion made by the lady, they were induced e return to their work.

TIE THROUGH LINE.

It seems tosbe a settled fact that the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific will
 connect beyond Fl Paso and form a
 through line. The San Francisco
 Exchange says:
 From d prominent official cf tie Cen
 tral Pacific R. R. We learn that the con
 nection with the Southern Pacific and | Texas Pacific roads will be made in about ten days, at point about one hundred miles east of Fl PasO When arrangements are completed the express | trains from San Francisco will run clear through to the point of Junction, instead | of to Deming as now. In some quarters | 1t is thought the completion of this new | route will hurt the Atchison, Topeka and | Santa Fe, but there IS no reason to be- ! lieve that 1t will. That road has always l had a heavy local traffic, and while some | of the through travel may be diverted by | the other route, there will soon be plenty | of work fOrits trains, from Demilg north. l The new road will undoubtedly encOur- | age a great deal of new tra,el to and fro ! from Texas. and that will do much to | fill up the trains of the Southern Pacific. ] One advantage the Texans will have that
 may encourage them to travel, or at least
 to start on their travels, is that by a State law local fares are limited to five cents q
 mile. All down through Arizona and New Mexico tEe companies charge ten cents a mile, but as soon as the Rio Grand is crossed at Fl Paso, down comes the fare to five cents. As soon as the
 new road Is open Ve look for quite an influx of people all along the Southern border and even into California. As
 a through route to the Eas-, the line via Fl Paso and the Texas Pacific will pos
 sess many attractions, especially in the
 season of storms and snow blockades on
 the old route.

Ruin Justice,

4 thief in a border railroad camp is an individual who is not tolerated. 4 few days ago three Germans went into St. Joseph, on the Atlantic and Pacific road, for the purpose of working for the com pany. When the men arrived one of tue nHmber was the possessor of one hundred dollars. ShC rtly afterwards Inc discover ed that his money was gone. He reported to the camp and search was immediately made by the labOrers to ferret out the thief. A companion of the man who lost the money was suspected. He was taken m hand by ihe self-constituted authori- ties, rope placed around his neck, and a demand made of him to give up the money or swing. The suspicious of the men fell upon the right man, for when lL, found that it was 2 case of life or death, he made . clean breast of the matter and returned seventy dollars of the amount. He informed tine mob that the third man Cf his party had the other thirty dollars. After making a clean breast of the whole matter and begging for his life, he was turned loose with instructions to leave town and never return. He left-TAlbu- cIerque Journal.

MORE VAIL FACILITIES WANTED.


 The number of complaints from the sparseiy settled west against the Ieduc- ton of mail facilities by Postmaster General James is increasing. It is cer- tainly an inexcasable course to pursue. The growing and rapidly developing west should not be crippled by any narrow, contracted policy. The west IS not'ready to feuce in. 1t needs more, rather than less, facilities and if We do not at present pay tine bills we will in the near fu:ura The Albuquerque Journal has the following to the poiat:
 The attention of postal authorities Is directed to the fact that l.mail facilities have been taken away from northern Arizona and portion of New Mexlco. A section of country larger than the New England States Is thus deprived or mail communication with the outside world. This vast region IS beng pene- trated by a trauScontinental ran, swarm of hardy pioneers, the advance guard of civilization. The government of the United States ls rich enough 10 afford them mail system. They are separated from homes and families, and to be deprived of the means of commit nication is a great hardship and should be remedied.
 The press of the west should unite in protesting against this cutting off ot the mail privileges of the inhabitants of our frontier. The pioneers, who are the ad- vance guard of civilization and forerun- ners of the millions who will soon popu- late the west, are entitled to more consid- eration. They are brave, hardy and enter prising and are doing q work for the fu- ture and the country owes 1t to them to see that their situation is not made needlessly isolated by cutting them of from communication with their friends in other parts of the country. Let Post master General James punish all the Star Route thieves he can find, but he should spare the poor, lonely inhabi- tants of the border.

TIE citizens Of Tombstone are pleas antly situated, with county and city of- fcers at swords points. The recent shooting affair seems to have grown ont of this unfortunate rivalry, and the ez- pensive trial now Tn progress is another of it's fruits. \ Tombstone paper of a recent date publishes the arrest Of Sher- if Behan for rapid driving, contrary to the city ordinance in such case made and provided. All these things show the in tensely amicable @ feeling existing be- tween the rival officials. To this rivalry the peace, order and good name Of our sister city, and the most important mln- ing camp ID the Territory Is being sac rificed. It is matter in which We are all interested. When an Eastern man hears a stray bullet whizzing by bis ear and takes the first stage out of mining camp like Tombstone, an event which Is reported to have occurred during the late unpleasautness, it does more dam age to the Territory than the breaking out of all the Apachcs on the San Carlos reservation could do. The country does not expect the Apachcs to do anything but savages or do anything bat follow their brutal instincts, but when the whites turn savagcs and officers Of the law engage in indiscrim- mate shooting and other violations of law, the condition Of affairs is far from inviting. Tombstone and Cachise coun- ty owe it to their own interests and those of the Territory to relegate t2 private life several Of their officials, both county and municipal, who have been uup.eas- antly conspicuous in the dlsgraceiul proceedings Of the past few weeks. \ city Of the size and importance Of Tombstone should not be compelled to resort to vigilance committees to protect the property and lives of her citizens.

 When Artemus Ward Charles Brown first lectured in London his jokes fell fiat, and seeing how it was, he concluded his discourse to the effect that the audi ence on going out would be handed tickets to Constantinople and return. In that city, went on Artemus, propose to repeat my lecture this day two weeks. To each ticket k attached a coupon that will admit the bearer to the hall. l desire your attendance, that may shed light upon such of my re- marks as have evidently given yuu pain, which l thank you for having borne in silence" What does the man mean?" asked John Bull, " Gro tO Constantino- pie to hear him drawl through this mass of stuff again?

THE treatment President Arthur is re- ceiving at the hands of the two leading Republican papers of New York city shows a marked difference. The Tribune seems disposed to give creJence to al the absurd rumors in relation to the pur- poses and intentions of lhe AdmiHistIa- tion, while the Times gives him credit for common sense. In relation to the rumu-- ed appointment Of Geo. C. Gorlam for Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the Times says: The announcement ], uacC in a Washington dispatch of the Prlsi- dents intention to appoint Hon. George c. Gorhdm Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Gorham's desire for the posi- ton is probably all that there is in tlis piece of news, but 1t is m instructive illustration ol the kind of rGnors which are kept ahoat by professed friends of the President in regard to hisinteutious. Since his accession to office he has been accredited with all sorts of foolish plans, including a direct interference on behalf of the Star Route conspirators and the transfer of the New York Custom Oliee to the control of the machine politicians. g. far the President has selulolsly
 voided doing the foolish things which were in some quarters expected of hlm, and we incline to the belief thaj the rumored Gorham appointment Will go the way of other fctions which have preceded it. President Arthur deserves all possible credit for the dignity, reso- lution and self-resDecf which ha has aZ- emDlifed undercircumstances calculated to test very severely the most evenly balanced nature and the best disciplined man.

TIE Alta California makes the the
 latest contribution to newspaper liter
 ature in relation to the governorship of
 this Territory. It says:
 General Fremont resigned the govern orship of Arizona on October II, re- ] questing that 1t take effect on November | ], or earlier, and saying that private In- terests dictated the step. The Wash ington Republican, however, says that the resignation was made at the request of the President. who was displeased at
 the almost continued absence of Ere ! mont from his post. The Republican adds that e" notwithstanding the unat- tractlve climate and unprOmising politi- cal character of the Territory, there are seven patriots who have made known their willingness to sacrifice the luNur- les of the more civilized regions of our common country, and take charge of the Gubernatorial chair of Arizona" These gentlemen, we presume, must be eeastern politicians. Besides, there are four or five gentlemen now in Arizona who are willing to assume the title of Governor. Some of them are of rather small cali bre, but then 1t does not need any extra ordinary statesmanshlp to fill the posi- ton. The sending out of any more pen sloners from the east would be very unde- sirable. It should hereafter be the rule to select Territorial Governors and Sec retaries from among the people hving Tn and developing the Territories.

 THE counsel for the assassin of GUi teau relies for tine defense wholly UroI the plea of insanity. In this connection the views of the victim Of Guiteau' crime as expressed by President Gar field, then Congressman, in 1871, in let ter addressed to an Ohio Judge who sa down upon the plea of insanity in a murder case, may not be uniuterestinE Garfield then wrote:
 The whole country owes you a debt Co. gratits-< 15f" ',Ss-;IlshiEg away the wicscd aSsurdity which has lately been palmed of on the country as law on the subject of insanity. Ifthis thing had gone ou much further, all that a man would need to secure himself from the charge oi murder, would be to rave a little and tear his hair, and then kill his man. ! hope you will print your excellent charge in pamphlet form, and send it to all tlg Judges in the land.
 Our dispatches to-day show that Gun teau Is playing the mad man in Court, but that should not be allowed to shield him from punishment for his awful crime.

Lumber for Arizona.

The Truckee Republican says that there Is just now a large demand for Truckee lumber for Arizona. From ten to fifteen ear loads of railroad ties are forwarded daily to the eastern terminus of the Southern Pacific railroad to be used in the construction of that road. From Sacramento On- Thursday last nineteen carloads of lumber were way billed to Benson, Arizona. ILe siIp- ments of lumber fr n Truckee and Sac ramento to Southern Arizona and New Mexico not only continue, but are con stantly and largely increasing. The tide of improvement seems to have set very strongly in that direction.

ONE of the most hopeful signs for ths 'ppointment of Hon. J. J. Gosper a,
 overnor of this Territory is thc opposi- i. ion of the Prescott Miner. The inHu. ence of that paper to help a man is in inverse ratio to its efforts to defeat him. Its opposition is to be courted. and AIr. Gosper is extremely fortunate in securing its efforts against him. To have its active and positive support would be sure death, aud would be prima facie evidence that he was guilty of some moral treason. If the appoint ment is made from the Territory Mr. Gosper will undoubtedly be She man; fl chosen from abroad We hope man viii be competent and worthy.
