The Democrat, in alluding to the SENTINEL, seems to have some object in uniformly Inen. tioning it as MT. KnapD's paper. It is true that this paper belongs to that gentleman, but the Editor thereof is the property of one Samuel Purdy Jr., and of none other. The Editor of the Demo- crat is of our political faith and halls from our native state, and, therefore, we are 10th to knock the chip of his shoulder or to ask him to step on the tail of our coat. We have defended MT. Knapp when he was right because we are a gentleman and the SENTI- MEL is his. Further Q spirit of petty malice has induced OFT Councilman to seud every attack made dpon the Speaker by the Democrat to his consGtuau here labeled " Knapp" SC they could not possibly mi5underataad who was intended. We object to such womanish prickings Of pins, and took the part of one we conceived in a measure persecuted. Mr. Knapp is nothing to us, and if the members of the House should kick him into Joe Cranes back room and tar and feather him, it would have no perceptible infu- ence upon our life, except. per haps, in a humorous way. We believe he should not be the pre- siding officer Of the House, being a republican, and we know the democrats of that body traded their party in electing him to the position. But lSIIr. Knapp is en- titled to no blame for overreach- ing the majority, and will get none from Us on that score. Let the Democrat confine itself to a condemnation of the sO.called democrats who sacrificed the principles of democracy for local aggrandizsment, and let that paper continue doing so to do whenever they seek political pre- ference.

The Miner of the fourteenth instant contains an article con- demnatory of the governor, intir mating that he is guiding his official acts in the direction of a removal of the capital to Tucson. The devil he IS! After nosing the governor's-boot for years, the smell of the leather is, at last, getting offensive.

The gavel smasher of the House and the tow-haired baby of '47-the infant who preferred a Tombstone to political existence-are apparently not on very good terms with each other It is evi- dentIy a case too complicated for arbitra- ton. The difference between the two cannot be of a political character. Politi- cally they are of an even complexion, the former being a republican and the latter not democrat The only cause for their general irritibality we conceive te be pregnancy. The Speaker is great with a sense of his own importance and the oth- CT big with an Indian baby called Cachise. In the last scene the former ordered the door locked and the chief factor in the creation of Cachise jumped out of the window. Itis like Harlequin play. Ne expect shortly to see a whole grove of trees jamm ed up the Speakers throat.

It is proposed to have Circuit Courts. What for? We presumed. when we first heard of the bill. that it was intended to replace the appointees of She president oy the chosen of the people, but we were rather mistaken. The idea is to give the appointing power to the governor Tn lien of to the president. It is good idea and VIC congratulate MT. Haynes on his com plete mastery of the situation. We res pectfully recommend, for the governors consideration, the following gentlemen as being desirable subjects for nomination for the office of Superior Court Judge For the first district, Clark Churchill; for the second district Wm. A. Tweed; and
 or the third district any hanger. on of Lord and Williams will answer.

In another issue We expressed an opin- ion that MastersoR would be an available candidate for Congress. but that opinion was qualified by the suggestion that he make no record as a legislator. He has paid no heed to our advice, and the record he has so far made will render him for ever unavailable as a democratic candida ts. Ne has helped to award a member of the Republican Territorial Central Com nittee and the manager of the republican campaign in this county, railroad off cisl, to places on the Board of Road Com missioners for Yuma county, and he has voted to increase the salary of the repu- blican Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion.

The Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton, M. H. Sherman is out in card on the subject of increase of salary. In that card he makes the remarkable assertion that it was expressly understood he WAS to continue his profession as teacher in connection with his duties as Superin- tendent of Instruction. Expressly under stood by whom? He was selected by the last legislature, as a.body, and certainly we, who were a member thereof. cannot remember any communication from Mir. Sherman consenting to accept this ofiice on any condition whatever. In fact this young gentleman did deal of buzzinq

 A WRONG AND MISTAKEN POLICY.
 The Legislature has before it mischiev- Ous and bad bill-&n act in restraint anG Encouragement of marriage. The bill appears ts have for its maiR purpose, the awarding of certain petty fees to County Recorders, and the giving to them certain inquiSttorial functions. What other useful purpose it can serve we are unable to dis cover. Any law which puts any-even the lightest-restrictio delay or imped- iment upoa marriage. is against good morals. Marriage is, or ougLt to be, an institution for the protection of weaker party-the woman and her child, No ceremony, political or religious, no off, cial inquiry, no license, no record ought to he made imperative. The contract should be left to the contractors, being the couple living together and these. pass ing and holding themselves forth as hu5b- and and wife, and recognized as such, should be considered in the eye of the law as married. provided neither had any other matrimonial tie. That is the only safe rule, the only one which can make cer- tain to the woman the rights of a widow and 10 the child those of an heir To pass such bill as is before our legislature is to put in peril the fame and the property of the women and children, to punish the innocent for the guilty; to make seductions and mOck-marriages possible to introduce State interference in private contracts, and to put fees and dangerous powers in to the hands of County Recorders. We hope. somebody will have manhood to ventilate and oppose this bill.-Democrat
 We have read and re-read the above and have come to the com at last. that the article is too progressive for US. "NO cereI mony, no official inquiry, no lii cense, no records" And the Judge thinks the wife and child will be protected under such a state of affairs. God save him! He must be @ Mormon, Turk, a Brooklyn minister ora Pissa- mist. He must have sailed the salt seas and had wife at every port. He ID st be as agile and vigorous as a mountaih goat.

We observe that Masterson has made e thrilling speech directed against grant ing the governor power to convene an extra session of the legislature. To a man up tree all that sort of thing IS a most delightful spectacle, but to one standing on solid foundation it is simply wind and sound. The governor wouldn't call an extra session if he could, and TO one knows this better than Mr. Mastersen, He is merely blowing up a bladder his vote on Haynes superior court bill will puncture.

The National Suspense.

Since our last issue, while the
Washington kilograms have
brought uniformly encouraging
news as to the condition of the
President, yet there has been uni
versal anxiety and suspense all
over the country, with an indefna-
BILE dread that the worst was to be
feared, and the people were ready
to start at the tap of hell or the
rapid pace of n messenger, lest news
of the Presidents death had ar
rived.
All accounts now seem to concur
in the bright prospects for Presi-
dent Garfield's recovery. The most
eminent surgeons in the land have
the case in charge, and every pos
sible expedient that science and
skill could devise have been used
to contribute to- the distinguished
sufferers comfort and chances for
life. That the wound is very Sc
rious and dangerous one is univer-
sally known and it is generally
conceded that a man Of less courage
and constitutional vigor, than Mr..
Garfield, would have little or no
chance of surviving such a shot
1t was feared the intense heat Of the.
past week would bring serious re-
suits, but with newly invented re-.
frig Grating apparatus, the attend
ants have kept the Presidents
room supplied with pure, fresh air,
with temperature in the sixties.
AS to the assassin, Guiteau, the pa
pers have teemed with accounts OF
his past tricks, shystering, and bad
life generally, and as to there being
any conspiracy, our first impress
sion seems to be fully confirmed.
We wrote in the FREEMAN EXTRA,
on the day the President was shot,
"Let us presume nothing for evil,
but believe that the great national
crime that has Swallowed conti-
nent with pail Of sorrow and
gloom, is the fruit Of one mad
brain, or Of one deprayed heart
only" The more we read. of the
case, the more we are forced to at
tribute the desperate crime to de-
pravity Of heart rather than mad
ness OF ,brain - -.
The people are still anxious, and
prayers, go up continuously that
the bright hopes Of to-day may not
be lostin unfayorable developments
to come We, are glad all can re-
joice in well founded hopes. ~
