PRESCOTT PENCILLING'S.
Riot Act tells about the Capital. TAe new County bills. General Gossip from,
 The Legislature.

PreScotps howl of anguish is now one of d derision. They are like a lot of school boys playing football. When the capital bag, filled with legislative gas, (beg pardon gentlemen-I mean elo- quence0 seems about to be booted over the line of Maricopa and sometimes by a malicious and de. structive kick even into the bog hole of Tucson, Prescottites howl. Their feelings and faces change however with the instant aneous. ness of a kaleidoscope, when some member from Tombstone kicks the leaky bag back into the 
 graveyard of Prescott, and they grin with delight, deriding even ye good people of the ancient and honorable pueblo.
 The child is born. It was creat- ed by sort of murderous Indian warfare Dreylng on old Pima and was properly and sarcastieally called Cachise.
 The question of the seggregaI tion of counties is one which has brought toward all the logic and eloeuence of our solons. The par lamentary tactics evolved have taxed severely the patience of Speaker Knapp of the House. The admiring plandits of those in the lobby, when some ambitious and gaseous member from Pok- CT flat (Joe Cranes saloon) gives vent to some astounding propos- ition in political economy, makes the Speakers mallet fall with terrific racket, showing that he proposes to have orderly meet. ings. 4 few sore heads attempted to make street gossip of alledged unfairness of rulings, but this petty malice was soon stopped n it's authors rebuked, by some of the ablest mem bers in the House.

Road Commissioners.

We have just received the road
 bill introduced by Mir. Darlington for Yuma county, and object to many of its features. The Com, missioners nam ed therein are A. Frank, Isaac Polhamus Jr. and c. W. Norton. Ehrenberg being one terminus of the road should have a representative on the Board and A. Frank is the only business man there. The other two gen. tlemen mentioned are objectiona- ble for various reasons. Mir. Pol. hamIs is a railroad superintend. ent, and the demands upon his time would not enable him to do his duty in any other capacity. Furthermore he made a bitter fight against the democracy of the Territory and deserves neth. ing at its hands. Mr. Frank is republican and one republican should be al. allowed on the

to themselves, without taking 8 prorata of tL cir counties indebt- edness. It is true that precedents have been formed in this Terri. tory in favor of non.indebtsdness, yet the mere fact of the existence of a precedent is poor argument for a bad measure and especially 8 measure acting by legislative enactment against t interests of county creditors. But 1 am not going to argue this question. Yuma don't give continental expletive what they do with the balance of the Territory, provid- ing they leave her and the Terri. torial Prison in the tranquil en. joyment of a graveyard rest.

 l don't mean to insult the gem tlemen who kindly occupies his leisure moments in editing, for the present, the SENTINEL, and in seeing blood on the moon by infiicting the above on him; but a precedent Lhad been formed in the case of the soldier who vi. sitsd those places his final destin4 ation being Yuma.
 The bill creating county of Glla came up in the House to day, and finally passed by a vote of 10 to 11-This allows the withdrawal of the only min eral section of Marieopa, without. taking any portion of the county debt, and leaving as a compensation there fer few rfckety county build ings, worth possibly $3000. 1t will depreciate the value of Mari copa county warrants, and is cer- tainly an impolitic and unwise measure. Masterson's Eill to fund the indebtedness of Yavapai county is exciting much opposi- tion, from the ''penny wise pound foolish" bar,room financiers of Prescott, who are always ready to croak against innovations of any character, but it has 8 man for it's champion, who, irrespective of party antagsnisms, has shown himself to be an intellectual ath- lete.
 One of the ablest men in the House probably is Judge Haynes of Tucson, the Republican leader. He is lawyer of marked ability, and with the assistance of Speak. CT Knapp is the regulator of the House. By the way, the bullion tax law, will probably be repealed and great rejoicing thereat will be had by the rich mining companies of Arizona, who will thereby escape paying some few thousands in taxes.
