A private telegram from Pres colt to Tom Brown, states that in view of no appropriation having been made to pay the legislative expenses for the next twenty Jays, the hash-house keepers of that city had gone into 6 commi- ttee oi the whole to decide if the session should continue.

A prospector, formerly of Monmouth, named Robinson found it, and when last seen he was leaving Mojave with supplies in company with a min- ing man supposed to be Edward Clark. This was on January 26th, since which time nothing more has been heard. If any truth is attached to the report, then the long-lost Gunsight lode may be claImed as rediscOvered.

In Saline Valley, California, is a new discovery which has attract cd the attention of a number of heavy mining men. The old town of Darwin is again revived, and the deserted Defiance furnace is fired up whenever sufficient ore is taken from the Promontory mine, and is made to yield a handsome profit.

How to Fix the Cow Boys.

It is currently reported that
 Gen. Lew Wallace, Governor of
 New Mexico is officiously at
 work to secure the repeal of the
 posse comitatus clause of the ar.
 my bill, "so as 10 allow the troops
 to act against the COW boys at San
 SiHOn." To people who live in
 Arizona and New Mexico this sounds like ''sarkasm," as Arte-
 mus Ward used to say. There is
 no clause of the army bill to pre-
 vent the troops from moving on
 the hostile savages. They have had carte blanche for the past two years, indeed ever since Ari- zona came under the protection of the government, but when an Indian hears of the movement of United State forces nowadays, he rolls his tongue in his mouth, smooths down his mane. wraps himself in his blanket, and guesses he will take nap. New Mexico has been terrible sufI ferer from the redskins for many months. the commander of the forces they say "there's nothing in it," that white men are doing the damage. Now, if Congress were to repeal the posse comita. tus clause, which would be mild insanity, to sey the least, the commanding general in New or perhaps in Arizona, might suddenly discover that the cow boys were MeXicans in dis. gulse, and that international com ty would not allow these doughty warriors to move against hem. If the Mexicans, through heir accredited agents, will lay heir grievances before the gov and the latter will direct 'ur Marshals to place check on hese COW boys, We are very much Inclined to think San Simon will now these cattle thieves no more Orever.-[Tucson Journal.

vALEDICTORY.

With the last issue of this paper my connection herewith ceased. A telegram from the proprietor, MT. J. F. Knapp, received on Tuesday morning. directed me to turn over the editorial columns 10 hr. s. G. Lason. The paper viii not suf- fer by the change, and am relieved in spirit. This week wonld have been the lat in any event, as the Eleventh Legis- lative Assembly will have adjourned at its end. MT. Knapp and myself have been at variance for some time in the matter sf ideas, and, it Is needless to say, have propitiate Governor Fremont, while cared solely to ventilate all the bad in that gentleman, as public officer. Certainly I should have commended good action of the executive if there had been one worth noticing. Since took charge of one side of the SENTINEL, every editorial but two have been written by me, and am equally responsible for those two. The one article on the outside of this issue is mine-it was written before had notice iu quit. Being democratic editor naturally made a change in the politics of the paper and, believe, improved it in that respect. The Weekly Democrat of Fes. 25th, asserts that had full swing to write," Tn Mir. Knapp's absence, anything chose, pro- vided l carried out that gentleman's policy" am free to confess that I never knew the proprietor of this paper had any policy. I think not. He objected to my criticisms of the acts of the Gov ernor and to my democratic tendencies. Both came naturally to me and naturally I clung to them. Hence this dissolution of newspaper csmpanionship.
 l have been treated not harshly by the old stagers of the press and am sufficient ly grateful. To tkem I will state as & finishing polish to the machinery of this valsdictory, that, in less than three months I.shall own and edit newspaper It will be independently democratic and I shall run it from one end to the other.

We have none but kind word

We have none but kind words for the Eleventh Legislature ot
 Arizona, and we firmly believe that compared with any of its pre-. 'decessors it will compare favora-
 bly, in all respects. Of our own members we do say that in point of ability and dignity they have no superiors in either house. We predict that after the heat of the session is over and judgment is pronounced by the people it will be that nearly all sections have fared equally and justice been done by all. Yuma is we'll satis- fed, and, with the exception of few "chronic croakers" which are found everywhere, has no reason to complain. Our mem bers have done everything for us that the people wanted them to do. The only one sectional measure was the road bill that was important as it effects our county only. All others such as the appropriations for the prison are of a purely Territorial characl ter. After these being done our people were we'll satisfiedto be let alone. Our finance will not bear to be tinkered with as they are in as healthy a condition as many less favored counties in the States and Territories.
