ed the Democratic electoral ticket in
this State, and has several times re-

members of the Legislature for the
United States Senate, being the party
candidate in the memorable contest of
1875. If Michigan had been a Demo
cratic State for the last twenty years,
or if Mr.. Lothrop had been a Repub-
lican in politics, there is no doubt
that he would have been a conspicu-
Gus figure in public affairs. 1t would
be impossible for man Of Mr. 10th
rops fine scholarship not to take
great interest in the University. An
address made by him some two or
three years since before the gradual

beautiful and suggestive thoughts.
Henry Fralick, of Kent county, is
worthy associate Of Mr. Lothrop on
tho ticket for the Regency. A man
of wide experience, great business
sagacity, quick discernment and sound
learning, he would, as Regent, be of
invaluable service TO the State and to
the University. In his lifetime, Mr.
Fralick has been farmer, a boatman
and captain on the Erie canal, a whal-
err, an officer in the merchant marine,
hotel clerk, clerk in a store, and for
over forty years merchant, manu-
facturer and general business man.
For the past twenty years he has lived
in Grand Rapids, and is one of the

The National Banks, after having
withdrawn their circulation, thus caus-
ing a contraction of the currency and
endangering the business of the coun-
try, for the purpose of forcing Hayes
to veto the funding bill, are now trying
to get the Republican administration
to restore their circulation. They have
the power of contracting the currency
whenever it suits their convenience,
and now they want the power of en-
larging the amount of currency when
il is for their benefit to have it inflated.
Such immense power to injure the bus
mess of the country should be taken
from the banks, as the people Of this
country can not afford to be placed at
the mercy of a ring Of bankers, who,
under the law, can make money scarce
or plenty, according as it is for their
benefit.

This spring the people are again
called upon to vote for an amendment
to the constitution of the State, which
if carried, will permit the Supreme
Court to appoint their own clerk. This
position is one of Importance and re-
sponsibility, and to insure safety to
litigants in that court, should be a man
of some character and experience, and
this position should not depend upon
the result of political contests and be
subject to frequent changes. Under
our present constitution, the county
clerk of Ingham county is ex-ofiicio
clerk of the Supreme Court His ten
ure Of Office depends upon the result Of
the elections every two years, and,
therefore, the Supreme Court may be
compelled to accept new clerk every
two years. Thus, one who obtains this
position no sooner becomes proficient
in the exercises of his duties, than he
must step down and out. Further, al
lowing the position to depend upon po.
liticial results, may permit a man
thoroughly incompetent to occupy the
place, with much derogation to the
court and injury to litigants. The
amendment is a good one and should
be adopted. 1t is to the interest Of all
voters, and each one should make it a
personal matter to see that it is carried.

The Committee on Public Health
have reported favorably on the bill OF
Representative Warrington, which re-
quires individuals to obtain a yearly
license to purchase spirituous or malt
beverages. BY the terms Of the bill
the Prosecuting Attorney, County
Clerk and Judge of Probate Of each
county are made Board of Excise.
1t is made unlawful to sell liquors to
any person not holding a license from
the Board of Excise. The price fixed
for the license is 50, but Mr.. Yarring-
ton thinks it will probably be reduced
to about 81. The board is forbidden
to grant licenses to minors and to
persons who in its judgment would
be injured by the use Of intoXicants.
If any member of the family of IN APP
plicant for license objects to having
it granted, the Board of Excise is to
refuse; similarly if a license has al
ready been granted it may be revoked
upon a showing by any relative Of the
licensed person that such authorization
is working injury. Penalties are af-
fixed for the sale Of liquors to unlicensed
persons.-Lansing correspondence OF

A PROBABLE BONANZA.
A Splendid Prospect in Silver Hill
 Evidences of an old Silver Mine.

Messrs. Tommy Gates and Dave Gibson got in from Silver Hill last night, bringing some beautiful speci- mems of ore from their mines, the Emelie and Abbie Waterman. These claims were located in April, 1880, by Thomas Gates, John Murphy, Dave Gibson and MT. Knox, but no work was done until a short time ago. The two claims lie on opposite sides of hill, and the veins dip towards its cen. ter; to the south they apparently unite Tn the gulch and become one ledge. An incline has been run into the hill about thirty-five feet deep, where a cave was encountered, making il nec- essary to begin a perpendicular shaft to intersect the incline at the cave. Twelve feet of ore without reaching the hanging wall has been developed Tn the shaft, chiefly soft Carbonates that can be taken out without blast ing. Scarcely pound of waste rock IS being taken from the shaft. The prospects are so cheering for the fu- ture of the mine that the fortunate owners have refused to entertain sev- era! tiattering overtures to purchase the property by we'll known capital iSts and mining men. Water has been found at the mine, by sinking a well, and good road has been graded to within one hundred yards of the dump.
 The most remarkable circumstance in connection with these mines, how ever, was the discovery of what was evidently the dump of some ancient workings, amongst the debris, of which were found pieces of wall-rock with an abundance of horn silver ad- herring. As such ore could only have come from distance beneath the sur face, search was made for the source of supply, resulting in the discovery of what was evidently the mouth of an old tunnel, but which was filled with debris. The antiquity Of the work is evidenced by huge saguara which Tesrs it's ghostly form al the moutn Of the tunnel. Being a plant of SOW growth il indicates long lapse of lime since the mines were worked for the almost pure silver they evldenty contain.
 As every mine in that neigh hbor- hood has shown increasing good re- suits the deeper the work Is done, 1t is highly probable that an immense bed of mineral uuderlies that imme- diate neighbUrhood.

Null and old.

Our dispatches from Phenix are rather Of an important nature, inas- much as they bring us the news that ;be Supreme Court of the Territory decides that all acts passed by the solous wise after the 4th of March, the end of the continuous 60 days, are null and void. This decision prac- tically settles the extra pay question, and saves us from submitting to the repeal of tue bullion tax law 2; saves us from a big debt lev jed upouus for Territorial prison purposes: kills Hamilton's bill for compiling a book on the resources of Arizona, and, in fact, does away with nearly one-half of the sessions work. Graham county, according to this decision, will cease to exist and there will be war in Rome and runners of war from one end of the Territory to the other. The case of Osborn vs. Clark. Auditor of the Territory, brought about this decision, which will have the effect of undoing some good work, and great deal of mean, low, contemptible, villainoGs devlltry.

HARsHAw, April 6.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: In the Star of the 9th ' noticed somewhat lengthy and indignant protest against the action of the Board of Supervisors for ignor- ing the petition signed by several citi zens of Harshsw for the appointment of Major J. II. Turner as Justice of the Peace in the Fifteenth precinct.
 Now, beg the honor of conveying to the Star the information that there are two duly qualified Justices of the Peace for said precinct, but owing 10 the slim few that paronize our Court House, one Justice is more than suffi- cient to transact all business for this precinct.
 As regards the crushing trade di- rected al the head of Mir Pagan, it is only necessary to say that all who are acquainted with the above gentleman know he was not actuated through personal motives, but from thorough knowledge of the peoples wishes in this district.s
 I wish, MT. Editor, you could just step into our Justices office. You would receive most convincing proof that even one Justice is one too many for the Fifth precinct, if one might judge by the seedy and forlorn ap- pearance of the Court House of Har- shaw. OLD TIMER.

CANNOT some means be devised by which the Arizona Land Office can be fitted out with a real, live Register MT. Cousins has been appointed and confirmed, but only to fill the office {" by implication, so to speak. The matter of securing patents to mines is entirely blocked, and has been for six months. We trust the gentleman from Wisconsin will speedily put in an appearance and set the ball rolling. -[Epitaph.
 MT. Henry Cousins was nominated for the Register of the Florence Land Office on March 14, and was confirm- ed by the Senate on the Fist. Upon official information of his confrma- ton it was necessary for MT. Cousins to forward to Washington an official bond, on the filing of which his con- mission will be issued. The time necessarily consumed by these pre- parations is from eighteen to twenty four days, and hence the new Regis ter will likely leave his Wisconsin home for Arizona some time during the coming week.
