Lo. TEE POOR fEpIIN

The following facts from the Globe Silver Belt exhibits the inhumanity ot the American people toward the poor, abused Indian who, a although abundantly fed through the bounty os the govern ment and permitted to escape the drud- gery of manual labor, must pass the time and drive dul care away in the great national game of poker and the socia- bility of tizwin tea-psrties. II Is true they sometimes err to such an extent as to kill a few scores of white people, but we are comforted by the assurance that it is human 10 err, and that a divine principle actuates the Government in forgivinG them, and it kills several fatted calves when the festive prOdigals return to their sacred grounds from a pursalt of erring enjoyment.

 fragrant postal irregularities in this DOT ton of Arizona. As an instance Of the inefficiency of the route agents on the rsilrOad, we mention the fact that for several days past important letters were sent this office from Casa Grande, and they have invariably been permitted by the sonnoient agent to pass on eastward to Benson, whence they returned by evening train. This Is but a single in stance Of the incspscity and carelessness of route agents, and complaints of simi- lar and far more gross nature daily reach us for which there can be no -e1- cuse. We call Nr. McKusick's atten- tion to these facts and trust he will ap- ply the remedy for the ills we bear.

\ CONTRACTOR 70 the Congregational isi tells the story of the early attempt to propogste Mormonism in New Hamp- shire. Joseph Smiths mother was a :s'Stise of GilsuIn, New Hampshire, and Smith sad A co-laborers worked in the State for some time to make proselytes. A church was finally established at Gill sum iu ls4l. but after few years dis sensio- arose, and n 1899 another -5FTanch was organized. r. is needless to say that these early Saints did not prac- tics polygsmy, but, on the contrary, g.b- horredit. In IS55, after polygamy had been introduced ia Utah, some of the ''elders" came from the Territory to New Hampshire to reorganize the brethren. and some of the latter started to Utah. The church in New Hampshire then rap idly died out, and, in fact. many of those who vent to Utah became apoststes. The plural marriage scheme was not just the thing for the accustomed moral ity of the Granite State.

 TIE New York Tribune's "; shingtc D
 correspondent says that it is be iey
 that the name of Judge Blatchford will
 be presented in Conkling's place. It
 cannot be discovered that the Presi-
 dent has allowed any of his friends to see
 the letter of COnkling. The delay in
 COnkling's answer, SO far from making a furvre, has only served to give public in terest chance to die ont. It has been universally believed for q number of days that he would decline, and the an- nOuncement that he had finally declined
 vas received almost without comment. The topic has so far passed out of mind about. The opinion Of some friends of the President still is that the nomina- tiOn was intended to silence Stalwart complaints against the President with the appointment ot one of the chief Stal- warts; that the nomination of Conkling for place which, however honorable and distinguished, he probably thinks beneath his merits, was meant to .ignif, to him and to the country that he was not to be regarded a- necessary leader of his faction;thst while he may be con sidered su eligible candidate for United States Senator, he Is not to be supposed by himself or others to be 8 Warwick: tbst in short, there are no ether Stal- warts than ConklIng, and whatever plans the Administration is forming for 1884 may be for their benefit, rather than for his. This is the substance of talk that goes or among the intimate friends of the Prasident.

IKE Republic of Iiberls is said 10 bt.
 quite prosperous. It was founded in
 1922 by free blacks under tine auspices
 of the American Colonization Company
 and from which it vas declared in-
 dependent twenty-five years later
 The government consists of an execu-
 tive and Legislative assembly composed
 of a Senate and Chamber of Representa- tives elected for four and three years respectively. The entire Republic com
 prises about 9675 squars miles with a
 population of 1,O6S,0OO souls, ls,O00 of
 whom are civilized, the remainder being in semi-savsge state. The income of the republic IS bu; S111,457 which Is about equal to its expenditures, but the income in the near future is liable to be largely augmented by the exportation of the coffee berry which for the past thirty years has been assiduously and carefully cultivated. and now as a substitute to the Mocha and Jsta brands is said to possess no equal outside of the berry named, and as they through several irremediRble causes, are sad to be deteriorating, the Liberian coffee must come more prominently to the front. The trees are of so thrifty growth as to defy the ravages of the microscopic in- sects which unchecked are destroying the more susceptible and less hardy species of the Mocha and Java varieties. The Liberian trees are furthermore said to be uncommonly productive, and ex- ceptionsl trees have been known to yield sixteen pounds to one picking, although the average yield Is ten pounds to the two crops per year. Four years IS the time required for the trees to attain sufficient growth for the production of the first crop, and from that on they bear unceasingly for many years.
