THE pENvER EXPOSITION

The Governor has been taking the necessary steps to secure the proper representation of the mining interests of this Territory at the coming exposition in Denver.
 The necessary space for the exhibits of ores from the bonanzas of the rich mineral sections has been secured.
 On the 18th instant the G vernon tele- graphed to Judge Samuel H. Ebert, Denver, to secure space for Arizona in the Colo ado exposition and received the following reply;
 DENVER, May 2S, 1SS2-Gov. r. 4. Title, Prescott, A. T. Have reserved requisite space for Arizona in expusi- tion.
 In accordance with the request of the managers of the exposition, the Cover nor has appointed a commissioner to represent the Territory during the ex- hibition.
 In his selection of a gentleman for this position we think the Governor has been very fortunate. We know of no man better qualified in ability, ex- perience and reputation to do justice to the interest of Arizona in such posi- tion than Prof John A. Church, Super intendent of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Company. MT. Church has signifed to the Governor his acceptance of this appointment and now 1t remains for the prospectors and miners of the different districts to oprovide the neces- sary specimens and data from which a fitting representation of our mineral re- sources can be obtained.
 The CITIZEN can not too strongly urge upon those interested, the importance of this matter. We have confidence in the resources of this Territory and our ability to take rank with any precious metal producing section in the world, but proper representation can not be secured without effort, and we hope there will be no failure for Tant of 1t. The miners in each district should hold meetings at once and provide for united acton so that all may have fair chance to have their merits known.

InrdsbErg Letter.
LoRpsnrra. \. M. MAr

LORDsBURG, \. M. MAY 2S. lSS2 EDITOR CITIZEN. Upon my arrival here yesterday. I was surprised to find such m enterprising little town in the midst of New MencO's great desert. LOrdsburg is located 1l3 miles east of San Francisco, in the cente- of a great desert which, before railroad days, was inhabited only by rattlesnakes. Jack rabbits and the Apaches, but now it IS different; here in the midst of the sert IS a thriving little town which wIll com pare favorably with some of the older places in New Mexico. Her business men are composed of some Uf the solid men of San Francisco. Among them I might mention J. Liberman S Co.,. for warding and commission merchants and agents for the L,ngfellow Copper min ing company of Clifton, Smyth S Bab- cock. c ,rroll < COnrO and J. R Beune,J k Co. The hotels, of which th re are two, are unsurpassed. The Owuhy House, kept by J. F. Ownby, IS a crrdi: to the town and the proT rietor. The L. tick House, J. r. Ustick S Co. Is cool, clean and commodious. One redeemiug feature lends an enchantment to the place, that IS tlr nakct. One k not ham1ered by aE attempt to choose he- tween chops, roast, ,urlujn, OK and lanir. but his decision k quickly made be- tween tough beef and bacon. The form CT k very economical as a hOaricr so exhausts himselfi in attempting to ca. is that he falls back with DO strength tc undertake any thing else. The railroad depot is ably presided over by Ira c. rr'--.r e .---.-st-----s of tnnats arl aiilif,
 MT. Hnag hls the finest cabi ct or mi eral specimens to be fuund ou ,his coast. He has other specimens, two ot winch are worthy of mention. They are both labelled New Mexico life preservers- One IS an old six shooter without lock, stock or barrel, the other a government check for two dollars and eiShty-ci.ht cents Jn the Assistant Treasury at San Francisco and bears the inscription Military Telegraph opera,or's salary, month of April, lSS2." Your correspond ent interviewed the military operator above mentioned and found him seated on dry goods box for chair and using a coal scuttle for a spittoon- He looked lean, lank and hungry and evidently does not board at either of the hotels.

CALABAsAs, May 26.
 FDIroR CITIzTs-Ibe magic growth of this place IS causing much comment. Within the past week five wooden build ings have been put up and others are in course of construction. The principal street IS called Buzzards Lane, named SO on account of the bad English spoken by two French ladies whose stock m trade consists of a snappish little dog that runs out to bring the unwary m. The upper lights Of the town live m brick houses and profit by the style of architecture. Here the respectable DOT ton sit and discourse the Bullion Bill, aud swearing vengeance on the baker ot Phenix. The shades of day give place to the clmmer and smell of had coal oil. when the dem:-moude cougrecate to shcw their nee dresses and trip the light fantastic. The hug in the dizzy waltz makes one stand amazed amid the vhirl until the barkeeper shouts the announcement promenade your ladies Co the bar" and so it goes til some despised rairoader calls for a dance when up jumps some noble son of Kansas and gives him the grand bouucc. The merchants here are doing well and as a rule they are geutlemaaIy and accommodating. Tom Smyth's uu- pretentious saloon is having a big run and IS deserving Of 1t. The dives at tie lower end cf town are waiting theirturu, but they will well tle vote for tEe ext delegate to Congress. The first railroad contract sou;h of tLiS place is that oi Ward and Courtney, wtose work has been shut down. waiting orders for e nine mile side track, which will be tte secund largest side track in the w0r d. . IL will have twelve switches. Sullivan S camp follows, and it would not he am.ss here to state that Sullivan is the ! best feeder on the road. Then comes Grant, tn white mans friend. and none others ns ed apply. OILLelis camp comes ID oext to the Sonora line, fol- | lowed by Stout and Rogers camp still | lower down. Many ot tue Mexicans are leaving for their homes and your correspondent thinks that it is about as well that they should go as they vii never make politicians, so of what good are they here.

General W. $. Rosecrans ls a great man. He admits the fact himself. He even publicly announces himself great man. Half apologizing for a long life of semi-obscurity, he attributes his pr' sent pre-eminence to the passage of the Chinese bill by Congress. Like the moon-eyed disciple of COnfucius in this country, who Is assured a laundry m' h. opoly of ten years by the restriction bill, and consequently advances the price of fraying soiled linen, this Democratic son of the Golden Gate demands the suffrages of his constituents that he may complete the greatness that only awaited the efforts of his Republican colleagues to arouse from its dormant state. He writes to the Democratic wire-pullers of San Francesca that they cannot afford to leave him among the political icebergs, and in his absence coqdette with another dear charmer. He intimates that to hls herculeane forts alone is due the passage of the Chinese bill, and onto the Chinese queue he suspends his medal Of fame and the hope Of its spontaneous recognition by a grateful people. And General Rose crans also takes occasion to solemnly | allece tbat he Is honest It may be a rash assertion, but it Is opportune and will carry some weight on the sand | lots.
 The Democracy of San Francesca will exhibit degree of cruelty uneIampled if they do not heed this pitiful appeal o' their member of Congress, and give hl' alleged honesty and ability an oppor tunity to iructify and attain the over shadowing proportions he sovsts

THE LAND LEAGuE


 A cablegram received in New York says that grave crisis has arisen in the Land League movement, threaten ing the unity and very existence of the organization. It has withstood the attacks of the English Government, and the Irish Land League came out of the ordeal Of coercion stronger and more vigorous than before. There is an in- surrection inside the party. All who take part in the oppOsiti to Parnell do not intend this, but it will that they have been led into 1t by men in America and here, who mean this thing and nothlns E else. The original authors ot the mo rent policy are at the bottom of 1t, and they use the Repression bill to pose as sturdy champions of the national cause.
 There IS good reason to believe that the revolt of a section of the Irish members against Parnell Is not an accidental or passing opposition. Jealousies and am bitions are at work that can scarcely fail to divide the party before long. The passage of the Arrears bill, on winch, with all its shortcomings, the hundred and fifty th"usand Irish homes depends, is endangered by the division. All sen- sible men Tn Ireland admit the necessity | of accepting any measure that will re- | heve the country from its present de ] T FNTlHn. ger, except wise and prudent counsel prevail. and the demons of discord are exercised. The Nationals have suffered fearfully through coercion, and it is al them that the Repression bill IS chiefly aimed. They are disgusted at the dema gogism displayed by some of those mem bers Of Parliament who are known to bt place-hunters and utterly rotten, and who would desert the Land League to- morrow if they thought they could do Il with impunity.
 ParnelTs moderate attitude Is dictated by deslre to obtain modification II the provisions of the bill, knowing ful well that in one form or another It Il sure to pass. His object will be defeat ed by the violent speeches which, how ever, well meant, produce no result bu that of eIasperating the English. Thes' are painful rumors. It Is believed tha the opposition to Parnell originated II America, among those who are the dead ly enemies of the national organization Parnell is utterly disguised, and, unles he is supported by a reasonable polio! by t bulk of the people, he will un doubtedly throw up the leadership an' abandon Irish politics.

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

A longer postponement of the thorough organlzati of the Republican party IS lnjudIcicus. In some counties the initiation has been taken, but it should be made general. Saturday If this week the Republicans of Tucson are invited to meet for the purpose of perfecting the permanent organization of Republican club.
 We believe there now exist in the Territory the elements out of which a grand Republican victory can be achiev- ed this fall. The attitude that the Re publican press and the prominent men have placed the party upon the question of lawlessness and its suppression, will bring to the support of the Republican ticket the votes of the law-abiding, peace and safety loving psople of the Territory regardless of their views upon national politics
 Every citizen acquainted with the views entertained by eastern people, from whom we expect to obtain capital to develop our latent resources, knows that the success of the Democracy at this time, committed to the defense of ot the dangerous element ill the commit nity, will be a public calamity which will check the progress of the Territory until the people have another opportu- nity to rectify the blunder.
 We do not charge the Democratic party as a mass with favoring lawless- ness, for we have in our possession letters from strong Democrats protest ing against the course of the press and the ofhce-seeking, wire-pulling portion Uf the party. This reliable clement in the party has little show, however, of controlling the action of the organization, and We are confident that many of them will support Republican ticket. We are in favor of making straight issue upon this question SO that We may know whether the dominant sentiment is good or bad.
 It is a political principle with us that it Is better to be beaten in defense of right than to triumph by trucking to wrong.
 The result of the coming election will in our iudgm nt be of great importance to the material interests of tie Territory and it should enlist the active attention of all who are interested in the perma- nent growth and prosperity of this sec tion of the Union.

WE learn that from the Prescott pa pers that Gov. Tritle leaves the Territor. ial capital to-day for Washington upon business connected with th- interests of the Territ ". The Governor will pass through this city on his way, but wheth- CT he will make any stop here we are not informed. From our Prescott exchanges we judge that the Governor has not changed his mind as to the needs of the Territory and proposes to make the ef- fort to secure whatever aid may be pos sible from the general government to be used when the local governments are powerless or unwilling to furnish the re- quired protection to life and property. The CITIZEN cannot but express the hope that the Governors mission may be successful and that he may succeed m impressing more correct views upon the authorities at Washington as to the con- dition and needs of the Territory.

TRANQUILITY vs. HEAD CENTRE
Another Big uinins suit Decided Yes-
 terdny.
Tombstone Ep.taph

Tombstone Eptaph.
 This suit, which created so much in terest among the mining men of thIs vicinity was decided yesterday in iav r of the plaintiff. Tbe shit was brought last December and a temporary Injuc- tion granted restraining the Head Centre from working oyer the side line of the Tranquility. He Head Centre Is a triangular clUm worked, on the dip of the ledge beyond the line of the Tran quilIty. The Head Centre claimed they had a r'gut tO follow the dip of the ledge SO long as the croppings were in their grounds, even though the dip Of the ledge passed beyond th- vertical plane, extending dOwnwards through the line which cnt the ledge on Its strike. The Tranquility maintained that said line crossing the ledge on it's strike was an end line of the Head Centre. Tms position of the Tranq qulity was man. tained by the Court and the Judge instructed the Jury that said line must be considered an end line for the two claims and. therefore, instructed that a verdict be entered for the Tranquility. Under this case the uENl GulIulltlNt AtE Hiiiu AdH been promulgated as to the rights of a triangular location; and makes tue sides ofthe triangle crossed by a ledge the end lines of the loc lturs, Irrespective of the dip of the ledge. The settlement oi this case ends all litigation as tO the rights of the different claims on Contention hill. The InquilIty company ha.e al- ready started wort on that part of the D. q e W ich v as in controversy, and m the .ourse Of wvtk or ten days the ] ran utility w.ll be shipping bullion and gives promise of being a fine paying pr perty. It Is understood that ibe Tranquility made an offer to cumpru mise the case within a couple of months by giving the Head Centre fifty thousand shares of Tranquility stock in exchange for the acknowledgment nf the demand, of the two companies. Tie Tranquility was represented by Lewis < Berry Stewart & Harrin. and Earll, Smith Williams and R. s Messick
