lT vill be but few days until the ex- urahou of the forty-fifth Congress. Unless David Davls retires on the third ' March. 1t will become necessary for The President to call an extra session in 9tder to elect a President pro tenn of The Senate. as Mir. Davis term as Sena- mr expires with tine present Congress. ltis qIite likely that Mr. Davis will re- lre ID order Co create a vacancy, so that aFresiieut may be duly elected without Tue necessity or an extra session. oemorty would give the position Of President pro tenn to Senator Anthony U Rhode Island; after Anthony, Ed luaas and MorrIll would come in the o'der named. But as civil seryice has Aot Yet taken very strong hold on Senators, it is not at all probable 'e1ioHty will be considered. Mir. In gals Oi Kansas would make an excellent Presiding officer; he Is ready and apt, and would dispatch business rapidly. he IS sad to be second to no other man in Ithe Senate in general ability, and 'lolEh one of the junior members, may succeed Mr. Davis.

A BILL has n,l introduced in the Legislature to reimburse Mir Church in the amount of r2.W'a for attending the exposition at Denver, last year We question the prop. "ty of paying Mir. Church S2,0D or asv other sum of money for attending ;he Denver Ez- position. Nr. Church attended tine ex- position principally because he wanted to attend. to take charge of ores from Tombstone mines m which he was in- teTested or employed to represent, and We do not believe 1t k !usi or right that the TerrItor. should be called upon io foot the bill. There are a few people who think the exposition benefited Ari- zona; but a very large majority of the people are of the opinion that it did no good whatever. Every one knows tbat 1T really good mine Is found, even though it may bc hu; little developed It can be sold. There are dozen parties in Tucson to-day. who know just where tp place good mmes; even good pros poets are sought after. The Denver Exposition dId not create a market for us: we have had such a market, ever since the < iUtGe-u Pacific railroad made connection lglth She East. We have plenty of men to invest, only show them a really good property, OF even good prospect, and there are plenty Of men to take hold of #. We do not raise the question as to how NIT. Church performed hls work at Denver. He may have done it as well and thor oughly as any one could do it; but it IS something which Arizona had no hand in getting mp, and Arizona should not be called upon to foot the bills.
 These expositions are good things for Denver; they bring money To that live.groving, young city, but they are of no earthly use to Arizona. We can sell our good mines at any time; but even Denver ezpositioGs can not help us in disposing Of wild cat mines, Tor even assist us iu selling ordinary prospects. We must rely upon thorough mining men to assist us in disposiug of our mines. and they would not give two cents to see rich ore piled up in a Den yer Exposition building. Ttey much prefer to see the ore on the dump in quantity, and kaow that there Is some rnor,, Of fine same kind in the mine. Such information is rot 10 be obtained at an exposition, nor any other information that IS of any practical use to a mining man.

THE affidavit of Prof. Church, read in the Supreme Court. Friday, charging Judge Hoover with receiving large sums Of money from Clark, party to the suit pending in the Supreme Court, and asking the Judge not to sit in judgment on the case with the other Judges on the Bench, has certainly created a great deal of talk and no little sensation. The parties opposing Mr. Clark in the suit claim to have good and sufficient req son for the charge. It cannot be denIed but the gentlemen. Prof. Church, Judge Haynes. and Mr. Mitchell are reputable men. The action of Judge HoOve-'s as sociates yesterday ID reiuslng to receive or entertain the affidavit was perfectly natural. with the information they had upon the subject. IT these charges are true, and can be made SO to appear. it cannot be deuled but they are grave ones: upon these charges. Judges Pinney and French could not act intelligently otherwise than they did Coming up as 1t dId, without any pre- vious notification or warning, they could do nothing else but protect their asSoci- ate; but these gentlemen do not, We are confident, approve ofJudge Hoover bor- rowing money from parties interested in suits to be tried before him, if such can be sustained. This is an unfOr- tunate state of affairs and very serious. The action Of the Court yesterday was not an endorsement of Judge Hoover on ly so far as it went at the time. The matter does not cease here. There will be further proceedings, no doubt, and the Judge, if innocent, will be sustained if guilty, will have to abide the conse- quences. His personal friends believe in his innocence; those interested m thu suit now pending firmly believe him dis' qualified to sit in the case.

HOMES FOE TEE HOMELESS.

The agricultural land of Arizona will ha largely increased during the coming year. 4 company has been organized to construct a canal to lead the water cl,t of Salt river some 10 miles above Phenix which will add some 5000 acres of productive land ir Maricopa coun- ty.
 \ similar comusuy has been organ izei to take water out of the lower Gila river Iu or near the biz bend, which will bring iu us much more in Yuma county. 4 number Of small lrFigating canals are being constructed in Graham and Apache counties. and the old canals are being widened end extended. The area of farming land will be largely increased during the coming year.
 The high altitude Of Graham and Apache counties IS well adapted to the raising ot vegetables, especially pota- toes, which do well. The low lands of Salt river and Gila Valley will produce everything except Irish potatoes in abundance; 1t is well adapted to the cultivation of cotton aud sugar cane, and We have no doubt the orange, fig. prUue and apricot would do fully as v.el'o on the GjFa as in any portion of Cal if0rnia.
 The statement is often made that there are no agricultural lands to be taken up in Arizona to amount to any thing; this is a great mistake; there IS an abundance oi good farming land to be haj iu the counties above named, aud we are glad to know that it is being settled upou. There Is more good land where w'ter cau be had with which to ir-ca5e. Ia Arizona. than there IS in Col oraio and Nevada put togethes, and as to srazing hand, with the climatic uJ- vautages oH oUr side there Is no com partsou.

OUR President, who IS usually up III matters of etiquette, has made bad break" A farewell reception to the Forty Seventh Congress was gotten up, but instead of issuing invitations by card, as has been the custom of Presi- dents, he caused a general invitation to be inserted in Washington papers ask ing the attendance of members of Con- cress. This was too much for the dig nity of Senators and members of the House, and as a result very few of them attended.

A correspondent of the Miner, who recently visited the Grand Canyon of Colorado, says:

Walls of massive and tower ing magnitude, embracing layer upon layer Of rock strata, of colors beyond the power or ability of your correspondent to describe The rainbow with its beau tiful combination of heavenly cOlors sink into insignifcance compared to the re- splendent and variegated cOlOrs this mighty wall. wrought by ihe hand of nature. presents, looking from the wa ter's edge heavenward tO tbe table-land above, a distance of seven tO eight thousand feet high. While standing m the mighty chasm, weird, solemn, yet more gorgeous than any other m Amerl- ca. with naught to break the spell but the rippling waters making music to the deep and awe inspiring thoughts Of the visitor, as they roll on to the mighty ocean, we are lost in wonder. We went direct to the mouth of Cataract Creek, to describe which would fill book and command au abler per than the writer of this.
 Down ID the mighty canyon We found a spring of pure crystal water gushing forth from beneath the huge black lava bed. which furnishes about half as much hquid as the Verde. We found fishing good in this stream and the trout anx- ious to inspect the bait on the hooks as they were thrown carelessly into the water, resulting in the capture of large number of the piscatorial tribe, weigh ing as high as ten pounds. \ day spent iu this amusement and We proceeded down this mystic canyon until We came tu a depression where basin was dis covered with ice formed tO the thickness of seventy feet. Beyond, in exploring, objects of great curiosity ana interest, of which MaIor Powell said very little in- deed, were discovered, many things curious, strange and interesting until our party came upon bear den under a mighty cliff, when pistols and knives were quickly drawn and a hand-to-hsnd | fight commenced, terminating m the death of four large bruins and the woundlng Of three ot our party.
