Smuggling Chinese into tlse United
 States.

San Frandisco. Oct. 3.-A dispatch from Seattle says that smuggling Chinese across the border from Brit ish Columbia has become a thriving business. Victoria colonists confirm the statement that, notwithstanding the representations of the Treasury agent sent to investigate the matter, the chinese smuggling is largely car ried on and that Victoria has become headquarters for chinese seeking to cross over to the Uniied States, The great lumber saw mills, of Puget Sound, employ chinese, which is the immediate cause why so many are smuggled over in that section.

About Stamps.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The postmas- ter general decides that the govern ment doesEnot hold itself responsible for mutilated stamps any more than it does for the fractional silver cur rency The official who had given this information said afterward to a reporter that all the issues of stamps by the government were received now in payment of postage with the exceptions of the issues of 1S47 and 1851.
 He also decides that the7 reduced rate of postage to gointo effect Oct 1 applies to domestic mails only, and not to mails for foreign countries, but becomes the rate of letters to Can ada. With the exception of Canada, therefore, the rates of postage named ln the foreign postage table of the postal gnide for August last continue to apply on and after Oct.

If the Atchison Topeka & Sana Fe company obtain the control of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, they will at once make the Grand Cation of the Colorado one of the great objects of interest on the road, by erecting a fine hotel in the Ca1on and one at Peach Springs and in many other ways providing suitable accommoda- tions for tourists. If the Southern Pacific should get the control, they may be depended on to do as much or more.

No better land eau be found along the line of the A. 15 ?. railroad than Wallapai Valley. Should the railroad people deem it worth the expenditure to sink for artesion water, and be successful, the whole valley must teem with people in few years, giv- ing the road tremendous return foI their land, and benefit the county with a large tax-paying popula- tion. It seems to us to be worth the effort.

Railroad Influences-Ets Cause
 And Cure.
Communicated.

The attempt of the Atlantic & Paci- iic railroad to secure immunity from taxation in this Territory is attracting considerable attention and is regard ed by many as an unusually auda- cious movement on the part of the corporation.
 In our judgment it is quite in har- mony with their general line of march towards absolute supremacy.
 Very few people realize the vast power and influence possessed by these great railroad corpol ations over the people which created them and who have conferred these vast powers upon them. Their land grants alone would to-day aggregate nearly or quite ten hundred and fifty millions of acres, covering an area greater than the thirteen origin al States. Their wealth Is almost be- yond computation and they have which is still more potent than gold, namely, an army of the most power ful and sagacious men in America. Their managers possess a high order of business ability, intellect sharpen ed by success and experience. This
Mohave County miner., 1883-10-07

is a factor of much importance in estimating their power and lntelli- gence.
 Their attorneys are of the best class. Every branch of the Govern ment, except, perhaps the judiciary, is more or less dominated by their influence. The Land Office which ought especially to be the representa- tives of the will of the people is rap idly becoming an instrument of these great railway corporations. Their controlling power in Congress Is notorious.
 Tn view of these facts, and many others that might be adduced, and in view of the success that has uni formly attended thelr aggressive move ments, it would not be surprising if they should succeed in relieving themselves of every portion of the public burdens. It is true the prop osition, baldly stated, looks absurd. It strikes at the very foundation of republican government. It IS a pro posal to increase the expense of administering the law in the three northern counties of the Territory, to avail themselves and their property to the fullest extent of the laws pro lection, and thrust the entire burden of such increased expenditure upon others, while they avold all financial responsibility. The legal fiction by which this IS sought to be accomplish ed is found in the act of congress incorporating the road in these words: "And the right of way shall be ex- empt from taxation within the Terri tories of the United States"
 Now it is not the province of this paper to enter into any legal discus sion on the meaning of this clause, but submit that to persons of ordi- nary intelligence not skilled in the law, thls exemption applies only to the right of way itself, and cannot by any fair construction be made to ap ply to the road bed, track, ties or any property placed on the land, which land is a free gift of the peo- pie to aid in the construction of said railway. The land so granted in the three counties amounting to over nine millions of acres. But we have reached the limit of space assigned us. Our next paper will treat of some of the causeS that have given this mighty, mechanical contrivance- the steam locomotive-and its living operators such almost omnipotent power.
 In the mean time We want to say that the position taken by the Board of Supervisors of Mohave county in resisting this encroachments on the rights of the people is movement in the right direction and should re celve the support and commendation of every true believer in the para mount authority and welfare of the people.

The great railroad conference at San Francisco seems to have produc- cd nothing, at least nothing that can be seen by aI outsider. Northern Arizona expected to know her fate, when the railroad magnates had con cluded their setting bu- on the contra xywe are as much in the dark as ever. The Central Pacific people are deter mined that San Francisco shall have no other master than themselves. They do not seem to fear Willard with his Northern Pacific, but if energy. pluck and money are any worth, the Central Pacific may yet ponder a moment how the people of California have it in their power to sus. per col. the people who have trodden them under foot with impn- nity. With a competing road to San Francisco-which would be the case if the A. P. could finish their line to that point, Northern Arizonais safe without it she is slave, bound hand and foot in a dungeon which admits no ray of light.

Another great tragedy, shrouded in mystery, has startled the country. A poor young girl, scarcely fifteen, was found brutally murdered in her sisters room at Oxford, Indiana. When will these outrages cease? Are detectives growing dull, or is the cunning of licentious deviltry out stripping cilization in secrecy? Al most every week we have to add another name to the long list of Mary 6tannard, Jennie Cremer, and Rose Ambler Clark. Now it is the poor girl, Adah Atkinson.

It is strange indeed that our Cali fornia mail still continues to come round by way of Prescott, when we have a direct route, via the Noodles, to San Francisco. We have been bound to Prescott so long, however, it is possible that the prescriptive right has grown to be absolute own ership. The Chicago and San Fran cisco papers of the same date arrive in the same mailbag.

Charley srcCo,nas st,IIa a Captive

Kansas City, Oct 3. Times Dem ing special says: D. H. Leroy and Geo. Wilson, who left here Sept. 19, for the purpose of the rescue of Charley McComas from the Apaches, returned to-day. Arriving at Casa Granda they found that Chief Ju had been killed on the 21st by falling from his horse, while drunk, into Casa Granada river. Geronamio sue ceeds him as chief. Leroy and Will son had much difficulty in gaining an interview, owing to the unsettled state of affairs on account of the ignoring of Jus sons in the success 1cn, and the fact that the Mexican soldiers were trying to get the In dians drunk presumably with view of massacreing them. The ambassa- dors finally secured an interview and offered Geronamio 100 bolts of calico and Z0J cartridges for the boy. The chief said the boy was with Jus widow, in the mountains, and she would not want to give him up, but he (Geronamio) would compel her to release the child upon the payment of the. ransom. At this juncture the Mexican soldiers appeared and the chief broke off the interview, Le roy and Wilson were unable to see him again and returned unsuccess- ful. Future steps, however, will be promptly taken for the rescue of the child. Geronamio claims to have l50 warriors and there are about 600 Mexican troops in the vicinity. Le roy and Wilson are well-known citI- zens of Deming and their statements are reliable,
