 EDITOR CITIZEN:
 Since the adjournment of the legisla ture Prescott has resumed its condition of activity. While the legislature va. ID session all klnds If enterprises re- mained m statu quo, for fear some sort of legislation might be enacted inimical to them, but no harm has been done and people breathe freer.
 The last to leave for home was Hon C. 4. Franklin, or Charlie, as he was famil- iarly called. He was quite popular per sonally, and ranks ss one ot the many good fellows" that were in the ie,isla- Ture. The passage of the general apDro- prlatlUn act resulted iu muci sorrow and misery to one gentleman ln Prescott. IL seems that one Of the lady clerks mad been here before as committee clerk and failed 10 receive about SlSO extra pay, voIed by the last legislature of 1881. lt was tackled ol to the appropriation bIlI as back pay In the item tU pay con- ungent expenses ut this session. The lady left for the south before Auditor Clark got his seal as provided by jaw, and young gentleman of this city gal lanty came forward and cashed her or der on Auditor Clark for her pay as com mlttee clerk thIs session, and also the ! order for the back pay, and she went on her way regOlcIn-. Clark refused to is- sue the warrant for the back pay. The | young lady ls ahead SlS0, and the polite and gallant young man IS left to m urn.
 As an instance ot the economy prac- tlced 1t IS only necessary to say that this l particular young lady received pay at | the rate ot nine dollars per diem and | three dollars per diem back pay, earning | by her industry twelve dollars per day | for 60 days or at the Tate of nearly S4OO | per month. The Auditor has refused to | pay the amounts ID the Contingent See ! ton O. rhe appropriation bill, until there shall have been decision of the | Supreme Court upon it. { lt Is stated that a mandamus suit | will be brought to test the question. ! The parties interested ID constructing ! the Prescott and thirty fifth parallel railroad have perfected the orLauIzatiou of the company and arc now in cor respoudence with parties East to build tue hne. It IS thought that work will commence on the [, ad io May or June of this year aud the road finished before the first of January next.
 The road commissioners to construc the Howell road to Big Bug via Lynx Greek are getting ready to go to work at an early day.
 The cummIssioT CT, named ID the Act to fund the tpa'ins md bonded Iudebt- 1 edness or the 1eTritOry have already sent their adyertlsc -aents to eastern and l California papers as provided in the l Act
 The secretary of {. Territory has the | copy already iu the hands of the printer for rne Journals or the last session oftac l Legislature and Le thinks they will be | ready for distribution the last of May | next.
 Work on the publication of the session l laws wlI commence on tue 10th of April | next and wIil also be ready by the mid Ule of June The city of Prescottih> | about tO bud a city hall which will | auswer admirably for the uses intended. |
 Prospecting n the neighborhood Is quite brisk and several rich finds are re- ported. Col. c. C. Bean has found a mountain of iron ore within a short dis tance oi Copper Basin and all this locali ty now needs is a coal field to render sme!tIng furnaces more profitable.
 Governor Tritle Is happy now that tn, labor of the Legislative session is ended He was really worked hard during tn, session and in every act did what he con scienti u-ly deemed correct. He IS ai ltiicial who makes lever mistakes thai any other tha. was ever in Arizona an tEe CIuncil n passing c0mplimentar, 'iutiOn tp hm, before It adjourned dI % well n -ited aud gracious act.
 Much rain has fall. n here recently and the weather has been very like summer tine. Yours truly,
