The NngrO.

Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
 have been greatly interested ID con- versIng with these new and independent citizens. One interview will serve as a sample for dozen:
 "Well, uncle. how are you getting on with your spring workY'
 "Pears like I amt gittin' on at all mos'ly, sah, spring so late"
 T see you have a mule. Is that yo1rs"
 '.NJ, sah. Boss furnishes de mnle."
 "What do you pay for the use of the mule!"
 -Four hundred pounds of cotton, sal" {"
 At eightcents a pound, that would be S32 year for the mule, wouldn't itY'
 Spec you's bout right. boss"
 How many acres do you worky"
 "Well, sah Is lowed forty acres, but can't get in mOre'n bout thirty or thirty five"
 Do you work 1t all yourselfg'
 '4Oh, no, sah; works two hands, sah. !" 1.-Two hands? who are theyyn
 "Oue's my wife and sudder my fsder sah."
 "What do you get to live on till you make your cropY'
 "W ell, corn meal mos ly, sah, and some bac h."
 Do you make your own cornY
 "No,sah, de boss; be advances de corn meal"
 "I see. He advances the corn meal and the bacon, and gets hls money back out of your cotton. Now what does he charge you for the corn meal when you come to a ssttlsmentY"
 .gTuo dollars a bughel Gah."
 Two dollars bushel! Why, 1t IS not worth one dollar bushsl Tn Tallahassee Are you sure he charges you two dol lars?
 Amt no mistake bout dat, shoah. He gets two dollars for ebery bushel."
 "Well, now, what rent do you pay for the iandg
 Eight hundred pounds .or de land and four hundred pounds for de mule"
 And how much cotton did you raise last year?
 Nigh as kin remember, it was seben bags, and little ober three hundred pounds"
 "That was nearly four thousand pounds; at eight cents pound, say three hundred dollars. How much did you have left after you had settled your rent and paid all the advances!
 "When I settled, sah, dey war nigh on to twenty dollars comin' to me-"
 "Twenty dollars for the years work of three handsl And what did you do with all that moneyy
 "Spree'd it of, speck, sab, and had a good time. Anyhow dey wasn't none ob it left when Chrismus done gone" And actually the serene dGrky chuck led and grinned broad smile of satis- faction ai the recollection of those Christmas doings, and how much fun he got out of that S20.
 Altogether, they are a cheerful, good natured and amusing race, these sons of Ham, and now that society has been shaken down since the reconstruction period, and the forces of superior intel ligence and political sagscity have | brought the whites to the top and to the practical control of affairs in state, eoun- ty and municipality, there is a remsrka- bic degree of tolerance, or good temper and of mutual understanding between the diverse elements of the population here. Political bitterness has disap- peared.

THE NEW CITY HALL.
What the New structure will Be.

Work has been commenced in preparing the old walls of the City HAu for the construction of the new building. the contract for which has been let by the City Council to V. J. DoherJ.
 The plans and specifications call tor raising the present adobe wslls sufficiently high to g1Ve a fourteen foot ceiling below, and general re- modelling of the interior Entering the city hall from vestibule a room S4x5o feet will be devoted to the purposes of Council Chamber in which the municipal minds will mingie and in their wisdom labor for the publie veal. At the rear of this room, but entirely disconnected will b. the jail pavilion, cells. jail yard. etc., with sn entrance from the alley at the rear of the court house. The jail pavilion will have no roof, and plenty of light and fresh air will be admit ted. ard the prisoners confined m the well planked cells bordering the pavilion can at least smell and breathe the pure ar of liberty even though they are temporarily restrained from further experience in that generally sc cepted compensation for eternal vigilance Six iron-grsted. double-planked cells VI ] 1e made facing the jailor's room on the east side of the open pavilion. and the iailOr can sit hls quar- ters and observe every movement of the prison CTS without turning his head. His room and a bed recess. with closets, will he lsxSS feet m size and in the rear of his room towards Church street, x large jail yard will be made
 The second story will be made of frame, in rustic style. upon the adobe walls. A large room, sixSs feet. with closets, will occupy thus story. balcony, four feet wide, will extend across the front on Court street
 The elevation shows a neat appearins building. without any pretense to sdoulment-a common place. utilitariAn structnre that must s"On pass away before the encroachnents of future pro gress. It will answer well it's designed purpose for perhaps 6 decade, unless the already crumb- ling a1obe walls prove unequal 70 the extra weight placed upon them.
 The engine house will he practically the same structure described heretofore in these columns It will be constructed of adobe, at the rear of the CIty h.ll. facing on Church street. its front will have c, double doors below. and thr- windows in tn, sec nd story. The size of tho building Outsid. Eil' be s5x6O feet, and at the rear frame bel to~er lsxl4 feet in size will ris' to hei sht of sixty feet This building like tn, City hail. will be constructed with a view to econ omy, and but very meagre ornAmentation will b, given IL.
 Mr.W. J. Doherty will push the work to a; speedy completion as will be consistent witi good workmanship and strict compliance witl the terms of the contract.

Mir. Putnam. who resides on the San Pedro river. at far from old Camp Grant. was in the city Friday on business. He states that slnce January Ist the settlements on the San Pedro have b.-en without a single mail. although con- tract exists for weekly mail from Benson to Riverside. supplying ahe settlements at Red dington. Mesaville and DudleyVille- The con- tract over this route WAS awarded to a resident of Washington D. C.. evidently with hope of an increase in price to expedite" the mails as it was ;akeh for SqO0 per year, sum entirely in- adequate for the purpose. The contractor sub contracted with Benson party to carry the mail. freeing to pay him sl.soo, personal loss to the original contractor of SeO- The Benson uarty fulfilled his agreement for SIX months. up to January hrst and 'ailing to receive any remuneration whatever. he refused so longer perform the dutles
 The residents of the San Pedro section of country, Co the number or lii persons, heads of families. forwarded 6 petition last January. prayIng for a. lesst a weekly mail, but no atten- tion WAS paid to it. A mail gOes from Tucson to verside regularly and all the residents be- tween riverside and Benson, on the San Pedro, mus ..o from fifteen to sixty miles for their mail. This is a hardship tat ought not to exist and tho proper officials of the Department sbould make 1t warm for the derehot contractor who has underbid legitimate bidders and utterly neglected to perform the service
