THE ROAD TO GLOBE.

A gentleman who has for years resid- ed on the Gila river, and who is familiar with all the typographical features of the country between Tucson and Globe, has kindly furnished the data for the following information concerning the proposed new wagon road to Globe. His ideas of the route is based upon the sup2osition that the road should be built for the benefit of Tucson, and therefore the shortest practicable route f,r good road should be selected.
 Leaving Tucson, he would proceed around the point Of the Santa Catalinas abont two miles beyond the junction oI the Canyon de Gro road, where he would turn a little to the right and follow in direction of Table Mountain ridge or mesa that will scarcely require any labor to construct road over. This direction vill take one to the Old Camp Grant wash, through which some work will be necessary to provide permanent road to Old Camp Grant. Thence proc, ed down the San Pedro for seven or eight miles, where a natural ford exists, avail. able at all seasons except during ex treme high water. and, crossing, proceed directly north across the Gila, by sim liar ford, where two routes to Pioneer present themselves. The one, direct road over the hills. which would cost from S5,OOO to SS,0O0, or a somewhat longer road by easier grade up the rIver and around the mountains. He thinks the bulk of the cost of the road will be between the Gila river and Psoi eer, and that 1t ought to be made a toll road and kept in good repair by a company.
 This route, he says, will, in reaching tue Gila, save fully twenty five miles over the proposed route by Willow Springs to Putnam's, and from the Gila to Pioneer, the suggested rolte would save more than half that number of miles, besides giving a far better road
 He IS also of the opinion that if the road from Tucson be constructed by way of Riverside, 1t will serve simply to improve the road for the Globe freight CTS to Casa Grande, and not defect their custom to Tucson.
 As this question IS now being agitated al. .h.,,t1 h.. o.r.f,Iiy a.pei1arad and . road instructed by a route that will bring the largest bulk of trade to Hue son. regardless of all other eonsidera. ious. No great work can be accom-. plished without some individual dissatis. factlon, but for the sake of the public good, whichever route may be selected et all work harmoniously to accomplish the good work.

is order that the salaries of post masters el ths basis of ? cent postage might lst he cui down in proporh D to the reduction. Congress at it's last session enacted ueW schedule of postmasters' seiariss. Tho new and old law schedules cannot be exactly compared, because tharc are differences in the gradation of the offices Il each class, and because the present scheJuIe includes box rents, variable element, and limits the com psHsati0n from box rents to one sum fl the postmaster furnished and 10 au5.he- if be does not For example among first class offices, where tbe g-ass revenues are S41.0O1 the present maxi- mum compensation Is S2,900, and after the new schedule goes into effect. the fixed salary will be S3,OO0. Under the Zew schedule second class offices are those whose receIpts range from SS.0OO to sia,01o, and the salaries from S2.000 to S2900. Third class offices are those whose receipts are from 1900 to SS,000, and the salaries range from S1,000 to Sl.3O1. Iu offices Of the fourth class postmAsters are now allowed 60 percent. of the trst Sl0o per quarter of revenue, and 51 per cent on revenues exceeding that and not exceeding $500. The new schedule allows the whole Of the first SoJ-of revenue per quarter, 60 per cent. oi the next SlOO. and 90 per cent. of the next s2)o. From this it appears that in most instances there will not be much change in the most offices, but in ofic,s of the fourth class. the salary has been raised.

HENRY N. TELLER FOR vIcE-PRrsDEST


 The Santa Fe Daily New Mexican says: Henry NJ. Teller. Secretary of the Int. nor, is mentioned as a probable candidate for Vice President on the Republican ticket in 1884. Mr. Teller is sn able man, a man of brain. industry aud good official habits coming as he does from a State where the fercest political contests known to the States are waged, it is remarkable that he has been able not only to hold his own, but to make head against his eremies- He has stood opposed to one of the most powerful. rich and able combinations in the Republican party of Colorado, that headed by Senator Hill, the Walcotts and General Humlll. These he has beaten steadily along, and with apparent ease. MT. Teller while be has bitter. and determined foes in the combination named, has many, and peculiarly devoted friends, not only among the Republicans, but among the Democrats. He stands well with the country, and Is known as by far the best head the h. teriOr Department has ever had. If the move to place him on the Presidential ticket s wisely made, and is successful, he will greatly strengthen it, by bring ing an almost solid West to itt enthusiastic support. The Republican party can do many worse things than tu place Henry M. Teller in the race" The CITIZEN comments the good sense in the above article. In 1880 the kans IS papers called for the placing of Secretary Teller on the presidential ticket with Gen. Grant, and had the General been nominated, a strong probability existed that the second place oD the ticket would have been filled by Mir. Teller.
 Mr. Teller Is a stronger man before the people to-day than he was in lSSO. His eminently successful administration If the Interior Department has resulted ID his being universally pronounced tht best Secretary ever occupying that pos . ton in the Cabinet. His successful manipulation of the Indians, the Pen sion Bureau and the public lands anu railroads, recommends MT. Teller to the kind consideration of tine people.
