McMinnville, July 20, 1883.
The Western grain and provision
markets are tending lower, which ex-
ercises depressing influence upon the
Southern markets. Corn in the South
is fully 2 cents lower than last week.
Wheat dull and but little demand,
with prices very low.
The dried fruit market not yet open
ed, and at present cannot say what will
be the ruling prices for either sun
dried Or eyaporated. There will, how
ever, be demand for both at good
prices we hope, and we advise all who
have fruit to take care of it and dry in
the best possible condition, so as to re-
alize the very best prices.
We clip the following comments from
the American of the 10Th:
"Trade remains quiet, with no espe-
cial changes in the market. Groceries
were in fair request. Prices were
steady and unchanged.
"Flour continues steady at quotations.
Wheat is held frmer, with a better
feeling in the market, especially for
the better grades in milling condition.
The receipts by rail are liberal. The
amount by wagon is light.
Country produce was quiet and un-
changed today. Feathers are dull but
steady. Eggs are quiet, with fair
local demand. The shipments are very
light.
SIN Chicago, grain ard provisions
were lower, as follows: August wheat
opened at 1O44 and closed at 1899.
August corn opened at Sig and closed
at 508. August Pork opened al
s14 779 and closed at $14 80. Au-
gust lard opened at So 929 and closed
at So 3d."

Guardian Of the Cronn.

An interesting event has occurred at Buda Pesth-the el"-' ..- r- one Cf the two Guardians .'t St. Stephen by the Ou.f ...-..-. ... Hungary, and the administration Of the oath of loyalty Co him. In no other country save England, says the London Times, is historical ceremonial. with aii its traditions and forms, Inc -....uiully adhered to than in Hungary. Thus the old State dignitaries of the king dom are still appointed, although with the exception of the President of the Supreme Court and the Ben of Croatia they have become mere titular office holders under the Crown. The two keepers of the royal Crown, however. are still held in high estimation. and their functions have been regulated by a number of old acts of Parliament. In the long dynast'c struggles the posses sion of the crown often decided the Is sue of the contest between different pretenders, for by the common people only he who had been crowned with the crown of St. Stephen was looked upon as king. The crown had. therefore, tO go through many adventures, and often for years its hiding place was unknown. When the succession or the House of Austria was secure two special guardians of the relic were appointed by the King and Parliament.
 Accordingly the Upper and Lower House met m the hall of the latter. The two Presidents took their seats side by side on the lais, and each addressed the assembly in turn. The hall presented an imposing aspect. the Bishops with the two Cardinals sitting in front of the Presidents and many of the dignitaries and members of the Upper House wearing the pictur- esque Hungarian costume. while all the galleries were densely filled. All pres ent stood up to hear the Royal Message read, which called upon them to elect one of the guardians, proposing at the same time four candidates de Szla- ", late Common Minister of Finance; Count Ladislaus Csaky, NJ. Ivanyl and Baron kemeny. The first was ,lected by exclamation. Then the oath was ad- ministered tO the new guardian in the Royal Palace. The imperial standard tiOated high over the center of the build ing, and the Hungarian and CrOatIan flags on the wings. The guard stood armed upon the steps of the pal ace, headed by the Crown Guard in crimson and steel and bearing halberds In the State apartments and the throne room the Hungarian body guard were present attired in red and silver. with leopards' skins dropping from their shoulders. The members of both houses having been marshaled into the throne room, His Majesty entered, preceded by the barons of the realm, the Master of the House carrying the State sword; the Ministers, a prelate carrying the double Apostolic cross, the great court officials and the captains of the guard. His Majesty being seated on the throne, and having covered himself. the Minister ad- dressed His Majesty and presented NJ. de Szlavy as one of the Guardians of the Crown. The oath was then read by the Minister attached to the p rson of His Majesty and repeated by II. de Szlavy. The Emperor was cheered loudly as he retired.

PARIS, Jan. l. iembetta died at an early hour this m rning. At one o'clock Gambetta had been much worse and an immediate crisis was feared. Lauuel- onoue who left Gsmbetta at seven o'clock in the evening was recalled at nlne o'clock, a change for the worse hav- ing occurred. GainOetta passed a good night Saturday El.ht, but be suffered from fatigue ETla.4-g from confinement Co his bed for SO long time. Exterior inflammation showed tendency to dlsap- pear, nevertheless aa operation was be lieyed to be necessary. Few, even of Gambetta's mtimAtes expected his death. It was known at half past two a. ID. that he was dying. He was sur
 ounded by despairing friends and his rtate was helpless and hopeless.
 PARIs, Jan. a.-The autopsy proves that the pistol wound inflicted month ago had no connection with the cause of Gambetta's deatl.

TIE RESULT OF TIE ELPcr1oN.

The charter elechon was unusually exciting. There was a struggle over every position oa the ticket, so that a remarkably large vote was boiled. The result Is not satisfactory, of course, to the defeated candidates and their friends, and get all must concede that the incoming administration is likely to prove Q beneficial one for the city.
 Mayor elect C. NJ. Strauss, while he did not rec, ve the support of this pa- per, We recognize as man of great ability and of progressive ideas. His business connections make him deeply interested in every enterprise to extend the commerce and trade of this city He is an Eastern gentleman, and is a fitting representative of the new and energetic element that has been infused into this community since the advent of the railroad. The CITIZEN is prepared to give MT. Strauss administration a hearty support, and expects that he will inaugurate a policy that will be very beneficial to this city and Territory. No man knows better what should be done, co7 .f Aa secares the active and iutellI- gent cooperation of the Council, as We doubt not he will, the coming year will prove an important one in the history of Tucsor.
 The Councilmeu elect, Messrs. Alex anier Levin and Pedro Aguirre, are well known and enterprising business men. We have no doubt but that they will look well to the interests of the city. They have important duties to perform in conjunction with the Mayor to place the city in the position that a town the size of Tucson should occupy.
 Recorder elect Meyer will bring to his clerical duties experience, and to his ju dicial duties integrity, tearlessness and good judgment. The CITIZEN has upon many other occasions expressed its opin- ion as to the qualifications of the gen tleman for the position.
 Treasurer elect Edward Hudson IS cashier in the banking house of Hudson E O., and Is a thoroughly reliable as we'll as competent gentleman for the position.
 The reelection of City Marshal 4. G. Buttner was deserving compliment to that efficient officer. Tucson never had better officer and his election is a guarantee of the continuance of the good order and safety existing in our city.
 Geo. \. Foster was reelected asses so- by a han dsome majority. Ueunder- stands the duties of the office and has always faithfully discharged them.
 From a pubic and disinterested poInt [ of view the CITIZEN concludes that the 1 result of the election will in no way be l detrimental to the city. The officers elect are competent, and if they take an interest ID public affairs approximating | that they displayed ID securing their election, the affairs of the city will be ! well and carefully managed.

TUCSoN's FUTURE.

The CITIZEN has in many ways exhib- itei its confidence in the future of this city. It is the metropolitan town Of the Territory having a population of up- wards of 10000 people. It is not mining camp, but a commercial town. It cen trally located and surrounded on all sides by mining camps of great prom ise. All these can be made to contrib ut@ to the Grnwth and general pros peuty Of this city, if our people. are alive to their opportunities. All that OUT people have to do Is to reach out and secure the trade of these rapidly developing camps and its future is as- suTsd. We have taken occasion to point out many avenues Of trade which should be opened up and from which the busi- ness ot the city would be greatly aug mented. If we have the public spirit ana the enterprise to grasp the situa- ton Tucson can continue to control the trade of the larger portion of thls Ter ritory.
 Our business men as they make their plans for the future shonld take these matters into consideration. They shonld see what new fields of trade can be made tributary to this city and work to secure them. It they will do this the growth of this city, during the coming year, will make 1t as one of the most prosp rous iu the history of Tucson.

4 NEW CITY CHARTER.

One Of the pressing needs of Tucscn is a reorganization of the city govern meut. The present system was sufficent when Tucson was a mere village, but Tucson has outgrown 1t. It is now q city with all the important interests and needs of a ci-y. A village form of gov ernuAnt is ra longer sufficient lt tvests too much authority and control m a few. The coming Legislature should be asked to grant Tucson a new charter. That charter should provide for di- viding the city into wards and for a council made up of representatives from each of the several wards. Tucson should be divided into five wards and each constitute a voting precinct. As Il is now all the ters are compelled to vote in one precinct and 1t Is with diff culty that all VI To are entitled to vote secure that right.
 A. the city expands diversity of in- terest springs up in different sections of the city and they are entitled to repre- seufation. Under the existing order of things the Council and Mayor may all be grouped in one locality and the bal ance of the city practically left without representation.
 The representatives at Prescott from Pima county should be furnished with a draft of a charter such as will be adapted to our changed conditions and asked to s. cure it's passage. We hope that the new city administration will make a move in this direction at once. It wlll show proper spirit of progress and improvement which all desire to

Gov. TRIrLE was in the city on New Years day on both public and private business. The Governor IS at work on hls message to be presented to the Leg isIature when 1t convenes in Prescott next week. He has no pet measures, but as he has given the various interests Of the Territory careful investigation and has shown rare capacity in meeting the public demand made upon the ex- ecutiye, We doubt not that the forta- coming message wlll be practical in its character and will contain many sug- gestions that The Legislature will do well 10 act upon. Gov Tritle has taken a deep interes in the welfare of the Territory, and has been strict Iu his attention to official duties. He has been no absentee, but has made the Territory his residence and has thoroughly iden- tified himself with us. With the bearty cooperation of the Legislature ms ad- ministration in the future can be made even more efficient and beneficial to the Territory than It has been in the past

The Indian Problem,
Austin~ CTeI.l siftings.

There would be DO trouble with the h. dians il they could only be organized in the system that prevails in the United
 States army. Fifteen per cent. of the Indians would desert, twenty per cent. would be of on furlough, eighteen per cent. would be on the sick list. and about ten per cent. mora consist Of played-out old bucks who would be too decrepit to mount their horses. As it is. the Indians are not organized ac-
 cording to the United States army plan of salvation, and the result is that they are always able tO put large force in the field and defeat our regular troops.

A NUMBER Of rumors are gnI1g the rounds of the press in ielation to Hon. John F. Potter, of Wisconsin, who acquired the cognomen of "BoWie-knife Potter" by his accepting Pryor's challenge to fight a duel and naming Bowie knives as the weapons, the com batants to be locked in 9 chamber. Potter Was aa abolitiouist and 1t was impossible to either browbeat or bully him into submission tO slave dictation which was powerful and domineering jast before the outbreak of war. l. Is reported by some papers that Judge Potter is dead. by others that he Is dy- ing in a poor hous' in Wisconsin. Judge Cousins, of the |. ;. Land office, who is an old friend and was a confidential adviser of Juige Potter during his active political life, informs us that the gentleman is & i'll hving and is not in poverty. Many of his near relatives have preceded him SO that in a measure he IS alone. He still uc- cupies his old home which has hanging upon its walls as memento Of the past, the immense BOwle knife which the Missouri delegation in the Chicugo con- vention which nominated Lincoln pre- scented to him. The blade is about three feet long of polished steel and Is appropriately engraved. Judge Potter is a man Of great ability and high per sonal character and We hope that his life may be still spared.
