R. Gratz Brown wants to be United States Senator from Missouri. He is a Democrat now; he has been Whig, Democrat, abolitionist and Democrat; if there was anything else to be polit- ically he would be it. He was the political protege of Frank Blair. He was born into public life by old Tom Benton, but Blair was the accoucher and furnished the corn-cobs. He was a notorious drunkard; so much so that upon one occasion Cat New Haven, Conn.) referred to recently by the St.. Louis Republican, he was unable to distinguish between the effect decom- posed watermelon would have upon the broadest part of his pants, and his own fllthiness. He is now temper ance orator. What has he not been? ? Frank Blair made him the tail of Greeley's kite--he would not have been heard ofexeept for Blair; he died politically when his godfather died. The people of Missouri will guard against the crowning disgrace of hav- ing him for senator.

Notes for Legislators.

At the last legislature, &, ,657.SO were paid for newspapers ;and four houses Hughes of the Star, Gosper and Me- Clintock of the Herald, Beach of the Miner and Tucker of the Democrat took $2,S4S.2O of that, leaving the other eleven papers $l3O96O as their share. The cost of printing, for which the Territory was responsible, was $S,2OO. We have not the Auditors report at hand, but it is certain that the print ing absorbed an extraordinarily large percentage of the Territorial income.
 The unnecessary multiplication of clerks cost $11, ,5SO in addition to what the general government paid, and some of them never performed any duty, and most of them very little. The legislators of the Eleventh Assem- ply were made, as the present ones will not be, it is hoped, the victims of feminine pertinacity and masculine cheek. The last legislature voted themselves, as extra pay, $1O,SOO. The BELT thought then, and thinks now that the pay of representatives is too little; but fifty per cent seems to us sufficient increase. In this $10,S00 was included extra pay for clerks. The clerks who. worked were well enough paid, the others were dear at two bits day.

Correspondence.

EDITOR BELT: I observe that our representative, MT. Graves, has intro- duced resolution in the House au- thorizing the county of Gila to create a bonded debt for the purpose of build ing a court house, etc. He seems to have taken this step without asking the wishes of the Supervisors or the people. For one l am opposed to run ming the county in debt one cent. It has already incurred a debt of several thousand dollars for building a jail and buying property, and has assumed a portion of the debt of Maricopa county, some eight thousand dollars. To add to this indebtedness, some ten or twenty thousand additional dollars would be suicidal. The town of Globe now pays three.fourths of the whole tax, say at the rate of three per cent, (which in San Francisco would cause a revolution, it being limited to one per cent there.) There is no real sub- stantial wealth here, except the bands of cattle upon the surrounding hills. Had we farming lands the case would be different. The bullion producers pay nothing, and the only resource seems to be the few merchants and their temporary improvements to look forward to for revenue for hungry officials, the administration of justice, criminal and civil, schools, etc., etc. It seems to me that the strictest econ omy should be practiced. If these lavish expenditures are to be continued tue taxos must be increased in propor- tion-the improved property will cease to have value as as it will not rent for enough to pay the taxes upon it. tis to be hoped that the people will set their faces against the issue of bonds, or the increase of indebtedness which means increased taxation.
 ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
 It seems to the BELT that the pas sage of Graves bill will not work any injury to the taxpayers, if the ques ton of building court house is left to our Board of Supervisors. In view of the fact that the already audited indebtedness of this County is $21, ,534.- 45, it is fair enough to assume that the Board will not do anything that will add to it. The BELT expresses the feeling of the substantial taxpayers of Gila County when it says that no ad- dition must be made to the debt.

We join hands with the Tucson Git izen in deprecating any policy on the part of the legislature, calculated to prevent the development of means for internal communication by railroad in this Territory. The fixing off maxi mum rate, less than it is now, for freights and fares, would amount to a stoppage of the building of new roads, and make any of them dead weight to the stockholders. We cited case last week, wherein local rate was so much in excess ofa through rate, both starting from the same point, that it was a wicked discrimination, and in such matter either the legislature or the courts ought to interfere; but or dinarily the less work done in matters of that sort the better. Take the case of the Atlantic & Pacific road, and its whole local tariff from Albuquerque to the Needles, for good while, will be very small. Take the case of all the new roads, contemplated, and cut the rates and it will amount to prohibi- ton of their building. When no land grants can be obtained from the general government, and no subsidies from the Territorial one, all other means should be used to encourage capital to open up the country, and nothing done to frighten it away.

The Star is indignant at Wardwell of Cochise because he opposed the stealing of thousands of dollars to pay for newspapers, and coddles Hughes of Pima, because he wanted to make the bill heavier than it was two years ago. It cost the Territory $9657.80 to pay the bill of the last legislature for news papers alone; and we speak knowing ly when we say that not ten per cent. of the papers furnished were ever opened, and not five per cent. of them read. Mir. Wardwell is right.

Our voters are first apprised through
 the Arizona Citizen of the 16th, that Nr Grav.css v.cs-ihia ihias introduced a bill fixing tsse safary of e District Attorney of Gila County, but.gives no intimation as to what the salary will be if the bill becomes law. The salary, as it now stands is $40O, and S12O for office rent. The perquisites, however, make the office a sinecure, if the fees I$990) allowed by law and the District Court for special services during the last term is q criterion. AS these figures are too high, it is fair to infer that MT. Graves bill is in favor of the tax payers of the county, by getting a lib- eral reduction. These figures coald be lowered great deal if the rule ap- piled to New Mexico, governed here. We have a District Attorney and a District Court Clerk for each county, they have one for each district. We have nine to their three. Their sys- tenn is cheap and satisfactory, ours is expensive and not whit better.

The story of the abduction of Miss Garrison of St. Louis, and her reap pearance at home, has ungenerously loosened the tongue of scandal. The statement that she went voluntarily with her alleged abductors having gained currency, places the young lady in an unpleasant position. She, how ever, says she was chloroformed by her captors, and retained by force until her disappearance was made public. So far no arrests have been made, which gives warrant for the belief that she was not an unwilling prisoner; and as the public are prone to accept the worst phase of scandal, the latter version is seized with avidity. She ayers that the object in her detention was to obtain money from her family for her release, which is probably the correct version.

The Hearts Action.

As with each stroke the heart pro.
jects something like six ounces Of
blood into the conduits of the system,
and as it does so some seventy times
every minute and 4,200 times in an
hour, this implies that it dose the
same thing l00,S00 times in twenty
four hours, 30,000,000 times in year,
aud more than $500, 100000 times in
a life Of 10 years. The mechanical
force that is exerted at each stroke
amounts to pressure of thirteen
pounds upon the entire charge of
blood that has to be pressed onward
through the branching network Of yes
sells. According 10 the lowest estimate
that has been made, this gives an exer-
tion OF force that would be adequate,
in another form of application, to lit
100 tons one foot hi. her every twenty
four hours. Yet the piece of living
mechanism that is called upon to 10
this, and do it without a pause for
threescore years and ten, without
being itself worn out BY the effort, IS a
small bundle Of flesh that rarely
weighs more than eleven ounces. 1t
is in he nature of the case also, it muet
be remembered, that this little vital
machine cannot be at any tine stopped
for repair. If 1t g,ts out oil order 1t
must be set right as it runs. To stop
the beating Of the heart for more than
the brlefest interval would be TO
change life into death. The narratlv9 .
Of " hat medical science has done to
penetrate into the secrets of this lit le
delicate iorce-pump, so jealousy
guarded from the ntrus!oa Of the eye
that it cannot even be looked into
until its action has ceased, is, never.
theless, a long history of wonders.
