CONGRESS-, on Wednesday, undertook to give the territories slap in the face. It seems that some of the territories are getting too ambitious for some of the Democratic Congressman, and in order to teach us heathens in the territories that We don't amount to much, an Rt- tempt was made to pass bill Tn the house providing that hereafter no terri tory shall form 6 constitution or apply for admission as a State into the Union until it shall contain a permanent popu- latiCn equal to that required in q con- gressiOnal district III order to entitle 1t to representation in the house. It was discussed with considerable interest and heat for a short time, when 1t was laid on the table by vote of l09 to l5, and it is likely to lay there. Cox, the Demo- cratic champion of New York, said the reason he favored the bill was that it would put restriction OF the right of popular or squatter sovereignty, and kasson said the blll was in violation of the spirit of the constitution in that II denied the people of the territorles the right of petition in its highest form. Ii is our opinion the bill will continue to lay on the table

A WASHINGTON dispatch says, m speak ing of the action of the Senate on the Indian appropriation bill: Another committee amendment approprlates S25,0OO with which to purchase property in Keams canon, Arizona, for an Indian industrial school. Senator German of- fered an amendment sppropriatIng S5,0O0 to pay commission to visit the White Mountain Indian reservation Tn Arizona and report on what shall be done with coal fields located thereon. Some opposition was made to this by Morgan, out a sufficient number of Sen ators advocated it to secure its passage. These coal fields, which are very valua- ble, were located some years ago by miners, who were subsequently, driven off them because they were discovered to be on the reservation. Speculstors are now at work here to obtain lease of the lands for the alleged benefit of tn Indians. John J. Safely. of Arizona, IS leading the van, with w. w Eelknap, Grants Secretary of War, and William son, x-Commissioner General of the Land Office, as his attorneys. It is ex. pected the commission will report in ia. vor of the lease and that the poor To. cators are not entitled to the lands"

WELL, since 1t has been taken up by the Epitaph, we will have to acknowl- edge the corn and say that we did change the telegram concerning the feeling towards MT. Hughes in Tomb stone upon the receipt of the news that Hughes had tied Oury and Meade for delegate to the Chicago convention. It did read that the news was received there with disgust and indignation" We substituted the word surprise" as the language sounded too strong. Of course We did it out of consideration for Mir. Hughes feelings, but We fear, from what has occurred since. thGt our good inten- tions were thrown away.

THE people of Tombstone are settling
 down to a more quiet state. They have
 had enough to shake them from center
 to circumference, and We admire the
 way they have conducted themselves and the good results that have followed.
 In critical times a man is proven what he is worth to a community. The shut ting down of the mines threw between 300 and 400 men out of employment. There was then strife between mine owner and miner, which produced con- siderable excitement. The superintend- ents left the city temporarily and the aoitation subsided. The miners all through behaved admirably, and the words spoken by MT. Stevens, their president. showed that he was the right man in the right place; then came the failure of Hudson X Go. This was cal culated to throw society into a stil "warmer atmosphere"-msny Of th' miners are now out of money as well a; employment. Again they showed then
 good sense and proved their good citl zenship. There was no trouble; n' yiolence, and there will be none. Then indignation, when accused of ;ncendiar ism. caused meeting of the union, ana strong denunciatory resolutions wer' passed against those who started tn report. The Star came in for it's share

 Irls gratifying to know and to state that business generally has been very far during the week now closing. By .he failure Of Hudson < O., it was SUD- g5~el that there would be stringency ia the money market that would be felt almost to the last degree, and that other failures would fellow; but it gives us pleasure 10 say, and We pretend to know. that there Is not Q shadow or a sl-q of other failures, and that business stunning $ about as usual. There is, of course. a tightness of money, but not to such an ex;eat as to do any material damage People are cheerful and take their loss philoSophicslly;those who have been active in meetings held for the plrpese of finding out how matters stood and to assist III providing against further loss. are calm in their delibera- t.oss and disposed to do what is right If thls spirit continues. with the condi- t.oa of affairs as it now appears, there can be DO trouble in any direction.

SAYS the New York Mining Record: 'For our part, as once before We had oc- casion to say, We thiaG the time has come when the governor of every terri tory that may have been organized for a period of four years should be elected by the people of such territories. There can b. no rational objection to such a course that will not apply with equal force to the election of the members of the territorial legislatures. There is no reason why the people of Washington territory and of Dakota and New Mexico, of Montana and Arizona, nay, even of Utah, should be excluded from the car dinal American right of choosing their chief executive; no. one reason that would not apply substantially as well 10 the people of the several states"

WHEN tue fsilnrs uf Hudson x Go. was aunouncei. many people expressed fear that there would be heavy run on the First National Bank of this city, and the question was: How would 1t stand the run?" During the day there was a good deal of excitement. The run was was Tot made. The bank did not feel the slightest shake. Ire fact that there was no run was complimentary to the institution and its sound financial con dition, and il gives us pleasure to make such an announcement. They were fully prepared for any emergency. Business has not lacked ready cash since the fail ure. All who asked for accommodations with acceptable security got it. The bank is careful in its dealings and they strictly adhere to the usual banking laws. Mir. Jacobs, the cashier, is thor ough banker, gen;lemanly, and courte- ous in all his dealings.

Ore m Small Lots.

Niue owners who will read the sdyer- tisement of the First National bank of Prescott. will see that the concern offers to ship ores and make advances at the rate of SJ per. cent of the value of all metals that may be carried by any ore. Mir. F. W. Blake, an assayer Ot thirty years practice, started thIs ore shipping business q few years ago. He has shipped for the DOsoris, Silver Belt, Pine Spring and other mining companies, all ot whom are satisfied with the way in which he has transacted business for them. He IS now member of the bank ing firm spoken of and gIves this ore shipping business more attention than formerly, for the reason that he has more time to attend to It. Rates Of all general smelters within thousands of miles of Prescott are recorded Tn hls office; SO, also, figures for transporting ore, by wagon or car. It you bring him a ton, three or four tons of ore. he will have it sampled, make advances, If requested to do SO, and send it to the smelter that makes the best bid for the class of ore to which ycur shipment may belong. For this laJor, also that of writing letters to smelting men, railroad men and others, his terms are. we hear, very reasonable In the absence of general reduction works, owners of mines whose ores will "pay to ship" as the saying goes, car help themselves and other people tC develop their mines and drive dull care away by mining and shipping ores. Sll
 yer ore that will pay 52 ounces to tho ton, and which viii not cost over SlO | ton to take 1t from the mine, will pay profit. There IS, there must be, pleni, ! of richer ore in this vicinity, vhlcl ought to be blasted out and sold. Bet

HE Tucson Cannon Ball Milling aud Relgctilu Works, as 1t is now named, are, We learn, in e fair way to cone io something The energy and determina- tioD Of the gentlemen at its head ought 10 make a success of it, and 1t IS now believed it will. They are orssuized and ;he company ofiicered; certificates o' stock have been printed and the money will be asked for at one, or at least aa assessment will be made, and then work will move right along. It will be a grand good thing for legitimate mining. and will do more to encourage such mining than anything that can be done There are other plans better, per hap-, bat they are beyond the means of those interested. This plan Is be ginning and 1t cannot fail, unless the ore fails, and va do not entertain that idea. So, gentlemen, push the mill along as fast as practicable.
