The Deming Headlight says: MT. P Ortiz arrived from Janos, Mexico, last aight, and from him individually we learn that the Indians made raid on Janos, village in old Mexico, and stole thirty head of cattle and seven
 head of horses. At San Miguel, lit tie town about thirty miles from Janos, they killed all the inhabitants. In addition to this, the Indians overlook pack train near the line of Old and New Mexico, which was owned by Urbano Seivier Consisting of sixteen animals), and demolished the entire outfit and killed several of the men. From the deputy collector of customs, J. M. Wilson, we learn that the two hundred head ofcattie owned by Ortiz, and which were stolen on the 26th day of February last at the ranch Casa de Janos, are the same cattle that Cap tain Davis refused to turn over to the deputy United States collector of cus- toms at Tombstone. The collector of customs at DShing now has re- quisition from the governor of Chihua- hua making demand for said cattle.

It is still fresh in the memory of most men that Arthur was removed from the position of collector of the port of New York, for meddling in politics, and Robertson appointed to the vacan,y because he was an ardent supporter of civil service reform. The pure and good Mir. Robertson now ap- pears as delegate to the Chicago Re- publican Convention, which shows him guilty of the same offense for which Arthur was removed

It is supposed that his object in visiting that city is to confer with the department of justice, and to explain the charges against the Corpus Christi collector, s. Iato. An effort is being made there to have Evans appointed chief justice of New Mexico, to suc- ceed Axtell, whose dismissal is looked upon as a foregone conclusion.

Congressman Belford is booming Grant for the presidency. Grant, per haps, was all right as general, but is too thick under the hat for civil ex- ecutive officer. The whisky ring, or what is left of it, would doubtless sup port him, not for himself alone, but for a prospective share of plunder that they would expect him to place within their reach. He did well by them and himself in the black Friday affair, as well as in their sour mash operations. It is quito time that Grant should sub- side as a party leader, and let honest men direct affairs of state. He is generally regarded, when compared with such men as Edmunds. Logan and Blaine. aS as d political nim- cnmpour.

Theoretically there is no liquor drunk in the state of Name. It is a prohibition state, and has been so for more than decade of years, but, not withstanding, Bangor the capital, has l3S bar rooms, or one for every 123 souls of it's population. Consequently the opportunities for getting drunk are not at all limited.

COPPER.

We notice an article in the Arizona Miner, speaking of the cost of Lake copper, and giving the average per centagc of the ore in four of the most notable Lake Superior mines, outside of the famous Calumet & Hecla, namely the Quincy, Franklin, Allouez and Atlantic mines, as one and four. tenths of one per cent of copper, or an average yield per ton of rock mined of twenty-eight and onc-half pounds of metal.
 Under these circumstances, the value of metal per ton of rock, taking metal at l5 cents per pound, is $4.50, while the average cost of mining, stamping, transporting and refining appears to be 12a cents per pound of metal, thus leaving a margin for profit nf24 cents per pound d asFl'ef. ?
 rLesc fake Superior mines require an immense and costly plant, com pared with which our Arizona copper mines dwindlc into insignifcance, and yet they manage to make it pay, not withstanding the very small amount of metal in the ore. But the work there is done not only on grand scale, but systematically and with fully and well opened mines, some of which have expended millions of dollars be- fore they became productive. It is we'll known, that the Calumet & Hec- la, which has to deal with five per cent ores, is the richest mine in the world and pays about two millions in dividends per annum, although hun drcds of thousands of dollars are an nually wasted on gigantic and some times useless machinery. We may well ask ourselves, what enormous p oft our Arizona mines, with their rich and beautiful ores, sho uld pay, were it not for the unsatisfactory troublesome and ridiculously expen- tive transportation; we may say first the want of commun:clt on, and next, when we have it, the scheming railroad combinations, which by one stroke of theirs can either support or kill whole industries of the country, by making themselves partners of every ones business, and dictating rates according to the scrambles amongst themselves, and according to what in their judgment, an article can stand.
 There can bc no doubt, that the inn meuse copper belt, which passes through great part of this territory. when once developed, will furnish more copper, than all the Lake Supe- rior mines, but this can and will never be done, until our railroad facilities are increased, and until the railroad companies are prevented from making discriminating and speculative rates. This territory, however, has not only an immensity of copper ores, but most valuable coal deposits, some of which could be easily connected with the mineral districts by railroads. With genial climate and sufficient agri- cultural resources, why should Arizo- ma not become prosperous mining country?

THE DARK uoRaE.-

The first national convention held
 in. the United States, convened in 1882 for the nomination of a candidate for vice president to succeed John c. Cal houn, who had quarrelled with Presi- dent Jackson, in consequence of a cabinet dispute over a social recogni- tion of Mrs. Eaton, nee Peg ONeil, the wife of the secretary of war, which
 resulted in Jackson cutting the Cor dian knot, by dismissing every mem- Der. Van Buren, the year previous, had been appointed minister to repre- resent the United States at the court of St. James, but through the influence of Calhoun, Clay and Webster, his ap- pointment was not affirmed, and upon his return to the United States he was put in nomination for the vice presi- dency, and elected by the convention referred to. It was then that the two thirds rule was first adopted, with q view of having the electoral votes of the states elect, and in that way main tain the federal system. That was the origin of the rule, and it has been adhered to in federal Democratic con ventions. The two-thirds rule gave rise to "the dark horse" and often re- suits in the political advancement of a {! comparatively unknown man, when the leading candidate has failed upon first ballot. 'Tis then the strength of candidates are revealed, and bar. gains begin for votes, generally with out results further than to sour part, zans who have striven for the success: of their candidates and, failing, con centrate upon previously unmen
 toned person, as was notably the cast in 1S44, when James K. Polk became the Democratic candidate. Another instance where dead lock prevailet was at Cincinnati, when Dougla
 withdrew as candidate upon being apprised that Buchanan had the ma jority, but could not poll two-thir' vote. Hence it may be said that hal Douglas maintained his position befor the convention, neither he or Buchanan could have been elected under the rule

ireland and the Rule.

So far as the merits of the two-third
rnle go they are not affected by the in
terests of aspirants, expectants or actual
candidates. The two-thirds rule is
either right or it IS wrong Jas matter
of principle, purely and only. There
is no sort OF question as to the value
of its services in the cause of harmony
and the preservation of the party in
the past. There are none so reckless
as to deny this, even those who see in
it a convenience to be adopted or laid
aside as the exegencies of personal
needs or interests of friends require
The pro-Ireland papers and men are for
the adjustment of the rule. They are
for mere majority nomination. The
reasons for their having that sort of
faith in them, are these: Having had
the state administration for two years
and not being idle, Mr.. Ireland has
used the time well, not in directing
the destinies of the state and winning
a denomination in that way, but in
perfecting the organization of his fac
ton in such way that without
doubt he win 60 into the Houston
convention with a simple majority
on the first ballot, and with the
rule prevailing, his

Butler at Chicago.

That the Massachusetts, statesman
was one of the prominent figures in the
Chicago tableaux, to which all eyes
have been turned tor the past few
days, is as indisputable as the bold,
demagogical, characteristic course
pursued by the widow" in front of
the political footlights. That Butler
should be member of democratic
convention at all, to say nothing of
his actually assuming the leadership
of one of the great factions at Chica-
go, would have been considered para
doxical few years ago. But it is
always the unexpected that is happen
ing, and Butler, from angling on the
outside of the democracy
for greenbackers and the
skirmishers and stragglers who hang
on the outskirts of the great parties
suddenly assumed the position of a
commander of one of the forces that
make up the Democratic party. In no
situation of his past lite-not even in
the great military scenes of twenty
years ago-has the real ability of the
man. no less than his hollow and
transparent demagoguery, been
more consplcuously displayed. Those
who have watched his course for the
last few days at Chicago from the
demonstration at the Palmer House
last Saturday night-to his speech be-
fore the convention Thursday night
be less amazed at the "cheek"
of one of the former sachems |

month after date an action was
brought on this document, but the
judge promptly ruled there was no
consideration and gave a verdict for

influenced by that. For even the
poets admit that there are "kisses and

whether yesterdays judgment was
meant to lay down general principle,
or whether every case must be decided
on its merits.
