Gov. Tritle and the Arizona Central Railroad.

Gov. Tritle, accompanied by Frank M. Murphy, and MT. Barry, the lat ter civil engineer for the Arizona Central Railway, to run from Ash Fork to Prescott, arrived in town yesterday morning, for the purpose of conierring with the Aver Lumber Cc. in regard to furnishing lumber and ties for the building of the road The party came from Prescott to Ash For; on horse back, looking up route for the proposed railroad. In making the trip they came by the way of the new route through Chino valley, about fifteen miles from Banghart's place. The Governor considers the route a favorable one, but will return to Pres colt by the old stage route, crossing Hell's Canon. The latter route has been highly spoken of by experienced men, and the Governor desires to make thorough examination before deciding. Gov. Tritle will proceed to San Francisco soon, and lay before the monied centers of California the feasibility of the proposed road, and is confident he can enlist the proper parties in the enterprise. Prescott is reported as rapidly improving in pros pect of the new road, and the city is soon to have water works, electric light, a new city hall, etc. With the exception of a slight attack of rheum- atism our Governor IS in good health, and very confident as to the future prosperity of the Territory, and par tlcularly northern Arizona.

Local Political Notes.

Mr.. Tucker said in his address Friday
night to the Staunton audience, that he
was in favor of the unqualified abolition
of the Internal Revenue system.-This
fact alone, should secure his return
to Congress. The interference of tie ofli-
GERS Of this system in local and State pol
itics. the prostitution of the ir places in
the government for the purpose of carry
ing out partizan ends, and their disregard
of official position during canvass is
plain to the people wherever one Of these
political mills is located. Was there
ever people under the form of free
government, subjected to such system of
espionage and intermeddling in the exer-
else of their free will.
The ridiculous idea that Mr.. Tucker is
afraid to meet Y ost in the discussion of the
questions involved in the present contest.
is too absurd for any intelligent person to
listen to.
Mr.. Tucker will address the citizens of
the county tonight. at Mt. Sidney.
Messrs. Yost and W. e. Craig spoke
one night last week at Mt. Sidney, A
gentleman who was present says thai they
did the Democrats good service en- that
occasion. Last fall the Democrats re-
duced largely the Resdjuster majority at
Mt. Sidney, having brought it down from
60 to 20. The Democrats there want
Craig and Yost to come down again and
they will guarantee good majority the
other way.
A prominent Augusta Republican was
heard to say the other day that after this
election they would kick the "d--n Mig
gers'' out Of their party. They we re doing
the party more harm than good.

SHOOTING AT PORT REPUBLIC.-On
Sunday morning last, abous O'Clock,
Samuel Breeder, an employee of the Cri-
mora Manganese Works, in Augusta
county, was shot in the abdomen, at Port
Republic. in this county, by VIM. Bailey,
resident OF that place. The facts, as we
learn them. are about these: On Sunday
morning a number of the employees Of
Crimora, came down to Port Republic,
and it appears they were all more or less
in liquor. and were very bosterous, throw
ing rocks, and in other ways making
themselves unpleasant. In pursuance Of
their intention to "paint the town red"
they went to the house of VIM. Bailey,
who lives near the depot, and began
throwing rocks, which brought Bailey
out, whereupon they began to pelt him.
Returning to the house he got bis gun
and coming out fired at the ffst man he
saw, which seems to have been Samuel
Breeder. The gun was loaded with No. 2
shot, twenty of which took effect IN his
stomach. At last accounts Breeder was
still alive, but it is thought impossible for
him to recover. Breeden's companions
were bound over to keep the peace, and
Bailey was sent on to await the action of
the grand jury. Rockingham Register.

THE VIRGINIA MILITARY.-Adju tant-
General Mcdonald will soon issue an Or
der directing the various Virginia regi-
ments to prepare for the presence of Col.
S.earn, inspector general of the State
forces, about the 1st of October. AT that
time Col. Steam will be at Staunton and
inspect the second regiment, Col, Bum
gardner commanding. Later on the third
regiment, to which the Alexandria Light
Infantry belongs, will be visited.
This will necessitate trip by our Mill.
tary company to Stanton, which will DO
doubt be pleasant during the balmy days
of October. We suppose the inspection
will be had during the Baldwin Augusta
Fair buckingham Register.

THE FIRST CASES of specimen for the
New Orleans Exposition was brought in
last Saturday by Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss.
He collected them along the line of the
Richmond & Allegheny railroad, the r. Il
A. Company having furnished them with
special car for the purpose.
Maj. H. expects to go over every rail-
road in the State in the same way and
says be expects to secure good exhibit
from every county in the State. The city
council has furnished one of the large
front rooms in the Opera House for the
collection of these specimens and after
awhile this exhibit will be most enter
tanning and instructive one, and a pretty
good idea of portion of Vlrg inia's ex-
hibit at New Orleans may be had by a
visit to the collection before it is shipped
South.
Maj. Hotehkiss has commenced an In
structive and intefes!.ii'stss course of nalf-
hour lectures to the boys on mineralogy
&C., at his museum, if it may be so called
having given the first one day last week
after which he presented to each boy a
labelled specimen. He speaks also of Civ
ing similar short lectures to the grown
people. This ought to be and doubtless
will be appreciated by all interested.

young children.

A PROMISING YOUNG ARTIST.-In the
window of Wayt's Drug Store may be seen
an admirable crayon likeness of the late
Bowyer Miller, Esq a distinguished citl-
zen Of Botetourt, we'll known here, who
several years ago died at the residence OF
his daughter, Mrs. VIM. A. McCue, here.
The drawing IS the work OF Miss Lizzie
McCne. a young artist of decided talent,
the eldest daughter of the late Capt. VIM.
A. McCue, and is copied from a photo
graph of her grandfather. The young lady
wishes to receive orders for this sort of
work and the faithful likeness alluded to
will be sufficient evidence of her skill to
comply with any engagements she may
make

A NEW DRUG SToR E.-The store form
erly occupied by Mr.. c. l.. Weller, nearly
opposite the VINDIcAToR Office, is now
occupied by Mr.. b. f. Hughes as drug
store. Mr.. Hughes commenced business
few years ago on Main street, near the
Opera House, but found his old quarters
inadequate for the increasing demands of
his business. Since his removal, he has
added largely to his stock of drugs, medi-
c!nes, and fancy articles, and, in addi-
tion to his psinstaking and care, his bust
ness will be materially increased at his
new stand.

Business improvements.

Among the many improvements re-
Gently made in Stanton, there is none
more noticeable than the new furniture
warehouse of S. M. Wilks, Esq on Main
street. This building was constructed
under the special supervision of Mr.
Wilkes and is credit to the city. The
ground-four measures 1856 N6S feet, and
we may safely say is the largest establish
rnent of the kind ia the Valley The old
building has been rolled to the rear, while
the new one fronts the street. The large
front room is used exclusively for fine
sample furniture, while the stock is stored
away in another part of the building.
The second and third floors of the old
buildings are filled up with three Depart
ments, namely: The undertaking room,
the chair and table room, and the feather
ticking room.
The method with which everything is
arranged reminds one of wholesale
houses, only to be seen in large cities.
When such enterprise springs up at home
why should there be any use in our people
hunting out the emp0riums OF the North.
The second floor Of the front building is
occupied by Prof. j. G.. Dunsmore as his
Business College. This floor was especi-
ally fitted up for the purpose for which it
is used, with every facility and convent
ence for his students, and the successful
prosecution of their studies. Prof. Duns-
more 8 College has opened most auspici-
ously. He has already good number OF
pupils in attendance, and others are being
entered daily from various sections Of the
country, principally from the South and
West. To the visitor this is one Of tho
most interesting institutions of Staunton

A Republican Goes Back on the
Winked PARTY.

We print below a letter which was
shown Mr.. W. q. Weller the other day in
New York by gentleman, Republican.
who had received it from the Republican
State Committee. The gentleman told
Mr.. Weller that he had always been Re-
publican and had subscribed literally here
tofore to their campaign fund, but he
would not give cent to place in power
such man as his party had now for a
candidate.
The circular betrays the apprehenslons
the Republicans have of defeat, as well as
the straits theylare in for money. There are
so many rebelIious ones in their ranks that
they never needed as much money before,
and the of1ice-holders do not come to time
as they used to. They begin to think
their tenure of office very uncertain, and
want t0 save up for the rainy days ahead.
Here is the letter
STATE OF NEW YORK
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
GILsEY House, I
Army and Navy Building),
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. Goth, 1884.
DEAR SlR:-Tle State Committee finds
itself embarrassed for want OF funds with
which to defray the necessary expenses OF
the campaign. The cost Of preparing and
forwarding an adequate quantity OF cam
paign literature for six millions of people
and of supplying speakers for one hundred
and fifty TO two bundled meetings per
day is almost beyond calculation. Beyond
this is the still greater COST of canvasslng
and organizing the State and bringing out
the vote.
We cannot look to of1icehoders to meet
all this expense. We do not believe tle
masses of the party desire US to do SO. 70
you, as one believed to have pride in TIE
history and interest in the continued
ascenGancy of the Republican party, we
appeal for aid to carry Oh the campaign.
You are understood to be Interested in
UNFOLDING the Republican policy OF the
Government not ''for revenue only' Or
"public uses exclusively as the Demo
cratic party proposes, but sufficient to
protect, encourage and reward American
capital, enterprise and labor.
lf any one imagine the contest will not
be a severe one, he ismistaken. The Dem
ocratic party is desperately hungry for
place and spells and will hesitate at moth
ing to gain its end.
viii you not send US a contribution ac-
cOrding to your means and interest IN the
campaign, to the end that nothing need
go undone which should be done to enable
the Republican party, which has been
upon the right side of every great ques-
tion that has agitated our country for the
last thirty years, to triumph in another
national election.
Very truly yours,
JAMES D. WARREN,
Chairman.
