What they Think of Us.

A delegate to one of the recent conventions held here, writes thus of Phoenix and our valley to the Mohave Mtner::
 The morning of the day cf the convention came, clear bright and cool, and as 1 walked under shade of tine huge cottonwoods, I guzed almost in wonder (evcn after seeing Los Angeles) at the wealth of flowers, the magnificent fruits, and the wide expanse of alfalfa ficl,is. To say that Salt Riv,r valley is Ihe gnrd.n spot Of Arzena, does not i:aif ex- press its beauty snd boIndless p;os- poets. The people need railroad badly, in fact il has become an ab- soluIe necessity. 4 railroad from the city to M Mtlcopa station on the S P. would make her a Phoenix indeed, for ske would rise O the wings of pros perity out of the ashes of her present gloom Of disappnnt- ments. In the carly days of Cali, fornia her miners laughed at the idea of her eyer succeeding as an agricultural State, but to-day the folly If the laugh is co apparent to be denied. So it will be with Arizona, 10 matter how her mining interests may turn out, she will eventually have tn depeDd upon her agricultural and grazing interests is her principal sustaining Industry.

The New Bank.

A new bank is shortly to be open ed in this city by MT. D. Henderson under the particular protection and hearty co-operati, Il Of the Anglo> California Bank limited, with MT. c. R. Drake as cashier. MT. Hen- derson is a man of large financial experience as a business man in whom tic pnblic may have uBshak- en faith and confidence. It is a well known and trite saying that none of the Henderson family were ever known 10 fail or compromise their indebtedness for less than dol lar for dollar. The stability of the new bank can therefore never be questioned. His efforts in co-epera- tieH with the Anglo- California bank will aid in the revival of business and bring new prosperity to our old town. MT. Drake is likewise well known as a shrewd and sagacious busino ss man in whom the people of this city have tue fullest faitb.- Star.

A TELEGRAM from MT. H . c. Los gan, General Agent of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio and Southern Pacific railroads, to MT A Leonard Meyer, of thIs place, in- forms us that MT. Logan's visit here few days since will result in some little benefit for us. He found that wheat and flour would be our prin- cipsl export, and that our principal competitors in the market to the sou .heast of us in the Territory are Colorado and Kansas, owing to the cheap rates those States obtain for theIr grain and flour westward. He has therefore advanced wheat and flour 15c per hundred fIem Deming to points west, which will have q tendency to send buyers in this di- rcctiun.

By Inc above it will be seen that on three different occasions Ohio has reversed her majority on presi- deutiaI years, viz. in 1860, 1876 and 1880. On two Of these occasions, 1870 and 1880, the State election went Democratic and the prcsidan- tial election Republican and on one occasion, 1876, the State election was reversed by the Democrats.
 From 1856 to 1880 Ohio has been carried but three times by he Dem, ocrals, and on two of these occasions the majorities were in the State elections and were reversed by the Republicans at the presidential election.
 In 1883 Governor Hoadley was elected by the Democrats by about 12,OOo majority, a majority less by 1000 than that by which they car- ried the State election i'll 1880, and N nhIcRwas reversed by he Repub> lioans and 34,OOO piled on top of it.
 With her great manufacturing in- tercsts of today menaced by the pol- icy of the Democratic party, the lo- cal issues which on three or four occasions gave that state to the Democl ats will entirely disappear, and Ohio will continue U maintain her position among the first of Re publican States. and we believe she VIII resume that place with q Re publican majority as great as that of 1864. Viva la Buckeye.

MAJORITY REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Ger. 1.-The major fly reporj of thc Springer committee CT the Unite States MarshaIs' ac~ count is made public. II is signed hy the mocratic members of the committee, and says: "A stream Dever rises above it's source, and as long as those who possess the power of appointing these officials have no app eciation of the true dignity of the public service and regard offices only as rewards to be bestowed upon their most interruptions political al- lies, there IS not much reason to hope foi any great Improvement in the character of our appointed officers
 The testimony before the committee clearly shows that utter inefficiency and criminal practices have prevail, ed in many parts of this branch of the pubic service for many years past, and that the govern ment has been heavy loser thereby. There is a sameness, as also a variety
 in the testimony. The investigation reveals the wonderful unanimity with winch these officers of almost every grade, and in several parts of the country, have plundered the pubs lie treasury by false, fraudulent and fictitious charges, and yet the varies " il, ways and means by which they have worked thcIr schemes, is equally curious and shows that they have taxed their ingenuity to the ut most to find modes of accomplishing one unhallowed, purpose, getting | money they were not entitled to.
