American Nationalities.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 An anonymous correspondent takes the Tribune to task for using the phrase "Celto-Saxon" as applied to the inhabitants of this country. He claims that the people of Celtic blood are comparatively few in numbers and consist of the Catholic Irish, who have come to this country since the Irish potato-famine of forty years ago; whereas, he claims that the great mass of the American popu- lation are the descendants of the English Saxons and have no Celtic blood in their veins.
 As other persons may possibly share the erroneous opinions of the writer, we may briefly state the reasons for the use of the term Celto-Saxon. In the first half-cen- tury of our American history there was considerable emigration of English of Saxon blood, who in religion wore Independents or Congregationalist and who settled in New England; Of Episcopalian English who settled in New York; and of Quakers, who made their way into Pennsylvania. From the year 100, however, the persecution of Irish Presbyterians

A EDDIE man writes to the San Francisco Bulletin, to call atten- ton to some of the curiosities of tae mining law as follows: ''The mining law says that a claim on which Sl00 has not been expended during the year is jumpable or can bs relocated. Now under this law parties formely went on the ground to relocate after F P. NJ. December 3lst. That was good in law and practice for while. But subse- quently a Secratary or Judge de- cided that a relocation must be made in working hours,' which was understood to moan ' o'clock A. NJ, January 1st. Now the present Secretary of the Interior, if I understand right, has decided that January 1st Is a legal holiday. The question now is. When is the time to relocate an abandoned claim!"

SOME time ago the CLARION

SOME time ago the CLARION published an item Tn reguard to a movement being inaugurated among the large ranchers in Southern California looking to the discharge of their Chinese laborers and the filling of their places by colored men imported from the Southern States. E. J. Baldwin, of Los Angeles county, has gone ahead in this matter, and has just completed thirty-two houses for the thirty-two negro frmilies that will soon arrive from Tennessee. The buildings are erected after the plan of the negro homes in the South, and present quite an attractive appearance. This colo ny of negro laborers will trke the place of the Mongolians hereto fore employed there.

A RESOLUTION, was introduced in the Assembly, several days since, complimentary to Governor Tritle, and the President-elect was re- quested to retain him as Chief Ex ecutive of Arizona until the expi- ration of the term for which he was appointed, winch will be next February. It was regarded as a partisan measure and indefinitely postponed. We think the action of the majority of the Assembly was premature, and consequently to be regretted. If a vote of the Territory was taken on the resolu tion and a free expression of pub lie sentiment had, it would be car ried by large majority; although Arizona is Democratic. In view of his eminent and valuable ser vices Tn behalf of the Territory, his zeal in the promotion of every material industry, as set forth in his reports to the Interior Depart ment and messages to the Legisla- tive Assembly, it is meet aud prop CT that the complimentary resolu- ton should have been adopted. He is acknowledged, by all candid parties, to be worthy of the high official position he holds, and to retain him therein until relieved, by operation of law, would be a graceful act on the part of the in coming administration.

TIE President-e!ect seems to b

THE President elect seems to be in state of uncertainty and per plexity about the formation of his Cabinet. He is in daily consulta ton with the leading men of his party, upon the issues of the day, and yet his reticence is such that even his most intimate friends and counsellors are not advised fully as to his intentions, or to whom he will extend the honor of being members of his political family. It seeuis no longer to be a secret that he is opposed to the further coinage of silver. The whole country looks forward with intense interest to his forthcoming inaugural address.

So FAR as Superior Judge Sul- l1van is concerned, the last act in the famous Sharon case has been played and the learned judge, doubtless to his great gratifica- ton, is relieved of further respon- sibility in the premises, unless a new trial shall be granted. The findings of fact and the form of decree in the cause celebre of Sarah Althea Hill versus Wm. Sharon, have been settled and signed. Sarah Althea has been judicially decreed to have been the wife of the Ex-Senator, and on the ground of his desertion, she has been granted an absolute di vorce, and allowing, during itiga gation, to the amount of S2, 300 for each month since application for the same, until the final adjudica tion of the case in the court of last resort. The allimony allowed is said to be the largest ever granted in this country, and the poor girl, If economical, can live comfortable on that sum. For counsel fees, S55,000, was ordered paid, which is to be apportioned among the retinue of attorneys the senior counsel, Tyler, to re- ceive S20,000. But the end is not yet, and it will be long before we hear the last of the case. The parties litigant have case pend ing in the United States Circuit Court, and George Washington Tyler IS under indictment for ob- taining S25,000 from Gen. Barnes, sen1or counsel for defendant, by false pretenses.

The Clarion Auorosizes.

The voters of Graham county owe an apology, and we hereby extend it, to the whole people of Arizona, and especially to the Leg islative Assembly, for their unfor tunate action ln sending the so- called W. c. Bridwell to the Ter ritorial capital as a law maker. If we had but known few months since that of which we are now assured, the fair county of Gra- ham would not be misrcpresented in the Legislative Assembly by a reereant discharged soldier, man with no regard for his own pledge, or for the feelings of friends, whom he requested to give assur- ances on his behalf previous to the election last fall. But it is now too late to undo that which has been done, and to the end of the present session the man of many aliases will continue to misrepre sent us. Being an illiterate and ignorant person, and not able to cope either in wit or learning with the gentlemen in whose company he finds himself, this man seeks distinction in other than the usual methods of a legislator. His gigantic intellect can see but one course open to him, and he follows his natural bent and becomes a bully. Some weeks ago he at- tackled MT. Arnolds, an esteemed citizen of this county, and that he is pressing on in his glorious ca reer, is proven by our Prescott dispatches, in this issue, he having on Monday last attacked the CHA IRONS Prescott correspondent, Mir. J. T. Fitzgerald, on account of some criticisms of his course ap- bearing in our columns. This pa per has criticized his acts and we have denounced his course; we have judged of him leniently, knowing him to be but clay in the potter's hands-a simple tool to be used by a man, or set of men, to accomplish their ends. The CLARION can truly say that 1t has not made any allegation, either through its correspondence col umn or editorially, that it would retract or that cannot be substan- tated.

MICHAEL BANNoN, Esq. who was sent out to this Territory by the Interior Department last Septem- ber to examine and report upon the Deer Creek coal fields, recently submitted his report to that De- partment, and it will not have tendency to help the devoutly to be wished project of the segrega ton of these coal fields, eith CT. He declares that he found only a smell" of coal, whatever he means by that. He furthermore states that the leading feature of the coun- try is copper, ,and one could without much stretch of his imagination, believe that Mir. Bannon's real object in visiting Arizona was to make Q report in favor of a certain copper company. Certainly it was not to help the original locators of the coal fields, who are poor men, to secure their rights.

A BILL was introduced in the Territorial Assembly, by General Wardwell, of Cochise, to bestow the right of suffrage upon the women of this Territory. It was reported on favorably and ably debated in Committee of the Whole by the best SD eakers of the House, but came to its death as it should have done. It might have been passed but for the strong anti Mormon sentiment prevailing in this Territory. If women were permitted to vote every Mormon woman, and the wife of every polygamist, would be at the polls ou election day, while monogram ous wives, excepting on some unu- sual occas;cn, would refrain from avai!in3 themselves of the fran chise.

Ir costs the copper companies whose mines are in the vicinity of Butte, Montana, nine cents per pound to lay down copper in the New York market, and as there is no money for them to produce copper at the present price, an agreement has about been con summated whereby all the smell ters will be closed down.

Mss EVA MAcKEY, the step daughter of John w. Mackey, a former Nevada miner, but now a man of millions, was recently married in Paris to an Italian Prince, in a style which would have done honor to royalty. The marriage ceremony was performed by a Cardinal, and the entertain ment which followed is said to have surpassed in splendor and extravaganza any private event of similar character, which has taken place for many years. The plain, guileless girl, of the Sagebrush State, is now a Princess, and her noble lord, (doubtless impecuni- ous), can live in luxury on the marriage portion of his bride, taken from the depths of the Com
 stock lode by honest toll. Her aunt, Miss Hungerford, married an Italian Count. Miss Nellie Grant chose for her husband an obscure Englishman, and Miss Clara, the daughter of ex-Senator Sharon, married an English noble man and became Lady Hesketh, by virtue of her fathers millions; and thus it is that the daughters of the Republic leave us-those

ico is not the universal civilizer that it is in the States, and that the country adjacent N the railway is not going to be settled up and a wilderness converted into a garden in one generation, as is the gener- al rule with our railways. The country will undoubtedly improve, but it will be slow.
 I have been told by persons who have visited the City of Mexico, go- ing via the Mexican Central rail road, that it is no uncommon thing to see the natives driving their burros fifty and one hundred miles to the city, loaded with their corn, beans and provisions for sale, and right along side of the rail way track. Their whole outfit, burros and all, could be picked up and carried to their destination in one-tenth the tune it takes them to go-but time is thing that never enters into their calculations. It makes not the slightest difference to them whether they arrive to- morrow, or a week from to-mor- row. It is the same way with the attempts to introduce machinery for saving labor. They will have none of them. They are welded to their old customs and are sat isfed.
 To return to our own Mexican population-while I do not wish to make comparison-it seems to me that they should not be such object of reproach and detesta- tion as they are held by most of the Americans to be, especially when we see the life and conduct of many of the Americans in Ari- zona. They are lazy and shiftless, but they are also kind-hearted, hospitable and charitable. They help one another in their difficult ties more than we do, and if one Mexican is broke, he has little diff culty in borrowing from a friend, even though that friend may have but little and a large family to support. Of their morals, the least said the better: Their social re- lationships are decidedly mixed; but, are ours any better? I mean, have we shown much better ex ample in our intercourse with them7 I think not. We have fallen into the customs of the country with remarkable rapidity, not to say zeal. Their conversa- tion abounds with explosives and profanity that are untranslatible into English, and it is well that is so since, in this, also, those Americans who have learned the language, at least many of them, are as adept in it's use as the na- tive. What I wish to make is a plea for the Mexican. That we show him a little more considera- tion, and place him, at least in our opinions, more on a par with ourselves. That we, in our inter course with them, remember cleo ton day, and act accordingly.

by the Church of England to make them conform to the forms and dogmas of that church, induced an immense emigration from Ulster mostly between ITO and 1750-in which at least 5O,OOO families, en- bracing at least quarter of million of souls, crossed the ocean and settled all along the Atlantic between Boston and Charleston. Their de- scendants and accessions from Ulster and Scotland constitute the Pres byterian Church in the United States today, as well as part of the Independents or Congregationalists and many Methodists. Pennsylvania is full of them, and so are Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ken lucky, and Tennessee, and they are scattered all over the South. After the American Revolution Protestant Irish and Scotch emigration again poured also into Pennsylvania, filling the western parts of the State, and spread thence into Eastern Ohio in large numbers. This Protestant Irish and Scotch-Celtic emigration has been going on for 1s0 years. The Irish Catholic emigration, which is also Celt, did not commence in large numbers until about forty years ago, after the potato-famine. But since then they have poured into this country by millions. The cores pondent who writes us makes the radical error of supposing that Celts embrace only Roman Catholics. Speaking of England, the pop ulation might be strictly called Celto- Saxon, for perhaps one-third of the inhabitants are of Celtic blood, while all Scotland and Ireland are Celts. Great Britain, therefore, is Celto- Saxon, and their descendants and relations in this country are also Celto-Saxon, and nothing else. But we have an immense Teutonic ele- ment in this country-people of German and Scandinavian blood and extraction. Then we have seven millions of Africans, and fully million of Sclavonic blood, and a sprinkling of French, Italian, and Spanish races. This country is, therefore, Celto-Saxon- -Teuton-Afri- can, if we are to measure words. The total population of this country is 56,000, ,000, divided about as fol- lows: German Teutons, 1000, 900; Scandinavian Teutons, 1000, ,0OO; Africans, 100000; sclaves and miscellaneous nationalities, 1000, ,OOO; making 16, ,OOo,O 1000. Of the remain ing 4O,OOO,O 900 there are perhaps 25,- 900, 900 Saxon-English and 15,OO0, ,OOO of Irish, Scotch, and English Celts. In other words, the Celts and Saxons comprise two-thirds of the entire population, and next to the Saxon the Celt is most numerous.
