THE Hon. DeForest Porter's rall-
 road bill provides for the Board of Supervisors issuing bonds to the
 amount of S25O ,OOO bearing per cent. interest, to be given to the Phoenix and Maricopa railroad cons pany without the voice of the people in the matter. We have no obiec- tioDs to the amount The interest payable on that amount would be but S4 cents on the hundred dollars if there were no more property n the valley than there was last year, and the thirty years which the bonds have to run would make the whole
 thing but mere bagatelle compared with the property assessed by the time the bonds are payable and two years from the tine the railroad is built the interest would never be noticeable in our taxes There gre two or three things we should like to see changed in the bill, however, and one IS that the bonds be issued on vote of the people; another is that they might be issued to any company offering the people of the | valley best terms for issuance of the l bonds and the greatest protection te | our freighting interests. We believe such a bill would receive the vote of | every man in the county.

REPORTS from Prescott indicate

REPORTS from Prescott indicate that things are growing red-hot Tn the legislative fires. M oreover, we are informed by a gentleman who arrived from that place this morn- Ing that Phoenix has a man up there opposing the Insane Asylum bill, Phoenix has not sent mar .here for that or any other purpose. If there is such a man there he represents himself and nobody else; and if through his presentation Yavapai men oppose the Insane Asylum for Phenix let them ask for hls creden- tiAls before they go farther.

THE attack which the Gazette made upon the Hon. DeForest Por> ter in the insinuation that he is to reap special benefits for getting through the railroad bill which he has introduced, is most indecent and weak. It savers of a spirit which is too corrupt to see anything but cor~ ruption in everyone.

THIS valley ought to offer quar- ter section of land for a location for an Insane Asylum. Land is plenty and cheap and almost anywhere within five miles of town could be found an available and good piece of farming land winch is or could be brought under water and cultivated for the support Of the Asylum. Let some one who has claim and is willing to dispose of 1t reasonably come 10 the front, especially if he has Other land in the valley the value of whsch he would increase.

YAvAPAI seems to be determined that Maricopa shall have nothing from the present legislature and apparently goes it on the principle that "Maricepa is down and d-n her we'll keep her dswn." The fact is the people of Maricopa are in- clined to be concillatory in matters wherein the two counties might con- f1ict; but, should the spirit of antag- onism be once fairly aroused as it is likely to be by the attitude the mother county assumes, the result will probably be that neither county will secure anything beneficial. A spirit of liberal compromise IS the only proper course to pursue.

FOR this valley to hope for local railroad nolthward to any point on the A. and P., by way of Prescott or otherwise, is out of the question Two millions of dollars, or $10,000 per mile. would not complete that road, to say nothing of the cost of rolling stock and maintenance, and when the cars were rolling, one loaded freight tram in three months would carry all the freight into and out of the entire section of country through which it would pass that would be used or produced. It will never pay a local road to build through 200 miles of barren
 mountainous country, and no sane company will ever attempt it. Even if the people would build that road they could not find a company that
 would take it and agree to keep it up and pay taxes upon 1t. It is useless for us to think of a road in that direction and utter nonsense to spend tune, wind or money in advo> eating It. We must lock for an out, let in some other direction and the sooner we recognize this fact and set to work to build road to Benson or Tucson via Florence, or line to the $. P. the sooner we will have road that will do some good.

 BEECHER's OPINION.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 5-Henry Ward Beecher in a conversation regarding the outlook of Cleveland's adminis> tration said that he thought that the President elect had shown very good sense in summoning g the party leaders to confer with him and thus familiarize hImself with the situa- tion he had to confront. He thought the new administration would show enough determination to meet the great question pending before the country, and that Tn his effort at re- form, Cleveland would be sustained by the best clements of both parties, though he may have given offense to the office seekers. As to the cab inet, Beecher was of the opinion that Bayard would probably be Secretary of State, and thought no other selec- ton could be made with more satis> faction to the country at large.
