Interesting Case.

A case of more than ordinary interest has just been decided in the Supreme Court of Virginia. A year ago the Virginia Legis- ture passed an Act declaring it unlawful for any Judge, Super> intendent of Schools, manager or employee of an sylum or of an State institution of learning, to electioneer, participate in politics, make political speeches or take an active part in political meetings. A violation of the law was made a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and forfeiture of office. A County Superintendent of Public Schools made political speech in Richmond last Fall, and under the law was indicted, tried and convicted. He appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the State. In an opinion just published the appellate Court holds the statute to be in violation of the constitu- tional provisions of the State, which guarantees freedom of speech to every citizen.

4 dispatch dated New V

A dispatch dated New York, March 2, says: A "Tri> bune" reporter in conversation with General Badeau a few days ago, Tn respect to a certain manu- script, General Grant said he want ed to use it immediately. General Badeau interrupted him and told him that it was unnecessary for him to continue any expression of his desires with respect to this particular place or manuscript, as he would undoubtedly be able to dispose of it himself at the proper time. Grant replied, without change of expression or a shadow of regret or fear upon his face, in his usual quiet tone of voice and business>like manner: "General, that may be what you think, but my impression is that I will not last thirty days" He then went on and continued the work of going through his papers without the slightest change in his de- meanor.

Mohawk Valley Canal Prof ect.

To answer an article which appeared in the Arizona Citizen" few days ago making inquiries of the residents of the Salt River Valley and of the Lower Gila country, about government land, and of irrigating canals, etc., the ARIZONA SEN TINEL has taken some pains to inform it. self in that regard. It has spared no time or effort to secure just such information us the Citizen seeks. We have in view now the Mohawk Valley lands and Mo- hawk Valley Irrigating Canal project:
 MOHAWK VALLEY
 Is portion of the Gila river valley situa- ted about 50 miles from the town of Yuma. It stretches along the north side of the river and is some thirty miles long, by an average width of three miles. On then oposite side of the Gila the Souther Paci. fife railroad runs across the Country.
 THE CHA RIVER
 Empties into the Colorado at Yuma. It carries, at all seasons of the year heavy volume of water, 200 feet in width and has fall at this point of four feet to the mile. The water is of superior quality for purposes of irrigation and constantly enriches the soil by alluvial deposits. LAND.
 The Mohawk valley contains more than ninety square miles of land of which. fully fifty square miles of it can be irriga- ted. The Government has surveyed the land and is subject to pre-emption, homestead and desert land claims. The soil consists of deep allaYial depositc

According to the Territorial Treasurer's report, Yuma county has paid into the General Fund of the Territory during the years 1883 and 1884, the sum of S5,4lO; into the Prison Sinking Fund, S31.38 into the Territorial School Fund, s2,251. .46; into the Inter- est Fund, S2,97O.21; total amount paid into the Territorial Treasury, $10,663.65.

and has been demonstrated to be unsur- passed in productlveness.
 THE CLIMATE
 Is all that could be disired It is adop- ted to the raising of all cereals, sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, and all semi tro- pcal fruits, such as orange, lemons etc. It is also especially adapted to the growth Of peaches, grapes and other fruits as hown by actual and present results. Wheat and barley grow lux uriantly. It is as healthy a climate as there is in the world.
 THE WATER RIGHT,
 Accompany of gentleman have secured, under the laws of Arizona, water right which holds the key to the water supply of the valley. for agricultural purposes. They hold canal head and adjoining land at Texas Hill where the waters of the Gila river are confined and where lies the only point from whence the land of the Mohawk Valley can be irrigated. From this point water enough can be taken out all the year round to irrigate three times the amount of land contained in the Mohawk valley.
 THE PROJECT.
 The gentlemen owning this water right are residents of Arizona. They also own a small portion of the land of the Mohawk Valley. They propose as soon as all of the surveys are finished, to form Joint Stock Canal Company. Each share of stock to represent a stated amount of water. They will then devote the stock to raising capital sufficient to build the ditch, retaining only enough to furnish water sufficient to irrigate seven sections of land. The length of the canal will be 24 miles, and 20 feet wide on the bottom with a grade of two feet to the mile. The water comes to the surface so as to com mence irrigating the land three miles from the Head-Gate which is located in rock and between two hills, being one of the best locations for Head-Gate 10 a canal on the Gila river.
 MARKET.
 The Southern Pacific railroad which tra- verses the Gila valley on the opposite side of the river, insures a ready market for all products in the various towns in Arizona, New Mexico and, by means of the Mexican Central railroad, in Sonora Mexico.
 MISCELLANEOUS.
 Several similar schemes are being origin ated and are in operation along the Gila valley-one near Gila Bend, G. W. Cam eron is taking out ditch at Sentinel, z. l., Tidball, United States Marshal has a ditch out opposite the Mohawk Valley and is raising large crops of wheat barley and beans. The Fields brothers and a company of settlers are taking out ditch at old Antelope station which will reclaim large tract of land,
 We will say, in conclusion, that if any one wishes any information respecting the above project ard lands they will please communicate with Geo. ". Nor ton, c. E., Yuma, Arizona.

Territorial Finances.

 rItorial Treasurer to the Governor of Arizona, for the years 1883 and 1884, has been placed upon our desk with the compliments of T. j. Butler, the Treasurer. The Report is exhaustive, and minu- tely gives the transactions of that office-shoWing receipts, ,expendi- lures. moneys on hand, and the condition of the various funds of the Territory on the 31st day of December, 1884. According to the said report the bonded indebted ness amounts in the aggregate to $35O, 1000, S9O,O00 of which was in> cured prior to 1883 and bears ten per cent. interest, payable an- nually, and amounting to 5000. Under the Funding Act of 1883 S260,000 in bonds were issued, bearing interest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, amounting to S18,200, making the annual interest on bonds, in the az gregate, S27,2OO. Practically, the report says, this constitutes the entire indebtedness of the Territory and funds yet to arrive for account of the past year. will about pay all outstanding war rants on the General Fund, drawn previous to this date, December 31, 1884.
 The Funding Act, No. S4, of 1883 provides, further, for the issuance of bonds bearing per cent, interest, with payment at maturity, amply secured, in lieu of the $9O,00O in bonds above mentioned for the final payment of which no provision has been made.
 None of these old bonds amount ing to $9O,000, have been surren- dered, consequently no new ones have been issued, and the interest fund, of five cents on the $100 worth of taxaple property, has been collected and transferred to the General Fund as the Statute provides. The Treasurer, at the date of his report, estimated, un- der then existing resources and probable expenditures, difician~ cy for the next two years, of from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars, unless some legislation was had to prevent it.
 After referring to other mat ters of little, or no, vital lmpor> tance, the Treasurer suggests that as the labors and responsibilities of that officer have increased materially during the past two years, that his remuneration should be increased proportions ately.
 The following tabulated state~ ment appears in the report:
