The Fargo Argus Bismarck correspon

The Fargo Argus Bismarck correspon.
pondent is alarmed. He writes:
The council bill providing for the
south Dakota state convention has pass
ed the house. This bill provides thai
the expenses Of the delegates from
counties south of the forty-s sixth paral
lei to the Sioux Falls convention shall
be paid by the territorial treasurer, and
contains q section that the SAID conven,
tion shall authorize the counties soutl
of the forty-sixth parallel to levy ia,
to reimburse the territorial treasurer. A
has been claimed by the Argus from tn
first, this is mere subterfuge, aud the,
are really compelling the whole territory
to foot the bills for the state convention
for south Dakota, as the convention has
no authority to authorize counties tc
levy taxes. If the people of the territory
tamely submit to this species Of trickery
it is their own fault.

The star ot sunday in ia leader cn .hr late contested clecton eEsr. eNhisst ea its native characteristics even moro than usual.
 The Aniaus ot the star aud iIa hacLVrs Is easily accounted fcr. lhrHr men know that the shrriflS' office in ihis county has never been so well conducted ss for ihc last four ycais under Mr. Paurs administration. The objection to Mir. Paul Is not that he has not per formed his duty. lt originated before he entered upon the duties ot his office four years ago. When Mir. paul unearth- eI the infamous frauds that we're per pertrated by those "seli-righteous" ! democrats four years ago at San Simon, Tomstone and Tres Alamos, anl proved 10 the world that he and not Shibeil was elected sheriff of Pima county. he in- cured the wrath of these pure minded | and honorable men, and they never have, | and never will forget or forgive Linn Tor ! exposing theIr Tottenness and corrup- | tlon.
 And now that Mr. Paul has again ex- | posed them: no wonder they howl San Simon with Its lu3 sohd democratic votes to one republican, at an election ! nElu nNAC NAAA. a dozen legal voters, and held too by | officers who were residents of New | Mexico, has been initiated ou smaller scale in lSSl, in TanqUe Verde where the officers were appointed by Mir. Oury, were not sworn. and who delayed the count aud returns until Shibell, Oury and Kresham could go out after the count in Tucson, had been completed and give these peculiarly appointed | officers their "ideas."
 The Star has nothing to say about | Tanque Verde, where the fraud was ex- posed and proven, but charges that the ballots m Tucson were tempered with, not only Tn the absence of the slightest evidence to support its charge, but in the face of positive evidence that no such thing occurred.
 Tue defence utterly failed to prove a single illegal vote cast for Paul, while the clearest possible proof was made of stuffing the ballot box at Tanque Verde.
 I understand perfectly the interest the Star has Tn thIs contest. It ls hun gry for the Sheriff7s patronage, and every one of its screams comes from the very bottom of an empty stomach. As to MT. Shaw, tine people have not hitherto connected him with the frauds which secured to him his certificate oi election, but if, in the face Of the devel- opments made on the trIal just closed be continues to countenance the insane l mutterings of his oyerzealous friends the people will hold him responsible foI endeavoring to profit by the frauds com mittei by others in his interest.

MODEST Ben Morgan would like to be Governor of Arizona, but "he has such loathing and contempt for the average csrpet-bagger that he would willingly forego advancement to firmly fix in practice the principles annsupced in the Chicago platform" that all appoint ments shall be made of "bona fde resi- dents"
 Now, that is putting it pretty strong, and while We are of the impression NIT. Morgan has ruled himself out of the race. we have no idea that he in- tended to do so.
 It seems from letter of Mir. Mor- gan's, published in the Star of this date, that he IS the pet candidate of that journal, which is SO loud in suppor! of citizens of the Territory being appoint a b office instead of non-residents. If the Star is sincere in its advocacy Of citizens ot Arizona to fill the offices, why does it favor Ben Morgan, non resident? Every citizen, almost, of Tucson. knows how Ben Morgan loaded his household gods and all his worldly effects into Q box car, aud he and his family took the train for California, which they freely gave out was to be their future home. Ariz1na was good enough for Ben Morgan 10 make raise in, but not good enough to live in after | the stake had b-en made.
 Mir. Morgan wrote well when he said among our own citizens We have abil- ity, integrity and competency sufficient to administer every department of our government" This being the case, Ee are at a loss to understand why the Star wanders off after strange gods, overlook ing such worthy men as Hiram $. Ste vens, c. r. Head and many others we could name, who are not only bona tide citizens of Arizona, but who have in- vested their money here and arc going | lO stay with the pot.

SEAPORT FOR ARIZONA.

4 few days ago the CITIZEN copied short editorial from Bradstreet's which favored the purchase of c sufficient amount of land from MexIcO to straight en the boundary line from Fl Psso west to the Pacific ocean. This would give Arizona about one hundred miles Of seacoast along the eHst shore of the Gulf of California, and as Bradstreets states would be of considerable import ance to Arizona, and possibly, m a short time, to New Mexico and Colorado. It would tend to stimulate the building of railroads from the new seaport to Tue son and other points in the interior of this Territory, that would insure cheaper freights and fares, which would be of great benefit to our people. While the land thus obtained would be of but little real value and would cost us but a trltie, it would prove of great importance in naval point of view, us n 9afe hsrbor in the Calf of California might come very handy in case of war with foreign powers. either as R retreat or coalng station. It would also give seaport town to California and furnish the set ! dement's that are sure to be made along the west side of the Colorado r.ver from | its mouth to the Needles.

FARN1Ne OUT BUSINESS.

The Mexican government does things in a peculiar way. 4 few days ago We were informed by telegraph that Gen. Fremont would head an exploring and surveying party to Mexico to fix the boundaries to a tract of no less than l3OO0OO0 acres of land, recently ac- quired by a syndicate Of capitalists, in the States Of HldGlgo, Vera Cruz, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas. NueyO Leon, CoahuIla, Chihuahua and Durango. The same dispatch informed Us that Gen. Fremont had assocIRted with him in the scheme John Sickles, formerly of Cali fornia; Charles II. Swan, of New York; 1; Senor Zaremba, Mexican who resides in Chicago, and James F. Dane, also of Chicago. The syndicate is represented to have been formed for the purpose of acquiring, buying, selling, improving and developing lands in Mexico. Senor Zaremba promises to secure title to the lands, though by what method or hocus- pocus Is not made clear. The syndicate have put up Sl0OO00In cash as 6 starter, to secure transfer of the title and the expenses Of the expedition. Even be- Tore the announcement of the Fremont
 expedition, aDotber company or sy yndi- cate was announced who had made terms with the Mexican government for the survey of the entire States of Sina- loa, Chihuahua, Sonora and the terri

ed argument in an effort to harmonize Democratiye free trade and protective tariff doctrine will fail as 1t ought to fail. Mir. Randall had much better come out and boldly advocate the doctrine he has adhered to from the time he entered politics and tell the people that he is m favor ot protective taIifi. Neither he, nor the wing of the party he represents. can remain in the Democratic party much longer if they really favor pro- tective tariff. They have nothing to hope fer from tho Democratic party which is the free trade party of the country and Is diametrically opposed to protective tarlfT. Our advice to NIT. Randall and his followers IS to come over to the Republican party. which favors protective tariff and boldly an nounces the doctrine, and help to sc cure that protection winch VIC all know they believe in, away down in the bot tom of their hearts.

THE new strike, winch IS looked upon as one of the most important yet dis covered at Quiiotoa, greatly enhances the value of the Weldon comPany's property. one of the Bonanza corpora tions. which lies immediately west Of the Devon mine, on which the recent rich strike was made. The Weldon group, thcugh but little developed IS looked upon as one of the most promis- ing mines ID the district. There will be more dividend paying mines on Mount Ben Nevis, when once thoroughly opened up, than has ever been on Mount Davidson. Those who have not exam ined the Quijotoa mues have no idea Of their magnitude. The ore Is high grade, free and will mill to a high per cent. Plenty of wood abounis in the district, and the water question has Leen solved. Nothing now remains to be done but build mills and go on developing the mines. The boom Is coming, and the bullion soon will be.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1885-01-10

THE Daily Post of the 2i instant says: "We have authority for stating that the Peer, Peerless and Crocker mining com panIes, representing the leading mines in the famous Quijotoa district Tn Ari- zona, which age under the control of Messrs. Flood and John W. MGcksy, will now make application f. have their stocks listed, and there being no doubt of their acceptance, they are likely to be called for tine first time next week. We trust that this will be the entering wedge of large and increasing busi- ness in good outside stocks The same paper also says "thBt John ". Mackay writes from Paris to erect a mIll without delay, as there is now positive need of it. Accordingly, the officers of the com panies will go about it at once"
 This settles the question of Q mill as soon as one can be built. The company has not gone wild on the mill question, as most Of our mining companies have done in Arizona, but continued develop ments until they ascertained inst what kind of works they wanted to reduce their ores, and will now proceed to erect such as are necessary. The Quiiotoas will boom before long.

 It will be seen that the latter company include the State of Chihuahua, which is also one of the States winch the Ere mont syndicate name 6s furnishing portion Of the l3,OOO,OOO acres. If so, the Fremont syndicate has a different "lay out " from that which Is to survey Chihuahua, SinaIoa and the west.
