DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

The Democracy of Gila county, in
 pursuance of published call, and in
 conformity with the proclamation of
 the Chairman of the. Territorial Cen
 tral Committee, embled in conven-
 tion on the 17th inst, and balloted for
 the election of three delegates to rep
 resent the county in the Territorial
 Convention, which meets in Phoenix
 on the Eth of May, for the purpose of
 electing two delegates and two alter
 mates as representatives in the Ma
 tionaE Presidential Nominating Con-
 vention, which assemblies in St. Louis,
 Mo-, June 5th. W. A. Holmes, Alex.
 Trippel and W. G. Pendleton were
 elected as delegates from this county
 to the Convention in Phoenix, who are
 pronounced advocates of L. c. Hughes
 for delegate to the National Conven-
 ton, and 1t was upon that ground
 that they were unanimously chosen
 for the position. There was no ex-
 pression in reference to the other del egate-leaving to GIla's representa-
 tives to select-but it was well under stood that no Zul1ck man need apply
 for their support. Such being the
 will of the convention. as expressed by w. A. Holmes, Alonzo Bailey, E. H. Cook William Peudleton and others.
 The Code was severely and justIy criticised. The suggestion that it be sold as waste paper, and that the laws in force previous to the creation of the Code should be re-enacted, was loudly One of the principal ar guments in favor of the repeal of the Code is founded upon the fact that the commisslen which hurriedly foisted the crude and contradictory laws found therein upon the people, had no authority to de so. They were mere ly directed to make a revision of the existing laws--to eliminate therefrom all crude and useless matter and to recommend to the Legislature such new provisions as might be expedient and proper. But thls commission. tostered by the scheming combination, centered around the Governor office, ignored the wise directions of the law that empowered them to act, and set ting at naught the thoroughly decided | and digested Codes of laws of other States in its labors, picked up here and there heterogeneous mass of law, advised the Legislature to adopt it, and in some instances without waiting for the action of that body, sent it to the Executive, finally printed it and | sent t out to the Territory as mon- ument to its haste, and, in many in- stances, imOecility.

On our visit to the Court House, we find it Tn course of completion. We find the material used n building good; but the plan of the building is such as would make the community wonder where the architect was se- cured, if indeed such a person exists. The portion of the building deslgna- ted for the County Jail4is a poorly provided affair. The cage IS set Ill a small room, leaving no room to get around it except on the front side. The cells have a damp, nasty and dis agreeable smell, and are in filthy condition; but we see no way te rem edy the evil, at present. The Shent complains about extra keys, that arG in the hands of unknown outside par ties, that will unlock the jail anc which have already been used in fiber ating one prisoner confined therein That he has spoken to the Superyl sors regarding the matter but, as yet they have taken no acton.

Some protection should also be given to tn, Sheriff from having outside parties handing through the grated windows anything they want to the prisoners such as pistols, knives, etc.. During the visit to the County Jail, the pris eners complained that they did no have enough to eat. 4 committee ex amined the breakfast for the pr,son oners on the morning of the 18th and reported that the meal was superior to what a majority of the people get to eat, and plenty of it.
