NEXT Monday the Fifteenth Leg islative Assembly of Arizona will meet. The first thing ia crder will be wrangle over the speakerships of the two houses, then the elec- ton of clerks, door-keepers, pages, etc. After that will come the wire pulling, cqmbinations, swapping, etc., for the removal of the capitol, division of counties, and other pet schemes of interruptions represen- tativeS who worked and hoodWink- ed the people, in order to carry out some measure for their own az grandisement, and that of 2 few of their friends, and not to serve the interests of the people of their res pective counties. or of the Terri tory. We hope Governor Zulick will watch the proceedings ot the present legislature carefully, and if he sees or detects any measure got ten up in the interests of local fac tions. or for the especial benefit of any particular locality, that will prove burden to the general tax payers of the Territory, that he will follow the example of the Presi- dent, and return the bill without his approval. Such course would serve to render the close of his ad- ministration deservedly popular with the intelligent and patriotic portion of the people of the Terri tory.

GEO. H. STEVENS who was de feated in Graham county at the last election for the legislature is again a candidate for the same position. A special election having been or dered in that county on acconnt of one of the members elect resigning. Stevens is an old-timer. a good Democrat, a competent and capable official, and was only defeated at the last election, by wire-pulling, blue-nose pack, bent on divesting him of his political preferment. We hope Stevens will this time be sue cessful, and that he will sit as an uncom romising Democrat in the Fifteenth Legislature.

THE case against the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company for law yers' fees and costs in the suit oi the taxes of 1886, has been decided by Judge Wright in favor of the county. The attorneys for ther road appealed it to the Territorial Su- preme Court, and it will probably be decided by that tribunal during the present term of that court
 Should this be done, the decision will be final, as the sum in litiga- ton is under S5,0O0. The mag mates of this corporation will learn soon, we trust, that 1t is not above the law, and has no more rights and privileges than other incorpo- rations of less magnitude that are compelled to pay their taxes regu- larly or have their property sold.

w. E. PLATT, our present post master, needs no commendation at our hands, and his invulnerable in- tegrity cannot be effected by any thing the Review or its gang might say. There is no town in Arizona that possesses a postmaster as ob= liging, as attentive, as honest, capa- ble and efficient as docs St. Johns. He and his office do not fear inves- tigation, and the county does not possess 2 man that can fill his of flee with the same competency and
 ability, and there is no Republican in St. Johns that can give the bond.

HE law says thgE the SuperVl- sors must give bonds in the sum of 5000. Rope was elected a Super visor two years ago, at time when such a bond was not required. In casting lot, he won the long or hold over term, from Richards. In Feb ruary, 1887, the Fourteenth Legis- lature created a law which was ap- proved, to take effect in July of the same year, requiring Supervisors to give a bond of S5,000. Now, we do not presnme to be connected with any law firms ot the ''city of Prescott" or to be one of the "brightegt young lawyers of the Ter ritory visiting there, " but we believe to be in possession of sufficient in telligence to say that in pursuance with this law, every Supervisor in this Territory should have, if they did not, filed a bond in the said sum at the time the law took effect. What was the object of tha law taking effect in July, 1887, if the intention was not to effect the then Supervisors?
 If the intention was to exempt the then Supervisors from the pro- visions of this act, why did it not so state? When an unmistakable law is staring you in the face, you cannot presume, but must take it as 1t is.
 AS general principle of reason ing, if Rope, as Supervisor, was not to be affected by laws enacted and ordered into effect during his administration, what would he be governed by up to December 31st, 1890, the laws at the time of his election being regoked2 By virtue of existing laws, Rope was as much supposed to give bonds as was Bias singame or Coleman. The law which falls upon all alike, does not exact a 5000 bond ef two mem bers of the Board of Supervisors and require no bond at all from the third member. When the act fail ed to make provisions eXempting Supervisors elected in 1886 from giving bonds, it can only be under stood that the then Supervisors and their successors should be governed by the law from the time 1t took ef- feet until it was repealed.

THEs Reviews assault on MT. Platt as postmaster, alleging ''irreg- ularities' in his office, is quite fun ny indeed. The HERALD after in yestigation found the ''irregularity" spoken of, being the inability on the part of MT. Platt to get the postage due by the Review to the post office for the past quarter. There seems to be two irregularities" First, the postmaster's inability to get his postage and, second, the busted Review's treasurer being unable to pay it,
