THE HOUSE,


The House this morning Immediately pro-
ceeded to the consideration Of the Noyes-
Rockwell contested election case and Mr..
Fellows IN. W took the floor to close the case
for the contestee. He promised his speech by
propOunding question to Mr.. O'FerralL
That question was whether it was conceded
that II the sixteen Doyle ballots cast for Noyes
were rejected and the twenty-eight marked
ballots cast for Rockwell were counted Mr..
Rockwell would be entitled to the seat
Mr.. O'Ferrall replied in the affirmative. II
the Doyle ballots were rejected and the marked
ballots retained, Rockwell must keep his seat.
THE DOYLE BALLOTS.
Mr.. Fellows said that he would attempt to
show that the sixteen Doyle ballots were pur-
chased, bribed ballots, the result of criminal
conspiracy. and that on the twenty-eight so
called marked ballots there was no faint and
that they should not be rejected. The con-
testee (RockwelD came before this body
with the certificate OF the state of New York,
bearing its seal-thc highest and supremest evil
dence OF its sovereignty and power. Whatever
York could, under the law. attach to her act
she had attached to Mr.. Rockwell as the Repre-
sentative from the tventy-eighth district
No frantic appeals to democrats IN justification
Of the doctrine Of states rights should divert
them from the consideration of the question
cast. The Constitution had invested
the body which sat under this roof
with the absolute power to determine the
election, qualification and return of its mem
bers. 1t left to the states the settlement Of
the question e. to who we're proper electors.
But when it came to an examination
Of the ballots themselves, to the
determination of whether ballots were
legal ballots, whether they were cast by men
entitled to vote or by women not entitled to
vote, whether they were honest ballots or pur-
chased ballots, the House could not surrender
the rights to any other power under the skiea
Here, where the sovereignty Of all states was
crystsllized into the sovereignty Of the nation,
the question must be settled !
T.. SEAL OF THE STATE. 'fH I
One Of the parties to the contest was here
under the sanctity Of the seal Of his state, the
other came here contesting. A contestant
should como here with clean hands. He
should come before this tribunal with
perfect case. Before the House set aside q
certificate Of election it should require that .
man who assailed the seal Of the great state 81
New York should himself be unstsined.
An EXCITING DIscussroN.
The discussion became exciting this pfter-
noon, when Bourke Cochran took the door IN
advocacy Of Rockvells claim. His langpagd
was scathing aud his oratory was impressive.
He minced NO words, and his philippe, ad-
dressed against the minority report, was very
powerful and was received with tumultuous ap-
plause BY his party colleagues.

An Attamn4ad Hold un.

Saturday night whilst Mir. F. Milten- berg, proprietor of the clty bakery and councilman of the city, was upon his way home he was set upon by two high waymen who attempted to assault him and made an unsuccessful attempt to grab his gold watch. MT. MiltenbeTg, who IS courageous man, and who has worked hard for his possessions and who at the time of the attempt to rob him, had considerable money on his person and was determined not to give 1t up, so turning upon his assailants he smashed one of them in the mouth with such headway of athletic steam that the would be sand-baggers took to their heels regardless of all rules that applied to a too previous sprinting brigade. MT. Miltenberg's resOlute action saved him his gold watch and chain and his money, ard also saved himself from be- ing badly dishgured by the toOt-pads With his hand somewhat jammed by the encounter and his eye slightly cut Mir. Miltenberg emerged out of the struggle victor. TEe Tucson Athletic Club now proposes to see that Mir. Mil tenberg occupy an hOnOrory member ship among the athletes.

THE GRAND CANYON
The Greatest Wonder of Nature
 to be Found on Earth.

The great river of Arizona is the
 Colorado. This river drains the whole
 Territory, every stream within its
 limits being tributary to it. The Grand
 Canyon of the Colorado commences a
 few. miles south of the point of the en-
 trance of the river into the Territory
 and fer distance of over 100 miles of
 its course it plunges through the most
 stupendous chasm on ths face of the
 earth. The gorge varies in Gepth from
 1000 to 5000 feet and in width from one
 to eighteen miles. It is impossible to
 present word picture that will give
 anything like an adequate idea of the marvels of this canyon, or rather group ot canyons, for within the gorge there are hundreds of other chasms, some of
 them thousands of feet in depth. Stand
 ing on the cliffs of the Marble canyon the huge, turbulent strea at the bottom
 looks like a silver thread. You can travel down to it in a days journey,
 aud it will take you another course of the sun to climb back to the summit again. In some places it is so deep and abrupt that the stars glisten in all their nocturnal beauty at midday, while not even stray gleam of sunshine has ever penetrated the abyss. Think upon it! miles upon miles of the grandest scene ry in nature which has never seen a sun beam, and into which the stars are continually pesping. Bat the sunshine can be seen gleaming afar off. making the distant crags look like burnisbed gold set within opals and diamonds. the lights and shadows creating strange architectural forms, palaces -cathedrals, obelisks and bod battlements, behind which Titans might have fought. Fan tastic rocks take the form of huge cities with silent streets. on which there are no foot falls, and away beyond, with their shining towers piercing the azure vaults of heaven, are the temples of the gods. It is land of dreams and wonder and any tempt to describs it in sober, matteT-of fact language would be out of place. It is undou btedly the greatest wonder of nature to be found on the earth and it must be seen before any prehensiOn can be had of its mar vels. A visitor might spend months here and never tire of its ever-varying beauty. Imagine, If you can, huge cleft longer than it is from New ' ork to Pi5tsburg. In places it is nearly as wide as tGe sea between England and France; in other places so narrow that 8 rife ball can be fired across it, and deeper than Pike's peak is above Colo rado Springs. But this only gives an idea of magnitude. Its myriad marvels and weird beauty are reserved for only those whose eyes are permitted to look upon this wonder land away below the crust of Mother earth.
 A new stage line, connecting with the popular Santa Fe route, has been es- ablished between Williams and the Canyon. Tourists can now reach this greatest of wonders with comfort and ease. Only twelve hOurs staging Williams News.

"'CHAs. F. HoFF, chief organizer" has issued a Democrats Attention" in which he counsels the faithful to hustle along both hot and heavy, as the enemy is well organized and liable to sweep the deck of the unwashed. With an inno- cence that IS both chlldlIke and bland he says:
 "The Republican party is upon our heels. They are better organized in this Territory this campaign, than they ever have beeu."
 This shoulder hitting call to infant students ID politics, has been published as long haul article intended to ee- tablish mission stations in Yavapai and Graham counties where the taste of whisky is unknown and Dinmore's soap is delivered free. But how about the Democracy of Tucson? The Stars col umns are still yearning for that call to prayer. Did the Governor refuse to publish the bridge that spans the river that runs between the Democrats and office, or did the "chief organizer" of this pioneer rallying relic, give the Dem ocracy of Tucson the grand go by, but will later on issue them an essay on the efficacy of the Aernotor to raise the wind in politics.

Good Things by Harrison.

My countrymen, this Government is that winch I love to think of as my coun- try; for not acres, or railroads, or farm products, or bulk meats, or Wall street, or all combined. are the country that l love. It is the institution, the form of government, the frame of civil society for which that flag stands, and which we love day."-Benjamin Harrison.
 'When that great chieftain received the surrender of the army of Northern Virginia, when those who had for four years confronted us in battle stacked arms in total surrender, the terms were simply these: You shall go to your homes and shall be there unmolested, so long as you obey the laws in force where you reside. That is the sum of our demand" !" Benjamin Harrison.
 'There is vast power in a protest. Pub l'c opinion IS the most potent monarch this world knows today. CZars tremble in its presence. ."-Benjamin Harrison.
 ''There seems to be fitness in the as sOciation of young men with the Repub- ican party. The Republican party is a young party. 1 have not yet begun to cal myself an old man. and yet there is no older Republican in the United States than l Benjamin Harrison.
 We cannot match ages with the Dem ocratic party any more than that party can match achievements with us."-Ben- jamin Harrison.
 "When 500,000 veterans found them selves without any pressing engage ment and Phil Sheridan sauntered down towards the borders of Mexico, French evacuation was expedited, and when (rnnaral Grant aIr nH ho E7,,rl.-l erDment that our claims for the depreda- tions committed by those rebel cruisers that wero sent out from British ports to prey upon our commerce must be paid. but that We were not in a hurry about it we could wait, but in the mean time intersst would accumulate-the Geneva arbitration was accepted, and compensa- ton made for these unfriendly invasions of our rights ."-Benjamin Harrison.
 I've must not forget that in dealing with these questions we were met con tinually by the protest and opposition of the Democratic party. The war against the States was unconstitutional. There was no right to cOerce sovereign States. The war was a failure and a dishonor- able peace was demanded. The legal tenders were illegal. The constitutional amendments were void. And so through this whole brilliant history of achieve ment in this administration we were fol- lowed by the Democratic statesmen, pro- testing against every step and throwing every impeachment in the way of national success until it seemed to be true of many of their leaders that, in their estimation. nothing was lawful, nothing was lovely that did not conduce to the success of the rebellion, ,"-Beniamin Franklin.

 Columbus, who as usual considered himself under the immediate eye and guardianship of heaven in this solemn enterprise intimates in his journal that this swelling of the sea seemed provi- dentially ordered to allay the rising clamors of his crew, comparing 1t to that which so miraculously aided Moses when conducting the children of Israel out of the captivity of Egypt.

had its changes and revolutions, and every day described circle around the pole. The high opinion which the pilots entertained of Columbus as a profound astronomer gave weight to this theory, and their alarm subsided As yet the so- lar system of Copernicus was unknown; the explanation of Columbus, therefore, was highly plausible and ingenious, and 1t shows the vivacity of his mind, ever ready to meet the emergency of the mo- ment. The theory may at first have been advanced merely to satisfy the minds of others, but Columbus appears subse- quently to have remained satisfied with it himself. The phenomena has now be- come familiar to us, but we still continue ignorant of its cause It is one of those mysteries of nature, open to daily obser- vation and experiment., and apparently simple from their familiarity, but which on investigation make the human mind conscious of its limits, baffiing the expe- rience of the practical and humbling the pride of science.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The Territorial delegates from Pima county to the Prescott convention will appear at the chief city of Yavapai to put in nomination a suitable delegate possessing the re quis!te qualifications to make Arizona heard and recognized in her appeals for relief to the general government,
 The delegates as chosen from Pima county are representative men, ,and from the tone and character of these gentle men if appears that the Republican party has thrown aside any differences that they may have had foisted upon them, and are now pulling together in g com- mon cause so as to secure such repre- sentative material as will make itself heard and gain for Arizona that recog- nItion to winch it is badly in need of and to which It is most deservedly en- titled.

John Rhodes has been released. This action on the part of the justice before whom he was tried, certainly meets the approval of the cattle men hereabouts, who know Rhodes well. It meets their approval for the reason that they believe Rhodes innocent of the crime charged against him. The evidence on the part of the prosecution was not sufficient to warrant holding him over for the district court, although considering the nervous condition of that portion of the country over the killing of MT Graham, it would perhaps, have been wisdom on the part of Justice Huson to have held him. Rhodes himself could not object to such precaution, for, if innocent as his friends believe him to be, and as the evidence indicates, he need not fear to face any tribunal. However, he has been dis charged from custody. and in company with others, left for Tonto Basin. It is to be hoped that the officers of the law will not rest till they have run down the party or parties who did the killing.

low and withered, others so green as to have apparently been recently washed from land. On one of these patches was live crab, which Columbus carefully preserved. They saw also white tropic- al bird, of kind which never sleeps upon the sea Funny fish also played about the ships, one of which was killed by the crew of the Nina. Columbus now called to mind the account given by Aristotle of certain ships of Cadiz, which, cOaSting the shores outside of the straits of Gibraltar, were driven westward by an lmpetuous east wind until they reached a part of the ocean covered with vast fields of weeds, resembling sunken islands, among which they beheld many tunny fish. He supposed himself ar rived Tn this weedy sea, as it had been called, from which the ancient mariners had turned back in dislnay, but which he regarded with animated hope as in- dicatiHa the vicinity of land. Not that he had yet any idea of reaching the ob- ject of his search, the eastern end of Asia; for, according to his computation, he had come but 360 leagues since leaving the Canary islands, and he placed the main land of India much farther on.
 On the 18th of September the same weather continued; soft steady breeze from the east filled every sail, while, to use the words of Columbus. the sea was as calm as the Guadalqulver at SevlLe He fancied that the water of the sea grew fresher as he advanced, and noticed this as proof of the superior sweetness and purity of the air.
 The crews were all in high spirits; each ship strove to get in the advance, and every seaman was eagerly on the look out; for the sovereigns had promised pension of 10000 maravadis to him who should first discover land. Martin Alonzo Pinzon crowded all canvas, and as the Pinta was a fast sailer he generally kept the lead. In the afternoon he hailed the admiral and informed him that, from the flight of a great number of birds and from the ap- pearance of the northern horizon, he thought there was land in that direction.
