ing that time saw and talked with
 parliamentarians and others on the Chilean question. They have been told that it is all Egan's fault, and
 they don't believe anything else. They talk about Egan being an Irishman, with only sense enough to be free trader. replied that I did not see that Eagan had done any harm in the Chilean affair, and asked them for specifications. Then they talked of nitrate speculations, and they do not seem to have any thing else to offer in the way of ar gument."
 The reckless writer for the Cou- rier, who signs himself 4. c. R., has suddenly come to the conclusion that his identity is shrouded in great mystery, and that people are really anxious to learn who he is. With the egotism characteristic of his writings, he proceeds to enlarge on his ante-revolutionary pedigree, with the interpolation of a great big "I" at every few words. As his excuse for thus unburdening himself of his lineage he says: Some one has said, that no ono 
 knows who A. C. R. is" In this he is mistaken. After an unusually idiotic screed, written by him. the remark made by some one," was. "Wonder who this damphool is, any wayi"
 Captain Schley has been relieved from the command of the Baltimore and assigned to duty at Staten Is- land, New York. Captain William Whiteman is named as his successor Captain Remey is also succeeded by Captain H. F. Pickney as command CT of the Charleston. The relief of these two captains of their respect i've commands was a matter of rule those officers having already served more than the regulation time as commanders of vessels. Their times expired some weeks ago, and it was at their urgent request that no changes were made as long as there was a prospect of trouble. Their relief from the vessels during such period would have been regarded as rather severe unless there was some specific reason for the change.
 The Phenix Gazette has assumed the role of apologist for the Nor mons This was to be expected though. The Mormons have lots of votes in Maricopa county and the Gazette staff numbers one or more men who will want them by and by. One-half of the Gazette's articles consist in stereotyped abuse of those who will not fall down and worship at the feet of Mormonism, while the other half consists of the thread bare tale of industry and frugality of Mormons. No one has ever at tempted to deny that that they were both industrious and frugal. It Is not with their personal habits that fault is found but with the un- Americanism of the church, which not only undertakes to look after the spiritual welfare of its members, but compels obedience to its mandates in political affairs as we'll.
 The Phenix Republican works itself up into a white heat over a presumption that Col. Christ pro- poses to use the league clubs to elect delegates to the national re- publican convention. If the Re- publican would post itself in regard to the organization of these clubs and then read the call issued by the national committee, its sleep would not be disturbed by such horrible nightmares. The constitution of the league expressly prohibits such action on the part of the clubs, while the call for the national convention expressly states how the delegates shall be elected. Col. Christ is per fectly familiar with both of these prohibitions against such proposed action, and has not the slightest in- tention of attempting to override them. The delegates to the nation al convention will be elected in due course of time in the regular way.
 The time is approaching when it will be necessary for the republi- cans of Arizona to elect two dele gates and two alternates to the national republican convention, which meets in Minneapolis next June. Already names of possible candidates are being talked of, by republicans, who have the interest of the republican party at heart. That northern Arizona is entitled to one of the delegates is generally conceded. Republicans here want a man selected for the position whose republicanism is undoubted. Who has the interest of the party at heart and who will sink his personal feelings for the promotion of the party's interests. A man who will | reflect credit alike to the party and | the territory in the convention. It | is universally conceded that the gentleman combining all of these qualifications is Hon. N. O. Murphy, secretary of the territory. He is the universal choice of this section for the position if he will accept the trust. Whether he will do so or not to be seen. But while be nas not announced himself as can lidate, and we do net believe that
