It was on Tues day the 29tb of December, 1863. in the afternoon. that Secretary Mccormick in the presence of the other officers, their military escort and certain citi- zens, who accompanied them into the territory male the following brief but appropriate remarks.
 "Gentlemen; As the properly quail fled officer, it becomes my duty to in- augurate the proceedings of the day. After long and trying journey, we have arrived within the limits of the Territory of Arizona. These broad plains and hills. form part of the dis trict over which as the representatives of the United States, we are tn eStab- fish a civil government. Happily, al- though claimed by those now in hos tility to the Federal arms, we take possession of the territory without re- sort to military force. The flag which l hoist in token of our authority is no new and untried banner. For near ly a century 1t has been the recogniz- ed, the honored, the loved emblem of law and liberty. From Canada to Mexico. from the Atlantic Co the Pa cific millions Of strong arms are raised in it's defense, and above all efforts Of foreign or domestic foes it is destined to live untarnished and transcendent. "
 The flag was raised, cheers given, and prayer offered by Mir. Read
 Secretary Mccormick then admins. tered the oath Of office tn Chief Jus tice Farmer and Associate Justices Allyn and Howell and Governor John N. Goodwin took the official oath be- fore the Chief Justice and caused to be read proclamation in English and Spanish.
 The weather was cold and the last rays of a December sun fingered on the peaks of the San Francisco mountain when, fol the first time the Stars and Stripes hoated in the air of Arizona Territory by virtue of civil authority. HiIarity and good cheer followed, so far as was possible under such circum- stances, and the late Sergeant w. R.. Mccormick. who commanded part of the escort, told us there was enough good VI iskey in the camp, which had been brought from beyond the Missou- ri river to make the ,casion peculiar ly enjoyable. There were some doubts and misgivings at the time as to whether Navajo Springs was in Arizo- na, so indefinite was the dividing line between this territory and New Mex leo, but the year was drawing to a close and it was imperative that the territory should be organized in 1863 or the officials who had been appoint ed and confirmed in March would lose their salaries for that year.
 The party proceeded to Fort Whip ple, which had already been establish- ed short time previous to the arrival of rlIe territorial officers, by Major Willis of the First California Infantry who was in the command of Brig. Gen. James II. Carleton, commanding the Military department of New Mexico. In June following, the town of Pres colt, mile west of the Fort, was laid out and became the capital of Arizona where the first Legislature convened on the 26th day of September lS64, in accordance with the proclamation Of the Governor and was organized by the election of Ex.Goyerpog Coles Bash ford, of Wlseousln, as President of the

He took his life in his hands by pushing
inland, going to the seat of government
OF Yeddo, where he succeeded In max
ing an advantageous treaty. This
served as basis for subsequent treaties
with Great Britain, Prussia, France,
Switzerland and other countries. ln
1866 our Minister, Mr.. Portmsn, had
the treaty changed, making the tariff
rate per cent. ad valorem. Other
countries secured the same change.
These old treaties are sill in force,
and are the ones about to be superseded
by the new series of treaties. The main
feature of the new treaties is that they
recognize Japan as full treaty making
power, and make commercial arrange
ments with her accordingly. The old
treaty gave the United States a uniform
tariff rate Of per cent. ad valorem for
sending goods into Japan, although
this country was left free to impose
such tariff rates as she saw it against
Japan. The new treaty will raise the
Japanese rates, on the principle that
the government Is now able 10 enact
Just and enlightened tariff law OF its
own. The rate for imports from the
United States is understood to be from
6 TO per cent. and TO be a SPECIFIC In
stead of an ad valorem duty.

ENGLISH COMMENT.
Views Taken OF the War by Leading
British Journals.


British Journals.
LONDON, Septem Der 19.-The Graphic
in an article under the caption, The
Chinese Sedan" comments on the Ping
Yang battle at length. The japanese,
the article says, have managed their
campaign with grasp of military
science and soldierly ability deserving
Of the utmost credit.
The NelOs says: "It is difficult TO see
how China can recover from the blow
which reveals the essential weakness OF
her military equipments and admins
tratlon. The moment is favorable Tor
the neutral powers to renew their over
lures for peace. China might easily
grant the virtual Independence OF Corea
which Japan is probably willing TO ac-
cept.n
The Standard says: "The japanese
have every reason to pride themselves
upon the excellence Of their military ar
rangements, but 1t is not safe to assume
that the victory OF the Japanese will
incline the Chinese to sue for peace.
Defeat In the past has only nerved the
Chinese to more strenuous efforts. 1t Ia
much more probable that the Flng- ang
fight will have the effect TO EN- bitter and
prolong the struggle than that 1t will
result in China's involuntary self-ef-
facmsnt in Corea."
The Chronicle says: "The Japanese
army has done It's work Oravely and
brilliantly, but their navy will now
have tough'task. II they can defeat
the Chinese squadron the Japanese
forces will certainly land in China and
reduce Port Arthur and Wei Wei from
the landslide and possibly attempt TO
seize Canton and advance upon Pekin.
When this happens the end will not be
far off,"
The telegraph says: "The Mongol-
ian colossus has feet of clay which are
crumbling. II the powers, especially
England, were TO intervene promptly
with friendly counsels. the conflict
might be ended"

WASHINGTON, September 1s.-Sena-
tor Faulkner, who is in q position 70
gauge accurately the influence which
the Louisiana sugar planters WELD with
the rank aud tile in the State, said TO-
day he felt confident the bolt OF the
planters would not cause the loss OF

Democrats. He was not at all worried
over the action of the planters. Gen.
eral Catchings, Of Mississippi, who
is thoroughly acquainted with Lou
isiana affairs, declared to-day that he
was rather GLAD the sugar planters had
bolted, as IL cleared the way for free
sugar. The boiling planters cannot
in my opinion" he said, "elect RepHo-
licans TO the House, and the Democrats
who are elected in spite Of their Opposi-
tion will be under no obligations to
watch after their selfish interests. The
demands OF the Louisiana planters
have been an embarrassment to the
Democratic party and l shall not be at
all grieved TO have them cut loose.

anything and the operations OF the Ger

JAPAN'S NEW TREATIES.
They Are Regarded as Quite as Import

WASHINGTON, September 15.-The
new treaties which Japan is effecting
with the great powers, including the
United States, are regarded In diplo-
matte circles as an event in interna-
tional affairs quite as important as the
China-Japanese war, as the treaties will
for the first time give official recogni-
tjon to japan as one of the sisterhood
.of civilized nations. All OF the Japan
ese trsaties now existing treat her as
half baTbsrous country. and are relics
of the days prior to her advancettoward
civiIizat on in methods.

LONDON, September 1s.-A dispatch
from Ping Yang, Corea, dated yester-
day, says that every hour adds to the
crushing character Of the Chinese de-
feat. 1t is added that the first estimates
were slightly under the actual facts
and the total OF the Chinese losses dur
ing the two days battle is now said to
be over II, 600 men killed, wounded and
prisoners The Japanese cavalry is
continuing the pursuit OF the Chinese
who succeeded in escaping, and detach-
ments Of troopers continue bringing In
squads OF captured Chinese.
The Chinese prisoners who were not
wounded were paraded yesterday morn
ing in circle of japanese troops and 1t
was seen that they numbered Ii, 500. 1t
is probable, however, that this number
will be increased during the next few
days by the prisoners who are being
constantly brought in by the Japanese
cavalry. Many of the Chinese captured
were found hiding in the quiet portions
CT the city.
