George Bryant, of Stanton, IS in town. This is his first visit to Pres colt in twenty-fouE years. MT. Bryant was a member of the Pauline Weaver party who arrived on Ante lope creek where Stanton is now located, in the summer of 1862. He and Henry Wickenburg are the only two survivors of that party today. Mr. Bryant was ia on the excite ment on Rich Hill, and of the half million or more dollars worth of gold taken from there m one sum mer he is credited with having had from $40.0O0 to $60,000. He has been absent from the territory for several years until a few months ago when he returned.
 The Psescott churches at present are all supplied with good pastors, who are interested in their work and who devote much time and study in the preparation of their Sunday sermons. The congrega- tions which assemble as rule on Sunday in the respective churches must be discouraging to them, as none as a rule are we'll attended, oftimes the seats of members them selves being vacant. Prescott has enough church members and enough others who while they may not be- long to any church believe in them as ar institution of good to fill every church in the town.

 The law passed by the recent leg
 islature in reference to murder, 1t IS said, will clear from thirteen to fourteen persons in the territory ac- cused of that crime, some of them accused of the most cold-blooded crimes too. The repeating part of the act makes it impossible to convict a man of higher crime than man. slaughter where the act was commit ted prior to the passage of this law or course homicide committed since the passage of the law will bs governed by the law. It is custom ary in making change of this kind in law to insert a saving clause like this: Save and except as 10 such eases as may be now pending" That it was an oversight on the part of the legislature that this sav- ing clause was not inserted there IS little doubt, but whether or not the law waschanged at the instigation of some attorney who had client he wanted cleared, is not certain. It is openly charged that such is the case. Whether this is the case or not, it IS fact, known to all, that there were few political cormo- rants hanging around the legislature who tried to work it on other matters but failed, Speaking of the passage of the above law the Tue son Star has thetfollowing to say And now it comes tol lsht that the worst is not known of the late Tin Horn legislature. It appears that it not only attempted to condon' crime by passing bill remittine embezzlement oi certain fees ot cer tain officers, but it has done ever worse. It appears i' passed a law repeating all penalties for murde l (exeept that prescribed for man slaughter) which were committed prior to the enactment of the new 1 bill; the effect of which will be ths

Phenix has a chronic affliction of politics. They have politics in their beer, politics in their whisky, poli- tics in the water they drink, (this being the mildest form Tn which 1t is taken, and taken only in broken doses) politics in the very air they breathe. They talk politics on the street corners, in saloons, in dark alleys. and under the broad glare of electric lamps, and of the noon day sun thirteen months in the year. Politics are on the tongue of every male citizen, and the newspapers are full of it. When they have not a territorial or county campaign, or a municipal squabble on their hands, they are trying to make or unmake governors, judges and other officials. At the pres ent time the people down there are in the seventh heaven of polit
 cal ecstasy, being in the very throes of municipal campaign, on the re- suit of which, to judge from what one hears and sees of it, the des- tinies, not of the capital city. nor of Arizona, but of worlds, depends, and in addition thereto they talk governor from early morn till mid night. The municipal election will be held next Tuesday, and that will settle the city campaign. Col. Me- Cords appointment will be an nounced on Monday probably and that will settle the gubernatorial campaign. Then Phenix kickers will settle down to their accustomed kicking against the powers that be, from governor down to street sweeper, while others will continue the campaign of politics on the line of other territorial and federal ap- pointees.

A BIunder or what.

As expected, the city council refused
either to approve or disapprove the reso-
lutions adopted by the cotton exchange
and board of trade protesting against the
nomination of negro for collector of GUS
toms or postmaster in this city. 1t would
be interesting to know whether the para
graph in the. resolutions calling on the
council TO make a similar protest was
simply a bIunder, due to a desire to make
the opposition to negro nominees as strong
a possible, or a shrewd political scheme
to put the Liberal Club in hole. Some
OF the Liberal Club leaders took the latter
view of the matter The statement made
by Alderman Guckenheimer at Wednes-
day nights council meeting shows that
very clearly. The Liberal Club people
didn't intend to be put in hole, and SO
council evaded the issue.
Whether the provision in the trade
bodies resolutions calling on the city
council to protest was a political scheme
or simply a blunder, it is safe to say
that the effect of it will be to lessen the
influence of the resolutions. 1t will be
suggested to the President, in all prob
ability, without the explanatory circum-
stances, that as the city council did not
approve the protest the feeling against
the nomination of a negro cannot be as
general and strong as represented. If that
should be the course pursued the trade
bodies would have only themselves to
blame, because while they were entirely
right in speaking for themselves, there
was no good reason for taking the risk of
asking the city council to approve the res
olutions. There was a risk, because no
one of those at the trade bodies meet
ing was prepared to say that there were
no reasons why the city council shouldn't
promptly approve the resolutions. AS 1t
turned out there were reasons. Did some
shrewd politician of the Citizens Club see
the situation clearly and undertake to
make trouble for the Liberal Club? If so,
then the welfare of the city is being
sacrificed to promote petty factional poll
tics
