constituents That he has served them
faithfully and we'll, is attested by the improve
ments made upon the streets in his district.
To Col. G. w. Griggs, in a great measure,
belongs the credit of making the Rice street
sewer, the grading of that street and many
others in the ward. Ever faithful to COM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Sem
ate Committee on Appropriations
this morning, agreed to add to the
Post Office Appropriation bill the
section authorizing contracts to be
made for a semi-monthly steamship
mail service between the United
States and Brazil by two lines, one
from New York via Norfolk and
the other from New Orleans via
Galveston, each to receive compen-
sation not exceeding one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars per an
mum. The committee recommend
an appropriation of two hundred
thousand dollars or so much thereof
as may be necessary to provide for
this service during the next fiscal
year the expectation being that
steamships for the New Orleans line
will not be ready to commence run
ming before the expiration of about
two-thirds of the year.


A. A. MADISON is nominated for
postmaster at Union Springs, Ala

Gen. Ord was before the House
Committee on Military Affairs to-
day, advocating the. passage of
Senator Maxey's bill, which pro-
vides for the erection of more
suitable military posts for the pro
lection of the Rio Grande frontier.
The committee appear disposed to
report a bill favorably, and are now
in communication with the Secretary
of War as to the best methods of
complying with the provisions
thereof.


The Peter Committee met this
morning and Immediately went into
secret session. The Chairman read
a letter from DR.. Green, President
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. A few comments were
made upon the explanation therein
given and with regard to its publi-
cation before being received by the
committee. The Democrats have no
more witnesses to examine, though
the Republicans wish to summon one
or two.


A caucus of the Republican
Senators was held to-day. The
purpose of the signers Of the call
was to secure the assignment of
some early date for action upon the
Corbin-Butler contest. There was
no determination reached. There
was some informal discussion as to
what course should be pursued in
case the amendments providing for
the repeal of Federal Supervisors
and test oath laws are attached by
the House to one of the annual
appropriation bills. Although no
action was taken, the general tenor
of the opinions expressed was to
the effect that an effort to enact
such legislation upon an appropria-
ton bill should be resisted, even to
the extent of causing the bill to
fail.

THE communication on our third
page, on Polygamy," has been de-
layed several days, on account of the
absence of the editor. 1t is from the
pen of an estimable lady, who has
doubtless studied her subject, and is
familiar with the history of the in
famous institutions about which she
writes. Polygamy is crime, and it is
no credit to our government that it
has been pracIiced so long by the Nor
mons, with so little disturbance. 1t is
'onl blot upon our national eseutch-


con, which ought to be removed.

The Ne,c Era calls for legislation to pro-
tect voters from corruptionists. If the Ne,1
Era will examine the Revised Statutes it
will find plenty of legislation of the kind it
calls for. If any legislation is needed it is
not for the punishment of men guilty of bri-
berry, for there is plenty of that already, but
rather to compel such papers as the Neac Era
and other fusion organs in this State to sub
stantiate or withdraw the charges they are
making against half the citizens of Maine.
There hasn't been day since election but
some fusion paper has asserted that the Re-
publican victory was largely due to the open
and shameless bribery ofvoters. Now we ven
ture to assert that the Neac Era, which is
The last paper to repeat this assertion, cannot
prove that one single person throughout the
length and breadth of the State was offered
money for his vote. Yet that paper probably
for weeks to come will continue to allege
that the Republicans secured several thous-
and votes by bribery. If we are wrong and
the Ney Era has evidence that any voter
was bribed its duty is plain. That duty is
something more than to mention the fact
even with feelings of deepest humiliation
and shame.'' 1t should first publish the
names of the guilty parties and then see that
they are presented to the Grand Jury for
Indictment. Unless the New Era is pre-
pared to do this it should withdraw its accu-
sation and confess that it has been guilty OF
making false and scandalous charges against
half the citizens of Maine.

SoLoN CHASE is still repeating the asser-
ton which he made SO many times during
the campaign, that the contest in Maine was
between the owners of funded wealth and
the industries of the country. Such talk is
as false as it is mischievous. The only
foundation for it rests in the incendiary har-
angues of imported western demagogues
and few home products of the same spe-
cies. A party which had at the head OF its
ticket the owner of large wealth which he
was accus omed to let out in sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 at y per cent. inter
est, and whose representative tickets were
made up in part of Democratic bondholders
and bank owners, will find it up hill work
to show that it was par excellence the party

The Supreme Court of California at the May term, 1879, decided the following case relating 10 water rights, viz, Stine Canal Co. cs. Kern Island Irrigating Canal Co. In Aug. 1874, the Kern Island Irrigating Ca nal Go. appropriated portion of the waters of Kern river, and conducted the same by means of canal to the Old South Fork, from which it was taken out lower down the stream, and so continued to do up to about the spring of 1878, when tho waters were conveyed through the canals of the defendant, without uniting the same with the Old South Fork. All of the water companies which are joined as

 plaintiffs, except the Goose Lake Ca nal Co.,, appropriated portions of the waters of Kern river prior to the ap- propriation by the Kern Island Canal Co, and consequently their right to the portions of the water by them re- spectively appropriated is superior to that of the defendant. The right of the defendant is subordinate to that of the plaintiffs, and it is not entitled to divert the waters of the river to such an extent that a sufficient amount thereof will not flow down the river to supply the plaintiffs with their usual quantity. The injunction granted by the District Court ordered modified in accordance with above ruling.

 A question of subterranean water rights was decided in the case of Hale cs McLea. The defendant had diverted the whole body of subter- ranean stream used by plaintiff. The point decided in this case was that the defendant could not exercise any greater rights in respect to the diver sion or use of the waters of the sub terranean stream flowing across his land to the spring of the plaintiff, than if he had been an upper and the plaintiff lower riparlan owner on surface stream flowing across their respective lands. The defendant can only claim as much water as he needs for his cattle and for domestic pur- poses, leaving the surplus to flow to the spring of the plaintiff in its nat ural channel. But the defendant here exceeded his rights by diverting the whole body of the water from it's nat ural channel

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore 1t will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no matter. how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these: it is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more. Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.

Our Phoenix dispatch is surprise in that it announces the death of King s. Woolsey, man widely known in Arizona and one supposed to have been in the enjoyment of sound health. He has emphatically pioneer, and man of energy and ambition both financially and politi- cally How his estate will foot up will not likely be known till after an official appraisement, but he always conducted business on a pretty large scale in stock raising and farming, and latterly in grinding grain and dealing in flour. His polii!cal aspir- ations made him the subject of some severe public comment, but however much of il may have been based on facts it must be said that King s. Voolsey led an industrious and enter prising life, and was always popular in his own county when test of popularity was tried with another at the polls. Our knowledge of him was not of an intimate character, but we feel justified in saying that few men in Arizona were truer to her welfare, more jealous in building up the Territory on her natural resour- ces, more attached to it.

New York, July 5th.-The Herald says: The final upshot of the stormy State Convention at Sacramento City indicates that the Democratic party of California will maintain its seper- ate organization, but makes it i'm probable that it will carry the State. California is more nearly in a con- dition of political chaos than any other State iH the Union. It is so bedeviled with Kearneyism, and so split up into factions, founded on wild crotchets, that outsiders can take little interest in the confusing squabbles. The election of Members of Congress in California is the only thing in the coming contest which is of any particular concern to the country at large. But the politics of the State are in so distracted q con dition the two Democratic members of last Congress are likely enough to he replaced by Nationals, or men of some odd political stripe.
