Judge Rush in his remarks in the court house on Tuesday evening, referred to the duty of citizens politically. and we were glad that he held to the same doctrine we always have regarding party obligations in the Territories. He regarded mans political duty higher than party obli- gations or even personal friendship. Ter rItorles nave no power to influence nation al politics; no vote to influence Congress men, nor Presidents or aspiring ones. Ter ritories are very dependent upon the party in power at Washington, yet not having power to strengthen up that party, it is a matter of little difference to it what politi- cal results are shown at Territorial elec- tions. It is reasonable however that a Delegate in sympathy with the ruling ad- ministration, should have more influence than one who is not. A Delegate who should be elected upon contest made Ip mostly of opposition to the ruling admin istration, would very naturally not meet with that cordial welcome and favor that one would whose canvass had been made in defense and support of it. In any way it can be viewed, there is not enough to be gained by eIecting Delegate on strictly party basis to justify doing it; and we may say the same of making a choice of county officers and members of the Legis- 4ature. And this seems to be the judg- tnent of the people of Arizona, for with but few exceptions, all attempts to elect officers on strict party platform, have been failures; especially is this true with reference to Delegate to Congress, for in Arizona not one has been elected as par tisan, although several have tried to be-

 Judge Rush has had some experience in this line and although he made very creditabIe run, he failed. He has had eX- perience in public affairs and his positive declaration that voters political duty is above party obligation, is entitled to re- spect. This view is so strong among the masses even of the Democracy of Arizona, that they decline to enter into thorough organization when invited in fair and earnest manner to do it. When Arizona becomes State, then the propriety and perchance advantage of strict party organ isation and action will be acknowledged.

We give il up. There was a chance
that the next House of Representatives
would not be Radical That chance
is gone. The outbreaks in Kentuck =
and the massacre in Tennessee settled
that much No people. no party, could
stand under such load as the people
of the South and the Democratic party
of the North are forced to carry. Call
it what you will-the fruit of re
construction. the fault of the party
in power, the inevitable conflict of
races, precipitated by bad theory OF
government, executed 10 vicious
practice-the one effect eft the whole
mess of violence is a continuance and
re enforcement of the old pretext by
which the country has been carried
nlong the same baleful, partisan rut
ever since the war.


There is no use writing, talking,
speaking, arguiying, contradlcting,
proving. as long as the bloody sum-
total, recorded within the last fort
night. goes out to the world unchal-
lenged by adequate redress. The
Gibson county butchery surpasses be-
lief; and, through the Governor Of
Tennessee has done his full duty, the
gallows can alone render atoI emeut
commensurate with the public expccta-
ton. 1t is hardlylikely that any body
is going to be hung. The result will
be renewed legislation, additional
Radical enactments; perhaps ulti
mately, martial law.

is the more likely to be the ultra, mar
tiallaw candidate for re election, back
ed by faneied military necessities, sup
ported by the machine work of power,
and carried upon the passions of Rad
icalism. There was show for the
defeat of the civil rights bill, or its
veto. That is gone, like the control
of the next House. and the prospect
is back with the ruin of conservative
hopes


1t is we'll to be plain. As surely as
the South begins to get Ou in its feet do
its madmen proceed to kick the fat in
the fire. The Radicals only want pre-
texts. The South supplies them. A
war, or the appearance of a war, of
races seems inevitable; and that is
itself a third term under proscriptive
auspices. That is the road to the over
throw of the republican government,
but chiefly at the expense of the
South.

T4E USE TO BE MADE OF IT.-The
New Yord Herald gives evidence OF
its correct understanding of the pur


pose for which the present disturbances
in the South are fermented, in the fol-
lowing: "The war of races in the
South is for future use in Congress.
Every Radical who is beaten for Office
will contest the seat of the man elected,
and then produce the war of races in
evidence that there was not fair elec.

" a pernicious pretext which in the ewes

at par. The alternative presented was to
continue the contraction and bring the
currency and the debts to a gold basis.
Doubtless it is important to reach specie

occasion to be inopportune in respect to
themselves. 1t was a point which they
were obliged to consider to some extent in

the currency were really redundant, SO as
to endanger rapid depreciation and great
fluctuations in value, the case might have
turned upon strictly financial principles

GREAsING OF AxLEs.-The Canada
Farmer gives the following directions:
"Many a wheel is ruined by oiling too
plentifully. A well made wheel will
endure constant wear from ten 10
twenty years ifcare is taken to use
the right kind and proper amount
of oil but If this matter is not attend
ed to. the wheel will be used up IN
five or six years, or it may be sooner.
Lard should never be used on wag,
on, for it will penetrate the hub and
work its way around the lemons OF
the spokes and spoil the wheel.
Castor oil is good material for use
on an axle; just oil enough should be
applied to a spindle to give it light
coating ; this is better than more, tor
the surplus that you use will work
out at the ends and be forced by the
shoulders and nut into the hub around
the outside of the boxes. To oil IN

with cloth saturated with turpen

off the back and front ends OF tn,

quantity of castor oil, or more espec

At Big Creek, Arkansas, they have

house and became quite intimate.
One evening he was fooling around
one of the girls, generally trying the
extent of her sweet temper, when she
gave his whiskers pull and ran. He
followed. She got the table between
them. He chased her around il
several times. When out of breath
he stopped on the other side, and
making a wild plunge, caught her
in his arms and gave her a hearty
kiss. She then sat down on the sofa,
and they talked pleasantly for q
couple of hours, he thinking it singu

make an outcry, and then her loving
and much tobacco consuming father
would rise in his wrath aud carve
him into outlets, and brothers would

must be strategic. He must put her
off. So he said:

she went to her room and he went to
