only the very remarkable unlikeness that
he was victorious and that they were
defeated-a trifle in the eyes of phil
osophical and highly constitutional
Democrat, but somewhat in the
eyes of practical man-but
the are others which seem to
have a high moral and political
significance. He fought against the
rule of Government in which he and
his countrymen had no voice; they
fought against Government in which
they had more than their just proper
ton of representation, and which they
had controlled almost ever since it was
established. He fought for principles,
and upon policy which brought about
the Union of these States and the for
nation of the Great Republic which is
now one of the great powers of the
world, and one of the beneficent agen-
cies of civilization and human progress;
they fought to break up that Union, to
destroy that Republic, and to establish
a society and Government based upon

When his wars were over, he retired in
the flush of victory into private life,
and sought no public employment until
the voice of whole nation summoned
him to its head; they, defeated in the
field, began at the earliest day possible
to them to scramble back into public
life, and to strive to get, by hook or by
crook, control of the Government by
which they were defeated. He, for
his services in all the years during
which he served his country, ac-
cepted only his actual official expenses;
they soon began to plot the extortion
from that country of the expenses of
their rebellion. The likeness between
them is a verbal point, from which
diverge, at a wide angle that spans the
whole heaven of morals, the lines
which we are called upon to accept as
parallels. If there ever we're men who
were unlike in motive, in spirit, and in
all the springs and modes of their ac-
ton, those men are the venerated
patriot and almost spotless man whose
birthday was made the occasion Of this
comparison and the rebel Brigadiers
with whom he was compared. 1t may
suit the Democratic managers to at
tempt to impose them upon the world
as men of like character and purposes;
well-meanlng administration may
make the conformity of Jefferson Davis
and his military chiefs to George Wash
ington, the test of its sagacity and the
measure of its political skill; but to
convince the mass of the people that
they spent their blood and treasure to
defeat an army of men like him who
was first in peace, and first in war, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen, is


about the most hopeless task that was

and throw hot shot into the camp Of
the Brigadiers as he did into the ranks
of the Rebel armies after these same
Brigadiers had reused his patriotic ire
by hauling down and trampling upon
the American flag. We believe that
General Bragg has the pluck and the
nerve to stand bravely for the right,
even if he stands alone; ard that he will
soon stand alone we have as little doubt.
If he elects to sustain policy in con-
nict with the views of the Southern wing
of the Democratic party, he will soon
find himself outside the Democratic
camp, and his proper place will be in
the Republican party with the senti-

 1, the DAILY MORNING HERALD will make it's appearance in the city o1 Phoenix. The establishment of a live daily paper in this growing town will be an important event, as it will disseminate the news of this section to the outside world six days instead of two as at present. The aim of the publishers will be to give their readers a live. bright paper, contain ing the latest telegraphic news from all parts of the world, up to an early hour in the morning Its local col umns will be filled with all the events occurring up to the hour of gong to press, thus the reader will have all the news of importance be- fore he partakes of his first meal. The issuing of morning daily in CUTS great expense and labor. It throws the hours of labor into the night. It requires more help, and the necessary expense of. artificial light, yet with all these things taken into consideration, we feel confident it will be a successful venture. In reviewing the past twenty months, since the HERALD was weekly, we have found that we have been unable to fully set before our numerous readers full and complete record of transpiring events Our columns, both as a weekly and semi weekly, were continuously crowded with ad vertisements to such an extent that reading matter was necessarily crowded out. In connection with the DAILY we will issue large nine. column WEEKLY HERALD, contain ing all the news of the week, to be sent abroad, and 10 accommodate those who can only get their mail once week. Both papers will be the largest nublished in the Terri tory, and will contain the largest amount of fresh news. Items from all parts of the Territory will be found in its columns.

party Of that description on North B street
which didn't come Off A lady who desired
to give little entertainment made The usual
preparations and invited number OF guests.
She illuminated the parlors and left the
blinds open, that the glare Of the gas might
light the weary traveller on the street. This
was her grand mistake. About 8 o'clock q
couple came up to the house, and the young
lady, looking In the window and see
ing the parlors empty, insisted on returning
home, as she would not for all the world do
such vulgar thing as to enter house where
there was not q big room full OF people to
LOOK at her. The two accordingly returned
home. In few minutes another couple re-
conpoitered the situation from across the
street and retired. One after another the.
guests came up, viewed the empty parlors
and melted back into the darkness. There
was no party, and the lady who had prepared
the entertainment didn't know what to make
OF such shabby treatment. This idea OF try
ing to be the last one at an evening party is
growing to be 80 common on the Comstock
