! The people of the Florence land district in general, must be pleased.at the prospect of soon having new or ticials to deal with in their local land office It is useless to say any thing more about the retiring officers, but a few remarks of many which could be made touching their official action, are in order The past administration has, as we are told by various parties who have been obliged to ascertain the facts, permitted filing upon filing on the same tract without due cbsery- ance of the lawful regulations govern ing such eases, and thus misled in nocent parties greatly to their detri- men, A. Carrillo was permitted to file a preemptiOn and homestead claim on the Camp Lowell military reserva- tion, right in the face of law, regula- tions and court decisions against such filing, and Mir C. says he was charged $40 for the privilege which, if true and the filings lawful, was at least $l0 too much. Not long since a Mr. Smith had occasion 10 write to the Register for information, the giving of which is lawfully enjoined upon land officers, and in the reply he is told that being in possession, he has nine points in law, and if his gun is good, he ought to secure the other point. Perhaps there is nothing criminal % unlawful in reply of this kind, bat it is not the kind expected nor such as an oblig- ing and properly disposed officer would have given. These are but al few of many rightful objections tol the past administration of that office

 New officers are appointed and will doubtless soon enter upon their duties and if they do so in the true spirit of the law and regulations, they will have the cordial appreciation of theI public generally.

In another column will be found an extract from an article in the Banker Magazine, which sets forth the views of that eminent authority on the sub ject of the precious Hletal supply for this and the coming years. The gen eral conclusion there reached is that many of the fields heretofore relied upon for the production of gold and silver are likely to fail in their annual yield, and that the woFld must turn to other sources to meet is requirements in that direction. To Arjzoua this news is similar in importance to that when Kansas should hear that .hc other great wheat growing States were likely to grow but a half crop, or when il should be announced to the south that India would produce no cotton: or to Louisiana that Cuba would manufacture but little sugar. II inSures attention to those districts which are reported tc hold the means of supplying the demands of men for gold and silver; and certainly no as yet untried country has more general reputation for the possession of i'm mense deposits of this wealth than Arizona. With these factors to labor for us, there is little room to doubt that Arizona will get a fair tnal of its powers in the good time which is drawing on.

The Mining and Scientific Press notes the return of Prof W. P. Blake from trip to Arizona and gives some of the Professors opinions which are true and correct, and some which he doubtless intended to be true. The difficulty the Professor labOred under in speaking about Arizona is that he saw but a small portion of it and that bv no means the best part. He went to Castle Dome and saw good mines and returned. After seeing less than a hundredth part of the Territory he as stunned to speak as if he had seen it all. Professors of Yale and other colleges are educated and bright men. but any Arizona bullwhacker can tell them more facts about the capacities and condition of the land and mines than they are ever liable co learn hy their own uncuidCd efforts

PnOENIX, June This afternoon q Mexican, well mounted and armed with an old cavalry sabre four feet long, madly dashed through Main street, slashing right and left, and very badly wounded three men, To-day is a holiday for farmers and all men on ranches were in town. A horse race down Main street had just ended when a crowd of some 200 men gathered in the street to talk over the result. The Mexican, who is said to be averaging the death of brother while engaged in robbing a stage below Tucson some time since, selected the moment when the crowd was largest, taking a start of 100 yards, to get under headway and dashed through the crowd with the above result. Officers started in pursuit, but the Mexican stands good chance of escaping. The wounded men are doing well.

 Travellers into the Territory, fire. qucntly speak of the difficulty they

 have in deciding what to bring with them in the way of clothing, ct cetera.

 It is really a very simple matter, when one recollects that Arizona is a part of the United States, and that it is simply "a portion of trra fymo, where loco motion is accomplished in the same manner as elsewhere. If one is com ing to Arizona to remain but a short time, at this season of the year. he should wear and bring with him just such an outfit as would suit com mcrcial traveller in the States. If further clothing is needed here il can be bought in our stores as well as any where; except that in the matter of boots and shoes, recent inquiries have proven that the sizes here do not run higher than number thirteens. To those who come Co stay, We say, bring all you have, from corduroys to claw hammers; every thing that is worn any where is worn here. We dress up Sundays; wear our common clothes on weeks days, and when we go about among the mines pretty much any thing does. Ladies should not forget their hat boxes, and they will find the Paris styles on hand to meet them. We be brethren and OUT manners and GUS toms are like unto yours.

UNDER the discipline of Judge For ter the Peck mine and mill people on both sides seem to be attaining con siderable degree of subordination to the orders of the courts. Both parties maintain an armed force, and when ever either is allowed to take posses sion of the property it is done with a great show of vigor and intention to resist anything like nonsense from the enemy-except upon the order of the court Probably for the purpose of exercising the hostiles in the virtues of patience and forbearance, the Court, every few days, gives the one party an opportunity to succeed the other; and as neither side is able to understand the matter, both fall into state of be wilderment, and complete obedience to orders is the result. AS with soldiers, the duty of litigants is to obey.

INTENSE INTEREST MANIFESTED OVER THE
GREAT WALKING MATCH AT PHILADELPHIA.


(BY TELEGRAPH TO TIE HERALD.]


PHILADELPHIA March 15 1870.
The greatest interest is manifested in this city in
the result Of the walking match at Gilmore's Gar
den. The streets down town are crowded with
people The newspaper Offices are surrounded
by eager inquirers, who scan the bulletin boards
with noisy demonstrations Of interest The street in
front OF the Philadelphia Office of the HERALD is
blocked by an anxious assemblage waiting for the
special kilograms from New York, and the posting of
every fresh bulletin is hailed with cheers. The pub
lie curiosity is remarkable. and the scene in the
streets is only paraeled by that witnessed on elec
ton nights One would suppose that the fate of the
nation depended upon the result Of the walking
match.

Say for instance. that the walkers give ten-hour

could be done for US? Do we expect in 8
revelation intended to save US in time, an
explanation of all the facts of the past
eternity? Does any man suppose We could
comprehend these things? We do not un-
derstand God; must We necessarily know
more of Satan before We believe in hi8 per-

things, before We will consent to accept His
Word without struggling our shoulders as if
it we're almost too hard to believe? l sus-

ecclesiastical proceedings in the vicinity Of


Cincinnati, aud the participants therein; and


We hope that all the futare performances Of


the ''freer, looser, and more generous SCHOOL,


will end, as Professor Morris anticipates they


will, and as that happily did, in vindicsting


the "substantial principles embodied in our


pohty' and "the Scriptural validity of our
system" Yet, to locker on, it would sp-


pear that the Church would save itself from


trouble by so laying down the old land
marks, and tightening the free, the loose,
and the generous, beforehand, that they
would not have so much power to do mischief.


In view of this article from representa-
tive of one very large and important mem
Der of the Alliance, We are ready to ask,
concerning this great Catholic and CoSmo-
polissn Convention, with It's first and prom
iSing magazine, and We borrow and italicize
the words of Professor Morris concerning the
re united Church of the Northern United
States, "But will such harmony be con-
tinued There is room for the question
whether such free admission of differences is
possible without impairing the ~mity and in
tegrity, the belief and temper of the body"
We hope as he does in regard to the one
Union, that the other and larger will be in
fuentisl in checking latitude of opinion
where such latitude is in danger of changing
into license" and this, after reading his
piece, We fear more than we fear his other
alternative, "tyrannical unfriendliness to
freer thought" Freer charity and freer &C.
tivity in our religion is always to be desired
and prayed for, but freer thought" in
theology founded upon the unchangeable
Word of God is suspicious; if it means any
thing, it means something that infringea upon
new revelation, or new sentiment that is
wise above what is written.


Between fidelity to the doctrines held and
represented by the Alliance, and the captiOus
spirit which is ready to find fault With it, it
ia difficult, in criticism of this sort, to pur-
sue the golden path. We disown the latter.
We honor the institution and cordially sym
pathize in its spirit and its objects. Its edi-
tors have our full and hearty confidence, and
nothing that is written here proceeds from
any distrust of their wisdom or their ability.
The highest exercise of these qualities will
not always shield them from danger, and it
would be most ungengous to balance them
in a case like this where the dilemma was on
many accounts almost unavoidable. But
error is dangerous unless truth is left free to
combat it. A COUNTRY PASTOR.

Love of God.

No better, no simpler definition of faith
has been given than that of the late Horace
Bushnell: sit is an act whereby one person,
sinner, commits himself to another person,
Saviour" If we lost our way and met
with trustworthy guide, we know what it
means to trust ourselves to his knowledge
and guidance We know what it is to have
our children trust themselves to our wisdom
and love. 1t is just the same, this religious
faith; We commit ourselves lost and ignor-
ant, to one who loves US, and knows, even to
Christ; what princes and peasants must do,
if they want the pardon and the adoption
and. the eternal ble8seiness.


- Two incidents are before US showing
this faith in God and Christ, which are worth
producing at all tines. A young girl in
Boston, the daughter of one of the weslthiest
men there, being about to marry, asked her
father to let her wedding be as quiet as pos
aible, aud to give her the money that would
have been spent in flowers, wine, etc. With
this money she gave q certain sum to the
poor Of each city which she visited on the
wedding journey. She had the blessing of
the hungry and naked strewed along her
path instead of roses. A short time since
the Wedding Of one Of the greatest cspiteliats
of New York city vas marked by as beauti-
full and touching an incident. One of the
gifts of the bride was the sending of one
hundred orphan boys to homes in the West.
