WE are rejoiced to hear that some of the officials at Camp Pinal have expressed a purpose to kill somebody, notwithstanding they propose to make the proprietor of TIE CITIZEN their first victim. The office of this paper is in the same building it has ever bcen-at the northwest corner of the church plaza. If the proprietor be not in the threatened job, he can be readily found upon inquiry. It may be we'll enough for the Pinai sWiil-tubs and squicts to hurry up, as we are liable any week oprint some more truths about that post.

The journal of Commerce replies


TO the question Of q correspondent
"What proportion Of those who sue


eSod in acquiring compe tency in


businesss pursuits ultimately retain
~" The editor says that of those


who engage in business on their OWE
accoHDt only threo oat of hundred
Escape failure, and only Ave out of q


hundred succeed in avoiding an
entire collapse of their first effort.
OF those who at some time or
other have in hand reason
able competence, and may be
said to have succeeded in business,
ninety per cent. are still the subjects
Of after TeSerses Of somo sort, so that
only teH por cent. Of the successful
ones keep their for tune unshaken.
No two things, tho journal thinks,
should be more STRONGLY impressed
upon the young men of our codntry
than the insecurity Of riches, even
when acquired, and their unsatisfying
character. There is no fallacy so uni
versally cherished as the notion that
wealth is surely means of happiness.
The care Of large property is one of
the most burdensome Of earthly
trusts. The only material good which
comes of any estate, the writer re-
marks, is to be made out of mode
rats income far more easily than
from large one, and With fewer at
teHdaht disadvantages. The enjoy
mcut in the dispensation of bounty is
sadly marred by the judicious care
required in the selection of the recip-
tents. The man who is earning
good living with something to spare
ANNUALLY for the sweet uses Of charity
is far less tried in this respect.

1t has been estimated by a gentle:
man of much experience that the
wheat that will pass over the Chesai
peake and Ohio railroad will in Q
short time feooh tho netghborhood Of
twenty millions Of bushels. That is
something to consider with wonder.
What shall be done with it will be
the inquiry. Well our own mills
have capacity of some six million
bushels per annum, and with an in
crease Of milling power such Us this
great enlargement of our trade would
induce, we can see that tho better
part of this large aggregate will BID
turned into -four in this. oity. We
ought certainly to grind up three mil4
lions Of barrels of -four per annum in
five or six years from now. That
would dispose of fifteen millions Of
bushels of wheat.--Rtchmond Dis:

AhC


The House proceeded in the considera.
ton of the Ku-Klux bill.


-E Beck.


Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, speaking OF
TIE bill, said: The bantling of the Presi.
dent after a barbarous incubation has
been Matched and was now before them
to destroy the rights of the State and the
people, and to put into the hands of the
President, unless the bill shall be killed
here, omnipotent power everywhere.
This bill would make the President dicts-
tor of the country over the liberties of the
people. Those who aided and abetted
tie bill would become more odious than
the Ku-Klux desperadoes of the South.
The pretext for the passage of this bill
was to afford cause for cry of war,
murder and Ku-Klux so as to divert the
people from thinking of the extravaganza,
the class legislation and the bond, lands
and railroads swindles.


Blair, of Michigan.


Mr.. Blair, of Michigan, thought it was
not law that was wanted, but the execu-
ton of the law. The enforcement bill
seemed comprehensive enough to meet
the emergency, but the President was no
usurper, and the clamor about danger
was merely made to help the Democratic
party.


Fernando wood.


Fernando Wood denounced the bill as
making the President lawless dictator
responsible to no one. Congress had
higher duty to perform than sgitate sub
jects like this. 1t is the duty of Con
gress to provide for the reduction of tax
alton and public expenditures; to abolish
sinecure offices; to restore the currency
to a specie basis; TO reduce the army to
peace footing; to provide against the &C
cumulation and retention of large sums
of money in the public Treasury; to pre-
vent the purchase and sale of the public
credit by the Secretary of the Treasury
at his own option; to bring the President
and his cabinet advisors under the Su-
thority of law, to make them obedient to
its provisions and alike with others sub
iecl to penalties; to restore the Southern
States and people to peace and prosper
lty and contentment, which will only be
accomplished by the cessation of vindic
tive legislation and military Interference,
and the recognition of their equal rights,
including government and political
equality with the other States and peo-
pie; and to revive American commerce.


MISUNDERSTANDING


Mr.. Maynard read an article from the
Chattanooga Times of March 3, 1871,
which said: ''Now no person pretends TO
dery that crimes and outrages are commit
ted Ill the South by organized bodies of
masked marauders some of whom belong
TO the secret political society of Ku-
Klux" Maynard said this admission
came from a friend of the gentleman on
the other side.


Eldridge charged Maynard with having
cut the article in two and then read. The
entire article was in substance that the
outcry of outrsges by Ku Klux was
simply pretext to station troops in the
South so as to carry the Presidential cleo
ton by force for the Republican party,
etc.

The experience of the most successful
business men supplies but one answer
to this question, and that is, constantly.
Notoriety is condition of success in all
employments which demands the sup
port OF the public; and there is no way
in which this notoriety can be so surely
gained, As by advertising. When trade
is dull, advertise. When the blood in
the human body is sluggish, brisk cxer-
else is resorted to, to quicken it. When
the public appetite for your wares is
dull, stimulate it by recital OF their
flavor and richness. A man may be
made hungry by hearing an eloquent de-
scription of "good things" which mo-
ment before he had not a wish for.
Moreover, the fundamental principles of
keeping your name and your business
before the people, have special force in
dull seasons. When trade is brisk, ad-
yerise. III the oil regions, when new
well is discharging a comparatively lib
eral stream, the owners bore into it, and
double the oleaginous volume. So when
customers are coming in crowds, "bore
into them with advertisements, and
you will treble their numbers.

the seven-mile level, between New Viii

Radical Adjustment OF the fOurtn


of July.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l


The way the Fourth of July was eele-
brated by the Grant Administration at
Washington is thus told in o special tel
egram TO the Times and Chronicle:


"WAsHNaToN, July 5.-No observance
whatever of the National holiday was
had here to-day. Not even National
salute was fred from the Navy Yard.
No bags were displayed on the public
buildings"


Not q salute fred, not even flag dis
played in honor OF the old Fourth, by
the Grant authorities at Washington
We stated some time ago that it looked
as if the Radical managers wanted the
Fourth Of July discarded as National
holiday and new one substituted in
its place that would represent the new
order of things-say the day that Lee
surrendered at Appomattox. The prin-
ciples OF 1776 CRATE harshly on the new
departure, and make sad company with
those OF modern sham Republicanism


Gen. Grant would have q personal
motive in having the Fourth Of July dis
carded and the day substituted Oh which
he gained so much renown, while the
country could not have recalled to its
memory principles and sentiments so at
variance with those which the Repubh-
can managers are working to have the
people adopt. And we have no doubt,
if Grant were reelected President, the
Fourth of July would, at the close of his
second term, have ceased to be regarded
by the Federal authorities as q National
holiday altogether. They made o fair
start in that direction ON the Fourth
just past. All they want is time, to
nholish IL altooether.
