To my naked soul he spake
And pointed up to a tall, pearl gate

FIERCE CONTEST PROBABLE BETWEEN MR.. RAN


DALI, Mr.. sAYLER, AND Mr.. Cox-ITs INFLU-


ENCE ON TIE NEXT HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, NoV. 2O.-The prize Of the Speaker
ship Is not going to drop into Mr.. Sayler's hands
withant an effort on his part to secure it. His
service as Speaker pro tem last session gives him
certain prestige but dogs not yield him the advan-
tages of possession, fohs temporary honors ceased
when Congress adjourned, and the House will be
called to order by the Clerk on Monday week. Mr..
Sayer has sort of negative popularity in the South
and West, and appears to have the best chance
of success Mr. Randall will be his chief competitor
He was the hero of the penny-wise policy OF the
last session. and the resolute way in which he stuck
to his economies won him the admiration Of his
party. Mr.. Cox will also enter the lists As he made
Mr.. Kerr Speaker year AGO. he thinks he ought to
have the support of Kcrr's friends now. But Cox
lost the respect of the Northern Democrats by his
marked subserviency to the Southern members, and
his course does not appear to have gained him any
increased strength with that element so that
il is doubtful whether he will muster any more
votes than he had last Winter. He may be strong
enough, however, to hold the balance of power and
TO throw the victory into the hands of one or the
other OF the principal competitors. The approach
ing session is short that ii might be supposed that
no one would care TO make fight for the office, and
probably the Cincinnati member would be allowed
to possess the chair in peace if it were not evident
that n regular election now would give him so
strong hold upon the next House that no rival
could shake him off unless he committed great
bunders. The contest next month will therefore
be a struggle for the Speakership in the new Con-
ress-if indeed it does not turn out that the Demo
Gratis have lost the next House.

IpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI


WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The military furry has
pretty much subsidized after furnishing material for
MANY columns of dispatches to the sensational news
papers. The seven companies of artillery have got
their quarters fixed up In comfortable shape, ana
obviously have for supposing that they are
going to STAY. A few more companies are expected
enough in al to run up the effective force OF the
little army of observation to 1000 or 1.2OO men.
II will not be increased beyond this, at least
not for the present so it is stated at the War De-
partment but there no doubt that the possibility
Of larger force being needed has been fully consd-
cred and preparations made to meet any emergency
which may arise. Among the many reasons as
signed for the hasty and mysterious summonlng OF
troops to Washington, one which has found much
eedence is that the Government has information OF
the existence of secret societies in Baltimore sworn

he should be elected. Inquiry in that city to-day
developed nothing tending to confirm these reports
Republicans and Democrats there alike dscredlt
them. If such societies exist, their members must
be few in number and not of class likely to create
sny disturbance of the peace more dangerous than
barroom brawl. A good deal of bitter and threaten
inc talk may be heard in hotels ana other public
places in that city, but it does not differ in kind or
quantity from that of similar places in New-Y0rk
where Democratic politicians assemble.

The editor of the Lynchburg Neaos, who
is himself man of prayers and processes

ridicule the Cincinnati Convention from the
fact OF its having been opened with prayer,
and followed with q sneer at christian
statesmen" in general. But it seems the

sort of superstition, like the idolatrous
Athenians, in regard to the subject, and
doubtless thinking that what was good for
the Republicans would do them no harm,
did also open their exercises with petition
ITO the unknown God" All very well so
far, but to carry out the Cincinnati pro-
gramme and present to the nation Chris
tian statesman of genuine, undoubted, uu
assumed piety was not in their disposition
or power. The senti nents of Gov Hayes,
expressed in his speech TO his home people,
who assembled without regard to party
affiliations to congratulate him after the
nomination, could only spring from pure.
Christian heart, and give the assurance to
every Christian in the land that in him we
shall have President who will govern in
the full realization and belief in the Divine
declaration that righteousness exalteth
nation, and who will bring to his aid the
guidance and blessing of the Supreme Ruler
of the universe, regardless of the sneers of
Democratic politicians.


The Ne'os editor, as is very apparent by
the tone of his writings, his expressions
and declarations, does not believe in mixing
his religion with his politics, holding the
two to be incompatible with each other, as,
we must admit they necessarily are on his
side of the fence. His party will need the
prayers of just such consistent Christians
as Gov. Hayes to save them from the fate
to which their unscrupulous and hypocrit-
ical course is leading them.

It is not pleasant to have to record the misdeeds of prominent citizens, but when they go about the town on horseback and attempt to convert other peoples places of business into horse stables by riding in and taking possession, they become violators of the law and deserve to be punished

 The parties who indulged in this sort of amusement on "Wednesday, to the great an noyance of peaceable people, were allowed by the officers to have their own way longer than there was any apparent reason for, but when they did start in they did the job up very neatly. We thought at one time Joe knott's mari was going to get away with him but Joe stayed with him until his official authority was recognized and obeyed.

BROKE JAIL.-On Tuesday night Charles James and John Morrison, two of the horse thieves who stole Miller's horses month ago and were caught and lodged in jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, man. aged to escape by saving of a hewn log in the floor and digging under the south wall cf the building. coming out under the Court House stairs, through a hole that looks as if it would be impossible to squeeze man through. The log had been sawed off with some dull instrument, in two places, ena- bling them to take out block some eigh- teen inches in length, leaving a hole in the floor that long by some ten inches wide. The digging had been done with a sharp stick by way of a pick, and tin plate had served as shovel. Under-Sheriff Standifer and others searched the hills in all direc- tions but no traces of the missing men have been found. They have probably grown weary of the laws delay and gone to report at Yuma.

We pumped him little on the question of the census and sectional feeling which some of the people of his County are stirring up just now, and elicited answers somewhat as fol- lows: He said he was not candidate to represent Pima County, nor Yavapai. but the whole Territory, and wanted no one to vote for him with the expectation that he should favor their section of the Territory more than any other. He disclaimed all connection with the fillibustering movement Tn Tucson to deprive us of representation in the Legislature according to our population. and declared that whatever his interest may pe' either now or In future, will have no in- huence upon his action as Delegate.

 We have not heard from his opponents on this point, but presume they occupy the same ground, at any rate it seems to us to be the correct view for any one to take who assumes to represent the whole people: unless he shall become thoroughly con. vinced during his travels that the people of his County are committing a great wrong. and that this County really has all the popn, latlon she claims and more, as he probably VIII, and in that case We shall expect to hear him tell them so, and advise them to ground the arms of their unholy warfare.
