Governor A. F. k. Safiord and J. S Yes burg, Esq. are in town ca yOsse to Mohave County, where the law makes it the duty of the Governor to go once a year and visit the schools. That duty was performed in this County in May, and he is now hurryirg on in order to reach Tucson in time to issue his Election proclamation, provided the Secre- tary makes the apportionment. Some of our people have had the erroneous opinion that he had some duty to perform in connec- hon with the apportionment, which is a mis- fake. His duties are plain, well defined, and there need be no fear that he will shrink from their performance. If every officer aid bis duty as faithfully as Governor Saf- lord does his, we should now have our rights, and candidates would be in the field o represent us in the Territorial Legislature.

Washington Special to the New York Tribune.


An anecdote, authenticated by one o
the most prominent members of the
House, shows more than anything thai
has occurred lately, phase in the char.
acter OF General Grant which is remark
able-remarkable for stolidity, indiffer
ence or self-control. When Belknal
called at the White House yesterday
morning at ten o'clock, the President
had on his overcoat and had his hat in
his hand. He was ready to go to an art
ist for q sitting. General Belknap
greatly affected, told such part of his
story as he vouchsafed to the President,
and handed the latter his resignation
The President also showed great feeling,
but he took a sheet of paper, wrote upon
it the acceptance of his resignation,
signed it, folded it, and handed 1t to Mr..
Belknap, who took it and departed The
President at once took his hat, walked
down the avenue to the studio of the art
ist who is painting his portrait, and sat
for an hour and half while the
artist traced his features and their
expression on the canvas. The artist
says he saw no difference In the Presi-
dents looks or actions, and the Presi-
dent himself since expressed surprise
that anybody should think otherwise
and yet he has said, since the develop
ments Of yesterday, that no event of his
administration had overwhelmed him
so much as the fall of Mr.. Belknap and
his wife.

MINERAL PARK, February 26.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: The public school opened here on Monday, the Fist in stant, under the charge of Richard R. Banker, an able and experienced teacher from Wisconsin. Washing tons birthday was celebrated in this locality with considerable spirit. On that day, the first bar of bullion was cast at the mill. egg nog and cham paigne flowed like water and all hands were happy. In the evening a grand ball was given by Mir. Jas. P. Bull, and Q more pleasant and enjoyable f. me was never known in the Park.

 The mill is running night and day on Keystone ore. The Keystone mine now employs a large number of miners, and much fine ore Is being taken out of it. Teams are busy day after day hauling ore from this mine through the town to the mIll. The dis tsnce from the Keystone to the mill is about half 8 mile, the mine being at lone end of the town and the mill at the other. The hauling is easy, as it is down hill all the way. Most of the miners employed here are Corn ishmen, and every stage arriving drops two or three more of the same class of hard working and thrifty men. Mir. James Pheeby, formerly of Idaho, is now foreman of the Key stone.

 T. J. Christy has resumed work on the Metallic Accident claim, and will soon have the same in shape to work quite Q large number of men. Although the lead of this mining claim Is small, the ore is very Iich, the richest perhaps in the county, | and it certainly has paid the owner wonderful dividends, considering that it has been worked but little over 8 year. Heretofore MT. Christy has shipped the ore to San Francisco, but he will now have 1t worked here. The last lot shipped,-some eight or nine tons, ,-netted several thousand dollars.

 Strangers are daily arriving and our population IS increasing rapidly.

Hon. Geo. w. Julian, the we'll known
liberal republican of Indiana, speaks
words of very cold comfort to those who
hope the republican party under Hayes
would be more honest than 1t is under
Grant. Unfortunately, says Mr.. Julian.
no such reformation can be effected


while the great leader of the party in
Indiana and the right hand man of the
administration tells US that the party
has no need OF it, and that the men who
ask for reformation are worse criminals
than the thieves they wish TO expose

The reputation thas attained, in consequence of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every

known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried acknowledged its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis

This medicine gains friends at every trial as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-

without it, and those who have once used it
never will.

A late number of the San Francisco
Chronicle has truthful and sensible
article on the value of newspapers to
the locality in which they are pub
lished-which is worthy of perusal by
the residents of every town and village
on the Pacific coast. The local journal
is in truth the representative at large
of its locality. The reader intuitively
and almost without consciousness
that he is doing so, forms notion of
the size of place and its business ac-
tivity from a giancc at the columns of
Its local journal. Nothing so thorough
ly pictures the dullness, enterprise,
prosperity or decline of town as the
columns of its papers. There may not
be word said of decline in business
and depreciation in the value OF pro-
perty, but the fact is as apparent to
the reader as il printed in four line
plea at the head of every column. If
the paper is published in thriving
place with a promising future the
we'll filled advertising columns
and the CHEEKY confident tone of the
articles the clearly defined business
competition and the lively and varied
locals, impress the reader, though a
thousand miles away, with as COM
plete statement of the facts as If he
were present seeing with his own eyes
and hearing with his own ears. The
local newspaper is power to induce
people to visit or avoid place. Some

A gentleman informs us that one of

true that the HERALD strives to be,

ing set our meddlesome and falsify-

The Legislature has devoted some


time to the work of retrenchment and
reform; commencing, it is true, at
the small end of the heap, among the
clerks and porters but doing some
thing in the way of cutting down the
daily outlay even though it is at the
expense of lengthining out the ses-
sion. So far the work in the way of
reducing expenses has been mere tri-
fiing-a letting out at one place while
stopping up another. The people
want something more-something
more tangible-and we offer a sugges-


ton which if acted upon and
the idea carried out will enable the
present Legislature to offer a record
which will be acceptable to the peo-
pie. There is no just reason in the
world why the Penitentiary of this
State should be an expense to the peo-
pie. We believe the annual expense
of the State Prison over and above its
earnings approximates 100000. This
is q large sum to take from the pock-
cts of honest citizens to support crimi-
nails and rogues. There are about
twelve hundred able bodied men con-
fined at San Quinten and but for the
fact that the Prison has long been
used as political machine, it would
be made to earn revenue for in place
of being an expense to the people.
The Penitentiaries of many States
in the Union are more than self sup
porting and with proper management
that of our State could be made to
earn money in place of spending it.
A gentleman of this city informs US
that be will furnish the names of re-
sponsible parties who stand ready to
lease the State Prison for ten years,
give bonds for the safe keeping of the
prisoners and pay the State fifty
thousand dollars per annum. Now if
the Legislation really desires to re-
duce the expenses of the State govern
ment, here is an opportunity to do so.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars per year is quite saving.

There can be daily seen ON our
streets an individual, whose name is
unknown to us, who is afflicted with
a disease of some sort, in comparison
with which the leprosy of biblical
fame is refined purity. His face and
neck are literally one mass of running
putridity. He seems TO wander about
doing nothing, locking into offices,
standing in doorways, etc., where he
Is necessarily brought in immediate
contact with hundreds of people daily.
He handles door knobs with his hands,
reeking with filth from his sores.
While he is to be pitied, the preserva-
tion of our health demands that this
unfortunate individual be taken care
of. His may not be a contagious dis
ease, still we are of the opinion that if
any one were to get particle of virus
from his continually discharging sores
into the slightest flesh wound, inocu-
lation would be perfect. We under
stand that this man has a guardian
appointed by the courts to care for
him. If so the full penalty of the law
should be visited upon him for neg
lect. Our city authorities are surely
not powerless in this matter, and de-
cency alone should urge them to take
some action to remove this dangerous
idler from the streets.
