Mr.. Man charging up and down the

the deserted street after the unconscious
Mrs. Man, to know where his hat was,
and where she put the valise key, and if
he had any clean socks and undershirts,
and that there wasn't linen collar in
the house. And when he went away at
last, he left the kitchen door, the side
door ard the front door, all the down
stair windows and the front gate wide
open. And the loungers around the de-

his cuffs unbuttoned and necktie flying,

TIE REASONS OF THIS REMARKABLE DELAY.


IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUYE.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Although more than
400 bills have already been introduced in the
House and referred to the appropriate committees
the entire list of those committees again called
today with few responses, and the bills that were
reported were unmpOrtant, and gave rise to little OF
no discussion. 1t is almost unprecedented in the
history of the House for 50 little work to haye been
accomplished at q corresponding period in the
session.


OF course the comparisons frequently made by
Administration newspapers between the condition
of work in the House at the present time and at the
same date year ago are very unfair. Then the
House had been organized more than year, and its
committees were all in working order before the
meeting of Congress, and many measures the con-
sideraton of which had been completed at the pre-
vous session were lying upon the tables OF
the committees only waiting an opportu-
nity to be reported. The Appropriations Committee
a year ago came to Washington several weeks
before the session began, and having been furnished
with the book of estimates, was able to prepare
several Of its important bills before the first OF De
cember This session, all such preliminary work
was of course impossible. The Speaker not having
been elected until after the meeting of Congress-
had been unable TO make much previous prepare
tions for the organization of the House, and when
majority of its members were placed IN new posi-
ton, it was to be expected that the work OF the
House would, for a few weeks at least, drag along
very slowly At the same time it has very seldom
occurred that six weeks after the meeting of Con-
gress at it's first session even, the whole list OF COM
mittees has been called on two consecutive days
within the morning hour.

JUDGE DUSNE REMOVES TO NEW MEX

 izen of the 11th that our whilom friend

 Judge Dunne, has emigrated from Tucson to

 cast his lot with the people of New Mexico.

 No man ever came to Arizona with fairer

 prospects, better friends or more favorable opportunities for placing himself, not only

 at the head of the Judiciary of the Terri tory, to which his commission as Chief Jus tice at once advanced him. but to the leader

 ship of public sentiment and to any official or social position to which it might have been his ambition to aspire; but he threw them all away, went back on his friends, contradicted his own former liberal record, espoused the cause of the enemies of free schools, and of those who would make the state subservient to the church, defed the au- thority he had invoked to place him in an honorable position, outraged the principles and precepts of the platform of his party and as a natural consequence is deposed and goes to seek another field where perchance, the people will lend more willing ear to the ultramontane doctrines of which hehas of late become so ardent an advocate as to endeavor to incorporate into, and make the chief corner stone of this political fabric of ours. We had hoped for better termina- tion of his career in Arizona, and that he would open his eyes and see the darkness in- to which he was endeavoring to lead others but blindness seemed to have struck him and there was no cure for it. That he was honest in the Jesuitical doctrine that ''the end justifies the means" will now hardly be doubted. He has died for his faith-politi- cally and socially-and in that he has exhib- ited tenacity and adherance to the require ments of Priestcraft but little inferior to that which sustained the old martyrs who died triumphantly proclaiming the doctrines of their church amid the horrors of crack ling faggots. 4 friend writing us not long since aptly illustrates it in this way: He says that it appears as if Christians when | their church is involved feel it a duty to lie | in her behalf. and quiet their condolences | with the conviction that they are lying | for God. We do not introduce this as an | exactly analogous case to the one under con- sideration but it is another illustration of the doctrine that the end justifies the means, and may serve to point the fallacy of resort ing to bad means to accomplish good ends, such as Judge Dunne attempted to employ when he would have destroyed the common school system of Arizona in order to build up his church.

 these; other towns may spring up in Iavapai County with equal advantages in regard to climate, and if they have enterprising public | spirited men to back them the result will be surprising. What does Prescott need to sustain her and make her the town of the Territoryi Why in the first place an exten- sive business thatdoes no. stopat triffle, in the next place good schools and churches make it desirable place to emigrate to, and we should not let any public improvement drag along until we are forced from sheer necessity to action. The business of Yava- pal County in the main will be mining, and to develop the mines we must have good wagon roads leading out to the main thoroughfares X road from Prescott to the vicinity of the Bradshaw and Peck mines has become public necessity, as one of the many roads that must sooner or latter be built every one. acknowledges, andi Prescott hesitates, and goes to sleep over little 20 mile wagon road that they must build soon, and that if once built will return the invest. ment ten fold, she won't need to go through the ceremony of disincorporation, it will come as a natural sequence in time. If the letter of the law does not say build roads wherever needed in the County the spirit of of the law does, and that should govern the interpretation thereof. The people do not want toll roads if they can avoid them but they are better than none; the citizens of Prescott should assemble and decide to build the road; they should ask the County to build it immediately, and if necessary agree to take the road of of the hands of the Supervisors if the Legislature fails to confirm the acts of the Supervisors two years hence.

From the reports received of the diplo-
matte cordiality at Constantinople it may be
inferred that all the great Powers will be
able to agree among themselves as to what
it will be wise and proper to demand Of
Turkey but the inquiry of importance is,
Will Turkey consent to do what they agree
to require? Turkey has always yielded
hitherto, and therefore it is commonly
thought that she will yield now; but
the kind Of helpless complacency
with which she has in the past ac-
cepted the will Of her powerful neigh
bors must have a limit somewhere--she
will certainly resist at some point--and
it is in the nature of her acts that when she
does determine to resist she will do it in
some sudden, unexpected and unlikely con-
nection. 1t is this fact that Turkeys actions
cannot be counted upon with any certainty
that still keeps up the possibility that war
may be the final issue of the deliberations
at Constantinople.


Russia apparently has little faith that the
agreement Of the Powers at Constantinople,
even if satisfactory to her, will be able to Sc
cure the Sultan's assent to the application Of
what she regards as the only remedy for the
evils of Ottoman misgovernment. She has
also abundant faith in her own capacity to
enforce her programme by arms. Hence
she does not interrupt her prep
arations pending the diplomatic con-
ference; on the contrary she urges
them forward, that she may strike
promptly and effectively if compelled to
strike at all. 1t is evident that the Sadowa
campaign and the recent war in France
have profoundly affected the military minds
of Russia with the lesson that to strike like
the lightning with immediate and tremen-
dous blows is the one great secret of success
in war. Hence the mobilization of one hun
dred thousand more troops and the inten-
tion to pass the Pruth, that the men may be
not merely under arms, but separated by the
least possible distance from the points at
which they are to act in case of war.


From the disposition indicated it seems
that Russia intends to give the Turkish
forces plenty of occupation if the Sultan de-
termines to fight. Three lines Of advance
are already developed from the Cau-
casus by way of Armenia, and two
in Europe. One of these is to be
by the old Russian line on Shumla,
Selimno and Adrianople; for this is evil

craftsmanship, that ell his fellow citi-
zens, of whatever party, who are resolved
to settle the controversy fairly shall
accept his leadership. But, in order that
he shall take this position, which, firmly
taken and steadily held, will not only save
his party from ruin but his country from
disorder, the first necessity is to emancipate
him from the bull-dozing influences that
now are exasperating his temper and warp
ing his will. Who can do this? We answer
unhesitatingly, that if it can be done by
anybody it can best be done by the moderate
republican Senators who now apparently are
holding themselves aloof from the executive
councils and abandoning the President to
the influence of the Chambers and the Cam
erons. Senators Sherman, Conkling,. Ed
munds, Frelinghuysen, Jones, Christiancy
and Burnside, not to speak of others, owe
the country duty In this relation. No
false sense of their Senatorial dignity, and
no dread of rebuff, can excuse them
from q speedy and earnest effort to re-
call President Grant to his former and
better self.


We especially urge this lofty duty upon
Senator Conkling. His personal relations
to the White House enable him to under
take it with an assurance of success He
enjoys such measure of the Presidents
esteem that he was his favorite for the sue
cession. He has held himself aloof from all
the acrimony ofthe political campaign. Often
before this occasion he has shown keen
sense of honor, high degree of indepen-
dence and warm spirit of patriotism in
public emergencies. In his instance OPP
portunity now waits upon capacity. 1t
is the crisis of his public career II he
will rise to its requirements, if he will speak
the words his country yearns to hear--words
to allay passion, soothe animosity and COM
mand the union of all moderate men-we
shall not mourn as now we do that the great
political leaders of our fathers-the Web
sters and Clays and Bentons-h have mounted
to the skies; for we shall know that the
prophets mantle has fallen upon as great
successor. Elijah has gone forever, but
Elisha will remain to Israel.

General Hampton was sworn in yesterday
as Governor of South Carolina. He deliv-
cred an address which is reported in full in
our news columns. In this document he
recites, with great severity of indignant
comment, the proceedings at Columbia
during the last few weeks. But he only
protests and denounces; he does not
suggest any resort to violence. So
far from that he praises the moderation of
the conservative members of the Legislature
for their forbearance, discretion and peace
full demeanor under circumstances Of great
provocation. 1t is the right of an aggrieved
party to arraign and expose its opponents,
to demonstrate with warmth against
their injustice, to hold them up to pub
lie reprobation, and to resort to all
legal and peaceful methods for the redress
of wrongs. Governor Hampton could not
have been expected to "speak with bated
breath on such an occasion, and he will be
better able to restrain and control the pas
sions of his people and keep them within
the limits of the law by letting them seq
how fully he shares their indignation.
There can be no doubt that he
has acquired such a moral ascend
ancy over the citizens of South Carolina
that there would be no substantial oppose
ton to his government if tho federal troops
were withdrawn. He is able to preserve
peace, maintain order and tranquillize the
State from the instant that the right of local
self-government is respected. No intelli-
gent observer can doubt that every South
Carolina interest would be promoted under
an administration SO wise, just and consid-
crate as his certainly would be if outside
elements of disturbance were taken away.


Governor Hampton renews with emphasis
the pledges he made to the colored citizens
Of the State during the political canvass.
He alludes with grateful appreciation to the
large numbers Of them who voted the con-
seryative ticket, but he declares his
purpose and pledges his honor to
treat those who voted against him with
equal Justice. There can be no reasonable
doubt either of the sincerity of his promises
or Of his ability to fulfil them It is to be
deplored that the people of South Carolina
are not permitted to have o governments
which might be SO securely relied upon to
give them order, contentment and PROS
perity.

The message sent to the Senate yesterday in
answer to the inquiry whether United States
soldiers were stationed at Petersburg, Va,
on the day OF election, and if so for what
purpose, states that company was ordered
to that point and gives satisfactory reasons
therefor, provided that it is the duty Of the
administration to move troops hithcr and
thither on information that breach of the
pence is approhended. Many may ques-
ton whether it is proper or desirable
that the United States army should be used
as a sort of patrol for such purpose. II q
row had occurred at charter election at
Albany in the spring 1t would scarcely be
regarded as n good cause for sending federal
troops to that city to insure a peaceful
election in November. 1t is true the con-
dition OF Virginia may be different from that
OF New York, and we are not disposed to OBJ
ject to the use of the soldiers made by the
President in the Petersburg case. Never
theless the message Of the President would
have been more satisfactory and in better
taste especially at this time, if it had re-
Trained from casting an unnecessary and
apparently unwarrantable slur on the other
Congressional districts of the State of vir-
ginia.

in Western Canada and the northern part of
The Middle States we may look for short
return OF very cold weather at New York.
With the area Of high pressure in the West
the tom peraturc has fallen very low, tho
minimum at Fort Garry, Pembina and Bis
marck yesterday morning being twenty
degrees, twenty-six degrees and nine de-
grces below zero respectively. Snow was
filling last evening at Saugeen, Canada, and
Grand Haven, Michigan, with very high
winds on the lakes. Cloudiness prevails in
the Northeast and Southwest, with rain in
The latter region. The sudden cold will
have the effect of closing the Missouri and
Upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers with
heavy ice. The temperature, will, however,
ouickly rise again in those watersheds and ice
gorgcs will probably be formed which may
prove as destructive as that as st. Louis.
Precautions should, therefore, be taken to
guard all floating and otherwise exposed
property from the descending bodies OF ice
The depression now developing in the
Northwest will prove genuine storm

trusted Its course will probably bring it
nearer New York than that now passing
