The Act passed by the last Congress increasing the annual appropriation tor nupplvingarms and equipments to the militia, provide in its second section that the distribution to the Territories and District of Columbia shall be made under euch regulations and in such proportion as the Fresident mar prescribe. According tbo resident has issued the following regulations governing- the subject; Firt-Eiich Territory shall, if included within the provisions of said Act, annually receive arms, ordnance store, quartermaster' stores and camp eqmp-2xe equivalent to the quota of a State having the least representation in Con- Second Arms, ordnance stores, quartermasters stores and camp equipage ahBll be issued to Territories pn requiai-tion wudeby the Governors thereof, and to the District of Columbia on requisitions aDproved by the senior General of the diMrict militi in the manner as required by Sections 3 and 4 of the Act as before referred to in the case of States and Territories, fnriii.liri to make issues 1UI1U LI s'ntna and Territories excess ot the nmnnnt to their credit, under provis ions of Section 1.1C1, Revised btatnles, as amended by the above Act.

The reg- hv President Fierce April 30tb, 1S58, under an Act approved Murcn 30, ISoo, are uereDyrcvua.cn. Gboveu Cleveland. Ocb delegate to Congress can make himself a reputation that will abide with him forever, by a successful effort to secure government aid in sinking artesian wolls; in making surveys of our watersheds aud storage facilities, and in constructing mountain reservoirs for ir rigation water storage, in this Territory, These are matters of internal improve ments that should command the con Hnn of the River and Harbor nomrnitteo and a recognition in their an nual appropriation bill. It is bs much benefit to the government and particu larly to the people, if a hundred thou eond dollars are spent in Arizona to minna nf hrin e-ini? nrospenty to )UVU Uibu-J w- mnnVhannv hornas, as it is to "improve ir.f nrwk-t that can never be made unviable or mud lagoons that are call ed harbors. Such improvements are of practical vilne to a oountry and are of rlmrni'ler.

fiDtl WOrlUy OI Ciwuukui the best efforts of our delegate in Con gress to secure for onr people. ihi rnmmission of crime IS made to lecoivo its penalty with a 6Wift unerring und unsparing hand, the crim jnal business of onr courts will drop off to the adjudication of the Bmall offenses with only r.n occasional investigation of deeds of desperation. The greatest security of life and property is nffoided by the certainty of the penalties of crime being indioted upon tho and when buoh deeds trnnspiro as that on the railroad near this city a few days ago, every effort withinlthe command of the law should be invoked to bring the guilty ones to their merited punishment. The moral effect of their prompt disposal is a safeguard from the perpetration of like offenses by others, "We hope, for the good of our country, that these bold robber? will speedily meet tho fate they have sought und that their example will forever deter others from imitating them. The report of tho finding of a large body of llowing water by a tunnel run into the Santa Catalmo mountains from Pima canon, has been fully confirmed, and the importance of the diBOOvery far boyond that of its merchantable value which in itself is great, becouaa it fully demonstrates tho existence of hugo bodies of water susceptible" of development in those mountains.

The example of the water developments in Madras of Calif ornia, is ona worthy oome tnougliUul BtuOy nad imitation. They brought out from the strong rocks large streams to irrigate thousands of acres of land, and under far lesa promising than, those existing In sotttbern Arizona. The Santa CJatalinas are'graxd reservoirs of water and the simple proof of the smhll efforts made.in Pima caiion is sufficient to justify other and larger ex pendituresin a BeBrch for other bodies of tho precious fluid. PeUoaps Arizona has an active vol cano among its other attractions, and that eastern visitors can find means of interesting diversion in the study of the many great wonders in which our territory abounds. Wo havo enjoyed the distinction of po3seasinx tho marvelous petrified forests that have no counterpart in the known world, and also tho most sublime scenery ever discovered along tho grand caiion of the Colorado.

We havo wonderfnl mines and vast herds of cattle, high mountains and booming valleys; freedom from disease and tho best climate in the world. In fact we have long enjoyed blessinga in abundance and immunity from the great misfor tunes that be3et our eastern brethren, and the only thing lacking to complete our cup of ecaUtio joy has been a vol cano, with an attendant earthquake for variety. Now that our prayers have been answered and the tire has leaped forth from the crest of our mouutains, we feel that nothing further is required to bring the whole world to our feet with its homage. And we would here suggest to tourists in search of wonders that it they do not see what they would like to behold, not to shrink from ask ing for it, tor our stock in the wonder line is complete, down to the latest invention. We have enough thut- occu pies somo position in the proce-esion from the sublime to the ridiculous, to interest umuse every person, and we may well claim to be the most grand and unique show on earth, all under one tent.

That earthquake was a strange visitor to Arizona. Wo are nssured by those who have had access to the old records of the mission fathers and have reid the history of this Territory cover ing a period of nearly ihreo hundred years, that no seismio diiturbanee has been known here during the last three centuries. Geologists claim that the earth's crust is very thick and solid throughout Arizona ind Sonora, and therefore such disturbancas as occurred on Tuesday must necessarily have been intensely severe at its most aolive point Tne telegram from El Paso place the time of its appearance there before it was felt in Tucson by twenty minutes, allowing for the difference in local time, which would indicate that the wave passed from east to west or else it wove from north to 60uth covering very wide path. The earthqako in California on Tuesday morning bIso suggests its intimate connection with that of Tues day afternoon in thii city, which would give it a general direction from the northwest lo the southeast. It is prob able that the news received to-day will settle the question of the route of the tremblor, bnt it cannot account fur the 6trange visitation Arizona has been hon ored with.

The following from the Phenix Her-bld applies with equal force to all portions of Southern Arizona: "The idea has long prevailed in the east that Arizona was fit for nothing more than a range 'for Apaches und wriggling ground for rattlesnakes. Thirty-five years ago a similar idea prevailed as to the great Sacramento plains in California and so far as that is concerned, the whole of California. For a hundred years the great plains that now consti tute the great and wealthy states of Nebraska and Kansas wero regarded ns the Great American Desert." And ot to day how changed is that ''Great American desert." It is studded with happy and wealthy homes whoso tt.nenti till thu soil and exact therefrom untold wealth. So in tho great inland plains of California, what thirty years sgo we spurned as worthless is to-day land ilowmg with milk and honey, llere in Arizona like conditions have begun to prevail with astonishing intensity. Where once grew nothing but spurce brush ami 1 what appeared to be ssudy and arid sot), the most vigorous pro ductive quulities have duplayed them selves when water has been put upon the sail.

Like magic the wild wsile i turning into green fields, great orchards and spreudiug vineyards, thtit hove already begun to yield in Buch a remarkable maimer that the truth scarcely dare be told lest onr eastern friends should conclude that we tell highly colored and sensational yarns to deceive them into investing where we want to get out. lie not deceived in this matter; there is nobody in these broad valleys to-day who does not want more of tho lend than he has already got, is striving und straining to get more before it gets beyond his reach. To be sure, there is plenty of property for snle because it is in the hands those who have bought it to sell to buy yet more, or to invest it in improve ments on i portion which they retain. All up and down this valiey land ha ri-eu iu value from 100 1W)J per cent, according to locilion, wit! ia the past year and still it hmv. Another yefcr and there will be no cheap lands in the Salt River valley.

This -ming fall will eee thousands of acres now in sage brush, clean and smooth and green with alfalfa fields or dotted with young vines and fruit trees. Eeh day the sagebrush now goes down by the acre and in a very few month instead of a va-t use less plain will be vast green expanse of orchard, gardens nnd homes sprung into existence as at the touch of magic wand," The city of Phenix, by electing Hon. De Forest rortar itsmayer over a very popular opponent, bn3 not only honored itself, but has shown grateful appreciation of his Ubors on behalf of that city. There is no question that the present and prospective prosperity I'henix is due largely to the building of the railraod at least the boom has been hastened by its construction and bnt for the persistent efforts of Mr. Porter in the legislatrre nnd his labors since the county aid wbs secured it, no such activity as now exists in that city would be known.

The compliment paid by Pcenix to Mr. Porter is lull merited by that gentleman. The stock interests will gradually but hurely grow better during the coming summer and fall. The losses that have occurred in the north nnd in Texas, havo relieved the supply pressure and advunce iu prices is inevitable. The rauges have been taxed to their utmost nnd such numbers as they carry to-day ibey are capable of grazing at all timef.

jtfany small producers have been forced from the field, and tho prices have touohed their lowest notch. From now az, tho industry will grow stronger and better and many stock men will soon recover their losses by tho drouth and low rates. Theke is a touch of grim and timely Fcorn in Mr. Conkling's suggestions to the effect that it is specially pleasing to eee the memory of Grant honored by those who did not wait for the glorification of his death to show them his rusged grandeur, or the honesty of his purposes and his reverence for the rights of every fellow creature." The fame of unch a man is a national possession, of course, and all citizens have the right to be proud of if; but that does not make it appropriate und pleasing for men to pose as his conspicuous eulogists who, during his life, could find nothing too mean to say about him.

As attempt will be made to secure flowing artesian wnter on the Territorial University grounds and a contraot will be entered into for boring a well to flowing water up to a limit of a tbou-ennd feet in depth. It will be an experiment that, if successful, will be worth many thousands of dollars to Tucson nd the surrounding country, Bnd if even the limit of the thousand feet does not reach tho coveted water, the people of this city should assist in extending it downward even double that depth. The inducement is certainly worth the risk. Thet talk of a "sweeping revival" at Presoott. The chain gang has been set at work, probably.

Denteb is in the full enjoyment of a brisk strike. Now that ia tho kisd of dtrike that hurts, We have been nsked why the CirizEX says bo little concerning tlie work ac complished by the officers hunting down the tram robbers. We have maintained Bilenco solely at the expressed wiBh of the officers, that the ends of justiee may be better subserved. Our natural desire to give all 'the news must sometimeslv: restrained to attain endsot jnitice. When at liberty to speaV-ntS will giro nil that has transpired.

The resumption of the old freight rates, eveu temporarily, starts up anew the commercial activity that exist-d prior to the enforcement of the interstate commerce law. Tho intricacies of tha new tariff were difficult to learn, while the simplicity of the old was a guaranty against error or overcharge. Tho merchants seem well pleased with the old tariff, and indeed they prefer it to the new one made odious. Kissane's crimes nrej'uat beginning to lenk out, and the forger' and steamboat burning ore commendable virtues compared to his other crimes. He is believed to bo no less a person Bgo than the notorious John Doe, and indictments have been found against him in every court in the United States, for oil kinds of orimo from murder down to swindling the newspaper man.

It takes time to bring these fellows to a level. As near as can be learned, the recent earthquake was purely local affair, confined to southern Arizona nnd New Mexico, and Northern Sonora. It was a gentle affair nnd so far as its effects are concerned they are more beneficial than disastrous. The opening of new wntcr sources is one of its greatest blessings, and it they prove to be permanent in charaoter we will have occasion to be thankful for tho strange visitation. TrtE Los Angeles Times has new libel suit on hand every day, and it all of them shonld hold they could easily dispose of the treasury surplus in payment of the damages demanded.

Rut then, libel suits against a newspaper arc tbo best kind of advertisements for it, and we half believe the Times has hired the alleged victim of its malice to commence action agr.iust it on purely business speculation. The city authorities are taking measures to pluce the city in as good sani-tarv condition aa possible before the hot summer weather begins. The movement is timely and wise. Today's earthquake at Benson destroyed about all the drugs at the drug store of that town. Those medicines were well shaken before taken.

Ax artesian well at Willows, Oal-, has created a real estate boom. The hint is a good one for our Arizona friends, LosAxoxles wants The SDgelis city evidently prariginous visitation, nail factory, anticipates a That was no earthquake after all. It was only the tramp of the big boos coming. Tho wholo physical mechanism be comes inpaired by the heavy winter diet and lauk of open air exercise. Ayer's Ssrsaparilla is the proper remedy to take in the spring of tho year to purify the blood, invigorate the systom, excite the liver to action, and restore the healthy tone and vigor of the system.

The horFO stepped on the sword with hind foot and broke it, and the chapoan, falling a little farther to the rear was t-ubjected to still more ignominious treatment by the frightened animal, nnd had to be carried away on tho end of an infantryman's bayouat. All this shows the danger of entrut-ing some militia officers with swords and horses.

Telllnj; a "Il'ar Story." No quieter or more gentlemanly person did I ever meet tliau Davy Crockett, He came slowly lounging into tho venerable office of The National Intelligencer one beveru winter afternoon, when and where I was indu-strkmily warming my little boy body nil round tho small, square btove.

Listening, that afternoon, proved my chief enjoyment of life to date. Listening seemed to pmvo a similar sensation to every person of the group.

It was a grand excitement just to lkten. Whatever was related we saw. We lived alone the remarkable incidents from word to word. Who of mortals, save David Crockett, could display snch vivid power could so wield thunder and light-ninirJ Yet it was not altocether terror. Comical situations were introduced.

Prison life in Siberia is of many varie ties, accordinc; to the offense of different individuals and the sentences which have been decreed in their cases. Tho lowest sentence is to bimuU hanishmeat for threo years, and the highest to hard labor for life.

The simple exile without imprison ment is to live a certain town, district or provtnec. and must re port to the jwlire at stated intervals. He may engage in certain specified occupa tions, or rather in any occupation wmon is not on a prohibited list: for example, he may teach ramie or painting, but he may teach languages, as they atlordtneon- portuuity for propagating revolutionary He mar become merchant, larmer. mechanic, contractor or anything elt-e of that sort, and it not infrequently liamtens that prison exiles enjoy a degree of pros perity in their new Ihhmi taai ibey mu not have iu European Russia. Exiles and vih.

ir bona have becotne millionaires in lr-ibtna; a former aiwierotii oi irtooisK, capital of Eastern Siberia, was the of an exile erf, life enormous fortune having gained in tho oerlanu feu trade. Many exiles become so attached to Si beria that they remain there after their term of banishment is ended, but it should le understood that their cases are the exceptions rather than the rule. The wife and immature children of an exile may follow or accompany him at the expense of the covernment. but cannot return to Europe until his term of service has ex pired. The object of exile is to furnish a population to this sparsely inhabited region, and it goes without saying that a family man is much more likely to be good citizen when Ids wife and children arc with ldm than when they are thou sands of miles away.

The name of "pris oner" or "exile" is never applied to the banished individuals; in the language of the people they are called "unfortunates, and in official documents they are termed "involuntary emigrants."
