The Weekly Arizonian from Tucson, Arizona • Page 2

.3 It TEE WEEKLY AllTZONAN JUNE 5 18G9. WBR'ATIAM LYON, of Arizona City is our only authorized Agent in Arizona. SONORA. It is amazing that in the attention given to land purchases in Washington, so little ie said of in Sonora. The San Domingo land purchase attracts great notice and Mr.

Orth, M. C. from Indiana has made a stirring speech in its favor. Yet we venture to say where thrre is one reason for buying that Island, rich as it is, there are a dozen for buying Sonora. Gen.

Banks, Chairman of the committee on foreign affairs in the house, is said to think so and other prominent men are waking up to the idea. Lately the New York World the chief democratic organ had this sensible article on the subject ''Here is a chance for an effort of diplomacy in the real interest of the United States. As usual, sundry "revolutionary movements" are active in Mexico. The movement in Sinaloa and Sonora may be made to profitably concern this country. Sinaloa and art-' North" western Slates of Mexico, the hitter of which borders upon our soil.

Their shore is on thp Gulf of California, from which a very promising, extensive, inland territory of ours, A.rizona, is shut off by the intervening breadth of Sonora. That territory and the territory also of New Mexico needs a port on the Pacific. Neither of those territories can thrive without such a port, which will permit goe.ds io enter it from other part3 of the United. States free of duty, Sonora itself, aside from the port of Guaymas, which ii her advantage, is a State rich in minerals and grazing lands, which would be a valuable acquisition in itself. Now, the Mexican government is troubled, and will for an indefinite period be tvoubled, by the wild and wayward denizens of thnt wild, half waste area.

At present a chiof named Reyes, who has collected followers there, "pronounces" against uarez, "expels custom-house officers of the Mexican lgWernment, and asserts the independence of tne estate. Jt is tue best possible opportunity for overtures to Juarez and a bargain to be ratified by the Mexican Congress for a cession of Sonora to the United States. Such a bargain might be made cheaper now than ever; and, nfter it is made, five hundred Americans could easily walk in, subdue the present "revolutionists," and possess the soil That would initiate the rapid population and development of the partofthis country that hasbeen most neglected, but which offer3 a liberal bounty to every future pioneer." Ceremonies on Laying the Last Rail. Promontory Summit, May 10, The morning was most auspacious. At 7 a.

m. the superintendent of the telegraph company hoisted the Stars and Stripes at the terminus of the' Central Pacific track. The Union Pacific Railroad closed the gap ofhalf a mile in their track, leaving but the space to be filled by the last rail. At 9 a. m.

the first passenger train of the Union Pacific railroad ai rived at this point, coming within a rail's length of the Central Pacific track- The train consisted of one sleeping car and one passenger car, bringing about 30 passengers. At 11:30 the President's train moved to the front, drawn by the fine locomotive Jupiter appropriate name gaily decorated with flag3 and George Booth is engineer and Eli Foster conductor of the train. The enthusiasm is great and still increasing. At least 2,000 persons will meet in mid desert, and warm and earnest greetings are being exchanged betwei all, for the event makes even stranger friends. Hon.

F. Tritle of Nevada offered the silver spiko with the following sentiment "To the iron of the east and gold of the west Nevada adds her link of silver to span tho continent and wed the oceans." Hon, A. K. Safford presented a spike of iron, silver and gold, an offering from Arizona, with the sentiment; "Ribbed with iron, clad in silver and crowned with gold, Arizona presents her offering to the enterprise that has banded the continent and made elaara pathway to commerce, Mr. Darkness presented the golden spike from California, with a few sublime remarks.

He said bnet: 1 he last rait needed to complete the greatest railroad enterprise of the world is about to be laid the last spike needed to unite the Atlantic and Pacific bv a new line of travel and commerce is about to be driven to its place. To perform acts, you, the East and the West have comtogether. Never, since history commenced her record of human events, has she been called upon to note the completion of a work so magnificent in conception, so marvellous in execution California, within whose borders and bp'whose citizens the Pacific Railrand was inaugurated, is desirous to express her appreciation of the Tast importance to her and her sister States of the great enterprise wnich, by your joint action, is about to be consummated. Fronv'er mine3 of gold she has forwarded a spike-from her laurel woods she has hewn a tie bylhe hands of her citizens she offers thein to became a part of the great highway which is about to unite her in close fellowship with her sisters of the Atlantic. From her bosom, was taken the first rail let hers be the la tie and the last spike.

With them accept the hopes and wishes of her people that the success of your enterprise may not stop short of i.ts brightest promise. Ge.i. Edward M. McCcok, lately appointed Governor of Colorado, was borii in Ohio in 1835 He emigrated to in 1S5G, at.d from tlu-re to Colorado in 1859. In the fall of 1 SCO he wad eleetc 5 to the Kansas Legislature as representative of the mining region, then Ar-rapahoe County, now Colorado Territory.

He was returning to Denver when "Sumpter was fired upon," turned back to the east and entered the ranks of the volunteer service as a private soldier. For the execution of some dangerous aud important service, Cameron, then Secretary of War, gave him a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Regular Cavalry. He was afterward transferred to the 2d Indiana Cavalry, with the rank of Major, and after the battle of Pittsburg Landing Got. Morton gave him the commission of Colonel. He commanded a brigade, and during the last two years of the war, a division of cavalry.

He resigned at the close of the war; At the time of his resignation was MajorGeneral of volunteers and Brevet Brigadier-General in the rtgular Army. lie was appointed Minister Resident to the Sandwich Islands in 18G7, and negotiated the treaty of commercial reciprocity between that country and the United States. Tribune. San Diego Items. The Union with cheeks justly crimsoned speaks thus of Indians in San Diego: "We noticed a half dozen or more, of the Lo family parading the streets, last week, that were dressed after the fashion of Adam and Eve, just before they left the garden of Even.

If there is an old clothes society in this part of the moral vineyard, we would suggest to its members that these children of the forest receive a "little of their attention. Our modesty was terribly shocked. Another such an exhibition and we will call upon the City Fathers for an ordinance. We can not, as a modest journalist, allow such public shows. It might pass in the theatres oi San Francisco, but not in the streets of San The same paper speaks of A Slight Unpleasantness.

John Dougherty took offense at something said or done, on Saturday last, by a Sonoranian, whose name we could not learn, and the rantancorous John put a bullet through the arm of the aforesaid and into his body. It is said by Dr. Scott, his attending physician, that the probabilities are that he will not get well. Sheriff McCoy arrested John, and he is now "monarch of all he surveys" in the city cage, called a jail, with board and lodging free. The trial is posponed until next week, If the Sonoranian gets well it is all right, for then, according to San Diego justice, the shootist is entitled to his acquittal.

If he dies, well, then, there will be a flaw in the indictment, and he will get off any way. What this fighting gentry needs is a little vigorous prosecution, and we call on District Attorney Johnson to wade in and put a stop to this wholesale shooting. The day has gone by when such conduct can be winked at and forgotten in San Diego, Accounts recently received in London go to prove the safety of the Rev. David Livingstone, the celebrated African traveler, respecting whose fate so much uncertainty has prevailed. It is reported that Mr.

Livingstone left Zanribar, Eastern Africa, in January last for England. He would go overland to Cairo, Egypt. The Chicago Republican rejoices that the little town of Galena, 111., has given to the world the President of the United States, the Secretnrvof War, the Mnister to France, the Assistant Secretary of Legation at Paris, the Consul to Lahaina, and a number of United States marshals and other public officers all he wav to California. There was a time when ho highest aspiration of the chief in the above list was to be Mayor ot that little town of GaN ena. Times change and men's fortunes with them A Western paper meant to have stated that John Young Scammon had been appointed to a foreign mission, but by a singular misappre hension the types made it appearthut a "young scamp'' had received this mark of Executive avor.

The Buenos Ayers Standard of the 30th ultimo, states that Minister M'Mahon has arrived at Asuncion, but is reticent concerning his trip into the interior. A small force of Paraguayan cavalry keeps hovering about the allied out-posts, but has made no attack. Insurbordination appeared in the ranks of the allies when ordered to march into the interior. It is not expected the allies will be prepared to march for at least two months. The World's Buenos Ayres letter mentions some recent raids by Lopez upon the allies and escaping unhurt.

Lopez has established a powder mill in the city of Montevideo. Under the financial crisis a total suspension of business is threatened, A fight took place at the capitol yesterday between Col. Duncan and Col. Pritchard, rival applicants for the position of superintendent of the interior department the former was worst ed. New York, May 19.

The event in financial circles to-day was the failure of tho German bankinghouse of Schopelov Co. Their operations were very extensive being large shippers of pctroleuni, provisions, besides heavy dealers in gold, slocks, bonds, and their transactions generally extendud into the millions. The cause of failure was heay sales of gold on speculative account to the amount probably of eight or ten il.ijns.

It is rumored that a Chinese official of high rank in Pekin, in a fit ot anger, slapped' the face of the French ambassador, Count de Luniande, and the flag over the French Legation has been hauled down The Chinese government is very uneasy in consequence, and fears are entertained of further encroachments on her territory by the Russians. Chicago, May 20 Italian papers announce that Garibaldi has had a fresh attack of ill ness, and his physicians say he is liable to die at any moment. The Portuguese government is experimenting with a mechine, easy to operate, which discharges 800 shots per minute. Romero wiites from Mexico under date of the 25th of April, that the canvass for seats in congress is atly as lively as in the United States.

No fears of disturbances however are enteratined. General Dix, American minister, to-day had an audience with the Emperor at which he introduced Mr. Washburne as his successor and took formal leave of his majesty Mr Washbnrne then presented his credentials as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to France.
