V. EAiii :R : The Autumn frosts have at
I. t i Kit in ; the mornings and evenings are
r, jut tiie hours between 10 A. M. 2 P. M.

I rs: Wo learn from Mr. Yfallace, ox
s rider mi the route from Tucson to Camp
t i.' .1 Florence, that a party of Indians
a.-A at, a ehort distance from the road,
;.r Cottonwool irprings, fired at him as he
s; 1 with the mail last week. Ho state3 that
Itrrd the bullets pass, apparently within a
Ir h 3 Ms head when putting spurs to his
r 4 galloped off leaving hia obliging
iti'j ri to contemplate their msappomtment
it uis escape.
Sltti.ed Dow.y: We Noticed, somaweekj
rcc the arrival from Colorado of a party o
ti who left again after a few days to pros.
t tV San Pedro and Arivipi dislricts. We
; r " i learned that upon their arrival at
, U aiit, teeing the vast expanse of unoc
i t!l'-v lauds, they concluded to let
; rculatioa and enterprises take care
lvs and try fortune in the culivntion
" 1 . i t. They lost no time in coming to
)! :s die second day after their
' . , (..' wiioie number, feven, engaged

.) '!'! Country around Cimp Grant
3 .-ci.iL a thriving settlement.
i'n Saturday evening a Tory agrcc-
r .;:.:'e:t was given by the young men of
, f t'.ij Saloon of A. Levin. Tht 'tatkin';
iv'.i. -goring lor era'' were all present and
! II with a charming contrast of a; c anil
, wiiliai and levity. At 8 o'clock tho
ii g-iuar in the most delightful harmony,
j i a lively tano when tho dance commenced
'1 arouu J whirled fe3tiro youth in the
i i iting onjoyment whilo thoughtful old
Vli,a in calm approval, doubtless, for the
. at, illed to scenes of inany years ago. To
j this hoars sseni to fly and not to steal
-i-elvos past ; and so it was in ihis instance.
J t f.r teuoritas exprassed their indigna

t. i tfiLeir several homos.
. ' IX', Away : The town of Tubac which
va; ed Tucson in population and im
i fast. going to ruin and decay. Situ

as tho I iii,i:i and the Govrnment main

- ,' cu. thi settler, so long will Tubac
j sink until finally no crunib will
-jr ei'.her of the all-devouring sharks
iL'ainte upon overy blade of grass that
trom th farmer's ground. The busi-
I a aer is catried on, year after year,
iu thi3 manner: First comes the
" t was numbers the stock of tho ranch-
en'atig the value of his lands, that

eiuo wuo, in many insim-
p. rtitar raurdoring those who practise temer
so much as to dispute his right, takes pos-
JJ ot everything which h mny drive or

disregarding our lnte n.u;n.,i t t
w depredations siats the tinw of assets.
mWm
ment, invariably collects tivery cent levied on
property now in the hau ti of the Apache.
These are ths circumstances under which Ta
bac has been and is at present striding to ruin.
Bobbed by two parties by tho one in a bold
and defiant manner, and by the other under
the cloak of government, exacting lawful
tribute from its citizens who, in return, are
supposed to enjoy that security of life' and
property which every government is in doty
bound to maintain throughout every portion of
its doainion. It is needless to tell Arizonsns
tbti the government is false to its pledge ; not
ono month ever passes which doos not give
birth to some Indian outrage, aa if to keep that
fact forever before our eyes. I it surprising
that "the unfortunat inhabitants of Tubac aro
diminishing in umbers and that thsir homes are
going to decny ?
A Wosd to "Exquisites :" A good, orderly
system of eocity is a aomothing very desirable
in overy community. It has a tendancy to
rertrain rough and unbecoming habits; even
the jester must confine himself within certain
limits if he would not he expUd. For imUnce,
you must not stick out your tongue in derision,
wi2k with one ye, or in any other manner
maui'est your bad breeding un'esi at cartain
times; nor will it do to make an overt assertion
of your opinions regarding that lady's affecta
tion or her pitiful presumption and there are
a number of other things which must not be
dono unless you bo prepared to throw down the
gauntUt and set public opinion and your own
obslinacy at loggerheads, and then take aback
seat to watch the contest. But it does notfol
low that an individual, to be respectable, must
adopt ereryair known ir. dunghill circles, from
the strut of the turkey-cock to the sile-waya
march of chanticieer, such a disposition on tie
part of any one is quite sufficient to convince
the traveled spectator that there is . "screw
loose soraewere" iu the machiery of Fuszle's
head. It might thernfore be a wis conclusion
for those who jo strenuously labor to impress
the public with an idta of their own excellence,
to satisfy themselves that a sound and cnltivat
ed mind will no more expect to find brains in
a fop than it will to be presented with a suit
made from the ethereal blue and trimmed with
fragments of the rainbow. They arp only fools
who cannot detect and duly appreciate ar
foctation.

vided tho running time be not abridged, lio may
alio oraer an incieaio oi speeu, allowing, within
tho rcsirietions of tho law a pro rata increaso of
pay for the additional stock or oaniers, if any.
'Ihj contractor may, however, in the case of in
crease of speed, reliuquish(the contrao!;, by "ivinc
prompt notice to tho department that he prefers
doing so to carrying the order into effect. The
Postmaster General may also discontinue or curtail
the rvicc, in whole or in part, in order to placo
on tho rcuto a greater degree of sorrico, when
over tho public.interests, in his judgment, shall
require such discontinuance er curtailment for any
other cause; ho allowing as full inJomnity to
contraetor one month's extra pay on tho amount
of service dispensed with, and a pro rata c .in
ponsutiou for the amount of servico retained and
continued.
Payments will bo niado for tho service by collec
tions from or drafts on oatmasters, or othorwiso
after tho expiration of eaeh quarter i y in No
vember, February, May, and August.
The distances arc given according to the best
information; but no increase pay will bo allowtd
should they os greater than advertised, if the
point3 to be supplied bo correctly stated, Uiddors
u.ust inform themselves ou this point.
Bidders are requested ts use, as fur ci practi
cable, the printed form of proposal furnished br
the department, to writ-j out in full the Sum of
their bids, and to retain copies of them.
Each bid mu3t be guaranteed by two respon
sible persons. 1
The bid should be sealed, superscribed "alxil
Proposals, Territory of Arisoua," addroased 'Sc
comt Ass.stant Pustmnstor Goneral, Contwot
Ofiice," and sent by mail, not by or to a-n
agent, -and Postmasters will not enclose proposals
(or letters of any, kind) in their quarterly
morns. 7
lho contracts are to bo executed and relumed
to the department by or before' tho 1st ufJjr
186'J ; but the servico must be begun ou that da?
or on tho next mail Uy thereafter, whether thd
contracts bo executed r not. Transfers of con
tracts, or o. interest? in contracts, are forbidden
by law, and coutoquently not allowed. Lid-Jew
will thercluro :ake notico that they will bo re
quire! to perform the service Rcceptod to thJ
through tho wbole terai oi the contract.
Section eighteen of an act of congress approved '
Mirch 3, li:4a, provide that contracts for tj,a
transportation of tho mail shall be at, jn cver
caso, to the lewest bidder tendering sufficient
guarantees for faithful performance, without oth
er referenco to tho inodo of transportation than -may
be neeessary to provide for the hii c'lri'f7
certainty, and security of snch transportation "
Under this law, bids that propose to to' transport -the
mail with ''colerity, certainty, and security"
having been le idod to be tl.oonly legal bids aro'
construed a3 providing for the entiro mail, bow
ever large, and whatever may be ths modo of
conveyance necessary to cn.urc its "celerity, cer
tainty, and security;" and no others will be' con
sidered. Except in the case of railroad and steam
boat routes, bids naming any particular mode of
conveyance are invariably rejected.
A modification of a bid in any of its ossontial
terms is tantamount to a new bid and cannot be
received, so a3 to intorfcrc with a regular com
j ctition, after tho last hour set i jr reeeivfti" bids.
.Making a new bid with guarantee and certificate'
is tho only way tj modify a previous bid. '
Postmasters aro to be careful not to certifiy to
the sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without
knowing that they are persons of sufficient respon
sibility ; a disregard of this instruction by " post
masters is a violation . of thoir oath of office,
subjecting thorn to immediate removal. All bid
ders, guarantors, and sureties aro distinctly noti
fied that on a failure to ontcr into or perform
tho contracts for tho servico proposed for in tho
accepted bids, thoir legal liabilities wiil be en
forced against them.
Present contractors, aad por3ons known at the
department, must, equally with others, procure
guarantors and certificates, of their luficieney,
in tno tonus auovo prescnoeu. xne certificate of
sufficiency must bo signed by. a postmaster, or by
a judge of a court of record; no other will be
