It is seldom in American politics that me popular will cf tho pcoplo nre rer. mitted to choose their candidates fqr,, 1'resident nnd vim .PmaMnnf evident long before the meeting of the iUjpubhcnn convention that James Q Blaine was tho choice ot the llepubli- enns ot tao whole counhy. Arthur was a strong candidate in certain onarlnrs IiOgan and Edmunds vcro backed by a powonui roiiowmg and a strong effort was made for each of those candidates the Arthur and Edmunds men bending evory effort to break thoPlumedKnight's line, out it wns too i-tronc and stoadv On the night of the nomination the only genuine enthusiasm was forlllaine. The Arthur men felt the tidal wave was com mg winch engulfed thorn. No uower on earth could stay it When tho third ballot was taken giving Blaine 373, and Arthur !I4, tho cheering shoot the building. There was, on the part of tho Xew York delegation an effort to break tho wavo npon n technicality in regard to a motion for recess, which motion was defeated by a vote of 450 to 3G1. the re sult being received with deafening cheers it being interpreted by theBlaine men as sure victory. About this time Senator Cullom of Illinois roso and said, he wished to read a dispatch received from General Loiran. Objection were made, for this looked sus picionsit looked as if tho Lo gan vote was about to be trans ferred to Blaiho nnd it produced long and loud cheers. A number of delegates attempted to be heard, but their voices were drowned in tbe storm of cheers for a call of the rolL Cullom in the midst of the cenfution and enthusiasm with drew the name ot Logan nnd cast tho SI votes of Illinois for Blaine, which pave Ulaino 414 and then read tho fol lowing dispatch from General Logan. Tho Republicans cf the states that must be relied upon to elect the Presi dent, having so strongly shown a pref erence lor .Mr. limine. I deom it my duty not to stnnd in the way of tho peo ple's choice and recommend my friends to ai'fcitit in his nomination. Jou:; A. Looan. The fifth vote resulted in giving Blaine 541 and Arthur 277. Before these figures were announced the vast audience rose nnd' broke out into another wild demonstration of enthu siasm. nc band struck up an inspiring air. Before the last fignres pronounced by McPherron, the vast audience rose aud broke out into another wild demonstration of enthusiasm. The band struck up an inspiring air. Hats were blown off and national flags were waved at large. A banner from Kansas was carried through the hall promising large majorities in that state for Blaine and its two uprights capped with new brooms. A stuffed eagle from Colorado was also carriod around in the prose sion. The roar of artillery outside was beard rotnauaglini; with the 1 -der roar of voices inside, nnd amid grent enthusiasm. As soon after as possible the nomination was made unanimous, amidst n storm of appl.msc. Ibis was at 4-13; after which tho convention ad journed until 8 o'clook iu the evening. Logan's friends began to clamor for the old war horse and stateman for vico presidcnt, ami in a few minutes after the convention convened Logan was nominated by acclnmatioa. Such a ticket as this will sweep tho coun try as it ought. These men will bo elected. There is not a dissenting voice New York was htiff-backed for Edmunds, but there was no earthly show for him. Tho people did not want him, and we believe that all bitterness in New York will be buried out of sight, and tho whole rank and file wheol into line. We cveu go so far as to fcay that Boscoe Conkling will tako tho stump for Blaine nnd Logan. It is Conkling's op portunity, and no man can do more in New York than Conkling. New York, under tho circumstances, will give Blaine nnd Logan a good majority. This ticket settles the Democracy. Tilden must be their candidate, but there is fcarcely a hoi left in their hearts. Pa cific coast Democrats, howover, will vote for Blaine, or nt least many, nnd others are satisfied with him." It is not uece sary to tell our readors where Blaine aud Logan wero born, how old they are, how long they have served the people, or in what capacity. There is scarcely a schoolboy that cau not answer the questions. Their names aro a3 familiar with the people as house hold words. They are loved beyond the ordinary degree in which nominees nre generally held. Blaine battled for long years against foes in tho halls of Con gress, and in war Logan battled for right and liberty. For over twenty years now these men have fought and risked their lives for tho country. They arc American citizens in every sense of the word. No two men have labored nnd striven so hard to advance this country and been nioro successful than Blaine nnd Logau. This is their reward ele vated to tho highest position in tbo gift of the American people a proud dis tinctionthe proudest in the lsnd, for it is n foregone conclusion that they will be elected. The gentlemen who were indicted by tho special grand jury, with three or four exceptions, have been county and city officials. Mnlfeasauce und wilful neglect of official duty aro tho charges. There has been no stealing of funds, nor fraud. Those gentlemen with one or two exceptions have stood in this community, and in ttio territory hish in social and financial circles. They are among our most respected citizens, aud no matter how lightly they tako it, or how nearly tho report is being made a bnrlesquo by tho community, it is a severe blow upon theso people, and if the grounds aro not well taken aud can be substantiated, it is a shame and a dis grace. Such wholesale indictment as this, from among tho best citizens, is something scarcely ever heard ot be fore. The community is divided in their opinion. There aro thoe who, of course, are with tho grand jury and they say now we have started the ball wo want yon people to keep it rolling until they nil are rooted out nnd their power .forever broken in this community. There is a disposition or a fceliug that one portion of tho community or the otuer must bo downed. Tlioro ere other. a large numbor, who pronounce the proceedings ot tho grand jury disgraee- lul and contend that that t!:r is noth K iu mo records to justify any such proceediugs.

Judge Fitzgerald will re turn from Florence in nbout two weeks when it is thought the trial of these parties will come of. Of courjo it is of tho highest importance to the inter, st of tho community and the people, thnt when officials nro charged with crime to bring it to an issuo and have the matter decided us quickly ns ios3ible. There is one thing certain that men's characters in this community are recklessly handled by designing people, nnd we have no hositancv in savim? thnt wn have no doubt but such appeared before tho grand jury, but it is not our inten tion to say anything iijwn this matter until there nre more fasts presented. A man is said to bo innocent until ho is proven guilty, and tho least said in the newspapers just at this time, in our oniniou the better. We could easily abuse tho grand jurors and show very conclusively from one 6tand point that the wholo thing was a put up job, disgraceful in the extreme, nud from an other wo could shuw t iat there was a greit deal moro behind that had not been brought to light. The matter is not simply un accusation unauthor ized, but a charge which is to be decided by the facts aud tho law, therefore wo aro of the opinion that tho matter should not lie discus-ted iu tho newspapers until the law had been satisfied, aud perhaps not then. If these men are guilty their dit-grace need not ll iE&RAPH CniKACo, June C -:13 a. m.

Ihe iimeci refra:ns from predictions and eayj: None of tho nominating speeches equalled those of Conkling and uaruoid four years ago, It is generally thought the result will nos be reached to-day, unless there should be a second Efssion.

We, in this commnnity. nre lowu to bed-rock on all sides, and though the storm has burst nnd Ihiiips look gloomy, wo believe there it ten times the fuse made there is any neces sity for. Some thiugs that have been done nro cal-uluted to bring out a more healthy state of affairs. That men and officers will be more careful iu the discharge of the routine of their indi vidual und official duties, is certainly to be expected in the future. It is a fearful thing to be aocu-ed ot official crime, and it should not be done except wltertt there is good grounds for u; a stroke ot a en may blast n good character and break the man down for life.

A now and correct map of Arizona will accompany each copy. Ia a word, noth ing will be omitted in the forthcoming work relative to our varied resources, which can boot intercut topooplo either nt home or abroad. The book will bo neatlv bound and will bo just tho worko send to parties seeking information about Arizona.

The work is being liberally patronized in other portions of the Territory, nnd we have no doubt will receive generous support in Tucson. A tew days ago we published a dis patch saying there was yellow fever at Gunymia. The following day it was denied. Letters from Uormosillo and Guaymas published in the ElFronterizo ot this city say thai yellow fever is in Hermoiillo and Guaymas bnt in a very mild form; that two persons have died at Hormosillo, one of whom came from Guaymas. Tho Heraiosillo letter says tho hoalth officer and prefect at thnt place aro suppressin? the facts, and tho Guaymas letter says that tho prefect at Guaymas has proclaimed that ho will fine or imprison any one wno maj say or beliove there is yellow fever in Uuay- ,v. The letter says this prefect is tho man wno ran away xrom iuo fever last year; however, we presume there is no doubt ot the .existence of yellow fevor in thaw places, but as yet it has not become an epidemic. TnE Kepublican platform has in it n plank that will gratify the citizens ot tho territories, recommending that tho Presidont appoint officers in tho terri tories fr.'m bjna fide citizen.

The following is tho platform: Republican? of tho United States in National convention assembled renew their allegiance to the principles iijon which they huve tri umphed iu mx .successive presidential elections aud Mngratulate the Amori c in peopI on the attainments of so many results iu the legislation and ad ministration by which the Republican party has. after Faviug the Union, done so niuca to render its institutions just, equal aud benificeut. The safeguard of liberty and tho embodiment ot the best thought and highest purposes ot our cit izens. Tho Republican party has gain ed its strength by quick and careful re sponse to the demands of the people for freedom aud the equality of men for a united nation: assuring the rights of all citizen;; for the elevation of labor: for an honest currency; for purity in legis lation, nnd for integrity and accounta bility in all or the departments of the government; and it accepts anew tho duty o! leading in tho work of progress and reform. We lament the death ot President Garfield whose sound states manship, long conspicuous in congress, giving promise of a strong and success ful administration, a promise fully real ized duriug the short period of his office a president of the United Slates; his distinguished success in war and peace, have endeared him to the hearts of American people. In the administra tion of President Arthur we recognize a wise, c Jutervative and patriotic policy; under which the country has been bless ed with remarkable prosperity. We be lieve his eminent services aro entitled to and will receive the. hearty approval of every citizen. It is the first duty of a good govern ment tJ protect tbe riirhts and interests of its own iHwple. The largest diversity of iodttry is most productive of general piwperitv and of the comfort nnd inde pendence' of tho people and taxpayer witbont injuring the laborer or the great productive interests of the country. We recognise the importance of sheep hus bandry in the United States. The seri ous depression which it is now experi encing and the danger threatening its future prosperity, and we respect the demands of their representative of this industry for a readjustment of the duty upon foreign wool, in order that such industrv shall have a full nnd adequate protection. We therefore demand that the imposition of duties on foreign im nnrfif shall be made, not for revennb onlv. lint that in raising the requisite BegginB never loses his gallantry.

Editob Ciikrx: Referring to a leader in the Citizen of the 5th instant discussing the prep:-- J actios of the city council, and apilogiiDff or rather defending tbeir artiun in pledging tbe city jndifinitely. I desire to Mtppiement tbe article referred to by a few feta thit may hnvo escaied the writer's notieo ia the heat ot ineubation. 1st. Tho city council has notcon fintd itself to the ir-suo of one note for $5,000; ou the contrary, notes have betn issued during the last 18 mouths to the extent of Eonio $21,000, asd the game has evidently no limits. 2nd. luefle notes aro mi. mtt.ufciv anticipations a', tho current yeai's in come, the facts being that thanko to the newly invented ami facile method of raising .ho wind, tbe expenses of 1SS3 were made to exceed the revenue by about $8,900, and a f:r calculation of this year's receipts and disbursements will show a difficiency of some $(i,0Oi. 3rd. The facile financiers who operate with the city funds will doubt lessly toon organise their efforts in the direction oLnnother authorization from Prescott to issue some more bonds to cover tbe new ilc&ting iudchteness, and tho ttmig will go on until oine nnt that has something to ke, takes hold of the financial problem aud cut the innuicuwl coat according to the municipal cloth. I tli. lucre is nothing in the charter authoriziug the council to create a flout ing dobt, on tho contrary overythiun i therein especially prohibits this, ami the gr .nd jury not hnving the liberty of action or the profundity of witoni ne cessarily pertaining to outsiders, have given tho people who pay the piper a chance to learn how the piper plays. otn. According to the sense ( or non sense; ot the council as exhibited at their meeting of yesterday thev aro seri ously inclined to play tho devil in tho hope of discouraging the Lrand jury fri.ni further "persocuti n" of eminently respectable and intelligent gentlenteo though perhaps funny financiers and peculiarly constructed patriots and pul lic servants. Cth. Solon having made laws 'or hia couutry.extracted frum the people a vow that they would nut repeal or violate them until his return, and with this un derdtauding he sailed away for an un limited period, distributing wisdom pro miscously over the earth. So Mr. Hugh Farley has probably endeav ored to imitate Solon iu one rei-pect, but it is to be regretted that he was not bound up with the rett ot the city char ter iu order to furnish its readers with the explanation so necessary to its com prehension. 7th.- Of course, the average taxpayer would be delighted to learn that the city council can pledge tbe city's credit nt its own sweet will ami pleasure, and tb honor of eventually becoming the best taxed nud most bankrupt city iu tfce. Territory might mitigate the inconveni ence of tying up your pant with a rha -faculty,'' together with the other little incidental evils. In conclusion. I earnestly recommend some people to "go to the ant aud learn from her ways to be wiso." Taxpayer. Taxpayer is a little previous in mak ing the btatemeot that tbe Citizkn is iu favor of pledging the city's credit indef initely. The facts do not justify any such statement, but as it answers the purpose of Taxpayer iu order to get iu his work, wo allow the statement to o without further comment nt this time.

Thiapoit will be the headquarters of the Fourth cavalry and while our people regret to pari with Gen.

CoL Ryall while in command at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, by his many genial qualities and devotion to the trusts imposed upon him in trying times won the svmntbies and good will of the entire territory and bis reception here will therefore be of a raot cordial YntnrA The Fourth cavalry band, one ot the best in th service will also be stationed at Fort Lowell.

San Makcial, N. M., June 5, 18S4. EnrroR CnrzKN: The Rio Grande ia on a big boom, the delay to traius being iu most instances from overflow and not washouts; at Rincon the cars run up to their axles part of the way, and the track is considered safe enough to pass slowly over. Below it is said to be bad ly overflowed and washed out and will not be run over again for some time. At this place there is no trouble; there is a tine iron bridge just beinsr finished here:- it is a hnndsome piece ot work. Beyond here tho track is badlv under wrVr. 1) o'clock last night we were turned ou llateurK bag and bag.:uire. run nn the track two miles (with water as far as we could see either side! and after keeping us there until 2 a.m., brought us back and wo turned in for the re mainder of the night. This morning they-broke our train and sent half of it back to Deming for local beuefit, and to have cars to bring moro east. Ve may get through some timo to-day, as last night we got iu sight of the headlight of tho other train, though there are said to be some bad breaks between it and Socorro. This town is all under water. To got about they have to use boats or make high grado walks. Tho eating station hero is ex ceedingly good and the charge only fifty cents a meal. Yesterday wo had one party gunning after another and one fet fight, to say nothing of several dog fights. The only place that is out of water is the car track in front of the depot. It is said to bo ten years since the river was near its present height, aud it is not expected to fall until tho snow is well melted. Tho railroad is raising its tracks, and I presume after a week or ten days will run ou time, though before that trains will get through. High water takes up all the time and attention. You do not even hear the convention alluded to. A poor tramp who had been stealing a ride ou the cross beam of the brake, in trying to get out at Riuccn had his foot niu over so that it had to bo cut off wheu he got here. L. W. In Memory of Little Charlie McComas. Tccron, June 7, 1SS1.

Sinco which time, the child ia supposed to have wandered uaJ ,., iuc or tne envugei, aud died of wrnt ia Krac of tho canyons ot thoe rugged bills. In the construction ot the heretofore mentioned narrative, the writer adhered to the reported facts as they were given to the public by tho press, and hi.-, purpose was not to cast aspersions upon our nation's honor, nor to censure anyone of dirulictioti of duty.
