PLACES. New and Valuable Tide Table for 110 Places. To find the time of high-water at any of the places named in the following table, add time indicated in the first column of figures to the time of "Moon South," or "Moon on Meridian," found in the calendar pages. If the result is more than 12 hours from noon, the time will be the next day in the morning; and if more than 12 hours from midnight, the time will be in the afternoon of the same day. The tide thus found is the first after the Moon's culmination. The second tide occurs 12 hours and 26 minutes later than the first. Establishm PLACES. Establishm't Hight of of Port Spring Tide.

When the shadow cast by the Sun reaches the noon-mark, set the clock at the time given in calendar pages of this Almanac, in the column of "Sun at Noon-mark," and it will be exactly right. If a meridian line is used instead of a noon-mark, the passing the lines by the Sun's center is the moment for setting the clock. Any skillful surveyor can make a noon-mark or meridian lines of small brass or copper wires. In doing so, he must allow for the variation of the magnetic needle from a true or astronomical north and south line. Morning Stars. Venus (?) from February 23 to December 8. Evening Stars. Venus until February 23. Mars until March 12, and all of 1871. Jupiter untii May 24, and after September 18. A Table of Sixty-one Bright Stars. To ascertain when any Star found in the following Table will be on the upper meridian, add the numbers opposite in the left-hand column of figures to the time of "Sidereal Noon" found in the calendar pages. For the RISING of a star, subtract the number opposite in the right-hand column of figures from its meridian passage. For the setting of a star, add the same number to its meridian passage. Those marked (....) revolve in a circle of perpetual apparition, and do not rise nor set north of the latitude of New York (40° 42′ 40''), for which latitude the semi-diurnal arcs are calculated. The civil day begins at midnight, and consequently 24 hours after mid night, or 12 hours from noon, is morning of the succeeding day; and more then 24 hou's from noon, is evening of the next day. From 12h. to 24h. from midnight, or from Oh. to 12h. from noon, will be in the afternoon of the same day. This table is arranged in the order of culmination. Surveyors and Civil Engineers may obtain the declination of the magnetic needle by observations on the Pole Star when upon the meridian, or when at the greatest elongation east or west. POLARIS and other stars pass the lower meridian 11h. 58m, after their upper transit. To the time of upper transit of Polaris, add 5h. 54m. and it gives the time of greatest western elongation. If the 5h. 54m. be subtracted from the time of upper transit, it will give the time of greatest eastern elongation. Observations made at the time of greatest elongation are less liable to error than those made at the time of transit. The mean distance of Polaris from the pole this year is 1° 23′ 154". To find its azimuth for any latitude, take from 18.3828965 the logarithmic cosine of the latitude, and the remainder is the logarithmic sine of the azimuth.

There was no Territorial nominating convention, although the Democrats of Yavapai County urged one, and failing to secure it, met at Wickenburg, and nominated John A. Rush for Delegate. A vigorous appeal was made to the Democracy throughout the Territory to support him, and he received some Union votes in central and western Arizona upon local grounds, but Governor Richard C. McCormick, who had been brought forward as an Independent Union candidate, was elected by the largest majority yet given a delegate from the Territory. The vote Adams, Independent Democrat, 186. Total, stood: For McCormick, 1263; for Rush, 644; for 2093. In Yavapai County, Democrats only were chosen to the Legislature; in the other four counties the tickets were made up without regard to party, and the members elected are about equally divided politically.
