Arizona Sunday Bill Defeated

The chaplain of the Arizona Legislature writes us that the Sunday bill recently before that body has failed to become a law because of the failure, or rather refusal, of the Governor to sign it. The first Sunday bill introduced was defeated, but the matter was not allowed to rest there. The women of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union had another bill introduced, for which they worked so diligently that it passed both Houses, but failed to meet the approval of the chief executive of the Territory, and, as our correspondent says, "The people of Arizona are still free to worship according to the dictates of their consciences."
