THE FOURTH LEGISLATURE.

The Fourth Legislature of Arizona is in 1 session. It meets at an important time and much is expected of it. The first question for consideration is that of our Indian troub les. These are at the foundation of all the difficulties our pioneers have to contend with. What it is best to do to overcome them is a matter for the cautious and earnest examna- ton of every member To live longer as we have been living in Arizona since it came un- der the American flag with our lives in con stant jeopardy, our property unsafe, and our business enterprises subjected to the most annoying interruptions, is more than we should be expected to do.
 The Legislature should come to an under standing as to the best course to pursue in order to secure relief, and follow that course with tho utmost energy Of purpose We hear the Governor will recommend the cree ton of separate military Department, which we think the good sense of all the people will endorse as q vital necessity. We have had enough of orders from a distance No officer can work to advantage under them. but must be guided by affairs as he finds them upon the ground. It is simply ridicu- lous to think of military success in Indian war when control of operations is in the hands of others than those directly engaged
 in the conflict.
 To ask for distinct Department would seem to be the first step to be taken by the Legislature, and the next matter of conse- quence is to apply for an addition to the mil itary force here, which is wholly inadequate to cope with the number of hostile Indians now to be fought. Whether this force shall be from the regular army, or whether it is best to raise 1t from our own people is ques- ton that the Legislators must decide. The efficiency of the companies of the first regi- ment of Arizona Volunteers (although but four companies were in the field) Ess such

that the " iron-clad " must be administered to members of the Legislature, or their acts would all be illegal
 The letters herewith published are full endorsement of the opinion of Hon. Coles BashEord, late Attorney General of the Ter ritory, as given in letter published in the MINER of January 10, 1866, and they also sustain the view taken by the Governor and Secretary since the first discussion of the subject in the Territory. In this connection it is but justice to the members of the Leg isature to assert that, so far as we have heard, none of them have objected to taking the iron-cla1n if considered incumbent upon them under the act of Congress.

THE LEGISLATIVE OATH.

As there has been some talk this year, al though less than heretofore, regarding the necessity of the members of the Legislature taking the oath of July ?, 1862, or the "iron' clad" as it is commonly called here, we print the following letter to the Governor in answer to one sent by him, while in San Francisco last winter, at the time there was trouble on the subject in Idaho.
 It will be seen that the outcry made by certain parties here against the Legislatures being content with the simple oath as pre- scribed by the Code of the Territory, is in no wise sustained, and the authorities cer tainly are such as should satis every one that the Government does not require that the members of the Legislature should take the s iron-clad :"

do his duty With unpretendiug, noseless
energy, that mekcshim a marked man.
General Hayes is no political hen that
oackles unpleosauily over every fresh egg,
nor is he Bisios Phtitude whose wisdom
