TRUXTON, Nov. 10.
Considerable excitement was created in
our little village last Friday, caused by
the appearance Of gentleman claiming to
hail from Illinois, who gave his name as
Joseph SaDguinette, and who claimed to
be the legal husband Of Mr.. V, s. Cor
don's wife The facts IN the case, SO far
as we can learn, are about as follows !:
Some three months ago MIR. Gordon
went to the State Of Illinois and married,
as he supposed, the widow of Joseph
Sanguinette, and returned to this place
with his wife. where he has been living
ever since. Last Friday the said Joseph
appeared and claimed Gordon's new wife
Joseph stated that about seven years ago
he married Mrs Gordon in illinois; that
shortly afterwards he went to California,
and has been living there until the last
few weeks; that he had frequently writ
ten to his wife, but had never received
an answer to any Of his letters. The
lady says that she had not received any
letters from her husband and that she
supposed he was dead, aud 80 when Mr..
Gordon proposed, she accepted, aud was
duly married to him. The question OF
legal ownership being left to the lady, she
concluded to go with her former husband
Gordon yielded his claim, and Monday
morning Joseph Sanguinette and lady
departed for illinois. N. u. p.

aG4IyS'p REDUCTNG THE ARMY.

Inthe discusslon in the U. s. Senate Wilson's Army bill. Senator Stewart of Nevada protest ed against reduciug the Army while the h. dians were so troublesome in the Territories He spoke 50 forcebly and trathiully of tho state of affairs in Arizona to excite the follow ing commen nt from the Washington ChronjeIe which paper hai before been inclined toward tue Quaker side of the question
 Speaking of Arizon;. and tho utterly made ouate military force there, Mir. Stewart stated explicitly that Indian murders thers are oi almost daily occurrence; that from 1854 to l869. lG8 whites were thus slain, and the names dates, places, and all the particulars ot ese outrages are given. As many as 200 more are estimated to have perished in the same manaer Some of these poor people were subjected to those horrible tortureS which the sayages know so well how to inilict In one county, the largest in the Territory and in ihe space of eighteen months, one ninth of the entire people had been killed Ar. Stewart referred also to New Mexico; in single one of whose counties there were, h 1869, forty four distinct Indian attacks, and arge number killed. The Senator further stated that in the entire departmant commanded by General Sheridan, as reported by the General himself as many as l,2O0 assassinations by Indians have occurred during the last six years-as- sassinstions of men, women and children, who were settlers and ns worthy and good people as any that ever. iu early times, settled ju New England or Virginia.
 It seems too dreadful for belief that there are now reenacting in portions ofour country the bloody tragedies which darkenedthe history of New EngIand ia Colonial times The nation holds in it's bosom 9 race Of sayages who are butchering and murderiug every year hun dreds ofits citizens
 In view of auch facts the Senate did well in acceding to smaller reduction Of the army than was at first proposed Thirty thousand men, the number of the rank and Gle as pro vided in the bill which passed the Senate, are not more than enough to meet the military emergencies which are upon us"

 The policy of transporting supplies, for tha use Of the trOops in Arizona, via Guayslas has at length been properly considered and ,bs result ;s the abandonment of this route and the conclusion arrived at .o import sup- plies via Yuma-Messrs, Hooper, Whiting < Go. having obtained from government tke contract to deliver supplies by this latter route. Tais is exactly as justice to the peo- pla of this Territory and the security of the supplies brought io demand that 1t sb bould be- If in the importation of government freight there exist an opportunity to make an honest penny sach opportunity must in justice be ac- corded the man who have done most toward the Q aiyEucemeut of the Territory and who still cont.une with manly zeal to advocate its best interests-sparing neither pains nor ez- pense in efforts to promote the public interests and to defeat Felf6h orintereated trickery; and again, if the settlers along the route by which these 5upl'es wilI be conveyed are to reap ad- vantage from the traffic produced thea 1t is enly justice that sach settlers be American citizens or American territory, and not, as heretofore, Mexican citizens on Mexican ter ritory. Ee regret, however, the existence of causes which will not allow us to believe that tho government in deciding in favor of the Yuma route above that via Guaymas had the interests of its citizens and settlers in Arizona st heart That a contract was ever let by any other route proves conclusiveIy that such were uot an object, To the disturbed state oc affairs iu oonora-purticuiariy the recent rails at Guaymas and Hermosilo, at the for mer of which places the custom house " sacked by force of armed flabpsters- rendering transis through lhatcoun:y insecure, w. may justly consider ourselves indebted for tlis julicious conclusion which bids far to in- fuse naw life into g once thriving, but subse- qasntly neglected section of country.

ed by law.

The Hon. Thos. Fitch of Nevada recently
 made telling speech in Congress in favor of Railroad Land Grants and on the Indian policy of the government Of the red devils and ther worthlessness he spoke in plain aud pointed terms which will excite awarm response in Arizona. We quite as @ follows:
 The construction of railaoads will also afford a thorough and economical adjustment of.the Indian question. We have On the one hand misguided philanthropy which degen- crates into sicky sentimentality aud find Its sequence in deeds of savage perfdy and oui rage that make the blood run cold. We have on the other hauG Q spirit ol retri9uliYe justice and relentless hatred of the offeding race, which does uot always, pernaps, discreminate in it's action, and which shocks the ears Of uninformei civilization vita the expression of its belief ;haG the good Indians are the dead Indians. Sir, live throw an iroa laria5 about this yisious beast who demands nothing less that that civilization shall stop her march in order that the solitude of his hunting grounds may not be invaded, We shall thereby speedily solve ghe problem of "ghat to do with the Indian" The Sboshone and th3 buffalo viii be domeaticated, the Apache and the panther
 
 contractors will lose their present prt fta5!e vacations; but the Treasury will be relieved from their assaults. and the pubic frightened of the burden of their suport.
 If the swarthY, sloihtul, filthy, murderoaa 'wards of the nation" are of race so sacred that they alone deserve exemtion from the operations of the primal curse; if the labor Oftbe land must be burdened with their sup ort, We can at least lessen the iuaicti0o and the risk by giving then that supportin locah ties nearer 10 jaiis and markets, We could furnish every Iudianin the country with a suite of rooms at hyst-cags New York hotel with l less expense to the nation than Is involved in | the present mode of dealing with them, We had better bring them. in from the plains and l forests of the West, and scatter them through the Atlantic State, there to be maiatained in | idleuesg, than to exclude the settler from those plains an forests in order that the Indian may receive his winter supply of provision ct fifty l cents a pound freight and enjoy his summer pastime of houting bufal0es aud emigranI calp9.
 If 1t is the experince of centuries that the Indian cannot be domes'icated, then 1t is time for us 10 domestioate the idea that the con. tinued existence of the Indian is by no mean . necessary for any wise or benefcent purpose whatever. Let the noble rcd man who exists only in Fenimore Cooper's novels and Vim cen. CoIyer's fancy, and the dirty, degraded, . treacherous, cowardIy wh0rthless, wicked, wild . human beast who exists in fact, be barishad l from our eastern literature and our western frontier and let us have order and peace and progress and land of homes and har7ests in his rlace"
