it adds nothing to the utility Of the notes, i,

furtherance Of which the notes are issued.
Nor can it, in our judgment, be upheld as
such il, while facilitating in some degree the
circulation Of the notes, It debases and in
jures the currency in its proper use to a much
greater degree.
And these considerations seem to US equal
ly applicable to the powers to regulate COM
merce and borrow money. Both powers ne
cessarily involve the use of money by the
people and BY the Government; but neither,
as we think, carries with it as an appropriate
and plainly-adapted means to exercise, the
power of making circulating notes legal
tender in payment of pre-existing debts.
Here, then, is a man who in 1862 was
willing to throw his influence, which
belonged to him "a the head of the
Treasury Department, in favor of law
which made greenbacks a legal tender
for - all debts, public and private"
and who, in 1870, being in a place
where he could repudiate his former
action and thereby threaten injury to
government aud a people against whom
his disappointed ambition turns with
the bitterness of revenge, exercises all
the ingenuity at his command to weaken
the very measure which he was so in
in forcing upon the country
This comes of the great, sad mistake of
President Lincoln's life-elevating to
the Supreme Bench . man who has never
been anything greater than q mere poll
tician whose cankering ambition led him
to look forward to the Presidency as
a means for gratifying a selfish and
sordid lust Of power. Chase, Field,
Nelson and Clifford are the quartette to
whom the country must charge this
quibbliug decision a quar-,
tette comprised of two renegades from
the Republican party, and two Copper
heads whose fGssilized opinions and
prejudices date back, unchanged and
to the days of John
Tyler aud James Buchanan.

An occasional correspondent at Hardyvilie, Mohave county writing under date of Jan uary Sth, says:

THE FRAsKISG PRIvILEGE.-It pleases us to know that their is at least one officer in President Grants Cabinet who exerts him self in the interest of the people. Postmas- ter-General Creswel is doing his best to have the infamous Franking Privilege abolished, and all good, honest citizens, who pay their own postage, should not fail to affix their signatures to the petitions pow in circulation it this Territory, praying Congress to abol- ish the unjust privilege.

Jon WoRK.-During the past week, the MINER has printed and bound in books an immense number of blank licenses, etc, for Yuma county, and although we have not made much profit on the job we thank the officials of Yuma county for their patronage. The MINER does it's best to advance the interests of every section of the Territory, and, as it is the only establishment in the Territory that prints a newspaper and turns out decent job-work, it has a right to expect the patron age of citizens in whose interest it is pub. lished

CASTOR BEANs.--The Pacific Lnseed Oil and Lead Works at San Francisco advertise their willingness to purchase an unlimited amount of Castor Beans. As there is now a market open, the cultivation of the castor bean might be tried in this Territory. In this connection it may be we'll to give the 'aofygs eperandf pursued in cultivation, for the benefit of those who are not conyersant with the matter. After preparing the ground as for corn, mark the rows six feet apart, leaving aroadway eight feet wide every eight rows, for wagons to pass while gathering the crop. Plant last of March, leaving but one plant in a bill after they are well up. Cultivate the same as corn. Five pounds of seed per acre will suffice, and 1 200 to 1,5o0 pounds is the average crop gathered. The plants grow with great rapidity, and the cultivation of the crop is said to increase the fertility of the soil. When the spikes are fit to pick, which can be known by the color changing tored from green, go through the eight foot rows with the wagons, and have plenty of men with baskets, as they get too ripe very soon after the color changes and drop from the stalk to the ground and are lost. Make apiece of ground perfectly smooth like a brick yard, and spread the beans over it about two inches deep. They will pop out from the heat of the sun, and may be cleaned with flaming mill.

TUcsoS.-A private letter recently received by us from F. NJ.

We have fought Tucson, and are prepared to do so again, whenever she un- dertakes to injure us, as she has done. But, so long as she minds her own business and thrives on her own resources, we do not care to place more thorns in her path.

CAMP MCDOWELL, A. T., Jan. l6, 1870.
 EpiroR ARIZONA MINER: For some time past, Delashayee, an Indian Chief of the Reno or Tonto Indians, has been, with some of his tribe, stopping at Camp Reno. The other day. the Doctor at the Post called Delashayee to him. in his tent The Indian, not sus- pecting any harm, walked to the door of the tent and opened it, saying. "Hny bueno." The doctor saluted him with bullet from six-shootcr. It is supposed that the wound must prove fatal. The Indian, however, walked slowly away until he was outside of the post line, when he gave q yell or two and started off on run, his people all fol- lowing. Since that time they, or some other Indians have made several raids on the set tiers at Phoenix, and on the Gila river.
 On the Sth, they stole three horses from Mir. Starr, and two from Mexican, at Ph@- nix. On the 10th, they took five from Frank Metzler Gall he hadD About the same time one horse and one mule were taken from Salt River Station, on the Mcdowell road. l also hear that they have stolen several head o animals from Florence and vicinity-alto- gether, about twenty-five head in one week
 don't think we can stand it long at thi' rate. Either the Apache will have to gC elsewhere for something to eat, or go hungry for we can't feed him long-our stock vii | give out.
 The General commanding this post sen some troops in pursuit of the thieves, wheI applied to by some of the parties who hac lost animals. They returned last night; sav some Indians, but did not get close enough t kill them. None of the stock has been re captured. TRUrH.

WHY Nor PATRoSIzE HoME IxDUsTRy- This is question we would like to have an swered by at least one of our Territorial officials-the Treasurer. We recently re- ceived letter from the office of that func- tionary, the heading of which, we firmly be- lieye, was printed in California or the East. Now, if our suspicious about the matter be correct, it is quite plain that the Treasurer, John B. Allen, is opposed to patronizing home industry, else he would have given the job to either the MINER or ArizoRaa, But, perhaps, and quite likely, the job could not have been printed to suit his taste in the Arizonaa office, as out of that miserable in- stitution good, decent job has never, to our knowledge, been issued He knew, however, that the MINER could have printed the job as well, and almost as cheap, as any Califor- nia or Eastern office, but local jealousy or some other unworthy motive, influenced him in the matter We pay heavy county and Territorial taxes on printing material, and do think the officers whose salaries VIC help pay, ought, at least, give us the printing of whatever jobs cannot be done in the office of their organ. In saving this much, we do not wish to be understood as begging jobs from any of McCormick's crew of officers We have got along, so far, without their aid, and can continue to do so. But, when officers o the Territory act as we suspect Treasurer Allen has acted, we shall let the tax-payer' know it. Could the work have been done ir "the great city of Tucson" it would mol have been sent to California or the East | That's all.
