 Tn connection with an ext-s.e .et from the San Francisco Commercial HeraE the Los An- esIes Ne,gs has an editorial U sder this head Both editorial and extract lend to condemn the action, or rather the ineciion, of the ad- ministration with regard to Arizona, The crouad taken by the Nelos on thls subject argues the possession of much good, sound, practical sense, With thorough knowledge of the resoarces Of cur Territory and the wants and necessities of our people. Considering the importance of our position, in the line of the coming Southern trans-contnental railroad and the contiguity of our Territory with those States of Mexico, he acquistio of which is al present so desirable and. moreover, taking into cons iteration the mineral and ag- ricultural wealth of the land and the manner in which every class of industry is burthened through Indian hostility, the motives which ac.uate the government in letting loose and permitting to continue loose, those savage, human bloodhounds who stain every valley, EUaQ dL-t lBDuubdlil III t-.C 4CIlibOi1 hitl& lut blood of white settlers, constitute problem which hypothesis will not enable us to solve.
 Yeor after year our citizens labor to accu- mulale a little property with the vague hope that the government which they are taxed to support will at length extend hand to protect shem in the possession of that for which-with true frontier pluck and pride-they bade de- fance to danger and death Q hundred times over. But the hope continues vain Our gov ernment has no ear for the wrongs of white men while its savage wards remain savage {; aud SC the iron will and god-iike courage of the pioneer must succumb to tue bullet arrow, or lance which savage force or savage treachery guides on it's mission of death.
 The representation we have made does not by any means picture aa exceptional case, but, on the contrary, sets forth an instance ofthe common occurrences Of life here,-common from the fact that occurrences ofthis character have long since ceased to create surprise Of that class which characterizes an unexpected revelation. People here expect to be called upon :o de.end taeir lives against sayages when ever.calIsdon duty from pluce place, and con. seqasntly go prepared; the savases know thiy, and. of these who fall, not one out of every ten lives to see the assassia-they are shot down from behind or from some thica.et ia front- shock, and all is past,
 With regard to the condition of Arizona and the easy nrac!icability of jastitating a a better order of things how true the annex ed remark by eur Los Angeles contemporary:
 With riaeat hand and pistol in belt the work of mining and agriculture is carried on. This neglect of Arizona is shame and 6iscrace. We are told tha; the Northern Pacific Railroad franchise, just granted by Congress, is worth i5, 000 03G of dollars to the cornorators. h other words the supposed representatives of the people have for some kind consideration giCeD away &l5 000 coo of property to @ pri- vats corporation. A tthe of that sum would have given protection to Arizona and have de, veioped resources which now lie dormant We have nopaJience 10 discuss this question: What are the representatives of California doing that with united voice they do not ersistentIr urge that justice shall bo done to Arizona |? Ina government should understand, what is H,w understood by every Arizonan, that peace h Arizona means Apache exterinination. Without this the blood of the white man will continue to redien Arizona soll.
