Hon. A. P. r. Stafford, Governor Of
Arizona, publishes an exhaustive review
OF the Apache question In the Alta this
morning. lie warmly endorses General
Crooks policy OF uniting the friendly In.
dians against the Apaches He says:
"They robbed and plundered the citizens
Of this territory until they are sick and
tired Of war, and desire that the flow Of
blood shall stop. Had General Crook
gone on with his plans II would have
been but a lew days before the entire
tribes would have sued for peace upon
terms that would have insured the safety
Of lives and property Of this Territory.
Any other kind Of peace is mOnstrods
crime against this people and swindle
upon the Government and the whole
people, who are taxed TO feed and ClOthe
the Indians. The more Indians fed and
protected at the posts, the greater has
been destruction Of life and property, and
after remaining for time at the posts,
they have, In every instance, save one,
left without any pretended excuse and en-.
gagged In open war. Such has been our
experience with the Apache Indians. lie
denounced Cloyer for dodging through
the country, refusing to see or hold com.
munication with the white settlers, and
treating with contempt all overtures
from them. lie says he made
no peace with them, but only
bribed few tinrepentant Indians with

days and draw rations and clothing, and

Il would be cheaper Tor the Government

first class hotel than 10 have such hos.
tility, when Arizona, with proper pro.
tection would, within a few years,
produce $20,00000O Of gold and silver
annually. The Ala in an editorial,
endorses the Governor, and says he can.
not be accused Of ignorance Of the subject,
nor are his facts ControVerted, and the re.
sponsibility of the recent butcheries by
the Apaches, rests directly on Colyer and

Post Office at the hours mentioned below !:

A CALCULATING GENIUs.-A calculat.
ing correspondent Of the Pittsburgh Com
nleretal contributes the following In fela-
tion to the shipment of coal from that
city last week:
"A correspondent, In order TO give the
public an Idea Of the advantages Of river
and railroad carriage for ireights, makes
this interesting calculation and compari.
son: On Thursday and Friday last,
5,279,000 bushels coal were shipped.
This equals 229,0Ot tuns. To carry this
by rail, at ten tuns TO each car, would re.
quire 22,996 cars. With % cars to
train, 919 locomotives would be neces.
sary to haul these trains. Allowing
these trains 10 be ten minutes apart In
starting, 1866 hours would be spent in
starting them; and OF that rate there
would be 400 trains due In Cincinnati be.
fore the last one had left the city. All
these trains combined would extend a
distance of nearly 145t miles,
thus. 29,99O cars, averaging thirty
feet in length, 680,98O feet; 910
locomotives and tenders, averaging
forty.five feet-4l ,858 feet; for coupling,
25, 500 feet-in all 1885, ,655 feet, or frac.
tion over 146 miles. Il would be simply
impossible for the railways, with their
present equipments, to move this i'm.
mense mass Of bulky freight, and II they
were able, they could not carry II half so
cheaply. Since the shipments Of coal
from this port aggregate annually nine or
ten times the amount above stated, the
importance of the Ohio becomes still
more apparent. And, large as these ship.
ments arc, there must be added to them
hundreds Of thousands Of tuns Of iron,
glass, agricultural implements, &C., car.
ried down in freight boats, which return
10 US laden with cotton, tobacco, sugar,
grain and other products. The great
wonder Is, why a great natural highway
like the Ohio should have been neglected
80 long by the National Legislature, when
It might be permanently improved OF o
moderate COSTA cost Insignificant when
compared with the advantages which II
wOuld confer tlI)On the natiUn,n

What Carl schurz says.

Carl SChurs says in the WestliChe MOI
Post, that the recent elections have proved
"beyond a doubt that Democratic trumps
can no longer win. The Republican vic.
tories arc hammering this conviction
deeper into the masses. and soon every
Democrat, who Is not entirely blinded by
prejudice, will become convinced that the
Democratic party exists only for the pur.
pose Of keeping together the Republican
party, and 10 suffer itself to be beaten.
This state OF mind will materially assist
the dsintegration of the Democratic par.
ty, and in this we see a great benefit TO the
progress of our national institutions"

A Lamentation from the Pope,

NEW YORK, November ga Paris
paper has an account Of an Interview
granted by the Pope 10 a large body of
persons. One Of the number asking how
long the oppression Of the Church would
continue, the Pope replied: ave should
resign ourselves 10 the will Of the Most
High, and pray without ceasing for the
whole world, for everywhere evil Is
making fearful progress. In France, i'm
piety is now again lining It's head. In
Germany leresy Is making great efforts
10 oppress the Christian religion, and to
establish its own greatness upon It's ruins;
but what Is still more lamentab.e Is that
this impious movement Is countenanced
by the government. In Russia, Spain,
Switzerland, and indeed everywhere,
revolution seeks triumph 10 drag down
society into the abyss Of evil
