TO THE PRESIDENT
 AND HIS CABINET.

the freSlQeuG Or OepdrtInenG neauS because we could not believe tha they ever authorized, much less in dorsed, Colyer's actions; neither di(
 we believe the latter had such despoti,
 authority as he assumed and whict
 cringing officers humbly executed il
 detail. The proceedings of Colyer
 we have frequently denounced as being
 without parallel audacity in the off
 cial annals of this nation, and fell
 assured that properly reported, they
 would be repudiated by the executive
 officers of the United States. In this
 we have not been deceived. He
 threatened to cause our official scalp
 to be taken, and amid his sneers and
 the exultations of his supremely con-
 temptible sycophants, we kept telling
 the truth both here and abroad abont
 him and them. and we are perfectly
 content witL results thus far, and anticipate what is to come with in
 tense delight.
 Our recital of Hon. R. c. McCor- mick's agreeable and effective inter view with the President and leading officers of the nation having any weight in the premises, makes 1t al- most superfuous to say more with reference to their kindly intent toward Arizona, and but for the fact that Colyer and his official toadies so grossly misled our people as to the purposes of the administration, we would say no more. For his pliant part in the atrocious Colyer play, Captain William Nelson should be dismissed the Army. He and others helped islander the administration. Let them copy for future action, the noble course of Captain Thomas Nc Gregor, 1st United States Cavalry to last week--and their past may be forgiven if history does pre- vent its being forgotten.
 The transfer of Arizona Indian from Washington and the Indian Commission to San Fran cisco and General Schcfeld, is the yrandest triumph over the Indian Ring of which we have any knowl- ,dge. This act alone should make every honest settler in Arizona grate- fully thank the Administration, for it s consideration far above any shown o any other people whose homes are surrounded by active and offensive 'avages. We can implicitly trust in he new management, and we now as ;ure General Schofeld that so far as ,ur pen and voice can influence public opinion here and elsewhere, that they will unite in shaping that opinion in support of such measures as we are confident he will adopt. Both the Administration and General Schofeld will see that Arizonans are not fac ious; that they are neither better nor worse than like number of people in he best communities that they only want a fair field to labor in; that hey have no objections to Govern nent feeding, clothing and protecting indians who do not rob and murder hat they are only too anxious to see he Territory freed of roaming sav- .ges to the end that the uncertain in- ome from Government operations nay be supplanted by the certain ones f rom agriculture, mines, stock-raising, airying and all the incidental re- { ources. We believe the Administra- ions last act exhibits its purpose ( o give Arizona a fair field for legiti- nate prosperity, and so believing, we indorse it and hopefully Iail the new era which must soon I avn under Generals Schofeld and ,rook's practical application of that ct.
