Be Cautious.

The public should be very cautious in their travels. Indian depredat1ons are very liable to be more frequent than heretofore Note the letters of Cap tain H. M. Smith and Hon. $. R. De- Long. The reports from Grant are to the effect that but very few Indians appeared for rations on Thursday, the last ration day. Charles Franklin says Oscar Hutton, guide at Grant, remarked, few days ago, that some body would be killed soon. It is also reported that -van-zin - who has left the reserve-declared be- fore leaving that he did not intend to come back, and returned the paper which the good Colyer gave him. The embraces of Agent Piper with Cachise seem to have at once so dis gusted his braves that they preferred war to such "lallygagging "-as see by Captain RusselPs dispatch. There is prospect for fearful and increased Indian slaughter on all sides soon. Colyer's acts could produce no other result, as the worst Indians were best rewarded by him.

Territorial District Court.

.The Territorial District Court has been engaged in the ordinary course of business. An extra session of the grand jury being convened, indict- ments were found against Pedro Ri- vera for killing friendly Apache Indian at Goodwin early ill this month, as stated by us last week :; also one against E'-ke-van-zin for killing Charles Mckinney at Camp Grant last May. The U. s. Grand Jury also indicted this Indian, but there is no probability of his being brought to trill in either Court, be- cause the promoters of the murder of citizens by Indians have given said Es- ke-van-zin notice of his indictment
 and Deputy U. s. Marshals who pro- ceeded to Camp Grant with warrant for his arrest, found him not-he had escaped. There seems to be law enough to punish whites for killing hostile Indians and only enough law to feed and kindly protect hostile h. dians for murdering peaceable citizens.

INDIAN RING SCHEME.

INDIAN RING SCHEME.
 Several reports have reached this town of a grand scheme to punish the whole Pacific Slope for its position on the Indian question, which mainly agree and amount to this: To procure the abolishment of the Military De- partment of Arizona and unite this Ter ritory with New Mexico for military purposes with headquarters in the lat ter, 1t being somewhat like wax in the hands of the rich Indian Ring. Then all Indian and military supplies for Arizona are to be brought via St. Louis, the Kansas Pacific Railway and wagons to their destination. Of course this would financially damage Cali fornia, and also the coast and river carrying trade, more than all else. We look upon the move not as one that would greatly injure the interior in a pecuniary sense, but as one that would prolong the robbery and mur- der of toiling and law-abiding citi- zens, and retard for many years the material prosperity of Arizona, and all for the benefit of ring of men who have no real care for the lives or prosperity of their fellow citizens, nor the advancement of the Indian, nor the United States Treasury. There is not a leading journal in the country that has not at some time denounced this robbing Indian Ring, and the pressure became so heavy against it, that the immediate management of the Indians and disbursements of supplies to them were transferred to the army. The ring has made immense sums of money, and opposition which it can not buy off it is determined to kill off one way or another. The people of the frontier and Pacific Slope have generally suffered so much by Indian hostilities that their sentiments are fixed beyond change through fear or favor, and therefore the proposed grand scheme indicated to punish them and reward those who like puppets on the stage move at the bidding and will of the manipulator behind the cur tainS.
 The Ring see in General Crook an officer who would, if left in untram- meled command, soon reduce the hos tile Indians to a state of submission to legal authority and comparative in dustry and self-support, and these transformations being adverse to large appropriations for their benefit in the name of humanity for the "poor h. dian," they must not be permitted then again, General Crook being all honest man, and a scrutinizing officer, even if left ill command deprived of fighting powers, his reports would necessarily damage the Ring, and hence nothing short of his riddance answer the Rings end. To accom- plish this the indirect plan of abol- ishing this Department on some plausible grounds is the chosen one.
 If the people of California and others honestly interested in having the Indian reduced to legal restrictions the same as self-supporting citizens, and put ill the way of self-improve- ment and self-maintenance are will ing to quietly submit to have their honest and correct views defeated and their business injured in the man. ner pointed out, then all we have to say is that they deserve nothing better

yet due by States for calling troops into

The secretary SAYS it is with great en-
bsrrassment thst the appropriations made
at the last session can be 30 economical
as to answer the pressing requirements OF
the service, He recommends that extra
lieutenRnts authorized 70 serve as reg1-

vacancies occur in these grades, sffeettng
an ultimate reduction of eighty heuten-
ants, and that the grade Of qusrtermas-

WINTER STYLES.
ROnnets--Kvenins and Fun Dresses
Laees and Hats.
THE BONNET.

THE BONNET.
Ladies' head gsSr-inclins more TO the
bonnet style this winter. The hss has
ceased to be a startling Item of ladies' ap-
parel; and the best efforts Of skill and
tsste are now bestowed on the bonnet.
A very stylish bonnet is of olive brown
velvet, has q high sQusFe crown, over
which the velvet is puftsd. The front,
which is made to suit the present style OF
wearing the hair, Is filed with soft lace.
Faille OF the same shade, cut on the bias,
Chantilly lace and rose with leaves tinted
with autumn hues Is the trimming. A
faille scarf, bound with velvet, falls from
the back. Stylish models have quite
large crowns and fronts. Velvets of va
rious colors, fsilie, Chsntily lace, or
French trimming isce, ostrich tips and
faded flowers, are the materials which
compose most of the handsome models.
In many instances the crowns are of silk,
while the front, the pipiDgs and folds viii
be velvet.
EVENING AND FULL DRESS.
Evening snd fuIl-dress bonnets are lit
tie different in their component parts
from the above. They are made Of velvet
and rich silk. They are Of much brighter
tint than the street bonnet-pale gray,
lavender and tea-rose color, and the april
cot, are among the fsvorite shades. These
bonnets are generally trimmed with costly
lace, when black, II il Ohantilly-if white,
applique Ia used, although blonde is some
times seen. French vslencisnnes, though
not generally used for that purpose, has a
very pre- effect over these handsome
shades or velvet or silk. We mention
this fact becsuse this lace having been so
much worn, many ladies may have 1t who
might not possess other kinds. We have
just seen pretty silk bonnet Of the color
called eau-de-nile, trimmed with vslen-
-, - T.
roses. Wide lace over the front, while
narrower width sdged with a bias trim
ming, which fell in scarf end over the
back. It Is necessary that the lace should
be rssl, not the Italian or the German,
but the French, which Is the only valen-
ciennes made by hand, and of course the
only kind which is fimsy or fne enough
for this purpose.
IN BOUND HATS,
which are still stylish, the favorite models
are ths English turbsn, so-cslled, with q
very high crown, and later style which
shows q narrow turned-down rim. The
principal objection to these is the base and
spurious limitations which have been
gotten up In London out of very hImsy
materials, and are sold at ridicuIOusly
low figure, being made from fine cotton |
velvet, with trimmings made of imitstion
silk, which is nothing but jute. They
are sold for two or three shillings, so that
all the fsctory-girls have adopted them;
but they are still fashionable here be.

found currency here IS vet. The bonnet
