THE GOVERNORS PROCLA.
 NATION.

It will be seen by reference to this
 document in our advertising columns,
 that Governor Stafford is anxious the
 Peace Commission shall receive some
 truth while in Arizona that the citi-
 zen should help it to this important element for use in the report which is sure to follow; that our people should exercise the highest proofs of their forbearance; that they do not permit the blind to alone lead the blind, but that light be shed abroad in the hearts and minds of those who have doubted our sincerity for peace and our reports of unprovoked deeds of savagery against us.
 The Governors own views of the only way to a reliable peace are set forth in his remarks made at Florence, and which appear in to-day's CITI- ZEN; but we presume he prefers to make the best of such conditions as may not be avoided and try to turn them to good account. Probably he holds that the citizens can lose nothing by extending kind treatment, and rendering information which, if given in the Commissioners report, will be to our advantage, and if ig- nored can still be made to show we'll for us.
 Upon any other reasoning, his proc lamation would hardly have been made, but the people will read it, and if its recommendations commend themselves to them, they will not fail to act accordingly. We have not doubt out the Governor has pondered the matter we'll, and believes the course advised the true one to promote the best interests of Arizona. He has hardly desire above that for the safety and prosperity of the strug- gling people of the Territory. His labors are constant to advance the in terest of all; to open up new sources of wealth to those now here, and to induce others to come and help hold the country and secure safety to all. Therefore we know the proclamation is made upon what he is convinced are the highest considerations of good for the people under existing circum- stances.

Indians to be Assembled at Camp
 Grant.

I
 Grant.
 Dr. Lord informs us that Lieutenunt Royal E. Whitman has received tel egram direct from the Secretary of War to use his efforts to collect h. dians at Camp Grant, with view to a visit by the Peace Commission, etc.
 There Is not 8 man, woman nor child in Arizona who objects to the Indians being assembled at Camp Grant, if they are only kept there and prevented from raiding abroad and murdering and robbing farmers, team sters, travellers, or any other class of people. The people of Arizona want peace with the Indians-a peace that can be relied upon. They don't care particularly how such a peace is brought about, only so that there is no mistake of its genuineness. They would as lief it were consummated by the suave words of non-com batants as by the powder and ball of exultant troops or citizens. They care not whether the Golden Rule or the iron one maintains peace only so it is main tained. Several graves on the San Pedro and about Tubac are mournful proofs that the late peace proclaimed at that Camp was most cruel mis- representation. Possibly another eff fort may prove real, but we can't help calling to mind that in 1867 General Crittenden made a peace at the same Camp which lasted just two days, and was at once followed by the robbing of IsraePs ranch of everything in the shape of horses, mules, cattle and moveable property, while the owners were out at work under the charming delusion that the Indians were at peace because they agreed to be. In the slme year and soon after, they re- turned and savage ran lance through MT. Tomlinson and killed him, and subsequently, killed Israel and Irwin without provocation, and right by the ground on which they agreed to keep the peace.
 We want no more such peace. It is easy for an officer surrounded by troops and supplied with rations to feed sav- ages, to see nothing but peace mani fested by his wards; but when farmers near by are being robbed and assas- impartial lookers-on must be excused from believing that Govern ment is securing safety to any but savages. This third effort at Grant may be peaceful success, and we doubtingly hope it may.

Selling Liquor to Indians.

A gentlemen resident on the Pima
 Reservation, tells us that recently he has seen more drunken Indians than ever before. Reports of the same kInd were made to Governor Stafford, as may be seen by reference to his published remarks at Florence.
 We have no knowledge of this in famous traffic beyond reports, yet that 1t is carried on there is no room for doubt. Only yesterday, citizen of Tucson informed us that he had seen Papago Indians lying in our streets stupidly drunk.
 All men who sell liquor to Indians are by law pronounced guilty of crimes, the penalty for which is fine, imprisonment, and confscation of property, and it is great pity that all those guilty are not punished to the utmost limit. Very likely some men who are guilty of this crime have no thought of its enormity, but there are hardly any who do not know that selling liquor to Indians is forbid den by both United States and Ter ritorial laws, therefore have no ex- cuse for such exasperating crimin- ality. There is hardly any condition of drunkenness indulged in b! whites that drives from their minds all sense of responsibility for their actions; with the Indian who has not been taught a proper regard for law and human rights, the case is different. At best, Indians are little better than sober savages, but when crazed with liquor, they have no self restraint and are liable to commit outrages that will be resented so terribly as to bring on conflict wherein many innocent people may lose their lives and property.
 District Court meets next October. In the meantime it Is the bounden duty of every citizen to ascertain if possible who are the guilty wretches. There are persons who have influence enough with the Indians to ascertain of whom they buy liquors and the means of detection. It seems clear that an ex- tra effort should be made to have some convictions obtained at the next term of the Court. We are we'll assured our Courts will infilct severe penalties on all such convicted scoundrels. Let the good people be on the lookout, in cluding the peace officers, and some of the vile rogues may yet meet with loss of their property and liberty, and the sooner the better for the peace of the community.

WE notice by advertisement in an Oshkosh paper, Wisconsin, that Hon. Coles Bashford has offered all his property for sale, no doubt witha view to removal of his family this side, the Rocky Mountains. He has been strongly attached to Arizona ever since his early arrival here, and especially does he admire the climate, water and general elements of the country about Prescott.

TROUBLES in Lfberia-

Late news from Liberia is not of an
agreeable character. A native chief
having committed some depredations
within the boundaries of the Republic,
the Liberians, in chastising the wrong
deer, destroyed some property belong
ing to British merchants, and compli-
ations with the British Government
are feared. There is also a still more
threatening matter in an incipient re-
bellion against the Government, head
ed by such men as H. w Dennis, agent
of the American Colonization Society,
DR., McGlil and EX-President Roberts.
The occasion of the difficulty was an
elction on an amendment to the Con-
stitution which proposed that the
Presidential term should be extended
from two years to four. The vote was
merely nominal one, but President
Roye took possession eG the ballots and
declared the amendnaenE carried. The
Legislature denouncels this action as
usurpation, and ordered new election
for President, when Ex President Rob
ert was elected by an almost unami-
nous vote. But Roye holds on to his
Office, and thus the people are in rebel
lion against the Administration, or rice
rerca, as you please. The worst fea-
ture of the conflict, however, is that the
question ofc0lor is said to enter into il.
Roye is full black, while Roberts and
! his party are mulattoes.

be sure that under this policy the debt
will be constantly diminishing, and
the taxes be periodically lessened. Tt
is the glory of General Grants admin
istration that, with the reduction of
taxes and debt, we have also a large
reduction of expenditures. The army
was largely reduced by the last Con-
gress; the Civil service is diminishing.
In every branch of the service, except
the Postal service, which necessarily
increases with the growth of the coun-
try, the number of employees is les
sening, and now we have, to crown
other reforms, a movement that will
bring about civil service reform. A
committee of practical men are now
framing, under the authority of law,
a series of regulations to secure eff
| cheney i'll civil service and to protect
faithful officers from arbitrary removal.
l never doubted the power of Congress
to regulate the duration of Office and
the causes for removal. l therefore
voted for the tenure -of-office act, but
every Democrat voted against it, alleg-
ing it was unconstitutional. Now they
resolve in favor of Civil Service Re-
form, and denounce US for not bring
ing it about. All the evils complained
of Lad their origin in the precepts and
practice of Democratic Administra-
ton, ITO the victors belong the
| spOils," was their cry, and the amount
of spoils according to political SER
vice, was their rule. No doubt all
parties will choose from among po-
litical friends for political office; buI
the tenure of their offices, the causes
of their removal and the requisite
qualifications, should all be fixed by
regulations with the form and sanction
Of law. Without such regulations the
army and navy would be uhorganized
mObs. How far this system may be
established in the civil service is one
of the problems this Administration
will solve with the hearty concurrence
of the President and Congress. In
the whole round of political and social
life there is not one single reform,
progress or advance that may not be
entrusted with more safety to the Re-
publican party than any other. Gen.
Grant has fulfilled every promise he
has made you. He is executing tile
laws as well as it is possible for any
one to do. He follows rather than
leads public opinion, and does not in
any way force policy upon the peo.
pie against their will. His military
success broke the power of our enc
mics, and his civil administration is
marked with prosperity. Let us, then,
enter upon this canvass with active
confidence, ready to reason with our
adYersaries-to gather wisdom from
opposition-but with proper appFe-
citation of the merits of our cause and
party. We have now a ticket care
fully selected and,, of gentlemen woF-
thy of your choice: Upon the, eiec-
ton will depend General Assembly,
the election of a United States Senator,
and of the most important State Legis-
lation. More than all, the mainten-
ance of Republican principles in the
administration of the National Cow
ernment will be greatly affected by ouz
election.
Ohio often speaks, for the whole
country, and hope viii do so now

(For the Herald)
To THE RAINBOW

Thou rainbow, arching upon high,
Art beautiful, as in the sky
Th' Almighty bends thee with His hand.
Making thee luminous and grand.
Sunshine and vapor here combine
Sublimity and beauty join
To make thee an attractive sight,
Array'd in all the charms Of light.
Thy hues remind us of the plan
Devised to rescue fallen man.
Where attributes divine conspire
To make the wondering world admire.
Wisdom and mercy here are known,
While Truth and justice guard the throne
Till God is seen in His own light,
And heaven is dazzled at the sight.
When thunder-peals are heard on high.
And tempests sweep the earth and sky,
Thy splendor keeps the world in mind
That God is true as well as kind
In thee we have His pledge to man
That He will not in wrath again
Deluge our planet, as of yore,
In q vast sea without a shore.
Say, shall not He who makes thy form
To span the dark, retiring storm,
Find for His weary ones a rest,
Where nothing can their joys molest?
Thou shalt survive the world below,
Encircling in thine emerald glow
The throne of heavenly majesty,
To adorn the blest fraternity;
The token of eternal love
To all the ransomed hosts above,
That waves of woe shall never come
To inundate their heavenly home.
Good Hope, o., Feb. 4th. 1871.
