do, and the interests OF other roads will
give it organized connection" and thus
is overcome "the conclusive objection
to the Hopedsle route" as named BY
Mr.. Stanton. A few OF the many con-
elusive objections to his road are, that
it is not vet chartered, has not dollar
subscribed, and not q foot Of track or
tunnel right Of way secured. All be
says about coming to the Island, de-
pots, transfers, &c, is as true OF one
road as the other. But he has said
nothing about the great excess OF
imports, exports, shipments Of grain,
lumber, &c, OF Toledo and Sandusky.
which seem so conclusive in their favor
and our interests. Nor has he told our
people that Cleveland has many more
rolling mills than we, and dry goods and
grocery stores. The local trade on the
route is OF course an item Of much i'm.
portance to our merchants, and think
| have shown that the Short creek
route is much more desirable for their
trade. but, after all, our great depend
euce is our manufactures. Our manu-.
featuring interests must be fostered,
encouraged and extended. They are
the great arteries OF our comma
nifty, and the great Northwest
is their opening and future market.
We make enough glass in a week to
bottle up and enough nails a day to
fence in and root over their one or two
little decaying towns from here to Den.

our politest bow to Cleveland and bid
her to occupy the balance Of the field.
For Massilon on the one road, We

growing towns, and a rich country be.

now by any road from coal region.
We cannot reach them by the l.. s. x

BUFFALO.

| BUFFALO, December 11.-A hearing
in the case of Stephen Gemple, who
was sentenced to be hung this coming
Friday for the murder Of his uncle by
pushing him into the canal, in August
last, was had on Saturday before. Judges
Clinton and Venable, of the Superior
Court. e..
Mr.. Sanders, counsel for Gemple, ar.
gued for a new trial Of the accused,
evidence having appeared since the
trial sufficient to clear him from the
charge Of willful murder.
At the conclusion of the District At.
torneys reply for the people, Judge
Clinton avowed that the court would
require time TO decide on the merits OF
the case In the meantime a letter
signed by the presiding judges and Dis
trict Attorney, would be sent to Govern
or Hoffman, asking for q respite until
decision could be arrived at. In view Of
this proceeding it is not probable that
Gemple will be hung on Friday, and
the prospect is that new trial will be
granted.
A movement is also on foot to induce
the Governor to commute the sentence
OF death on William Kelly, also under
sentence, and to be hung with Gemple
on Friday next. Kelly's counsel will
proceed to Albany and argue the matter
before the Governor The effort does
not bid fair to succeed, however. Kelly
was convicted Of the murder OF an en-
tire stranger, and without the least
provocation. Meeting the murdered
man at the steps OF his boarding house,
he drew a dagger and stabbed him.
death resulting the same afternoon.
The only excuse offered at the trial was
that he was crazed with drink. Should
Governor Hoffman deny the applca-
ton for committing the sentence OF
death be will be hung on Friday OF
this week.

is here, and an effort is to be made to
cut channel to her, and try to bring
her in. She is loaded with $4,000
bushels of corn, consigned to Buffalo
parties. Should the project to cut
channel through the ice to her fail, she
will in all probability become total

through the winter, but the breaking

IMPORTANCE OF INDIAN ALLIES.
Itmay be said that the United State
Government is strong enough to con
quer Indians without receiving aid
That may all be 90; but it has tried foI
many years to conquer the Apaches
and 10 apparently as far from it to-day
as ever. 1t is not in the numbers Of
fighting forces that makes their co
operation 90 valuable. but it is in The
fact that they are familiar with every
foot of the country, the habits, haunts
signs and signals of the Indians, and
with this knowledge used on our side
hostile Indians cannot escape our sol
diers; and this assistance we cannot
get from any source except from the
Apaches. When President Lincoln is
sued proclamation arming the negroes
there was much opposition to 1t, but
the voice OF the American people said
that the lives Of negro soldiers
were no more precious than those
Of white ones, and it was done; and |
believe the same voice. il appealed to
on this question, would say General
Crook was right-let it be so done. In
addition to the services the Indians
would render, nothing will go soon de-
moralize and break down those at war,
for they at once would become sus-
picious OF each other, and az soon as
the backbone was broken the entire
race would hurry in ard be willing to
accept any terms offered. would then
treat them with all the kindness and
humanity possible, having in view such
control over them as to prevent future
outbreaks. This could be done by TAX
ing them out Of the country or by plac'
ing them on small reservations in the
country, properly guarded, and compell-
ing them to report daily. But II 1t
becomes necessary to rent rooms at a
frst-class hotel, and board them therein,
it can be demonstrated that it would be
far cheaper TO say nothing OF the lives
that would be saved than to pursue the
Collyer policy. l have examinedlthe
mineral resources Of Arizona very care
fully, and / believe l hazard nothing
when l say that with security for life
and property for five years we would
export annually $20,000,000 Of gold
and silver. Then why not give prac-
tical man like General Crook the settle.
ment Of this question? He has never
tailed before, and says he was never
more confident than now that he can in
a brief period succeed here. Ifallowed
to do the work it will result in saving
the lives OF both Indians and whites,
Tor the sooner the war is finally ended
the sooner blood will cease to flow. 1t
will also save the expenditure Of mil,
lions OF money and allow the resources
Of the Territory to be developed and add
to the metallic currency Of the country
many millions annually.

CROOKS INDIAN POLICY

Governor STAFFORD, of Arizona,
writes for a San Francisco paper very
little review Of the policy pursued by
VINCENT CoLLYRR in regard to the
Indians in that territory and the disas-
trous effect that had followed the coun-
termapding of General Crooks orders.
We make the following extracts from
the letter:
GEN. CROOKS POLICY.
The people OF Arizona hailed with
Joy the appointment OF General Crook
10 command the department for they
believed the Uniform success that had
attended all his previous management
with hostile Indians would in q short
time give them lasting peace. After
assuming command he went among the
Apaches and said TO them "You can
have peace upon the terms of becoming
our faithful allies you shall not harbor
or give aid and comfort TO our enemies,
and you must aid every way within
your power to capture or subdue those
who are making war upon u.s." These
terms were not harsh. and they insured
for the first time in managing them
good faith on their part, and the Leople
fully appreciated that a man equal to
the task had been sent BY the President
to deal with the Apaches, The 6rst
trial OF this policy was rewarded by
Miguel saving to the General: Il and
my branch OF the tribe accept the terms,
| and to show you am in good faith, |
will send my young men to fight with
you," and the General accepted forty.
four Of his men, and enlisted twenty-five
for field duty. and the remainder as re.
serves. There was no mistaking the
TACT that these Iodians meant what
they said, and today there is not . citi-
zen Of Arizona who is not earnestly
desirous that these Indians shall be
protected and cared for as any friend ot
the Indian can be anywhere. ThA
faithful alliance 10 our cause WAS the
severest blow the Apaches ever received;
it at once made them suspicious Of each
other they did not know what band
would 20 over TO our side next, and had
General Crook gone on with bis plans
!it would have been but . few months
