The Latest Outrage.

Have frontier settlers any rights which Indian agents src bound to respect l' is the question which is now before the people of Arizona Indeed ft would appear from the recent action of Vincent Colyer, in floating bis Indian reservations over the lands pre- empted by settlers in the valleys of the San Pedro and Verde rivers, that no such rights are recognized by the Indian Bureau. But the settlers whose lands have thus been set apart for Indian reservations, and who have been notified that within given time they must abandon their homes, should know that neither inc pras-r.t--- act of lSil, nor the homestead Act of 1862, has been so modified. altered, or amended as to demand of them obedience to the recent decree of Vincent Colyer. The people Of Arizona have been called upon to accept too many departures from justice at the hands of Government agents; and their caln, unconditional obe- dience in times past, So far from procuring for them the lenient consideration of the .GoveEumept, has, evary year, subjected them to fresh outrsges.
 Settlers of Arizona, you should know that it is not rebellion to vindicate your rights, and il is to be hsped that you will not bow to this last outrageous decree By tbi. we do not suggest the propriety of armed resist ence, but we do suggest the impropriety of removing your families and abandoning your homes-surrendering lands pre-emp,ed in good faith--without having made an appeal against the injustice. Cultivate your fields, as heretofore, pay no attention to the bare order to leave, shoot down the Indian who would attempt to rob you AS you would shoot any other highwayman but when the Goy ernment bayonets shall have invaded your homes, leave everything and go quietly away. We feel satisfied tha; this extreme, to pro cure your removal, will never be resorted 10: and in this steadfast adherence to your rights, as guaranteed by the laws, lies your only hope of receiving payment for your lands and improvements.

NOT AUTHORITY"

We have it from our New Mexico ex- changes that Cachis has put in an appearance at Canada Aiamosa reservation in New Mex ico. This statement, however, appears upon the very worst authority, viz; Indian Agent Piper. That fellow is an individual of the Colyer stripe and, we believe, pretty nearly as well vcrsed in the business of constructing and disseminating falsehood. At all events we have seen his name published ss author ity for statement which we know to have been an embodiment of ialsehood--it was concerning m interview which one of Col yer's runners had with General Crook some where in the White Mountain region.
 Now, we would advise the public, gener- ally, to place no reliance upon the report that Cachis has arrived at the above named reser- yation, until the statement shall have been corrobQratod by some citizen, or other person who Is not T ialsifer either by choice or for interest. We do not claim that it is impos- sible for Piper's statement to be true, but Liars we oap never tur,i.
 Though they may speak the ,hins tha, true
 And the said Piper may have set this report on foot by special instructions from Colycr

A Trans Atlantic Friend"

Under the caption of The North Ameri- can Indians" William Tallack, a "Friend," {" has lengthy communication in the London (England) Telsqrah of September 2lst. The writer claims to have travelled, few years ago, through Arizona, New Mexico and Tex as, and believes that he has pretty thorough knowledge of the Indian character. This ar ticle having besn sent us by gentleman in London, who expressed the desire to have it fairly reviewed, we will introduce our opinion by a statement which we know to be correct, viz that the ignorance of the Friend " in question, regarding the subject upon which be has written, is surpassed only by bis un- pardonable presumption and his unworthy preiudices. We have neither time nor space to review the article at length, but will show the absurdity which exists at the foundation Of his letter, and leave tue intelligent reader to draw his own conclusion. His knowledge of the Indian character is derived entirely from trip which he once made through the Southwest. Now it is quite evident that during this tour he never saw a wild Indian :: for had it been otherwise, the chances are twenty to one that his own grave would have added.o more to the many which he claims to have observed. Like his co-reirion- is,s in America, Mr. 'rallack obtained all his information from the settler, and travellers whom.he encountered from time to time in the course of bis journey, rejecting whatever statement did not happen to accord with his set opinions and accepting only such as might be. Hiolisi to harmonize with the same. He is arare that the whites are responsible for the unhappy condition of tho Indians, and here is sli he can adduce to support this pos tive assertion. "I have heard guant Mis- :" "sourian vow vengeance against Indians gen erslly because some of them had stolen his cattle and the same time another Missou- rian exclaimed, I will kill Indians when "eyer I have a chance, because my grand father was burnt by some of ,hemn" As evidence, this may pass in Europe, but in America it serves, at best, as theme for rid icule.

erson, of Corpus Christi, arrived in town on Wednesday evening, and communicated to us the following intelligence concerning A corpse found on the banks of an arOyo, eight miles below Hockey, between that place and Oak vile.
 On Monday evening the Judge and MT Nickerson reached the house of Mr. Osborne, who informed them that while riding near the ranch, looking up his stock, he suddenly came upon the curpse Ot q man very much decompused. X short distance from the body was found a dark felt hat. nearly new, and pasted in the crown of which was the name of Alden Mclaughlin written thereon in a plain, legiblc hand.
 Upon further inquiry, we learned that MT Mclaughlin was employed as mounted in spector of customs on the Rio Grandc, and was most indelatigable and efficient officer. Not long since be detected and had seized a large number uf horses which had been smuggled from Mexico.
 More recently he traced up to this city another large lotof Mexican .muggled horses, and are the same lot GAG head) now corral ed at the Jockey Club race course, and ad- vertised to be sold at auction by the United | States Marshal, on the 18th of September, aud l. was in connection with this seizure that be visited San Antonia.

N-- F. l.. its [ legs. He was known to many persons here, and on tho Rio Grands, had the reputation oi | being a most vigilant officer, and the dread and fear of all smugglen.
 Judge Gipin states tbat he saw the wife | of Mclaughlin just before leaving Corpus | Christi, who informed him that she had no intelligence from her husband since he left | for San Antonio, and was in alarm at his long delay.
 l Should this corpse prove to be that of the missing Mclaughlin, which Is altogethtr l probable. the most reasonable inference will | be that he has been way laid and murdered | by the williams and desperadoes whose illegs traffic he SO successfully interfered with.

Riot at Los Angeles.

Our Los Angeles exchanges of the 18th ult, come to hand containing the news of . most appalling riot which occurred the day previous. It would seem that the emeute had its origin in a matrimonial alliance be- tween two Celcs,ials, contrary te the wishes of the several companies to which they be- longed Several manifestations of displeasure, at the union, were evinccd during the alter uoon of the 23d, and on the morning of the 9th these gave way to an open rupiare, Tn which knives and pistols were used dd iisatum. At this iuncture the authorities interEEed, whereupon the contending Celestials united their strength for mutual defence against the white barbarians \ fight ensued in which one policeman was shot dead and a citizen mortallv wounded. This news had no sooner spread through the city than an army of citi- zens was organized which marched to the scene cf the strife, and, after forming chain of sentin,ls around SO as to prevent all egress from the buildings in which the Chinsmen had taken refuge, laid siege to the premises. The Celestials fought bravely, but their de- terinined resistencc served only to strengthen the feeling of resentment on the part Of the ci'7"ns Finally, toward evening, their com plcte diSlOdgment was effected, ~Len they were disposed of as follows;
 Ten were hung on the west side of Los Angeles street below Commercial. Five were hung at Tomlnson's Corral, and four were shot in Negro Alley and vicinity. One Chinawoman was shot st the commencement of the row, by Chinaman.
 Beside. those who were thus summarily executed, msny of the rioters were locked up | in jail Some of these are suffering from
 wounds which will prove fatal. The papers ! justify the summary execution of the rioters.

The monthly report of the Department of Agriculture, for Angus, and September, shows the maximum temperature a, St. Thomas, Arizona, on the 18th and ii,h of July, to have been llso. It may be important to the Department to learn that thero is neither city, town, village, district, valley, mountain. or stream in Arizona which bears the name of St. Thomas. There is St. Thomas in Nevada, though, at the confluence of the Virgin and Muddy; and this, we suppose, is the place referred to in the Report.
