 CO1mick
 WASHINGTON D. O., Nov. 16, 1871.
 Dear Governor It is nearly a month since I wrote you of my inter- view with the President, General Sherman, the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Interior regard ing Vincent Colyer's movements in Arizona. As I then informed you, those officials did not justify any thing in his proceedings that looked like injustice to the people or an un- due prejudice ill favor of the Apaches. The President smiled at the large au- thority MT. Colyer professed to hold and at his threats to have federal of fcials removed at his will. After fully explaining the true character of the troubles in the Territory and pre- pairing the way for proper apprecia- tion of Mir. Colyer's report, whatever 1t might be, returned to New York for several days. While there @ re- porter from The Herald office "inter- viewed" me, and his account of my conversation appeared in The Herald of the 7th inst, in connection with MT. Colyer's report, although the interview took place some days before the latter was made. The reporter did not give my statements with entire accuracy, but sufficiently so to afford an idea of the ground I assumed, which will, I believe, be satisfactory to my constit- uents, particularly so if they will con- sider the popular feeling here against the frontier sentiment upon the Indian question, and the careful policy one has to pursue in order to maintain any standing or influence.
 I have sent several copies of The Herald to the Territory that the peo- pie may see what MT. Colyer says against them and what 1 have said on their behalf. Returning here, 1 at once waited upon the President, Sec retary of War and Secretary of the Interior to demand hearing, should MT. Colyer's derogatory assertions have had any weight with them, but they gave me most chearly to under stand that it was wholly unnecessary, and cordially conferred with me re- garding plan for future operations ill the Territory. I asserted, as 1 had previously done, that while the res ervation system, so far as the Apaches were concerned, had been 8 con- parative failure, if the advocates of the peace policy wished to experiment further and under better auspices, there would be no objection, provided, the Indians were not allowed to go and come from the reservations at will, or to make them simply an asylum for their women, children and old men, and base of supplies for the warriors.
 And in addition, that proper protec- tion should be afforded to settlers and travellers in the Territory, while this experiment was being made, and that Indians leaving the reservations to commit depredations and those remain ing off altogether and continuing in hostility should be promptly pursued and punished by General Crook.
 The programme decided upon and of which you have already been in formed, substantially comedies all

 General. When examining themap 3t the War Department of the pro posed new Indian Reservations in Ari- zona, and after I had read General Sherman's letter to you, l discovered that two of the reservations, if laid out as suggested, would interfere, both will settlers and railroad grants.
 If the Camp Grant Reservation ex- tends north to the Gila River, it will cover the proposed route of the Texas Pacific Railroad, chartered by Con gress last Winter, or if 1t goes south on the present overland mail route, 1t may seriously interfere with that.
 If the Camp Verde Reservation ex- tends north of the Thirty-Fourth par allel, It will be likely to be in the way of the Atlantic and Pacific rail way company, chartered by Con gress in 1866, and also to interfere with settlers.
 If the land near Camp Grant OH the San Pedro, or on that river Oe- tween Camp Grant and the southern overland mail route Is taken, 1t will disturb a number of settlers who have. taken up claims in good faith and largely improved them.
 The Secretary of War would dou bt- less have written you on these points had they occurred to him, and he may have done so upon a memorandum he made of & conversation l had with him and General Sherman to-day.
 It is at the suggestion of the Secre- tary of War that 1 now write to you, and I have advised both him and the Secretary of the Interior, that before the lines of the reservations are positively fixed, you should be au- thorized to send competent officer to see that they interfere i'll no way with these railroad grants or with settle ments. In my own judgment, the are unnecessarily large as now proposed.
 I have also suggested that the In dians who may go upon them can only be left there, by being put under rigid military discipline and personal accountability as was done at the Bos que Redondo Reservation in New Mexico.
 I am glad to be informed by ths Secretary of War that this IS your view. With much respect, your obe- lient servant, R. c. MCCORMICK,
 Delegate from Arizona.

A PREoEDRNT. Some prudent folks
object to the modern style of curt item
izing, which considers it sufficient, for
instance, to announce that young girl
lighted fire with kerosene and only
seven hacks could be hired next day for
the usual ceremony. What do these
prudes think of this sacred text: 'In his
disease Asa sought not to the Lord. but
to the physicians. And Asa slept with
his fathers"
Josh Billings says: The live man is
like little pig; he is weaned young and
begins to root early. He is the pepper
sass Nv creation, the allspice nv the
world. One live man in a village is like
case Nv itch in district skule-he sets
everybody to scratchin at onst.
A lady at Utica recently attempted to
hang herself, but the neighbors rushed
in and out her down. Her disgusted
husband thinks ''some folks had better
stay at home, and not NEEDLE with other
peoples affairs"
