Powerful Tonic,

Promoting the Appetite and InvIgorating the
while Digestive Apparatus, thus building up
and strengthening the system, while at the
same time the volatile principle, being alb
sOrbed in the blood, acts specifically on the
Rheumatic Poison, removing it from'the eircu-
latiOn and system.
There are few remedies known to the Medical
Profession which will remove the Rheumatic
Poison from the blood, but whose action il so
powerful in depressing the system OF the al
ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their
use has to be abandoned before specific effects
arc Obtainablc, and hence the want Of success
in treating this prevalent and consequently
heretofore incurable disease. Unlike these
medicines, already known, the UNk WEED
REMEDY, although producing aS active and A.
powerful effects ON the blood and system in re-
moving the Rheumatic Poison, also Possesses a
strong Tonic and Recuperating Element which
admits of its continued use even by the most
delicate and debilitated. Thus we have the
combination Tor the first time Of these two
necessary elements in one remedy. which ac-
counts for its superior and neverfailing curative
effects in rheumatism, Rheumatic GOut and
Rheumatic Pains of all kinds.
y. II. The UNK WEED REMEDY is partic-
ularly APPLICABLE TO LADIES, in conse-
quence OF its Tonic Qualities.

the efficacy of patent remedies from n certain
class of those who use them. We have selected
the following because the names attached to

We learn that Royal E. Whitman, lst Lieut.. Sd Cav, now at Camp Grant, is busying himself in inditing letters for eastern markets, which reflect up- on our citizens. Probably this is his business as a soldier in Arizona, but with due respect to his exalted posi- tion, rank and friendship to savage thieves and murderers. it is our privi- lege to think otherwise. As he has made no move toward the Apaches except to feed them, we have no doubt that he conceives that to be 8 soldier S duty here. Stoneman felt it to be his business to build roads and posts and berate the citizens, and Whitman may have as great mind as his ex-chief, but as the one has been humbled right in the zenith of his pompous ar rogance and insolence, so may the other soon hear something drop, the sound of which may induce him to change his actions if not his disposi- tion. Ut. Whitman, you are not a master but a paid servant of the peo- pie, whose duty it is to conquer and not foster their enemies. We hope you will put yourself on the side of your employers and against their implaca- ble enemies.

ABLE SPEECHES.

Those of Hon. R. c. Mccormick in Congress on the Indian question and Southern railroad, justly rank as such. They are published in pamphlet form and distributed throughout the Terri tory. We shall find room for extracts at an early day.
 In all the remarks we remember to have read upon the pioneer and correct view of the Indian question, none equal these in several particulars. He started out by in effect informing the House of the fact that members usual ly correct in treating all other ques- tions, were all wrong on this one; that the well-informed Delegates who only desired to be heard on Territorial af- fairs, and whose rights were to be heard thereon, were crowded down when these subjects came up, and nine tenths of the time allotted to their consideration was consumed by men whose expressed ideas were burlesques on facts and travesties on common sense; that men had forgotten or nev- CT knew the histories of their own States; and for their benefit, quoted from the writings of the Father of his Country-the man who could not tell & ie-the immortal Washington. He refuted many of the most glaring mis- representations by eastern men and the press, and indeed so interested did the House become in his remarks, that unanimous consent was given him to proceed after his time had been ex- hausted. It also developed the fact that false friendship to the Indian, is not confined to one party. Such emi- nent Democrats as Hons. D. W. Voor- hees, of Indiana, and Charles A. FL dridge, of Wisconsin, are radicals on the Quaker policy side. Mccormick entertained and we hope informed all the wrong thinkers in Congress on this matter.

FOR purely manufactured villain ous islander of men and whole communities, The Arizona Miner man stands next to the Camp Grant cor respondent, and with all his practice and inclination that way, he only lacks ability to eclipse him. In one of his fits, wherein his toadying tendency got the ascendant in one respect, and his slandering in another, he wrote the following which may be found in his paper of May 20, in reference to StOneman:
 But he erred, in one or two instances gained the enmity of Tucson by orderingt the abolition of the military depot at tha place, and by so doing, brought upon him. self certain pressure which caused the President to commit a very ungracious act, that of superseding Stoneman by an officer of lower grade.
 What time to talk of 'suncracious acts towards an about unanimously despised and admitted incompetent of fcer. If President Grant could and would by one fell swoop kill every hostile Indian in Arizona, The Miner would increase its low abuse of him.
Arizona citizen., 1871-06-03

SToNEMAN's Report No. 2, adroitly conceals the fact of the Indian depre- dations ill and about Prescott. But facts don't agree with him-they caused him to be removed and humbled.

aminations just past the scholars have shown
to the public that the labors of both commit
| tee aud teachers have been well spent and
deserving of much praise.
| The appropriation for highways was found
| to be too small for the amount of labor con-
sidered to be necessary to be performed, and
| to relieve the Commissioner of some of the
| extra work thought to be necessary in his de-
partment, the Committee on Highways was
instructed to assist him in this extra work,
building sidewalks, &C., which was very much
needed, and think the money spent in this
department over the appropriation to be well
spent, and in making up your appropriations
for this year l would recommend that you
take into consideration the condition of our
streets and walks, as well as the time of doing
the work and govern yourselves accordingly.
The Fire Department has had but very
little work to perform for the past year, but
the engines are in good condition with good
companies who have always been ready in
case their services were called for.
In regard to the Police Department | will
say that think this department has received
the strict attention Of Its members who have
labored to do their duty in preventing distur.
bance and keeping good order on our streets.
The expenditures for the poor have largely
exceeded the appropriations; but portion of
extra calls for assistance off the Farm, and
of poor in other towns who are residents of
this city, who have had to be provided for.
There has also been quite an amount of
money spent for stock &C., for the Farm, all
of which have increased the expenses in this
department.
l wish to call your attention, at the com
mencement of this year, to the condition Of
the buildings on the city farm, and would
recommend that all the members of this City
Government, wonld go and examine them for
themselves, and by SO doing l think you
would see the necessity of repairing and put
ting them in better condition, for the COM
fort of that unfortunate class which we al
ways have among us. The policy that has
been adopted in the management of our af-
fairs for the past year, think has pleased the
most of our citizens, and think by contnu-
ing the same policy, our affairs in all the diff
ferent departments can be by iudicious man.
agement conducted so as to promote our best
interests and the future prosperity of our city.
In conclusion let me say that when see SO
many members present who are well acquaint-
ed with the business of the city, that when
we come to settle up at the close OF this year,
we shall be able to render up an account that
will justify every member of this council in
being faithful in doing his whole duty ard the
