THAT PETITION.

The petition recently forwarded to Presi- dent. Grant b. the people of Arizona, m which they prayed that the management o' the hostile Indians of Arizona be taken from the Peace Commissioners and placed in the hands of the Department Commander, was presented on the 27ih ult. The President read the petition and simply stated that he hoped the people of Arizona would be satis- fled with the order issued by General Scho' field that the Government proposed to deal summarily and vigorously with the Apaches and, in short, to put quctus upon the say ages of Arizona
 The President was not at fault in his ex- pectation that Gen. Schofcld's order would satisfy the people of Arizona. We have no fault to find with any provision of the said order If it's operation bc not thwarted by the frenzicd thieves of tue Peace Commission it will secure peace in Arizona; and we ask only for peace. This once established be yond the power of revocation by Colyer and bis confederatc~, the prosperity of our cit zcns will be guaranteed.

The Trials of the Chronicle" |"

The San Francisco Chronicle is a "lyc paper" and the proprietors arc models of straightforward, fearless journalists This journal is power for good in san Fran cisco, but there arc those among the upper ten who cannot appreciate it. Its fearless exposures of frauds and its open denuncia- ton of corrupt officials have brought the DeYoung brothers into court, to answer 10 charges of libel, about dozc times within the past eighteen months. To the credit of San Francisco be it said, however, that not once has the Chronic,e been found guilty of the offence so frequently charged.
 I, having been shown thus conclusively that the Chronicle is invariably just in its statements, it will be difficult to find an ap- ology for the conduct of Judge Lake as set forth in the following dispatch from San Francisco, under date of December lst. |, Says:
 This afternoon an intense excitement pre-. vailed for some minutes, over the report that Judge Lake, of the Municipal Court, had shot and killed Charles DeYoung, of the Chronicle, on Montgomery street, between Sacramento and California streets and tha: Judge F. D. Wheeler, who was passing, had been mortally wounded.
 There are numerous versions of the affair but the most prevalent is that the two met on the sidewalk and had high words on ac. count of an article, attacking the judge, re. gently published in the Chronicle, when Lake struck DeYoung with pistol on the side oi the head inflicting a somewhat severe flesh wound, and one chamber of the pistol wa. discharged, the bullet from which passed through the thigh of Judge Wheeler, inhict
 ing somewhat severe, but not dangerous wound.
 Lake was instantly arrested by officers who were near at the time, and taken to Chic Crowlys office, thence to Chief Pennies of | flee where he gave bail to appear to answer q charge of assault to murder.
 DeYoung's friends claim that his wound was inflicted by bullet and not by blow with the pistol, as stated.

CACHES.

We regard i, as a rather unfortunate CIT cum,tancc that General Schoticlds order, while it amply provides for the suhuga'ion of the several tribes of Indians in Arizona, makes no provision for the capture or chas' tiscment of the head devil, Cachis. lt will be observed that this order applies only to the Indians subject to military control m Arizona; and although Cachis has raidcd al- mos. exclusively in Arizona he has male his home in New Mexico. To settle this ugly difficulty the necessity of another recom- mendation by the Secretary of the lntcr'or will be readily acknowledged. Cachis Is an Arizona Indian and his warriors are selected from the several tribes or Arizona; his dep relations have been confined almost eNcIu- sively, to Arizona; and now in the hour o' retribu,ion he is permitted to indulge hs murderous whims in New Mexico. In An zona the Indian, will bc required to answer at roll-call every day, and any Indian who will fail to appear and answer will be re- garded as hostile. liosiilities will be con ducted against faithless Indians with all practicable yigor. These regulations cover the whole ground so far as Arizona Is con cerned, but they fail to reach Cachis. He may answer at roll-calls or he may not; be may report himself present or he may not Acordins to the Las Cruces BHdeTer his camp is in the wilderness, twelve miles from the agency at Canada Alamosa; according 10 another report he has located himself twenty five miles from the said Agency. It is there fore pretty safe to conclude that be may go and come at pleasure, that he is under no surveillance and that his presence even at bis camp, is verified about once every month.
 h v,~~ of these facts it Is simply consist ent, as we'll as necessary to the success of the policy recently inauguratcd for the govern mcnt of the Indians of Arizona, that Cachi: be ordered to go upon one of the reservation, of this Territory. IT it is his wish to act r good faith he will readily agree to do SO; and if he fail to comply the fact may bc regarded as evidence that he has no desire for peace in which case it will be clearly the duty O the Government 70 enforce its policy.
 Those who know this savage best, know well that there will be no peace in Arizon: until he shall have been subdued. Therefor, let him be sent back to Arizona, placed upon . reservation with his fellows where he may be properly cared for if he prove faithful or punished if he violate any of the rule: established for his government.

We see it stated in Washington dispatch tha, the appropriations for the military serv- ioe made at the last session of Congress arc insufficient, and that the greatest embarrass- ment is encountered in the effort 10 econo- mze 90 that the sums appropriated may be made to answer the pressing requirements of the service. In view of this fact it is recom- mcnded that extra Lieutenants authorized to serve as regimental quariermasters be dis. continued as vacancies occur in this grade effecting an ultimate reduction of eighty LieuteDants. It ia also recommended that the grade of Quartermaster Sergeant and those of artifcers and wagoners be abolished. IL is claimed that this arrangement would save more than ono thousand enlisted men to the service, and over S40o,oOo annually.

Among the latest important news items which we find recorded this week is dis patch from Portland, Oregon, which states that the Twenty-third Infantry will soon leave for Arizona to serve under General Crook. We hail the movement. If it is the objeet of the Government 10 "let us have peace too many troops cannot be placed in the field, and soldiers who are now employed at killing tirae," where their presence can aid no cause, would profit by the exercise which 1872 promise to soldier boys in Ari- zonA.

The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad is stridng westward at a rapid pace. Late accounts from St Louis say that the Government Com missioners for the examination of this road have gone to inspect the last completed sec ton, between Mosho, Mo, and venita, Ind.

The Commis. sioners were accompanied by large party of xcursionists-ladies and gentlemen of St. Louis-who joined toaid at an informal cele- bJation of the opening of the road to Venita. This is the point of intersection with the Kansas and Texas roads--3G5 miles west oi St Louis.

They have had first-class sensation at San Bernardino. One David George who was immediately in charge of the post office says that party of burglars entered the room where he slept, leveled pistols q, his head, compelled him to surrender the key of the safe--and all that kind of thing that he was then marched out Of the post office through drug store and into the street by one of the burglars while two others sacked the safe and money drawers. This romantic story, in all its details, may be true or otherwise, but one fact is established, that the post office is loser to tho amount of S497.5O. Unfortunately for Mir. George the people of San Bernardino don't believe that burglars had anything to do in the matter and hence bis arrest on a charge of grand larceny.

day only, the 2lst of April.
The grand feature will be o balloon as

prior to the circus performance. As the
spectacle takes place on the Island, there is
just q human probability that the landing
may take place in the Ohio river, which
will enhance the danger of the aeronaus
and the interest of abe occasion. The
balloon, "Tallulah," is q monster airship,
one hundred feet high and fifty feet in d.

The arenie corps, athlete, and ~acrobatic
and the equestrian attractions, are said to
be first-claas, aud cannot well fail 10 please

A SINGULAR DEcIsieN.-It 10 said that
Commissioner Pleas anton, In the case Of
James S. McCray, Esq, has decided that
wneu the owner Of Q farm has stored the
oil produced from it, without selling during
the year 1870, he is nevertheless liable for
the Income tax upon its value as if 1t had
been conve rted into money.
1t is said that Mr.. McCray will be obliged
to pay on bis production Of oil stored in
tanks, about $4,000. We understand the
matter will be- brought before the court.,
and if the decision he sustained it will seri-
ously effect many of the producers. There
seems 10 be nc good reason why the produc.
ton of oil should be more burdensome
than that Of agricultural staples, to which,
so far, the rule laid down by Commissioner
Pleasanton has not been applied. Titus
