AREZONA'S DELEGATE.

Within a few weeks, we have re- ceived letters from Washington com plimenting in the highest terms Hon. R. c. Mccormick as Delegate. We will give extracts from two written by persons who are not citizens of Arizona and do not expect to be. One says:
 l have been in Washington four weeks. Governor Mccormick is polit- ically stronger here than ever before. It would really, I feel, be calamity should you fail to re-elect him as your Delegate. l have taken great pains to assure myself of his standing, and as a result, find him greatly respected more so 1 believe than anyone you could select. He does you, as a constituency, great credit, and with him as your Representative, you have every reason to be proud of Arizona.
 Another unbiased writer, speaking of the Presidential outlook, and poit- ical matters in general, touches upon Arizona's interests at the Capital in this way:
 The best thing Arizona can do, by all means, is to re-elect Mccormick, he wants to run or not He Is evidently more at home and a power at Washington at present than all other Delegates.

Characteristic Enterprise.

The great Chicago Fire laid waste,
 during the fatal forty hours between
 Sunday evening, October 9, and Tues
 day morning following, hundreds of
 millions of dollars in property. All the principal buildings, Banks. Stores,
 Warehouses, Printing Offices, and Publishing Houses, went down ; among the latter were the offices of the new family weekly paper Our Preside Friend, but with that indom- itable energy which is characteristic of Chicago, the publishers, Messrs Waters, Eberts & Co.,, while their fine offices were yet burning, were making arrangements to resume their business and carry forward their great enterprise. They immediately secured a pew location 7S3 State Street, which they occupy until their former place Is rebuilt. They are now issuing their paper, a beautiful eight page, it. lustrated, literary and fireside journal, filled with choice reading and finely and are pursuing their plan of distributing one hun- dred thousand dollars among their for 1872. Specimen copies, Premium Lists, etc., will be sent free to any address. l

AFTER some weeks have passed, we find that with one exception, our ac- count of the Gila killings early in this month, was correct and in the right temper. The error was in regard to the payment for property destroyed, wherein we stated that "Mr. Thompson refused pay for the destruction of his house." Such was the report to us, but we are credibly informed that he was paid $50 for property destroyed in the house, and that the citizens also put repairs on the house at cost of $65-making in all $215 paid for damage to MT. Thompson's property.
 Our wonder now is that at this distance, with many conflicting ac- counts before us, by men desirous of doing exact justice to all, we escaped all but one error of consequence to any body.

OVER THE BORDER.

The G1la Killings or few weeks ago, have had some official atten- tion in Sonora. The United States Consul at Guaymas-Hon. A. Willard we believe Is an eminently fair man and discreet officer. He has been re- tained there many years, and we have reasons to know that he is active in intelligent efforts to maintain amicable relations between Arizona and Sonora people, as we'll as to specially guard and protect Americans and their in- terests iu Mexico. A letter of date March 16, by him at Guaymas, has been received this week in Tucson, from which we are permitted to copy the substance for print as follows:
 I had an interview to-day with the Vice-Governor of this State Governor Pesqueira being on a campaign in Sinaloa), regarding the rumors of the arming of some Mexicans on the frontier to avenge the death of Fran cisco Gandara, son nephew, was he not ED. CITIZEN. of Ex-Governor Gandara of Sonora, who was killed some days ago at or near his ranch on the Gila river. The Vice Governor informs me that he has notice that some Americans are arming them selves on the frontier with the inten- tion of retaIiating. He desires me to say that he disapproves such action, and has sent instructions to the otfi- cers along the frontier to prevent, if possible, any conflict or overt act on the part of Mexican citizens, and hopes that in case such acts are com- niitted by his citizens, they will be punished that above all, he wishls to avoid any border war or retaliatory measures by Mexicans, knowing that the same will not be permitted on the part of the people of Arizona.
 Governor Pesqusira, with an army of 1,6O0 men, is by this time two thirds of the way to Mazatlan, and a decisive battle is expected in a few days between him and Marquee, who is awaiting him forty miles from Ma zatlan, with 1,S00 men.
 The Holladay steamer arrived to- day, and the Olympia is expected in a few days with some English capitalists to make arrangements about a railroad connection from this port to your Territory.
 Regarding the arming of Amer jeans on the frontier for retaliation, we think there has been nothing of the kind more than usual. The Amer jeans recognize the fact that owing to the hostile incursions of Indian say ages and Sonora bandits, they must always be. armed - while in their fields at work, at their tables eating, or in their beds sleeping. Arms are really the "staff of life" especially along the Mexican border.

Camp Grant Items.

One way or another, we have pick ed up the following which is touched up little by our remarks:
 On the 26th, Whitman was prepar- ing to leave for Tucson-as he said. He was putting his "house in order" He seems to have received some news which mad, him feel very uneasy" and quite likely he will soon feel for his commission and his ieutenant's straps. The cheeky and disobedient wretch has reason to feel uneasy. It is freely talked among the citizen employees that when {" Whitman leaves the Indians will leave" This is no news. It has long been under stood that he expected to be relieved
 but Ill a more pleasant way), and hence disobedience of orders in not properly restraining the Indians, so that when a good officer should be put in his place; who would enforce orders and prescribed discipline, that the savages would leave; and then he could say that they never would have left under his dishonest management. He knew that at Mcdowell and Verde where orders were observed, the h. dians left in bad humor, though no harm was done them and doubtless they were better fed than those under himself-who Is a promoter of mur- derous raids on citizens who pay for the food both he and his Indians eat and something more. There is belief by many better people than Whitman, that he advised the savages to go away when he had to go. The fact that his career ill Arizona has been shamefully bad, justifes the belief that if the Grant Indians do leave as his pimps and, strikers predict, that they will do so because of his conduct or advice or both.
 MT. Bartlett {" Yank ')), who con- mands the pack-train, has received orders to report at Tucson.
 The Mexican woman who some weeks ago went to Whitman's Re- serve, hoping to get her son, made captive by his Indians years since, is now at Grant for medical treatment. She remained at the Reserve until she was greatly emaciated and much dis tressed in mind. Her son could be restored at any time, but Is not.
 Three soldiers, two of M and one of l Troops, deserted on the night of the 20th, but were afterwards captured on their way to Florence.
 A garrison court martial has lately been trying enlisted men for dlsobe- dience of orders.
 Only two men are On the sick list, and none at all up at Aryvaipa Camp.
 On the 26th, company H, 23d h. fantry, arrived at Grant, officered as follows: Captain James Thompson, who is native of New York State 1 He was commissioned from the Army, and was lieutenant of the 4th Artil- | lery during the war. First Lieuten- ant, George McM. Taylor-native of and commissioned from Ohio, and | formerly lieutenant in the fifth h. fantry. Second Lieutenant J. H. of New York, grad nate of West Point, and in 1871 made 2d Lieutenant in the 25th and after wards transferred to the 23d Infantry He is temporarily attached to Com pany E at Tucson. Company H was stationed at Fort Boise, Idaho. It now has about 90 men and several and children.

THE PAPAGOES.

It is significant fact that the white liars for the savage Apaches, never have kind word for the Papagoes- the former being professional thieves and murderers and the latter well be- haved and self-supporting people. At the risk of being dubbed !" border statesman," we will assign r=ason for the philanthropists' exclusive labors in behalf of the Apaches. For 1S7i-2, there were $7O, ,0o0 appropriat- ed for experimenting with the Apaches, and nothing for the Papagoes; for 1923, there is appropriated $250,0O0 to be used by good men in further ex- perimental labors with the Apaches, and nothing for the Papagoes. Sev- enty thousand and Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars naturally enough incite the latent philanthropy of men not specially noted for having any of the quality about them i; whereas the nothing appropriated for the Papagoes is not so unmistakeably prolific of new crops of humane actions and literature. In fact, it is not surprising that S320.000, with enlarged prospects, awake emo- tionsin men that nothing utterly fails to arouse.
 The Papagoes are self-sustaining. Their behavior is good-best of any Arizona Indians. But these are not good reasons why they should be al- most wholly deprived of government aid-so long as aid to any tribes is given. A little means wisely given and expended for tools, and an agent to exhibit their uses and advantages little more to educate their children under patient and fit teachers, would be sensible expenditures. Let the amounts so appropriated be limited to few thousand, and the Pap agees would never be contaminated, swindled nor manipulated by such philanthropists as Whitman and other disgraceful pretenders. Aside from this protection, the Papagoes would be grateful for such benefits and useful also, and the Apaches are neither grateful nor useful but the op- posite. It is even doubtful if agents of the low moral standard of Whit man would be permitted to live among the Papagoes; and all in all, it would not only be safe, but wise and chris tian statesmanship to help the Papa goes as we have indicated.
 At the risk of imputed informed ding, we venture to suggest to Gen. that good word for the Papagoes, in his report, although not within the specific scope of his in- might do good and would the honest praise of all honest men who practically know the Indians of Arizona.
