right to coin money or to regulate, iu

weighs and measures.
Fortunately for u, the system in
come Of the States has been under wise
regulation and control and We are not
without tho proper light for legislative
guidance. Tke State Of Illinois was
among the first to comprehend the mag
aitudc Of the railroad system, and as
carly as 1S49 she began to lcgislate
with an intelligence and an effect SINH
lar to that displayed by tho more
enlightened governments of Europe
She passed general railroad law in
that year, giving to any five or more
persons who should become an incorpor-
ated company under it, the right to
construct and operate railroad in any
part Of the State, on such conditions
and under such limitations as were
prescribed in the act. Tho franchise
was limited to term Of fifty years in
the first instance, but such corporation
had the right to renew from time to
time, but for periods not exceeding
fifty years, and only on such te'ms as
the Legislature should prescribe. The
State made no absolute surrender Of its
franchise, or Of its power to regulate
and control it. A general supervisory
power was lodged in board Of State
Commissioners, to which all the trans
actions Of the companies were annually
submitted, and all questions. not strict

THE APACHES.
RECENT MURDERS AND R0BBERIEs

Since our last, news of the following crimes committed by Apaches, have come to hand;
 April 26, Mexican, while herding stock near Camp Crittenden, in Pima county, was murdered by Indians, who, after committing the bloody deed, ran off eight head of work cattle.
 April 27, Indians attacked the house of John Whitehead, Situate within s miles of Crittenden), killed him and wounded his wife, who, running for dear life, reached the house of neighbor just little ahead of the Apaches.
 Friday of last week, some savages visited Upper Hassayampa Creek, about miles from Prescott, and drove off four head of work cattle belonging to c. Davis, who, with another white man, took the trail of the thieves and followed it as far as the head of Grapevine creek, in Big Bug District, when, from numerous Indian tracks and other ind- cations, they became convinced that Indians were quite plenty in the vicinity, so they i'm mediately retraced their steps, followed by a party of about 40 savages. Mr. D., we learn, found the remains of his cattle in camp where the sauages had killed and eaten them.
 On the evening of the same day, the sav- ages attacked three men, who were at work
  Verde, and came very near killing all three of the men.
 So, the bloody work goes on, with its usual sad and painful results
 And, the foregoing Is not all, as the driver or inc Wickenburg stage informs us that, previous to his departure from Wickcnburg, few days ago, news had reached that place of the capture of l.. s. mail wagon, between Tucson and Camp Bowie, with the n urder of driver and passengers
 Then, from the Del Pasco mine, about 25 miles south from Prescott, we have news that, on the night of the 10th instant party of savages stole five head of work cattle from Mir. Clanton, robbed the buildings near the mine, and left an immense arrow, a token of defiance to the poor white men whose business they have well nigh broken up.
 So time passes in this Apache-ridden land. Mur- der after murder and robbery after robbery of cit izens by barbarous Apaches, and still our Gov ernment talks of nothing but feeding and edu- eating the murderers! TEis, too, while Govern ment officials reveling in case and luxury {; while the soldiers of the Government arc idling away life around posts or doing useless work.
 O, God! what mockcry and shame! What a sin and disgrace it Is for our Government to permit, from day to day and from year to year, the murder and robbery of citizens who are engaged in earnest efforts to subdue this wilderness.

MINES AND MINING.

We can now, with great truth, state that we have seen and examined fully two-thirds of all the old and newly discovered gold and silver mines in this portion of Arizona, but it was not until Monday last that our eyes be- held the group of gold and silver bearing ledges known as the Benjamin series, which lie almost at the doors of the people of Pres colt, and which are being opened by their hopeful, energetic owners, in way that testifies to their "truthfulness as permanent veins, as we'll as to the great wealth of many of them.
 On the day in question, Ed. w. Wells, John Laugblin, John Raible, Mr. McCaffrey and ourself started on horse back, into the pine forrest south of Prescott, and, after ride of about two hours, arrived at the cabin of G. T. $. Curtis, who gave us very hearty welcome and something else. Soon, there after, we were in the bucket, going down the large shaft of the Canadian mine. Arrived at the bottom thereof, we closed our eyes a few moments, the better to accustom them to the darkness that prevailed at depth of 65 feet in the breast of old Mother Earth. On opening them, we were highly pleased at beholding splendid looking vein of dark quartz, carrying gold and silver in great abun- dance, which vein was dipping slightly to the north, between it's slick castings of talcose slate. Water was seeping in pretty fast, and really, as an old miner would say, Every indication was encouragirg.n
 The country rock and $ vein matter were gradually growing harder.
 Having satisfied ourself that the Canadian was every way worthy the devoted attention of miners and all who live of the labor of this useful class of our population, we sig nified cur willingness to "be drawn out" and 1t was but . short time until our feet pressed the crust of that rich old pie-Moth- sr Earth. Then it was Mir. Curtis informed

From the Arizona City Sentiad we learn of the cowardly murder of Sam. Fouchay. at
 New River Station, Lower California, some
 70 miles below Arizona City. When the eastward bound mail stage to San Diego ar rived at the station, about o'clock on We'd nesday night, 2d inst, the passengers found the door of the station closed, and upon push ing it open discovered the body of Fouchay, laying on the floor with book in his hand and a bullet hole through his head, which leads to the supposition that the deceased was reading at the time the murder was con- mitted. The station belongs to George Nc Conihe, who also had a small store, consisting of dry goods and provisions. About month ago he employed Mir. Fouchay to attend to his business for him. The store was robbed Of about $25 in cash and . small lot of call coes. Fouchay wss formerly teamster em- ployed by Government at Wilmington, Cal, bot latef1y came from Mexico, we're, 1t is said, he bad some difficulty with the natives. h
 js kSlieved that the murder was committed by Mexicans who were travelling into Cali.

Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.

An enthusiastic meeting of the monied men of San Francisco was held in the Chamber of Com. merce, May 9th, to confer with the officers of the A. s& F. K. R. Co.,, and tho St. Louis men who nc. companicd them to San Francisco on railroad bus mess.
 Tine Chamber was crowded, and the Chronicle of the Eth, inst gives three column history of the proceedings. Mayor Brown, of St. Louis, and other gentlemen made speeches showing the condi- ton of the road, financially, and in prospective, requesting San Francisco to join St. Louis in com- pctlng the road, and in proposing that San Fran cisco should subscribe l5,000,000, and work on the road should be pushed. The proposition was unanimously endorsed by the meeting, and the following resolutions were moved.
 Resolred That 1t Is tho sense of the representa- tive men of San Francisco, here assembled, that the pending proposition 10 construct and man- tain first class railroad from St. Louis to San Francisco, on the thirty-iith parallel as made by the Committee of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail road Company to the people of this city, is a fair and honest proposition, and should be acceptable to the people of San Francisco; provided that the subscribers to said stock in California shall have all the control in the management that may be desired 10 secure the independence Of said road forever in the interests of San Francisco, and entire freedom from all monopolies.
 Resoired, That 1t Is highly important to the fu- ture welfare of San Francisco that person having the confidence of the citizens should be appointed as Commissioner to proceed at once with the delegation of St. Louis to that city, and to make thorough examination of all the affairs of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, and report possible the result of hls investigations 10 an adjourned meeting of this body; and that R. G. Sheath be appointed as such Commissioner. These resolutions were adopted unanimously and subsequently,, on motion of s. r. Dewey, the Chair was requested to appoint two additional Commissioners to accompany Mir. Sheath to St. Louis.
 The Chair appointed c. T. Hopkins and John s. Hagcr.
 Mir. Hopkins said he was authorized to state that Alvinza Hayward will head the subscription list with sum that none of you have ever dreamed Of" (Applause)
 Aher more speeches had been made, the mcct- ing adjourned.
 From Senator Casserly.
 The following dispatch is significant in conncc- ton with the railroad meeting:
 WAsHrNeroN, May 4. 1872. Hon HiNiam Aicord, Chairman Committee: To win here, San Francisco must stand firm and all together without faltering or divided council. San Francisco must lave a Peoples Railroad of her own, connecting with all trans-contiuental roads; otherwise, no safety now or hereafter. Without this, all is deusion.
