PERMANENT RELIEF.

The San Diego Union shows that Judge Porter (and wife) arrived at that place on the 10th instant; and the way-bill of the stage line shows that E. c. Jacobs, early this week, reached Florence on his way to Camp Grant as Indian Agent at that place ; the first named gentleman relieves the Territory of one of the worst Judges q. Reavis) that ever afflicted any peo- pie, and the second of an Indian Agent whose association probably was most conspicuous in debasing the degraded Apaches, and disastrous to the hard working farmers and the common prosperity of all.
 Our readers will bear witness that THE CITIZEN has heretofore referred to Reavis and Whitman in unmistake- able language. The liveliest imagina- ton could not describe their public careers in sufficiently damning style, and hence we have never attempted the task, but simply recited from time to time some of the deviltry of each.
 A prominent citizen has sworn that he considered Reavis and associates a "greater curse to this Territory than "all the Apaches in it;' and by Whitman's refusal to meet and at tempt to refute public charges of an almost infamous character made against himself, especially as all op- portunity was afforded him to do so before a court composed of men. as the sequel proved, who sympathized with him to the extent of putting themselves on the records of the na- tion in the attitude of moral pol troons, if not perjurers, he must stand as low as MT. Hellings and the com- munity in general hold Reavis, Rowell and their confederates. AS we said a couple of weeks ago, no effort of ours can add to Whitman's disgrace, and he is deprived of power to further degrade the Apaches and injure the struggling settlers of Arizona and as there Is even reason to hope that by this time Reavis is writhing in his own well-earned contempt in private life, we will now mainly dismiss both from further consideration. Our con- plete justification for paying them so much attention, is found in the fact that both held public positions of great power and used them to injure instead of benefit the public. As public nuisances, this journal had to assist in their abatement.

GENERAL HOWARD left Maricopa Wells last Sunday for Mcdowell. After conference with General Crook, he will come to Tucson-we presume via Grant, and may be expected here any day. MT. John Smith who was at Maricopa Wells, and had an ex- tended talk with the General, writes us that he Is of the decided opinion that General Howard will do what is right. As this people never asked for anything else, we are rejoiced to have
 this additional and creditable testi- mony that at last we have among us 8 special peace agent who will do right. Nothing more is wanted here.

/COMPANY G, 21st Infantry, former ly stationed at Bowie, arrived here last Saturday and moved forward on Tuesday for Yuma en route to Oregon. The company is in command of Captain H. M. Smith, who also con- manded the post of Bowie for long time past. Captain Smith is a val uable officer. He permitted no op- portunity to do good public service, to pass unimproved. The many times men have been killed and mails destroyed by the Apaches in that section, he rendered prompt aid to the full extent of the forces of the post, and so in relation to his public duties generally. Captain Smith car ries with him the good wishes of this people in general, and all will hear of any good fortune attending him with much pleasure.

THE California Republican is the name of a new evening paper-seven columns to the page-which first ap- peared in San Francisco April 4. As the name suggests, it is a partisan paper and sustains the present national administration. While The Bulletin, Alta, Call, and Chronicle all have more or less Republican leanings, none can be termed partisan papers therefore The Republican is the only strictly Republican one in San Fran cisco. It promises everything in the way of news at home and from abroad, and is edited with respectable ability. The price Is surely low-$f per annum and five cents per copy. It Is published by an association at 424 Washington street.

THE telegraph says the Union Pa cific Railroad was again blockaded by snow, on the 9th instant, near Laramie. This is an April argument for the necessity of the Texas Pacific. The latest accounts seem to indicate that since Colonel Scott and associates have the franchise for this road, a lot of the former manipulators have con- menced presenting claims for large sums which look much like black mailing work. It seems evident that Colonel Scott $ Co. mean actual con- struction, but these claimants will do all they can to embarrass and black mail the company and thereby delay work. San Francisco Is terribly walked up on railway matters and seriously threatens to help build the thirty fifth parallel road.

THE Tucson public school is progress ing, under the tutorship of MT. John Spring, beyond the expectations of its most hopeful friends. Last Tuesday it was visitied by Governor Stafford, ex-of- ficio Superintendent of Public Schools for the Territory, Dr. F. H. Goodwin, a school director, F. s. Leon, J. M. Elias, Joaquin Telles, Refujio Pacheco, LeOpol- do Carrillo, Francisco Romero, Francisco Ruelas, Leonardo Apodaco, Sam'l Hughes, Or. k. $. Wilbur and ourself No special effort to exhibit the attachments of the pupils was made, but progress was visible the school. The primary step is to teach the pupils English, and their advance in this respect is remarkable. Sentences pronounced in Spanish by the teacher were readily written out in English, and errors were slight and rare. The progress ia penmanship is noteworthy. The neat ness of the copy books, and the improve ment shown on each succeeding page are surprising The pupils called to the black board in these and arithmetical eXer- cises exhibited thoroughness and the teachers fitness for the work in hand
 Governor Stafford, F. s. Leon and Leo- poldo Carrillo each addressed the pupils, all the remarks having tendency to in cite more interest in each pupil, and the speakers qualification at the certain progress exhibited The pupils seem to be very jealous, and they readily acqui- esce in proper discipline.
 If any ever doubted the necessity or sue cess of the free public school system even here, they need only examine the work in Tucson to be cured of their doubts. It would be shame and almost crime to not maintain the eschool so auspiciously begun. More room and instructors should be pro- vided. The man who objects to any reas- enable expenditures for these purposes is not worthy the name of an American citi zen. Governor Stafford has already secured asuitable lot for large building and is de- termined to advance the good work of ed ucating the youth. The visitors were all pleased and encouraged at what has already been accomplished, and all said the school must tgaon.

Tho Forthcon,ias Pork Crop.

For many years past the packing interest
have gifen currency in the Fail 10 estimates
Of the number OF hogs to come forward. and
the probable course of prices during the
packing season. These estimates have inva-
riabIy been made in their own interests; and
" i,h the view Of influencing the course of
The markets against the farmer. And very
frequently they have had this effect. =, far,
there has been no influence at work To coun-
teract these estimates farmers in on. lucaii-
~ have keen ignorant Of the condition of af-
fairs in other localities, and the season has
often zen far advanced, and tie greater
portion of the crop has been marketed,
before the truth has leaked out that the
estimates we're erroneous. the crop really
short one, and the farmers cheated largely in
tie price they should have received This
season the packers have early brought tho
appliances to bear on the market v i,h a view
of securing Z faTciabl range Of prices; and
at q general convention held q. Cincinnati
about the middle Of September, had consid-
cradle to say upon the subject of the supply
of hogs and their prospective value. Of
course, according to their opinion, hogs. will
be low-worth, in fact, about as much as the
c,'operaGs In which the packers will encase
them before the season closes. If this is
true, of course il is to the Interest of the
farmer to be informed of it st as early date
as possible. Wesuspect, however. that the
packers are playing thei: old cams over
again, and that the true condition of affairs
will vary in some degree from wna: they

years. He had already cut its roots pre-
psratory to the first stroke, but was or
deredslo let it remain. He did so, and
in the following year it was loaded with
superb fruit Of an entirely unknown va
riety, which at once became celebrated.
The root-pruning the gardener had given
it worked like charm. Hot many years
afterwards, when the Duchess D'Apgou-
leme was passing through Lyons, is in

Nine fair maidens presented the Duchess
with golden sAlvera, on which lay heap

bestow on it her name, and the pear,
now recognized as the browning glory Of
all fruits, was thenceforward known as
the Duchess D'Angouleme.

Potting Plants .

A plant should no. be potted when it
is very dry, nor when soaking with wet.
In the former case, it is very likely to
remain dry, IS the water will pass thro
the fresh soil without penetrating into
the old ball of earth. When the roots
are thickly interviewer, they may be
spread out into the fresh soil; but in
shifting young; healthy, growing plants,
the roots which may be reaching the
sides Of the pot, should not be disturbed
~ it is important to preserve the smaller
ones, upon whose action the health Of
the plant chiefly depends.
