The APACHEs.-General Crook is making
"good Indians" of the Arizona Apaches at a
rate that leaves little doubt of his being able.
at an early day. to announce that the Indian
war has closed in his section of Cncle Sans
domain. The latest news from Arizona is,
that the Fifth Cavalry in conjunction with the
Pima and Maricopa Indians, have been quite
successful in following up the Apaches, and that
forty nine Of the latter have been killed, of
which number thirty.six were killed by the
Pima and Maricopa allies, at place called
Black Canyon. on the Aqua Fria, near the
Bradshaw Mountains If the War Department
will only let General Crook have his own way,
and not bother him with the Quaker peace pol.
icy, he will rid Arizona Of the Apaches in u
short time. but now that he has gone earnestly
at work, we shall expect to hear of Vincent
Collycr or some othar danphool" being sent
out to save the red devils, and make another
pence with them.

Cor lr BAp.-Salt Lake City has got 1t
the epizoctic-and has it bad The Herald of
January 22d says that about two.thirds of all
the horses in the city are affected with the
disease. Mr.. Wines has been compelled 10
suspend his staging operations between Salt
Lake and Stockton and 0phir. in Toole coun.
y; and all the horses belonging to Wells,
Fargo T. Co, the Street Car Company. and
the z. c. NJ. !. are also affected. Mr.. HIP.
kimball has twenty.iv horses affected: Mr.
Wines between thirty aud forty; and in the
stable of Messrs Beaham e. Mulloy thirty.
nine horses were sick, az also thirty. three in
Mckimmin's stable. Should the horses of the
Overland Stage Company take the disease We
may expect any day to hear Of tn reaching
BOISE Valley, aud thence extending to Eastern
Oregon. Soms Of tho papers state that the
germs Of the disease are in the atmosphere.
Il such is the case the atmosphere Of Boise
City should be suscharged with "epixoot."

her trial, that we don't see how any juror with

could hesitate to bring in verdict of murder

Too OFFICIous.-Some Oficious individu-
ais throughout the different States seem to De-
lieye that they are well occupied when med
ding with other peoples affairs In the Sen
ate OF the United States, on January 10th. no
less than seven petitions were presented by
Senator's from different States, praying for the
"prohibitiou of the manufacture. Importation
and sale Of all intoxicating liquors to be USED
as a beverage in the Territories OF the United
States, and in the District of Columbia" Some
of these petitions come from Connecticut, some
from Indiana, and others from Michigan; ana
about all of them originated in the lodges OF
Good Templars throughout the country. We
have nothing to say against the Good Templars
as an order. as we believe their aims and OBJ
iects praiseworthy. We are glad to see their
lodges in prosperous condition, and hope
they may gather accessions to their ranks I'M
til intemperance shall be no more; but when
they attempt to interfere in affairs of State,
and proclaim, through Legislative enactments,
what other men shall eat or drink, we propose
tn war with them to the knife, and from the
knife to the hilt. We are opposed to any So
ciety, scot or order attempting to force their
peculiar theories down the threats OF the peo-
ple. whether it be the Good Templars, Free
Masons, Odd Fellows, Catholics. Presbyterl-
ans, Ku-Klux or any other denomination or
association of individuals whatsoever. Let
the Good Templars, like any ether society, re-
" on moral suasion. To that extent have
they the right to carry their teachings, and no
further. You can no more legslate temper
ance into people than you can religion and
all attempts to dc SO have proved abortive.
Let these sanctimonisus paraeons of pertec-
ton in Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey
and elsewhere, who manifest such an unsollc
tied interest in our welfare. pluck the beam
from their own eye before endeavoring to re-
move the mote from ours. The people of the
Territories are as capable of self.government
as are those resident in ihe States We are
fully able to take care of ourselves; and we
would advise them not to NEEDLE with affairs
that in no way concern them.
