SOME enterprising Yankee has of fered $60,000 for the use of Captain Jack of the Modoc braves for sixty days, $50, ,OOO to be paid down on his delivery at Chicago, and the balance at the expiration of the engagement. The enterprising snowman would un- doubtedly make 8 good thing of it.
 but it would not look very dignifed for the government to engage in the show business. Hence we do not think the offer will be accepted. If he should be placed on exhibition however we propose that the proceeds be given to the widows and orphans he has made.

THE unofficial opinion of officials in Washington is that Colonel Mackenzie acted just right. The President yesterday, in conversation with a Western Representa- tive in Congress on the subject of Mexican raids into Arizona, is reported to have said that the depredations of Mexican bandits and lawless Indians, having their haunts on Mexican soil, had become so intolerable that in his opinion the time had come for some decisive action on the part of this gov ernment, in order to protect the lives and property of citizens Washington Re- publican.

WE publish in another column some "reminiscences of Tucson in olden times as related by the oldest Arizonan now living. It gives but hint of what we should like to know of town that existed long before our independ- ence as nation. We hope, however, that 1t may lead to further investiga- tion and that more of the early his- tory of this country may yet be res cued from oblivion. The question is often asked by whom, and when was San Xavier built? Who was the first to settle in Tucson and when was the settlement commenced? We see the ruined church in front of Tucson, the walls of large buildings almost in the heart of the city, but no written record is left of them. We have & Spanish map of Arizona made in 1776 which shows the Territory to have contained at that time many villages, missions and military posts, and the same map shows that Cali fornia was but little known and sparsely populated. We know of no history that would be more interesting, especially to Arizonans, than that of the early settlement of Arizona. There was people who lived and hourished here long before the Spanish invasion, who have passed away and probably we shall never be able to find out anything more about them than we can see by the immense ir- rigating canals they dug, the towns. villages and cities that they built which now lie in ruins, but 1t would seem that more should be known and published of the early settlement of the Spaniards in this country.

WHEN the news of the surrender of some

WHEN the news of the surrender of some
 thirteen ModOcs reached IS we descan ted
 freely upon the fate which justice should
 have in store for them. That fate is the
 gallows. They have all been concerned in
 the murders and killings perpetrated by
 and Tn the name of their tri be. That they
 have surrendered is, doubtless, owing to
 the fact that they could not fight any more
 aud does not make them any less murder
 CTS than heretofore We are aware that
 the custom has been to pet all Indians who
 have proved themselves especially murder
 ous but, in the name of the foully mur-
 dered Canby, we demand that every Mo
 doc captured "kick heels with his throat
 in rope.' There should, moreover. be
 no delay about the matter. To feed and
 fondle the murderers of our troops is to
 hold out a prem ium for the unruIy savages all over the West, who grow rusty for a fight every time the grass is up. The fact that they have fought the troops should, however, weigh less than the fact that, in peace conference they assassinated an illustrious soldier and a phila nthropic di vine, whose efforts were being directed at the moment of receiving the death | wounds, towards the good of cir murder CTS. The crime cries aloud for vengeance, | and now is the moment when thirteen of the band can be made to atone. It will | be no vicarious sacrifice in their cases. The attack or feint made in another part of the lava beds at the time of the murder of Gen. Canby shows that the entire gang were ac- cessories before the fact. Hooker Jim, one of the interesting captives, is the mur- derer of the settlers on Lost River. Let them all hang. Feeding them and pam pering them will not bring in Captain Jack.-[N. '. Herald.
 The above article is a good peace : offering, and from the commencement had such been the tone of the press, the sentiment of the people and the action of the government, we should long ago have had peace with the savages, but on the contrary when they only murdered private citizens living on the frontier, their crimes were excused and they were rewarded with more presents and attentions than the peaceably inclined. To such an extent has this policy been practiced, that it is frequently re- marked by the Pima and Papago h. iians that if their hands were red . with the blood of white men, they would be favored as much by the government as the Apaches are.

Eli Rackus.

Our devil has been so constantly har-
assed by questions as to the identity of Eli
Backus, that he has seen fit to pour forth
his soul in the following melting strains :
"who is Backus?' asks every one,
"W ho is Backus, he of Flint Run q
Is he Prohib. is he sell?
w no is he, what is he, can any one tell?
The prattIing infant, on its grandfather's knee,
Lispingly asks who Backus can be;
The maiden requests her lover to guess
Who is this Backus who writes for the press.
The aged grandsire, near the end Oflife's strand,
Takes up his paper with trembling hand;
He reads the Prohibitionists articles through,
Then of course reads Backus, what else could
he do?
Then asks, in trembling tones, of his son,
"Who is Eli Backus, who lives on Flint Run p"
The feminine seribbler rushes into print,
And heaps on poor Backus sarcasm without
stint.
Now Backus is Backus, so far as we know,
And further we have no desire to go;
He can probably trace his ancestral line
Back to old Bacchus, the god of wine;
Now we bid farewell to Backus' name,
And may he put the Prohib. scribblers to shame
Long may he wave," and may we have more
OF his letters from Mulga's classic shore.
