According to Information received from
gentleman of high character In Arizona,
recent developments in that territory indi-
cate that there has been great mismana E.
ment and probably fraud in the conduct of
Indian affairs there. 1t Is not alleged that
agents have all been dishonest, but that
through some outside pressure they're being
forced TO receive supplies of inferior quality

Temperance Convention this morning laid
on the table the resolutions of Rev. G. W.
Dennison oppos ng the position of the
British alliance that the drinkers of liquors
may advocate prohibition. A grand nation
al mass meeting was ordered to be held in
Philadelphia 10 connection with the Cen
tennial celebration. In the discussion of
the claims Of the National Publication Sc
ciety it was made known that ten thousand
dollars were necessary to pay its indebted
ness, and $11, 900 were raised by subscrip-
ton.
Resolutions were adopted in substance
congratulatiDg the friends of temperance on
the progress made sincs the meeting in
1868, and declaring that total abstinence
from all intoxicating drinks, brewed or dis
titled, is the true basis of temperance re-
form. -
A resolution was adopted that the vend-
ers of liquor and the owners of the premises
be held responsible for damage done by IN.
etriates; also recommending all Temperance
societies to advocate the repeal of State Ii
cense laws. and urge the abolition of the
manufacture of liquors in the Territories
and the District of Columbia. After a
long debate q resolution was adopted that
the time has arrived fully to introduce the
temperance issue in State and natlona pol
iics; that we recommend all friends of
temperance to make it paramount issue,
to cooperate with existing party organize
lions when they endorse prohibition and
nominate ca didates pledged to its support,
otherwise to organize for separate party ac-
ton in every State and congressional and
ELECTORAL district of the United States. A
resolution was also adopted that Congress
should appoint commissioner to enquire
into the effects of intempersuce on the pub
lie welfare, urging preachers to preach
against the use of liquors; commencing
the formation of Sabbath-school temper
ance socities, snd temperance publications;
recommending Congressional prohibition of
the importation of liquors, and requesting
the National Ten per2nce Society to issue
text book for schools, showing the evils of
intemperance. Adjourned sine die.

ofhcers or government we believe to have
been legally elected, then We solemuly pro.
test against the further perpetuation Of the
Kellogg usurpation, which we know to have
been conceived in fraud and infamy and
established through perjury and misrepre-
sentation.
Fifth-In the name OF tbs people Of tho
common wealth, so long suffering in the dis
graced influence by political adventures
and dishonest legislation and oppression,
We ask either the withdrawal of that fed,
eral protection by which alone the spurious
and illegal usurpation of Mr.. Kellogg is
sustained, to the end that our legal govern
ment may assert its supremacy, or else our
State be placed under martial law, pending
new reconstruction BY the federal govern
ment.
General Sheridan then addressed the
meeting. He said the Kellogg government
was never elected, and it only required a
firm front from the people. His speech was
full Gf the characteristic points so familiar
from his lips of late. He characterized the
action of Congress as simply upon the bill
for new election, and not affecting the
status OF the government of Louisiana. He
declared that Kellogg could never win in
this fight.
Mr.. Ellis then made few moro remarks
urging the audience te enlist in the militia
and follow where McEnery led them, after
which the resolutions were adopted and the
meeting adjourned.
