 GENERAL SHERMAN ON ARIZONA, AND KENDALL ON EASTERN
 PECK>NIEFs."
 In the course of his speech, MT.
 Kendall quoted largely from the
 statements made by General Sher
 m+n before the Military Com.
 mttee to show how uSefulIy the
 present for e is employed. and, at the suggestion. of Delegate Me Cormick, read the General, ac-
 count of the Fifth Cavalry in
 Arizona, concluding aS follows:
 "Under the leadership of Gene
 ral CroO il has subdntd the wild
 ApacheS. who are now aS much
 afraid of this regiment as Indians
 ought to be afraid of our soldiers.
 General Crook, win thls regiment
 and some infantry, has restored comparative peace to that c0un-
 try; not peace exactly, but such
 peace only as can exist in that
 mi.eablp de >ert land. If you gen.
 tleman, will get: Mexico to take
 Arizona back, I will agree to kn.mk two regiments of cavalry from our eSlim ties but as Tom CorWin used tU Say "it is our cOuu. try, and therefore We mutt love it and protect it."
 "Here, perhaps" said Mr Ken dtll, II owe an apology to my ffiend from Arizona for reading too far and tuO much. Laughter. ]
 Without indnrsiug all these statements aS regards the chardc. ter of that Territory. which. as 1 have alre ,dy rem irked. is re- presented so faithfully by my friend at my side, 1 would say that. in my belief, the operations on by General Crook in Arizona have done more to open up that Territory, abOunding as 1 think, in vast resources, than all the mau.ilin sentiment and piOu5 rxhortatiOns of your Eastern PecksnifiS and pseudD-phil tnthrO- bis 5, sO lavishiy expended from the organization of the peace com down to yesterday, when all the people of Arizona were kindly rdvised by the gentleman from New York Mr. Wheeler] to abandon the country they have partially >ubdued. .and come with. in the limits of civilization" Laughter

 Mir. Mccormick denied the cor rectness of General Sherman's regarding the charac. er of the territory he represented. He, Mccormick, was prepared to 'ay, after ten years of familiarity with the south. western region required under the GaudalOupe 1idalgo and the G ul5en treaties. liter ten years of examination of Is resources, that he believed it | o be one of the richest mineral districts belonging to the Gpvern- nent-a country we'll worth pro- ecting. and which to- day would 'e returning millions of dollars to he TretSur1 of the United States f it had adequate protection for ts settlers. 50 that they could pro. ecute their industries without 0n5tant interruption on the part f the hostile savages. If this pro- ectiOn were afforded, the errito. v would soon yield q revenue of 20. 000.OOO a years from its gold nd siirer mines, to say nothInu f it's utterly under-rated .resour. es of other descriptions. While ir 1hS true that many of the bold Ipaches had been forced by Gene al Crook tO go upon reservations, ct it was equally certain that ney would not stay there unless e is allowed to retain all the ,rce he has al this time, The resence of the troops to watch 1em upon the reservation was, rcording to the Commissioner Of 1dian Atftirs, d part of the Pre- dents so carled peace policy; nd he (Mct t'OrInick) earnestly ! rotesied against any reduction of [ le nun Ter. Furthermore, he pro- , 'sted most emphaticaly against le acceptance year after year, statements from persons who I e not qualified to speak on sub- { cts relating to the frontier. and sainot what he characterized as f e absolute indifference 10 the f en who come from there, and [ no have d right 10 speak.
