To The People of Arizona

r RESPECTFULLY ANNOUNCE MY | self as a candidate for Delegate to Con- gres at the election on the 3d of November next.
 The reasons which induce me to depart from the ordinary routine of private busi- ness that may devote some attention to the public welfare, at least for this cam- paign, shall endeavor to explain at such times and places as my friends may de- termine, notice of which will be duly giv- en in the newspapers.
 cordially invite the voters of the Terri tory, without party distinction, to give me their support, and if successful, will do my best to see that no man in Arizona shall regret having cast his vote for me.

Col. W. B. RoYALL, commanding officer of the Fifth Cavalry, has detailed It. J. B. Babcock of that regiment for the recruit ing service, in pursuance of an order from the Adjutant Generals office at Washington, of date August 25. Lieut. Babcock will report to St. Louis for as- Signment.
 It is due to Lieutenant Babcock to say that he has made a very enviable record in Arizona by his excellent service in be- haif or peace. His management of the San Carlos Apaches, has met with the most emphatic appreciation of General Crook, and all our private reports from there are to his credit. It is a pleasure to be able to speak so tnreservedly in favor of an officer, and it fs with regret that we announce his departure from San Carlos

WHITE MT. RESERVATION.
It's Reduction Cost not a Dollar The Authorities Indignant that Any one Should say Otherwise -A The Land and Indian Bureaus Ap- plaud our Action.

August 30, Hon. R. c. Mccormick ad- dressed us letter with the privilege of giving the public the following extracts;
 meant to have told you, {perhaps did) when l sent copy of order reducing the White mountain reservation, that action was taken before anything was heard from Roberts. Although the signature of the President to the order was not obtain ed lowing to bis abSence), unLil July 22, the order was actually made out by the Indian office and forwarded t0 the Presl- dent July l0i as the records shOw-Or four days before Roberts telegram left Camp Apache, which the copy at the Indian of flee shows to have been July l4 instead of July l, as stated in THE CITIZEN.
 The way in which the order was obtain ed from the Indian office, was this: Hay ing waited so long for response from Roberts and being pressed by the parties interested to have the reduction made, went to the Commissioner with the best maps l could get, and asked him if he would not consent to be guided by them without waiting longer TOT a report from Roberts. He said he would, and between us it was agreed July l0) that all that part of the reservation east of lQ9o 30' longi- tude, should be restored to the public do- main.
 I have made careful inquiry at the Ind ian office and the Land office to ascertain if any one representing lawyer Hughes or any other party, had appeared in behalf of the reduction of the reservation and been put to any expense. l am assured that no one but myself was heard from on the question, and 1 can certify that the whole matter was perfected without in- volving the expenditure of one dollar.
 The Departments gre justly indignant at the statement of Hughes that the reduc- tion had "inyolved expense which Ougb | to be repaid," and applaud your action. in promptly exposing his attempt at iD.posi- tiOn and blackmail.
 In relation to the foregoing, We need on- ly say that the date Of Agent Roberts, orig inaI telegram on the subject, is July l, 1874, as stated in THE CITIZEN of July 25, and that It was dispatched from the Tue son office July +, 1874; and further to di- rect public attention to how our acton is regarded in tbe Land and Indian offices at Washington. Now the exposed parties will have to include those, two great De- partments of government as participants in misreprsenting them. Poor fellows! How does it come that such ugly and uni form impressions have been left upon all who have read what we have published in this matter?

THE proceedings of mass meeting held in the courthouse last Saturday, in pur- suance of call published in THE CITIZEN Of September 5; appears as an advertise ment to-day. The proceedings of a small meeting held thereafter are withheld from publication by the participants in the meeting, and hence do not appear. We could give every act done in it from our notesi but as number of citizens who were connected with it; have decided up on the suppression of all the proceedings; SO far as they can, we will abstain from giving publicity to more than is necessary ss vindication of a number of good men.

Two vessels recently made arrange ments to leave San Francisco to take car goes of wheat direct from San Diego to Europe, but one of them was given a cargo at the former city and remained, while the other proceeds to San Diego for the purpose stated. San Diego is pointing up, and has good hopes of being the terminus of the Pacific and Asiatic telegraphic cable.

D. A. SANFORD was in town this week from his ranch on the Cienega, southeast of Tucson. He says he recently sold 300 as fine cattle as ever were>seen in Ari- zona, to Ewing & Curtiss to use in SUD- plying the Apaches: The Messrs. Sanford have about 1900 head of old cattle and 500 calves. They have a very large and convenient corral, plenty of water, wide range of rich pasturage and climate un- surpassed for their business.

TEE Gro Blanco Mines are looking very we'll. D. c.

L. w. CARR came in from his ranch this week and reports his sheep and lambs do- ing very well. MT. Jones, in charge CT Gov. Safford's flock, was in yesterday, and gives like account of 1t. There IS no doubt about the perfect adaptation of this section to sheep-raising; but of course it takes some time and labor to prepare for Iambing, and without certain convenient ces and care, many young lambs are cer- tain to be lost. This is true of large flocks anywhere.
