The mail wagon from Mohave, which ar rived here just as we were going to press, brings us the startling intelligence that the Hualpai Indians, whom Gen Crook recently removed from Camp Beale Springs to the Colorado River reservation, had left that re- serve en DiaSse, and already commenced their work of deviltry. From the Cottonwoods, they had stolen two horses belonging to Webs. ter White, mail contractors from Truxton Springs, they had driven of 200 head of cat. tie and eight horses, the property of Bud Grounds, and throughout the district gener. ally, horses are missing and supposed to have been stolen by these thieves. These Indians are well armed and most of them mounted.

JOHN N. GOODWIN, formerly Governor of Arizona, and, we may say, the first Governor of Arizona, appears as "self-madc man" in the last number of the Chimney Corner re- ceived at the bookstore of Kelly & Stephens. The wood-cut of the Governor is not fatter- ing to him, nor is the letter-press description and summary of his life. So far as John N. Goodwin is concerned, he is good-looking man, or was when last we saw him. It is not, however, true that he abolished peon- age in Arizona. The Organic Act of the Territory had already done that. He, how ever, made very good Governor, and showed his love of higher power and place by going to Congress as delegate from this Territory and never afterwards returning here.
 The account says that, through his judicious course, he helped to keep citizens of the Ter ritory from getting by the ears on account of our recent national troubles, carries some truth with it, as he, with Gov Mccormick, the then Secretary of the Territory, did use every exertion to keep down anything like war in Arizona.

| WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE SAxoS-In a
 lecture in Boston, the other evening, Wen
 dell Phillips is reported to have said: "It
 does not suit our Saxon men to use their
 muscle. The genuine Yankee disdains work
 he makes his brains work for him. This is
 not the age of work; we work through in
 vention, through sagacity. We stand to-day
 in Boston and laboriously lay wire to San Francisco, 5000 miles away, and with one
 man at each end of the wire we send mes sage, and think it grand achievement But
 the men at each end know what is sent, and c. .1uld betray rhe confidence reposed in them if they pleased. We think we have react ed the goal, but the patient ingenuity of the Saxon blood, of the Yankee race, will keep at work until finally, in your grand childrens day, it will send message from San Franc,. sco to Boston without a wire; no man at either end DW kaos iohat he messa9e Is, aud it will rui. both ways at the same time. We are only to, ,Iching just the edge or fringe of tl,e garment, md undoubtedly electricity superseding steam, will light our houses, per haps lift us into the air, carry us across the world, absolutely make man the lord, with out movement of crea tion."
 With all difference to the massive intellect and towering knowledge If MT Phillips, the MINER would like to know of what account a message of which no man at either end would know anything, would be to anybody, unless, indeed, Mr P. expects that, in the advanced period of which he dreams, Joaquin Millers's Amazons will be the only men on this planet

A CHANCE OF BAsE-Recently, when some scheming politicians of the Radical wing approached the President, with the view of turing him into some scheme against the peace, dignity, freedom and money of some Southern States, Ulysses is reported as having said:
 "I begin to think that 1, Is time for the Repub. lican party 10 unload There bas been too much arms during the Rebellion and the confidence that the Republican party was strong enough to hold up any burden, have imposed all the dsaiiection of the Gulf States on the Administration. I am tired of this nonsense. Let Louisiana take care any quarrel about Mississippi State matters to be referred to me. This nursing of monstrosities has nearly exhausted the life Of the party 1 am done with them, and they will have to take care of themselves"

BILLS AND MEMoRIALs.-Hon R. c. Me Cormick, delegate in Congress from this Ter ritory, has sent us copies of the following en- titled bills and memorials, which he has in- trOduced during the present session:
 A bill to quiet title to land in the city of Tucson. December 8, lS73-Read twice, re- terred to the Committee on the Public Lands, and ordered to be printed.
 bill for the relief of Charles A. Luke. January l9, lS74-Read twice, referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, and or dered to be printed.
 This bin provides for the speedy payment, to Mir Luke, of the sum of one thousand dol lars, for property taken from him by the mil itary on the extension of lines of the Fort Mohaye military reserve.
 A bill for the relief of Milton E. Duffield, late United States marshal for the Territory of Arizona. January l2, lS7I-Read twice, referred to the Committee on Claims, and or dered to be printed.
 This bill contemplates the payment, to Mir Duffield, of s5, ,256, compensation tor ser vices, etc, during the time Mir D. acted as U. s. Marshal of the Territory. A bill authorizing the Secretary Of War to | relinquish and turn over to the Interior De partment parts of certain reservations in the Territory of Arizona no longer required for military purposes. January 19, lS74-Read twice, referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, and ordered to be printed. This relates to the abandonment of DOT tion Of the military reserves of Yuma, Whip | pie and Date Creek.

Jan. uary l9, 1S74-Read twice, referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and ordered to be printed.
 The main feature of this is, that Mexicans of good character who have resided here since the date of said treaty shall, without previ- ous declaration, be granted all privileges of citizenship, upon applying to the courts. The Memorials are, those of the Legisla- tive Assembly of the Territory, asking for donations of lands to encourage the sinking of artesian wells, and the one requesting the ceding to the Territory, of all sections of land set apart for school purposes.

From Wednesdays Dally.I

PRoPosALs for carrying the mails were opened at Washington on the 2d inst, and contracts will be awarded early in March. As yet, we have account of tut one bid in which our people have any interest t,-that for carrying mails, tri-weekly, over the route from san Diego, California, to MeSsilla, New Mexico, which route passes through Arizona, south of the Gila river The lowest bid for this service is set down at SlODOO, which shows that the grabbers have been fighting each other. The author of this low bid must have an eye upon "innuence" tbat will assist him in procuring an order for daily service, and, of course, increased pay, ss this is the reserve" always held by low bidders for mail contracts
 We are in hopes of hearing, soon, that some man or company who will run stages upon the Prescott and San Bernardino route has secured said route at decent price.
 Regarding the route that would do Ari- zona, New Mexico, California, Colorado, Kan sas and other States and Territories the most good, that from the terminus of the Califor- | na Southern Pacific Railroad to some point | in New Mexico, q friend at Washington ad- vses us that, after the letting of contracts something may be done for this route. The same friend tells us that our delegate, assist ed by Senator Sargent of California, and othes, will do everything in their power to have the route in question provided with such mail service as will satisfy those who look upon it as the shortest and best route for tri weekly or daily mail service between the States and Territories already named in this article
 This is promise in which we put conSid- erable faith.

MoRE BAD APACHEs KILLED-Folowin is the result of recent scout through Tonto Basin:
 Lieut. Babcock, 9th Cavalry, returned to Camp Apache January 18th, having met with excellent success on his scout across the Tonto Basin to that point from Camp Nc Dowell. He attacked and destroyed two rancherias one, found on small mesa, con tained 16 bucks, who were all killed, and in another engagement, six were killed and some captured. This lest encounter has al. ready been referred to in our columns.
 The MIsER, on behalf of the citizens of the Territory, thanks Lieut. Babcock, the men and guides of his command, for these telling blows, and hopes that Tonto Basin is now well rid of murderous Apaches.
