in Arizona will be only things of history.
 Peace is practically enjoyed now through
 the instrumentality of General Crooks wisdom and pertinacious industry, and
 his labors have been most signally recog-
 nized by President Grant. These points
 gained, it is, in our view, not jeopardizing
 the good cause or causes, to occupy a little space in our own behalf. It was a personal misfortune, in our own estima-
 ton, when in 1870 it seemed necessary for us to reenter journalism; but having every week to say something to the pub lie about the highest of all human rights, those of person and property, we have done it in manly and honest way, whether it is possible for craven and avaricious wretches to understand or believe it or not. In advance, we knew to what viliication and attempted injury we would be subjected, and are not at all appOinted-eXcept in that to an un- usual degree, the parties most peridous towards us, are those our paper and con- versation will show were specially favor ed by us. Placed as we werethen, as we are still, and expect to be for an indefinite period, it seems proper to for once say a few words in our own behalf, especially since we have used our paper to so highly nd Sfoin nf Va no office which is within the gift of the people of Arizona, notwithstanding we intend to advocate their interests in the future as well, or better if possible, as in the past. If there are any of what soreheads and disappointed men and Oemagogues call "rings" in Arizona, we neither know of them nor belong to any of them. We lived comfortably be- fore we had public office or newspaper one, and feel perfectly competent to do it again when we have neither. When the President wants somebody else for sur veyor-general in Arizona, we presume he'll exercise his right and have one; and when the people here don't want such a journal as we print for them, we expect they'll decline to give us living support in that respect. In either or both cases we shall not exhibit any soreheadism nor complain of the ingratitude of the people as whole or of republics, but continue to work in private way, with less cares, less demands for gratuitous service, and more independence in the disposition of our time and very likely as much if not more money for our labor.

A Grand Tea Party.

Boston usually celebrates the 18th of December with about as much eclat as it does the Fourth of July. This year Phil adelphia had a very grand celebration that day, and we here acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to be present, but too late to even respond by telegraph. The interest of this occasion was largely aug mented in view of the approaching Gen. tennial Exhibition, and it was made to yiold considerable cash for the grand af- fair of 1876. The tea party was given under the auspices of the Women's Branch of the Centennial Commission in the Academy of Music. Leading men from many States were present. The States and Territories were all represented by wards of the city and tables in the room. The report in The Press says:
 The first ward was represented by the State of South Carolina and the Territory of Arizona, and the table was as fine as any other in the hall Upon it were couple of Palmetto trees and many choice arti- cles, such as fine pieces of silverware, handsome vases, and baskets of flowers. Mrs. Chadwick, the chairwoman, was ably assisted by the following named ladies: Mrs. Jenks, Miss Mary Jenks, Mrs. Bar nett, Miss Barnett, Mrs. Chubb, Mrs. Estraduss, Mrs. Nasru, Miss Sue Snow, Miss Snow, Mrs. English, Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Carley, Mrs. Ireton, Mrs. Ballenger, Mrs. Mayer and Mrs. Holerkamp.
 One of the speakers, in referring to the colonists throwing the tea in Boston har- Dor, gave the annexed bit of interesting history which is well worth perusal; and it will be noted that the good Bostonians played Indian in that memorable trans action:
 Cargoes of tea were sent to New York, Philadelphia, Charleston and Boston. New York and Philadelphia refused to suffer it to be landed, and the ships re- turned to London without breaking bulk. At Boston the citizens insisted upon send ing them back, but the authorities refused their assent. When the ships approached the wharves, the people gave notice to the captains not to land the cargoes. The excitement spread and town meeting spontaneously assent bled. When it was announced that the Governor had haugh- tily refused clearance to the ships that they might return, the widest tumult prevailed. Suddenly voice in the crowd

Sonora Matters.

A friend of ours at Guaymas, Mexico, writes us as follows, on Decent Der 26:
 see with great satisfaction that you are giving the CachiSe reservation a stirring up, and thoroughly ventilating the How ard-CachiSe treaty. l sent a marked copy Of THE CITIZEN with your three-coluInn article to the |. s. Minister at the City of Mexico, with some remarks of my own, speaking also of your past efforts in en- deavOring to neutraliZe the actions of Colyer and others of the peace commission stripe. The articles in THE CITIZEN of the last two months are copied into the papers of Sonora and have been reproduced in other Mexican papers on the coast.
 The Col. $. N. Co.'S steamers make their regular trips to GuaymaS and La PaZ-the freight to each remaining about the same Business has not improved, although there is some hope that it will.
 The American trade dollar being taken in China on the same footing as the Mex jean eagle dollar, has caused a falling off of the premium of to per cent. to 7 and 21a on the latter. The merchants on this coast are growling at this change, and it may be that some change will be made by the Mexican national Congress at it's next session, by reducing the export duty of } per cent. on Mexican coin or abolish it altogether which should be it's action.
 The committee of examination on claims for Apache depredatiOns in Sonora and Chihuahua have not yet commenced investigations. The members are await ing Secretary from the City of Mexico. The Mexican consul for Tucson has not yet arrived.

All False.

This is from a late number of The New Mexican at Santa Fe:
 La Revista Universal of Mexico says that the Governor of Arizona promised to indemnify the Papago Indians of Sonora for injuries lately received by them at the hands of the ApacheS, but that now the Governor refusing tO comply with his pro- mise, an appeal will be made to the Mex ican Government by the Papagos, for rec lamation against the United States.
 There is no truth whatever in the above report, and it is absurd to suppose that the Governor ever promised to do what is stated, and indirectly a islander to say he refuses to comply with his promise. Gov. Stafford would not make such a foolish promise knowing that he could command no means to fulfil it. The Governor never before knew that the Papagos claimed any recompense for their losses, and surely if they do, the subject has not been brought to his attention officially or otherwise. An intelligent newspaper man knows that Territorial governors have no authority or means to reimburse the losses of Indians or other bodies of people.

Entertaining Reading.

Entertaining reading about Arizona is Eevidently what our patrons look for in
 THE CITIZEN. Some months ago, we pub ! lished an opinion or two about the Will ing Mining and Exploring Company, and the following exhilerating account of the
 progress of said company, we find in The Albuquerque Review of December 2.
 With such an array of officers and one, too, a former private Presidential secre- tary, makes our heart beat with renewed hopes for the early development of our mining resources. But to The Reviews history:
 Dr. George M. Willing, general superin- tenGent of the Willing Mining and EX- plOring company arrived here from New York on Tuesday. The Doctor is on his way to Prescott, A. T., to superintend ar- rangements for the opening and develop ment of the mineral property of the com pany. This corporation was chartered by the State of Pennsylvania in 1866, and owns immense tracts of mineral lands in Arizona and California, of which may be mentioned the Bradshaw and Owens Lake Districts Among it's officers are Lucien Birdseye, V. President; w. O. StOddard formerly private secretary of President LincOln), Secretary, and George M. Will ing, Jr., General superintendent. Upon a plat Of the Owens lake property shown us by the Doctor was marked lode of gold and silver bearing quartz measuring $500 feet long by an average of two hun dred feet in breadth. There are numerous other leads marked of large dimensions in other parts of their property but this one seems to be the monster. We con- gratulate Arizona upon this evidence of her prospective richness and hope the Willing company may be successful in de- velOping her resources. Dr. Willing is known to many of our residents as the same gentleman who was exploring Ari- zona in 1865, but had narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Apaches. In his Wanderings during the time he was dodging Mr. To, the Doctor made some of his most valuable discoveries. He is grateful for having escaped on that occa- sion and thanks the late Gen. Carleton for his rescue. He now thinks that since the Apaches are comparatively quiet under the judiciOuS management of Gen. Crook, confidence will be restored in mining prop erty and an era of unparalleled prosperi- ty inaugurated.

raised the Indian war-whoop, the lights were put out, and the meeting dissolved in confusion. The mass hurried to the wharf where the ships were moored. Soon forty persons disguised as Indians appeared in the crowd. A rush was made for the ships, the Indians reached the decks, and hatches were raised. There was no disorder and no haste. The great crowd was hushed-profound silence reigned except as the busy workers on the ships passed to and fro. In two hours three hundred and forty chests of tea were staved and their contents emptied into the sea. It was the l6th of Decem- Der, l773, the power of England WAS defed, and the strong tide of the revolu- tion swept on.

RESIGNATION or A TREASURY
OPFiCER.

Hon. A. B. Mullstt, for ten or twelve
years past Supervising Architect oil the
Treasury Dspartasnt in Washington,
yesterday resigned his Office. His rsa-
sons for rssigning are given in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Warrington. dated
yesterday:
Secretary Brstow being asked the
cause Of Supervising Architect Mullett's
resignation, pointed 10 the revised stat
utss. which direct that the Chief Clerk
Of the Treasury Department shall act as
Superintendent Of the Treasury building.
and no account for contingent expenses
shall be allowed except on certificate by
such Clerk that they are necessary and
proper. Just and reasonable. all erpendi-
tures for furniture being subject to the
approval Of the Secretary Of thsTrsasury.
Il appears Mullet had hssn in the habit
Of controlling this contingent fund,
amounting to about s100. 900, and when
his attention was called to the law he
said be would rather resign than lose
control Of this fund. The Secretary re-
marked he was only doing his duty in
accordance with the law, and II Mullett
was not willing to be governed by the
law no would accept his resignation.
which Mullstt accordingly prepared and
IL Wa accepted. The Secretary did not
express anytwant Of confidence in Null.

Mr.. Mullett is well known to the wri-
ter. He 10 n Of the most energetic,

A National shaving Bureau.

We find the following In the New

And whereas much Of the shaving
soap now in use Ia utterly unit for use;
And whereas many OF the boys and
young men employed by our trade take
hold OF the noses Of our customers with
dirty fingers and are utterly ignorant OF
the proper method Of strapping rnzors;
And whereas the disease known a. the
BARRIERS itch Ia q most disagrssable CON-
plant and Is owing to neglect in clean
ing lathsr brushes;
And whereas II has been recently dis
discovered that the central government

called the Supreme Court Of the United
States;
And whereas the number Of office
holders in the United States Is ridicu-
lously small and IL believed 10 be less
than the number Of acres between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean;
And whereas the people arc every
where clamoring for the establishment
Of new bureaus, the appointment OF
more ofico.holders and the imposition
Of moro taxes to support them; there
fore,
