COLONIZATION SCHEMES.

 heesssary Remarks in COnnec-

Necessary Remarks in Connec- ! tion.
 November 13, we published some account Of a movement in Boston to form colony for settlement in Arizona, and today we reprint an article from
 The Providence (R I.) Bulletin on the same subject. These schemes are usual ly originated by men who have, by an accident Of public service. been in Arizona for periods of s few months or perhaps year. Having got out of public employ with no hope of getting returned to il, and seemingly if not actually incapable of engaging in any of the many legitimate occupations of life, they become practical dead beats" and live of what they can procure by working upon the sympathy of ac- qualntsnces and crcdulity of the pub lie at large. Their real sock in trade, Is what they have been. Men who knew them in positions of trust and useful ness, lose sight of them and their course, until confronted by their unexpec,edI presence seeking some favor. Their, proved worthlessness not being under. stood by men of worth who once knew them, help Is often obtained. Then in promoting schemes to delude honest laborers and to get from them their hard earned money, these dead beats persistently refer to their association with men of standing who are also imposed upon. Their capital is imposi- ton upon rich and poor. Instead of holding and advancing from the posi- lion they held in early life, they lose what was probably given them and thereafter retrograde Such men asl decidedly object 10 starving as they dol to properly earn their food. X seedy suit of brOadcloth and unfashionableI plug hat, are often the best they can dol in the way of dress, but nothing can prevent them from frequenting the general reception rooms and lounginC, places about first class hotels, where they tell tales of" marvellous countries" |" and glibly talk of schemes involving hundreds of thousands of dollars in l their execution. We migh: extend the description Of these cumberers of the i ground. but will not now.
 Now ss matter of fact, Arizona is one of the very best Territories in the Union for healthy and energetic men 70 acquire property in, and To live in comfortably; but il is not well adapted for colonization. Men may come here in organized bodies as well as singly, l but when here can do much better individually or in business associations of two 10 half dozen, like firms all over the country. than it is possible in colonies. Then again, Americans are not the material Of which To make sue cessful colonies The Boston and Providence people ought tu know this bu, times are unusually dull there and thousands act like sick men who seek cures by responding 10 the advertise ments of quack doctors.
 For mining, stock-growing, ana agriculture, Arizona oders first-class inducements to industrious men of or dinary capacity in either branch but in coming here % enter upon either branch of industry, they had better be no. hampered by rules that necessarily govern organized bodies of men. Ari- Zona now has room for firstclaSs men Tn various pursuits besides those nam ed, but colonies of them would not thrive. In fact we may say that colo nies have not flourished we'll oflate years anywhere in the United States, and we know of no instance where they have made any success save in proportion as they were composed of people brought direct from foreign nations.
 In conversation with our people most deeply interested in the settlement and Of Arizona, we find they hold views like our own, and they hink remarks like the foregoing, ought o be published There is now asteadvI stream of excellent people coming into he Territory. They at once, unre ,tricted by any organization, strike out md as rule find the opportunities hey sought. From the beginning, they lepend upon themselves and net on an Individuals have every valley and even small tract 10 the mountains to choose for a basls ]f operations, whereas cOlonists are re- ,tricted and accordingly fail to prosper.
 We have no hesitation in recon nending energetic men who are com Detent and willing to labor, to come toI Arizona and remain nor have we any n recommending all such to come ss individuals not hampered by any colo ny organization. Small parties of a iozen or so, might well enough travel ogether and perhaps very agreeably l md advantageously locate near each ,ther. Promoters and officers of colo , lies are rarely laboring men, and labor ng men had much better not devotei ] ny of their earnings to maintain such nen.
