THE Arizona Citizen has attacked the calls upon the country press to join in the crusade. We are quite ready to admit that the great metropolitan Eeastern press is a liar, that it misrepresents the Indian question and Railroad Subsidy question as it relates to Arizona, and all that, and yet there is such thing as one's over-matching ones self. Might not the Great Press" strike back at a fellow and knock him clean out of time p We never like to begin fight unless we can win it, and if it can be shown that there is prospect of success in this in stance, we will go after them {" red eyed" Not long since Prof. O. s. Fowler gave our craneum an overhauling and pronounced it "a fighting head" For time we were ready to "tackle" all the physical and intel lectual giants in the country, feeling secure in the reputation the old man had given us, until finally a stranger came that way who had not learned who we were he 'picked up muss" and got away with it, simply be- cause he didn't know we were dangerous. We don't mind tIlting lance with anything this side of the Rocky ridge, but hadn't we better reconnoiter little before we march into strange camp where they don't know who we are, and are likely to ''gobble us up" all unconcious of the risk they run in dcing so.

 Territory cf hriroaa::
 That the thanks of the people of Arizona are due, and through their representatives in the Eighth Legislative Assembly are hereby rendered, to that gallant soldier, Brigadier- General George Crook. and the officers and men under his command, for the noble ser vices they have rendered the country in sub duing the hordes of hostile Indians that had until the advent of General Crook in our Territory held the country under a reign Of terror and civilization in check
 That we recognize the fact that the policy that General Crook has pursued has been the means, and the only means, that could have effected tho final grand achievement of peace within our Territory, and immunity from depreiations from the savages. Making war as be has with vigor, vixen war had to be waged, and being merciful and just at all times to those in his power, he has not only commanded the respect but won the esteem of the savages themselves.
 That the Secretary of the Territory be in structed to transmit: copy of these resolu- tions to General Crook and to the Secretary of War, and to sll the papers printed in this Territory.
 Approved February 12, 1875.

THE BEECHER-7TL CASE.

We have not kept our readers piled with all the nauciating details of this case, nor do we deem it profitable matter for publication, though many, who care very little whether Deecher IS guilty or innocent, and who rec ognize the scriptural assertion that '' all flesh
 is grass" and liable to wither if exposed to the too direct rays of Summer sun, have curiosity enough to want to know what it is all about. We copy from the N. '. Herald of Feb 18th the most succinct statement We have seen up to the close of the testi- mony for the prosecution:
 "To those who have not read the detailed testimony of the prosecution the following brief resume will give fair statement of 1t {: Mir. Hilton received from his wife comics sion of crime. He kept this confession seve- ral months, and then wrote a letter demand ing the withdrawal of MT. Brecher from Brooklyn, and of course the abandonment of his journal and church. Shortly after he summoned MT Becher to bis presence and accused him of crime. He addressed a letter also to Mr. Bowen, reminding him that he had accused MT. Beecher of other crimes. Under the pressure of this letter, and from other reasons which were, no doubt, quite subordinate to it, Mr. Bowen paid Mr. Hilton a claim of seven thousand dollars, and signed "covenant" with MT. Beecher and Mir. Hilton proclaimng peace. This peace continued and Mir Hilton founded a newspaper. MT. Beecher, through MT. Moul' ton, contributed five thousand dollars to this project. Tsc paper did not succeed, and Mir. Hilton, driven to the wall by his own endorsements, by an unfortunate sym pathy with Mrs. Woodhull's strange, mad iancies, and by the somewhat reckless rheto- ric of Dr. Bacon, turned on MT. Beecher and dragged him b-fore the world as the de- stroyer of bis home, his influence and his fame. The reasons for this opinion are now at least before the world Mir. Beecher stands charged with adultery, perjury and falsehood, upon the evidence of Mir. Hilton, Mr. Moulton and the latter gentleman's wife. It is now for Mr. Beecher to disprove all of these crimes.

STEAMBOAT ApaMs-The Committe on Claims in Congress disposed of the claim of Capt. Samuel Adams for exploring the Colo rado River in short meter. They say ae- cording to Adams showing he started 7O0 feet above the tallest peak in the Rocky Mountains iu boat and descended to a point where he looked and saw the Rio Virgin 500 miles away; he has made no map, determined neither latitude, longitude or altitude; often erring several hundred miles in distance as to places. Indefinite postponement is recommended.

MILITARY CHANGEs.-It will be seen by our dispatches to-day that Gen. Kautz takes Gen. Crooks place in Arizona, Gen. Crook takes Gen. Ord's place on the Platte, Gen. Ord takes Gen. Augur's place in Texas, Gen. Augur takes Gen. Emory's place at New Or leans and Gen. Emory is ordered to Wash ingtou, probably to be placed on the retired list.
 Since General Crook must go away, we are pleased to know that General Kautz succeeds him, instead of sending a stranger to this department. Arizona is a slumbering volcano, so to speak, that is liable to break out into state Of eruption at any moment, and it will require steady hand, and one of experience in such matters, in case of another upheaval, to keep on the high points and from getting scorched by the red hot fire and birthstone that the Apache Devil knows so we'll how to stir up.
 General Kautz has had ample experience in Oregon and elsewhere in conducting h. dian warfare; bis bravery is beyond question and, better than all, he is endorsed by the best authority there is, on that question, be- sides already having had considerable ex- perience in Arizona under General Crook.

ARIZONA RAILROADS.

There has been much talk in and out of Congress of late about railroads in Arizona, and yet so far as we can see, re are as far away from those much needed institutions as if there had been nothing said or printed on the subject. Everybody wants to see Ari- zona connected by rail with the Pacific Ocean and the R. R. system of the Hast, and yet many Congressman who know it can't be done without Government aid, acknowl- edge themselves too cowardly to vote for it for fear demagogue press and political pre- tenders claiming to be in the interest of the people will quote tho record on them as sub sidists in some future political contest. The member of Congress who fears to do right, when he knows what is right, is a cowardly sneak, unfit to represent any body or any thing anywhere. We are not contending for Scott's bill particularly, but on general principles the man who announces himself opposed to subsidies in all cases, whether right or wrong, is slave to some power from which he hopes to get future support and is dangerous to entrust with legislation. The Texas and Pacific road can be of no benefit to Central or Northern Arizona ex- cept to spur up the Southern Pacific and set them to work in prospect of opposi ton. For this reason we desire to see both roads sub- sidized to the extent of rendering it an ob- ject for the Companies to build, otherwise we fear we shall be left behind in the race of development with our more favorably located councillors

FROM WHITE MOUNTAIN RESERVATION William Clark and others have re- gently returned from Camp Apache and bring some more definite information with reference to the reported troubles there.
 A rumor had reached here that the h. dians had driven Agent Roberts away, which appears to be incorrect Mir. Clark informs us that Roberts was preparing to leave for Santa Fe and had turned the Agency over 10 Dr. White with whom the Indians had trouble: and Major Ogleby sent a company of soldiers to quiet them. The reservation was then turned over to another citizen whose name we have not learned, and the employees under Roberts were discharged and requested to leave the Agency grounds.
 Some of the party with which MT. Clark travelled reported having seen Indian sign at Pleasant Valley, and they met prospector who told them there were moccasin tracks in Bradshaw Mountain, which would seem to indicate the presence of stragglers, proba- ply from the band being removed from Verde to San Carlos.
 They found the grass in Tonto Basin from six to ten inches high, and the aroma of flowers assailed their nostrils before they were halfway down the mountain.
 Since our interview with Mir. Clark anoth- CT report comes, it is said, by way of the Verde, that some four hundred of the h. dians under Col. Dudly had run away, but in tracing the rumor to find authority for it VIC have failed to get any confirmation, therefore give it as a rumor. Should it prove true it will be sad commentary on the removal policy, and sadder in its results should these hills and gulches again become filed with prowlng Apaches.

IpLENEss.-It is a mistak to imagine that only the violent passions, such as ambition and love, can triumph over the rest. Idleneks languid as she Is, often masters them ali; she indeed, influences all our designs and actiops, and insensibly consumes and destroys both passion and virtues.
