squaw-Men-

Following is Washington dispatch of October 2S, to The Alta:
 Agent Howard, of the Spotted Tail Agency, has written letter tO the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, com plaining of the squaw-men of his agency. He says the squaw men are leading the Indians, and are the cause of nearly all the trouble that the agents in their dis trict have He asks the Commissioner Co aid him in driving them out of his agency, and to successfully accomplish this he desires to bc authorized to cut off the ratiOns hitherto issued to squaw- men and their families.
 To this the Commissioner replied, giving the Agent the permission he disircd The next question will be whether the Agent can carry out his plan, as the squaw-meu have great influence with the Indians, and have always been very prominent in sll the treaties and councils. Phe Indians have always resented any bad treatment of thB squaw-men as much as they would in regard to themselves. It is highly probably that if Agent Howard cuts off the ratiOns for this class of men, there will be trouble ahead that he cannot control, and that the last state of the Agents troubles with the Indians will be worse than the first
 The Washington news gatherer would not be himself, if he did not misrep- resent or hinder almost every right step by the officials of the Indian Bu reau. Instead of sending out this bit of encouragement to the squaw-men, he could have as easily and possibly to some purpose, accompanied the news with the statement that Agent Howard was right, and so was the Commissioner, and that the whole power of government would, if need be, used to sustain the officers. But that would have been encouraging real reform, q thing the newspaper reformers are mostly hypOcritical about

LETTEI. FROM GOODWIN. DeRth-MRII Matters of
 Four Thousand sheep.

CANT GOODWIN. November 4. 1875. -EDIToR CITIZEN Thomas McWil- lamS long and favorsbly known in Arizona, died sometime during the night of October 25. It is believed he died of heart-disease. He was ap- parently full of life and health on retir- ing for the night but the next morning was found dead-haying died without a struggle, as his eyes were closed as if Tn sleep. He Was a native of Ireland and l understand had no relatives in this country. He was postm4stGy at Camp Goodwin and was an upright citizen.
 Our correspondent points out many specific cases of miscarriage of letters and papers, somewhat after the manner he has heretofore done, and also makes pertinent inquiries as to the existence and whereabouts of the Postal Agent. THE CITIZEN deems it's duty done in this matter at present. If the irregularities continue, we are perfectly willing to join in request for thorough exam ination of business along the whole of the new and old lines connected with it. If 1t be true that mail matter was more certainly received in Pueblo Viejo val ley via the Apache Pass post-office. then indeed is there need of thorough overhauling. It seems a great pity, after all the labor of procuring the new route and service thereon, if it prove to be for carrying mail that belongs to other routes instead of its own. Negli- gence or Carelessness of postmasters Is surely the cause of all the trouble ED. CITIZEN.
 The military mail has been discon- tinued between here and San Carlos and also between Camp Apache and old camp Supply on the Colorado Chi quito. Hereafter all eastern and west ern mail for San Carlos and Apache, will be obliged to pass through Camp GOodwin-ths great mail center of Arizona.
 Some four thousand head of sheep arrived here last Saturday, from Tula- rosa, New Mexico. They were bought by Mr. F.. Ochoa, ofTucson, under con- tract with Agent Cum, for the San Carlos Indians. MT. Ochoa says this large drove made the through trip with a loss of but half q dozen, and are in very good condition.
 Here are allusions to persons which at present are omitted. Probably there will be no further call for anything ofthe sort, and if SO, it were better to say mOrc.-ED. CITIZEN

Railroad progress towards Arizona,

TIE Los Angeles Herald lately said
 The Western Development Compa- ny (which iS the Construction Compa- ny of the Central Pacific railroad l have ordered a large amOunt-a great many thousand tons-Of steel rail to be used on the Southern Pacific road East of the San GorgoniO Pass. The COmpa- ny correctly anticipate that as their road progresses eastward. the demand on its carrying capacity will be very great, and they intend to meet this demand as far as possible by building a first class track. When thirty miles more of road is ready to operate, the trade and travel of all Arizona and Northern Mexico will pass over it."
 The Los Angeles Star of October 2S, says: Captain J. A. Smith, one of the leading field engineers of the Southern Pacific railroad, is in the city and will leave tomorrow for Colton, where his camp and field equipage awaits him, and soon after his arrival to the latter place will start on a surveying expedi- ton across the MOhaye Desert to the Colorado and beyond.

AngOras-

The Santa Rosa Democrat, in speak. ing of flock of Angora goats, says that in the band were five hundred thoroughbred Angoras, that will clip five pounds each, on an average, in February, and the proprietors, Messrs J. W. & F.. l.. Reed, informed us that that they had the Spring clip sold in New York for $130 per pound Messrs Reed purchased the band from E. B. Marsh of San Francisco, and paid $22 900. Mr. Marsh paid $27, 400 for the same band. There are five thoroughbred Asiatic bucks in the band, two of which were presented to a Mr. Chcnnery of this Sta,e by the Sultan of Turkey; also eight thorough bred Cashmere and thirteen AngOras, from the celebrated Alexapder Blue Grass Farm, in Kentucky; also sixty four full-blood nannies, from the same place-making the most celebrated collection of this kind on the Coast, or in the United States, quality and quan tity considered The band comes from Santa Clara county, three miles from San Jose.

SIGNIFCANT.-The following is taken from The San Diego Union. Whether The Union or Press is responsible for the sentiments expressed, seems un- certain, but the significance of them is none the less notable;
 The Philadelphia Press thinks Sena- tor Chandler's appointment as Secreta- " of the Interior has special signifi- canoe, in view of the fact that the new Secretary is in favor of turning over the control of Indian affairs to the War Department IL is now charged in all the newspapers of the land that there has been corruption in the civilian ad- of the Indian agencies. Transfer the charge of these agencies to the military service and we shall have an organized system of fraud whose colossal proportions would cast into the shade the whole history of the past Compared with such an admin istration. the existing management would be pure as the unspotted snow.

THE Sacrqmento Record lately de- clared that it is the intention of the Central Pacific railroad company to establish hotel at Philadelphia for the benefit of the Pacific coast visitors to the Centennial.

ONE of our exchanges says: About ten miles from the mouth of Cataract creek, a tributary Of the Big Colorado, Tn Arizona, is the Sapia Indian village, numbering 300 persons, who have language of their own, and are very thrifty farmers, keeping some 200 acres of land under cultivation. They do not associate with other Indians, and, never having been consigned to a reservation, they are singularlv free from the laziness and dissipation of the modern red man
