WHERE THE SHOE rrNCuEs.

' following.
 When the Governor signed sn inIquitous Prescott bill, the MINER went off in sick enining laudation of him, declaring that no power or wealth could induce him 10 do wrong; but now that the Governor takes necessary and successful action in behalf of ,ettlers who are being killed, wounded and robbed. then he is all wrong and gets the Prescott MINERS msledictions. He has we'll lown courage to do what he believes to aa right and does it, and it is some consols- lihn to know that not often does he get the MYERS approval.
 Any statement that this people have asked fr. troops for any purpose other than to do 5le very acts intended by the Government "t he United States, is purely and, in the ires,nt instance, infamously and vilfully false
 Thc MINER has always tried to he fair and give officials, whether Civil or Military, 'la~ credit for all just acts, and as we bought the Governor had done bis duty in igning the bill, removing the Capital to Pr, scott, we were not 10th to accredit to him the merit which reslly was due him, but whe an we behold him trying to throw stig- ms upon our efficient Department Com u,snder, rob our people of ten thousand dol lars for the purpose of swelling the pockets of few, VIC arc equally anxious to give hiln the credit of trying to do great wrong. s II, we do not blame the Little Governor" zs much as we do some others who arc ling him on to do what he feels, in his Uones, to be wrong and unjust. We pre- ,Ime the worthy editor of the Citizen had a inkling of . little game that was going n in Washington, whereby his pocket ehange would be cut of, and was preparing,
 trough Safford and othas, whom the Pima County people decieved, another scheme to raise sl0,000 to partly replace that which he thought lost The editor is safe; Stafford has concluded to hire 90 Indians from the San Carlos Reservation, Wssson is to be Pay master and Cum is to make out the muster rolls. S,fford, of course, is to be in Conl- mand; Wasson is saved from dismissal SC Surveyor General, through the brains of the man who run, Arizona at Washington, Mir. Mccormick. There will be plenty of funds in the Treasury at Tucson, now that the editor of the Citizen has gained his point. Exaggerated accounts of the mur- der of citizens of Pima County, are sent us. manufactured by schemers who live in Tucson. Twenty men are reported mur- dered in one town, when really only two men have kcen killed, aud whether by h. dians, still remains to be proven. Trains are reported to have been captured, when not s single animal has been lost. Complaints have been made that the Military refused protection to the people of Pima County and all Sonora, when the truth of the matter is that Lieut. Rucker was in the field at the very time these falsehoods were being man ufacturcd and herslded throughout the Coun- fy. News reached the Department Com mander that Indians were committing dsp- relations in the southern part of the Terri tory, and he immediately telegraphed the Commander st Camp Lowell 10 send outa scouting party. Lieut.. Hannah was ordered nut with II men. The Citizen had tn. lagnaniInity to accretiit him ss having gone
  al and determination to do all that was ne- ,essary, ordered Maj. Worth with a company % soldiers from Camp Apache to take the
 Id Still the cry comes forth from the mortal Wasson, Stafford, Cum & Co, that a, General is useless, incompetent, etc. N1w the real trouble lies right here, General E 71tz can't be used, and that's what's the ma ter" It was reported to the Command 1 e of the Department of Arizona by MT.
 m that thiee Indian men and three h. | a.an women were absent from the rcservs- rign and that they had gone in the direction l af Inc Four Peaks, fifty niles east of Camp | fIcOowell. Major Brayton and company of soldiers and scouts were immediately | .sl out to intercept this half dozen Indians ,vio were missing, and did not answer the dad y roll call at the Agency. Our readers gr remember with what success Major Layton did his work. The six Indians who | dad not receive their weekly rations of So- uo beef and flour issued to them in lit- |. in cup, manufactured in Tucson for that ;ial purpose, turned out to be thirty ei- 1t, eighteen of whom were killed and the aiming twenty captured. Two hundred Indians or whereabouts have been killed sincc the present Department Commander h=- had charge of the department and still ,hc cry is incompetency, when the truth is hss troops are almost invariably put on the go through news received st Headquar- .ers from Military officers prior to any mo- tirc received from the Executive.
