General Ksuaz ami his OrsanIs.s.

General Kautz evidently runs theat. ricals and organs for his amusement. He has la'ely been diverting himself with the Prescott press organs, and he must immensely enjoy the ready sub ,erviency of the grinders, whatever his opinion may be of their sincerity. Perhaps we can heighten his joy by stating fact of two or which his or gan grinders have not informed hIm. While his organ grind rs have been obeying his wishes if not positive di. rections in laudlpg himself and basely rctiectIng upon Governor Stafford, the late and present proprIetors of the Miner organ have each and all written private letters 10 the Governor, express ing their entire confidence in his in tegrity and great public usefulness; {; that they have tired to prevent their music being so objectionable and diff ferent from their private assurances {; that it should be more pleasant in the future; that they hoped he (Jhe Gov ernor) woulC not be oftended-conyey- ing the idea that they ground music in a PickwickIan sense or in obedience to a powerful master One Tn substance said that the organ he ground was a a Prescotl one and hence its base tone The writers fail to state why, under the peculiar circumstances, they grind such music, or why they make it Tn opposition to their confessed knOwl- edge of it's base quality, and therefore it is fairly presumed the Generals promptlngs must be obeyed, else their disposition To defame true and useful public men and defend fraud and apol- ogize for il, overpoTers their correct judgment Perhaps the General is not at fault for having only such double dealing organists.

THE ARIZONA SCOUTS.
The Reason for their Present Move
 ment, &c.

As soon as it was certainly known that the Indians which raided over Southeastern Arizona in February last, went to the Hot Springs reservation in i New MexIco with their stolen property, It was clear that unless that rendezvous were broken up and these Indians prevented from using thIs reserve as a place of safety and for recruiting. we could not hope for peace or security in southern Arizona. The military authorities claimed 10 be powerless to cure the evil, and as matters stood these Indians would use for all time | the Hot Springs reserve as an asylum after their murdering and robbing ex- | petitions, just as the Chiricahua re- serve was used oy the Chiricahuas when they returned from destructive raids into Sonora. Viewing the matter in this light, and after consulting with some of the very best men in Tucson. 1 Governor Stafford began the effort to break up that retreat. He telcgraphed the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and asked to have the guilty Indians arrested and punished and the stolen property restored to the rightiul owners, and by authority and direction Of the Commissioner, Agent Cum has gone 10 Hot Springs to try and accomplish the work, and almost If not quite of necessity is accompanied by Capt. Beauford and company of Territorial scouts. If together they succeed, a most important advantage will be gam ed in the interest of lasting peace in Arizona, for without this retreat these Apaches could not long exist and depfe- date That It was the essence of wis | dom 10 strike at the root Ot the evil, no faIT and sensible man will doubt, and the islander indulged in by those who never did and never will do an honest days work or pay taxes worth naming. falls harmless upon such men as Estevan Ochoa, Samuel Hughes, Mariana Samaniego, R.

 wood and others who have been the principal advisers and supporters of the Governor Tn getting up and sending this Indian Scout in the field.
 It was understood when this scout was organized, that neither Territorial nor Indian reservation lines should prevent it from following the thievlng and murderIng Indians with their stolen property When it was demon strated that most of the property was taken to Hot Springs reserve, a terrible howl would have been raised by these street corner warriors and dO-nOthings had the scout not pursued them there
 There are three companies of In | dian scouts in the military service. The Department Commander says he cannot cross the lines of the Hot Spring reserve i'll New Mexco; Ter 1 irItorial scouts say they can and will and have gone to do it, and Is it not possible for the Department Comman- der to render a little service, in Ari- z0na, while the Territorial scouts are absent on this most necessary service in the interests of peace in Arizona? {? a service he claims he cannot do. None of these Indians nor any of their stolen property has been traced to an Arizona reservation since the breaking up of the ChiricaEua reserve, but both have been to Hot Springs.
