RESERVATION INDIANS AND THE GOVERNOR

General hautz informs us that he docs not
 intend to make any response 10 what was
 foreshadowed as the Governors exhaustive
 reply" for fhc reason that the subject of con-
 trovery between himself and the Governor
 Is practically dead issue. The late scouts
 have demonstrated that the Indians who
 committed the recent depredationS. in the
 South Eastern portion of ,he Territory, have
 taken themselves and their spells back 10 the
 Warm Spring Reservation from whence they
 came. The evidence of the Acting Agen;
 DT. Whitney zoe. to show that two hundred
 and fifty lpdiaHs came from the Chiricahua
 Agency 10 the Warm Springs |; she time of
 the removal. That q large portion of them
 left again soon after and this is no doubt the
 time that the Governor refers to when Geroni-
 mo and the white man Streeter wanted 10
 make peace with the Governor of Sonora The recent testimony of Lieu:. Henley, who "saw Geronimo, (wha seems now to be re- cOgnized as the chief of those who declined ;o move to San Cartos.I at the Warm Spring ReseTyatioR on tine lGth inst. and that he had just returned from raid, with one hundred ho. Ses. and was very indignant that he could Dot draw ratious for the time he was out" settles the question where Geroui- mo went from the Chiricahua, and what place he now regards as his home. When the Governors scouts use up the ten thousand dollar appropriation without finding an Indian he will understand. why the numerous other scouts have failed to find th''u Be- sides the Governor is .-T, 'l .ae ri-i' track he is after .h,c .t.

T,ia3,1s,EnoT could not have msde ti.e G.dnder ct charging tho General with saying that the Governor came to Prescott to get him 10 put through the appropriation of fifty thousand dollars. The General stated just what the Governor has stated, that he came 10 Prescott to get him 10 put through the removal of the Chiricahuas. Nor would the Governor have selected Major Whistles as typical Indian scout. for he knows that the General holds his application for the Cavalry at Camp Lowell to be sent up the Santa Cruz Valley to give security to | the settlers until she Indian scouts from | Verde and Apache should arrive, and that | was Major Whistles duty: he wasi not | rquiped for the pursuit of Indians This WAS no more an Indian scout than what the ! present force under tbe same officer Is now ioing near Camp Waiien, to wit :--picketing md pafrolline the border for the protection | 'f the Governors sheep herGers and others ,ear the Sonora line
