CLUM's INDIANS.

IL will be remembered that NC. some days ago, published an item in relation to some Indians coming up from San Carlos and killing an Indian and Stanley's horse, near Camp Apache, and that We regarded the matter, as did the officers at Camp Apache. as murder, and commented on it according ly. Our surprise can he appreciated when, in looking over Mr. Gums "prclude" where in he "once more stoops to combat" we find his official order for this very transaction. In its preamble this order Eecites that Mari iildo Grigalva and his party are sent out to capture the muIdeTeTs of an old Indian vo- man and a number Of other Indians who arc without doubt in the vicinity of Camp Apache without permission of his office, and he Is ordered to bring the muTderers and such other insubordil ate Indians as he may find In the vicinity of Camp Apache to his Agency al San Carlos. and if they resist. he is ordered to kill them on the spot. Mir Cum concludes his ''prelude" by promise to make known the result.
 We are at q loss 10 understand why Mir. Cum did not apply to o;hecommsDdingo officer of Camp Apache to make the arres, of the murderers and require the troops to go after the rcnegades. We suspec; that this is not all SD proper as MT. Gum tries ,o make out. IL will be remembered tina; in the removal of the White Mountain Apaches, Old Pedro and one or two petty chiefs declined to lnove. and have ever since remained at Camp Apache, subsisting themselves and asking no aid from the Government. This has not been very agreeable 10 Mr. Cum, Pedro is doing a very bad thing when he shows that Indians can take Care of themselves without an Agent. It looks little suspicious that when Pedro's young men are away with Major Worth scouting after Chiricahua rene gades that NIT. Cum should send his Indian Police force up 10 Camp Apache who ambu scade the first Indian they meet and then rush back to San Carlos again. IL looks more like an attempt to make old Pedro come to the hot yalleysof San Carlos.
 Old Pedro has recently applied to the De partment Commander to know what Is nee essarv to enable him 10 become 4 citizen. He wants to break his tribal relations and live like 8 white man. The Department Commander replied that inc lith amendment to the constitution declares him citizen and he has only to obey tue laws and claim his rights under the 18th amendment. Ii old Pedro should act on this, 1t will bc rev oIutionary in the face of the present Indian policy, and VIC don't think IL vii. be tolerated ilv the Indian Bureau fer moment. How preposterous for an Indian to presume 10 at tend 10 his own business, and subsist himself without an Agent to help him draw his ra- siors

APACHE MoIAyE INDIANS.

Mr. Dan O'Leary one of the best posted men in regard to Indian affairs in this sec ton Of the Territory and who has the conf dence of the Hualapai Indians, gave us the information which Ne published fewweeks since in regard 10 the Apache MojaveS being of their reservation, the San Carlos, and ss liyIng in the vicinity of the Santa Maria. We were satisfied that his statements were strictly true, knowing Dan as we do, and that when he gives important facts that he has satisfied himself as to their correctnes. Since we published the fact that il was our belief that many Apache Mojave Indians were of their reservation, Governor Stafford has been 10 Mojave county Tn buggy fol- lowing the main travelled road from Wick enburg t0 Greenwood and did cross the Santa Maria at one place going 10 the aforesaid town of Greenwood and did not see any Apache Mgiave Indians. This news has been telegraphed far and wide 10 the effect that the Governor had made an examination and inquired into the matter and found that no Apache Indians were living in the Santa Maria country, thus completely leav- ing the MINER in the lie as we'll KS our in formant
 Now as 8 matter of pride on our part, to show 10 the world and all concerned, that we were correct, we have taken pains 10 in- quire into all the facts and ascertain, correct ly. the exact locality of these Indians. etc. That Gov. Stafford made inquiries about these Indians. we have no doubt. and tha. he re- ccived information 10 the effect that there were no Indians in the vicinity of Green wood or the McCrackin mine. where he went to examine some mine or minss in which he is interested, we have no donbt, and believe the Governor was sanguine in the belief that no Indians were in that country, still we think the Governor was mistaken. Mfr 0Teary WAS. at the time. Governor Stafford was visiting the McCrackin mine, six miles above and could have given him information ss to the exact locality of the Apache Mo- jaye Indians who are living on Sycamore creek branch of tho Santa Maria. Whilst few are in the Hacquajela. JTacquajs and White Tank mountains and belong to Huachacamas band. Again we arc informed ar Sir. oLeary that about thirty renegades from the San Carlos are living on the head waters of the Verde in the breaks of the Bill Williams mountain and arc under X chief calleI Didhala. We have thought ko ~tfS iucH- ton of these facts. That the Apache Aojaves arc some of them absent from the San Carlos reservation, there can he no doubt and had the Governor visited the mountain. and pla- ces above narrated we think he would have found Indians. but as his was s business trip and as he did not travel of the main wagon road. certainly could not have expected 10 6nd the Indians he was in search of.
 These Indians are all we'll disposed and claim that they wish 10 live in this portion of the Territory, and are anxious to become citizens. They know that they have no right in thi. section and virtually belong to NIT. Gums Agency. They are living in the most secluded manner and in the toughest, most inaccessible canyons where they have but little 10 fear from the whites.

SOUTHERN AFFAIRS.

Evarts, Schurz and Key are reported to favor the immediate withdrawal of troops from Louisiana and South Carolina, but the full Cabinet have decided to wait until mat ;ers arc investigated. The President sppoin- ted Vice President Wheeler and Senator David Davis of Illinois, to go to Louisiana on this business. but they both declined. It i. hard to catch cunning old rats in trap with thin bait, and the Nice-PreSident and Senator Davis have seen too much in their day to risk a good reputation where there IS nothing to be gained and they may incur the displeasure of people whose votes might come handy in future Presidential election.
 President Hayes has expressed himself very emphSticaily, in terms of great charity tow ards the South, but is equally firm III his determination that there .hali be law and order in that section, and to that end h4vors retaining troops there until the Com mission returns and reports, and Will main tain President Grants last order with ref- erence to sfql,s qHa, until fixed policy shall have becr agreed upon.

c. F.. Cooley, one of the old pioneers in the Eastern portion of this Territory. who owns s farm in the vicinity of Camp Apache arrived from his home this morning Mir. COoley's experience is varied in regard Ia matters in his section of country and reports that less rain and snow has fallen in the eastern section of the Territory this winter than ever heretofore known. The oldest Indians living in that country cannot reCol- lect inter in which SD little snow or rain has fallen. Mir Cooley has plenty of water for irrigating purposes, as has many of hi. neighbors, but entertains fears that the Mor mon settlements will suffer for want of water. IL is his opinion that the Little Colo rado will, unless more rain falls soon, Cn dry and leave them without water with which to irrigate the large fields of wheat and b rley that they have sown this winter.
 NIT. Cooley represents the Mormon set tiers as very industrious, quiet class of people. and thinks the acquisition of these people to our Territory good one. They have built extensively, taken out large irrigating ditches, made substantial dams in the river, and everything looks we'll and will terminate satisfactorily should more rainfall. And the indications are good for it just now.
