Dooner and no particu- lar friend of the Governor, writes at Los Angeles to the Enterprise :. The affairs that agitate Arizona from time to time, are often re- garded with deep interest by many public-spirited persons here. and, asa rule, position IS sought to be understood before being pro- nounced upon. But some things are not capable of being under stood in the light of experience, and among these latter is the championship of the Apache h. dian by influential circles in Northern Arizona. Governor Saf- ford's position seems so well sus- tained by every little of evidence received here, some of which l personally know 10 be of high order of authenticity, that there is but one opinion with us on the subject of his late controversy, and that is that he has been insulted and misrepresented in his con- scientious efforts for the good of his people.
 1 THE GOVERNOR ENDORSED.
 CRITTENDEN, April 23, 1877. Gov. SAFFORD, Tucson, A. T.,
 DEAR SIR: Il see by the Star of Tucson, that you are being abused on all sides by them ill regard to this Indian business. Now for the facts:
 We in this part of the country, have been depredated upon more than any people in other portions of the Territory, and for my part, 1 think it would be wrong 10 not tell you what my impression and feeling are in regard to this mat ter. From the start, eight years ago and until the present day, the only true and constant friend we have ever had, has been yourself. During all our troubles, you have stood by us through thick aud thin, which is more than can be said of any other single person in Arizona.
 There is not one man on the Southern border to-day, but what upholds you in your recent course about this Indian matter, as we all know that every statement you have made about this Indian business, is true; and the course of the ArIzona iStGg' is and must be caused by the very basest motives. And for my part l have not seen one soldier, citizen or officer but what upholds your letter in an SWer to Gen. KautZ.
 Very Respectfully,
 THOMAS HUGHES.
 P. s. You will have thousands of friends in Arizona, when your enemies are or ought to be in the penitentiary. T. H.
