MAIL TO GREENWOOD WANTED.

One of the greatest wants of the peopl, living in Mohavc county is more mail facil ities. and more especially is this applicabl, Co Greenwood and vicinity. As tis now, mai for that part Of the Territory sent iron Prescott has to go 10 Ehrenberg, thence ul the river to Aubrey, etc. a distance of 30,
 miles, whilst 1t should and could be sup piled by tho way of Kirkland Valley anC old Camp Date Creek, distance from Pres colt not to exceed SJ miles, thus saving 2l; miles in distance, and II would give the five CT six hundred people who live in that poi tion of Mohave county their mail at leaSi six days earlier than by the circuitous route now adopted. The people of the entir, county of Mojave has long been neglected ss regards mail facilities, and some action should be taken by thoso in power st Wash. ington to remedy the evil
 MT Stevens has been in Washington for sometime, and appeal after appeal has been made to him, but he has done us but little good, perhaps on account of lack of infu- ence, or maybe because he feels but little interest for the people on account of the mesgre support given him at the polls ip tha, county.
 If Mr. Mccormick can be induced to take an interest in Mohave county's wants snd exert himself but little, we feel conf dent that De can secure the required increase of malt service needed by q long and ne ylected people. Instead of weekly mai carried on horseback from the Capital of Arizona to the county seat of Mojave county, VIC should have tri-weekly, and it should be conveyed iu some kind of proper vehicle with good stock attached thereto, which would make . trip from here to Mohsve a pleasure rather than one 10 be dreaded.

ARIZONA SCOUTS.

Under this heading the last Ciuzen give. us
 asummary of the valuable services of Com
 pSny A, Arizona Scouts. commanded by
 Captain Clay Buford. The sum and sub
 stance of which Is that they secuted through
 the Whetstone and Dragoon mountains into
 the Chiricahua mountains, where they struck
 trail which had already been found snd
 pursued by the regular scouts. Went into
 Camp Bowie for supplies, and learned
 through information furnished by Lieu
 tenant Henely that the Indians they were were looking for were al the Warm Springs
 They went over 10 the Agency and confirmed
 the fact. They returned and again went scouting. accompanied by Governor Stafford and k. \. Leatherwood, and succeeded in proving that all the Governors statements about the mountains being full of Indians were unfounded They returned, "having put in seventy-seven days of faithful and earnest work, under Captain Buford, than whom there has never been a more success ful guide and Indian hunter in Arizona"
 The whole article Is nothing more than a confession that the Governors scouts, who were going Ia "do as much in three months zs the whole United States army could do in twenty yearS,' have not been even as sue cesSfui as the scouts under the orders of the Department Commander. The Governor has | simply proved that he did not know near so ! much about the Department Commanders ] business as he thought he did, and as he has | proved this upon himself he will ic the | handsome thing by admitting his error, as an honest man would.
 We are happy to learn in the same paper tl.st the insluua;ions, so repeatedly made, that inc Indian scout of ;hc Governors was ! prospecting expedition, Is not true IL no doubt Is great wrong to cast such imputa- ;ions upon such pure and patriotic move neHt as tha, lay which the Governor induced ,hc Legislaturs to appropriate ten thousand the faithful .~Gd honest manner in nh'ch ',i The money has h, cn .peni' and above ''i' The brilliant results tha, bsve been ' 'ehis'ed' and so well set forth by 'ke Cih-

SECRETARY SHERMAN AND THE SILVER
 QUESTION New York, June i2-The eiab-
 crate statement of the policy of compro-
 mise on the silver question simply means
 that while silver remains at ii- present fig
 ure the monetary standard is to continue
 as it k. sherman proposes to coin silver dollar of full value on relative propor-
 lion to gold of sixteen to one. This he pro-
 poses to issue in exchange for legal tenier notes. He expects that fifty millions of notes could be readily redeemed in this way and the process of resumption greatly facili- tsied AS a note would be worth a trife more than dollar. and as majority of the people think a roll of notes more Conycn- len, than that of a pocketiul of silver picc- e, We suspect that sherman is expecting a good deal too much In any case the plan iS double standard only in name. and un- der lt> operation silver could bc brought out iu large quantities only in the event of decided depreciation in the value of legal tenders, or, what is the same thing, sharp ! use in the gold premium It's possibly mis- | chicyous effects are obvious enough, bot it 1 k harmless when compared with the demand | of the silver maniacs who will TOW doubtless ! turn round and abuse the Secretary for fa- { goring their cause only to bctray them

APPROPRIATIONS.

The Citizen, in its efforts 10 bolster UT the juvenile Agent at San Carlos, is con. stantly calling out the proofs to the con- trary of what he claims for his pet. He says that ''it is worthy of note that, with all manner of vile charges against the San Car los management, no one has had the hardi- hood to claim that hostile Indians or their booty have ever been traced 10 that Reserve " The sudacity of this claim is apparent when the fact Is reiterated, that we have repeat edly stated, that the troops in this portion of the Territory have killed nearly one hun dred hostile Indians belonging to that Res vation in the past eighteen months. In De- cember, 1875, Lieut.. Carter traced the h. dians that captured and killed thirteen of Hance's cattle, directly to the San Cribs Reservation. The Indians that killed Hills horses and mules in the Tonto Basin, in January last. were from the San Carlos Res ervation. Nearly every settler in Tonto Basin has something to complain of. and have only curses for Mr. Clum's manage ment of his Indians The only reason that their depredationS are not more numerous, and greater publicity given to the indigna- ton of the settlers in Tonto Bosin is due to the fact that troops have succeeded SO gene rally in pulishing the depredators. The Citizen is not doing MT Cum any good. We think he would fare better with any other people in the Territory than the Tue son Ring, who are really responsible for all of NIT. Gums troubles Wassoa's abuse is preferable to his praise.

GOVERNOR TIl.DEN.

Al the Manhatten reception given in New
 York City to Gov Tilden recently. he mad,
 the following remarks
 "Everybody knows that after the recent election, the men who were elected by inc people as President and Vice President oi | the United States were coun'ed out and
 men who were not elected were counted ID
 and seated. l diSclaim any thought of per
 sonal wrong involved in this transaction Not by any set or word of mine shall that
 be dwarfed or degraded into personal griey-
 ance, which is in truth the greatest wrong that has stained our national annals To
 every man of the four and a quarter mil
 millions who were dctraGdcd of the fruits of
 their elective franchise, it is as great a
 wrong as it is to mo. and no less of every
 man of the minority will the ultimate con
 sequence extend. Evils in government grow
 by success and by impurity. They do not
 arrest their own progress; they can never
 be limited except by extreme forces. If
 men in possession of government can in one
 instance maintain themselves in power
 against an adverse decision at elections.
 such an example vii. be initiated Tcmpta-
 ton exists always; devices to give color of law. and false prctenses on winch to found fraudulent decisions, will not be wanting. The wrong will grow into practice. if con doned. In the worlds history, changes in succession of governments have usually been the result of fraud or force It had been our faith and pride that We had estab- lished mode of peaceful change. to be worked out by the agency of the ballot box. The question is now, whether our elective system in it's substance as we'll as its form Is to be maintained This k the question of questions. It involves the fun rights of the people; il involves ! the elective principle; it involves the whole ! system of popular government. The peo- pie must signally condemn the great wrong | which has been done 10 them. They must strip the example of everything that can at. porous immunity Co crime This is not all. The people will not be able 10 trust the au- -hors or benefciaries of wrong to devise but when those who condemn the wrong shall have the power, they must de- rise measures which shall render rcpeti ion of wrong forever impossible, Ii my 'oice could reach throughout the country. md be heard in its remotest hamlet, would ay: Be good cheer. The republic will i've. The institutions of our fathers are not O expire in shame. The sovereignty of the people shall be rescued from the peril and established. A successful wrong never ppears so triumphantly as on the very eve f its fall. Seven years ago corrupt dv- asty eliminated in its power over the mil , ion of people who live in the city of New {. 'ork. II had conquered or bribed or flat cred and won almost everybody rto acqui. Ssence. It appeared to be inyincible. A I ear or two later its members were in peni entiaiies or exile.
