nfupositon was made some months age
to create the Territory of Oklahoma out Of
the Indian Territory and open 1t up TO settle
fnent by white men. tt was stated ut the time
that quite a number of the Indians were in
favor of this plan. On the other hand. 1T was
urged that this change was impossible,
a treaty with the Choctaws and Chick
asaws binding tho United States not to
open their lands to settlement without
the consent of majority Of the
Indian voters of the Territory. It seems,
however that despite the provisions of this
treaty, the Committee on Territories will re-
port Id favor of the Oklahoma bill. Quite n
number OF leading residents of the Territory,
among them Mr.. L. G. Boudenot, a Cherokee
chief. declares that a state of anarchy now
exists In She Territory, and that property and
life particularly of citizens OF tho United
States, tHe unsafe The chairman of the COM
mittee holds that, while treaties should be re-
spected 1t Is the duty Of the government
treaty 1r no treaty, to put an end to the anar-
chy ane insurrection existing within its limits
by any means IN its power
Therl seems to be no doubt that the bill
will b,s reported on favorably. and press ed
energetically and earnestly in Congress. A
delegation of Choctaws and Chiehtsaws are
In Washington opposing Its passage. Per
coatra 1t is said that while the chiefs are OPP
posed to the measure, the majority OF tho
Indians favor it, and that, II the matter were
submitted TO a popular vote, the territory
would tomorrow be thrown open to white
settlement; and that the principal objections
made to this plan are gotten up by white men,
spectators and others, who desire to furnish
the Indians with supplies.

The Sale River Herald.

We had thought that since the man. ager of the Salt River Herald had told q lie he would consider it virtue to stick to it, but to our surprise the silly puppy states in his last issue that his stupid falsehood was only intended as a joke" A joke is one thing and a plain unqualified statement is quite another, yet the muddle brain mana ger of the Herald cannot perceive the distinction. We enjoy racy bout of words with man, but to contend with a fool is alike disgusting to us and to our readers. The extracts we quote on our first page show in what profound contempt this baby manager McClin tock of the Herald is held by the Ter ritorial press and by some of the peo- pie in his own town. The Miner, his foster parent. cuts deepest. We think that his falsehood and confession to. gether with several other equally stu. pid acts have convinced the people generally that Manager c. E. McClin- tock is an imposition which the peO- pie of the Salt River can lilly afford to endure much longer.

Desperate Renegade Indians.

Now comes the Miner of May 3lst and says:
 The command sent out 10 lnves- tigate the Indian scare at Wioken berg, a few days since, have return ed. The Indians were found near Smiths mill, below Wickenourg. and proved 10 be from San Carlos They were seventeen in number, and gave as an excuse for leaving their reservation, that the smallpox was spreading al the Agency, and they had Jeff to es- cape it's ravages. Two soldiers were sent from Wickenberg to the Indian camp, and made the arrest of the seventeen noble braves, who were sub sequently taken in charge by Captain Porter and his command from Camp Verde, who will safely conduct them back to the San Carlos Reservation and Government rations.
 So these really were renegades at Wickenburs And from San Carlos, too Seventeen eagle-eyed, ebon lock ed, red-handed williams; we'll armed and bent on blood and rapine! And yet TWO private soldiers succeeded in arresting these seventeen desperate Apaches without loss or injury on either side. What wonder all Wick enburg was alarmeds What savage, desperate lot they must have been Such another victory is not known in the annals of Apache warfare. We re- member an instance about two years ago when half a dozen Indians at tackled Camp Apache, and successfully evaded five companies of troops which were turned out to arrest them. A lit tie later less than six renegades de feated Lieut.. West and his company at Apache Pass, but for two soldiers 10 capture seventeen renegates is without precident. Had the Miner stated that two Indians had captured seventeen soldiers there would have been reason in it, but the other way beats us. This is a remarkable incident in favor of the transfer of the Indians to the War Department, and it also establishes the efficiency of the army. At the above rate 2000 men would be sufficient for our standing army. Telegraph this to Congress.
 We don't wish to be considered fictitious in OUT remarks. We would not make light of citizens in real danger, nor ridicule the honest efforts of the military, but we stated last week that "false Indian alarms are in- furious" and we repeat the assertion. We have aided in the punishment of many an unruly Apache, and will gladly do so again when necessary, but this thing of alarming the Ter ritory about "desperate reneg gades, '' and creating fear and distrust abroad is detrimental and wrong, and we don't wish to be a party to any such busi. ness.

Picket Post.

About thirty miles northeast from the town of Florence is situated the fourishing village of Picket Post. Some years ago, in Indian times, when General Stoneman was in command of the military forces in this section of Arizona, he had his headquarters at Pinal ranch, and established an out post on Queens creek, where is located the mill of the famous Silver King mine. It was not known in those times what a vast mine of mineral wealth slumbered beneath the ground for which the military authorities and the Indians disputed, and only few years have passed since prospectors drew attention to the fact that the Pinal mountains were indeed a treasure house. There are those who verily be- lieve that the Silver King is the richest silver mine in the world, while others do not esteem it more valuable than the Peck or Mccormick mine. About fifteen tons of ore per day IS con- in the mill at this place, which has five-stamps and rumor says that the company clear S50,00O per month. No work has been done on the mine for some time, as there is sufficient on the dump to supply the mill for a year. The capacity of the mill will be doubled A reliable San Francisco corporation has ma chinery on the ground near Picket Post for custom stamp mill, and are delayed in their operations on account of the difficulty of procuring lumber from Prescott. The corporation is known as the Pinal mill and Mining Company, but is in no manner related to or connected with the smelling out fit of that name which victimized some of the Yavapai people and left an en- during monument of its folly. Hun dreds of locations have been made in this pioneer district, and rich dis coveries are constantly reported, but the development of mines is by no means rapid, owing 10 slow, uncertain and expensive transportation; the ex- pense of living, and lumber at S150 per thousand. The miners in these mountains arc hopeful, genial, cheer ful set of men. having neither poverty nor riches, but an abundance of faith NJ. and s. Press.

Hon. H. $. Stevens.

In the proper column will be found the announcement of Hon. H. s. Ste vens as The Peoples Candidate for Congress in the coming contests. We think his title is well chosen, for the impartial manner in which he has dis charged his duty toward all sections of the Territory has made him emphatic. ally the peoples representative. Dur ing his four years in Congress Mr. Ste vens has grown in the confidence of the people here, and in power at Wash. ington. His experience and present knowledge of Congressional matters and ways are no mean considerations in his favor These must not 3e for gotten by the people. The other can didates are not without virtues, but Mir. Stevens has been tried and has done well. Better send him again.

DELEGATE STEVENS writes May 24, that he had taken steps to prevent the I,dssage of the outrageous divorce bill, without proper amendment, which passed the Senate and has been refer red to in THE CITIZEN. It will be re- membered that it very properly cloth ed the district courts in all the Terri. tories but Arizona, with exclusive jur- isdiction, but very improperly and un- precedently invested the supreme court of Arizona with exclusive original iur- isdiction in all cases of divorce. Del egate Stevens says he promptly arrang- cd with the House Judiciary Commit tee to put Arizona on the same footing ss other Territories. He says it is doubtful if the bill passes at all, but if il does it will be amended as stated

WASHINGTON, May 29-The Presi- dent has nominated Crowley o. Drake, of Michigan, United States Marshal for Arizona.
 Congress Adjourns June IT.
 WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the House today the resolution for final adjourn ment to take place on the 17th of June was adopted. This action was pro cured by combination of a compara- lively small number of Democrats with the Republicans, voting solidly to ef- feet two purposes: First, to discourage the Potter movement against the Presi- dential title and it's attendant agita- tions; and secondly, to secure the de- feat of the Tariff bill. The Repub- licans were also influenced by desire to place the control of the question of adjournment in the hands of the Senate, which is now accomplished, and would also have been effected by simple concurrence in the proposition for adjournment on June 10, as the House would have been compelled to ask the consent of the Senate for the necessary extension beyond that time.
 Decoration Day.
 WASHINGTON, May 30.-DecoratiOn day was generally observed here as a holiday. A national salute was fired this morning. There were services al the Congressional Cemetery, Soldiers Home and Arlington. All soldiers graves were decorated.
 President Hayes, Secretary McCrary, Attorney General Devens, Gen. Butler, orator of the day, and twenty-nine oth- CT members of Congress have gone to Gettysburg to attend the ceremonies of decoration day.
 PTTTsBURG, May 30.-The annual tribute to the national dead at Gsttys- burg was paid under circumstances of the greatest interest. Not since Presi- dent Lincoln dedicated the cemetery has it been graced by so many distin- guished citizens.
 The President Defiant. WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Presi- dent today said he did not desire to deny the truth of the statement attrib- uted to him that if any attempt was made to displace him from the PresI- dential chair he would maintain him self, and at all hazards keep matters in statu quo, until hIs successor is cleo ted according to the forms of law.
 Lock on the Army Bill.
 WASHINGTON, June 4-The indica- tions are that the Senate Military Con- mittee will report against army reduc- iion. The Republicans will also unan imOusly oppose in the Army bill the prohibition of the use of the army as a posse comltatus. There is danger of a deadlock between the two Houses on these provisions.
 Tremendous Wind storm.
 ST. LOUIS, June IA tremendous wind-storm passed over Gardner, Hi. nois, yesterday afternoon, doing a large amount of damage in demolishing dwellings, barns and out-buildings. At St. James considerable damage was also done, An iron bridge crossing a stream near by was struck and con- siderable portion of it carried away A number of houses in the course of the storm were badly damaged.
