To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN;
/ am glad to see in Wednesday morn
ing's REPUBLICAN some sound sense in regard to
Sergeant Mason's unsoldierylike action. If the
tide Of popular feeling becomes so strong that IL
applauds the attempt OF soldier to kill prisoner
whom he is ordered to guard no matter how
henous the prisoners oiIcnso may have been,
then the people are ripe for anarchy and insurrec
ton and on the brink of relapsing into
u state Of barbarism. Should the military
part of our Government to any extent share
the foolish ideas OF some ignorant Government
clerks, such sancioning MasOn's brave D action,
or even promoting him for his tomfoofery, then
the American soldier would cease to be soldier
would be looked upon by the rest of the civilized
world rs u mere puppet who handles sword and
drum aud fife only as dangerous toys. The In
dians butcher and scalp their prisoners, tbe Zuus
eat them brOiled on toast; but does our great Ma
ton bear any comparison with either Indians or
Zulus2 let 1t not be understood that the writer Of
this sympathizes the least with Guiteau, but, on
the contrary, takes the most lively interest In the
welfare of the President, NJ,

Referring TO the demand among news
paper readers for all the gossip concerning Gui-

N OF surprised, therefore, TO find the Associated
Press reporting him on the occasion Of some re-
cent exercise at the jail as rnthershort inthelegs
We cannot find cause for congrntulaton in this
circumstance. We have in our minds eye n scene
in W hich Mr.. Guiteau viii act The principal part
aud in which man who Is rather short In the
legs will cost the United States the price of twelve
inches Of the best Kind Of hemp rope In addition
to what would suffice for man who was rather
long in the legs The shortness of Mr, Guiteau's
legs, under the circumstances, is not in the interest
of economy and reform"

The AIexandrin Conventions.

TO ITIV TIIIIUT OF IIF IFPVILIVAN1
sec it stated that the two conventions
at Alexandria did not agree, and that Rcadjuser
was chosen by one and Straghtout by the other.
Such a report is incorrect. Both conventions
were composed Of ReadJusters, and both of the
gentlemen nominated declared openly for the Re.
adjusier cause. There seemed to have been some
misunderstanding rs to the manner Of electing
delegates 70 the late Lynchburg convention, and
the existence of two Republican committees Is
the result They were unwisely, L think,
held too closely to formalities where oil favored
the same common object, the cause OF the people
aud their liberties. We will he able intellgbly
to bridge over the difficulties and move on har-
moniously together. J. B. SYPHAX.

Tn the Apachc Country.

Says an Arizona dispatch of the 18th
"The total number Of soldiers operating
against the Apaches in this division is
$50, exclusive of Indian scouts. A close
approximation to the number of 'hostiles
Is AGO." In addition TO the "hostiles"
are the friendly C) Indians on the reser-
walton. Agent Tiffany does not appear to
have the confidence of whites or Indians,
although the Indians appear to have en-
ioyed his up to within few days. On the
18th he telcgraphed urgently to. General
Wilcox for troops, being at last convinced
OF the restiveness of the Indians in his
charge. The Indians are at war with
our Government, and must be met with
war. The White Mountain Indians and
the Apaches are believed by old settlers
and miners to be too friendly for the
safety of the whites. Indeed, tits too omuch
to expect.that one tribe can look on in,
differently while another tribe is engage
in conflict with our race. BlefJod

and in the custom house he lnstspring endoavorcd
to have the husband of his wifes cousin made
postmaster at Fayetteville, Ark, but foiled by
Scnat.r Walker, who informed the Senate Post
Ofice Committee that the aforesaid wifc's cousins
husband was II worthless vagabond, utterly un-
worthy of any trust orcorndeucc whatsoever. This
episode seems TO have taught James that his safest
way OF pcnsionlng his relatives, and his wiies
relatives, and his wifcs relatives relatives by
marriage upon the Government Is to smugge
them into clerkships not requiring the advice and
consent of the Scnate-ENning critic.
Mr.. James has appointed alarge number
of Bourbon Democrats in the Post-Of
Department since he was sworn in, to the
exclusion of Union soldiers. Upward of
three hundred Democrats are in the New
York post-oflice, placed there by Mr..
James when he was postmaster of that
city. He pays no attention whatever to
section 1854 of the Revised Statutes ofthe
United States. The soldiers of the coun-
try will be heard from on this subject at
