INDIANS OR OCTLAw ws '

<. For several days past reports have been coming in of Indians having been seen in the Dragoons just north of the city. While considerable doubt exists as to whether they were Indians or robbers disguised as such, the fact exists that several robberies have been committed in and adjacent to these mountains within the past fortnight, and the doubt that exists should be at once cleared up. Either a deputy sheriff, with a picked posse, should go out, or troop of cavalry from Camp Huachuca, and that at once. If Lieutenant Bailey with a few of his scouts would trail these mountains It would at once give se- curity to the ranchers and miners Tn that sectioI, and might reveal, what is not at all impossible, that in order to prolong their field of operations, some of the white banditti that have been riding high-handed over the law have resorted to the moccasir and blanket to disguise their true character. Prompt action should be
 taken,

The Proposed Treaty with Mexico.

MT. Wilson, in the house. has in- troduced the following joint resolu- tion:
 Whereas, It is the desire and wish of the government and people of the United States of America to main- tain the most amicable relations with the republic of Mexico, as exemplified and set forth by the twenty first and twenty-second articles of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, of February second, eighteen hundred and forty elght, and reailirlned by article seven Of the Gadsden treaty, of December thirtieth, eighteen hundred and fifty three; and
 Whereas, It is believed to be mani festly to the interests of the peoples of both governments to extend and increase, by all proper means, the exchange of products, and to facili- tate and foster the most liberal com mercial relations between the two governments; and
 Whereas, Many citizens of the United States have invested their capital, and others are desirous of in- vesting, in the republic of Mexico, in mining, the construction of railroads, banking, farming, stock-raising and merchandising, and in other enter prises, and in this view, with the pur- pose of increasing said investments, which are believed to be nut sally beneficial to the peoples of both governments, treaty is deemed necessary, and
 Whereas, The territory known as the "F'ree Zone," on the Mexican border, has been the source from which violations of treaty stipula- tions, avoidance of tariff duties, and other irregularities have proceeded, and to maintain proper commercial and friendly relations between the two countries, this Free Zone, or "Zona Libre," should be abolished; and
 Whereas, The present extradition treaty betwc en the two countries has proved inadequate for the purposes for which it was made and entered into, with view to the prompt rem dition and punishment of fugitives from justice, furth r and more strin- gent treaty stipulations in this regard are necessary; and
 Whereas, Citizens of either gov ernment residing in the other should be exempted from forced loans and illegal and onorous taxations or exac- tions; therefore be it
 Resolved, By the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assem- bled, that the president of the United States be, and he is hereby, requested to open diplomatic correspondence with the government of the republic of Mexico, with the view to sRturinto 'rl't further treaty negotiations with said government, for purposes indicated in the foregoing preambles; and that if, in his opinion, this object can be best accomplished by the appoint ment of one or more commissioners not to exceed three, ti.st he be re- quested to make such appointment; and the compensation of each of such commissioners so appointed shall not exceed five thousand dollars, in addi' tion to necessary expenses, to be allowed by the secretary of state.
