the manner Of their. government.
 He said:
 Tine general Government had from
 time to time granted to some of the
 Territories large portions of the pu-
 blic domain within their boundaries
 and appropriated large sums of mo-
 mey out of the United States Treasu-
 ry for the purpose of building up,
 supporting and maintaining schools,
 colleges, in sane assylums, hints as
 say offices and public building, for
 other purposes and also large sums
 for the improvement of the navigable
 waters of the whole country, whether
 in the States or Territories. Millions
 of dollars have been annually appro priated for the latter purposes. Ari-
 zona seems to have been forgotten,
 overlooked in nearly all these res
 pect. It seemed to him that this
 might be obviated by the Delegate
 from this Territory in Congress. Ari-
 zona will soon seek to be organized
 and admitted as State, after which
 it will be too late for her to seek
 her patrimony, to which she
 is entitled in her Territorial con-
 dition as ward of the Nation.
 If she fails to demand and receive
 her patrimony from the hands of her
 parent-the Government of the
 InitG1DStates-who is and always
 has been ready and willing to be-
 stow upon her all of her just dowry
 undIminished. as she has done by
 nearly all the other Territories.-
 if thIs Territory shall neglect
 to make the demand and actually received her dowry while in her Territorial condition and thereby occupying status eniitling her to make the demand, she will forever be debarred from those great beEe- fits. Her claim will be lost; and her people will have to tax themselves to raise sufficient revenue to take the place of the several millions ot dollars of which she is the rightful heir and which she could have ob- tained, simply by properly applying for it in the proper time. It Is her right; but like it is in all cases where a right exists, it must be as- serted, and asserted within the pro- s% 1R avail.-
 The Speaker touched upon the h. dian question, saying that it was not understood in Washington, nor gen. orally in the East in so far as Arizo- na is concerned. The Indian Ques- tion in Arizona is peculiar. There were several tribes differing from each other in their nature, habits, usages and and character as much as any different races of men differ throughout the world. The Apache IS the designation of a tribe, or rather a race, of Indians composing many tribes, who are by nature mur- derers, robbers and thieves whose children nre taught from their esrli- est moments all sorts of :ruelty, rob- bery and crimes and to become fam iliar with the mountain passes and fa5tnesses, where they can skulk and pass unmolcsted from one part of the Territory to another in their W ork of blood and devastation. On | the other hand there are peaceable | tribes of Indians who afford not only | protection to the whites, but are | absolutely benefit 10 the Territory. If the murderous Apache, and their number is not large, were removed | from our midst and taken away where he could no longer break away from ihe!r reservation and strike terror thrt ughout the portion of the Territory especially adjacent to the San Carlos reservation, it would be a great benefit to the whole Territory, for people abroad who read in the public press ac- counts of the depreGItions of the h. dians in any part of thIs Territory are thereby led to believe that every part of the Territory is unsafe and the fear of Indians will prevent peo- pie from comig to any part of the Territory. It keeps out capital; It retards immigration it prevents the of our mines; it pre- vents the sale and keeps down the values of all kinds of property in the Territory. These murderous h. dians might all be removed entirely beyond the limits of the Territory and kept away at less expense than they can be kept here and the Terri tory would be largely the gainer. If understood ia Washington, the speaker believed, this trouble some Indian question would be solved in very short time. If he should go to Congress he would try to have the government understand the situation and finally solve this problem.
 Some of the passages in Judge Porter's speech were most wonderful n theIr power, brilliancy and ele- yance, and during it's entire delivery he audience seemed to be almost in their attention, and at he conclusion, and after the ap- olause had subsided, Hon. A. E. Davis, candidate for Superindcnt of Public Instruction, was loudly called 'cr, and made lengthy speech.
 We are sorry we cannot give the Alta Arizona's report in full and re- ,ret that it is necessary to omit the peech of Hon. A. E. Davis, which
