THE people of Arizona" says the Courier, "have to thank the Republican party for very little. The Territory was organized and officered by the Re- pubicans. From the first start our people had pay direct taxes to the federal government. We were then told that the proceeds of internal reye- nue taxes would be set apart for the benefit of the Territory, that with it publc buildings would be erected" which promise, 1t claims, was not kept.
 We should like to learn from the Courier, who made such promises, and by what authority the promises were made. Does the Courier not know that the internal revenue law was general law and applied alike to all sections of the country, and that the only way Ari- zona could have been exempt from the payment of special taxes would have been by an act of Congress? Does It not also know that the only way money can be drawn out of the United States Treasury for any purpose Is by law of Congress? The Courier knows this to be true. The editor of that journal is possessed of too much intelligence to deny these facts. The Courier refers to certain Republican journals which prate about the inefficIency of the Territory's Democratic delegate ID Congress and states that while 1t Is asserted that other Territories have had appropriations for publlc buildings, ArIzona has not been given one dollar for this purpose IL tries to place the responsibility of such inefficiency upon former delegates, and in order to mollify NIT. Oury's ln- efficiency with the people, pleads that t,e House of Representatives was Re publican, and intimates that Demo- cratic member could accomplish nothing with a Republican Congress. In order to prove the utter groundlessness Of such argument, 1t Is only necessary for us to show what Democratic delegates from other territories have done. Mon
 tana Is Democratic territory, and NIT. McGiunis, its delegate to Congress, is a Democrat, and was elected by LASS ma jority over Mir. Bothkin, his competitor Montana has received or there has been appropriations for public buildings s4s,772 75. Utah, which hss always been Democrat, and is represented by Cain, a Mormon Democrat. who was elected by nearly 2O,O00 majority, has re- ceived or there has had appropriated for public building S64, ,99s 90. The little ter ritory of Wyoming, which is Demo cratic territory, and has had Democratic delegate for years, has received or there has been appropriated for public buildings S4O.IO9 29 The Courier has not acted wisely in inviting the publication Of these figures, which must reflect upon Delegate Oury. There is no use of the Courier to try to defend MT Oury's re- cord Tn Congress it is indetensible. He has done nothing for Arizona, and Is en- titled to nothing m return.

IS REPUBLICAN LIBERTY THREATENED.

IS REPUBLICAN LIBERTY THREATENED.
 Educated men are not always saf' leaders, nor are they more accurate thar others in discussing common questioni of life, which almost every one should understand. A professor of a college recently delivered lecture in Chica 70 in which he stated that republican hb erty is seriously threatened by the grow ing influences of the clergy" Religious despotism IS arrsyed against American freedom" said the professor However we'll, the professor may be learned in the classics, he certainly has not well considered the relation of the clergy and State, and as to "religlous despo- tism," it only exists in the imagination of such men as the professor himself. Catholic priest have some influence over the members of their church, and have been known to control votes and on election days have dictated how they should be cast; but 1t IS not common for
 
 take part in politics. If we had but one church organization in this country, or one that possessed large majority over all others, then there would be danger. But as now divided into dozen or more sects, with no one towering pre- emineutly above the others, We fail to see where the danger lies, or how ire publican liberty Is seriously threaten ed" On the contrary, we have long been of the opinion that one of the strongest features of our republican in- stituhoDs, was owing to that wise provi- sion in the Constitution of the United States, which declares Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridge the freedom of speech or of the press" It is certainly to the interest of all church organizations, that no one de- nomination or sect should become strong enough to lead in governmental affairs, as such strength would ultimately result in the destruction or banishment of all others. Happily no such state of affairs exists, nor Is there the least possibility that it ever will. The sects are 80 evenly divided that they will always bal ance each other. Aside from this, there are now. and will continue to be, large conservative elements in this countrywho may be relied upon Tn sn emergency, who have no connection with any church, and most of the Christian sects will be ready to join them in the administration of the law as it is, or as they understand it. We cannot agree with the professor in the conclusions he has arrived st We do not believe there is any danger to be feared from the direction he has named, but on the contrary, that the various Christian denominations who are jealous of each other will always prove a source of strength to our repub- hcan form of government; they are not only ss citizens, interested in the per petuity of a free government, but the religious sects themselves would be en- should they prove unloyal to institutions.

THE New Mexican says: Governor Sheldon is taking a great deal of inter- est in the search for the little ten year old boy of Judge McComss, carried of by the msrauding Apaches at the time the Judge and his wife were killed near Silver City recently. Last night he wrote the Governors of Chihuahua and Sonora, urgently soliciting their aid iu an attempt to recover the lad. The Governors theory IS that the little fel- low is now held in captivity Tn the mountains of old Mexico, and that he is held there for ransom. Relatives of the late Judge McComss have offered $500 reward of his recovery.

Our of the S200.000 sent to the Rhine sufferers in Germany from the United States, Mir. Vollmer, one of the social democratic members of the Reichstag, who has examined into the matter. says that up to the 22d day of March, not one of the sufferers had received a penny. Such dilatory action on the part of German officials IS shameful. The unfortunstes may starve before the American fund can be distributed in &C., cordsnce with the circumlOcution methods of red tape in Germany. The Americans made great mistake in not sending & committee of their own to distribute the fund.

SOME of the California papers have a profound admiration for the Tombstone rangers, and also indulge in severe criticism of the U- 5. troops, though They seem to have faith in Gen. Crook. the San Francisco Exchange of recent date says:
 The Arizona rangers have professed a profound contempt for the courage of the United States troops. Shortly after party of these rangers left Tombstone, they were followed by detachment of United States Cavalry which kept near them during the day and camped close by them at night. The Rangers have bound themselves to protect the sol dlers, and from the tone of the dispatch, they have most contemptuous opinion of the prowess of Uncle Ssm's paid warrIors. It Is to the inefficiency of the troops that the people of that Territory attribute all their troubles. General Crook Is rendered powerless by the paucity of men at his command. And SC the Rangers have taken to the field themselves, and woe to the Apaches that fall into their hands. Their murdered friends will be amply re- venged.
 The CITIZEN, which is perhaps the most conservative of any of the journals published in Arizona, advocates the removal of the Apaches from the Terri tory, and thinks there Is no use talking of peace as long as they are in Arizona. It thinks the Department of the h. terior and Congress should be made to understand this fact and act upon 1t. large proportion of the Indians on the San Carlos reservation may be peaceably disposed, but there are, at all times. young bucks ready and willing to go on the war path, and no people know better what that means than the people of Arizona. But before this removal takes place, if it ever should be the case, the Rangers will use every effort to wipe out some of their Apache scores. They have determined to show the soldiers the way when 1t comes to 8 struggle, and teach the savage lesson which even his dull intelligence cannot fail to treasure up as s warning against future outbreaks.

RATHER PREMATuRR-

As usual, the leading Democrats of
 the country see nothing save successful
 indications for the party in the coming
 Presidential electon.
 NIT. Baysrd says people are wearying
 of Republican administration, and in
 1881 will demand change, and that the
 last election in New York, when the State went Democratic with plurality
 of 2OO,OO0, pretty thoroughly proves this fact" It IS upon just such elections as | that which took place in New York last
 all, that the Democrats build their hopes, without conSidering the question
 which brought sbout that result The great strength of the Republican party, that which broug ht 1t success, year after year, IS its recognized power within the party, to correct any irregularities that may seem out of place, or which may not meet the unqualified approval of all members of the party. Mir. Bayard has forgotten, or has purposely ignored the fact that at the late election in New York, the contest was not between the Democratic and Repub- llcsn parties, but between two factions ID the Republican party, who took oc- casion ID an oil year to settle their differences after their own fashion and Tn their own way, and that a very large per cent. of the 100000 majority which he refers to were Republican votes. That difference having been settled within the party, the Republicans of New York are again united, and are stronger than ever with the people, be- cause they have shown that they are not only able but willing to correct abuses wherever found. The correction of such differences does not weaken, but strengthens the party with the peo- pie; We believe the Republican party is stronger with the people to-day, than 't has been for eight years past Peace reigned among the Republicans in the last session of Congress. There was no wrsngling, or pickering of any sort whatever among our leaders. The l Republican party IS satisfied with the ! outlook. It is ready for the fray, and | the Democrats will find it the most live corpse they have ever undertaken to 1 bury.

 It IS said that there is an oath-bound organization of several hundred mem bers along the border of Arizona and New MeIlco, who are preparing to make a descent upon San Carlos; that the Tombstone Rangers are part of the organization; and that, instead of march ing in body, the various companies and individuals will go out in squads and collect together around the reservation, ready to strike simultaneously upon all sides at a given signal. The story IS given for what 1t is worth; but 1t IS cer- tain that such an organization was talk ed of last spring, and we heard 1t de- clared then that the initiative steps had been taken at Silver City.
