@ Argonaut. We suggest that

the Argonaut. We suggest that the citizens of this town and every town in the Territory hang him in effigy, and that every news stand in the Territory that keeps the Argonaut for sale from this date be boycotted, also any person who buys or subscribes for one. We ask the press of the Territory to stand inwith us on this proposition. Men and women of Arizona, don't this cause your honest blood to leap and your hearts to tbrob and burn with indignation, when you read such barbarous sentiments as these. This subsided, this debau- ched, thls depraved, incarnate in humane fiend. This spawn of prostitution, begot from an an cestry of harlots, and whose avoca
 tion is now practiced and adhered to. This offspring of slum, of de- bauchery and shame, who would cause a blush to appear on the cheeks of Guiteau. This travesty
 upon the children of God, calls the men of Arizona who are protecting their wives and little ones from
 the murderous scalping knives of the Apaches, calls them Arizona blackguards.

IF Geronimo and a few other chiefs had been indicted, con- victed and hung for their murders two years ago, says the Los Ar geles Express, there would have been no such vail of distress as we hear in Arizona. Were a lot of cowboys to break loose period
 ically and commit such depreda- tions, they would be hunted down without mercy and Judge Lynch would hold court under every shade tree; and yet the lazy, lousy, treacherous savage, held amenable to. no authority, sinks back to the reservation dripping with blood, and receives the mis- sionary's blessing, the govern ment's bread, spends the winter in pampered laziness till the spring grass arouses anew his thirst for blood and plunder. :,

 GENTLEMEN of the Thieving Thirteenth. please rise and ex- plain why, on the 9th of February last, Joint Resolution No. ? was approved by the Executive. It reads:
 .Be it resolved by the Legisla- tive Assembly of the Territory of Arizona,
 That the thanks of the people of Arizona, through their repre- sentatives here assembled, be and are hereby rendered to Gen. George Crook, commander of the United States forces in and for the Department of Arizona, for the able and efficient manner in which he has conducted the mill tary affairs of this department, for his successful operations against hostile Indian bands, for the skill and genius which has marked his management of the Indians throughout the Territory. restor- ing and maintaining peace in every quarter and putting an end to those raids of tho hostile savage which heretofore have been so de- structive to the property and so terrible to the lives and happiness of our citizens.
 Resolved. That the high appre- citation of the citizens of Arizona for Gen. Crook Is as universal as his Indian policy has been sue cessful, and that we, the repre- sentatives of the people, re-state and re-aifirm the words of the Ex- ecutive in his bi-annual message, that the Indians know Gen. Crook and his methods, and respect both.
 Resolved. That an engrossed copy of this joint resolution, prop erly certified by the Secretary of the Territory, be transmitted by the Governor to Gen. Crook"
 The resolutions read as if they had been moved by Geronimo, and seconded by Lis Lleuteuants. Coald the spirits of our murdered friends on the Blue, at or near Alma, in Cochise and other parts of Arizona and New Mexico speak, would they not tale unfold which would move heart as cold as monumental marble?
 Since the above endorsement of Gen. Crook widows weeds are worn by many, and fathcrless children cry aloud and wonder fl their fate shall be that of poor little Charlie McComas, who wit messed the agonizing death of his parents and has not since been heard from, although, after he was released by Geronimo in Mex ico, Gen. Crook pledged his word that Charlie would be restored to hIs friends.

TIE Tombstone extends a cor dial invitation to the editor of the Argonaut to visit that city. and we hope he will respond. The people are hospitable, the climate is salubrious, the water is pure, and, Mir. Pixley, you might possi- ply be invited to a neck-tie party in a quiet and unostentatious manner, as was one of the Bisbee murderers. There are some tele- graph poles around Tombstone which have not been utilized and await your coming:
 Our citizens are very anxious to see MT. Frank Pixley and have him visit this city, and desire us to extend him an invitation through the columns of the Tomb stone to visit this city. We hope he will come.

Inc D,sgus,ing Thirteenth.

The printed journals of the last session of the Legislature have been received, and a hurried pe rusal of them brings to light con duct of both houses which appar- ently press the parliamentarian rules to their utmost limit. In one instance the reader is gravely in- formrd that, "On motion of Mir. Todd, of Marieopa, the Mayor of the City of Prescott was fined keg of North American cocktails for allowing the lamps to be taken from the Council Chamber"-the vote passing, the measure being an unanimous one. While in sev- eral places the journals record the imposing of tho usual fine" on tardy members-which in plain English means that the member in question was required to ''set up the drinks" to his colleagues. Will not future generations, in reviewing this official record of the deliberations of our sapient solons, reasonably arrive at the conclusion that the Arizonlons of the present day were wont to enact their laws while drunk, as is accepted at present as an .indis- putable fact, that the statement that the Persians of Cambyscs' day were wont to first decide on all questions of national import ance while intoxicated, and after wards review their decision when sober.
 We have not had the privilege of reading the journals of the ''Thieving Thirteenth" but have carefully read all the acts as off cially published. The above state mont, from the Prescott Miner, has the ring of true metal, al though, for the benefit Of our Territory, it might have been bet ter had the truth not been ex- pressed. But the suppression of truth is seldom wholesome, al though temporarily it might sub serve a salutary purpose. With few exceptions, there has never been assembled on the Pacific coast more reckless represent atives of the people than the "dis gustirg Thirteenth"
