Two years ago Judge McCouas and wife were killed and little Charley was taken captive and afterwards made way with, by a band of Apache Indians nn- der the immediate command of ChRt1, one of their war chiefs. These were among the many murders committed oy these Indians before they found safe lodgment in the Impenetrable strong holds of the Sierra Madre mountains where they captured Gen. Cook and his command. As a part of the unhoJ compact which gave our troops and their commander immunity from death and hberty to return to American soil. rt WAS dIctated by the Indians and con- scented to by Crook. that the hostiles shouli return to the reservation, retain inc their arms, ammunition, stolen stock and general plunder; that they be Ted and cloths and taught agriculture; their crimes and ofTenses be all forgiven and, in fact. that they be treated as conquer ors. although nominally prisoners or war. To-day, the same tribe, under Geronimo is repeating the bloody ra,d, and among the forces with which the government is ensctings burlesqde campaign against them. is a company of scouts comprised of the same tribe, in which the sx-cbief Chato IS first ser eesnt. Does any one for single mo- ment suppose that these scouts will prove effective against their own kind red? They simply masquerade ss scouts to assist their friends in the bloody work of murdering innocent settlers, and are only deterrsd from 'ining the hostiles because of greater usefulness ss scouts.

FoR the tifIeth time ID bis life Ms!or- General John NJ. Pope ngured in a faFc.ci role in the telegrams yes terdAy.

Major Gen. ersl Pope is the compound of Don Q1! 1te, Capt BobadIl and Bombastes tur0so who commanded the Union forces at the second battle of Bull Run.

THE Pioneers are taSlng active steps to bring the att ntiOn of the admins tration to the existing state of Indian affairs ID Arizona. They do not expect, simply as q body of men, to accomplish the removal of the Indians, but they de- sire to start A movement that will bring such a state of affairs abC ut. And whc, among all our people can this duty more appropriately fall upon? Nearly every member of this society has at some time passed through just such experiences as the unfortunate settlers of eastern ArizO- ns are having to day. Many of them bear scars of the hostile conflict with the Apaches, and all of them are very fs- miliar with the history of Indian atrocl- ties in this sun kissed land. The weight of their opinion ard influence should alone be sufficient to move the govern ment to action in this matter, but mas much as they have extended an invitation to the public for @ concerted movement, the occasion should be embraced 10 at least show to the department the senti- ment of our people. if it fails to bring about the results hoped for. We do not spprehend a failure, under the pro eramme laid down. There seems to be & disposition manifested by the present administration to put final quIetus upon the Apache troubles, and while their attention is sbsorted with this subject it IS the proper time to act. We applaud the wisdom Of the Pioneers Tn taking the initiatory steps in this worthy cause, and hope that it may bring fruit ful results.

INDIAN CuTTHRnArs

The Indians have killed numter oI people and committed many outrag ss the outlook Is bad. Everything judi cates trouble similar Co the Victoria out break, and that it will be very dificuli to suppress
 The foregoing is the language of Gen, eral George Crook in his report to Gen. eral Pope. on the thirty first ultimo.
 The Indians who have killed many peo pie and committed many outrages were submitted to the keeping ot General Crook nearly two years ago, on his assu. rance tha. no other meysure would in- sure peace. His word was pledged for their good behavior. The hostiles nun. bered not more than one hundred and twenty-five warriors and one hundred and seventy five women and children. They were in camp not more than ten miles from a military post having us garrison six companies of United States troops,In a department command. ed by brigGdIer general, under whom were two regiments of soldiers and two hun1red and fifty Indian scouts of bi. own selection, whose only excuse fc cumbering the ground of Arizona was tt. proteci(0 white inhabitants from hcsfil- Indians. Noman knew better than Gen eral Crook of the treacherous nature oi his wards. His own evidence on file in the Department of the Interior at Wash Ington, is to the eff ct that, man for ma |, they are capable of doing more dam age to civilized communities thai any other Indians m the UuI- ted States. A tho1>and or more oi warning voices have been raisei from time to time against Crooks crimius negligence ip permitting SO danSerUu fue 10 roam through the country will, armed with the best weapons that can be produced by modern skill, an. heavily lsdene1 with fixed ammunition fresh from government srsenals Nearl every intelligent citizen of Arizona, long enough a resident of the T rr- tory to have become familiar with Apache methods, has foretold the T, suit of this insane policy in tones tha' could no. have failed 10 reach the ears of General Crook and which would have been needed by any one not dead to rhe instincts of humanity or blinded by self-conceit.
 After having refused to adopt such simple precautions as would have reI- dered his pets powerless for harm. Gen. Crook now walls out the mortifying con fession that the outlook IS bad, ana with eight bodies of troops out after The Indians he has not yet succeeded in protecting a single citizen from th' rAiding redskins made strong and activ, by two years of generous feeding on army rsiions of beef and flour.
