GENERAL CRcOR, in reply to the de- maud of the sheriff of Cochise county for the persons of Nans, Chihuahua and others of the Indian outlaws, declares that they are prisoners of war and tha- he is directed by the secretary of war not to surrender them except upon aG- thority from Washington. Under just what stretch of imsgInetIon these nur- derers are held as prisoners of war It Is difficult to determine. There has been no declaration of var by the United States CT by the Indians, and the out laws have committed no ,iIenses against the Urited States. Their hand has been against ths Pesceable citizens of hri- zona, whom they have murdered and plunderei with the mos. fiendish savsg- cry, and they are Enswerable solely to our laws for their crimes. The defeat Of justice resulting from their removal t. the Dry IOrtugss CT elsewhere, by the government, is not what the people of Arizona have s righ;to expect, and tue example of the authorities of our gOyeTnEen. being the first 10 breGi it's laws is not a good nor a wise one. Had b band of soldiers deserted tbeir com I3Gpd and committed the crimes of which these ApacLes are guilty, the civil law would have dealt with them after their captare, without question. They would not be regarded ss prison CTS of war, even though the whole army was required to compass their arrest. The laws of ibe United States have made the Indians, even upon a govern ment reservation, Bmenable to tine laws of the state or territory for crimes com mitted within its limits and beyond the boundaries of the reservation. And here we have the spectacle of one de- pertinent of our government interposing an obstacle to the faithful performance O. its laws. How can the president of the United States, at whose personal suggestion this arbitrary sctIon of the war department ls taken, reconcile his conscience to the InfFsct:on of the laws be has sworn to see faithfully and i'm partially executed? By his official con- nivance the laws of tue United States are held in contempt and persons guilty of infamous crimes are rewarded rather thsn punished for them.
 But our people have not exhausted their remedies in this matter, and there can be DO doubt that the supreme court of the United States will decide. on an appeal, that the laws were not made one day to be ignored the next, aud that the government cannot afford to become an accomplice in CT accessory 10 the com mission of infamous crimes by shield ing the criminals from the punishment provided by tLe law.

ONE of the most promising indnstries to which :he southern portion of An zora is especially adapted, IS that Of os- .rich farming. The pecul'sr conditlcr of soii and climate rscre closely spProxi' mate those Of their Isiive country, and favor their rapid growth and propsea- tiop. From the mouth ofthe Gila river all along it's course and the valleys tub- utary thereto, afford al the necessary conditions fo- their successful nsinte- nance. The pr, fits of ostrich farming are prodigiuus and there is very little apprehension of sn production Tor many years. The frst outlsy for old birds, and the time and care required ID raising tine young to a productive condi' ton. make the industry enc ot such macni:ude that very few individuals are able or willing to usk the amount in one single line Of business, and ihere' fore aa association of capital is better able to engage in the very profitable iG' dus.ry.

HE dismissal by the United States court m this city of several indictments found by the United States grand jury last fall, and the certainty of the dIs- missal of the remainder of the political indictments. exhibit some of the faTcical features of legalIZed masquerade con- ducted almost solely for the purpose Of venting personal and political spite, at the expense of the United States, with a brief reference to legitimate busIness. The grand jury in question was in ses sion for one moath, and they had com pleted all the legitimate work before them ID four days time. |. S Attorney ]. A. Zabriskie had ell the proper mat ters for their consideration prepared for their action, and their further work N Rs maiuly devoted 10 matters of persona. anu political nature, all of which, upon review by the court, have been found to constitute uo cfIeuse under the law or too frivolous for consideration. The
 
 election frauds, III which the sorry al tempt was made to fGsten guilt upon republicans and to ignore positive Ill., formation against democrats, Is speci- men of tLe work that the court has thrown out us not being proper or wor- thy of Its consideration. IEe political indictments against Col. ZabriskIe, Col. Woifey, and ten. Johnson for contrib uting of the;r private means to a cam pngn fund, are monuments of the plas- tic consistency of that body, and upon them was based the order for the sus- pension of these officials, notwithstand- ing the fact that the democratic prcsi- dent of the United States and his pri- vate secretary. were both guilty of a like ofsnse, If it can be termed such. The jury lent itself ss pohuca! weapon for the creation of pretexts for the re moval of republican officials, and utterly ignored similar circumstances affecting others whose positions were either not coveted or had been voluntarily surren- dered. This Is the kind of work that was accomplished by body of men summoned under the laws of the United States to inquire into the intractioDs of its lswsl From the fourth day of its session until 1t adjourned through the limitation of time, it became political conspiracy, made more formidable by the power with which it was vested as a portion of legal machinery of the gov ernment.

IRE report e tine Governor of Ch.- huaLua to the war department of the Mexlcar government, is un!qGe speci- men of the desire of our utiGbbors tc convince the publc that the killing O: Captain Crawford was the result oi an unavailable nightmare. His report was dated ou January 2Sth, aud stated that ''on the 1lth of that m nth Mexican troops had bettled near a point called Tiopar, ID the Sierra del Bavis, with about POO Indians. commanded by for eign officers, and that they killed five of the enemy including ;Leir captain. On our side the loss was equally great in numbers, including a major and lieu tenant. Through misrepresentation of this affair and exaggerated reports III the North American papers. the suspi- cion was produced in the United States that the death of Capt. Crawford, one the victims of the TiopGr encounter, had been intentional on the part of our troops. and that the latter had tired upon officers ot the United States army, without justification. Jn obedi- euce to public opinion, the government Of both countries have ordered a most scrupulors investigation of the entire affair. For my part, and judging from the information thus far at hGad, [ am inclined to the opinion that our troops honestly believed to be fighting hostile Indians, as they were upon an Indian trail, and had every reason to expect a large indian force from the number f outrsges and depFedaIoEs committed v sayages, and as only very few United States soldiers were among tbe force at tacked by them. The death of brave lnl meritorlOus officers or citizens of the two sister republics IS very much to be regretted, but for our troops it must count es an excuse, that they were com posed OI volunteer Chihuahua rural guards who had TO reason to expect friends among tae Indians confronting them, auI all :he less, because the con- veuiion reZardi-g permission to cross the line while Ill the pursuit of hostile Indians only refers to the regular troops of both republic.
