THE Nogales Frontier says Gen eral Miles proposes to enlist a com pany of Papago scouts for the pur- pose of running down the Apache blood suckers. This tribe of h. dians arc the dead mortal enemies of the Apachcs and greatly feared by them. They no doubt will take pleasure in lifting the hair of the hostiles. It is a pity that the whole tribe cannot band together and wipe these fiends of perdition out of existence, and it is heartily be- lieved that every citizen in the United States would contribute a small mite toward the self-support of the Papagoes, who are friendly tribe of Indians and quite indus triouS.

becoming of frequent occurrence to the great injury of resident stock men, and that these wanton tres passes are more particularly con fined to New Mexican sheep herds. It is claimed that . small herd of sheep will be domiciled in the Ter ritory as basis of operations, and that under this f1imsy pretext of residence flocks numbering thous- ands will be driven into the Terri tory, seeking its greenest pastures, without regard to ownership, pro- prietary or possessory right, and the result is to leave a scope of country in their trail upon which it would tax the resources of 3 grass-hopper to find living. It is also said that these nomad herd CTS enliven their forays by playing a game of hide and seek with the tax assessor, keeping always at a convenient distance, and thus avoiding all the consequences of their migratory citizenship. The methods pursued by these itine rant foragers, gives to them all the advantages and privileges of citi zens, without subjccting them to any of their duties and burdens. Some of our resident sheep men have been loudest and longest in their denunciations of these locust swarms of foreign stock which are annually making q public domain of the ranches and ranges which have been taken up and appro- priated by residents whose stock and property are maintaining the expense of county and territorial goveri. .ment. The cattlemen and horsemen are more particularly the sufferers by these depredations, from the fact that their stock is necessarily confined to certain de- finite and fixed ranges, and if their grazing is destroyed by these poach- CTS, they cannot wander to other pastures, but must suffer the ills without a remedy. It should be remembered that this portion of our community comprises in their number as good ard substantial citizens as can be found in the county, and are admittedly the largest taxpayers and property owners. They have, therefore, a right to feel aggrieved and to de- mand the fullest protection of the law, and the mutterings of discon- tent are so universal, that there is reason to believe that if all other expedients should fail, recourse will be had to that highest of all laws which is dictated by self-preserva- tion.

THE Florence Enterprise has been informed by a gentleman con nected with the army that there are between 15O and 200 warriors along with Geronimo, also many of Gen. Crooks former scouts; but is not at liberty to give the gentleman's name on account of the high posi- ton he holds in the army. No one, who knows anything of the Apaches would have doubted the assertion, had he included all the scouts who were with Crook.

THE cases of the Aztec Cattle Company, limited, against the Ar mijos, charging them with trespass- ing, is developing a series of charges and counter charges. The latest outcome of the embroglio is a com plaint lodged against c. F. Cate, the Winslow Justice of the Peace, charging him with failure to keep a table of fees posted in conspic- uous place in his office. What step will be next taken in this judicial
 sword-play remains yet to be seen. In the. habeas corpus trials held
 before Commissioner Ruiz and Judge Rudd, the merits of the cases were not investigated or discussed, but the question upon which their decisions rested was the legal va lidity of the papers committing the defendants to jail, and therefore it was impossible to learn any thing of the grievance alleged, other than the eliminating charge. If the company have a title or possessorY right to the land upon which the defendants are claimed to have trespassed, there is undoubtedly law to reach the case, and it should be rigidly enforced, It is current talk in the county that trespasses by non-residents of the Territory IS

Whereupon our worthy General remarked that he had no time toask the City of Mex leo, and marched his command at once across the line. Gen. Miles is in earnest in his efforts to crush out these Indian troubles, and whilst in the pursuit of his duty will not be triaed with by fiunkies either Mexican or American, General Miles is worthy of success, and we sincerely trust he will soon succeed.-Epitaph.

LAST week We made Q short visit to Holbrook and Winslow, and were pleased to meet many of the good citizens of those places. We exchanged a passing salutation with our former townsman Colonel Reed at the depot. The Critic" is still in a chrysalis state, but pre- sume it will make it's appearance in a short time. Mr, Frank Reed is in Holbrook waiting to take his place on the new journal. The people of those fourishing towns are so clever and hospitable that it is no matter of wonder that so many visiting strangers are easily per suaded to finger among them. We are indebted for many courtesies, and where so many hospitable civ ilties were extended, feel that it would be indulging ungenerous comparisons to single out any of the innumerable instances.

GERoNDQand his band are still at large and defying capture. Re ports from Nogales, Tombstone and Tucson show that he is daily plac- ing additional names upon the list of victims, who are found in the trail of his murderous raid. On one day he seems to be surrounded with every avenue of escape cut off, and the dispatches of the next day contain accounts of outbreaks in other places, and an enumera- ton of fresh outrages and more hloodshed. It certainly seems that the suggestion of Delegate Bean is a wise one, and that the govern ment should offer a large reward for the head of the outlaw chief. Such a course would be much more economical than the present mode of warfare, and would have the effect of placing men upon his trail who would bring the game to quar- ters speedily and effectually.

THE legality of the quarantine law passed by New Mexico against cattle from the fever infected dis tricts has been settled The cases were tried in Lincoln, Lincoln coun- ty. The first was the Territory of New Mexico vs. Eugene McCrohan, and the second the same plaintiff with Henry Mann as defendant. Judgement was rendered against the defendants in both cases and damages were placed at $5,000 in each. The suits were for bringing cattle from Texas into New Mexi- co, without inspection by the Ter ritorial Inspectors of Cattle sta toned on the line. Nine more cases are for trial, and 1t Is believed the result will be in favor of the Territory. This will add consider able to the Treasury of our sister Territory.

TIE strikes in the east seem to have all subslded The eight-hour strike has proved a complete fail ure, most of the strikers having gone back to work, without any substantial concessions on the part of their employers. A great many of those who went out, now find their places filled by new men and they are scattering over the coun- try in search of means of subsis- tence. The anarchists and social ists are still disposed to be turbu- lent, but the authorities seem to have those clements under subjec- ton, and the ringleadcr3 and those detected in aiding or abetting riot ous acts or conspiracies, are being seversly dealt with by the courts The red flag of the anarchists ald the black flag of the seas both fur nish 2 back ground for the signili- cant skull and bones, and should both be dealt with in that uncom- promising, mercilcss spirit which stops at nothing short of cxtermi- nation.

HE press of the Territory gen eTally seem to favor the abolition of the County Court, and latest ad- vices from Washington indicate that such a measure is likely to be- come law at an early date. The present jurisdiction and powers of that Court, while they confer no substantial benefit upon the people, do add a very serious and appa- rently unnecessary expense to the taxpayers who are called upon to foot the bills. The practical work ing of the system was forcibly H. lustrated at the last session of the Court in this county. There was only one prisoner in jail, yet a grand jury was summoned and enl- paneled, and after a brief sitting, returned one bill and adjourned. Now special venire has been sum- moned from all over the county to appear on the first of June and dis pose of this one case. Suppose a continuance is obtained or from any cause the case fails to reach a trial, then nothing remains but to ad- jOurn Court and enter a series of items upon the expense account of the county. On the other hand, even if the case should be pros ecuted to it's termination, we are confronted with the fact that in the disposition of a single case an ex- penditure has been saddled upon the county, which would go long way in detraying the expense of an entire term of the District Court. Through the declaration of the highest judicial tribunal the Court can undoubtedly claim it's existence as one of the judicial functiona- ries of the county, and as such take all necessary steps to entertain and enforce its jurisdiction, but is 1t either wise or prudent to do so? The taxpayers have a right to be consulted, and their interest should at all times form the basis of off cial conduct, and among those mat ters which should command special attention is the economic admins tration of public affairs. All of the judicial machinery of the county has been put i'll motion, the citi- zens, at the busiest season of the year have been called from their various vacations officers are securing the country in search of jurors and witnesses; the processes of Court duly attested and officially sealed, are seeking unwilling vic tims in every direction, while a sol itary prisoner sits as master of ccr- emonies over these solemn rites, which have been inaugurated to do him honor regardless of expense,
 We hear many complaints, and the session of the Court convened to try one prisoner is deemed a hardship and expense which could have been, to a large extent avoid ed, by referring the matter to the business routine of the District Court.
