Judging from the manner of MT. Farish's movements, it seems to an out. side locker on, that he was sent out from headquarters as a missionary for the purpose of converting the citizens of southern Arizona into the ways and be. liefs of Governor Zulick. The EPITAPH will withhold all comments upon the proprety of the transaction until after the explanations of the governors agent have been given to our citizens. Mir. Parish will have hard task upon his hands to explain away the many peculiar actions of the territorial executive since he became governor of Arizona. If Secretary Parish can show to our people that the afore mentioned proclamation was essential to the peace, dignity and welfare of our territory, he will find the citizens of Cochise county ready and willing to extend the hand of fellowship 10 our governor.

Wellington On Napoleon.

never was believer in him, and I always thought that in the long run we should overturn him. He never seem- ed himself at his ease, and even in the boldest thing he did there was always a mixture of apprehension and meanness. I used to call him Jonathan Wild the Great, and at each new coup he made 1 used to cry out: Well done, Jona- than," to the grand scandal of some of my hearers. But the truth was he had no more care about what was right or wrong, just or unjust, honorable or dis honorable, than Jonathan, though his great abilities, and the great stakes he played for, threw the knavery into the shade.
 Posterity will hardly believe the suc- cess and extent of that system of dark ness which Bonaparte spread over France, but it was so complete that even l, who had been for SO many years in contact with his armies, and was now, for months, on his frontier, was glad to glean from any precarious and humble sources some knowledge of the real state of the interior.
 The best of all the publications about Bonaparte] is that of Baron Fain. All the dictations to Montholon, Gourgaud, and Las Casas are of little real authori- ty. They ara what Bonaparte, on after consideration, thought it expedient to represent things to have been, and not what they were. Any accurate reader will find them to be what made-up sto- ries always must be, full of contradic- tions, but we who know the affairs of our time know that they are full of falsehoods. - Crocker's ConVersati0n With ae Duke of Wellington.

Trick of the Cold Bugs.

NEW YORK, January I3.-The Star Washington correspondent says: Whil Carlisle was engaged a making up hi committee list he recu,ved a very large number of letters from Western ant Southern States urging the selection of committee on financial subjects which would recommend the suspension of sill yer coinage. It now turns out that his suspicion that these letters were manu- factured was true. A circular was sem out from New York, Chamber of Com. merce, which was at the bottom of the deluge of letters that is said to have frightened Evarts into silence on the silver question. As in the case of Evarts, bankers and others who received these letters immediately wrote the speaker as suggested. They succeeded for shor, time in giving him much concern. It is safe to say, when he found out the device of which he was being made the victim, he was indignant but the composition O! the committee which will consider the silver coinage question shows that hls judgment prevailed over his personal feelings, and he did full justice by the interest whose special representative body is supposed to have worked upon him a rather shabby and dishonorable tr;rk

Notwithstanding the fact that Gen. Crook is stationed at Fort Bowie and has under his immediate command at that place ten companies of soldiers, the hostiles are depredating all around him. Only yesterday the Apaches fired upon a small party of negro soldiers at Dragoon Summit, only twenty-five miles from Crooks headquarters, and put them to flight. And yet in the face of such facts, as these, there are newspapers in Ari. zona clamoring for his retention. This farce will go on and on until the Indians are either removed from Arizona or else put under civil control. His policy in keeping Apache scouts when it is a notorious fact that they give to their hostile friends all the information they desire, and are better posted as to the disposition of his troops then Crook himselfi is damablc.

The actoa of officers in command of the Apache scouts in condoning treach- cry, revolt and murder on the part of these men, offers a direct premium to repetitions of such offences. We may expect to see assertions of scouts grow ing more numerous daily, followed by further outbreaks ofdiscontented Indians from the reservation. How can the Apaches feel anything but contempt for officers, who allow a scout to go off, scott free from under the rifles of troops, after he has shot down two officers in cold blood?

When Governor Zulick issued hi.

When Governor Zulick issued his famous proclamation, the newspapers of the territory--with perhaps one excep- tion--were unanimous, irrespective of party, in condemning it as an insult to the territory. Very soon, however, the party whip was cracked over the heads of the democratic press, they were given to understand that they must fall into line and they did so, publishing long apologies for the governor, which evil dently emanated from common source. The gentlemen who run these papers are evidently democrats first and Arizonans afterwards. In this they do net by any means express the sentiments of the great majority of settlers in this territory, to whom the welfare and honor of Ari- zona are far more important than the success or failure of any partisan schemers.

Evenly Divided.

WASHINGTON, January I3.-The committee on coinage will not organize until about the middle of the week. It is considered to be about evenly divided on the silver question, It is not thought that any particular measure will be brought before the house until the com mittee has had ample time to carefully consider the question in all its ramifca- tions together with various propositions offered. Ex-Congressman Belford who has thoroughly investigated the matter says he is convinced that the coinage act will not be repealed, and Mills, of Texas, will open the battle in the house within ten days in favor of its contin- uance. There is no doubt but that the west and south will combine against the confederated gold bugs of the east. Senator Teller has presented the senate with monster petition two hundred feet long containing signatures of thousands of Colorado citizens.
