A WELCOME EXODUS.
Seventv-fve Apaches, from the San

q Carlos. They left on Sunday the 16tl
 but no standard appeared in the blus of the morn. They moved in sllenc o and sorrow to a more circumScribe n jurisdiction than they hitherto CT , ioyed. That they will soon weary c :. exile does not admit of doubt, and l D is equally certain that contrition fo former crimes will not disturb thel , leaden sleep.
 , The cause of their removal was be cause of thelr discordant nature, re pugnant to the better class of Indians they were drunken, quarrelsome, ana continual lnfractors of the rules gov
 ernlng the Agency, where they wer fed and clothed at public expense They are graceless lot, and un
 worthy of human sympathy, and ye 7. there are those of sanctimoni0us mieI who condone their hci!ish deeds aht
 ask ''why white men hang on the In
 dians path like the hound on the Ii
 gers track
 The major part of these now on tht
 way to Fort Union are women anC children, mostly famiIes of bucks now on the war path. and of men whose
 hands have already shed white men:
 blood and who have been drawing government rations and stealthily con
 veying them to the raiders and sup 1 plying them with ammunition.
 Captain J. L. Bullis IS credited with the suggestion for their removal. As agent at the San Carlos reservation he was enabled to discern that their pres ence there would result in an out break and in order to forestall their corrupting influence he suggested their relegation to some remote point where their minds might be diverted from the savage allurements of the torch, and death dealing rife.
 The only music attending the march is the gingling of cavalry sabers which will cease to eniven the ear at Fort Grant, from which place to Wilcox no other symphony than the cadence of infantry footsteps w,ll attend the march. Capt. L. Johnson, command ing the military forces at San Carlos, superintended the removal of the pris- oners from San Carlos to Wilcox, and the arrangements, in every detail were carried out to perfection. From Wilcox they will go by rail, to Fort Union, Mora county, New Mexico, where they will be dumped, and glared at as unwelcomed visitors.
 Now thatthe policy of weedlng the San Carlos Agency, of its worst ele- ment is seemingly adopted, 1t is to be hoped It will be continued until tbe reservation IS so thoroughly purged that murder, thievery, distilling tis- win, and Its attendant wees, will be ITegarded as among the lost arts. We are charitable, and regarding the dose already administered upon Fort Unlon and vicinity as quantum suficit, we would kindly suggest that the next instailment be shipped to Boston, and that future distributions might con tlnue to other points, until Arizona is free from their unwelcome presence. In selecting their future homes great care should be had to locate them as remote as possible from the scenes of their forays, in order to avold the ne cesslty of trapping them when want ed; to some place Tn the far East where they might stand with the choir and joln in singing "Old Hundred" ard "Corinth," and "Mear" and other sweet psalms, even though they have exhibited, no very incorporate zeal in the matter of hiding their nakedness, beyond the adoption of the conven- tlonal gee string, broad scarf wrap ped around the Joins once and be- tween the limbs. and each end floating and fapplng behind and before, which completes the tout en semble of the Apache summer dress, nothing more, not even a blush.
 The removal of these Indians east, is commendahle. They will be nearer the base of supplies, and where they will learn to eat pie with a fork. and otherwise the change will place them in the ascending scale of civilization, and the further east they are taken the more advanced they will become in modish manners, and It IS fair to presume that If any are sent as far east as Boston they will wear eve glasses to be in fashion with the elite of the hub.
