ARIZONAs

 The near future settlement of h. dian troubles in this Territory depends entirely upon the action of the Gov ernment at Washington. If General Crook is permitted untrammeled to organize his forces and pursue the hostile savages until they sue for peace. very soon he will settle the whole question and give us lasting peace. He has twice taken the field in person and as soon as fairly under way has been stopped and obliged to abandon his campaigns. These de- lays have been disasterous in any light looked at.

 First-They have been the means of 8 large number of American citi- zens being murdered. Even since General Howard came to the Terri tory no less than eight have fallen by the hands of the Apache savages.

 Second-Every day peace is post poned, the expense to the Government is prolonged and the progress of this Territory is retarded.

 General Crook was sent here one year ago for his ability and uniform success in managing Indians. He never made treaty that has been broken, and through his energy and superior judgment he has invariably made quick work in bringing the sav- ages to subjection. General Howard says in his letter to the President: "I would ask for no better officer to work with me in your Indian policy" The President showed his confidence by sending him here, and the people over the entire coast endorse the &C., ton of the President and have un- limited confidence in him, but he has been tied hand and foot nearly the entire time he has been in command of this Department. We are willing to forget this and live and work together for the future, if his hands can now be loosened and he be allowed to go on and finish up the work. We cannot bring the dead to life that have fallen, but General Crook can and will, if permitted, prevent the slaughter to a great ex- tent in the future. We have the promise of General Howard that no further obstacles shall be thrown in his way. Upon this basis the people freely co-opperated and complied with every request General Howard made, and they now ask 8 faithful con- pliance with the understanding, so far as General Crook is concerned. Give him @ chance to prevent the carnagel and death that have been going on for years, and through him give the peo- pie a chance to settle this Territory and develop its rich resources.

THE State Journal makes a pleasant

We deny that the Republican party
would establish mixed schools in Rich
mond, in the event stated by the Dispatch.
We stand against mixed schools, wherever
separate ones can be successfully maintained
forithe two races; and for the simple reason.
that we are satisfied, beyond the force ofany
further argument, that separate schools
are better for both races--and this the col
ored people will come to learn in due
time. We have no sympathy with those
who soould croaod social equality beyond
the natural growth it should reach in any
locality. Social position (Which is what
social equality means) is thing to be gain
ed by individual exertion--by fighting
ones way up the ladder-not a result to
bo forced by legislation. This is our po-
sition, and we hope it is comprehenslvely
enough expressed to satisfy our neighbor

THE Dispatch still persists in its state
ment that the election of Senator Ferry
over General Hawley, in Connecticut, was
triumph of the Greeley movement"
When we penned the paragraph we pub
lished yesterday, we spoke not only ad-
visedly, but of matters entirely within our
own personal knowledge. The New Haven
Journal and Courier, the leading Republican
paper Of New Haven, which supported the
claims of Senator Ferry throughout the en-
tire controversy, say s in reply to the article
in the New York Tribune giving an anti
Administration coloring to the result, that
there was not a solitary " Greeley man."
or one at all " inclined to go to CINCINNATI"
among the Republicans who stood by Sena-
tor Ferry. More than this, the Hartford
Coa1ant, edited by General Hawley himself,
distinctly AYERS that Ferry is WHOLLY and
totally opposed to the Democracy" If
this does not satisfy our neighbor, the
positive assurance of Senator Ferry, made
in his place in the Senate, pending the
struggle in the Connecticut Legislature,
that he SHOULD support the Philadelphia
nominees,D and that he regarded the
denomination Of General Grant as q fore

There is one species of sold fogyism" in


Virginia that we desire to break right square
up, and we think the good sense of every
citizen of Richmond, save only the class
referred to, will back us in the attempt to


break it up. We refer to those old fossils
who have been so long in the habit of rum
ming off to Northern cities to purchase
everything that is wanted for local use,
that the thing has become chronic with
them, and the longer they live the greater
the infirmity becomes. We understand
that, only quite recently, hundred iron
bedsteads were wanted for the use of the
Almshouse in this city, when off goes

phia, or some other northern city, to buy
them when, if they had looked about
them here, they could have found iron
manufacturers among us who would have
furnished equally as good an article at
equally as low price-thus saving ex-
pense to, and freight from a northern city.
In fact, we know one party who could
promptly have filled the order, and would
have jumped at the chance of doing so, at
the same, if not at less price than was paid
for these bedsteads in Philadelphia. Is it
not about time that this folly Of expending
public monies in northern cities, with as
good, if not better manufacturers of the
articles purchased at our swn doors, was

In the House of Representatives on Mon

Mr.. Voorhees, Dem. Ind rising to q
personal explanation, submitted para
praph from the Washington Republican
to the effect that he was halting and hesi-
tating Oh the question Of supporting Gree
lev, and, as all his Democratic colleagues
were all said to be 1n favor of Greeley, he
was likely to lose the favor of the district
where his voice had so long been potential.
He declared that he did not halt or hesi-
tate as to the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention. Who ever believed in his
high protective tariff principles might sup
port him; but he voorhees, would not.
Greeley was the lifelong champion of the
doctrines which he Voorhees, opposed;
the great champion Of protection, the
most clamorous advocate in all the land
for the kukluX legislation, which desOlated
the homes of the Southern people. While
the present administration had simply eX-
ecuted the law dictated to the Congress by
the Cincinnati nominee, within recent
date, Greeley had desired further eXten
sion of the Presidents power to supend
the hdbeaS corpus and he was an earnest
an urgent advocate Of the present force

a President?
