INDIAN AFFAIRS IN ARIZONA The Wash
ington Chronicle, has the following: From
letter recently received by General Howard,
IN regard to Arizona affairs. we learn that
the peace made with Cochise has every ap-
pearance of being faithfully kept by that
chief. In one Instance recently a band of
thirty-two warriors of the Apache tribe who
had not been informed of the cessation OF
hostilites were met en- route to Sonora on
the road, and brought to Cochise, who in
formed them that he W ould permit of no
hostilities nor plundering, and they turned
back to their homes. In another instance
one of the mail drivers on the road, passing
through the Apache country was thrown
from his wagon, and the team with the mail
ran away, The driver went on foot to the
station, and the next day one of Cochise 6
Indians found the outfit astray and brought
it to the agency without loss of value
or of the mail This action will be
better understood when it is known that one
of the principal objects of the Indians has
been to drive the mail off all the roads Be-
side Cochise, another important chief, named
Nathoza, on learning of the peace, came in
with his band, saying that there were no
more Indians south except six OF his crowd
for whom he would SEND. The number of
Indians in Cochise's reservation is being in
creased, and travel on the highways resumed
also, with assured safety. Not single dep
relation has been committed since General
Howard made peace, and from every source

PHILADELPHIA, Oct "a 1878.


The Convention instituted to remodel and amend
the constitution OF the State OF Pennsylvania made
this afternoon very important and unexpected
change in regard to all railway companies within
the State Mr. Knight, Philadelphia, moved to go
into committee to amend the tenth section TO read
that no railway company shall grant free passes,
or passes at discount, to any person except Off,
GERS or employees OF the company, which was agreed
to-yeas 70, nays 20, great deal OF comment is
made upon the action OF the Convention, and It is
pretty generally believed that the members who
voted for il win be obliged to pay their passage
home. 1t might be said in this connection
that many OF the movements OF the Con-
ventiOn have been very severely criticised,
and there are strong indications that the
greater part OF what the members have done
will be repudfated by large popular VOTE The
manner In which the various amendments have
been brought up has been very imperfect. For in
stance instead OF reading each section OF the old
constitution and considering 1t separately, they
let 1t pass without any such reading at all, and
simply Incorporated new clauses and amendments.
