Pima County "Warrants will be taken at a slight discount at this of fice for subscription or other indebt edness. Prom all reports via New Mexico, there seems to be no doubt but that ohief of Indian murderers, Cachise, has gone to Canada Alamosa Reserva tion. A letter by Indian Agent Piper to The Santa Ee Post, confirms the re ports ; and a letter to The New Mexi can of a late date says : To-day at three o'clock p. sr. the great warrior chief Cachise canieiin to the Reservation at Canada Ala mosa ; Ag.mt Piper was ready to re ceive him, having been in communi cation with him for several days past, and he came at the appointed time accompanied by about twenty of his warrior He rode up to the office of the agexicy, dismounted and walked in with marked dignity and the bear ing of a man of great force of char acter. Major Piper gate him a cordial icdcome, and they cmlraccd each other loarmly. Cachise said he had come in empty handed to make peace ; that he 3iad come here and drank of the water and felt refreshed ; would sleep con tented, and in the morning would come and have a long talk and make a treaty of peace. The pipe of peace was then smoked, in which ceremony youicorr3spondent had the pleasure of participation. Major Piper then invited Cachise and his captains to tbjie wit'i him, which invitation was accepted with pleasure. After dinner each one thanked their "Ta-ta," said they felt much contented and retired for the night. It is comforting to know that Major Piper and Cachise "embraced each Either warmly " it seems to indicate the quality of embraces the agent lcves, and for this no one has any right to find fault, and we merely re cord it as a rather uncommon social transaction. The Santa Fo papers are in ecstasies over Cachise's last act of diplomacy "We earnestly hope the old fiend may be acting in good faith, but we shall wait awhile and first see whether the peace is anything but a ruse to recruit for renewed atrocities, before we join in the peace songs our pliant Santa Ee exchanges are sing ing. If we knew nothing of the past, probably Ave would now be in rap tures at the news from Canada Ala mosa ; but with so much sad history fresh in mind and refreshed by almost every mail from the north, east a south, we prefer to go slow on the in stantaneous "embracing" process. The San Diego Daily Union and also the "Weekly have heartily and persistently advocated all Arizona in terests, and rarely failed to utter the most correct views in vigorous style. If the editor were a resident of the Territory, he could not more uniformly and correctly write up the Apache question. As a specimen sentiment of The Union, we give the following : The moment you stop to temporize with an Apache, that moment you lead him to believe you fear him, and -you make the consequence to yourself that much the greater. The only way to secure a permanent peace is to drop all this Quaker nonsense, and give the Apaches a good sound drubbing when ever they deserve it. Let them see that the Government is able, and is determined to punish them for wrong doing, and then you secure a lastin peace, and not till then. A private letter advises us that Major Dudley, Capt. Mills and Lieut. Wessells are to be tried by the Court martial now convened at Camp Mc Dowell; the first for drunkenness, sec ond for disobedience of orders and third for matters pertaining to, his management of government stores. The papers this Saturday morn ing bring no Vater news of the great calamity at Chicago, the wires being out of order. San Francisco had raised $100,000 and forwarded to the 'relief of the sufferers. ON OR OFF. In adopting the reservation system for the reception and maintenance of hitherto hostile Indians, there is but one great rule to be enforced and ab solutely known that it is strictly ob served, to insure the hearty sanction of the citizen population, and its ultimate success, and that is to compel all such Indians as go upon reserves to stay on. They must not be allowed to roam at will as at present. If a rule be adopted and rigidly enforced i'by which all Indians on reserves shall be made to report each day and an swdr to a given name or in any certain manner establish their identity, we are convinced that the citizens gen erally will give the reservation system their hearty approval. The question to be settled, is the simple one of whether the Indians are on or off their designated reserves. While depreda tions continue on every hand, and the reservation Indians are permitted as at present to roam whenever and wherever they please, the citizens will hold them responsible for a share of Indians atrocities ; in fact it is in disputably known that the reservation Apaches both in Arizona and New Mexico have repeatedly gone out and committed both thefts and murders and returned to their reserves to enjoy government food, clothing and pro tection. "We have seen with our own eyes, letters of Indian Agent Piper, of the Canada Alamosa Reserve, in New Mexico, in which he admitted that the Indians on said reserve had committed thefts in the neighboring settlements, and that in one instance a mere lack of politeness on the part of the sufferer prevented a surrender to him of his property. In Arizona, the proofs are emphatic that the In dians fed and protected at Camps Goodwin, Apache and Grant have roamed off the reserves and committed both thefts and murders. It is because of these well authen ticated facts that the citizens do not and cannot approve the prevailing reservation system. They care little for the size of the reserves, or for the undeserved good treatment shown the Indian compared to that exhibited to themselves, but they do care, and it is not in the human composition not to care, for that generous and lax system of management which makes overy reserve a secure and well-provisioned home for those who rob and mnrder them. This is what prevents har mony between the citizens and Indian agents and nothing else. The whole matter of difference rests upon the In dians' liberty to roam when and where they please, do what they choose, re turn with the spoils of theft and mur der, and never be called to account by their agents or government. This they can now do, and the managing agents of the reserves admit the facts as here stated. Let the proposition be clearly made known to the citizens and Indians that all Indians off re servs shall be treated as hostile, coupled with the undoubted enforce ment of a rule whereby every Indian who goes on the reserves professing peace may at least once each day be identified, and we now pledge the in fluence of our pen and paper to a hearty approval of the arrangement, and believe the citizens generally will also join in maintaining it. Can any fair man object to the fore going conditions to secure the har mony of the citizens with a plan which affords every possible facility for civilizing the Indians by govern ment or philanthropic men ? Can any man not an enemy to law-abiding, self-sustaining American citizens ob ject to the conditions ? "Will any just man insist tnat all rights of person and property be guaranteed the In dian and the public money be ex pended to supply all his bodily wants, and at the same time deny to the toil ing, self-sustaining, law-abiding citi zens security in their persons and property ? If not, then harmony of action on the vexed Indian question, can soon be secured between the fron tiersmen and professional and practi cal philanthropists. TnE New Mexican of October 9 carefully mentions the killing of Peliz Pino, of Valencia county, by a party of Navajo Indians professing to be friendly ; also that the same party of peaceable brothers of the forest called upon several boys in charge of a herd of sheep, and The Mexican proceeds to thus explain : They declared themselves to be peaceful Indians, and asked the herd ers for something to eat, as the latter were preparing some food they were seized by the Navajos, stripped of their clothing and arms, and bound; the In dians then seperated about two hun dred sheep from the flock and started for the river ; while on the road they saw Pino, who was on horseback, ap proaching ; they then hid themselves behind some rocks by the roadside and as Pino came up shot him dead from their ambush. The Navajos then left the sheep they had taken from the herd, and taking the horse starttd westward, crossing the Rio Grande near the Bosque de Belen. From all appearances Pino was shot- before he had time to make a movement tor de fense or escape. The boys finally suc ceeded in freeing themselves from their bonds, and brought the informa tion into the settlements. The trail of the Indians was followed, but they could not be overtaken. TnE Citizen moves that Agent Piper embrace these wards warmly and then announce another triumph of the Peace Policy. Ugh ! The New York Tribune says : Senator Logan is authority for a story that the ""White Earth Indian Reservation," in Dakota, is run by a ring whose exactions are so grinding that an outbreak may be expected at any moment. "We have .not the slightest doubt of the truth of Senator Logan's "story." Nearly every advocate of the ordinary reservation system is a man who practices grinding exactions and is re sponsible for ten times the Indian out breaks that arise from all ether causes. Grinding exactions, if nothing else, will ere long induce Cachise's and other bands of Arizona and New Nexico Indians to resume the war path. Note this prediction, reader. The Arizona Miner of last Satur day comes to us this morning filled with matter pertaining to the Indian question, and an account of the In dians attacking in force the settlers in Kirkland Yalley, and compelling the women and children to flee to Camp Date Creek for safety on the same day that Yincent Colyer passed through the valley ; also that the men who remained were refused any relief by the troops at Date Creek as is re ported because of Colyer's influence. It is plain that Yincent Colyer is like the Apaches a determined enemy of the citizens of Arizona, and that for the first time in our nation's his tory the United States troops on the frontier are made to aid murder and theft by merciless savages.
