THE PRESS ON COLTER.
The San Francisco Bulletin, the
most staid and careful journal in the
country in its criticisms, under the
title of "Arizona Waiting," on the
2 1st of October, just about the time the
noted savage ally was in San Fran
cisco on his way eastward, spoke of
him and his untrue reports as follows :
Quickly following Vincent Colyer's
bland proclamation ot peace m Ari
zona, good will to red men, comes the
expected announcement of another
attack by the Apaches on the mail
carriers, who however, this time, for
tunately got off with both their scalps
and letters. It would be ra&h to con
clude from this single incident that
the Peace Commissioner has not ac
complished all he claims, and is not
entitled to write back to Washington,
slightly changing the famous lacon
isni of Cesar, Veni, Yidi, Vincent.
At last accounts, General Crook had
suspended hostile operations in order
to give the Peace Commissioners full
swing ; but Ave are reliably informed
that the General, in view of the fact
that the Apaches have warred upon
Mexicans for more than a hundred
years, upon our own people in Arizona
ever since they began to occupy it,
and have repeatedly violated pledges
of peace and friendship, thinks they
can hardly be expected to keep faith
Je has been represented as
saying the Apacues are not as black
as they are painted whereas he really
regards them as treacherous savages,
with whom a lasting peace can only
be made by conquest at arms, which
he had prepared for, and was confident,
until Colyer's arrival, he could speed
ily effect.
It has been stated, also, that Gen
eral Crook approved the action of
Captain .Nelson, commanding at Camp
Grant, in prohibiting the approach of
armed bodies ot citizens, prospecting
and traveling parties, within ten miles
or his post. The truth is that Gen
eral Crook condemned this action, and
so informed Captain Nelson, statin
that the effect of "his order was virtually
to forbid the passage of any citizen
on the public highway from Tucson
to Florence. This road goes within
four miles of Camp Grant, and all
travelers over it are compelled by the
circumstances of the territory to go
armed. General Urook was anxious
that every possible assistance should
be given to the Peace Commissioners
that nothmg should be done to inter
fere with their plans, and that they
should be treated with perfect courtesy
ana respect, as Air. Colyer s JLos An
geles telegram says they were ; but
no did not approve arbitrary measures
towards the settlers, nor countenance
an order likely to provoke their hos
tility.
It is duo to the long suffering peo-
pie of Arizona that these corrections
should be made. ItJ has been too
much tho habit lately to represent
tneni.'as lawless and violent, and as
provokers ot trouble with the In.
dians. The truth is that no Territorv
can snow a more orderly and credita
ble record. Most ot its settlers are
picked men, intelligent and coura
eous, and bent upon industrious de
velopment of mineral resources which
they know to be unsurpassed in
wealth. Since the Territory was or
ganized in 1863, with the exception of
one Postmaster and United States
Marshal, there has not been the least
defalcation. The Territory is out of
debt, a free school system is being put
in practical oiieration, and in spite of
THE
the great losses sustained from con
stant depredations by the Indians and
Mexican border outlaws, the citizens
have paid all Federal taxes freely.
and only in a single instance have
they stepped outside the Courts for the
redress ot any grievance, while m the
same period nearly every other State
and Territory have had recourse to
mob lav, and found defenders in. the
most respectable journals.
The massacre at Camp Grant was
guilty act, which we do not excuse.
and which was disapproved by a large
majority of the American citizens in
the Territory. It should not be
quoted as a reproach against the
whole people, especially by those
whose mission is to do justice and
make peace. The only offense of the
Arizonians is that they are on the
frontier trying to better their fortunes
under appalling obstacles. This
hardly deserves threats of martial
law and bayonet coercion, from Gov
ernment agents who profess to be
apostles of benevolence and humanity
We repeat here what wo have said
often before : we rejoice in the dispo
sition of the Government to deal
justly and kindly by the Indians
everywhere, and hope that the troub
les in Arizona may really be settled
without more slaughter; but while
efforts to this end are making,
should be taken lest injustice be done
to our own people, who are entitled to
at least as much consideration as the
The above is sensible, true and just
and now we shall givo some extracts
from The Alta California which has
never wearied in doing noble battle for
Arizona. On the receipt of the basely
false in all essential particulars tele
gram from Los Angeles, and which
was dictated by Colyer, Tho Alta re
cites the substance of his despatch and
says:
"We attach no importance to his sue
cess and have no faith in his peace,
If his Hying trip should result in the
pacification of tho Apaches, he would
deserve the reputation ol having at
tained a success without parallel in
the Indian affairs of the United States
Ho could truly say that he came, saw
and conquered. He made a flying
trip from East to West, through a ter
ritory 400 miles long, on the meridian
and infested over the greater part ot
its area by savages, who have lor more
than a hundred years been engaged
m active ana aggressive nostmties
with tho Spaniards, Mexicans and
Americans.
The main question with us is not
whether they have good qualities, but
whether they will keep the peace. We
do not think they are at peace to-day,
Mr. Colyer made no treaty ; it does
not appear from his statement that
he saw the Ghieis ot one-iourtii or the
tribes, or that he saw any of the lead
ing warriors : or that tnero is any
security whatever that they will all
go upon reservations or stay there
Wo do not comprehend why Mr. Col
yer was in such a hurry to leave Ari
zona. If he has a great genius for
preserving the peace, he should stay
there. He cannot earn a salary for
tho Government so well elsewhere
He owes it to himself to complete his
work.
The next mail bags may bring us
word that (Jachise is still on tho war
path, and we fear that we shall be told
that the white men are to blame. If
Mr. Colyer knew that his peace was a
humbug and would only last till ins
presents of food were consumed, and was
not respected by any save the non-com
batants, it would be very convenient;
for him to leave Arizona-in a hurry and
try to throw the responsibility of a
renewal, of the hostilities on somebody
else. "We put the responsibility on him ;
if the hostilities are renewed we shall
denounce his peace as a farce, and if
on the other hand the farmers and
miners of Arizona should henceforth
be permitted to pursue their avocations
in peace so long as they keep off tho
reservations, then we shall admit that
Vinsent Colyer has rendered a most
important service to the Government
and the Pacific Slope. We fear that
wo shall never need to make this ad-

In fact the Indian Department has

and the Government with equal
unscrupulousness.
