wlid arc interested in

in secret conclave, for tlio reason that, at
present,
there is but one big buy 1 r in the
government and It buys in iich a
in.irhui
way as not to bring its ngunb moo to
face with tho producers. It will employ
middle-men to do this work for it, und, as
some of thcso havo vast quantities of last
year's grain, etc., still on their hands, for
which they huvo paid cither cash or goods,
the contest between such men promises to bv
us bitter as ever, and, it is to such men the
Minuu wishes to address itself, ns follows ;
Las; year's crop was, we all know, an un
common lar;o one, which, owing to the
withdrawal of several companies of cavalry
from tho Territory, to tho stoppage of work
by tlio ulture mid otuer mining companies,
tias not been used up. '1 lus year, the case
will bo quite diUcrvnt, as, owing to the dam
ago done grain, etc., In the fields of Salt Riv
er and tho Gila, by tho recent destructive
Hoods, scarcely one-half the quantity ot bar
ley ra sod and Harvested last year, in tnoso
great granaries, will this year be raised, so
that barley is not likely to be the "drug in
tho market" it last year was. Nor, is it
probable that any great amount of com will
bo raised in this upper country, since tlio in
ducement for raising it aro not great. Hero,
then is a basis to work upon. io surplus
grain can this year bo looked for; not one
pound of gram which will not be needed by
government and citizens, so that no matter
who gets the contracts for turning it in, lie
or they will have to havo it all to Mill the bill.'
This being tho case, why cannot those who
design proposing, exchange views witu onc-
another, llx upon prices at which grain, etc.
cannot be brought hero at a prolit, lroui .New
Mexico, and bid for contracts upon this basis.
ibis price will have to be low, owing to tile
fact that labor, etc., in New Mexico, costs
scarcely anything, and prices of store goods
aro much lower than those which rule among
us. But, even these advantages which New
Mexico possesses, are overbalanced by the
length, roughness and perils of the roads her
teams would have to traverse in reaching all
the posts and settlements in this Territory,
save Apache, Bowio and, perhaps, San Carlos.
Of course, we do not favor anything like the
forming ot a combination to force from gov
eminent anything like extortionato prices.
No Anzonan wants this : nor docs govern
ment care to cramp tho producer by getting
his gram at less price than he can afford to
raise und sell it.
To conclude, prices of everything, save
farm products havo been, are yet, very high
all over tho Territory : the partial suspension
of mining ; the drouth in this upper country;
the great floods in the lower country, and
many other depressing causes make it actu
ally necessary that this should bo a year of
prosperity, and it can only bo made bo in
the way above indicated.
Wc note the lollowiug, trom articles re
cently published iu tlio Arizona Citizen, of
Tucson :
Mr Jas Lee, a very worthy citizen, is aa-

It is in doubt as to tho policy of giving all

War Department and its olllcers. So arc we,
but, knowing tho frauds practiced by civil'

would not object should Comn-ess make
tho change and give the military a chance to
to do tho fair thing by the savages. Certain
it is, if all ofliccrrf wero liko General Crook,
and could all military departments bo " run '
as this is, the changt) would bo for tho better.
As matters now iro. tho military have to do
all tho work ot uuforcint; obedience upon al
most all tho reserves, and when Indians leave
said reserves, for purposes ol murder or
plunder, the military havo 110 recourse but to
uncounter danger, fatigue and exposure in
bringing them back, or killing them, so that,
considering that the military havo now more
than two-thirds of the caio necessary to keep

Lai 1 forma:
Sir: I have tho honor to state that ow
ing to the fact that tho Chiricahua Rcserva
tion. although in this Department, is not un
dor mt suncrvision. I havo carefully refrained
Irom doing or reiwrung anyiiiiiig in rcgaru
, .
to the state of all'airs at that place, but its
close proximity to the San Carlos and White
Mountain reservations and tho demoralizing
effect Caclnse's band has upon these rcserva
tions, compels mo to call attention to that
matter.
When tho Indians from tho San Carlos and
Whito Mountain reservations visit Cochise's
he is ablo to give them fino presents of horses,
probably just stolen iroin aonora. Thoyaro
thus impressed with thu idea that tho troops
are afraid of Cachise, or thoy would not per
mit him to raid ou Moxieo, and doubtless
somo of them join lum in his ruidg.
It is charged, with how much truth I am
unable to say, as 1 am not awaro that any ro
sponsiblo officer, civil or military, over vcri
fles tho facts by count, that the number of
Indians actually upon this reservation is
much less than thu number for whom rations
aro drawn, and even then a number belonging
to tho baud, and lor whom rations aro drawn
arc absent most of the tunc.
It must bo remembered that Indians can
neither read nor write, and all fino shades of
diplomacy aro lost on them ; they understand
either tho one thing or the ather, thcro is no
intermediate meaning with them. Caclilse
only sees in this transaction that tho Presi
dent sent a General officer to hunt him up
and make penco with him on lus own terms,
which terms ho understands to mean, "feed
and protect mo whilo I raid on Mexico aud
I will let you alono."
There Is no process of reasoning fehort of
subjugation, which can convinco Cachiso that
wo arc not alranl of him.
I am satisfied any nttcmpt on our part to
prevent his raiding on Mexico will bo regard
eil as u violation ol tho terms ol his peace
with General Howard and will provoke his
outbreak.
In this connection I would remind tlio
.Commanding - General that for a long
time 1 have labored hard by personal
exertions to preserve our friendly to
latlona willi Mexico, nt least on this lwrj.,
mid believe that in ectcnil instance,
havo prevailed raids from Merit,
