The Troublesome Apaches of Arizona. Major General Schofeld’s report on the present Condition of military and Indian affairs in Arizona, Says that a stato of war with the Apacics haa existed for many years; the troops have been con- Stantly in the fleld, incurring extraordinary losses @nd expenses; the remoteness of the scene of hos- tilities from the sources of supply necessitates very large expenses for transportation, The necessary result 18, that whether she troops in Arizona be few Or many their cost per man must be much greater than the average of the entire army, which dispro- Portion ts still more increased ky the cost of con- stant, active operations against the Indians. During the years 1869 and 1870 a@ large proportion of the Apaches were gathered on tempo- rary reservations near certain designated military posts, but some thousands still re- mained at large and committea depredations ‘whenever opportunity offered, The belief that some of these depredations were committed by Indians from these reservations was given as an excuse for acts on the part of some of the people of Arizona no less barbarous than those which characterize the Apaches. These Indians on the reservations pald for @ large part of the rations issued to them by supplying nay and wood at much less cost to the gov- ernment than that paid to the contractors to vhe Military posts, Ithas been suggested that this may explain the Camp Grant mussacre, The meagre Appropriation tor the Quartermaster’s Department for the years 1870 and 1871 rendered necessary a great reduction of expenses in Arizona. A portion the troops were withdrawn, unnecessary posts were abandoned, expensive depots that could he dispensed with were broken up and economy practised. Immediately foltow- ing this reduction reports of Indian outrages in Arizona were multiplied and loud protests Grose from the people of that territory, accompanied by denunciations of the Department Commander (General Stoneman). Then followea the Camp Grant Massacre, which General Schofleld reports in some detail, A few days later news was received from Camp Apache, near by, that the Apaches had broken out in open war. The vigorous measures promptly adopted by the depariment commander, General Crook, were sufficient to deter the large majority of the Indians from engaging in war, Whe the efforts of the Indian Peace Commissioner and officers of army to convince the In«ians of the good faith and humane purpose of the government seem to have been successiul. It Is reported that nearly ail the Arizona Apaches fave gone upon the reser- vations designated, and hopes are entertained of a lasting peace. Tho Cherokee Delegation and Matters in the Indiana Territory. The Cherokee Indian Nation have matotained a delegation at the capital since 1863 during the Con- gressional session. The delegates for the present year have all arrived but one. William P. Ross, the present chicf, and Captain Benge, with Colonels Vaun and Adair, represent the two wings of the Nation, The delegatuon express considerable anx- lety as to the probable course of Indian legislation | during the ensuing session. The Indian Territory is represented asin both a quiet and prosperous condition, and complaint is made of reports which have circulated of alleged lawlessness. Most of the arrests which have been paraded in the newspapers really grow out of violations of the intercourse lawson the part of white tresspassers and travellers, It is the object o/ the railroad ring who are trying to secure the opening of the Indian lands to general settlement to impress Congress and the country with the idea that the state of society is too bad to be properly controlled by such governments as the indian nations possess. ‘he Cherokees will urge some amendments to, as well as tne codification, of the intercourse laws, The constitution for an Indian confederation, adopted last year by the Oklahoma General Council, was ratified by the Cuerokee House of Representatives, but lost in their Council by @ tle vote. ‘The cause of this was the changes made in the bill, proposing a Territorial Goreme by which the President was to appoint ihe Governor and other oificers, instead of their being elected by the Indians, as their system pro- posed.

The error claimed 13 that the Court admitted the testimony of the com- pany'’s indebtedness to the plaintiff’ without first requiring Young’s connections with it to be sufl- ciently shown.

The Printing Burean Atl Right. ‘The committee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury toexamine the affairs of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, after a thorough inves:i- gation, lasting a week, Lave found everything cor- rect.

Warning Sianals to Ships at Sen. Mr. Theodore F. Townsend, observer in charge of the Signal OMce at Cape May City, N. J., has sub- mitted to the Central Office, in Washington, a plan by which ships at sea, within sight of land, from ten miles south of Cape Henlopen to New York city, may be warned of approaching danger from his office by the use of General Myer’s system of signals, which are to be repeated from lighthouses and Iffe-saving stations along the coast. It has been submitted to the Treasury Department by the Chief Signal OMcer, with a few additional practical sug- gestions, and will probably be adopted. An ex- tended use of Mr. Townsend's plan will enable shipping off the whole coast of the United States to take advantage of the predictions of the Signal Corps, Which how amount to almost absolute cer- tainties, The Cross Ledge Lightship.

He died early on Thuraday morning at his country seat in Jamaica, Long Island. He had risen to walk across the room, but, finding lumself too weak, re- turned to his bed, and, after a brief gasp. ing for inil return of breath, died with out struggie or pain—full of his wontea mental energy tothe last, Although Mr. Hackett Was a New Yorker born and bred, and in this city is his ample estate, he always preferred Jamaica as @ residence, because it was the home of his mater- nal ancostora, There lived the distinguished Keteltas family, whose name is borne ag # middie one by our Recorder (the only surviving son Of the deceased). ‘The mother of the latter was a daughter of a Knickerbocker domimie—the Rev. Abraham Keteltas. Thus the Cuurch aided to fos- ter a votary of the stage. The father was a British oMlcer of Irish descent, who came to New York shortly alter the Revolutionary War and who had served in the Life Guard of the Prince of Orange. On this side of the house, indeed, Mr. Hackett was of novle lineage. When he visited Europe the second ume he 1ustituted inquiries, at | the request of his motrer, which resulted 1m show. ing that he was the rightiui heir to the titles and honors of “Baron Hackett, of Hackettstown, county Carlow, and Shelton Abbey, county Wicklow, Ireland.” This. family is one of the best in the Emerald Iste, and was founded by one of the great Norman orons who came over with William the First, and whose namo sul appears head- img the Conqueror’s roll of his six and thirty nobles and generals, inscribed A, D, 1066 upon the pillar erected at sattle Abbey, near Hastings, Eugiand. One of the pro- geny of this distingatshed warrior accompanied Henry IL. in his famous Irish expedition, obtained vast estates as reward for his services and founded the branch of the family of which Mr. Hackett was the representative, All of the above facts were pab- lished In the London Court Journal in 1839, aud are undoubtedly authentic, James H, Hackett was born at No. 72 Wil- Ham street, He came in with the century, and at the time of his death was therefore seventy- one years old. His education began at a famous academy in Jamaica, and for ashort time he was matriculated in Columota College; but he did not graduate, and entered a law office, Mr. Hackett was essentially Bohemianish throughout life. He soon wearled of red tape and formulas and became a merchant's clerk. Irresistibly he was drawn to- ‘Ward the theatre and became a frequent habilue of the old Park. While only nineteen years old be saw and immediately fell in love with and soon married one of the most charin- ing vocalists and actresses of that day— Miss Katharine Lee Sugg, who had recently arrived from England with her sister, Mrs. Sharpe, another famous actress. Miss Lee Sugg was of excellent English family, highly educated, of sprightly man- ner, and with an irresistible fascination and mag- netism of demeanor, Halleck, in his “Croakers,’”’ thus portrayed her:— ‘There's sweet Miss Lee Sugg—by the by, she's not pretty; She's w Little too large and has not tuo much grace ; hero's something about her so witching and witty, ‘118 pleasure to gaze on her good-humored face, “She was in fact and here we quote the famous dramatic critic lreiand) the very Hebe of actresses.” Her forte was comedy; her merry, romping country lasses have never since been equalled. Her noble contralto voice attracted uniform applause, She Possessed considerable science and skill as @ mu- sician, and may be considered in style and piquancy of acting the best Kosina of the English version of “The Barber of Seviile.’”’ Sle had been tatroduced to the stage In her seventh year. and was Known tn the British provinces as “The Infant Billington,” Here it may be remarked that ali of her bes! quail- tues have been perfectly reproduced in one of her liv- ing descendants; ana this extended relerence to Mrs. Hackett 18 not out of place, because this marriage undoubtedly cuused her liusband to become an actor, Soon alter the marriage vhe later engaged in mercantile pursuits at Utica, in the interior; but, Bohemian like, he sighed for New York excitements, aud returuea to them aiter five years’ absence, in 1825. In the following year, however, he failed, and, after honorable seitiemeat with credtiors, allowed his wife to retarn to the Park stage, “Where her powers as a vocalist and comic actress again suone forth in tull maturity, and for several years she was one of the first favorites of the town.’ Her husband made a déput im the exceedingly comic, but rather inconsiderable, part ot Justice Wood- Cock, In tho musical burietta of “Love in a Village.”? But stage trigut was too much for success, although the critics were kind eaough to notice the strug- gling aptituae for humorous expression in tace, voice and action, for whose development he aiter- wards became famous. However, his own pluck and his wiie’s persuasions gave him a second attempt in bis twenty-sixth year, on the occasion of his Wite’s benefit, At this he appeared as Sylvester Daggerwood and gave excellent mimicry of Mathews, Kean, Hi'soa, Jack Barnes and otuer actors well kuown to the New York public. This proved to be a hit, and he now adopted the profession. Within the year he dis- played the versatility of performing, with un- doubted success, a Yankee part, @ Scotch part, a French one (Mons, Tonson) and also one of the Dro- mios. So rapid was his advancement that in the Next year, by engagement of Price & Simpson, he went to London, at one of the theatres controlled by the former, and was favorably received, His dia ect minucry was aiways remarkable, and yet it was only an instance of inherited lingual faciity, because his grandfataer—the Dowinie Keteltas first named—spoke and wrote several languages and Indian dialects, and nad frequently preached in French, Dutch aud English on the same Sunday. Returning to New York Mr. Hackett rewrote Colnan’s “Who Wants a Guinea?’ substivuting tor the original Solomon Gundy a live, cute Yankee (ag he was known to Sam Slickiles, stage writers and Mra. ‘Troilope), under the cognomen of Solomon Swop. He also had irv- ing’s “Rip Van Winkle” dramatized, and for many years it Wags as much his peculiar and ackuowl- edged partas is now Boucicauit’s version exciu- sively awerded to Jefferson’s portraiture. Mr, Hack- ett also had writen up tor nlm (aiding himself in the matter) a Western role, as Nimrod Wilddre. Thus it wes that Mr. Hackett essentially wou for himself the title of American comedian, because his earliest efforts were devoted to reproducing and. emphasizing comic tndividuailty in American Ite, With mercantile remembrances Mr. Hackett essayed Management many tines throughout his career, but none oi his ventures, with the exception of starring De Soto, the danseuse, and Mario and Grisi, were at ail successful. At various times from 1829 to 1855 he has managed the Old Chatham, Bowery, Charch street National, Ntblo’s and Astor piace theatres in this city, and also one in Boston and New Orleans. Still pre-eminently success.ut 1m dialect parts, he added O’Catlaghan, in bis “Last Legs,” as a bit of irishism, and also the Scotch role of Sir Pertinax MacSycophant, in “Man of the World.” The former dle was not @ happy one for im, perhaps because he had Tyrone Powers to con- tend against; but bis Sir Pertinax—as we have heard Mr. Gerard, the veteran critic of the drama, admit—was positively unapproachable by any one since the days of Macklin. Fuaistaff, however, was reserved to become his world-renowned role, and Hackett and Falstaff became as convertible terms in dramatic citcles as are Sotuern and Dundreary, th and Hamlet, Lester Wallack and Don Cwsar de Bazan, or Jefferson and Rip Van Winkle. George Wilkes, in his Spurve af the Times, February, 1862, said thereon: — 1 believe that could Shakspeare see his plays as they are performed in owr dav be would esteem Huekatt as the best exponent of one of the most delightful didicult of bis characters that hae trod the slage since his bones were laid by Avon's side, Nor will this actor's fame be evanescent, ia my opinion. From the very nature and degree of it he is without a rival living; he will never be without admirers dead , When he and you and | and sixty years have gone, old gen- tlemen will ney to the play-goer of the day, “I saw Hackett in Falatad, a was ine finest Sir John’ that ever enacted the charact And when sixty times sixty years bave clapsed 1 bave tittle doubt but the dramaiie critic and anti. quary will decture “the real Falstaf died with Hackett, and ‘one of Shakspeare’s masterpieces is, as yet, no more.” The acconnt of how he came to essay the part is best given by Mr. Hackett, in his own words, sev- real years ago:— Late in the month of May, 1831, while Charles Kean and myselt were staring upon ‘alteruate nights at the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and were fellow guesia in Head's Mansion House—then the most favorite hovel of that city—we strolied about the town together. In the course of ome!
