CALIFORNIA. 



CARAFA, MICHAEL H. 



1. That it is the duty of the Government of the 

 United States to give the most prompt and efficient 

 protection to the people of Arizona against the Apa- 

 che Indians ; that all attempts to treat with or other- 

 wise appease them, until they are made to feel the 

 power of the Government, will prove futile in the 

 future, as they have in the past, and roust result 

 only in encouraging these savages to continue deeds 

 of carnage. 



2. That in no other way can this protection be so 

 promptly and efficiently extended to our suffering 

 brethren in Arizona, as by furnishing General 

 Crook with ample means, and by giving him the 

 largest discretion in the course to be pursued toward 

 the savages. 



3. That the President of the United States be and 

 he is hereby urged and implored to prevent further 

 interference with the military operations of General 

 Crook, otherwise than by aiding his designs, until 

 these savages are subdued, and the people of Arizona 

 are made secure in their life, homes, and property. 



4. That his Excellency the Governor of this State 

 be requested to telegraph these resolutions and the 

 preamble to the same to the President of the United 

 States ; that he cause to be sent copies of the same 

 to each of the Senators and Representatives in Con- 

 gress of the Pacific States and Territories, and to 

 each of the Governors of the same; and that our 

 Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Kepre- 

 sentatives be requested, to urge upon the Govern- 

 ment at Washington such action in the premises as 

 is indicated by these resolutions.

CARAFA, MICHAEL HENRY, an Italian mu- 

 sician and musical composer, born in Naples 

 November 28, 1785 ; died in Paris July 26, 1872. 

 He received his first instruction in music at 

 the College of La Nunziatella, and subsequently 

 entered the Conservatoire of Loretto. lie 

 was in the army of Joachim Murat, attained 

 the rank of captain of hussars, and was in 

 the Russian campaign of 1812. After the res- 

 toration of the Bourbon branch at Naples, 

 Carafa retired from military service, and re- 

 sumed his career as a composer. His first 

 work was "11 Vascello d'Occidente," at the 

 Fondo, Naples, in 1814, followed by the "Ge- 

 losia Corsetta" in 1815, "Gabriella di Vergi" 

 in 1816, "Iphigenia in Tauride"in 1817, and 

 in subsequent years, "Adele di Lusignano, 1 - 

 "Berenice in Siria," u Elizabetta," and "Gli 

 due Figari," all brought out in Italy. In 1821 

 he went to Paris, and at the Opera Comique 

 produced "Jeanne d'Arc," succeeded by the 

 "Solitaire" in 1822, the libretto by Planard. 

 The " Solitaire" was the most popular of his 

 operas. Scribe and Melesville supplied him 

 with the libretto of the "Valet de Chambre" 

 in 1823. In the following year "L'Auberge 

 Suppose'e " appeared. His next venture was 

 at the Academie Royale de Musique, in 1825, 

 with " La Belle au Bois Dormant." He com- 

 posed for Naples, " Tamerlane ; " for Rome, 

 "La Cappriciosa ed il Soldato " and " Eufemio 

 di Messina," and "Abufar" for Vienna. In 

 1825 he had " II Sonnambulo," for Milan, and 

 in 1826 "II Paria," for Venice. He then 

 ceased to write for his native country, and in 

 1827 his three-act opera, "Masaniello," was 

 represented at the Op6ra Comique in Paris, 

 which work, full of beauty as it was, was ex- 

 tinguished by Auber's "Muette de Portici." 

 His prolific pen did not, however, cease; " Vi- 

 olette " and " Jenny " followed. In 1829 he 

 set Sir Walter Scott's romance, "The Bride of 

 Lammermoor," for the Italian Opera in Paris, 

 and in this " Nozze di Lammermoor " Madame 

 Sontag was the Lucia. He selected another 

 of Scott's novels, "La Prison d'Edinbourg," 

 for the Salle Favart in 1833. The music allot- 

 ted to Effie and Jenny Deans was much ad- 

 mired, and there was a fine finale to the sec- 

 ond act. His other operas were " L'Orgie," 

 "Le Livre de 1'Ermite," "L'Auberge d'Au- 

 ray," " Une Journe'e de La Fronde," " La 

 Grande Duchesse ; " his last opera was " The"- 

 re"se," in 1838. He composed, at the request 

 of Rossini, some ballet music, when the French 

 version of " Semiramide " was produced at 

 the Grand Opera-house, for the sisters Carlot-
