YOB VICE-PRESIDENT, CHESTER A. ARTHUR, of New York. A xew town in Hancock county, Tows, was named “Garfiold” a fow days ago. Taux tidal wase of emigration is un- sbated, Daring the past week ten first-class ocean steame's bave em- brked 3,638 passengers in the Mercey for the United States and Canads. The report #ant out from Galena thst Graot had doclersd his intention to support Hancock for president, is denied. It srose from him giving it a8 his opinion that Hancock would be elected. — [Aesociated Press Dispa‘ch. This explanation is, to say theleast, Dot a very creditable ons to the gen eral—whnse opivion on the presiden- tis] race—will not do to bet on. It was the geveral's opinion that he would be put on the track for a third- term, but he sadly miscalcuated. Durixo the visit of Governor Foc- ter, of Obio, to New York City a few daya ago, be stated in the presence of Uvited States Marshal Russell, of Texas, and others that wheu the vote began to roll in for General Garfeld ! the Chicago convention the geveral was sitting by “‘my side and turned deatbly pile.” After recovering from the shock, continued the gover- nor, Garfeld exclaimed: “For God's sk, can it be possible that Shermon will thiak I have proved untrue to him?” Tax democratic payers—edited for t 1 moet part by moss-backed copper- hsads—are quoting the following eeu- fiment of President Hayes, when in t1e army, sgawst General Garfield: Any man who would leave the army wt this time to electicnser for congress «r any other place ought to be soaiped. Yours, R. B. Hayes. Now, the fact is that General Gar- field did not leave the army to elec- tioneer for himself. He was eclected while in the field, without solicitation ©n his part or sy interraption of his duties. He remsined in the army T1ore than & year sfter his election. He resigned at last most reluctantly, ©01 the advice of General Rosecrans and President Lincoln, the republican mjority in congress in 1863 having been reduced t> twenty-two, and the need of good talkers who knew some- thng of acmy matters being moct pressing. Goneral Garfield on the military committee probably did greater service to the country than ke . uld have done in the field. —— Usper the vew law that has re- c.utly been enacted by the New York legislature an income tax of five mills 1 imposed upon the following corpor- ations: Railroad, stesmboat, cans), ferry, express navigation, transports- tion, and elevated railway companies, sud every other corporation, joint «tock company or association doirg basiness in that state, and owning, operating, or leasing to or from an- other corporation, joint stock compa- ny, or association, any railroad, cana), stowmbot, ferry, express, pavigation, p peline or transportation route or line, or elovated railway, or other dovice for the transportation of freight or pamengers, or in any way engaged in the business of transportiog freight or passengers, and every telegraph and telephcns com- pany, and every express, palace car, or sleeping car company, incorporated o: unincorporated. This tax of one- Balf of 1 per cent. is to be imposed up- on the “‘gross earnings for tolls,tra: portation, telegraph, or express busi- mess transacted .in this state.” Ex- preas, palace, and sleeping car com- panies and freight lines are allowed to deduct the expebses paid to sny ‘common earrier for transportation up- on such business within the state. Ttis expresily provided, however, that this income tax shall not ““be held to apply to sny street surface railroad.” — Tz Lincoln Journal states—on re- Fiable authority, it eays,—that the B. & M. railroad company will establish in that city, at an early day, the most stock yards in the west. The extensive Journal says: 'We understand inducements will be held out to cattle men in the western of the stateand Colorado to ship t, and thus make it the market between Chicago that compels Nebraska csttlemento patronize the Dillon tion of the robbers toll gate in front of Omsha where ten dollars sudacious pirates exaot for two miles travel from unsuspes travelers who peglect to buy a travs‘er ticket at the depot for aquarter.

There is, however, much room for improvemeut. The high ool commencement, ik the sky rocket display Thursdsy night in honor of Hancock and English, was a showy demonstration. These com- mencement exhibiticns gotten up wmerely for dramatic effect, chsrm the eyeand ear but fail to exhibit what the friends of popular education most deaire to see—the prectical test of the scholarship in the branches that will make intalligenr, self-susta’ning men and women of our girls aad bogs. Recitaticns and eszays by a few “grad- uites,” carefully and elaborately pre- pared for theoccasion, do not enlight- en us as to the fund of ussful knowl- edge acquired in our schools.

Parties just returned from Tuc- son report that the work is progressing rapidly down the Rio Graude in the direction of El Paso, and that the griding is completed eighty miles suth to Albuquerqus, and from oae and a half to* two and a quarter miles of frack is now be ing luid per day. Work is slso pro- gressing on the Kingman survey as far west as New Fort Wingate, about miles west of Albuquerque. This is thercute which was sucveyed by Mr. Kirgman last summer. It passes through the southern portion of the San Carlos Indian reservrtion, oroeses the White river mountains above San Carlos, down into Gils canyon to & pointa few miles above old Camp Grant and thencs aronnd the western base of the Santa Catarina mountains to Tacson. Mr. Thorntonand a survey- ing parly have gone to Guaymas, whero the preliminary work has been commenccd for the construction of the road from that place east. Contrary to general supposition, it is not going to stop at the end of the diyision of thirty miles, but will be pushed on east or north to Arizona as fast as the grading can be done. There will be two surveys made — ose to the Rio Grande, to strike some sixty miles north of El Paso, and ono to Tucson. It is mot positively known that the northern branch is to be ex- tended to Tucson, but it is the gen- eral impression of all the men'con- nected with the road that it is to go direct to Tucson, and that branch will bebuilt from the main line west of Prescott, which will aftord an outlet] for the northera portion of the terri- tory. Sr. Lours will employ the letter- carriers to take her cemsus. Fight thousand dollars have been sabacribed for this purpose by the citizena of St, Lous.
