TR5s 1LLlSO1s SHIP CANAL,

The Hon. Isaac n. Arnold Is entitled to great
credit for his pc1sc,cring and successful cf-
1orts in carrying tue five million appropriation
to- the Illinois Ship Canal. For four years he
las struggled with this task, and when most
Others looked upon it rs hopeless he sur
mounted the obstacles in his pathway and
carried Lis point-so far as the branch Of
which he is member Is concerned. The bill
nov goes to the Senate, where VIC hope Judge
T!umhuli may be equally as fortunate, though
VIC are for from being sangulue as to the re-.
suit in thut body.

the eouthern and ccnts,l portion oi the Slate tor
eaaomg oy Coy Yates In the last Senatorial elcc-
non-sp1saQaeld Journal.
We reply to this allegation 1st. The charge
that tho TRIBUNE "eeeks revenge" sc, is as
false rs 1t is absurd. Springfield and the
"ceutrM portions Of Illinois u did not cast a
vote for Yates. He got few rotcs from the
Union members Of EGYPT" but central
Illinois, including Sangamon county, yoted
solid against him. ID. The election of Gov.
Yates TO the Senate, has no more to do with
what the TRIBUNE has seid on the rcmoyal
question, than the visit OF old man Blair to
Richmond. Sd. The idea Of removing the
capital elsewhere, originated not with the
TRIBUNE, but with particular pet and pro-
1ege of Gov. Tates and quasi resident ol
Springfield. he started the project In 4 let"
ter published in the St. Louis Democrat last
November, after the election, stating
that a strong effort would certainly be made
this winter by the people Of Decatur to have
the capital removed thithcr, and further as-
serted that the Illinois Central Railroad was

We find it stated in print it is somewhat fog
81. 1t SCENE to be proposed to annex part
Of Washington to Idaho, md in yicw Of the
bill introduced into Congress by Mr.. Ashley,
Of Ohio, to incorporate the new territory Of
Wyoming, VIC infer that the division asked
for by the Idaho m emorial has taken q def
mite shape In that bill. Although We have
not get seen any authentic copy Of that bill,
we orc inclined to think its provisions include
In tue new territory ot Wyoming all North
e1n Idaho. that portion OF Montana which is
west Of the main crest Of the Rocky Noun
taius, and slice of the western part Of
Washington. To compensate for this loss Of
Territory Mt the north, most probably mart
Of Western Oregon Inns been annexed to Ida
ho. But the memorial which was before the
Idaho Legislature also prayed for the crea-
tta1 Of new territory cast Of Idaho, and this
doubtless refers to the unorganized territory
lying east Of Idaho, south OF Montana, north
Of Colorado. and west Of Dako!ah- Should
these provisions take effect, they would give

Z The Times Havana letter of the 9Th, reports
the defeat and capture of the republican Mex
lean General Ortega, in Mchoacan, and the
destruction of his army. His troops were d.
vided into three bodies to capture Moreiia, Re-
gas, and some other city, and were beaten in
detail and dispersed. -Four hundred prisoners
were laken by the Imperalists.
The republican Gen. Dias, is said to have
led the attack on Morelia, and though at first
successful, he was finally obliged to retire.
The republican General Rossels was defeated
and killed at Alamo5 in Sinaloa. eE -
The adhesion Of Lower California to the en-
pire is announced. Small bands of liberals
are said to have been dispersed at Chichotla,
Foluea and San Felipe The latter place is in
Oajaca, where they are represented to have lost
200 men.
The Liberals are also reported to have been
repulsed In an attack on Galasingo. These
statements are all on imperial authority.
Other accounts, repres ented to be later, say
the city of Michoacan is still in state Of
seige, the entertainments well guarded and
the main body of the republican troops are at
Purnandiro; also, that they are organizing a
Custom House and establishing their authori-
ty. The Imperialists are strengthening the
