THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The letters of Mr.. Bayard Taylor and of
our regular correspondent in Philadelphia
bring some cheering intelligence from
the great exhibition. Tardy as our peo-
ple have been in transporting their
wares to the place provided for them, there is
still a fair chance that the show will make a
creditable opening. If we are slow in begin
ming, we are quick when we are once at work.
Already the chaos is forming itself into ORDER

confusion, the long vistas of the Main Hall

"lio charities but as any scheme Oh the
"kind propose will need considerable thought
90 and elaboration, have made my will with the
"codicils in the present shape to guard against
"any contingency, knowing may rely upon
"your supplying all Deficiencies on my part"
That was two years ago. Mr. Stewart
had long made q close study OF charitable en-
terprises, and he was an old man. But day
after day there was still need of further
@DGght and elaboration, further discussion
and inquiry. He was remarkable in his busl-
ness affairs for the promptness of his decisions,
but in this undertaking death surprised him
still celebrating after years OF delay
II was his boast that his mercantile
transactions were regulated by the most exact
system. and not O man in his establishments
was allowed to exercise his own discretion !;
but he left fifty millions at last to be disposed
of according TO a mere understanding Of
what his wishes would be if he had the task
to perform himself Nothing in Mr.. Stewards
career is half so strange as this will. 1t con-
tradicts his whole life.
Whether public charities will derive any
considerable advantage from the injunction
imposed upon Mrs. Stewart is point upon
which it does not become us to inquire 700
curiousy. 1t may safely be assumed that the VIE
in whom the dead millionaire reposed such trust
and confidence knows quite well what his pur-
noses were and will faithfully carry them out.
II seems to have been assumed that the charl-
table requests, in any case, would be very
large. We see no sound reason for such an
expectation. The richest men are apt to DC
tenacious of their right to do what they please
with their OVID, and sometimes they give less
than their natural disposition would prompt
them to give, just because public opinion is
arrogant enough to declare that they ought to
give more. There is nothing in the will or the
letter to show whether the unexplained de-
signs of benefcence were on a large scale or a
small one, whether they called for thousands
or for millions.

EAILIREN.

Twenty eight hundred failures in three
months, The statement would hardly be cred
tied but for the established reputation for ac-
curacy of Mr. Wiman. the statistician of Dun.
Barlow 81 CO., whose quarterly circular was
issued yesterday. In number, the failures re-
ported by this agency for the quarter ending
March 81 exceed those of any previous quar-
ter since its valuable records have been pub
lished. The nearest approach was IN the last
quarter of 1875, when the failures in the
United States numbered 2,4O5. The total for
tn last six months is 5,211, number ex-
ceeded by only three full years in our history.
In magnitude of liabilities, however, the fail
urcs of the first quarter of 1876 fall below
those of the last quarter of 1875 by six mil
lions. Comparisons, in this case, are decidedly
odious but quite instructive and the following
statement of failures and liabilities since 1856
deserves attention

There are few soyereigns in the world who
deserve a more cordial and respectful welcome
from the people of the United States than the
Emperor of Brazil. He has long been held in
high honor here for the enlightened ambition
which has directed his reign, and the liberal
accomplishments and estimable personal char
acter by which he has adorned his high sta
ton. Every traveller who has visited his do
minions has been charmed by him, and Ameri-
cans in particular have been delighted by his
evident interest in the concerns of this
country, and his knowledge OF its litera-
ture, its industrial and scientific progress,
and its eminent men. During his visit to the
United States he will not be carried around
like n showmans caravan, as the custom Is
when the Common Councilman of the period
gets possession of a royal parsonage but we
trust he may be allowed to see the best side
of American life, to inspect It's most valuable
public and private institutions-if he wishes
to. not otherwise-and to be formally well
coined by our purest and most cultivated clti-
zens, as he will be informally by the whole
people The General Government has chosen
dignlfied and becoming mode of receiving
him at his first landing. Whatever civihties
the State and the City may be able to extend
ought to be equally in accordance with his
Majesty's simple tastes.

The Charter Commission, OF which the Hon.
VIM. NJ Evarts is President, shows In its re-
port a due sense Of the importance OF the
work it has undertaken. To digest the whole
scheme of our municipal government and
recommend the needed reforms, has proved a
labor of magnitude, and kept the Commission
very busy. The work is in good hands, and
when finished will doubtless be Of permanent

Something for the Centennial,


 We were shown the other day, ir
 Major Lords office, a very elegant piece of handiwork, designed for ex
 hibition at the Centennial. It consists
 of an apparahoe and attachments, in
 all some eight pieces, and was made,
 under the direction of Major J. H.
 Lord, entirely by Mexicans in Tucson. The pieces composing the set are the ApparahOe, with crupper; the Sobreen- jalma or cover; the Carona, used be- tween the apparahoe and the blanket the Blanket; the Cinch; the Cuarta and lash rope; the Hackamaa or head stall; the Tapojo or blind.
 All the pieces are made of full size as for practical use, The apparahoe is of finished leather, finely engraven, and wadded in the most approved manner. The attached crupper bears in cut and underlaid letters the words " Territorio de Arizona" The Sobre- enjalma, broad expanse of leather, passing over the apparahoe, displays some finely drawn designs in leather engraving, and finish. The Carona shows some very intricate and elegant hair work in the body of it. The Cinch is broad belt of finely engraven leath- CT, with the center composed of inter- woven horse hair. The Cuarta and lash rope with hooks. used in securing the burden, are plain but of grea; strength. The Head-stall is as fine a piece of workmanship as can be seen anywhere. Around various portions of the apparahoe and head-stall is raised border of plush or worsted work. The whole set was shipped for Philadelphia the first of the week, and will do credit to Arizona in every respect, as it would to any State in the Union. Major Lord seemed to have considerable prIde inI this handsome set, and the manner in which it had been worked up. Andl with good reason.
 If it lies within human power, Ari. zons will yet have something else to show for herself at the Centennial

The School Fund.

On February 9, the Territorial Board of Education made a triennial appor tionment of the public school fund among the several counties of the Ter. ritory, according to average attendance
 The whole amount apportioned was S2595-91. Average daily attendance at the public schools in the Territory was 4l9. Average daily attendance in Pima county was 1222a proportion of money divided, S759.91. Average daily at tendance in Yavapai county was l01 ; proportion of money, s626. Average daily attendance in Yuma county was 95 7-9; proportion of money, S59264. Average daily attendance in Maricopa county was 66; proportion of money s4OS.79. Average daily attendance in Mohave county was !; proportion of money, s4S.35. Average daily attend ance m Pinal county was 26 5-9; pro portion of money, S16450.
 The money due the Territorial school fund has not been paid in from some Of the counties, and probably there will be as much to be apportioned in March, to the several counties, as Tn the foregoing apportionment

 The dispatch sent from Camp Gran on January 19, and published by tho press elsewhere, with reference to Dia bios raid on Camp Apache, was nOt furnished us for the reason that Gen Kautz rightly cOnjectured that it was sensational, and preferred to wait con. hrmation before allowing it go to the world as fact.
 It seems that Diablo and only five or six Indians fired on the Indian scouts killing one and under the excitement that immediately followed Captain Harper wrote to Lieut..

Army Deposits with Paymasters.

Under the provisions of an act passed
 in 1872, any enlisted man of the army
 may deposit his savings with any army
 paymaster, and for any sums of not less
 than fifty dollars so deposited for the period of six months or longer, the
 soldier, at his final discharge, is paid
 interest at the rate of four per cent. per
 annum. The soldier gets an account
 book, and has an entry made of his de
 pOsit just as he would at bank-the
 advantage ofthe thing being that while
 he is frequently stationed in remote
 places, completely out of the reach of
 banks, he can always find the same op- portunity to put his money in safe place for keeping that any resident of a city has. These deposits are only paid on the final discharge of the soldier, but are not subject to selzure for his debts, nor to forfeiture by any sentence ofa court-martial, except for desertion. The act has proved so satisfactory in its operation that the officers of the army are quite anxious to be admitted to the same privilege, and petitions from officers of the Sixth and Seventh infan- try have been sent to Congress, through | the war department, asking for the of the law so as to permit officers to make deposits in the same way. The scheme it will be noted is very much like that of insurances, and | the officers claim that if they are ad- mItted to its benefits it will enable those who have families or others dependent on them to make much more certain provision for their heirs han is now possible with life insurance con- Danies, or other commercial ventures. They ask though that the provisions of he law in their case be modified so as ll o authorize officers to withdraw their deposits on the completion of each and svery term of five years,l commencing rom the date of their first deposit The presented bear the indorse- nent of the paymastergeneral, who avs he heartily concurs in recommend ng such legislation, believing that it would be beneficial to the public ser 'ice-St. Louis Republican.

There is mental health inspiring
 tone in the following matter, which
 warrants the widest dissemination, and should entitle it to a,place in every
 public journal in the land, even to the
 exclusion of more important matter;
 In the United States Court at Indian
 apolis, Indiana, on February 1, several
 of the prisoners in the whiskey cases,
 before sentence was passed, pleaded
 honorable wounds and faithful service
 in the army, and various other reasons,
 in mitigation. Judge Greshman ad-
 mitted the unpleasantness of his duty,
 but could not allow sympathy to make
 hIm forget the crime they had con- mitted. He drew contrast between
 the officers of the Government and distillers. The former are trusted serv- ants in the pay of the United States, while the latter are not trusted, but are watched by the Government, there fore, the former ought 10 have increas- ed punishment. He then announced that these officers who had betrayed their trust, should have two years in ei- ther of the penitentiaries they might prefer and pay fine of one thousand dollars each. Then followed the case of Jas. K. Hill, Deputy Revenue Col lector. He protested his innocence before God and the world The Judge, in sentencing him to three years in the and one thousand dollars fine, remarked that his crime was of | deeper dye, because of his high posi- | ton in the Government service. In the | case of Jno. w. Bingham, Col. Truster stated to the Court that he had a couple of affidavits showing Binghams wife
 n critical condition, and that sud I len shock to her nervous system might prove fatal, and also the further fact hat the Government officers in New York wished Bingham's affidavit in 'ther cases, therefore asked delay in 'assing sentence. The Judge replied ince these facts had come to his
 he had thought much { 'hat was best to do; that although E here will be popular clamor for Bing- am's sentence, he thought as ques- on of humanity sentence ought to be t eferred; that Bingham recently lost q | rother, who, no doubt, had died of re- N lorse; that the Government could af- O 'rd to wait few weeks before passing d ,ntence, and he was perfectly willing
