ESPECIAL TO THE MIsER.l

Washington. March 1.-Garfield was in- formally received in few remarks by Col. Ingersoll of the Committee on Inauguration Ceremonies. On Friday morning the Presi' dent and Mrs. Hayes will turn over the Ex- ecutive Mansion to ihe President-elect and Mrs. Garfield, and on Saturday the retiring President and Mrs. Hayes and family will leave by special train for Cleveland.

The shooting was done by tramps, who entered Walters saloon, called for drinks, and when pay ment was demanded began a TOW, which ended in the shooting of Walters end his ss- sistant. six men have been arrested.
 San Francisco, March l.-silver King, 20; Tiptop, ,.
 Washington, March 2.-It is evident that lhe Funding Bill will pass. The report, traced to the Whi:e House, that the Presl- dent will veto it, is not entirely incredible, because it is known that Secretary Sherman advised Republican Congressmen to vote  against the bill.
 The probabilities are that Allison will be Secretary of the Treasury; Wayne McVeigh, Attorney General; Robert Lincoln, Secre- tary of War, and Levi P. Morton, Secretary of the Navy. Senator Kirkwood says he knows nothing about the rumor of his sp- pointment as Secretary of the Interior, that he has not seen Garfield nor asked about the matter. Senator Blaine stated to several Re publican senators last night that Allison will be Secretary ot the Treasury. Blaine said that few days ago he had doubts about Allison, but TOW he is satisfied that Allison will be appointed.
 Washington, March 2.-Since Garfield's interview with Hayes there is the best au- thority for the statement that the President will refuse to sign the Funding Bill should it pass both Houses.

4 Change.

By vote of Is to today the bill passed the House transferring His Honor Chief Justice c. C. W. French from Tue son to Prescott and Judge Stillwell to Tucson. This IS change dge French has long desired and We eve will be entirely acceptable to all concerned. We have been favorably impressed with Judge Stillwell and would certainly be in favor of keeping him here were 1t so elected by him. Inasmuch as he has consented to the change we believe both parties will be suited.

Some more of the woolsey estate has re- gently been so.d at low figures, almost nothing.
 With the advent of a railroad through the borthern portion of the Territory, thing about to be realized, we see no reason why some contemplating gentleman should not ne looking to the establishment of woolen factory, taDnery, soap and candle iactory, suezr refinery. and in fact all the important enterprises which will pay big proht on the capital invested.
 H B Ioe. 10 provide for holdinga Conven- ton to frame e constitution, Preparat0ry 10 the sfmission of Arizona into the Union as . State, passed the House. It provides TOT the election Of delegates next November, and the meeting of the Convention in Japu- ary, 1882, and the submission of the consu- tution to . vote of the people at the next gen. erAl election.
 Gen. Rollins, of Cochise County, intro duced bill to-day in the Council Tn regard to the Capital question: The bill provides for settling this question, which has been vexed one, by leaving 1t to vote of the people two years hence. We are not certain but what this bill is a good one. We be lieve that Northern Arizona, before the next general election, will hold the sway oi power and be able to take care Of herself, Ii not. then submit to the will of the majority.
 The bill reducing the travelling fees or Sheriff., we believe an injustice. The pres ent incumbents were elected to office under certain fees, and we believe if they are [" De changed, that the law should take effect ct the expiration of the term of office for which the present Sheriifs were elected. Don't give a man something, and tsen, school-boy fashion, take that something avg.
 The Democrat of last night stated that Lrown, of Yavspsi, was the only man who stood up for the miners in the matter of the lien law; such Is not the case. Mir. Robb, who is . member Of the Judiciary commit tee, spoke m fnvor of law of that charac- ter. said the bill offered was not so good as the G,le already on the Statute books, and asked that the Judiciary Committee he in- structed to perfect the existing law by such amendments as seemed to them wise and proper.
 THE ARIZONA LEGIsLAITEE.-Our expe rience reaching back to the commC nceineni of legislative bodies in Arizona, upon It's Tor nation or organization as Territory, con vinces us, and quite strongly too. that the present session compares iavorsbly, so far as inteliisence, honesty and industry, to say nothing of morals, winch certainly out bal ance fin the scales which measure the con- duet of men are concerned, with any legis lsture that has ever assembled in the Terri- tory, which Is now making rapid strides in inc direction of statehood. Both Houses contain able lawyers, newspaper men s.d gentlemen of varied vacation, eminenty fitting them for good Legislators. Our con temporary has spoken lightly of the present jeoisln,u e. but we do noi believe the Judge really mssnt anything serious; he was only inclined 10 scoid littIe.

Fair criticism IS proper, no matter whether the subject be a picture, a poem, legislative body. a public man or ground and lofty tumbler. We have no sympathy with the critic whose wit is gall, who sees no merit in anything, and whose stock in trade is bad nature and bitter sentences carefully culled from the effusions of men more competent to rln, even if they do not, intelligent opinions. The legitimate province of a criiic is to point out weak features, kindly, so that they may be avuided in the future, and serve as an incentive to better work. More particularly is this so where the work is that of amatuers. When a party of la- dies and gentlemen give time, money and patience to the somewhat thankless task of catering to community, they should re ceive at least courteous and kind treatment.
 For the past two years, few of our ladies aud gentlemen have been giving occasional entertainments at the theatre, and they have been fully up to the average amatuer per formances anywhere. They have been ac tuated by lsudabie desire to furnish proper and rational amusement for "ur townspeO ple, and when. added to that, they have de voted the proceeds of their entertainment as on last Friday evening, to worthy and charitable object. they deserve something better in return than hyPercritical notice
 their efforts, emanating from the pen of an anonymous scribbler, whose heart IS not trouble with generous impulses, and whose head contains ss much brains, perhaps, as the skull of the dead Yorick, over which Hamlet moralizes so prettily.

THE LEGISLATIVE BALL.

The legislative ball, at the theatre build ing, last evening was grand affair. The hall was filled with legislators, officers and their ladies and the ladies and gentlemen of town
 The hall, under the direction of the dec orating committee, looked its best and was certainly credit t, those having the matter under charge. The supper gotten up by Mrs. Buffum assisted by the ladies of Pres colt was certainly credit and never sur passed Hi Prose tt. In .oto the affair was all that could be asked. The various com mittees carried out their respective duties which contributed in great measure to the general success of the party.

The Arizona MINER, under caption of "Wouders Never Cease, rates represent atives of other counties who dovetailed legislative interests with those of Yaya- raj and went back on their promise in voting for the removal of the capital from Prescott to Tucson. Pope struck the hulls-eve when he chased all men as nor ally ''slack twisted. flew in the extreme, but all in the degree" The MINER can classify the Governor, when 1t Is satisfied that the report is true that he has been doing Yavapai dirt; that, for private ends he has been gravitating southward for some months. that in December last he arranged for home m Tucson, where he could be ''cheek by jowl, with Judge Si- lent in manipulating mining claims. Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives" and why not Fremont and Silent They are presented, by common report, to the public gaze as twin cherries on single stem. When the editor of the MINER finds a man 'who broke no prom ise. served no private end, he will please make ''a note of 1t, i'll order that the pleasant recollection of so perfect biped may be ever present as perfect joy, but until then. he should not forget that ''msn was made tomourn,' especially when the capital of Territory IS on wheels.- TSilver Belt.
