Philadelphia Inquirer: If the tariff

collector need go astray in expoundinR

The work of constructing a tunnel un

England is actually begun, and the syn
dictate which has raised the enormous

be in earnest. 1t is proposed TO use the
tunnel for railroad traffic only, and If il
is ever completed it will be the wonder
of the world. The tunnel under The

Unwritten History.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE follow
ing is related by a prominent ex-union
general as piece of unwritten history,
which, in connection with the revival of
the Rosecrans-Garfield letters, brings to
the surface a, hitherto forgotten fact,
which will tend to strengthen the well
known frindship and affection which ex-
listed between the two. 1t will be re-
memdered that Gen. Garfield was del
egate from Ohio to the Baltimore COR
Vention in 1864, which nominated Presi-
dent Lincoln for his second term. After
Lincoln had been nominated, Garfield
telegraphed to Rosecrans, then in st.
Louis, as follows "The vice presidency
is going a, begging, will you accept: 81
Gen. Rosecrans, after consultation with
q well known general, now in Washing
ton, consented and sent an answer TO
Gen. Garfield having, it is said, been
suppressed by Stanton in the war depart
ment, through whose hands all kilograms
passed at that time. AS consequence
Andrew johnson received the Aomina-
ton which Gen. Rosecrans would un-
questionably have secured and the fol-
lowing events of Lincoln's death would
have placed him in the presidential
chair, which subsequently, was filed by
Johnson. The system of espionage in
the war department at the time brought
a train of disasters which might happi-
ly have been averted in the placing of
Garfield's friend, Rosecrans, in the pres
identiai chair.

How 1t Was Done.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE nomi-
nation of John Russell Young minister
to China, is strongly commended. 1t is
understood to have resulted from the
cordial recommendations of Gen. Grant.
These were first made to Gen. Garfield
in long letter from Grant setting forth
his views of and relations with China
and Japan, belief that the United
States might easily place itself in closer
relations than any other of the great
powers. He thought that by judicious
diplomatic work our commerce might
be greatly increased, much to the ad-
vantage of the whole country and to
the Pacific coast especially. He wrote
that Mr.. Young had been oyer the
whole field with hun; had made the ac-
quaintance of the chief dignitaries of
China and Japan, and that in his
(GranL's) opinion, he would mako a
most valuable minister. The case came
over to President Arthur, and the APP
pointment has been made, as is Under
stood, on the ground represented by
Gen. Grant.

A Feeling of Dissatisfac.ion.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-There is q
feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction
among some leading Republicans in con-
gress over the present attitude of the
party regarding legislation. The fear
is expressed the exceedingly small ma
jority on that side will / ave them re-
sponsible for the legislative sins of omis-
sion and commission without power TO
remedy. They are alarmed at the pros
pect of the passage of numerous jobs,
schemes and subsidies, or some of them,
whereby millions of dollars will be with
drawn from the treasury and at the same
time the prospect of the refusal OF
congress to relieve the people OF
the burdensome and unequal
taxation. A prominent Repub-
lican and high tariff leader, in the
house, declared in conversation to-day
that unless the Republican side could
shake off the subsidies, the navy
schemes and the Eads jobs, etc, and
give the country practical relief from
oppressive taxation, his party might af
we'll make up its mind to see a Demo
cratic congress elected in the fall. "At
present." said he, 1--WE are drifting ex
actly where the Democracy want to see
US. They can scarcely conceal their de
| light at our dilemma, and are fairly
chuckling in their sleeves at our fool
ishness. The only way to disappoin
! them is to go ahead and pass the appro
priation bill, the Mckinley bill, and re
Guce the internal revenue taxes, as i!
proposed by the bill now prepared by
the committee on ways and means
and then adjourn and go home"
