The Monument to Garfield. cid

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Post- master General Howe has addressed letter to the postmasters of. the United States, Tn which he says: The Society of the Army of the Cum berland appeals to you for aid to pro- cure contributions to funds for the erection of a monument at the na- tional capital to the memory of Jas. A.. Garfield. am sure no word is needed from me to enlist your best efforts in behalf of such a cause. By noble as piration and by tireless en- deavers to promote the public wei fare, President Garfield had achieved the highest honcrs of the republic. When he had but lately passed the noon of life he fell victim to malice so wanton as to be demoniac. A monument to him will attest the na- tion's gratitude for his virtues, and the nations adherence for that in. scrutable depravity which slew him. Such a structure should not be stinted for lack of, means. ..'

A Death-Bed Confession.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Feb. H. There Is great excitement here over the announcement that an old Ger man named Peter Hoffman, who died in Harrison county, yesterday, had made some startling disclosures re- garding two mysterious and brutal murders that had been perpetrated near his home. Hoffman was taken sick short time ago, and as he grew worse he evinced great mental suffer- ing. He cried out for a priest, and in despairing tones confessed that he had murdered three men. One crime he committed in Germany, and to es- cape punishment for which he fled to this country. The other two mur- ders, he said, he committed here, and since he was taken sick he had been overcome with remorse. The tor ture became so unbearable that he was compelled to confess his guilt. His statements about the murders are fully corroborated by evidence m the hands of the authorities.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.

While hundreds are struggling in one way or another to earn a living or to acquire fortune Tn the quest of mineral wealth, few miles to the east of us, between the Dragoon and Chiricahua ranges, lies the basis of an independent fortune for hundreds. There has not been season in the past three years that thousands upon thousands of acres of land in the Sul- phur Spring valley would not have yielded bountiful crops of barley had it been under cultivation. Even upon the rocky mesa just to the north of us, in the fall, barley, corn and beans can be found occasionally along the trail where the prospector has made his camp. The rainfall of last summer in Arizona exceeded that of almost any Eastern or Mid dle state; heavy rains have been fre- quent of late; "dry Arizona is be. coming misnomer. With the blow. ing up of large tracts of the alluvial land of Sulphur Spring valley and the planting of trees of quick growth the rainfall would increase. Even in the foothill valleys on the northeast ern slope of the Dragoons, wells of shallow depth strike abundant sup plies of water. The center of this extensive valley and table land abounds with water which in many places rises to the surface. For orange groves and vineyards, irriga- tion when necessary could readily bo achieved by a system of windmills and tanks. The man who takes ad. vantage of the existing opportunity for the opening up of vineyard, grain farm or stock ranch in the Sulphur Spring valley, through which the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road will probably run, and which is al, ready crossed by the Southern Pa cific, has before him an opportunity that would be eagerly grasped by many of the toilers in the less fav- ored farming regions of the north east. And while it may not be as exciting, it is far more certain road to independence than the search for hidden wealth.

The SOteldO Affair

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--A. 0. So- teldo was arraigned in the police court this morning, charged with as- sault with intent to kill his brother, A. M. Sote.do. He was committed to jail to await the result of his broth CTS injuries. A. Nj. Soteldo has re- gained entire consciousness, but is paralyzed from his head down, and his death is only aquestion of a.short time. The affair continues to be the principal topic of interest here. Ir is charged that the articles published in the Republican, to which Soteldo took exception, were the inspiration of the star route ring in retaliation for SoteldoS efforts to expose them. Barton, in justification of himself, declares that in publishing the arti- cles which cost Soteldo his life, he was not venting personal spleen, but was carrying out the instructions of his superiors, which he dared not dis regard.

THAT LITTLE MAN FROM CHINA.

Senator Miller's bill to suppress Chinese immigration, as reported re- gently from the committee, provides that from and after the expiration of sixty days next after the date of it's enactment, and until the expiration of twenty years from the same date, the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States shall be suspended, and that "during such suspension it shall be unlawful for any Chinese laborer to come, or, having so come after the expiration of sixty days, to remain within the United States" The Chinese are the least desired immigrants who have ever sought the United States. They came in with the famous Burlingame treaty, which angled for the trade of the celestial empire, but caught tbe almond-eyed Mongolian with his rig tail, his heathenism, his filthy habits, his thrift and careful accumulation of savings to be sent back to the flow cry kingdom. It may be doubted if the commercial benefits equaled the annoyance following the heathen, al- though less than 150,000 of him re- main to give vitality to the "Chinese question:" But the problem is more open to theory than to practical so- lution. Tns bill, which claims to be a practical view from standpoint of opposition to the man with the al- mond eye as an unmitigated little "cuss," deals with the difficulties of the problem which, when brought down to bear points, seems less easy of solution than that involved in po- lygamy. lie cannot be excluded on account of his religion. No such test is provided by our government. He cannot be pronounced pauper, fer he is one of the most industrious and economical of human beings. Neither can he be declared a.crlmi. nal, for he is as law abiding as others in his sphere of life. No degree of inhibition excludes him. The most we can do is to insist that he is a heathen, devourer of soup made from the fragrant juice of the rat, filthy, disagreeable, and undesirable generally, an incumbranco that we do not know how to get rid of, but whose tribe we have determined shall not increase in this part of the world. >

Mexican News.

TUosoN, Feb. LA. E. Head has just arrived from Magdalena, Sonora. He reports the rails of the Sonora road are laid forty-seven miles north of Hermosillo. Track-laying contin- ues at the rate of one and half miles per day. There has been but one rainfall this season, which was quite heavy. He states the mining interests are generally improving throughout the state. The Santa Barbara, owned by San Francisco parties, is developing beyond all ex- pectations. ork has been suspend ed until the arrival and erection of hoisting machinery, which will be in operation in two months. The Ben nett mine in Cordarana is reported as looking excellent, and Capt. Towne's mines in the Ranches are producing a good run of bullion. There are d great many Americans going into the state, looking after cattle ranges and mines. Sonora, he says, is fine grazing country. The government of Sonora has been much misrepre- sented in regard to the treatment of Americans and foreign capital. He says there is as much protection to life and property there as elsewhere, and that the officials appear to be doing everything to encourage and protect foreigners in all of their rights, He thinks, with the comple- ton of the railroad, that Sonora will become d field of large mining, agri- cultural and grazing wealth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The cor respordence between Blaine and Mexico, relative to the Guatemala boundary, called for by the senate, has been received here in the volume of Mexican foreign office correspon- dence. Blaine's letter is addressed to Philip H. Morgan, dated June 16, 1881. It reviews the boundary in dispute between Mexico and Guata- mala. tenders the mediation of the United States, and deprecates any hostile movement on the part of the Mexican authorities.

There is a decided feeling among members of the house against the reduction of the tax on whisky or tobacco, because, principally, agi. tation of the subject injures the busi- ness in these commodities, and be- cause it would make it impossible, under these circumstances, to reduce the tariff.

 Only short time since we Informed our many readers that the ore of the Black Hills district, this county, was similar to that of the Contention and Tough Nut mines of Tombstone. We have been in formed of the same fact again by reliable parties.
 great many persons have applied to the land commissioner of the A. x P. rail road for land in the San Francisco noun tain country.
 Arizona stands better in the east than any Pacific coast territory, and next season the influx to our population will prove the truth ot our assertion.
 Many interesting accounts we hear of the great mining revolution in Mohaye county. From time to time it has been our pleasant duty to speak of our sister county as her merit justly deserve But with time new developments spring up, and it becomes our duty to note them In the Fairfield we learn the Hon. w.
