"WHAT shall be done with Gener> al Grant" seems to be the absorbing question of interest to hero wer- shipers. An eastern exchange sug~ gests that it would be 8 national disgrace to let him die in penury. It occurs te us that, deserving as he may be, II would be a still greater disgrace to make asspeculating beg gar of him, which just now seems to be the inclination. General Grant has been "set up" in style becoming the honorable position he oecupys in our nations history. He went into speculation and lost fortune but still has enough to live on in ease and independece. That he should disgrace himself; that his friends should disgrace him and the nation by putting him forth again as kind of mehdicant upon the nation is uncalled for.

PRIVATE advices from Washing> ton announce that a scheme Is on foot, which Is to be carried into eff
 feet immediately on the convening
 of the new Congress after the fourth
 of March, looking to the annexation
 of large slice of the northern part of Arizona to Utah; the proposed
 section taking in the Atlantic &
 Pacific railroad almost it's entire
 length, and including a considerable
 portion of the Mormon settlements
 on the Little Colorado. This chan ge
 will make Utah one of the largest and most important Ter rritories in the Union, with important lines of railroad through both northern and southern sections, and north and south roads connecting them. More tban this, it will attach to Utah fine section of tim Der and coal coun- try, of both of which she is greatly in need, and upon her admission as State, which will doubtless be pro. vided for in the same bill, she will at once become the most important Rocky Mountain State.
 The influences that will be brought to bear to accomplish this matter will be powerful, if net numerous, and will be that of the Mormon politicians of Utah and the Atlantic & Pacific people themselves, who, in the change, hope, doubtless, to escape the onerous. taxation which attaches in Arizona. The Utah Gen. tral is probably also interested in the scheme. How fnr a Democratic House will allow this thing to go remains to be seen; but If it is not totally devoid of gratitude, it will doubtless handle tenderly inc prepo- sition in order that Utah may be most favorable to the Democratic | cause when she becomes a State and will roll up two Democratic Sena,. tors and big Democratic majority
 Aside. from the coal lands and the railroads Arizona will not be a great sight the loser. Her principal mining and agricultural interests are in tiIe central and southern DOT tions, as is also the principal portion of her population. If we must be cut to pieces, and there seems to be several influences at work to dissever the Territory, we know of no sec~ tion that we could more easily spare
 Southern California would like to unite with central and southern Arizona in a new State, but such a connection would be of no advantage to Arizona, in fact a defriment, as she would be swallowed up In the older and more populous section of country, and her capitol doubtless placed, by vote of Los Ang elcs, in she sxtrano onerthwestsrn corner.

THE State Board of Educa

THE State Board of Education of California have decided on having text books of reading, word analysis and spelling,a and grammar published by the State. The question IS an old one in California and has long been discIssed in her educational circles. The State has been so long overrun by school concerns, that in her desperation to free herself from these public leeches she attempts to take in hand a matter, which in our humble eplnion, will be a costly ex> per1ment to the people, who will probably find themselves with infe- rior textbooks, ahd an increase cost though rhealatter will eeme in the shape of taxes. The idea, of course, is to relieve those who are burdened by the necessities of purchasing text books for their children and to fur nish such books free with certainE restrictions as to use. Of course the rich iH this way will be obliged to bear q portien of the school book expenditures of the poor, but the cost to the State, on the whole, will probably be increased.

WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING
 AT NEW ORLEANS

We quote to-day few lines from
 that talented writed and close ob-
 served, Joaquin Miller, on the Expo-
 sition in New Orleans, which opens
 tomorrow We cannot restrain a
 ref ection upon Arizona that she
 has been exceedingly tardy in show>
 ing up her real resources of wealth on this occasion-her agricultural,
 timber and grazing interest. Our
 mines are we'll represented, possibly
 over represen for the number
 that is st present paying. But in
 that direction we have abundance of
 mines that will pay when the other
 interests are properly developed,
 and not till then. It therefore be-
 comes the duty of the Territory to induce immigration of those who
 will develop our agricultural resour- ces. Our mines will bring heavy capital but they will not bring the
 settler, the one thing that is just now
 most needed. But let us see what
 Joaquin Miller has to say in his most interesting manner:
 "Fourteen car loads from Terris tory-Dakotal This is enterprise, and I point you this N orthwest as next to the frst fer honorable men- tion because 1t is first to be ready. Nebraska is here with thirty-three | car loads, and an ex-Gevernor who l knows his work, on hand. MinLe> sota is here and ready te show her wonders with % car lsadsI How admirable such enterprise. One of these States will unvail the obelisk in corn; one will unvail Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty, and sea of corn and gram and wonderful things all spread out in gorgeous and display below. WondsrfulI Yet, mind you, I do not quite like the demand of the Northwest for the entire popula- tion of the earth. For years 1t has been the custom of their great rail- roads to simply project Immigrants into the Northwest in a sort of per petusl bon parchment. They were fired right ahead, ss far as their would go at least, and never permitted to know that there was a South in all this world, or anything at all but the Northwest. All right eneugh for the Finlander. and Nor> such strong people no doubt; but thousands on thousands have been fired into the far North west who would gladly have chosen 8 kinder climate had they beeni frankly informed and told truly of he worth of the South and South> western lands"

APPOMATTOX.

DEsyER, Dec. 13.-Ex>Senator Jerome B. Chaffee, chairman of the Executive committee of the Ma tIonal Republican committee, arrived from New York to>day. Speaking Of Gen. Grants refusal to become a United States pensiener, Senator Chaffee says: "For one reason apart from all others here why Appomat> tox could not consistently do so from the fact that he himself vetoed just such measure when president, as lately proposed in his own be- half."9 But what Senator Chaffee warmly declares should be accorded to Gen. Grant, and what he believes he would accept, is his official retire> ment with full pay from the tIme of -the expiration of his military sera

ROUGH oE NEVADA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18.-A New York special, quoting from the Herald, says: The state ef Nevada has collapsed. IL never was much of 8 state and never should have been admitted into the Union. The enabling act of March 1864, was one of the most ea!pable follies of the Republican party. It sHindled other states by giving senators and representatives in congress to a mining camp among barren noun tains. What shall be done with the collapsed state? Is not a censtitu- tional amendment desirable to extin- guish it? Is it just that other states should tolerate the monstrous poli- tical power that Nevada exercises in congress and in the electoral college? But the extingulBhment of any state is a serious matter, and the centin- uance of any state in the monstrous condition of Nevada, is very serl- ous matter also.

 national policy in it's intercourse
 with the neighb boring countries of
 the American system, which is out
 lined is my late annual message to congress in the following words:
 The conditions of these treaties
 should be the free admission of such
 merchandise as this country does not produce in return for the admis-
 sion free or under favored scheme
 of duties of our own products. The
 benefits of such exchange to apply to goods carried under flags of par-
 ties to the contract and the removal on both sides from vessels so priVi- legged, of all tonnage, dues and national imports, so that these ves4 sels may ply unhindered, between our ports and those of the other con- tracting parties, though without in> ringing on the reserved coasting trade. The removal or reduction of burdens on exported products of those countries, coming within the benefits of treaties and the avoid> ance of technical restrictions and penalties, by which our intercourse with those countries is ct present hampered. A perusal of the cons vention now submitted will suffice to show how fully it carries out the policy of intercourse thus announced.
