General sherman.

The President has received the follow ing letter from General Sherman:
 To hls Excellency the Hon. Chester A. Arthur. President of the United States Dear Sir Permit me, with soldiers frankness, to thank you for your hand some compliment bestowed m general orders yesterday, which arc reported m the journals of the day. To me 1t was surprise, and most agreeable one. had supposed the actual date of my re- tirement would form a short paragraph in the common series of special orders of the War Department, but as the honored executive of our country has made it the occasion for his own hand to pay the tribute of respect and sttec- ton to an officer passing from the active stage of life to one of ease and rest, l can only say feel highly honored, and congratulate myself in thus rounding ont my record of service in manner most gratifying to family and friends. | Not only this, but feel sure, when the orders of yesterday are read on parade to the regiments and garrisons Of the | United States, many a young hero will tighten his belt and resolve anew to be brave and true to the starry banner which we of our day have carried safely through one epoch of danger but which may vet be subjected tO ether trials which will demand similar sacri- fees. equal fidelity and courage, and a larger measure of intelligence. Again thanking you for so marked conpli ment. and reciprocating kind wishes for the future, am, with profound respect your friend and servant,

THERE Is a good deal of interest man. ifested throughout the territory in the final disposition, by the government, of the Deer Creek coal fields, where many thousands of dollars have been expended by the locators before the survey was made which declared the coal fields on the San Carlos reservation. \ bill has been introduced by Senator Miller, of California, to segregate the coal fields and open them up to settlement. This bill is said 10 be antagonlzed by Indian Commissioner Price. The bill provides for segregating and the sale of these lars per acre. Commissioner rrrUe 8 idea is to retain the same and lease them to parties at royalty of ten cents per ton. IL is said that Prices proposition is unpopular with congrossmen and others who understand the facts in the case. It is claimed that 1t does not re- quire an act of congress tO segreg te these lands. that 1t IS in the power of the president and the secretary Ot the in terior to do it, fl they are sD disposed. A strong petition has been sent these gentlemen asking them to segre gate the lands. Something should be done. These vast and valuable coal fields should be worked. There IS great need of the coal and vexed question such as this should be settled, and settled in the interest of the people and not eyndi- cate such as it is rumored has been or is likely to be organized to influence the government.

SPEAKING of Morrisou's tariff bill Bob Ingerson says: The bill admits that tho present tariff Is absolutely correct, except as to the rate. Tpe bill takes of the same per cent. from the whole list. and in that way admits that the present tariff is perfectly fair and was laid &C., cording to correct principles and errs only in amount. ThIs admission is fatal. ThIs bill will neither satisfy Democrats nor seduce Republicans. The people believe in protection" The San Fran cisco Chronicle discussing the bill says: "Mr. Morrison's 20 per cent. horizontal reduction tariff, it Is supposed, wlll reduce the revenue from customs S.S,- OOOOOO. We could easily endure that much reduction of revenue. But the weak spot in 1t is that 1t would open the way for flood of iron. steel and other foreign manufactures from abroad, for which we should have to pay in gold, thus reducing our finances to low stage in few years, and from the very start reducing the wages of our own operatives engaged in this industries at least 2U

BT a systematic job of lying Tucson papers are trying to keep business men away from the Quiiotoas by represent ing that lots are selling there from $50 to $S0 per front foot. The fact is, lots figures-to say the least very'rrafssi,f, ,1,TF1' h an isolated instance a lot 30xl2O feet was sold for $500.
 The above is from the Benson Herald, and we are surprised that the Herald should interpret the statement that lots have been sold for several hundred dol lars to mean an injury to the towns in the Qaiiotoas. The inference rather should be that the prospects of these towns are so flattering that business lots were selling at high figure. We presume that 1t is only the most favorably located corner lots winch bring such figures as
 he above. Why, everybody in Tucson is interested in the Quiiotoas. It IS child of the old pueblo, and We are proud of it's paternal connection, aud are doing our level best to i'll the noun tain full of men and money.

Chandler and Hatton are considered the Presidents political managers, and 1t is alleged by those who ought to know that both of these gentlemen have for some time been giving instructions in the POstoffice and Treasury Departments and Pension office to work up Arthur's boom in the Southern States If politicians are abls to prove that Chandler and Hatton are at work under the dictation ot President Arthur they will be able to start sentiment against his candidacy that will stop further work in the Postoffice and Treasury Departments machines.
