4 Michigan blizzard.

A Marquette (Mich.) special says ::
A terrible blizzard has been prevailing
here since Sunday. No trains have ar
rived or departed, and no mails have
been received since Sunday. The snow
drifts at the cuts on the railroad are
eight feet deep, and several locomotives
are derailed. At 10 O'Clock last night
the thermometer marked thirteen de-
grees below zero. 1t is reported that
several choppers have been frozen to
death in the woods. At Grand Morris
the cold was so intense that it burst
and pulyerized rocks. No trains left
Marquette to-day. The soutli-bound
passenger train has been started. There
are immense drifts near St. Ignace,
and for two days passengers have been
suffering for food, but help has gone
from ST. lgnace.

A Hard COuntry.

The district Of Badgheis, at present
claimed by Russia for herself and by
England for Aighanistsn, is a large
wedge-shaped tract Of upland between
the Herr and Murghab rivers, extend
ing from SsrakhS and Penjdeh on the
north to Kuhsan and llcrat on the
south. Its northern half presents the
appearance Of vast, dfcary plateau,
stiAingly hot and dusty, swelling gradu-
ally up into successive ranges of low
hills, which occupy it, whole southern
portion. These hills shelter countless
bands Of Turcoman robbers, whose
ccaseleSS incursiOns make the open coun-
try almost uninhabltsblc. The whole
tract near the hills is studded with
towers of refuge -. C.. small turrets
of dried clay, with one narrow aperture,
which the occupant closes with 4 large
stone the moment he has crept in. Ma

Surplus Revenues.
me Editor Of tie Dispotch -:

10 tie Editor Of Mc Dispatch :
Your comment on my communica-
ton, - Surplus in the Treasury, of the
18th instant is discouraging. and yet,
if YOU will allow me, ] will in as few
words as possible make answer. My
reasons for suppoSing that money will
continue to accumulate at Washington
to the detrimcnt Of trade are-iirst,
that the Democratic party is pledged to
a tariff sufficiently high to protect work
ingmen against foreign labor land that
is sound doctrine), and such tariff, in
my opinion, will yield as large a
revenue as at present received; aud
second, the people. Democrats and
Republicans. seem to be against
taking off internal taxes ian Opin-
ion did not hold some months
ago. so that the income of the Govern
mcnt will be as great, if not greater,
in coming years than in the past. Now,
then. as the money will continue to
come in, what are you going to do with
it? Our new Administration is pledged
to reform and economy, and hope and
believe it will fulfil its pledge. We
have a large national debt, which | did
not mention in my first communication,
and it would seem to ordinary minds
that this surplus might be used in pay
ing the nations debt but our iinan-
cicrs are of the opinion that if the debt
is paid off too fast that the remain
ing unpaid bonds will increase
in value TO such an extent as to cause
disturbance in the finances. Then what
are we to do with this surplus except
to return it to the States to aid them
in their struggle against war and anti
war debts: We shall have no action
on tariff or internal taxes until the
next Congress meets-pOssibly no ac-
ton inside Of years time, and by that
time wewil have, not 1886, 000, 900. but
at least 5000, 900, 000lockcd up and fast
bound in the Treasury. And as no
system of taxes will be ever adopted
which will he less than current eX-
penses OF the Government there VIII
yet be this immense surplus to be got
ten rid of 10y some manner OF legislation,
and | say, and | believe if put to the
vote the people would say, return it to
the States. +. {. Il.
We do not like surplus revenues.
They beget extravaganza. But we
don't think our Government will suffer
much from such a cause. If the tariff
were taken off the single article Of sugar,
the revenues would be reduced by ifly
millions Of dollars sum larger than
the surplus of this year is likely to be.
However, it is hardly worth while to
discuss these questions now. The
money cannO, be distributed amongst
the States, nor disposed Of in any other
way, before Congress meets.
