Qe Chitago Tribune, Baturday Morning, March 1, 1873, _— French hatred of oyerything German goes to the comical length of & refussl by tho Munici- pality of Paris to accept & bequest of 61,000 francs by a German, to bo applied to tho reliof of the German poor of Parls, who will thereforo continue to bo succorod at the oxpense of the French. —— A momber of the House of Commons an- nounced yesterday, smid choets, that ho should nsk tho Government whother it is true, as re- ported, that tho actunl losses of the Americana by the Alsbama deprodations are 2,500,000 losa £han the Geneva award, and whothoer tho United States intended to romit this balance. | A substitute for the ropeal of the ‘‘Mayor'a Bill” has been roported to tho Btato Benate by tho Municipal Committee. Their measure pro- vides that the Mayor shall make romovals only with the ndvice and consent:of tho Councll, and glves tho Council tho power to oloct ceriain ofll- cora of its own motion {without nomination by the Mayor. : | Vice President Colfax is stated by Washington dispatches to have appenred beforetho Attornoy- General, in 1867, a8 counsel for Nesbitt, who ased to pay him, it will bo romembered, o salary of $1,000 quartorly, Mr. Colfax sought to pro- cure theroveraal of an unfayorabledeolsion which Mr, Hoar had moado agsinst ono of Mr. Nesbitt's contracts with tho Post-Offico, but was unsuc- .cosful. In view vr't\m opinion of the Bupremo Court granting & writ of error in the Mafigrty case, apd fixing the responsibility for frequent issuing of surersedeas upon tho *omissions, jguoranco, or nogligenco on tho part of the Btato's Attornoy,” it wounld not be surprising if Mr, Reed should indict the Bupreme Court for [ibel. Tho Bupreme Court, however, would not bo likely fo suffer; some error in tho proceoding would probably cause tho indictment to bo sot asido, For the first time thero Is o prospoot that tho Unitod States fs to bo allowed to share in the onormous profits of tho Oredit Mobilior. The ton shares which, dyriug the investigation, wore delivered by Amos to Kelloy, who, inssting that he did ot own thom, yot gsvo thom to Chair- man Poland 88 8 prosent to the overnment, are lying without owner or clalmant jp the hands of the Borgoant-at-Arms of the Housp, Amea doss not own them; Kolley disclaims thom'; there {a no longer any Poland Qommittes o Liold thom ; the Government makes no claim 4o thom ; tho Borgesnt has no authority fo e ————e hold or soll them. In this dilomms, it la sug- gostod that they be turned into tho consclonco fund of tho Troasury. With them go $50,000 worth of Union Paclflo Railrond bonda. Bonator Carpontor appears to have risen to Liin full intollectual stature in tho dobato in tho fonato on tho Loulslana question. It is no ohild's play to break lances with so close n rea~ sonor and so rendy a dobater ag Mr. Morion, but Mr. Onrponter seoms to .hiave unborsed him complotely. This in tho sccond or third time sinco Carpontor hos boon in the Benate that ho has studied up his subject and got intorosted in it sufficlontly to make a dieplay of his rare pow- ors, Wo hopo thia will not bo tho last, About the most dlsgusting spootacle which tho Houss of Roprosontatives has offerod was tho nction of Mr. Brooks in conspicuously forcing hla oy to tho soats of Ellott and Tainoy, tho two colored members, to thank them for their votos agaiust tho resolution of cenaure. Brooks aoknowledgod that he hind always boon the onemy of tholr race, but would henceforth be thoir friond. Mr. Brooks hna ovidently discov- orod a now olomont of intelligenco in the nogro raco becauso two of its ropresentatives in Con- gross do not caro to consuro Oredit Mobilier spooulations. e Articlos of imposchmont agafost Judge Dela~ ‘iny, of Kansas, aro, by order of the House, to be presentod to tho Benate. Nothing moro than this format proceeding will bo accomplished dur- ing this poselon, The caacs of Judge Sherman, of Ohlo, and Judgo Durell, of Louisians, are still before tho ‘Judiclary Committec, This puta threo United Btatos Judgos in disgraco within twelve months; while, during tho pre- vious elghty-throo yoara of our Government, but two Unitod Btatos {Tudgos have boon im- poached. - Tho House fastoned tho bill reported by the Wil- won COredit Mobilier Committee aa & rider to the ponding Appropriation bill, Tho Wilson bill in~ atrueta tho Attornoy-Goneral to suo the Union PaclfioRailroad for the recovery of monoy, bonds, and lands of which it hns defranded the Govern- ‘meont. Stookholdersof the Company who have not paid full value for thelr stock, or have recoived dividends taken out of the capital of tho road, or have beon concorned in the fraudulent con- atruction contracts, are to bo compelled to mako restitution oither to the Company or the Gov- ernment.- Dividends ehall bo made in futuro only out of sctual oarnings. Aftor dobating the resolutfon to order a mow eleotion in Loulsisns, all Thursday night until 8 o'clock yosterdsy morning, with tha presiding officor’ fast nslecp in tho chair, and awakening only whon motions wero to be put, tho Senato oaves the Louisiana muddle whero it found it 3, Hill's subatitute for the formation of avalid Loghlature out of tho two rival bodies, and tho rocounting by thom of the votes of tho Inst cloc- tion, waslost, An amondmont that, until tho new eleotion ordered by the pending resolution was had, the Kollogg Government should re~ colve Foderal recognition, was accopted, and thon the main resolution itself was rejected, and with 1t, of course, the smendment. At the samo timo that the Sonato rocolves the rosolution passed by the Demooratio majority of the Miesourl Logislature declaring that their investigation completely cleared Senator Bogy from all suspicion of bribery, a memorial ia addrossed to it, by the Republicans of that Logislature, complaining that the investiga- tion was partial, unfair, and unsatisfactory; avorring, in contradiction of its finding, that money was used by Bogy, snd asking the Unitod Btates Senato to undortakoe tho inquiry whioh miscarriod in tho Btato Senato. Benntor Bogy himself made parade, some days ago, of a publio roquest that tho State Senate would ro- open the investigation; but it may be doubted whether he is gratified to find that his Ropub- lican opponents agree with him in the wish to ronew tha inquiry. Canadian political circles aro stirred by tho publication in the Toronto Globe of tho corre- spondence between the Dominion Government and tho two rival Pagiflo Railronds—the Canada Pacific and the Inter-Ocennic. This correspond- once filled moven columna of the Globe, and it Is enid that ita disclosuros will overthrow the Macdonald Minjstry. The gist of it appoars to be that tho Govornment, after having unsuc- cesfully besought the two Companies to unite, awarded tho building contract to tho Canada Pacifie. This action, the Diroctors of the unsuccossful road, the Intor-Oceanio, #ay, throws "the transcontinental highway of Oanada into the Amorican hands of tho Northern Paciflc, which rules the Oanads Pacific, and will sbeorb the Asiatic trade of British North Amer- ica, besides controliing communication botween the colonios on the Pacific and thoso on tho Atlantio, ‘Wo publish elsowhere a note from the Hon, Gustavus Kogrner, in roferenco to tho Bupreme Qourt's decision in the Alton Railroad cnse, and tho attack madeupon himself Izst fall by Mr. B, P, Morgan, Jr., one of hie associates on tho Rail- road and Warchouse Commission, in the publio prosa. Gov. Koornor ghows conclusively that tho position which ho took, and for which he was asgailed,—viz.: that to commonco an agtjon for forfoiture of charter for tho first offonso wae ‘hagardous for the Commssionera and tha Btate) and wan not noceseary, giving the Railway Com- pany an advantage which thoy would not have had if the actfon had boon for o fine of §1,000— was thocorrect one, sinco the opinjon of the Court shown that, if there had been no other roason for roversing the judgment of tho MoLoan Oircuit Coutt, the magnitude of tho penalty would of itself have boon sufficient. If Mr. Morgan was responsible for this feature of the Alton Rallway sult, his performanga was by no aenns & brilliant one. Tho Chicago grain markets wero moro active yosterday.

Mr. Xoopor is a atngklmhlnr of the Union Paolfle, and by this action voted ns ropresonta- tivo of tho poople's intorosts that tho publio monoy should bo paid to him, natho ropresonta- tivoof his own intorests, out of tho United Btatos Trossury, whilo he was indebted to it for mouoys whioh, as stockholder, ho had borrowed and rofused to repay, His voto was objeoted to, and nmid much excitement tho Cbalr ruled that it ho wore diroctly intorested Mr. Haopor had no right to vote. Mr. Hooper then withdrow the offonding votowith the remark that he had given 1t inadvortontiy,—a plea which does not holp his cago, for Massachusetts statosmon should mot vote Inadvertontly, especially if tho voto ia to put money in their own pociota. - e — A writer in tho Inler-Occan protests ngainst tho mooted romoval of tho Post-Offico to the Farwoll building, on tho corner of Monroe and Franklin stroets, as “anow Orodit Mobilier.” Ho says that “Mr. Farwell waa sont to Washing- ton by the poopla to protoct thelr interests, and not to disturb businoss contres or to speculate at tho public exponse,” This ia not a porfectly corroct atatoment of the reasons why Mr. Far- woll waa sont to Washington, He was sent thore booause he got the nomination. Ho got tho nomioation bocauso, in- ono way end snothor, ho controlled the party mechinery, It is too lato in the day for anybody to assume that ho was sent thero to protect the pooplo's interests, Ho waa not sent thoro for any such purposo. * 8o far as ho doos protect the peoplo's intercsts (and ho sooms to ba about oqual to tho average), he ex- coods the real contract under which ho took the placo. The romoval of tho Post-Ofico to' the Farwoll building would look like a mow Credit Mobilier, but it is also a fact that tho present location of tho Post-Offico is inconvenient to four-fifths of the poople who have occasion to visibit. If1it canbo brought back somewhero near tho businoss centro of the city, so that the inhabitants of the West and North Divisions can ronch it without making two trips on the horse- cara, and 80 that businesamen canronch it ensily in business hours, it ought to be done. The Cincinnati Commercial roviows the his- tory of the South Sea Bubble of 1720, and insti- tutes o comparison betwoen that schome and the Crodit Mobilier business, which prosonta somo intoresting points. In both cases, the shares which woro nogotiated were baited with alluring profits, and enormous dividends were declared, Inboth cases, the promoters bribed tho National Logielaturo and placed the sharos “ wherothey would domost good.”” Inbothcases, this conduct was denounced ns o publio scandal, and both gave rige to protracted investigations. At this point, howover, the cascs diverge. Tho testimony showed that Bir Jobn Blunt, who was tho Oakos Amesof the transnction, sold the stock to mombors of Parlismont precisely as Onkea Ames sold Oredit Mobilior to Oolfax, Brooks, Patteraon, ef al. Tho stook was held by tho Company itself for the benofit of the Parlia~ montary purchasers. No money was paid down, nor was suy security given by the purchasera to the Company. If tho stock advanced, the en- bancement was made good to thom, asin the cago of the Oredit Mobilior dividonds. Tho re- sult of the investigation was that six mom- bors of Parliament, who had been proved guilly of nccopting tho stock, wore expolled, and ‘aftorward all tho Directors of tho COompany wero compelled to ronder en inventory of tholr_ostatos, which wero conflscatod to tho amount of two million pounds sterling to make roparation in part for tho mischief they had done. Tho onrnestness with which Parliament conducted its investigations and tho complote- noess of its results are in striking contrast to the lamo and impotent conclusion which Congresa has ronched in the Credit Mobilier matter, in the faco of testimony much more damaging than that which led to ‘tho expulsion of the South Sen viotims, aud the summary punishment of tho Dircctors of the schemo. THB SENATE CREDIT MOBILIER BEFORT, The Sounate Committeo on Credit Mobilier has shown courage snd flrmnoesa that ard & strong refloction upon the action of tho Houso with re- spoct to its moembors, It found that Bemstor Pattorson accepted Credit Mobilior stock and the dividonds thereon from Oakes Amos, and, aftor Laving boen fully informed of tho char~ acter of the transaction, continued his dealings with Ames, They found, also, that Senator Pat- terson had throughout resorted to evasions and falsehood to escepo responsibility, and thoy ro- ported those facts without circumlocntion, ac- companied by a resolution that Pattorson be ex- polled, The Committoo was unanimous in the roport. The throo Ropublican Senators signing it wero Norill, of Maino; Beott, of Pennsyl- vania; and Wright, of Towa. Sovoral membors of the Houso mado, in writ- {ng and somo of themon onth, donials of having rocolvod oithor stock or dividends, which denials wore subsequently shown to be falee. Mr. Bingham was the only man implicated who did not add falechood to his original weaknoss. Thoy were as guilty as Patterson, excopt that the latter waa moro profuse and cir- cumstantial in his donials, and made them before the Committee, Each of thomy had accopted atock and dividends, and bad aftorward donied it. Patterson gid no more, save that his donials were ropoated be« fogo the Committoo undor osth, The Honato Commjtteo seom to placo somo storo ubun Sen- atorial veracity, ss they commont rather sharply upon the provarication of Bonator Wilson to a mnowapapor correspondent, The action and report of the Committeo, though inno wisp roforring to Mr. Colfax, bear atrongly by implication upon his conduct. His caso ls triotly parallol to that of Patterson, {n the mautter of original accoptance of the stook, and in tho subsequent falsehood and inconsistoncy of oxplanation. Evory wordof comment on Pat- toreon applies aqually to Colfax. The original aot of racolving and keepivg tho stock with & knowledge of jts charagter, and the subsoquent falschood, domand, jn tho judgment of the Com- mitteo, tho expulsion of Patterson, IfMr, Qolfax were & momber of tho Benate, the roport of the |- sad 136@20 higher, closiog [ fl_lg _lqr rogular | Commitige fB bis cago Would probably have - becomes Acting Mayor for the time being. been the same, DBolng Vico-Drosident, and not under the jurisdiotion of the Bonato, tho Com- mitteo made no roforenco to his caso, Ho stonds, thoroforo, condomned only by tho impli- cation. It romaina to be seon, howevor, whothor tho Bonato, as a body, shares with tho Commit- teo this high ostimato of Sonatorlal honor and dignity, or whother, liko tho Houso, it will sproad {ts shiold ovor bribory when accompanied by falschood uttered for tho bLonofit of the party. In tho mesntimo, tho Senato Committeo aro ontitled to all honor for the foarloss mannor in which they have performod thelr duty,—the most disagreeablo duty that pertains to thelr office, THE NEW YORK CITY OHARTER. An entiroly now and extremoly portisan City Ohartor for the government of New York hag beon submitted to tho Btato Logislature. Its mast notablo features aro as followa: 1. Tho Boerd of Assistant Aldermon is nbollshed,. and tho legislativo powor is vested sololy in tho Board of Aldermen, tho manner of ohoosing which s somowhat similar to that ndopted in the caso of tho Board of County Com- missloners in Cook County. At tho eleotion of 1874, fitteon Aldermon will be clooted on the goneral tickot in sots of five, each sot to hold offico reepa'nflvnly for ono yoar, two years, and three years, After this there will bo an cleotion of fivo Aldormon every yoar, who will hold office for throo years. Tho Doard of Aldormen may not hold secrot sessiona. It can puss an ordi- nenco over the Mayor's veto by a two-thirds vote. 2. The Mayor Is to bo eleoted for two yoars, his place in caso of abaonco to be filled by tho Proaident of the Board of Aldermon, who The annunl exponses of tho Mayor's offico aro limited to §20,000, and the Mayor may bo romoved by tho Govornor of tho Btato for cause. o 8. ‘The appointing power s divided be- twoen the Mayor and tho Board of Aldermon. Tho Mayor nominates, and tho Board of Alder- ‘men may confirm or roject, The disadvantago of the Mayor, however, consists in the provision that, whoro thero is & faflure to agree upon an appointment for twenty days, the Mayor and tho Aldormon are roguired to meot affl olect in jolnt convention, when the: Mayor | has simply ono voto. Heads of departments may bo removed by tho Mayor upon written charges, but the romoval must be confirmed by & two-thirds vote of the Board of Aldermen. 4, There are to bo elavon departmonts, instead of ton, as herotofore, the Bureau of Taxes and Asgossmonts having boen msdo a separate de partmont. These, dopartments consist of tho Finnnce, tho Law, the Police, the Public Works, Charitios and Correction, Firo, Hoalih, Park, Dooks, Buildings, Taxes, and Assessmonts. Among the incldental provisions of the char- teris ono for tho spplication of the rotation principle to noarly all tho dopartments of the City Governmont, There is & Commission of Accounts, consisting of tho Mayor, Commis-~ sioner of Publio Works, and President of the Board of Taxes and Assessments, to oxamino tho oity accounts from time to time. Thero is slso o provision by which every tox-payer may . inspect the accounts under cor- tain conditiona. - Tho Board of Apportionment and Audit is to conaist of the Mayor, the Comp- troller, Prosidont of th¢ Board of Aldermen, and President of tho Dopartment of. Taxes nnd Assossments. Tho Board of Aldermen may discuss tho estimatos, but thelr rxecommonda- tions can bo overrnled by a majority of the Board of Appurtionment. The chartor reduces ealarion in some instances, and Incresgos thom in othors. year. Theo chiof opposition to the charter is directed sgainat tho provisions rolating to thie appointing power, which is virtually taken away from the Mayor. Had the 'chartor provided that the Board of Aldormen should havo the privilege of = confirming or rojooting simply, thia check on the Mayor's discretionary power might ‘be advisable. But when a diffor- ence of opinion occurs, the appointing power is thrown into the hands of tho Aldermen; and this fact is pufficiont to create, or at least to in- vito, n differonco of opinion at any time, After refusing for ‘twonty days to confirm tho Mayor's appointmonts, tho Aldormen meot and elect a man'of tholr own choico, the"Mayor having only one vote. The power of removal is also taken from the Mayor, by requiring the approval of two-thirds of the Beard of Aldormen. This foa- ture of thp charter is strenuously opposed by Mr. Havemeyer, tho presont Mayor, by Mr, Til- den, by‘the Nation, the World, and tho Committeo of Boventy. It ‘would also oppear that tho failare to reduce tho number of departments {s n werious ob- jection to tho proposod charter. Thoy aroleft in sbout s irresponsible an attitude as bofore, by reason of tho difficulties which attend tho ex- ercise of the appointing and removing power. They sorvo to complicate the system of municl- pal govornmont, dd largely to the expensos of city, and sproad the temptations and opportuni- tles for corruption, A largo meeting was hold in New York on Tuosday evening to protest againat tho measure, in which the names of Tom Murphy, Decoy Bliss, and U, B. Commissioner Davenport wore liberally hissed; and the chartor was conplod with Credit Mobilior, Southern carpot-bagism, and othor popular topics of the day. CHUROH AND BTATE, The advooates of the roligions amendment of tho Constitution of the United Btates are now holding thoir Tenth Aonual Convention in New York, Asfarps the movement to secure tho tocoguition of God in the Constjtution is con- corngd, the Convention has thrown o now light npon the subject,and, According to tho admissions of tho annual roport, no progresa has boon mado during the year. Both the action and arguments of tho Convention are simply ropetitions of what hns been dono many timos bofora; but this Con- yention haa gono & stop further than its prede- cessors, in favpring » movement to mako the .Congtitutions . pf the Unlted Btates ard of tho govoral Btates sclmowledge Christianity, to tho exclusion of what its mom- ‘bers donominato infidolity, atheism, Judalsm, and poganism. In order to accomplish thls, s part of the third seotion, Article 6, providing that nq raligious test shall ever be roquired pa a qualification to any ofilce or public trust nuder the United Btatos, and the first amendment, which still further strongthens this provision, by Qeolaring that Congress ehall mako no’ law ro- spocting an ostablishment of religion or prohib: iting tho free exorclso thercof, must bo ox- pungod from the Conatitution, and in thele stead b must .acknowlodge Obrls: tlanity,~which Ohristianity does not mean tho jnhorent roligious gentiment, which overy mau Poosgsacs Jn gomo dogree, bub Aldormon axe-to racaive €8,000a tho dogmatio theology of cortain forms and oroeds. This narrow and absurd proposition would at onco disqualify the Jows, Mormons, Mohammodans, the sorahipors of Joms sud Buddhs, DPositiviats, Bpiritualists, and Froe- Thinkers, and {lo various commuunl seots of roliglonists, from enjoylng tho blossiugs of o ropnblican form of governmont, which was in- stitutod oxprossly to guarantoo froodom of thought, npeoch, government, cnd roligion. The proposition, howover, 18 not so dungerous for ‘what it would immediatoly accomplish, a8 for the inovitablo results whioh would follow-the primal stop, nnd gradually onforco a Nationnl roligion, and make priosteraft an oqual, if not superior, powor in the adminiatration of tho Governmont, Make the acknowlodgment of Ohristinnity an ossential to tho Constitution, and tho inovitable question ariges, What fs Obristianity? Infidol- ity, athoism, Judnism, and paganism aro alroady dofined by tho advocates of this proposition as unchristian, so that theso oan bo loft out of the conalderation. Tho discussion must thon be con- flned to Protestantism and Roman Catholiclam, and, of course, would be doclded in favor of ono or tho ather, acoording to tho respeativo strength and influonce of tho two forms of religlous faith, The United Btates being & Prot- cstant country, it must follow that the. Roman Oatholics wonld bo the noxt to bo placed outslde the palo of Christianity. The samo narrow apirit which would ostracise Jows, Mo-~ bammedans, Grecks, and Roman Oatholics would oventually discriminate against cortain Protestant socts, liko tho Unitarians, Universal- 1sts, Bwedenborgians, High-Churchmen, and the various clagaes of radical thinkers, and pro- nounco them unchrstian also. The logical rosult would bo, that tho only soct which would be tolorated would be the dominant Protestant soot, which would at onco take possossion of the Government, and Church and Stato would bo as closoly interwoven and as rigidly intolorant ns thoy aro in Turkey, or Russia, or Egypt. . Bishop Glimour, of tho Roman Oatholio Diocese of QOloveland, haa rocontly " isswed n Lenton Pastoral on tho subject of common schools, which, whilo it antagonizes the saotion of the New York Convention, as far as the special form of belief is concorned, involves tho same gencral results, Tho Now York Conveution would havo Christianity, as roprosented by certain nsects, suprome. The Oleveland Bishop would have Roman Catholiciem suprome. Under the ono, wae ghould have a Mothodist or Baptist govern- mont, 08 the case might bo; under the othor, n Roman Catholic government, end compulsory religion in both inatances. Bishop Gilmour eays, * Wo must loarn -~ that we are Oatholics first and citizens next. Cathollci- ty doos not bring us in conflict with tho Btate, yot it toachos that God is above man and the Church is shove tho Btate.” This dangerous doctrino is not o plon for tho rights of individual conscionco, but is & claim that n particular form of faith, crystallized in the Roman Catholio Church, has the paramount right to rule not only tho consclonce, but the civil and social rela~ tions of mon in dofianco of the authority of tho law. This proposition, if carriod out, would log- ioally load to tho samo results as the proposi- tion of the Neow York Convention, and would make tho ropublican form of government impossiblo, a8 ita vory ground-work is in contra- vention of both these propositions, This thosis of the Catholic Bishop turns upon the much-vox~ od schaol question, which it 18 not nacessary to disouss in this comncction. It ia clear thab Gatholics have tho right to demand that their children shall not be compsllod to receive a seo- tarlan oducation, It is aqually clear that tHoy have no right to demand that the schools shall Lo adminiatorod fn thelr form of faith, Either of these sssumpiions would be wunrepubli- can, If the Catholica are discontented, thoy must . provide & substitute which will meet thelr roligious requirements, Tho - Bishop may rightfully object to the fact that o particular form of roligious teaching isintroducod into the publio schools; but agalnsh tho fact that tho achools aronot under the direc- tion of his Church he has no ground for objeo- tion. The direction of secular education belongs to tho Btate, not to the Church, whother Catho- lio or Protestant, The Constitution’ of the United Btates, by virtuo of tho provisions wo have alrendy quoted, secures absoluto religious equality to all socts, and the freedom of 1o« ligious opinion to every man, 8o long as saots aid individuals donot violato public morality. The moment that guarantee is disturbed, the ropyblican form of government is. disturbed also, Any other assumption ostablishes a re- ligions despotism, with tho innumerable ovils which always follow in its train, Discoveries in Western Americas TFive years ngo, in 1808, o great river gathor- ing its wators for a thousand miles among the deop gorges and snow-clad summite of tho Rocky Mountains plungod fnto thos ¢ Grand Canon " of the Colorado, and was loat for 600 ‘milos, ll, a8 was supposed, it was found within & hundred or two miles of tho Guif of Califor- nig, For half & contury the nation had owned the mountsing in which -it lad its orl- gin, and for ncarly belf that timo tho hoad of tho gulf into which it pourod its wators; but tho desort wastes through which it ran wero ns much & mystery as the sources of tho Nilo, Mountein trappors and Indian scouts had follow- ed down the Groon and the Grand Rivers to _ whoro they unite and form the Oolorado of the Wost; Fremont and Gunni~ son had crossod them at varions points ; Liout.

Powell, & professor in tho Illi- nols Normal Univorsity, obtained from Congross, in tho winter of 1867-8, an approprintion in tho shape of trausportation and rations for a small porty, with whom he proposed to follow the Colorado down to the Guif of Caplifornia. In the spring of '68 Lo orossed the Borthoud Pass of the Rooky Mountains, west of Goorgetown, and folloved down tho Grand River to Southwostorn Colorado, where most of hig party went into winter quarters, Maj, Powoll roturned to this city, hod four boats built of poouliar construction and great strongth, and, carly in tho spring of 1809, Lo had thiom trans- ported by tho Union Pacifio Railway to Groon River. Thero they were launched, and ho com- monged his long and dangerous voyage down the Grecn, a prinoipal branch of tho Colorado, to the Gulfof Oalifornis. Tho doscription of the canon of tho Greon through the Ulintah Moun- taing, fully’detailod at the time in our columns by Maj,-Powell himsolf, added a now and won- derful chaptor to our knowledgo of tho topog- raphy of tho country, In due timo the tiny floot, with 1tg brave orew, arrivod at the hoad of tho Grand Oanon of tho Colorado, and plunged into ite myatorious recesses, After months of toil mod dangers without nwwmber; after tho logs of somo of tho boats whilo shoot- fjug the rapids; many Lafvbreadth cscapes from drowning, all of which have boon graphionlly dosoribed to tho roaders of Tax Tripuse, Maj.
