Maynard commits himaoelf boldly to the protec tive polloy, and u-;g'uuu that Biaine's name has beon mentloned with suspicions traueactions in such away a8 to make his rc-clection as Bpesker quostionable in point of party policy, to eny nothing elso.

S TNDIAN CONTRACTS. Tho recont award of contracts for furnishing supplios to tho Indisns, mado by tho Bourd of Indian Poaco Commissionors at New York, hos creatod considerablo dissatisfaction, especially among the unsuccossful biddora. Arges are made of favoritism, and it is ovon hinted that a sort of roligious = ring had been formed to take the place of the old burosu ring. *Tho speociflo tangible charge &mhlu:ly mnfio is_that tho Commissionors in defiance of law, didnot give tho coutracta to the lowest bidders, but selected cortatn favorites, friends of tho ommissionors, who wors not tho lowest bldders. What truth thoro is in theso chargos romain to be scon. Thoy arc of so sorious n noturo, howevor, that tho Scere- of 'tho Intorior thought proper to {nstruct the Commissionor of Indian Affairs to ‘make an investigation of thom, and to him 1t in allogod that b?du wore rejoctod from purrnctg respousiblo partics, tho differonco betieon su bids and thoss of successful parties smounting to soveral hundrod thousand dollare; that is, the amount of money to be oxpended for sup- pliea is sovoral hundred thousand dollars more than it would have beon bad tho lowest bids ‘been nccopted.

Should they manifiest unduo sonsi- tivencss on this point, it would be prima facie evidence that such supervision was necded, and the Becretary should not, and wo arcsure b will not, shrink from tho discharge of his official duty in this respeot, This Board of Christian Commissioners wne not sauthorized by Con- o8, and_tho churches wero not vited By “ino.

Jomos B, Eads, a8 0x- prosuive of tho viows of tho Morohants’ Ex- obango of this olty, and by which body they woro unsnimously approved: 'The first do- olares that the doopening of the mouth of the Mississippi River is of tho vory firat importance totho intorosts of tho entiro Valley of tho Minsis- sippl, and of groat moment to tho wholo coun- try. '‘Tho solution of this problom, we bollove, witi bo achisved by olosing up all tho infarior outlots of tho river, and condensing its waters Dy a systom of jottics to ono chanmel. By this mienns o dopth of at loast twonty or twenty-two foot may bo obtainod in tho sonthwost pass, at an ouun( {nsignificaut, when cum{mmd with the many millions that will bo annusify saved to the conntry by the work, When onoco accomplished, » smail annual appropriation will sullico to maintain the required depth forover aftor- warda, Tho second urges that {n addition to the re- moval of suags, wreoks, and othor obstructions from tho channel, a comprohonsive eystem of iimprovemonts looking diraotly to the pormsnont Jocation and deoponing of & channel through the shoal places below 8t.

Tho third declaros thint this plan 18 suitod for tho improvemont of the Missouri, Illinois, Ar- kansns, Red, Ohio, Tennoesee, Oumberlaud, and many othor m{mr‘mt stronms in this valley, on each of which it sbould be applied on a Bcalo commonsurate with tho volume of the rivor and tho demands of the commorce. The fourth declares that the improvement of the upper and lower rapids of tho Missiseippl should be vigorously proaccuted until the navi- gation of thoue parts of the rivor are mado safo oud convonient, and that the improvements al- rondy commencod on all other rivers of this yal- luly 'g ould be energotically prosecuted to com- plotion. The sixth dirocts that overy practionblo water- |, routo to tho Gulf, to tho Atlantic Ocoan, orto the great lakes, which can be opened and mado safo and convonient at o rensonablo cost when compared with tho beneflis to result from it in lossoning thoe expenso of transporting tho pro- duce of this Valley to their various markets, should meot with favor from tho Gonoral Gov- ermmont, and receive fhe unanimous support of every reprosentative of this Valley in Congress. The soventh doclaros that the vast commerce depending upon tho Misalssippl River for clhoap transportation demands that no artifiolal ob- struction bo pormitted in i{s channel excopt upon the most urgent neoesnity, and that no bridge should be authorized ncross it below Bt. Louis, having spans over the stream of less width than B00 foot, and o clear height of 76 above high wator mark should be preservod under the cen- tor of the channol-spans of such bridge. iy The eighth suggosts that in consoquonce of tho breaking down of several fron bridges within thie past for yours,involving much loss of life,all Dridgos horeaftor bullt on an important railrond route, should be oxaminod iuto by a compotent commigsion, whoso dutica and powers should be dofined by Gongress, and without whoso oxami- nation and n[;gmnl no plans for such proposed bridges should be adoptad. Tho ninth asks thattho navigation of our gimn. water highways should be rolicved of the angers and delays to which it is aubjactod by the many badly constructed raiirond bridges on the Missisippl ltivor, \grequh‘lng them to oo 80 modifiod a8 to lessen the number of accidonts constantly oceurring to river craft by collision with thelr piors, and that- gonoral Bridge Iaw bo pasued goCongrou which shall define the length and height of {hoir spans and goneral control of tho location and construction of such bridges in a manner to prevent unnocessary in- ju? to tho navigation of aaid rivers. “leventh—That tho intorcuts of this valley im- poratively demand the most ecunomical means of trausportation to and from the foreign mar- kets of tho world, and tho safost and most dura- ble olass of steamors, barges, ete., for ita inland wator servico, and that it should be the duty of each ropresontative of tlus Valley in Congress to labor for tho removal of every artificial im-~ pediment which interferos with such cheap oconn transportation, or which prevents the adoption of such ¥afo nnd durablo vosscls for ita inland lmv;:gn_liun. 4'hirteenth—That wo omphatically declars that the Revenue laws should be so nmouded ns to permit shipmastera to ruxcbno ships wherover thoy can be most chenply procured. Fourteenth—That wo emphatically declare that thie Rovouuo law which forbids registry to tho ship of an American citizen, simply bocauso eho was built in a foroign laud, an us compols him to float the flag of another nation over his property, is & burdensome imposition upon the peoplo of this Valloy, and is a policy only worthy of a past ago. ‘I'he fitteenth refora to tho fact that every cly- 1lizod nation except our own uses iron hulls for vessols, and nske Oongress to ascortain the causo of this, and apply the remedy. Theo sixtecnth asks that tho laws bo 8o amend- od a8 to rostoro the prostige of the American commorclal marine, and enable it to do its share of the carrying trado of tho world, and that, if it is nocossary that Amorican iron-mastors must bo shiclded from foreign competition by laws which effectually intordict iron steamers'on the rivers of this valloy, which drive its products iuto Englishk and Gorman ships on the ocoean, thero should be some substautinl Govornmont encouragomont given to tho construction of iron vossels and such Foderal patronagoas will sustnin Amoricnn stosmship lings against this unoqual competition, and thus lift our once groat mer- chant marino fromits disgracoful inferiority, and kaep tho livos and Dropoty of our pooplé from being longer imperriled In wooden ships and flonting tindor-boxes. Ex-Senator John B, Honderson was introduced and delivered a lon, thg spoech, in which ho dis- cussed tho causes which have brought about the gront and imporative demand for iorontod tran- sit facilitios, and which lod to the controvers; now existing botween stockholders and bond- holdors of railroads on tho one sido und pro- ducors and consumers on tho other, Ho oxplained undor what oircumstoncos many of tho rallroads wero built, th. groat cost of construction, extravagant managemont, ete., and snid Lho rafirond companics must necos- snrily pay thoir running expensos and meot the intorosts on their bonds or go into bankruptoy. They also strugglo to 1m¥l dividends to their stockholdera, To du this their managors insist that thoy cannot afford to losson tho pricos of transportation, 1o sald Congress would soon Tave to meot these quostions, and to trent them impartislly would be the part of wiso statesman- ship, Ho doErucucu(l tho fixing of arbitrary schedulos, in disrogard of businoss experience, and tho nbolition of all competition in rates, un- der the plan of abolishing distinctions between compelting and non-competing points, &o. There 18 no doubt, Lio said, that the rondls fn many in- stances have violated their charters aud usurped priviloges not granted by law. Whorover this be the caso, logislative and judicial authority must corroot the ovil, It is well that tho controversy Lias bogun, It will attract public sttentlon, and Turnish a subjoct for the contom= plution of tho statosman far moro piactical and ounobling than the threndbare issucs of tha lato war, Itlooks to the materlal intorests of the Fuup]n, and will inovitably bring in othor important questions of political econ« omy.
