Dmeancm will preside over ts deliberations, and there 18 little doubt that Gormany will have a large influence in deciding the most delicate points in the controversy. It ssems to be generally oonceded that the action of the Congress will not bo unfavorablo to Russia; that she will get tho best portlon of Bossarabis, and all tho important European and Asiatlo foriresses which were virtuale ly abandoned by the ©Porte In tho proliminary peaco treaty. Tho most romarkablo prodlotion made in connection with this moeeting of the Plenipotentiaries is that the French Monarchists of all shades will endeavor to got an oxpression from the COongross which will check the tendency to. waords Liberalism in Germany, and give the Bonapartists, Bourbons, and Orleanists an. other chaneo In Paria, A doliborato effort on tho part of certain Democrats to prove that forty-two membors of Congress belonging to their own party had engaged in a disreputable compact and onght not to be re-elected. Dutrea was just tho man for this busincss. Ie wanted to reach Hares by conneoting him with the ' Bouthern Brigadiers," and in this way ho would at the samo time expose the part that the Bouthern membora had taken in the al- legod contract. This ia the mystery of Bur- Lxa'’s Introduction of tho Booups Baxea dispatch to Youwa, of Columbus, 0. Tt is intended as a stepping-stone in the effort to connect Prosident Havzs and the Southern Democrats in a political compact or bargain, This purpose of the Porrzn-Burren Com- mittee, which Ben was speoially appoluted 46 carry out, will be as much of a fnilure as every other feature of the pretended investi- gation, Thoro was mo bargain botweon IIaxzs and the Southern Conservatives. AMr. Haxzs' friouds may have mnde efforis to con~ vinco the Bouthern Consorvatives that Haxes meant all ho sald in his letter of acooptance, and would carry out in good faith all he was publioly and officially pledged to cnrry ont The Bouthern Oonaervatives accepted theso sasurances as true, and thoy have not been deceived. There was nothing immoral or improper in that. The Bouthorn Con- servatives proforred peace, conciliation, and “ homs rulo " under 1iaxes to civil war and anarchy under TiLpEN as 8 usurper, For this, theformer filibusters and obstructioniste now desire that theso Southern Conserv- atives shall give way to Bourbons who will join in the revolutionary scheme. Aud tho Bouthorn Conservatives havo fallen victims to this conspiracy | thoir own benefit and for the employment of Iabor in produotivd worka. The money exponded by tha Governmont oa pnblic works is, aa {s notorlous, largoly consumed befors one dollar of wages is paid out. That which Ia expended producos no results of any possible value, Of all the money expended for rivors and harbors dur- ing the Inst forty years thers ia nothing now exlating that is nsoful, or of the loast valne, that conld not have boen constructed for 10 por cont of the sum appropristed, The rest hias boon washed awny, and countless ** har- bora” constructed by Government money have porished in tho momory of tho oldest and boldest navigators, It this 95,000,000, instoad of thus boing wasted and squandered, wero loft in tho hands of the poople of this Btate, thoy would invest avery dollar of it in productive labor, It would represent 5,000,000 days' Iabor nt 81 por day., It would furnish the means to put odditional men at work on farms, in the mioes, in tha mills and footorfes, in the .workshops, on the railronds, in warshonses, and as team- sters, portors, and laborera; it would give wagos to thoneands of women, and this 26,000,000 paid out for wages would be exponded for anyequal value of food snd clothing, and machinery and tools; aud at the end of tho year the 25,000,000 expended for Iabor would have to show as tho product of that labor substantial additions fo the wenlth of tho Btato and of the conutry to n valuo equal to the original sum maltiplied by the number of times it was used and turned over by the people, In the ono case, the whols sum appro. printed by Congress will be sunk and wastod, leaving no prodact to show for what it was oxpended. In the othor caso, boing invested in productive Inbor, the result will be the expondituro of the sum repeatedly during tho yoar, and each expanditure producing & roturn oqual in substantinl value. And yet thase Congressmon vote this money andlevy theso taxes under tho pretext of ** beneflt- ting Jabor.” PARTISAN MEANNESS, In their ongorncas to connect tho Presidont with the fraud alleged to have been com. mitted by Axperson and others, the Porrzn iovestigators in Washington procced upon the sesumption that Bocrotary Buenway, Sran- 15 Matroxws, and other Republicans wore coguizant of this fraud, ond to prevent AXpERSON from oxposing It attempted to got liim sppointed to an offico Le would acoopt. ‘They go farther than this, and allege that the Prosident was particeps criminis, and, having knowlodge of tho fraud, also enterod into the conspiracy to cover it up by securing for Anpznson the position ha sought., This thoory the investigators attempted to estab- lish by documentary cvidonco, and called upon the Prosident to furnish a transcript of tho rocords in tho cnse, which they relled upon to establish his connoction with the {frand, hoping at the vory loast to ostablish the fact that he had a guilty knowledge of it. ‘What docs this transcript of the record show? DBotween tho 6th and 10th of March, 1877, the President recoivod lettors from the editor of tho Steubouvills (0.) Herald, from Danrary, Nasg, and Leoxanp, of tho Lounisi- ana dolegation, and ox-Gov. Kerroao, set- ting forth thia sorvicos Awpensox had rendor- od tho party, and urging his appolutment to a Consulato, These indorsements wore still farther emphasized by a strong letter from Branrex Marrarws to the Secrotary of Btate, moking substantially the same stato. monts and request, Braxrey Marrnews had also forwarded Axpzasox's personal applica- tion, made on tho B,d) of April, with hls in. dorsement ** for important ronsons I speclal- ly roquast that this roquest be complied with,” and on the 14th of April thoso doon- ments wero roforred to the Becretary of Blato by direction of the Presi- dont, Thus far the doouments in the caso had takon the ocustomary chaunel, and the conventional reforonco had boon made anad nothing irrogular appoars upon the part of the Preaidont, Ho lad given Awpxnson's applioationa tho direotion that it is usual to givanll others of tho samo kind. On the 17th of May tho Booretary of State recolved an anonymous roquest from ‘“John W. Bulldozer,” * imploring you if you havo any vacant Consulship at any carthquake-shaken point, any cholora-infected ocity, any yellow- fover polnt, or small-pox-ridden community, or any vacant Commissionorship to tho florcost of our Indian tribes, to sond him to one of theso places at once, beaauss we con- sider tho said ANpxnsox n person who has just sufilolont ocharacter ‘to serve the party that payas tho most money, and of the class of pstriots who can best sorvo their country by dylog for it." John W, Bulldozer ovi. dently know Axpzasox, and eoxactly covered his case. Thoro conld not have been amore porfeot charactorization of this po- litical blackmailer, This, however, was an anonymoua lettor whioh did nos call for offi- cial reforonco, although it was indorsed sa charges against Awpzmsoy, and filod away with the rest of the rocord, on the 23th of May. Tho noxt day, the Preaidont recelved the Srataut lotter, asking him to withhold the appointmont of AxpEnsox as Consul to Funohal, the commission for whick had besn lusued by Bacretary Evaxrs, and sotting forth reasons for tho aame. On thad very day the President indorsed the lotter and referred it to the Beoretary, and, in sddition to this, sont the following lotter to him, which put an end to Axpeasox’s hopea of gotting an offioe: Exgcurive Maxsion, Wasnixetoy, Maey 20, 1877, ~Dxan M, Bxcnrrany: If the comnilssion which the t'resident siygned on the 24th 1o i3 Jawxs E.

K, Rouzns, Private Secrotary, 7% tho Becratary of Btate; Pressat. 7 The abovo letter completoly demolishes the story of the Porrzx cliques of agitators that the President was party toa fraud or hiad any knowledge of fraud. Bo far from this, it shows that, upon recoipt of the very firut protost, ho lost po time in waking it known, and referred it to the Bsozotary with tho roquest to withhold the commission, up- on the very day ho rocelved it, If the Pres- ident had boon guilty of conniving at a froud, bad been » party to it, or had any knowledge of it, it stands to reason that he would not have adopted the vory course that would expose him, but would have given himn any office he dosired in ordor to seal bis mouth, Instead of this, Le put his foot upon the sppointment tho very day that he received warning ANpxzsoN wos a bad man. If Lo lLad boen concorned in this froud as alleged by the Demoorats, Axpxusox would have been on his way to Funchal long before the recelpt of the Braaomz letter, and would have been roquested ‘not to stop on the order of his going. 'The record, placed in ovidence by the Domocrats themselves, shows that ho acted the part of a high-minded, honorablo man, aud of a failhfal publio officer, by squelching sn appointment noy At to be wmado on the very dsy that ho was made awaro of §t. And yot thory is not s Dumo- cratlo papor in this conntry that has had manlinass onongh to place tho Prosident’s final letter beforo ita roadera in its propor connection, or with that degres of promi. nenco necossary to show how groundless and maliclous was the charge mndo against him, On the other hand, in discussing the ques. tion, thoy convenjently make no referonoo to it. the natnre of divil process, whataver may ba the technioal and outwand form of that process, such privilege will inure to protect the party.” (Wellssley's Oass, Russell and AMyine's Reports, IT., 678). As it is neithor trerson, felony, nor a breach of the pesoce o snub the Porrza Committeo,.and as no Court in Wnshington has the power to compel a member of the Benate to appear befora it s a witness, it will puzzle Burrzs, PorTzm & Co. sither to squeeze the Ohlo Benator A2 A witnoess, or Lo punish him for contempt. This question of the personal pnvilego of {he mambers of a leglslative body is held to bs so important in prinoiple and B0 necessary to tho acoomplishment of legis. Intive buainess that every Btate in the Unfon has incorporated some portion of it into jts orghnicIaw. Exomption of the persons of mombers from arreat, scoording to the com. mon parliamentary law of England, {s the rulo in most of the Btates, while in others it is carriod 8o far as to exempt the eststes of members from attachment, In Virginia this anolent extonsion of privilega is onrried so far as to oxempt servanis from arreat, In Rhode Island and Mlichigan the Constitution doclares that the members shall not be subject 1o, any Jlegsl process whatsver. It Porrzm & Co. will consult A, Brame, who {5 undonbtedly the boat parliamentarian now in Washington, they will be iriformed that Bramrxy Mattnewa Is just now standing upon the imprognable rock of privilegs from which he cannot be carried by any subposna that they can issne ; and if the procodonts were not safficient, it Is likely, if the issue is forced upon i, that the Benate will rosist the enoroachments of the House and defond its own rights and dignity in the porson of ono of ita own mombers, Nor fe it likely thatthe House, in iis insane zoa! for pressing this investigation, will be anxious to cstab- lish a precedent that might return at no dis. tant day to plaguo the inventors, It seems to us that it wonld havo besn more manly in Matrnxws to. have waived all privilege and ceremony and appeared betore the Commit- teo at onoe ; but it looks to othors, in view of tho ar-parts moanness that has boon char- noteristio of the Truosx Domocracy at every step of this fraud-hunting business, that decont men are sxcusable for thwarting them ot all pointa and by every logitimate mothod. THE SOUTHERN POLIOY. Prosident Hares has boon nssailed evor sinco his inanguration for what has boon styled his ‘‘Southorn policy.”" Every Re- publican who for any cause, or bacauso of ooy personal grievanco, kas consldored it to be hia duty to donounce tho Prosidont or to opposa the Administration has justified him- self on the ground of the President’s South- orn policy. All these mon who have thus donouncod the Prosident have instituted comparisons between him and President Gnant, and they are now, almost with- out an exception, urging the re-olec- tion of OraNT as s retum to o Houthern polloy antagonistio to that ndopted by Prosident Harns, Ono of the favorits charges sgainet Ilaves is that he dolivered the Ropublican States of Louisiaua, Flotids, and South Carolina to the Demo- arats, sscrifleing the party in the country, aud espeolally sacrificlng the Republicans in those Btatos. During tho last years of Gen, Guaxt's Ad- ministration thoro were rival Btate Govern- menta, onch olalming fo be-legnl, in the Statoa of Arkonsas and Toxas, In each of these States thero wos an appeal to arms. Tho Ropublioan Governors, {n possession, appealed to Prosident Gnaxz for troops to sustain them, He rofused, apd by rofus- ing compelled the Republican Btate Govern- ments to abdicate and leave thoss Btates in the hands of tho Democrata, In Mississippl, the Ropublioan QGovernor, elected by an unquestioned majority and in posacesion of the BStato, appealed to the Proaldent for troops to sustain his authority agalnat domostio violonco and usurpation. Presidont Gnanr refused the aid, and the Ropublican Governor was cowpelled to fly from the State and loave Misalssippl in the haunds of the Domoorats. In January, 1877, Krrroaa, then Governor of Loulsiana, ap- pealed to Prosidont Gmaxt to ordor the troops to ald Pacxazp and the Republican Btato Government to be inaugurated, they boing opposed by the Niomorrs Btate .Gov- ernmont, but the President peremptorily re. fused in the following pointed letter; wasuxarox, D, C., Jav. 7, 1877.—To Got.

It is very mnch ot the samo character as tho brick which the Clown throws ot Pantaloon in tho pantomime,— hord only in appearancs, but really so soft that it ean't hurt anybody. Bovros Baxea is tho namo of the hitherto obscure Individaal whom Buttes uses {n tho despernte effort to connect tho President with the investigation now goingon, This mnan BARER, it seems, waa a clerk in the Post-Office durlog tho lat- tor part of Gmant's torm, having been Ap- pointed at tho special solicitation of the late Henator Mortox; but ho wes disthissed in March shortly after Havzs' inauguration, A little later on, Gov. MonTon nnd others se- cured him o second nppointment,—this time 0s 8 Bpecial Agont, It appenrs, then, that neithor Presidont Harxs nor Postmaster Genoral Ker gave the man a placo na A ro- ward, or personally know or cared anything about him ono way or the other. But Bur. ren's introduction of tho matter befora tho Porrea Committeo In itsol? Is absurd, not merely bacauso it hsa no possible con- nection with tho investigation, but nlso bocause ¢ is on old story published a yoar 8go, nnd not considered then, auy moro than now, worthy of sny public attention. ‘While we doubt whother Mr, Baxea repre- sented opy vory distinguished coteris of Bouthorn mon. sud are sure that Mr, Haves never gave tho slightost consideration to the dispatch ho sent, Mr. Baxzn had s por- feot right to sond that dispateh, and there wos nothing impropoer in its contoxt, Not o man is named in the Daxes dispateh who would not have mnde a respectable member of any Onbinet; two or throo of those named wero Southern Ropublicans; and tho . one finally appointed to n Onbinet position—ex. Sonator Kxx—was tho ono least urged by this solf-appointed counselor to the incom- ing Administration. Tho fact is perfectly woll-known that the appointmont of one or more Bouthern men to Oabinot positiona waa thoronghly ean- vassed by tha friends of Prealdent Havea for goma timo previous to the inauguration. DBazer had probably heard of thls, and his egotism made him want to have a finger in the ple; but there inrenson to bolieve that the choica had beon dotermined bofore Ba- xxn volunteerod his suggestions, and it is certain that his suggostions had nothing to do with the rosult, aa neither Mr, Hares, nor his frionds and advisers, had ever heard of such o porson na BDourps Baxen. Among thoso whoso names wero considered for Oabinot positions from the South wero Judgo Hanrax, now on the Suprome Bench, and ox-Beoretary BrisTow, of Kontucky ; and ox-Attorney Goneral Axenmax, of Goor- gin, a8 also Judge Warges, from the samo Btatey Col. Vax Horwe, of Missourl, a life- long Republican ; ex-Senator Poox, of North Qarolinn; Jonn Haxoock, of Texns; Benntor Ky, of Tennocssee, and still othora. The choioo fell upon Key, partly bacauso Tennos- s0e was o good State to solech from, partly bocause Kex was not i original secessiontst, and largely becauso, just beforo making his oxit from the Bonate, ho had made a patriot- jo, ocomservative, and concillatory spoech which falrly roflected thae vory views which Prosldent Hares desired to have rapresented in hisCabinotas tothorelations botweon North and Bouth, Tho chofco baa proved to ba an oxcollont one, Postmaster-General Ky has succecded in gaining tho good will of both sootions, though ho started out in o most embarrassing position. Ho is to.day Jess obuoxions to tha Implacable Hopublicans who opposo the Admistration than is Sonvaz, or Evants, or Drvews, and these same im- placables would probably ask the'removal of these throe gentlomen before reaching Kxv. Tho revival of the obscure BovLps Baxes dispotch, therefore, fs utterly insignificant in ftsol? ; it is moroly intonded to lead up to somothing elso which we havs oxplained in anothor articlo, S——— MATTHEWS VERSUS POTTER. Thore cannot be a particle of doubt in the mind of avy man woll vorsed in parliament- ary law that Bepator Marrmews need not sppoar befors the Porrzs Fraud Committes unless he pleases s0 to do. Mo can stand upon his privilege as a Benator, if he so eloots, and all the procedents that have been eatablished from time immemorial by par- liamontary bodies will justify bim in the position ho bas assumed. Of course {tisa mattor of tasto with My, Marrnzws whether he appears as a witness or not,—~tho general opinton being that he should not stand upon tho order of hia golog, but go atonce and tell all ho knows; but it Le chooses to stay awny there ia no power of the Porrzn Com- miitee noro? the House that It can invoke that can ocompel him to attend. 3Mr, Marraews does not signify his inten- tion o avall himsel? of the preroga- tive of & membor of the Benate in Lis lotter to Mr, Porrzs, but tho debate which followed his refusal to appear that took place in the Committes between Bur. 1xn and Oox olearly shows that the subject of privilege was uppermost in thelr minds. Cox ovidently saw the vantage-ground occu. pled by Marruzws, but Bsx Burees, whols & oriminal laywer and has no conception of corrcot parlismentary practice except to violate it, fancied that there werc no limits to the powersof his Committee, Burrzn sald in his loose way that **if any one man can stay away from the Committes on any ples, then any other mau can stay away, and great iujustics will ba done mot only to the United Btates, which we represent, but to the defondants, or the persons implicated, or persons acoused.” Andagaln in reply to Cox hesaid he had not examined the books to soe what the privilages of a member of the Benktowere. 1f he had looked Into thebooks hio would have found that there is abundaut autbority to sustain Mr. MarTazws, even in rosisting the subpmua of the Committes, In Loth branches of the Dritish Parliament the privileges of the mombers are founded on ths necessity of their existence to enable a legislative body to perform its appropriate funotions, and Braoxsrons lays down the doctrine that this privilege was originally eatablished in order to protect the members from boing oppressed by the power of the Crown, In regard to the cascs to which this privilege oxtends, Bir Enwazp Coxx says that, 4‘gonerally, tho privilege of Parlinment do hold, unless it be In three cases, namo- ly: treason, folony, aod the peace,” and Lord Obancellor Humovomiw went still further, and lald down the plain. obvious rule, viz.: ¢ That, with respect to everything which i in its nature criminal, the priviloge of Parliament will be no pro- tection; but with reapect to everythingin Specimen coples ront 1ree.

EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION. Soactal Dispateh o The 1ribune. Nsaw Yorx, June 11.~Trinity Church has seldom contsined s0 many clergymen aa wera to-day getharsd benesth its arches to tako part in the consecration to the Bishoprie of Bpring- field, liL, of the Rev. George F. Scymour, Dean of the Theological Beminary, Asu Im- mense andlence filled the church, The vestry door was thrown open at 11 o’clock, and & line of clergymen in surplices marched in couples down the aisle. The clergy wers abont 150 in number, At a short interval followed the cholr of Trinity, whizh saog ‘*The Church's One Foundatlon," and next came the Bishops, including Blshiop Potter, of New York; Blshop Quintard, of Tenneasce; Dishop Neoly, of Maloe; Dishop Harper, of New Zoslandj Bishop Searborough, of New Jeraey; Blshop Clarkson, of Nebraska: Blshop Odenhelmer, of Northern New Jersoy; Blahop Lasy, of Easton; Bishop McLaren, of !llinols; aud Blshop Southgate. Behind the Dishops marched the Bishop-elect clad in tho rochet conferred during the ceremony, The cholr and Bishops took thelr places in the chancel. The Bishop-elect occupled s chair at the ond of the centre alsic betweon the Rev. Dr. Dix, of Trin- ity, and the Rev. Dr. Hodges, of Baltimore. Tho rest of tho clergy took the seats reserved for them in the body of the church, The conscera- tion office was begun by Dlshop Clark- son, who read the Commandments and opening Collocts. Tho Epistla was read by Dlshop Scarborough and the Guapel by Bishop Odenhelmer, After tho Nicone Creed had been intoned, Bishop Lay entered the pul- pit and preached from Acts xi., 24: “Much peo- ple was,added unto the Lord.” 1o dwelt upon tho duties of Bishops to the Church, of the tlery to the Bishop, and of the laity to tho DBishops and clergy. He spoke of the needs of the Church and tho qualitles that are nocessary to make a Blshop successful {n his office. Referring to the controversy andop- position which preceded the election of Biskop Baymour, ho sald: “It Is not without opposi- tion that the brother-eloct Lias been called by the Diocese of Hpringfleld. The Cuhurch ls Jenlous concerning tho soundncss in the faith of her chief pastor, and & whisper of suapielon Is eoough to excito hor alarm. There Is no question that he whom wo are to consecrate to-day has been diligent n preaching and faithiul in sdministering the Qospel to tho poor and to ho tlost. Ho is best known to tho Church as a doctor in thoology, diligently training our young men for tho sacred min- lstry.” mumr Lay relterated the conclusion of the Investigating Committee, that the Bishop- clect deserved no susplcion of theologleal un- soundness. He closed by expressiug the hope that, under the guldance of the mew Blshop, many might be addedto the Lord. After tho acrmon, Blshop Potter, who was nppofuted by Pru-ldlu%muhuu Smith to take the chief place n his_absence, took his soat In frout ot tho nitar, The Rer. Dr. Dix and the Rey. Dr. flodzes Bruentefl tlio candidato to Bishop MeLaren aud [shop QUintard, who escorted him frowmn the chancel to the ‘pmauea of Bishop Potter, Tho testimonlals of the Bishop-clect wero read from the chancel, the promise of conformity to tho doctrine and worship of the church was mado to the Bishop-elect, ana tho reaponses mada sccoraing to the prescribed ritual. The litany was chanted by Dishop Ncc]g. The candidaty then put on tho Eplscopal Habit of satin and lawn, kneit on the chancel-steps, and the #Venl Creator Bpiritua™ was suing by Bishop Necly and tho ottier Bishops, the clergy, and the chofr, Then the ten Blshops Inid thelr hands upon his hesd while Blshop Potter reat the imposition. The communfon servico then rrocuded. followed with the benedletion by lishop Potter, After tho clergy had with- drawn, the now maboxil was congratuinted beartlly by many of his brethreu of tho minlstry. — BAPTISTS, Spectal Dispatch to The Tridune, Erotw, Ill., June 11.~This afternoon tho wtasion of the forty-second anniversary of the {Cbicago Baptist Association opencd iu the First Baptist Church, Dr. C.

Monday was a field-day in Congross for the appropriation of monoy for the mero sake of expenditure. . Monoy was votod to crect pub- lic buildings oll over the South, and large additions were made to tho Riverand ITarbor bill, A more reckloss exbibition of wild oxtravagance nover disgraced the proceodings of the most profligate Congross. On Satarday last tho Houso passed one of those scandalous acta known as s Deflcionoy bill. Last year the Democralic House ro- fused to amond the laws creating oxpendi- turcs, and thoy nlso rofused to appropriate onough monoy to meot the logally-required ozpenditure, Instend of reducing logal oxponditures, thoy merely roduced ap- propriations, Tho law continnod tho ex- ponditures, loaving the Government without the money noocessary to moot thom. They went home bonsting that they had so ro- storod economy in tho expenditurcs of the Qovernmont that thoy saved no loss than $30,000,000. On Saturday Inst thoy passed .a bill making eppropriations of 4,500,000 to cover a partof tho defloiency oreatod Inst year, and this was tho third or fourth Daficienoy bill passed this yoar. Add- ing the Doflcincy bills to the rogular appropriations of last year will discloso tho faot that the Democratio Housa of Inst yaar, instend of reducing expondituros, had Inrgely increased them, and, ot the rato at which the presont Houso is voting awsy monoy, tho taxation and expenditura of the coming yoar will be startling to tho sirondy tax-ridden people of tho country. During the dobate on Monday Mr Tox Ewmio declared that if he had tho powor he would have the §35,000,000 which has been pald annualiy into the Sioking Fand appro- priated to build court-honses and post-offices throughout the conntry in ordor to give om. ploymont to workingmen, Other membors exprossed the samo sontimont, and in sym- pathy with it the Houss voted large sums for objects utterly unjustifiable, and only de- fonded on tho score of oxpending monoy for the sake of expendituro. Thore is no legal or moral requirement for this payment to tho Sinking Fund, bat thero aro two opposing dispositions whioh may be made of the money. Tho first is that indi- catod by these domagogues in Congress, to vote it to build oustom-housoes at tho heads of small streams, and then for eoxcavat. ing ditches to onnble bonts, to ascend tho croeks in the dircction of tho oustom-house, Down in South Oarolinn somo entorprising porsons have contracted for the bullding of a small stcamor to run on a small stream, tho boat to draw two feet of water, Butbeforo the boat can navigate it has been roprescnted to Congrosa that the crack will have tobe dug out to enable the Loat to float, and Congross has voted a largo sum for this year, to bo followod by addi- tional appropriations Lercaftor, until one million of dollrs shall bo expended to seoure two feet of water In the great commorcial highway, The River and Harbor bill for this yoar had, when last heard from, reschod §8,500,000, and will probably be increased to $10,000,000, tho groat bulk of that sum being nppropriated for works not one par- ticle mora logitimate or rational than that for tho ditch in Bouth Oarolina.
