Novemusa, THE CANAL.—Faitor Star > My attention has heen drawn tu the discussion of various modes of improving the canal, sach narrowing, a) ing over, etc: aud Baving had considerable experience im the matter of cutting off, deep- eping, shortening, and forciag currents in creeks, I venture (through the columns of your journal) to suggest_to my miud—a most fbi ble pian whereby «iMculties waich now arise may be overcome. I propose to lessen the width—stili retaiuing the two essential poi Bavigability aud space to carry off the surpius ‘water in times of fresh:ts—we allow the Canal to be abou! seventy-tive feetin widto now, it becomes clear that this width is too great for the amount of head-waier from the lock Rock Creek (o give current of sufficient for, t and sweep its entire length. To th aud have a conutinnal stream of clear water it is only neces- | sary to build a wall two fet nigh contracting ace-way to the width ot twenty feet. thereby allowing the remaining division of fifty feet—separated by this two feet wail—to carry of the surplus water in timés of freshet—tliis fifty feet space to be filled up to the level of the dividing wall trom the diggings of the race-way which can be done a! a comparatively low expense; it may then it necessary be bridged over and used for wha or other purposes. Onur people have become tired of the srepseless waste of public fuuds on canal, and the plan of again digging it is but another waste, sary to again ciean it cut im the course of two years. ‘The plan I propose can be clearly proved as practicable and will obviate aay further expense or trouble, and for the benefit of our citizens, it is hoped that iimay meet favor.

The Court held that the statute was plain, and gives the rightof suffrage to those in the District who had resided the necessary time in the precinct.
