A HIGHWAY TO THE SEA.

A special meeting of the members of the Produce Ex-
change has been held at New York. Governor Fairchild
was introduced by the President, and delivered a long.ad"
dress upon the practicability of building the Fox River
and Wisconsin River Canal, which is intended to con-
nect the Mississippi with Lake Michigan, and thus male
a complete water way from the Mississippi to the Atlantic
seaboard. The canal would be one hundred and eighteen
miles long, and it is estimated would cost $5,000,000.
When the Governor had finished his address, the following
resolutions were read by the Secretary, and adopted : Re-
solved, "That the subject of cheap transportation between
the grain producing and the grain consuming States be-
tween the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic cities, is not
only of great and increasing interest to producers and con-
sumers, but is of vast commercial importance, presenting
the question continually to dealers whether our products
can or cannot be exported to other countries without
loss. Neither the agriculturist nor the buyer of his pro-
ducts can prosper unless cheaper facilities are offered for
carrying between the West and the East than have hitherto
been presented by lines of land transportation. The sub-
ject is one in which the whole public are interested, and
is national in its character and its results." Resolved,
" That in the judgment of this association a water com-
munication between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan,
capable of floating freighted steamboats at the lowest
stage of water, is a great public necessity, which will be
cheaply relieved by an expenditure of five or six millions
of dollars." Resolved, " That this association earnestly
recommend this subject to the consideration of Congress
and the national government, and that a copy of these,
resolutions be sent to the Senators from this State an
to the Representatives from this city and Brooklyn.

JOHN BRIGHT—The long-continued illness of this
distinguished English Liberal statesman causes serious
anxiety as to his restoration to health. His successor in
the English Cabinet has already been indicated in the
public journals, and Mr. Bright is kept in profound
seclusion. Recent reports by mail bring the intelligence
that Mr. Bright has sunk into a hopeless condition from
softening of the brain. The contrast between the vigorous
popular orator and reformer of ten years ago, and the
helpless invalid of to-day, chews how thin are the part'.
tions between powerful intellect and imbecility, when the
man is overworked or the brain is overtasked.—Philadei"
phia Ledger.
ECONOMlES,—Seeretary Boutwell's monthly state-
ment somewhat exceeds anticipations. The reduction of
the national debt during May amounted to $14,301,962--
an excess of nearly three millions over the reduction
effected in the previous month. The gold in the Treasury
has fallen off, being now, in round figures, a hundred and
six millions, avainst one hundred and fifteen millions
month ago. The currency reserve is upward of fourteen
millions. These recurring exhibits of the working ‘3.'
Mr. Boutwell's policy should operate as standing er
deuce of the enormous excess of revenue over exPen"'.
ture and the large amount which is available for the re-
duction of taxes. In tne fifteen months' Administration
of President Grant, the expenditures of the Governinenb
have been economised and the collections of the revenue
_
enhanced to the aggregate saving of $117,900,000, to:
best proof of which is that this sum is now held in th
Sinking Fund, in United States Five-Twenty Six Per
Cent Bonds, and no increase made in the unfunded debt.
