RscroR RE-rAKEs-The morning before yester-
day, Rector was taken by two young men at Pough-
ksepsie. 1t appears that he was assisted from this
city by some friends last Friday up as far as Yen
kers. At that place on Saturday morning, ne went
on board the steamboat Union The steward recog-
missed him and spoke 10 him. but was afraid 10 be.
tray him for fear of his lfe As soon as Rector found
he was discovered he left the boat at Sing Sing land

SiAgalarly enough, the next day he stole horse
at the back Of Verpank's Point. The horse was
tracked by two young men, and they caugh, Rector
with il, near Poughkeepsie They brought him into
town, and he was recognized from the description
given in the newspapers. He was brought down to
this city yesterday in the steamboat Union, heavily
ironed, and lodged in Bridewell He will now have

II In our comments upon the proceedings Of the
Committee ofthe Board of Assistant Aldermen, in
the matter of l4h ward investigation it was our in
tenon to have spoken particularly of the chairman
of that committee the assistant alderman of the 18th
ward David Graham, Jun. He is an honor alike 10
his constituents, and to the board of which he is
member, and bids fair to attain, long, very high
emnence among his fellow cirizeRs. The wing par
ty may well be proud of such men as himself and
Abel Anderson, and Carkson Crelius. Open hearted,
sincere, generous and liberal fellows; they obtain
the esteem and best wishes of all who know them.
David Graham, Jun. we have known long as an able
young lawyer, an excellent citizen gentleman and
scholar. He has added another laurel to the many
he has already earned by his courteous and dign6ed
behaviour, chairman of the committee. Mild and
temperate clear and forcble logical and eloquent he
cevery combines in his civic in his legal capacity
the fortiter in re, with The suariter in moso.

From this statement, we make the following
differences:
lst. The sum total Of the receipts has paid a
bout per cent. on the sum total OF the cost, re-
pairs and expenses. This is the rate Of interest
actually paid by the State; and hence, the Canal
has now cost the State nothing, by taxation.
3D. But next, the Income last year was more
t,an Z per cent, and has been progressively on
tie increase during the whole period in which it
vas navigable. Hence, in future, it must pay
10Th interest and part Of the capital. Consequent
J., in very few years (probaoiy not more than
en) it will have paid for ITSELF both interest and
principal, and will be q large source OF revenue
to the State.
3D. The effect Of our climate upon canals has
been tested and it is found that the canal IL only
closed on an average OF 33 days in wear, lit
tie more than month; while the New York canals
are closed neariy fosT "o"eAs. a circumstances
which makes ours proPortionaby more valuable,
especially the winter is the active season here
for produce.
4th. But again, this canal 10 already extended
30 miles further, and the effect Of it Is already
greatly augmenting our canal commerce. II may
reasonably be anticipated, that It mast soon more
than double that trade.
but small compared with others, which make the
legitimate and true advantages Of Internal I'm
provements. These are the increased value Of
property within its influence; since the opening OF
the Miami Canal, farms within ten miles Of il
have increased more than 80 per cent, in infrin-
sic value. This alone would more than pay the
entire cost Of the canal.
But our city has felt its effects even more. In
1924. tho city had scarcely recovered from the
general financial distressss Of previous year,
She then had $4,000 inhabitants. In 1926 the
canal was commenced, and tho city had 5000 in
habitants In 1880 the canal had been sometime
finished, and the city had 1900 inhabitants, OF
an increase Of 20 per cent in four Year,! Had
the canal no influence the result? Ii was not
the only cause Of rapid growth here, bot il had
great influence upon it, The same effect We may
expect from other improvements, when judicioos-
" msde. Tho Whitewater Canal, the TurnPikes,
the Miami Railroad, all will have great inlluencs
upon this city, and there IS probably no other p'ses
which, 1t Ibis time, has the same support fio@ TIE
three great staple sources Of prosperity. sef'eo'-

Tho sobs Of Inez gradually subsidized, and to-

kept the vigil Of fear and love by the couch Of the

up his watch, and whispered fondIy, ''You must
talk no longer, dearest; here comes Rose" And
that once proud girl held the cooling draught 10
herlips, and kissed her brow, as she thanked her
sweetly. Yes-Rosc Laurence, on her Bonded
knees, besought her forgiveness and rose not till
she gave her promise to be her sister. And in af-
ter years, when her own form was bowed with
1isease, and her reduced fortune made her in
