DORIS CASE. The Providence
Journal says an impression has becn in
dustrieusly circulated by The Dorriies, that
the act for the liberation of Thomas w.
DOR contains some clause, stndiously con-
triyed, TO exclude him from certain rights
Of citizenship. This is not so; all the
disabilities under which he labors are tn
eidslt 10 his conviction, not TO the act Of
liberation. To remove these disabilities
a special act is required, and that will
doubtless be passed whenever Mr.. Dor
petitions for il. II cannot be expected
that The General Assembly will do every
thing unasked.
BY the Constitution of the State, Mr..
Dorr would be ineligible to any Office,
and incapable Of voting. BY the l22d
section Of the law relating TO crimes and
pnnishments, he would be incapable Of
giving testimony as witness. To those
privileges he could only be restored by
act Of the General Assembly. He could
inherit and transmit property, sue and be
sued, take any oath necessary for his own
protection; in short, would be in posses
sion Of all the rights and privileges of any
citizen, with the two exceptions above
mentioned.
And this is the act of which Don has
refused to avail himself. This is the act
which all his friends in the General As
sembly, except five, voted against. The
case is simply this: Dorr has been con-
victed Of treason, and sentenced to impri-
sonment for life. The General Assembly
offers him his liberty if he will agree to
conduct himself as good citizen in future;
and this he refuses to do. He chooses to
reserve 10 himself the privilege Of commit
ting treason whenever he pleases.

QuITE PRoJEcT.-Mr. A. Whitney,
Of New York, has memorialized Congress
for aid in the construction Of Rail Road
from Lake Michigan, through the Rocky
Mountains, TO the mouth of the Columbia
river on the Pacific Ocean! The distance
L laid down at twen;y-one hundred and
sixty miles, and passage through the
mountain, by gorge, said not TO be diff
cult. From the Columbia river to the
Sandwich Islands is two thousand one
hundred miles TO Japan FIVE thousand
six hundred miles; To- Annoy, in China,
six thousand two hundred miles,. Max
ing from New York TO Annoy, by the way
of the Columbia, only nine thousand two
hundred miles, which, says the protector,
with rail road to the Pacific, and thence
to China by steamers, can be performed
in thirty days, being now sailing dis
lance Of nearly seventeen thousand miles,
and requiring from one hundred TO one
hundred and fifty days for its performance.
The memorialist estimates The proba-
bic cost Of the rail road at S65, 900, a
little more than double the cost of the
Erie Canal. lie asks a grant in perpe-
tuity of tract of land sixty miles in width
from the shore of the Lake to the Pacific
TO enable him TO construct tie road.

of Bagging in the United States, as, we
learn from the forthcoming report of the
Commissioner of Patents, is increasing
fast In Kentucky last year there were
SOC, hand-looms in operation, and each of
these manufacture 400 yards, on an ave-
rage, per week, or 10000 yards per
month, or 100000 year. Besides
there are five power loom factories, in In
diana, Kentucky, aud Ohio, which pro-
duce 3,S00,000. In Tennessee so hand
looms produce 100000 yards. Fifty
hand-lo,ms in Missouri produce 100000
yards, The total amount Of Bagging es-
timated for the year, and manufactured in
1914 in the West. is. $3.50, 0O0. The
average quantity Of bagging used in bailing
Cotton is six yards to. the bale; and the
amount manufactured in the year would

than enough for the cotton crop Of '4f-45

quest was held on the following day, and
the identity was established by the but
tons-the only means by which it could
be proved. OF course il could never be
known to a certainty how the life of this
unfortunate being had been lost; but the
general supposilion was either he lad
been suH,ocated by foul air, or that he had
been seized with fit of apoplexy in the
darksome sewer. The simple verdict
:" found Dead" was returned by the jury.

Life i'm the London Sewers.

Few who walk along the streets OF
london, and see mile on mile of carriage
way and foot payemen. stretching out be-
fore them, and branching off on every
side, reflect upon the vast and wonderful
schemes of sewerage that extend under
meath. From the remotest district Of
London to the river, small sewers flow
into larger ones-and these again alter
long course and many windings. into the
Thames. Were a map executed of these
suhlerranean currents, so intricate, yet so
regular, like the large veins and arteries
of the body, il would convey graver idea
Of the civilization of the capital than even
the magnificent streets, filed with the pro-
duc,ions of the world, that extend above
ground. Formed of substantial brick.
work, well arched and secure, they rep.
resent sunken capital which hss been
varously estimated a, the enormous sum
of from one million and half to two mil:
lions sterling. |, is an interesting sight
when any of the main sewers is under re-
pair in a principal ,horoughlare, to sec
how deep the excavation is and how mSny
lines of gas and fresh water will have To
be ,raversed before the strong stream of
foul water, running in its capaclous brick
channel, is reached by the workmen.
Several Of these main sewers were open
streams, meandering through the fields,
before London became so gigantic as II is
now; and among the number may be CT
ted Fleet, running from beyond lslinglon.
through Bugnigge Wells, Clerkcnwell,
Fieldham, Holburn and Faringham street,
into the Thames, once capable. it appears,
OF bearing merchant vessels as far as Ho!-
burn; the Walbrook, running from Moor
field past the Mansion House. and by the
church of st. Stephen, Walbrook, and by
Dowgaie into the Thames, and the Lang,
or Long Bourne, which still gives name
10 one of the wards of London. Any one
who has walked over Blackfriars or
Waterloo Bridge when the tide is down,
may have observed men and boys, and
occasionally women, walking upon the
shores Of the river, knee deep in slime,
with baskets upon their backs, or slung
over their arms, picking up pieces of wood
that have been left behind by the tide, OF
bits of. coal that have fallen from the nu.
merous coal barges that come up laden
from the pool, where the coal vessels are
moored, to discharge their cargoes at the
wharves further TO the west. These
mud-larks," as they are sometimes call
ed, bear generally bad character; being
accused of no, con,enting themselves will
the prizes they find on shore. but of rob
bing the coal barges or other vessels. or
board Of which they can creep at night
fall without detection. However this may
be, their functions do no, end with tn,
shore, but in the sewer. With torch il
hand to preserve them from the attacks o
