OPESING FOURTH STREET. THE ropewalk
little north Of Grand street, aud running parallel
with it, stands in the way Of opening this street
running directly across it. A village map was
FLED in 1897, giving the streets opened and their
grades, and notifying owners on the line of the
streets not to build upon them. The question is
whether the ropewalk across Fourth.street was
built before Or after 1927. The Commissioners,
on taking testimony, decided that it was built
after 1877, and the owners are bound to remove
that part which lies on Fourthstreet Judge
johnson, however to whom the case was appeal
ed thinks the Commissioners were wrong, and
that the Trustees lin behalf Of the owners on the
street, to be included Of course in the assessment
must pay the owners for damage in taking part
OF the roPewalk for cutting i. up, and for damage
to machinery. Il was also stated by the Judge,
in his opinion, that Municipal Corporation has
power to alter grade, although that grade may
have formerly been officially established.

HAVANA, Tuesday, Jan. q.
Mcssys Grceley y EeErah:
Every day gives some new evidence OF the
industry and talents Of Gen Concha a military
Statesman, a combination of character essen
TALLY necessary for the successful administration
of this Government The improvements that
will reach every branch of our domestic industry,
are forced onward by the energy of the man
against the latent opposition to Innovation, reused
by the least touch upon the accustomed habits Of
labor. The new sugar purger can hardly be be-
leved in, and even when seen, suspicion of trick
causes hesitation TO take advantage OF the infor-
matcn conveyed by their own senses However,
the patentee for Cuba, citizen OF New York,
will have more orders than he can possibly exc
cute previous to another CROP while all those he
may have on hand, will aid in clearing the pre-
sent.
The public highways are being improved so
that the fruits of the husbandman may with more
facility reach the markets of the coast and social
communication be advanced. The laws are en-
forced, while the subordinate executive officials
of all grades are held to strict accountability for
their trusts and notwithstanding the defamation
ofthe organ ofthe Marine Department, the stranger
is protected and the question is not asked for the
purpose ofrestrictive privilege whether the parties
are American, English or French.
Yesterday the WORKS Oh tue MOro anu OhpEuHs
were visited by large party of Amercans-ladles
and gentlemen-under permission OF the Captain
General, granted with much courtesy and an ex-
preston OF the desire to promote the enjoyment
of visitors by all the means that lay within his
power, when the parties were respectable and con-
formed to the laws of the land. Jenny Lind was to
have visited the Ma Factory Of Messrs Lawton
Tolme yesterday, to view the working OF the
machines Of Yankee invention for cleaning sugar;
but as the waters Of the Bay were rough she
stopped on board of the beautiful packet Isabel,
Capt. Rollins, who put his boat and bis attentions
ut her service until the return Of her party, con-
sisting Of Bsrnum Rowland, Aspnwall, and
others, making strong representation OF the en-
terprise end wealth of the City Of New York.
Last night the most brilliant ftte OF the season
came of at the Condo Penslvas, leader of Habe-
nerenton. given in honor of Miss Lind. These
things are got up here very little better than
anywhere else. The brilliancy and display
passed anything of previous years, even Of the
magnificent Condis and the supper, under the
supervision Of the Prince of Cooks, Don Bernardo,
was an affair recherche The halls were filled
with the elite of society, and none Of rank and
fashion were missing.
The New.York news-boy turns up here with
every steamer, bat he is not allowed 10 vend bis
shore it is, however, an indication OF
the onward social principle, and we must ABIDE
the issue. q U. o.

DEMocRAcY.-The following is Judge
Roads idea OF Democracy, expressed many
years ago:
democracy presents itself for approval
upon the sole ground of truth and reason.
IL speaks the honesty and intelligence of
mankind. IL has 10 argument for the under
standing hut the native truth and grandeur
OF It's own principIes-and no appeal to the
affections except it's spotess morality and
elevated purity of purpose. 1t is the pcriec-
ton Of reason, and may be sptly described
TO be-bumnn action excited by goodness
Of motive, and guided and directed by truth
OF principle. Like the Christian Religion
leaving the gorgeous trrppings of splendid
ceremony, stupid pornp TO conceal error
or dignity folly, it shines forth in the simple
light Of truth, to Wit and bless the human
family. 'DO unto others as you would have
them de unto you,' carried as rule of actor,
into all social and political organizations
forming the base of government as well as
the spirit OF laws, constitutes. Democracy
Observed at all tinIes and carried into com.

The GATHERING TOGETHER OF THE
SAINTS. We perceive by the following,
that the leaders of the Mortnons are making
a strong and united effort to concentrate
their forces in tbs Salt Lake Valley. The
Guardian exhoris It's readers as follows:
The daystar glImmers, from yonder dis
tant vallics of Ephralm 10 illuno the path
Of the righteous, in the line of their duty;
aud like the Polar Star, it is fixed, SO that
the mariner through times ,empestuous bill
lows, may easily acquire a knowledge OF
his latitude and Iongitude; if he possesses
the requisite qualifications, in connection
with his chart, quadrant, and compass
The time has come, that all those who
have an outfit, or means to procure Que,
should leave for The valley of the Great
Salt Lake, next spring; others who have
means, and properly more than is actually
necessary, should heip The poor cut; not TO
Evansville, aud there leave them, bui to the
place appointed, as the hiding PLACE from
the storm, aud covert from the TEMPEST
abroad in the world. II is expedient thai
the Saints scattered throughout the States
and Canada, should use their utmost en-
dcavors, by every lan,lable way, to remove
as speedily as possible to tho far West, in
compliance with the spirit, and tenor Of the
last General Epistls Of the Prosidcoc,

ANOTHER STArE.-It appears from The
following in the Addison (Mich.) Expositor
of the Goth uit.. that the people of the up
per Peninsula are demanding a separate
government: .a
"North .Nichigaa-A Neso State.-Since
our visit to the Upper Peninsula, we are
convinced that there is not "a little reason in
the idea Of the organization of the Lake Su.
perior country into State by itself. In the
first place, there is no geographical connec-
ton between the two ennsulas-separated
not only by water, bar inthe winter by hun
dreds of miles of dreary wilderness, they
have no communication with US except by
travelling on snow-,hOes through the track
less forest, hundreds of miles, and her Rep
resentatIves must come some three months
before the opening OF the session, or stay at
home. Again, they have not one single
feeling in common with us "below;" they
are mostly from other States, and care not
halt rs much for a connection with US, as
they would to he connected with Pennsyl-
vaDia--they feel that we care as little for
them, aud under these circumstances we are
inclined 10 think, il it can lie done, they
must eventually become State by them
selves. They have within themselves ov-
cry thing requisite for an important State.
Her mineral wealth is but just beginning to
deveiope itself--her fisheries are in their in
fancy, ard her agricultural advantages have
been vastly underrated- these, with her
commercial advantages, will make, in time,
an important State of North Michigan -
" ha, they now most want is a ship canal
across the portage at ST. Mary's.
This, Congress ought to attend to at the
next season. and we trust they will, and
when a Wing Administration shall have Sc
cured the canal, we trust our good frienfs
"above" will remember the thing in the alb
stract, under the head of Internal Improve
ments, does and ever has met the decided
and determined hostility of the Democratic
party. lfyou wish a canal around the falls,
cease TO oppose your friends, the Wings,
who are in favor Of such improvements.
bot any way, success to the future North
Michigan. - ~ (' HH
