During the last session, Of Cor

EF During the last session Of Con.
gress, an appropriation Of an hundred
thousand dollars, to expended in re-
moving the raft In Red River, which
has 20 ing been a serious obstruction
to the navigation Of that river.
The money thus appropriated, was
| placed Under the control Of the war
department, but why Il was given to
direction Of that officer, we are unable
to say; but as yet no progress has
been made in the removal Of the raft,
land from all We can learn the work
will remain in staue quo for some time
| to come.
The reason why the work has net
been commenced before this, IL the
singular and onerous terms with which,
contractors bidding for the work must
comply. before their bids will be con-
sidered by the department at Wash
ington.
They are required to give bonds In
the sum of 100000, secured by two
sureties, each Of whom must be worth
ten thousand dollars each, with other
requirements of a similar character,
and eaqually unreasonable; because
the work il tp be paid for, only as It
advances and IN proportion to the
whole work 10 be done.
This II all wrong, and calculated to
keep the obstruction where IL is, rather
than effect itslre movsl, because very
few men will undertake a job Of that
character, under the requirements Of
the department, and especially 10 give
bonds to complete the schole work
when IL il to be paid for only as 1t pro-
crosses. The Red river is a means
Of communication with an impor-
tant section ofour State and Texas
and forms an outlet fr vast and year.
ly increasing commerce. The raft
has for years, been serious obstacle
and now that an appropriation ofample
means to remove il has been made,
nothing should be thrown in the way
Of its speedy removal. There are
hundreds Of enterprising and industri.
Gus men, who would readily contract
to remove the raft, men too Of large |
means and who would accomplish the |
work speedily, and be satisfied to get |
their pay as they did the work; but
who would not, and could not get
s,troties for ten thousand dollars. mere.
y TO crafty the whim Of bis excellency
pf the war department. Besides the
nselessness Of the security required,
We cannot we'll see how the Govern
ment could loose a dollar BY letting
out the work, as other works Of sim
lar character are let out, Wis: to the
lowest bidder and paying for it ss it
advances. There are plenty Of our
,itisens who would be glad to take It
n that way and advance their own
means to carry itfoward II they only
nd the chance. Let the department
,ry il aud the raft will soon be re-
moved.
