to 1t, and wait patiently until the Good Being
shall send us a freshet to scoop Us out chan

to be entertained for single moment, or sub.
mitted to even by community of monkeys:
and what, We would ask, is to become of the
enormous amount Of mud which is to he scoop
ed out in the formation of the proposed chan
mel? 1t must be deposited somewhere, and
that place would be in the first eddy it met
with, after being distur bed, which would be
the mouth of the Anacostia river We ap-
peal to Congress, and to the President, to know
if they will lend their sanction to, and expend
the Governments money in xe,uting project
which must necessarily, destroy entirely, and
forever, the channel leading to the Washing
ton Navy Yard, and thereby rende. the Navy
Yard itself, which has cost the Government,
we presume, several millions Of dollars, wholly
useless, and to the people of that portion OF
Washington, known as the Navy Yard, we ap-
peal to know if they can lend their sanction to
a project which aims death blow (Which we
think We have clearly shown) at the very
vitals Of their best interests. And, in conclu-
sion, we would ask, il there any power known
to the Constitution Of the United States which
can grant the right to place any such obstruc.
