Engineers on the Erie canal are
making a survey for the proposed ex-
tension of the locks. The surveys and
estimates are for locks 225 feet long be-
tween the gates, and wide enough to pass
boats 26 feet wide. It is supposed that
locks of these dimensions will enable
boats of 500 tons burden to navigate our
canals, and also pass iron clad gunboats
if required. The present locks are only
10 feet long between the gates, and II
feet 4 inches in the bottom.

Is IT so In reference to the defeat Of the

lowing statement in the Vermont Chronicle

Is il true, 1t seems to US that the dgni-
ty and honor Of the Senate. as well as the
purity Of elections, are put in question, saying
nothing Of the Railroad Companies named.
We see easily enough that Senators may be
influenced by wba, they conceive to be the

Robert Mallory OF Ky. slavery Union, 10
Henry Stebbi Of New York, Democrat
P, Blair j. Of Missouri. Rep Union,
John d. Styles Of Pennsylvania, Democrat,
Schuyler Colfax wai born IN New York
City and bred printer. Starting as editor
at South Bend, Indiana, he soon became one
of the leading politicians Of that State and
was sent to Congress, where he is now serv-
ing his fifth term. He is man of ire
proachable character, good talents, much tact,
and an ever-gushing fountain of good nature.
No man was so successful a. Colfax in man
aging the House in the turbulent and dan
gerous scenes which preceded the secession
of the rebels no man in the present Con-
gress so well deserves the honors OF the
Chair, and none can discharge the duties OF
the place more acceptably. His election is
equal to a great victory over the rebels, and
all patriotic men have abundant reason to re-
joice overi it. The organization of the House
and Of its Committees will now be made so as
to give the Government liberal support.
The Election of Clerk of The House
Is quite as indicative of health in the body
polite as was the election of Speaker. Mr..
Mcpherson received the same votes as Mr..
Colfax, l0l; while all the elements of oppo-
siton were united IS far as possible upon
Mr.. Etheredge, and carried only SO votes,
leaving MCPHERSON a majority OF 49, Prob
ably few Of the democrats could not forgive
Etheredge for his opposition to them OF old,
and withheld their votes. Edward McPher-
son, like Coliax, comes from the press, hay-
ing filed the editorial chair first at Lancas-
ter, Pa, and last at Gettysburgb, from which
he was transferred to Congress. Originally
Wing, and then Republican, and always a
politic.l associate Of Thad. Stevens, YER
monters will have no difficulty in appreciat-
ing MIR. Mcpherson. He is good personally,
as well as politically, and will be apt to
reckon drunkenness and dishonesty as vices
which do not commend men for his patron
age. Etheredge was made Clerk of the last
Congress out Of sympathy for his losses by
the rebellion, and in the indulgence of large
measure of political liberality. He did not
justify the well intended deed. and now tho
House fifty chooses truer man.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON coon
BEHAVIOR

The autumn elections have operated won.
derfully in purging of the bad humors Of tho
copPerheeds in mild cases, proving a spe.
cifc. This is indicated in various ways
and in none more distinctly than in tho vota
for Speaker Instead Of the promised ninety
votes, only about fifty we're cast for Demo-
Gratis and instead Of two majority, the Ad-
minstration candidate had twenty. Thus
the elections have produced the right effect
in the right place. The osustic touched tho
sore, and the severe cautery has been sue
cessful About twenty members Of Congress
evidently feel that they are put upon their
good behavior. We hope they will continue
to observe the prophecies Of their position,
and earn the good will Of good men by patti
otto service. But it is not in Congress alone
that good signs are discernibe In Connect.
icut, the leading Democratic newspaper has
just discovered that it is highly proper to
employ negroes in fighting the battles of the
country. Indeed, a proposition, which at
first appeared to us as plain as that two and
two make four, has at last penetrated the
skull Of this Hartford editor that is, that

ment. In Massachusetts, we find an intense
ly conservative paper coniessing that slavery
must go out Of existence with this war, and
leading Democrat lD&is) shouting
" Glory halelujah - o.er that prospect.
In the West the signs are equally propitous.
The late Convention Of War Democrats At
Cincinnati resolved that the war mus be
prosecuted to the utter suppression Of the
rebellion--that they would rejoice if slavery
would go out with the rebellion-and that i,
is expedent now to provide for the COLOMBIA
