WEDNESDAY MARCH 8. 1863.
THE CANAL-lHR RIyRR

IRE NANAkf-&k1x yfkVEAs.
The action Of the last Legislature, though
in thc matter Of the horse railways Infamous
beyond any acts Of its predecessors, was not
purely bad. scmc things they did which arc
worthy Of all praisc, and while they inflicted
an objectionable wrong upon our
dty, they passed Two laws which
will prove q lasting benefit to our people.
We refer spcciall5 to the amendments Of the
charter and the law, published In another
column, making provision for the deep.nfne
Of the summit Of the Illinois and Michigan
Canal, thus for all time cleansing the Chicago
River, and cAectually remoYfns all the evils
and dangers to the health and prospcdty of
the city from That source.
In brief, tie bills provide that Col. z, 3,
Mason and VIM. Gooding, Esq, two OF our
most eminent engineers, be added to the
Board OF Public Works. The city is author
lied 10 issue bonds to the amount Of two
millions Of dollars, the same to be second
! 1icn upon the canal, to be expended by
The Board Of Public Works in lowering its
summit 50 ns to tuln the water Of The lake
down the Illinois river. The Trustees Of
the canal arc authorized to make such
arrangements with the Board Of Public
Works as shall promote the deepening Of the
canal, the business Of which is not to be i'm
1cdcd more than SIX months in the year.
by the report Of the Committee of Engineers
TO The Common Council, published yester-.
day morning, the two MILLIONS is nearly s1fli-
cicDt to complete the work, ani should the
prices Of labor and prodace fall, as they sn.e-
1y viii after The war closes, the sum allowed
to be rniscd will be ample.
ZIG city and the State are alike interested
in the success Of the project-thc city, that
tie river nuisance may he removed, and the
Stale, that the canal may be fed fom the
lake, for we learn that the citizens Of 1ndi-
ana are about to dig ditch from above the
Calumet dam to drain directly into the
Jake. No one can blame them for adopting
that course, fer the dam is very great il.
jury to several counties iu that State.
We learn that the Board Of Public Works
are preparing TO act vigorously with refer
csscc to The important work committed
TO their chargc. Our citizens gen.
cral]y will sus.alu them in carrying out
the powers granted to thcm by the Legis1a-
lure, with all the energy and rapldity con.
f'stcnt with due regard to economy. Let
the river nuisance be removed at the earliest
possible moment. So far as our city is
concerned, no Legislation for the last
dozen yca,s Is likely to be so
largely beneficial, both to its health
and commercial prosperity, rs that now unde.
consideration. 1t will insure the enlarge.
1nent Of the Ca,al aud the Improvement of
tie Illinois River ut m cally day, so as to
pass steamers from Lake Michigan to all the
11lbutcries Of The Mississippi It may there
fore be regarded as the FIRST step towards that

Prices were fully sustained aud the market c.osed

Weinf1ected this afternoon lot OF about 80 head
Ct cattle at Shetmans yarls, and they were BY all
odds the most vcritab1e scallawars 1t was ever
cur fortune to see. There were SUPER
anrated bulls, ancient oxen who hal served
years enough In tho Wisconsin lumber regions
to hsye entitled them to an honorable
discharge, cows that might have come oyer in th-
Ma.oHcr and stays thn thkt 1t would tase t.o Of
t.sm to make shadow, while collector for an aaa1o-
mcnl museum could have found every disease that cat
tie flesh Is h=ir to, Several Of them have
died willis In the Tard1. and many others ars too
weak stand.
These cattle, which even Kinzle street would "a

nosc at, It 4rrported. are to ba transported thousand
miles. aud then Eeryrd up to whom Why our brave
Western to5s IN blue and this too, while Thousands OF
the lest cattle received at this marxst are being

It's burning shame and al ould attended TO b.

Ibis appropriation, the jacksonville Journal
says: !
- It will BE- remembered that an effort to
secure such an appropriation was made by DR..
G1llett, Principal Of the Deaf and Damb In
stitutio:, and We arc glad to learn that his
generous efforts were crowned with success.
The new institution is TO be under the sap:s-
vision Of the Trustees Of the Deaf and Dunno,
and under the immediate control aud man.
agcnent Of Doctors Gillett and Mcfarland.
This Is unquestfonably most happy Sc
lection, and Indicates success In this most im-
Tortant enterprise. Than Dr.. Gillctt, no bet
Ter, mo1e earnest. energetic and competent
gentleman could have been selected, while it
is but justice to him rs the originator and un-
firing friend Of the ncw Institution. Aided
by the vnst experience, learning and fidelity
OF DR.. Mcfarland, VIC expect TO see such re-
suits as will astonish those who have not
thoroughly informed themselves upon this
