TEE LAKE, MICHIGAN CANAL.--It Is, we sup.
pose, generally known that the House Of Repre-
ssntatives have passed bill for the enlargement
OF tae canai from Chicago to La Sale, and the
Improvement Of the Illinois river. It is proba.
ble that will not pass the Senate the present
session Of Congress. At its late session the
Eswe Legislature appropriated $1,000 to aid in
survey Of = direct route from La Sale to the
Ntasisappi river. but nothing has been done in
the matter. Now that there is some danger that
as bill for improving the Illinois river may be-
come = law, the Davenport Gazette is again
urging survey in accordance with the resolu-
ton Of our legislature. We hope this will be
done. A direct canal to La Sale would be Of
incalculable benefit to the whole State of Iowa,
while the route via the mouth Of the Illinois
river would be Of NO benefit whatever. Any one
who will look upon map, and commencing,
say, ct the northcast corner Of this State, trace
the Mississippi to the mouth Of the Illinois and
thSu follow IL up to La Sale, will see that it i.
long ways around.
built say from Davenport or some point zeal
there to La Sale, that would certainly give us I
direct route to Chicago, and would be last
ing henc6t to the whole State. The Davenpor
Gaseste has prepared a table from which w
learn that the distance from Davenport to Chi
s.go via the Illinois river is CSC miles, while

Having received q number Of county returns
ia Michigan and some olher States, which were
not sent IN in time FOR The canvass FOR Electors IN
December, we haze made the necessary GORGE
tons in our TRIgUsE ALMANAC, AMI it may
now be considered asnearly exact as careful re-
vision can make it. The result Of the --latest
corrections are an increase Of the Aggregate
vote for President, with Of couree a correspond
ing increase for Lincoln and Mcclellan. The
difficulties in the way Of arriving at complete re-
suits have been chiefly in regard to the Soldiers
Vote. Within the past year laws have been
enacted in several States allowing soldiers TO
vote in their camps. 1t was new business;
the laws were often complicated ard obscure,
and the result has been very general botching
OF the matter. Probably the Ohio and Iowa
laws work beSt--at least greater proportion Of
votes are returned, and, seemingly, pretty fall
poll is had. In every Eastern State Except
Massachusetts, whose soldiers do not
vote there were delays and inaccuracies
to such an extent that not one-lcurth OF
the men entitled to suffrage had their
ballots counted. We all know how in New
York tie practical effect Of tho law was TO
prevent and discourage the voter, and how
thousands Of ballots were lost for want Of clear
ness in direction or from non-receirt in time
New-Jersey, being a good Democratic State
dsfranchiSes her soldiers. In Pennsylvania
the business worked pretty well, but much was
lost to the Union cause 1.-TWO or three Members
of Congress, certainly by iTegularity and delay.
We believe the soldiers Of Delaware do not
vote away from home. in Maryland, the Con-
sttutonal election had paved the way, and in
November the vote Except Of Rebel sympathizers
who refused to exercise tho right was smoothly
taken. West Virginia was much disturbed By
the war, and the votes Of q number of counties
were not taken, or at least not returned.
Kentucky polled fair vote, and it was prompt
ly returned, only few counties being omitted.
Missouri shows several blank counties in the
Western portion Of the State, where, in conse-
uuence of guerrilla interference, it wasimpossible
to open the polls. Wisconsin and Iowa re.
turned pretty fully, but not until after the first
canvass. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan
are now full, except five or six regiments in the
after State, and perhaps q few Ohio soldiers too
closely employed TO attend to voting. Min.
lesota has been greatly deranged by Indian
vars and the vote of the State is much lighter
han IL would have been in time Of peace at
