c. CHASE ON CIVIL RIGHTS.

One who styles himself our political opponent, after
promising that ChefJustice Chase presided at late
religious meeting in our City and there expressed his
qualification at the passage of the Civil Rights bill,
and his hope that the Blacks would be eniranehised,
asks us
is ii not In your view almost disgracefu for the
CheJusce Of the Supreme Court Of the United States
this time thus publicly the stump so to speak to express
his of law the question Of the consttutionay Of
which must If 1t is raised undoubtedly will boz
come before him hereafter for judicial aconr
Ansper-No.
We have said all we wish to say on the subject;
but correspondent may deem it desirable that We
give reasons; so we add:
Nobody, We presume, supposes that Chief-Justice
Chase entertain any doubt of the general consttu
tonality of the Civil Rights bill. Nobody will
adjudcate that question with any belief or hope that
he chershes any such doubt. The only question
likely to be raised concerns the validity of certain
stringent penal provision Of the act and this, We
venture to assure our correspondent, Mr.. Chase will
consider calmly and adudge as mpartially as any
other man on the bench. Then where is the impro-

sHORTENING RIVERS.

The Mississippi, during the high water now pre-
vailing is reported to have broken through Terrapn
Bend, near Vicksburg which Gen. Williams wasted
much labor in attempting to cut through, without
success. Gen. Grant atterward made still more
earnest effort which was also failure And now the
Mississippi has shown herself superior to them both
This cut shortens the river fifteen miles, and will
leave Eagle Bend lake fourteen miles long.
The James is taking advantage of Gen. Buffers
dutch Gap Canal" below Richmond, and so en-
larging and completing it that small craft now pass
through it at high stages of water saving several miles
by cross-cut of less than one. Ten years hence,
when Richmond has 100000 inhabitants, this will
doubtless be the main channel, though it may cost
something more to make it so. 50 the work Of i'm
provement goes on.

II is utterly impossible for man in New.York IN
shake hands with man in Texas; but memorable dis
lance alone prevents us from offering TO graspthe der.
ter Of Mr.. John Ii. Reagan. Knowing simply the fact
that he was the Rebel Postmaster General the critic
of character would not be likely to pronounce Mr..
Reagan particularly smart or sensible; but when We
state that he is now raising corn and cotton, and
sweet-potatoes, on his farm near Palestine, Teyas

Old Testament. Without knowing his exact age, we
pronounce him, morally at least, venerable trump.
and as good an Isaac or Jacob can be expected in
Texas. We commend him as an excellent example
to the patriarchs who are merely disposed to curse
God and die of whisky and water; who are hanging
around the Washington bar-r0oms, thichy enunci-
ang their praises of the President; who are CALAMITY
engaged in soaring schoo-marms and burning school
houses; who are trying to exist upon Presidential
vetoes which are good neither for the body nor for the
soul; who expect to be saved from starvation by act
of Congress; who cease not to lament the loss OF the
touching patrarchal privilege Of selling their own
children at public vendue: who wonder where on
earth they are in future to find even toerable sup
ply of bondmen and bondwomen, without which
patriarch is a mere nobody; who see before them no
escape from the dire and dreadful doom OF wording
for living which in their opinion the most ezquis

Let them contemplate Reagan'S corn and potatoes,
