our RIVER TnApE.-The re-opening

OUR RIVER TRADE.-The re-opening
of the river and the resumption of nav
igation will render appropriate, we
think, some remarks from us on the
above subject. 1tisu fact acknowledged
by all, that We possess to-day river
trade which Is the pride of the city.
This result has only been attained after
years of hard labor, and after the out
lay of a great deal OF money. We now
have several weekly Cincinnati pack
cts, and daily line OF packets between
here and Parkersburg. These boats,
and especially theIatter, while they ac-
commodate, in general terms. the trade
and travel between the two main
points, are the means Of communities
lion between the intermediate points
and the cities. In theietrade they bring
TO our wharVes much produce OF the
country below, and orders for the man
ufactures of our city. We cannot estl-
maze what n great benefit this trade IS
10 us, and cannot 1ully realize whatlt
Il worth unless we should lose it,
As it Is built up and ours now
II Is of course the part OF proYl7
dent men OF business to retain IL. To
do this It will be necessary for the BUSH
terested in the trade referred TO, who
wish to have kept up good line of dai-
ly or tri.weekIy packets, a regular
means of communication with the rich
producing and large-tradiDg country
below MS, TO work by all proper means
for the maintenance of our home boats.
These thoughts have been suggested
10 us by the Information that Pitts
burgh Is going to put in The trade a reg
ular tri-week1y line of packets between
that city and Parkersburg. II they
succeed in this attempt, much OF the
trade which Is rightly ours, which now
comes here, and which will remain here
NO long us We labor for it deservingly,
will go TO Pittsburgh.
In view of alt of the circumstances o.
the case; thinking OF how much we art
In danger OF losing, and what we car
keep II we labor properly, we ask ONT
and all of our bufiness men, tosuppor
our own trade.

ROBERT MINTURN.

Mr.. Robert Minturn the head of the house of
Grinnell, Minturn & Co., died of paralysis at
his residence in this city, about 2 o'clock yes
terday morning in the 61st year of his age.
There was hardly man among us better
known, certainly no one more beloved for his
private virtues, or more respected for his high
toned character, his unbending integrity,
his sound judgment, and his conscientious
discharge of every public aad private duty. His
motives were probably never impeached in any
act Of his life, aud it has fallen to the lot of few
men to WELD 80 wide an influence among his
fellows in purely private position. His wealth
and influence were due 10 his own exertions and
ability. Holding wealth as trust, to the poor
his hand was always open with liberality
which had become pfoverbial, while so modest
and unassuming were his efforts to seek out and
relieve cases Of obscure suffering that the amount
of good he did was rather guessed at than
known. Patriotism with him was q passion,
and so devoted was he to the cause of
the Union that, old as he was, and feeble in
health, he had serious thoughts of taking his
sword or his musket and serving in the field.
At the outset of the war he invested large
portion of his wealth in Government Sc
curities, and the Administration never
turned to the country for pecuniary
help that it had not the immediate aid of his
clear head, his generous hand and his wide
influence. No man more clearly spprehendod
the cause of the Rebellion, and no one rejoiced
with more heartfelt joy at the destruction OF
both. When to be opposed to Slavery was ia
hold an unpopular opinion, Mr.. Mintum never
shrank from its avOwal, and one of the
last acts Of his life was to give aid to
an association on behalf Of the Freedmen Al
home and abroad-Dlere he went reluctantly,
u year or two ago, for his health-his time his
means, and his efforts were devoted to supply.
ing the Government with men and money, ia
giving comfort to the soldiers in the field, to
ameliorating the condition of the blacks. and
fitting them for the freedom which the war was
about to best0w upon them. His last thought
and his last word were an anxious expression of
sympathy for the poor about Us, to whom the
sudden cold had brought unusual suffering.
Mr.. Minturn never held public Office unless
the Presidency of the Union League Club can
be called so. He was the first to fill that Office
and he did much for the organization of An
association in which he hoped to concentrates

We heartily trust that the new Airline Rail
road from this City to Washington is not started
to be sold out to the Monopoly, as they say the
Circular Road has been. But, whether it be or
be not, we are for the measure. There should
be one great Military and Postal Railroad on
this route-ultimately stretching from the st.
John to the Rio Grande though it must be con-
structed in sections as opportunity and means
shall prescribe. 1t should avoid all the great
cities-even this one-passing them inland but
throwing off branches to each. The Great Mail
should never stop to be drawn by horses-not
even for mile. As beginning toward what
must and should be, We extend a welcome to thu
projected Airline.

The House of Representatives yesterday re-
ceved a Message from the President, com
municatng the requested information in regard
to steps taken by France and by Macmillan to
obtain from the United States a recognition oi
the Imperial Government Of Mexico, and of the
action taken in this question by the Govern
ment of the United States. 1t appears from the
diplomatic correspondence laid before the
House that several attempts were made on the
part of the Government of Macmillan to enter
into direct, though not official, communication
with the Secretary of State at Washington. All
these attempts, it seems, were unsuccessful A
letter from Maximilian to the President was
not received, and the agent who brought 1T not
admitted to an interview with the President.
As regards France, the Secretary OF State, on
Nov. 6, in dispatch to Minister Biselow' ex'
presses the concern of the United States re-
specting the presence and the operations of the
French army in Mexico, and declares the al
tempt to establish permanently a foreign ana
imperial Government in Mexico disallowable
and impracticable. NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys, as
may be easily imagined, derived neither
pleasure nor satisfaction" from this DIS
patch when it was read to him by Mr.
Bigelow. The French Government intimated
hat they were inclined to withdraw their
roops. in case the Government OF the United
states was willing to recognize Maxmilian.
his condition was not accepted by our Gov
rnment, which asserted its wish to remain on
God terms with the Imperial Government of
rance, but also stated that the friendly rela-
ons between the two Governments would be
eriously jeoparded by the non-withdrawai Of
he French troops from Mexico.

GOV. CHASE-KETCHUM.

The present Chief-Justice of the United
States is honorcd by the active, implacabl'
hatred Of every one who hates Universe
Freedom. There is not an ex-negro-trader in
the land who does not regard him with personal
yindictiyeness, as one who has unwarrantably
interncddlcd with and spoiled the gaiDfu
traffic in human beings. There is not black
leg in all the South who does not instinctively
gnash his teeth at the mention of the name ol
Salmon T.. Chase. And, as the Chef-Justice
says and does nothing that can be used to preju.
dice him with good men, his enemies are abso-
solu,ely driven to calumny to countenance their
yituperation.
Some days since, The albany Argus, if we
mistake not started the falsehOod that the
Chief.Justce had written Gov. Fenton, or in
some manner interiercd, to solicit tho pardon OF
Edward Is. Kctchum. There was not shadow
of foundation for this-not even so much as the
existence of sympathy for Ketchum on the part
OF Gov. Chase-not even IA belief that the
operations of the house of Ketchum, Son & Co.
had, on the whole, been in any manner con-
ducive to the success of Gov. C.'s financial pol
icy. Yet The Uord eagerly catches at the
miserable. shameless lie, and talks of the inti-
mate relations between Gov. Chase, when Sec
retary Of the Treasury, and the Ketchums;
coolly opening rs follows:
"Some surprise has been excited In certain quarters
by the app arance ~ Chief Justice Chase oLe Of the
seners of petition for the pardon Edward Kechum.
" IL undoubtedly does not very well conpou with
the preccdcnis established by ChiefJustce Chase 8
predecessors with the general popular notion Of
what ChicsJusice should be. that the highest Judi
cia iunctionary In the land should make suppcaton

:" But the circumstances are peculiar Sc. &C.
We seldom notice this sort of gross asper-
sion OIL the noblest and purest Of our public
men. II is the penalty they pay for having
dared to lie in advance of their time. II is the
spirit of Wilkes Booth maniiesting itselfthrough
craitier, safer instrumentalities than those
which have made Ford's Theater so memorable.
But the poisoned arrows fall harmless at the
feet OF men like Salmon p. Chase.

Mr.. Sumner called the attention of the Senate
Yesterday to circumstance which will create
much astonishmcnt. 1t seems, from informa-
ton apparently trustworthy, that a system OF
kidnapping has been going on i'll the Southern
States, by which freedmen are taken from the
coast carried into Cuba, and sold into Slavery.
Gen. Sheridan had taken steps toward prevent
ing it, by issuing orders to his subordinates.
We can easily imagine how this neiarious prac'
tico might be carried on with impunity and
profit to the Rebels who indulge in it, and hence
the greater necessity for Government inter-
ference. If any citizen of the United States is
held in Slavery in Spanish colony or by SUBJ
jects Of Her Catholic Majesty, representatives
should be sent to Madrid or Havana.
