I says:
The river continues falling. though not
very fast. with seven feet four inches water
in the canal last evening by the mark.
During the previous fOrtyselght hours 1t
had fallen six inches at the head of the
falls. and eighteen inches at Portland.
The weather continues very warm, with a
light shower Saturday, but no rain yester-
day, and the thermometer at So at noon.
On the falls there were five feet four
inches water in the pass last evening down
the Indian chute and falling.
The river trade is dull, with but very
light shipments to any point. The NJ. s.
Mepharn departed to New Orleans Satur-
day, with but very little freight, and the
Indiana and st. Charles laid over until
this week.

new boat of Capt. Sam. Montgomery was
successfully launched from the ship-yard

so easily along the ways that her Roadway
carried her across the river to the Tow

New Albany, where she is to be completed.

The late Legislature did q great many
things which we do not approve; but 1t also
did some good things. One Of these was the
passage Of Mr.. Keady's bill for the regulation
oe tenement houses, than which no measure
was ever more urgently called for. II will
save thousands Of lives which were annually
sacrificed to the meanness and avarice OF land
lords, and win promote the comfort and well
being Of the working classes generally. II IL
10 be regretted that another measure also
having the public safety and comfort in view
the bill for the protection Of life in theatres
was brought forward too late in the session TO
secure its passage. From the feeling mani
tested in regard TO IL in both houses, however,
there is every reason to believe that IL will re-
ceive the early and favorable consideration oi
tho next Legislature. There are many other
local reforms that might have been effected
during the session; but In the beneficial char
acter Of the Tenement House bill, and In the
small amount Of mischief that corrupt legisla-
ton was able to work, we have almost as
much reason to be thankful for what We have
got as for what we have escaped. Let us hope
that the first Legislature elected under the re-
vised constitution will make us forget not only
the sins Of omission but of commission Of thai
which has lust expired.

Chile and Peru.

While Chile and Peru are cooperating In an
alliance for hostile purposes against their COM
mon enemy, Spain, there are many indica-
tions--which we are sorry TO observe-that
there is not cordial fraternity existing be-
tween them Rivalries and jealousies, which
may ere long lead to positive animosity, are
showing themselves in 30 many various ways
as to lead to an apprehension that should the
war with Spain terminate, the peaceful con-
dition OF the South American republics would
not be absolutely ensured by the result There
has always been tendency to internal strife
among these nations There have been con-
ficting interests at work where one would sup
pose that unity in behalf ofa republican form
Of government ought to exist, and concessions
should be readily granted with view to per-
manent harmony. There appears to be an un-
friendly spirit between the peoples Of Chile
and Peru, notwithstanding the friendly rela-
tions Of the two governments, and that cor
diality which ought to exist between the ON
GERS of the allied navy is said to be wanting.
This is unfortunate. Report says that the
Chilean government Is about contracting in
New York for Monitor, after the style Of the
Monadnock, at cost Of over million and .
quarter dollars, with four fifteen inch guns and
munitions complete. Such vessel, to be used
against Spain or any other foreign Power,
would be an important acquisition to the navy
Of the allied republics but in the event Of
peace soon succeeding the present conflict the
possession of so formidable ship by Chile
might create some jealousy in the minds of the
Peruvians, and probably lead to dissensions
which would imperil the peace and permanent
prosperity of both countries.
II is manifestly the duty Of all these repub.
lies of South America to perpetuate their insti-
tutions, and that can only be done by preserv.
ing harmony among themselves Our Minis
ters, who have little else to occupy them in
these countries just now, would be doing good
service, not only to republicanism In South
America, but to the commercial interests and
| the prestige Of the United States, by cultivat.
| ing, with all their good Offices, friendly feel
ing between these nations.

Governor Jenkins advises his people 70 ex-
pect support from the judicial department,
whose DEGREES cannot be overriden by Con-
gress. Modern laws. fortunately, are not like
those Of the Medes and Persians. Ours. espe-
cially are the expression of the popular pur-
pose s.nd grow with oar growth. is the Office
of the Supreme Court to interpret the laws that
the eople have made, to decide in. disputed
cases what was the true intent of the law-mak-
ing Ipower-the people. But the appeal to the
peoT lie is higher than that to the interpreter of
their Intentions and if the Supreme Court
shal decide that the laws already in existence
must be construed as Jenkins claims, then Con-
gross will merely make the case clearer by
pa ssing laws SO distinctly expressing the popu-
la will on reconstruction that misunderstand-
lag will be impossible. Thus the course of
Governor Jenkins is mere folly; and the South,
in despising his teachings, shows practical
wisdom full of promise for the early re-estab-
lishment Of law and order ever the whole

There will be large flow Of emigration to
this city during the coming summer. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that from the wretched
condition of things existing in Ireland, the
disturbed state of the country districts and the
complete decay of trade in the cities, con-
siderable portion Of the emigrants will come
from that country. A late cable despatch
says that they are taking ship by thou
sands, and thousands are detained for want Of
accommodation. The labor and industry Of
this class Of people are most desirable. When
they do not bring money they bring energy
and ambition to get along but II is necessary
that some provision should be made to put the
vast thousands who will be poured in upon
us to immediate employment, and not compel
them to settle down in the crowded tenements
Of the city in midsummer. Both policy and
charity suggest the propriety Of sending them
out on the rich lands Of the West as soon as pos
sible; but this must be done under some reg
ular and humane system. The future destiny
Of the emigrant should not be LETT to chance.
The machinery at command now to accomplish
this purpose does mot seem to be sufhcient
What appears to be wanted ID avolunteer emi-
grant society which could furnish itself with
information as to good locations for labor, soil,
climate, price Of land, character Of crops, and
30 forth, in the Western and Southern States,
and also with fund to assist the most needy
in reaching suitable places in the country.
Such society, We cannot but think, could do
vast deal Of good, acting, perhaps, In CO.
operation with the officials Of Castle Garden,
or even acting independently. There are
plenty Of benevolent and influential gentle
men In the city who, We presume, would be
willing TO undertake such charitable enter
prise. What the smigrant most needs upon
bis landing is direction and advice - to the
proper application Of his means and his labor
capital. Withsst this M IL likely to settle

Gold Gambling In Wall Street.

Gold has fuctuated in price during the Ia ct
week from l34 to 1895, showing what the
spectators call feverish state Of the mar
Ret The news from Europe, and not any
domestic trouble, has been the cause, or rather
the gold brokers and operators seized the
opportunity afforded by the difficulties be-
tween Prussia and France regarding Luxem-
burg for creating an excitement in order that
they might gamble in gold. II even there
should be war In Europe, that would be no
good reason for any great change in the value
Of gold or stocks here. We should not be
mixed up in such . war and should pursue
the even tenor Of our way just the same. Al
first there might be little disturbance in the
stock and money market, through some Of our
securities being sent home; but this would be
slight and only temporary. In the end we
should probably be benefited by food OF
emigration and money to this country. But
there does not appear to be any ground
now for fluctuations on the war idea. The
latest news is more pacific. With regard to
these ups and downs in stocks and gold, the
truth is they are the result Of gambling, and
are not produced by natural causes. Every
event or circumstance, however triaing, IS
caught up and exaggerated for the purpose Of
sending up or down the market price, and
very often the most barefaced bogus news is
invented and circulated for the same purpose.
People should not be disturbed, therefore, by
these fluctuations in Wall street, and should
not, unless they are in the ring, touch stocks
or gold at such time.
