We are indebted to Mr.. ]. w. Fairfax secre-
tary of the Mississippi Valley Navigation
Company Of the South and West, for a neat
pamphlet containing the charter, statutes,
bylaws and recommendations of this organi-
cation. A very interesting part of the con-
tents is that which relates to the building of
steamboats, on the plan CT Capt D. De Haven,
adopted by the company, in view of their va
rious advantages Of swiftness, economy and
safety to life and property, as attested by
practical and scientific steamboat men and
Others. 1t is proposed by this plan to run
boats of S65 feet in length at 25 miles per
hour-a result that would signify almost a
revolution in the Mississippi carrying trade.

ST.. LOUIS AND NEW ORLEANs-An able
and instructive commercial esFay by Prof.
Warehouse, read last year before the river
improvement convention in st. Louis, comes
to us with the encouraging statement that
efforts for direct importations by way of New
Orleans. We also learn that large shipment
of grain has just started from st. Louis for
New York via New Orleans. This is the right
sort of commentary on the arguments and
calculations of Prof Warehouse showing the
advantage of making the Mississippi the
channel of Western imports as well as
exports.

Mr.. Evarts, in his speech before the Senate,
said that the managers, fearing the case
would be put out of court, were trying to put
the court out of the case. The Tribune
sneers at this as a mere puma glitter
ing bon-mOt, which ought not to have been
introduced in so serious place as the High
Court of Impeachment. But it is more than
a piece Of humor-it is a striking pointed
truth-no less true because it is witty and
no less witty because it is true. Another
point made by Mr.. Evarts is, that while the
Senate were trying the President for appoint
ing a secretary of war ad interim, they were
attempting to make president dd interim. If
one is a crime the other is much greater
crime, just as the presidency is more i'm
portant Office than a secretaryship.

prevent persons who know anything about
this old and respected merchant of our city,
even if by reputation only, from confounding
him with the Todd who was candidate for

Todd and his friends are, however, excusable
for being alarmed at Che bare possibility Of SO

County Convention.


The attention Of every Republican
voter Of Delaware county is directed to
the call Of the State Central Committee
for a State Convention, to be held at
Columbus on Wednesday, March 4th,
for the purpose Of nominating a ticket
for the coming campaign, and also to
that Of the County Central COMMITTEES
for a Mass Convention at Delaware on
Saturday, February 22d, to appoint
delegates to represent Delaware coun-
ty. The delegates viii be chosen with
view TO the selection of delegates from
this Congressional District to the Ma
tiona1 Convention at Chicago, at which
will be chosen our candidates for the
Presidential contest. The glorious re-
suit achieved In the late election in this
District, which clearly demonstrated
that the tide Of defeat TO the cause Of
the Union has been successfully check
ed, has reassured its friends and filled
them with the utmost confidence that
in the great national struggle next fall
victory Will again crown their efforts
for the perpetuatiOn Of the peace and
prosperity Of our beloved country. Let
the Convention on the I'D be q full one
and such a delegation chosen as shall be
satisfactory to the entire party, for it is
necessary in order to gain the great end
for which we are to strive, that we enter
the fight with perfect unanimity.

kr. HamiltOn's Death in the House.

The death of the late Cornelius
Hamilton, of the Eighth CoDgressiOn-
al District Of Ohio, was announced in
the House by his colleague, Hon.
VIM. Lawrence, who pronounced an
e1logy, and offered appropriate reso-
lutions.
EulOgies we're also made by Messrs.

ResoIUed, That in the death Of Hon.

attainments and patriotism Of the de-
ceased, and to idicate their regret and
sorrow for his lamented death, the

NotInvited.

! The Ohio Senate consumed considera-
I bic portion of two days in discussing
the prOpriety of inviting General Sher-
man and General Thomas, while in
/ Ohio, to visit Columbus, have finally
concluded that the proposed invitation
ton offered by General Keifer, extern
ding the invitation, was adopted, recon-
sid8red, referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported upon in three seperate
reports, discussed, amended, and final
" rejected altogether. The Democratic
Senators found many serious, and in
their judgment, fatal objections to the
language of these resolutions. The
word 'lOyal" seemed particularly Of
fsnsiVe, doubtless because the thing
signIfied was Objectionable. One MEM
Der disliked to hear Sherman and
Thomas referred to as "mOst distin-
guished officers" perhaps because he
had Mcclellan, Buell. and Fitz John
Porter in his mind. Another Senator OBJ
jected TO the enormous expense that
would be incurred In sending a COM
mittee to Cincinnati.
The truth is, the dOve-like Democracy
don't like to have these WRr-like heroes
about. Their breath has a corrosive ef-
feet upon every species Of copper. Their
very presence exciteB the good and the
true to emulate their virtues. Their
coming FelGiudleB the fires of patriot
ism and arouses the old love and devo-
ton to the flag and the Union. There
Is something in the atmosphere that
surrounds q true soldier that is un-
healthy to the Democratic system. In
the presence Of great soldier even the
Democratic masses become demoralized
and have been known 20 shout for the
defenders OF the Union. Keep these
great Generals at a safe distance, gem

When the Legal Tender act was
| passed its promoters did not imagine
that they were rendering special con-
| tracts for coin illegal. But the courts,
/ in giving full force to the apparent
meaning of the act, and IN their zeal
| to prevent eVasions of it, have given It
this construction aud all such agree
| ments are now outside Of the law
| The consequence is formidable. New
er was so much capital crowded into
l the financial centres of the old world,
/ ClamorOus for Investment, as to-day
| but as 1t demands, first of all, safety
and the protection of the law, it will
/ not come to a country where it cannot
/ be recovered In kind. Little of it is
coming here that little creeps in tim
idly and grudglngly and lies here in a
nervous, hafe-like sleep, with an eye
/ open, watching for a chance to be
| panic-stricken.
There is much timid capital at home,
too, which fears our hUctuating cur
renoy, and is half inclined to go
abroad for safety. In view of the
possible changes In value of all debts
and credits, so long as they hang upon
Irredeemable paper, men are afraid to
make long engagements, even upon
real property; and securities which
once were Of the first class are now
regarded as inferior and neglected,
whilst call loans on worthless 'fancies'
are eagerly sought for at half the rate
of interest refused for bonds aud
mortgages. Moreover, the necessities
Of trade require hundreds of our citi-
Eens to make and accept engagements
every day which no court will enforce.
importers may be compelled to accept
treasury notes for goods sold BY them
at gold value, and paid for By them
In gold.
In letter printed elsewhere, one of
our prominent bankers ably vindicatea,
as a first step towards specie payments,
a modification Of the Legal. Tender
act, which shall restore its original in
tentiou, by providing that ''henceforth !
all transactions by agreement made in |
coin may be legally enforced in coin or
Its equivalent" We trust that this |
proposition will receive immediate at !
tention in Congress. There ought to /
be no struggle about il, as it can ex-
cite no party feeling, nor conflict with /
She convictions or interests of any |
large body Of men, 1t is a simple and |
obvious measure, the results Of which
must be good, and may be very impor-
tant.
Many Of these results are indicated

Travel by rail seems to be terribly
hazardous just at this time. Scarcely a
day passes without bringing with it its
railroad accident. The unusually Sc
we're weather has, of course, much to do
with this state of affairs and to its ae-
ton upon the iron Of the tracks and
machinery most of the disasters may be
traced. The past ten days has been ex-
tremely prolific Of such occurrences
On the morning of Tuesday week the
night Express train on the Atlantic &
Great Western Railway was thrown
from the track and the cars, which took
fire from the stoves and lamps were de-
strOyed. A few limbs were broken, but
no lives were lost by this accident which
was caused by a rail being removed
from the track by some unhuug scoun-
drel, whose probable object was to plum
der the wreck and rob the dead and
dying. Friday night a train was
thrown from the track by broken rail
and down an embankment on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad. Two
passenger cars and a sleeping car were
burned. A Mrs. Dugan was killed and
her body burned in the wreck, while
number Of others were injured. The
same day train on the Milwaukee &
st. Paul road was thrown from tie
track bya broken rail, and down an ena-
bsnkment of twenty feet where tho
cars landed bottom up. The ladies car
took IRE but was extinguiahed after
several persons were more or less burn
