a writer in the Crescent, twsddlinp on
the true meaning of the word "people" in
Its political sense, defines it as "the ner-
sons who constitute the political commu-
nlty,' and in the sane sentence saws that
the blacks of this State form no part of
"the people" The definition Is good, but
the application is absurd. What the word
people" meant in the ancient republics of
Greece and Rome, or what classes it COM
prised in this portion of our own country
In ante-war times, does not now concern
us. 1t now comprises the blac as
well as the whites, and wi do
go, in all human probability, during the re-
mainder of our natural life. Congressional
legislation, or in other words the will of the
nation, expressed through the appointed
legal channel, has invested the negroes
with political rights; hence, thew
form portion of the "persons who eonsti-
tute the political community even accord.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The published reports of the examina-
ton of the case of William Blevins, charged
with the murder ofthe German policeman,
Gebhardt, affords another proof of the
evils resulting from violation of one of
our most well-known and important stat
utes. The custom of carrying concealed
weapons, unlawful in itself, has become a
dangerous evil in our community Men
are killed upon the slightest provocation.
and no mans life can be considered safe
who has occasion to traverse our streets.
Until the laws are rigidly enforced we can
not expect to have this state of things rem
edied. 1t was but last week that q yerv
estImable young lady was passing along
one OF our streets in the enjoyment of health
and happiness, and moi suspecting danger,
when she was suddenly shot down by
bullet discharged at another person, from
the effect of which she died in |
one OF our stationhouses, where she had
been conveyed before her friends could be
notified of what had happened her. Al
most every day we are called upon to
chronicle the death of some one who has
fallen victim to this damnable practice of
carrying concealed weapons. The sacred
tie of relationship does not seem to protect
life in our community so common has be-
come the practice of resorting to the pistol
or knife upon some trivial or perhaps
imaginary WrODo. and hut fau, dorz ,,., | !
a quiet, good man was killed by bullet
that one brother had deliberately shot at
another. Until the laws are enforced such
state of things will continue to grow, and l
while the press should PREJUDICE no mans |
case, it should demand that persons should
be punished who have wantonly assailed
life.

THE FOX AND WISCONSIN RIVER I'M.
PR0VEMENTS,

A convention of capitalists, spectators
and politicians, in which the two last named
classes were by far the most numerous. met
at Prairie du CHEN, in Wisconsin, on the
eleventh instant, to consider measures tn
secure aid from Congress for the improve
ment of the Wisconsin river, with view
to establishing navigation by water from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river.
The whole of the proposed improvement
lies within the limits of Wisconsin. and
both the Fox and Wisconsin rivers rise and
discharge their waters in the same State.
Neither the Illinois river nor any of its
tributaries is involved. The following is
a correct description of The topography of
the route:
The Wisconsin River having its rise in
the northern part Of the State Of Wisconsin
runs southerly until II approaches the Fox
River, turns abruptly southwesterIy and
running in that course one hundred and
eighteen miles, empties into the Mississippi.
The Fox River having its rise in the sontb-
ern part of Wisconsin runs northwesterlv
until it approaches the Wisconsin River.
turns abruptly northeasterly, and running
IN that course, one hundred and sixty miles
through Lakes Puckawa and Winnebapo
emptles into Lake Michigan at Green Bay.
The divide, or portage, at the nearest point
OF approach, separating the waters putting
into the Gull of Mexico from waters mutt.
ing into the Saint Lawrence, is a level sand
prairie, without rock, and in width. one
and one-half miles. The Wisconsin at the |
portage is at the summit level. II Is
about seven feet higher than the Fox |
az the portage, about two hundred |
feet higher than Lake Michigan at |
the mouth of the Fox and one hund- |
red and sixty-nine feet higher than the |
Mississippi at the mouth of the Wisconsin.
Already canal at the portage connects |
the Wisconsin and the Fox and slack water
communication extending from the portage |
70 Green bay,a distance of one hundred and |
sixty miles, overcomes bylocks and dams |
the fall Of two hundred feet and connects
the Wisconsin river with Lake Michigan. |
Inc FOX river, from its mouthsto Oshkosh. |
on Lake Winnebago. has low water chan |
mel OF about four feet, and from Lake Win |
neDago to The portage Of about three feet.
At stages OF high water boats of three. four
add even five feet draft have passed from
Luxe A1lchlgan up 10 FOX river and down |
the Wisconsin into the Mississippi river.
As late in the season as June boats Of three /
hundred tons burthen have made the as
sage. In stage of low water the Wisconsin /
can. not be navigated on account OF the /
drifting sand
II is proposed that the General Govern
ment be urged to improve the navigation
Of the Wisconsin river from It's mouth TO

THE RACE STREET JOB.

Between the contractors, the politicians
and the Common Council, the residents on
Race street have good prospect fol-
another years enjoyment of the mud and
dust that disagures that otherwise fine
thoronghfare. The question to pave or not
to pave this street has been before either
the property owners, the managers of
the Southern Paving Company or
the City Council for nearly two
years. The residents are agreed as to the
necessity for paving the street, but do not
insist that it shall be done with the new
and rather costly Nicolson pavement.
Those who are interested in the latter,
however, are so urgent for a job that
they are ready at all times to insist that no
other kind of improvement can compare
with it in any particular except in the
very questionable virtue of cheapness.
The City Council, on the other hand
twhose consent ii is necessary to obtain,
ever on the alert for the public good, es-
pecially if some of the public's faithful SER
wants are included in the benefits. sum-
posed this was too good a thing to grant
without the most mature reflection. In
vain the disinterested pavement agents an.
pealed to the City Fathers for leave to
go ahead. No representations that thew
could make had, for a long time anv
weight. They saw a big job in hand, and
Oelieyed in an extended distribution of the
good results. At last, however, wearied
by the opportunities or convinced by the
arguments of the agents, the Council, in a
moment OF weakness, passed the resolu- !
ton, and certain stock went up. Mavor
Conway then stepped in and arrested the
project when in full tide of success; the
Council at once changed its mind, and the
stock is fat again.
Whether any further attempt will he
made to get the job remains to be seen. In
all probability, unless it is taken out of
other hands, it will not be consummated
during the time of the present generation.
in tne meantime it would be well for the
INHABITANTS of Race street tc Law down
some temporary pavement, such as shells,
square block, or even cobble stones, so that
they can patiently await the result of the
negotiations between the outside contend
ing rings.
By that time it may be the property
owners Of Race street will have become
recOnciled TO the good old style pavement
that has been adopted for other localities
