upper country. This boat is under the charge Of
kingsbpry Smith, who have issued circular setting
forth the rates charged by them and the rates estab

favor of the wharf boat. They also claim saving of
from four to six days in time, well saving of
one per cent. in Insurance. They make no charges

JUDGE CHASE AND EDMUNDs' BlLL.-The Washing

interview with Judge Chase The writer says the

Edmunds bill regulating the Southern electoral votes

Democrats are advised TO keep their eyes it accord
ingy. Bairs letter, he says, is simply up to the ext
gences Of the times. He sees nothing revolutionary
in it. On the contrary, he is inclined to think that it
aims to stop the revolution, which the admission of
carpet-bag Senators is undoubtedly working in our
form of government. The letter, hence will do no
HARM but possibly much good it it restraints the Jaco-
bins from further outrages by indicating what the
future has in store for them. 5I=5@sz - 90 za5@ -a'
