The Mississippi Valley Navigation
Gompany's enterprise is one that bids
fair to revolutionize matters and make
the Mississippi worth more to the cities
OH its banks than any of the great
highways of art. The practical effc-
iency of low pressure boats on this
river is demOnstrable. After many
years devotion to this matter, Capt.
DE HAVEN has produced a plan Of
boat which has the endorsement of
hundreds of the most eminent scien-
titic men, builders and machinists
throughout the country, who commend
it warmly as a desideratum to COM
merce, and a work and combination
of genius. OF its success no man can
doubt, who with a common share of
sense will look into the matter. The
day is near when none but low pres
sure boats will pillow our waters. And
the plan of this will be adopted, if
excellence in all respects is to be
the criterion on which the result
depends. \ somewhat pains-taking
investigation warrants the conclusion
to which we have arrived. These
boats will have double the speed of
any now on our waters, while they
cost little more than boats on the old
plan. They will be run at half the
expense for labor and fuel. Freights
can be delivered in half the time, at
half the rates and half insurance, with
increased certainty. The reception
and delivery offreights is by the same
power which propels the machinery;
more rapid, and a saving of both time
and labor. The boat is so constructed
as to have no necessity of turning to
make landings ON the downward
trips, by which t~hree-fourths the acct
dents are caused. 1t is divided into
compartments water and air tight,
and cannot be snagged SO as to sink.
Fire in the hold can be confined to a
single compartment, and will be read
lily extinguished by the all pervading
power of steam, for which suit
able apparatus is provided. A
bed on such a boat viii be
asssafe as on the land. Great strength
is obtained in the manner of construc-
ton of the hull. Notwithstanding
the Increased speed, there will not be
One-twentieth the risk from all causes.
Reduced damage to eargOes by the use
of steam instead of water to extin-
guish fire. Reduction of fare to pas
sengers. Greater profits resulting
from time, fuel, wear and tear, etc,
saved, with greater certainty of dis
patch. The advantages are remarka-
bic and signal; and that the enter
prise will prove profitable to stock
holders, beyond that of other and or
binary lines Of boats, as we'll as q
boon to the whole public, we do not
entertain & doubt. Five such boats as
the M now first contemplated, with
its capacity for 2724 tons of freight,
making two trips to other boats One,)
Will carry al the freight received at
Memphis, or equal the capacity of
the twenty largest boats now on the
river. For the benefit of our city es-
pecially, the results will be more inn
mediately advantageous than any
enterprise on foot; and that is
only a question of time. Freighta

TEE Chattanooga Republican sup
poses that in the event of SENTER's
success, it is more than likely another
case similar to that of DoRR, of Rhode
Island, viii be on hand in Tennessee.
If so, we promise our would-be DoRR
and his colaborers a handsome thrash
ing and Imprisonment in the p%eniten-
tiary to boot. Neither GRANT nor
his Cabinet, nor his Congress, viii be
able to interpose between the law
abiding people of our State and the
Revolutionary Stokes. Ifheattempts
the role of DoRR he must prepare for
the consequences; and we promise
him they Will be as heavy as the laws
Of Tennessee can make them. It will
be time to turn the tables on the new
rebels. and put disfranchisement on the
other leg.

A PRIVATE letter from jackson in.
forms us that the Conservatives are a
unit for SLAUGHTER, and that since
that gentleman's visit to the pleasant
capital Of Madison the chances for
MCCALL are growing small by de-
grees and beautifully less. This is as
it should be. We hope that SLAueH-
TER's friends viii work to make for
him the majority that another of our
correspondents claims for him-fully
1000 over both his Radical COMPETE
tors. Every independent candidate
like MCCALL should be run off the

YERGER-JLA KING POLITICAL
GAPH4L

YERGEB-HAKING POLITICAL
C4PITAL.
1t is am unhappy state of affairs
when an accused person cannot have
a fair trial for his life, and the benefits
which the law gives to every citizen
alike, whether guilty or innocent. 1t
is hard enough that in time of peace a
citizen entitled by the constitution Of
the land to be triedby his peers, a jury
of his eountrymen, should be tried by
a military court, especially in a State
where the civil officers are the APP
pOintees of the Government, and sub
ject to the control of the military
power itself. Such is the state of
things in Mississippi. And now, in
the ease of +. NJ. YERGER, rs if this
vas not enough, an attempt is made
in the North to make political capital
out of his case, and to control and
0verawe the Supreme Court before
whom the case has been carried, or to
injure the Chief Justice on the one
hand or the President on the other.
ThechaFge that any promise" has
been made by Judge CHASE, such as
that averred in the following dispatch
to the Cincinnati Commercial, isso sill
Iy and absurd as well as criminal as
not to escape being contemplate:
The friends of Chief Justice Chase are
busy circulating a story that the post
ponement of a decision on the application
of Yerger for a writ of habeas corpus, was !
effeeted at the instance of the President
and his Cabinet. The tale bears its own
contradiction, for il is evident that Cabi-
net consultations have nothing whatever
TO 10 with the deliberations of the chief
Judicial officer in the land. 1t is asserted
that Yerger's friends did not file their APP
plication until they had previously OBJ
tanned a verbal promise from Judge Chase
for its favorable consideration.
Chase's Radical friends (very few of that
kind remain) advised him tina the prom
ised decision, if rendered at this time,
would injure his political status in the
hence the -postponement; and
pending further developments the judi
cial candidate for the next Presidency
fiatters himself that, while he has gained
favor with his Southern friends, he has
not lost ground with the few Northern
who believe in him, but who do
not believe in the unconstitutionality Of
military power now trying Yerger for
bis life. When the case comes up before
5he full bench of the Supreme Court, he
will be able TO fulfill his promise to re-
ease Yerger without assuming the sole
responsibility of the act.
II ispalpable that YERGER's friends
,ould gain nothing by delay in filing
heir petition, when they could as
obtain promises after as before
he application. If the story is true
S to the Judge or the President it
My proves that somebody should be
mpeached besides A. j. But such
crambling for political capital by the 1
.iends of one against the other over =
unhappy and unfortunate victim is
shame and disgrace Unreasonable.

STILL MAKING TREASON ODIoUs.-Grant
has removed one Of the most gallant Union
Generals from the Governship of New Mex
leo, and appointed C. C. Grow, an unre-
constructed rebel, in his place. General
Mitchell, who is displaced, bears on his
body the scars of no less than sixteen
wounds received in the service of his coun-
try. In one of the battles OF the West,
General Mitchell defeated rebel force un-
der Crow, capturing large number of his
men. Now Crow has captured Mitchell, in
the campaign which is being carried on un-
der Grant. General Mitchell is gentle
man of high intelligence and the strictest
integrity. BE has made a most excellent
Governor, and the affairs of New Mexico
have prospered greatly under his control
The strange part of all this is, that this
means of making treason odious" is heart
lily endorsed by the entire Radical press of
the country. Now, suppose Seymour had
been elected President and he had appoint
cd such men On Grow and Longstreet to Of
fee, wouldn't there have been q lively howl

Backing Ones Friends.

The Scranton RepuJLicam is responsible
for the following slashing onslaught upon
the extravagant members of our Radical
Legislature.
What little shreds of virtue the Legis-
lature has boasted, seem to have been main
ly III the Senate. But they are few and
weak at best, and make but Il feeble stand
against determined cabel of corruption
its. The bold front which the Senate on
Wednesday presented against the pastlng
and folding iniquity turned to base com
phcity yesterday, and the Appropriation
bill was put through, carrying in its belly
the whole crew of illegal pastors and fold
ers-the Forty Thieves of this thieving ses-
sion. There was no shadow of legal au-
thority for the appointment of these TWEEN
ty-seven fellows, and they have never
earned cent for the State Paying them
is simply bare-faced robbery, in which
every member who voted with the MAJ orr
ty ON the Appropriation bill is a shameless
accomphce We shall print the list of
Ayes and Noes a. soon as We can get hold
of it," ...... .....
The beauty and strength of the above
"opinion" are enhanced by its extreme
truthfulness. But the Republican,, and
other Radical journals, advocated the ele-
vation of the very men who are now so
openly accused of robbing the people,
while the Democratic press was warming
our citizens against the corruption and ex-
travagance which was in store for them.
In the history of our State there has never
been more icentious and unscrupulOus
body of men brought together than that
which compose the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania. Each day furnished evidence of
the fact, and the people can form just
estimate of the characters of their legisla-
tors from such paragraphs as We have re-
produced, from time to time, from the
Radical papers. Thing must be peculiarly
bad at Harrisburg when they offend the
sensibiities of such journals as the Scran-
ton Pepublicaa. But ''when things are at
the worse they mend, " and We have reason
to hope that the experience of the past will
not be lost upon the people at the fall cleo
tion. Union. .r

Sentence Of q Negro Fiend.

Some few weeks since, when We read
an account of the raVishing of three little
girls by negro at Chambsrsburg, in this
State, we felt rather inclined to the opin-
ion that the story had been exaggerated.
The fiendish brutality attending the case
was such as to make the mention of partic-
ulars disgusting; SO that a simple short
paragraph making the announcementfo found
it's way in some of the papers. We find
the conclusion of this hellish deed sum
marely disposed of in another (brief notice
as follows; . .
"CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, April 22.-Cain
Norris, negro, arrested about q month since
charged with ravishing three white girls,
was convicted to-day and sentenced to So
Itary confinement in the Eastern peniten-
tiary for thirty-fve years. The trial lasted
three hours, and the jury rendered 0 yer
dict of guilty without leaving the box"

Andrew johnson.

president johnson, far from being
dead, gives his opponents full proof of his
vitality. The Radical press have lately
taking to misrepresenting MFR. Johnson's
utterances, which is the best proof that
they have no other way of meeting them
His speech at Knoxville, Tennessee, as re-
ported in the papers of that State, differs
widely from some versions of it that have
been current here. Indeed, there are few
men whose speeches show greater vigor
than Mr. Johnson's and many of his mes
sages and State papers will stand compari-
SON with the best efforts of the same kind
that have emanated from any of his prede-
cessors in the Presidency. At Knoxville
Mr.. johnson thus defined his position:
''I stand now as 1 stood then, battling
for the Union and the Constitution of our
fathers, but where do some of them stand
now 1 told them that the true place
to fight the battle was in the Union and
under the Constitution. So told Jeffer-
son Davis when he left the Senate. After
| the battle of Bull Run the country was dis
mayed, and five thousand troops marching
into Washington could have taken the cap
ital and to restore confidence Mr.. Critten-
den introduced a resolution in one House
and I in the other, declaring the war was
waged for the Union and the Constitution,
and that the States had no power to secede.
That they were not out of the Union, and
could not go out of the Union. Well, we
fought the war. We conquered, and the
defeated bowed to the decision of war and
renewed their allegiance to the government.
Was aot this all We wanted
II has been said, and was true, that had
been maltreated, persecuted and insulted,
and when I came into power the malicious
said: Now he will carry out his own doc
trines his passions will be his guide, and
he will seek revenge. Thank God !! i
am man that, when fighting, viii fight to
the last but when / have conquered, and
my foe is PROSTATE, thank God 1 have
too much magnanimity lot to lift him up.
~
1t is very easy for men to come in our
midst and talk about rebellion, courage and
Union, who, while the rebellion was going
on, were not within the smell of gunpow-
der, but were in their closets or some secret
place, and became war men when the war
was over:
could tell some secrets concerning the
state of affairs. Here it was dangerous for
a man to be Union man there, where
these men came from, they dare not be
anything but loyal. I should like to take
up my sacrifices and compare with these
neophytes. ....l.

ARE WE TO HAVE FOREIGN WAR.-It
would appear from the -doings and sayings
of the ''powers that be, at Washington,
that we are soon to engage in several gigan-
tic wars with foreign nations. First we are
to take Cuba from Spain, and to that end
the Secretary of the Navy is fitting up all
the monitors and other war vessels belong
ing to Uncle Sam, and in addition, we are
told that the President has sent an agent
ON q secret mission to Cuba, we presume
for the purpose of confering with the ''trai-
tors" Then again Old ZacE Chandler, of
Michigan, of "blood letting" notoriety,
electrified the country, on Monday, in a

we must seize and confscate Canada to
satisfy our claims against England for
damages done by the Alabama. Upon
