1t may be too late 10 e1ectualsy oppose the
schemes whereby the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company seeks 10 acquire the valuable
riparian rights In front Of the city, but the
following suggestions may be worthy Of fu.
turc consideration In regard to similar cuses:
The Supreme Court Of the Cn.tod statcs
decided, in 1864, In regard to the acc. et1ons
on the North Side, that they belonged to the
owner Of the fec Of tho land sdjolring the
wntcr .tRauks u. Ogden, 2 2:Wallace, 57). and
the same rule applies on tho South nide.

THK CITY DEPOSITS.

year or more ago. They remember
that pumbcr of the principal bsuka In
the city made Al efssr TO the Council to
pay four per cent on the average balances

Eary' 1oanH 10 the city government of
whatever money il mighs need from time

by Alderman WoooaId, who held lhat it

TreaSurerto eep1si1 in the banks which
would pay inte1est lor the ule of the bal

In order 10 obviate these objections
The CITY Solicitor, II the request OF the
Ccuncil, drew an amendment TO the city
Charter con1e1rlnE the power on the city
government: 10 receive interest on de-
posite, and also to take security from
those banks which might be designated

BOW THE NEGROES WOULD VOTE.

The New York World continues to
cffe1 resistance to impartial suffrage. Il
has ebanduned, however, most OF its
former gr uuds of opposition. 1t no
longer areues against the rigMfulness Ct
EQUAL suffrage, but now rests its opp psi
tion on The assumption that the blacks
will all vote the Republican ticket, and
thereby secure to that psrty continu-
snce Of political power. Therefore, it ap-
peala to the Democracy to oppose equ.l
sufflsge TO the bitter end.
It would be hard to conceive of a
meaner basis Of opposition to negro
suffrage. Nearly all Irishmen, when first
naturalized, support the Democratic
ticket. Would that fact furnish q good
reaaon to justify the Republican party in
oppossng the naturalization Of Iriahmen !?
If Democrats are justified in preventing
black men from being enfrenchised lest
they may vote the Republican ticket,
would not the same motive hold the Re-
publicans equally blameless in estopping
lrishmen from taking o.. their cc1tid-
Gates OF nsturalizations
The World was obliged to take this
selfish position because there is nothing
else on which it can rally its party
against impartial suffrage. But it as.
sunes What il not true when It alleges
that al the blacks would vote the Repub.
iican ticket. Tie great m,j, ,rity Of them
in the South support the Republican ps1.
u because that party enancipatcd and
enfranchised them, and they have dread
Of being deprived OF their freedom if the
Democrats and ex-rebels como into
power. But let the leaders OF that psrty
prcclsim themselves in favor Of equal
rights, and give pledges that they
will project them in their civil
and political rights, and vast
numbers OF the blacka will
join their ranks, and "vnte eArly ami
ntten for their ticket. A colenporary
oi the World describes the classc, or
blacks who would 60 over to the
Democratic psrty:
"At drst, they would ba dtst1ustcd and tbois

sOkE GOOD DONE BY ARVXRDY

a great many Americans have boon
puzzled to know what good Rcyerdy
johnson has accomplished by his sojou1n
In England. II will. perhaps, please
them 10 know that he Is credited by the
English journals with having effected q
removal Of the restriction imposed on
the use Ct American hay.
The restriction referred to was i'm
posed in in September last, by an order
from Her Majesty's Council" limiting
the consumption of American hay to
horses only, lest the British cattle shou'd
become infected with the Texas
lever. The people Of England ard
America, generally, failed to see the
wisdom OF the order, IS it Is we'll known
that the lay imported from the States
to the British Isles is principally grown
in Pennsylvania-more than thousand
miles out Of the track Of the obnoxious
animals. 1t may be urged by
those who do no. ca1e to
recognize the high diplomatic
ability ct MIR. johnson that the FOLLY Of
the order was so transparent that it was
only necessary to lay the facts OF the case
before the Council in order to procure
repeal OF the edict II may also be OBJ
jected that hundreds Of British merchants
had also petitioned the British Govern
ment to allow their cattle to live. To all
this it Is only necessary to cay that the
English authorities accord to him the
praise, as is shown in the following v ords,
which introduce the correspondence in
one commercial paper: "Anybody wish
"ing to learn how the American Ambassa-
"dcr. can remove restrictions on trade, Is
"well as pacify nation, should read, ,",e etc
To our mind there is peculiar fitness
ofthe action to tho man, which IS sutf1-
cicnt to stamp it as his: The great
"diner.oul" had evidently feasted him
self so we'll in England at the expense Of
the American public that "a fellow feel
ing made him wondrous kind" and he
took pity on the poor beasA OF the field,
and raised his powerful voice in their be-
half Wonderful Reverdyl II in his
official career across the Atlantic he has
becn guilty Of q most palpable bull, 11e
has fairly earned the gratitude Of the
British. cows. None VIII dispute his
right to enjoy it.

While the public eye, with some degree Of
