Now that the commission has wisely decided
TO open the canal for navigation the Councils
should take immediate action, by resolution TO
induce the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to also
open its portion from Eth street to Rock Creek,
so that the connection with the canal above
may he complete. The canal company has
doubtless long since forfeited its right to this
portion Of the city csnal by its failure to keep il
IN navigable order. which the charter eDjoins,
and the company may be willing to surrender II
TO the city; but If not, then ii should be COM
PEELED to open this portion for navigation. The
cost would probably be not more than So. 100,
and II surrendered TO the city perhaps the
$4,000 to be expended by the city and the
general government would open the whole for
navigation. The work will be nearly all with
the shovel and wheslbarrov, and will furnish
labor TO large numbers OF men during the
coming winter, wher ii is so much needed.

by this movement IL the report is true. He can
not hope to cope with the superior forces of the

That MUDDLE, MIDDLE. MUDoLR-The
Con mission on the Revision of the Statutes
have come 10 the rescue OF Mr. Jenckes and,
though they at first had grave apprehensions
that the objections so positively urged against
the act of 1870 could not be sV-mOunted by any
rule OF legal construction" their apprehensions
have now been "wholly relieved" They hold
that the law admits OF a safe and consistent con-
suuetiOn, by treating the headings Patents
and Copyrigh's," under which the acts At
ieeted by the repeal are arranged in the Sched-
ule, as indicating how much OF each act is
repealed; and they say
{" The repeating clause repeais the acts and
parts OF acts set forth in the Schedule. 70 as
certain whether an act men oned is repealed
entre, or only in part, We have examined such
act. IL II relates wholly ID patents or copy-
rights, we construe the schedule as meaning
that tss act IS repealed. IL only some parts OF
II relate to tho subjects, we corstrue il a.
nearing that those parts oaIy are repealed
So, after all, they 'constTue" it as they would
some blind passage in q dead Ianguaze-accord-
ing II what they fhirk il ought to be. The fact
~, the blunder is such an enormous one, and so
sweeping in its effects, that the government
must in self defence seek some mode OF inter
preting the law the opposite OF literal con-
suuctiOn Of its direct words.
