The Water Line,


In the pamphlet of Messrs. FISK and
HArcu, bankers, of New York, showing the
superiority of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road az short and economical line of COM
munication between the Atlantic seaboard
and the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, refc-
renee is incidentally made to the James
Riser and Kenawha canal. From the re-
epectful nature of this allusion we cannot
suppose that any injustice was designedly
done, the canal but as the statements made
are in important particulars erroneous, we
give below corrections, furnished by the
Chief Engineer Of the canal, Colonel LoR-
RAINE. :. ..
The pamphlet issued by Messrs. FISK and
HATCH says: -
" It would require to complete it {the Co.
naD to the Kanawha an expenditure va
riously estimated at from forty to eighty
millions of dollars, and involve, beside
thfSe Thousand feet of additional lockage
lift, q tunnel through the summit of the
Alleghanies nine miles in length"
The actual estimate of the cost of COM
plotting the canal is S37, 363,911. Of course
persons can exercise their imaginations in
initiating this estimate to any amount they
choose but in regard to the lockage, there
is no room for the imaginative powers, and
the facts should have been stated as they
are.
The whole amount of lockage on the
canal from Richmond to the Kanawha river
is 1852 feet, and the additional lockage
q. U.S. from Buchanan to the Kanawha,) is
l,97l feet, which is very different thing
from 5000 feet.

T HEALTH'S BEST DEFENCE
1.-THE weak eateth herbs" says st. Paul, SO that
1900 years ago the value of medicinal plants was
appreciated. In the Old Testament botanical re-
NEEDLES are repeatedly recommended, but In no
passage of sacred history Is man recommended
to swallow calomel, or blue pill, or any other MI
neral preparation. The sick were dire cted to eat
herbs to strengthen them, to purify them, TO heal
them to restore them. In that day the art OF
making vegetable extracts was unknown. The
herbal medicines were mere infusions.
1t was reserved for late- age to unite the sani-
tary essences Of tonic, aperient and anti.bilious
roots, barks, and plants with an active stimuiant
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debilitated or dsordered system. The browning
triumph OF this effective mode Of concentrating
and applying the virtues Of medicinal vegetables
was achieved In the production OF HoSTETTER's
STOMACH BIrTERs. Never before had per-
fectly pure alcoholic stimulant been combined
with the expressed juices of the finest specifics OF
the vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eiFh-
teen years have elapsed since Its introduction,
has this great restorative been equalled. 1t Is
taken at all seasons, In all cimes, as the most po-
tent safeguard against epidemics, as protection
against all unhealthy exhalatlons that produce
debility or beget disease as remedy for Inter
mittent and other maiarious feyers rs an appe-
tizer as sovereign cure for dyspepsia ,. as o
general tonic and inyigorant; rs gentle. pain
less aper!ent: as blood depurent es nervine |;
anodyne aud as the best defence of health under
unfayorable circ um stances, such as sedentary
pursuits, undue bodily or mental exertion, hard
ship, priyation, and exposure. ia l5-eod&wlw

The conflict over Virginia has done two
good things. 1t has killed Mr.. SUMNER and
it has put the ball and chain upon PORTER
so efectually that they will be worn by him
for the remainder of his life. Till now his
iniamy has been that of an obscure man
confined to narrow limits. Having been
gibbeted in both Houses of Congress, he
hes been awarded the national contempt
and disgust, and doomed to general obloquy
by an ireyocable sentence. The devil will
only deplore that he was not man of
more importance. While no is hardly worth
the national contempt, evil spirits will find
little in him to make q triumph Of.

Virginia IN Congress.

O.'a-sg.s 4..a.E
Thepassage of BISaHAa's resolution IN
the House Of Representatives on Friday al! al
hitting the Virginia representatives without
further conditions, though it settled the
quessionS d, her prompt admission. e''
placed it beyond doubt--does not render
certain the passage of BIseHAx's resolu-
ton unamended., Judging from strong
indication in che Senate on Friday night,
that efsthe very large vote {4o to l3) adopt
ing sEDavsDs's amendment to the Senate
bill--we should not be surprised if ON cath
in conformity with the fourteenth amend
mcnt 10 required of the members OF the
virgsnia Legislature by the amendment OF
BINsHAa's resolution in that body. Ii II
he so amended il viii be promptly agreed
to blythe House, as We may clearly infer
from the close vote upon the competing pro-
positions of BINGHAM's substitute and the
billireported by the Reconstruction Com
mittee, which contained that oath.
We would prefer-very greatly prefer
tNNs OlNGHAM IeSoiut1Ou oHuulA pe@So ~
it is, because it would be a neater and
cleaner and more creditable job-more in
dicatiye of generous trust and respect. But
at The same time the addition of the oath
to prospect the fourteenth amendment we can
notassert to be the imposing of new condI-
tions. The fourteenth amendment already
excludes all persons from Office who are I'M
able to take such On oath. Those members
of Congress who propose to require 1t only
undertake to give vitality to the fourteenth
amendment itself. Therefore we are not
made worse off by provision in the law
admitting the State to representation re-
curing such oath to be taken; and we think
it probable that such provision will be
added to BISGHAM's resolution. We would
rather, for appearance sake, that it we're
not but signs show that it probably will be.
The Senate goes into voting upon the sub
icct to-day at 4 o'clock, and we have no
doubt will promptly dispose Of it, and that,
too. in o manner that will place Virginia
to no new disadvantage. We expect to see
the State in the Union to-day.

The great parade made in Paris over the
body of NoIR, who was shot to death by
Prince NAPOLEON, shows the sort of strategy
employed by the French politicians and
partisans to agitate and enrage the people,
and drive them to imbruing their hands in
one another's blood. The affair was alto
gether personal-the result of newspaper
offence. Yet theparty opposed to the prince
gave it State importance, and attempted
revolution out Of it. This prince has led
. wild life, is, in high life and princely
point of view, a sort of yagabond prince,
who is not in favor with the Emperor, and
the furthest possible removed from any
right to be linked with State matters. He
was bitterly assailed, possibly because he
was "prinee," the title making him as

Virginia and General Grant.

It cannot be denied that General GRAVY
has adhered to Virginia with unfaltering
determination. Since Congress assembled
lie has repeated his opinions on the sub
ject with frequency and emphasis quite
remarkable for one so reticent az be is.
Indeed, such has been his urgency that OF
consequence an issue has been forced be-
tween him and those in Congress who we're
opposed to admitting Virginia, or favored
the imposition of new conditions alike in
violation of the faith of Congress and the
ordinary obligations Of policy and human
ity. This issue and it's consequences are Of
greater magnitude than may appear upon
the face. It will probably .outlive the set
element of the question itself, and carry
with it effects bearing strongly upon the
relations of men and parties.
We look upon the final vote in the House
on Friday upon BINGHAM's resolution Qeav-
ing out the Democrats) as show of hands
Tor GRANT as we'll as Virginia. Half of
those (of course Republicans) who voted
for the Reconstruction Committees bill
went over to the BINGHAM resolution. They
were GRANT men, and though preferring
the committees bill, they were determined
to put the question through out of respect
to General GRANTS policy. This we think
quite apparent, and We may feel that we
are indebted to General GRANT for not be-
ing now in the condition of Tennessee be-
fore her last election-with the iron-clad
fastened upon us, and enduring saturna'
liza Of incompetency, faithlessness, and bar
barism. We are neither the especial friend
nor advocate of General GRANT, but we say
in al sincerity that Virginia owes to him
large debt of gratitude.
