CANAL,

villa have been petihoniug Congress for
many years to take some action concerning
the canal around the Falls of the Ohio
River From recent memorial By tha |
Chamber of Commerce of tho former city,
We learn the following facts: That the |
canal Vas commenced as long ngo as 1926,
when the commerce Of tho Ohio River was,
probably, twice as great AZ it is now |
that, up the o4th OF June, 1861, there had |
been expended, in the construction and
management of the work, aud otherwise,
sG,aGa. .0oo, of which, in tha Same
time, the canal contributed for tolls
$4,aC7,97s. The ca1la1, at that time, had
in the treasury S239, ,653; that $f94, III
was raised from other sources than tolls,
md that there remnins debt of 81, ,661, 600
due by the canal In 1860 ths United
States had become tho owner Of all the
stock of the canal except five ahaTes held
BY individuals To enable them to serve as
Directors OF the company. In that yeaz
Congress, by joint resolution, authorized
The Canal Company, with its revenues and

mated by the delegates to the State Conven-
ton from the respective districts or counties
therein represented.
Beside this, we need a State Executive Com
mittee of seven or nine members, appointed
by the whole Convention on the nomination OF
it's President, and giving its best efforts to the
inyigorstion of the general canvass. If there
should ever be dead alive districts or counties,
this Committee should devote its best efforts
to their resuscitation; 1t should take care that
ballots are nowhere deficient, and that no
grave Misrepresentation by the adversary should
pass unrebuked. 1t should be in perpetual
session throughout the canvass, dispatthing
one or more of its members to any point where
its efforts were specially needed. 1t should
be in effect the General Staff of our army, as
the Corresponding Committee would be the
staff of its several corps and divisions
With such an organization, aided by able and
iudicious nominations. and an active canvass
by our candidates for Congress and for the
Legislature, we can call out Four Hundred
Thousand legal voters, rendering Hoff'mans re-
election impossible unless by such frauds as
carried him through in 1863 And those, thanks
to Congress, we shall now be able to prevent.

training, superior not only in organization,
equipment, leadership-but more valiant by
nature. The Gaul is known to be of quick,
nervous temperament, fierce and passionate,
and it is a popular error that of such races
come the conquering legions OF the world.
The Teuton, on the contrary, is phlegmatic,
patient under provocation, and peacefully in
clined /: and there is a popular impression that
such nations do not fight The dark and
Southern races in all countries have been ac-
counted daring when they displayed only
desperation, and reputed courageous when, in
truth, they were only contemptuous OF danger
The differentiated and paler faced Northemers
have had their reluctance to fight mistaken
for cowardice, and their dread OF war has been
msconstrued into fear of their enemies. Our
civil war gave the Northern and southern
people better idea of the warlike qualities OF
each other. The same lesson is being repeated
lust now in France, and when it is concluded
the fierce Frenchman will have clearer IDEA
Of his cousins across the Rhine, and, we doubt
not, a greater regard and respect for them as
a military people.

INFdLLTBILITY.

Archbishop cCloskeys response to the rever-
ent address of his Clergy, on the occasion OF
his safe return from the Gcumenical Council
of the Vatican, was fully reported in our last,
and has been read by most of our readers-by
many of them with great satisfaction.
Having steadfastly held that Papal Infalli-
bility, as correctly defined by the Archbishop,
was not essentially a new doctrine, but a
necessary logical deduction from the principles
which the Roman Catholic Church has for
centuries maintained, and that the great mass
of the laity of that Church, 80 far as we have
any knowledge, have Arrays held the Pope in
fallible to the full extent of the ArchbishOp's
definition, we regret that we do not find in
this address any light cast on question which
we have already propounded, and which we
will now reiteTate-as follows:
Assuming the Pope to be infallible, and to
have always been thus regarded by Roman
Catholics, why should an Gcumenical Council
have been held to pronounce him so 7 We do
not ask why it should have been necessary at
this time to formulate and prOmulge the
dogma, since that point is touched by the
Archbishop in his address--but why this might
not better have been done by the Pope him
self, without putting all the Bishops and their
attendants to the serious inconvenience OF as
sembling in Council, and giving many months
to the work. The Council can at best be no
more than infallible-if the promise to Peter
ran only to his successors in the Roman See,
it may have been less than that. We do not
require our lower to revise the decisions OF
our higher Courts why then, should this
Council have been invited to pass upon the
question of Papal Infalibility And why, in
deed, should Council have ever been assem-
bled at all

STATE ORGANIZATIONS.

AS it becomes daily more evident that the
Republicans of New-YOrk, encouraged by the
favorable response of Congress to their earnest
prayers for such legislation as would hence
forth preclude Wholesale frauds in naturaliza-
ton, in polling and in counting votes, are
about to engage in resolute attempt to wrest
the Empire State from the cOrruptiOnists who
have by felony enthralled her, new interest
in our current politics is awakened and diff
fused. One evidence of this awakening is the
earnestness with which active Republicans
canvass the fitness of their respective favOrtes
to be placed on the Republican State Com
mittee. And hereupOn few words of sug-
gestion may not be ill-timed.
We need a State Committee of Correspond
ence, composed of one jealous, capable. infu-
entail Republican in each Congress district, OF
better stilD IN each county. He should be
the center and handspring of our organization
in such district or county, q member car oHciO

ence with every local organization, and with
the State Executive Committee. II should be

the charge that she was intended for the

Is it necessary that we should ruin New-Yors

The monthly statement Of the Public Debt
herewith printed shows reduction of that
Debt during the last month by more than
Thirteen Millions of Dollars, or at the rate of
One Hundred and Sixty Millions per annum.
We deplOre the fact that but one more such
monthly statement can be hoped for. since the
sweeping reductions of our Internal Taxes take
effect on and after Oct. list, cutting down the
Revenue to the extent of Six or Seven Mil
lions per month.

keeping in the Treasury over One Hundred
Millions of Coin and nearly Forty Millions of
Currency we will thank some one to set it
forth. We have never yet been able to find
person unconnected with the Treasury who
approved this gigantic boarding of coin. We

is, paying debt-witb the surplus lying dead

We have carefully reported the successive
steps in the advancing movement in Pennsyl
vania in favor of Minority Representation.
1t seems time now to congratulate its friends
on the substantial progress they have made.
No State needs more than Pennsylvania tho
protection this system would Afford no one
might better lead in the publication of politics
it is destined to work. The tyranny of major
ity may be, in it's way, as dangerous to COM
munty as the tyranny of one man and we
shall still fall short of the ideal representative
government, while we deny nine hundred and
fifty men in each among scores of our villages
or other election districts any representation
whatever in their State or local governments,
because thousand of their neighbors think
differently from them about public AFFAIRS

which we may do the Commissioners wrong,
is drawn from their resolution to inquire into

the occupants of said nuisances 1t is distress
ing to reflect that in pursuing this inquiry the
Commissioners will doubtless learn that the

doings to date. Considerable anxiety is felt to
learn what the Convention will do. The admin

satisfactory to those who elected him, and
there is a general desire on the part OF the
great mass of the Republicans OF the State
that he be reelected. A few malcon-
