OBJ sTRUCT10Ss TO EAvIeABLE STREAM

OB STRUCT1OhS TO MANAGEABLE STREAMS.
A spirited contest took place in the Gin
cinnati Commercial Convention, on the
third day of the session, upon the subject
of erecting railroad bridges across navi-
gable rivers. There were evidently two
opposing interests in the Convention,
each fortified with reasons why their
respective views should prevail. The
steamboat men claimed the right as an
axiom of law to the free navigation of
American rivers, while the railroad men
were as positive in declaring their right of
way across the rivers A resolution was
finally adopted denying the correctness of
the position that navigable streams may
be obstructed under any circumstances.
The effect of this policy, if carried out,
will be to compel the erection of railroad
bridges at such height as not to inter-
fere with passing steamers, or furnishing
each bridge with a draw, to be raised as
occasion may require.
This conflict between steamboat men
and railroad men is of many years stand
ing. The bridge across the Ohio at
Wheeling, and the one across the Missis-
sippi at Rock Island, have cost litigants
enough in law charge, to have raised the
distractions complained of out of the
reach of the tallest mast that carries orr
flag across the ocean And if an under
standing can be arrived at, or rule es-
tabished which will settle the question
by means of this action Of the convention.
we shall consider it a result sufficiently
satisfactory to compensate for the trouble
OF holding the convention. Heretofore
but little has been accomplished by these
assemblies of so-called commercial men.
They usually recommend measures which
the members are unwilling to urge, by
means If their local influences and at
heir pecuniary cost; but as no great re-
suits were expected, there was little or no
comment

Horace Greely.

The veteran Republican, Horace Gree
ly, has been spoken Of in connection with
the Republican nomination for Governor
of New York In the Tribune he ex-
presses himself willing to serve the party
on the ticket. either at its head or at its
tail He thinks that stronger candi-
date for Governor can be found, and that
he can be of more use to the party when
working for others than when working
for himself. He is looking to the unity
and strength of the party, and says, BY
the nomination of what capable and
worthy Republican for State Officer can
We call out the largest vote, and thus
secure the election of the most Republi-
can Members of Congress and of the As
sembly."
Horace Greely does not understand
that RePublicanism means a scramble for
Office He understands that Republican.
ism stands at the head of the civilization
of the world, and that in its advocacy for
the establishment OF liberal govern
ment here to include the oppressed of all
lands who come among us voluntarily,
does not lower the grade Of the party,
but raises it higher. He understands
that to confer rights and privileges that
have been despotically withheld, is high
and noble, and cannot result in harm to
the party who confer the boon, but it
must, in time. result in honor to the donor
and prove a God-send to those upon
whom the favor falls. For the accom-.
plishment of such great objects Horace
Greedy is content to labor. He finds his
honor in the labor for the common good.
Let us profit by the lesson.

TIE Republicans of the State seem to
be everywhere selecting tickets made
up Of admirable men. There is always
some clashing of personal interests in
conventions. and that is where they should
be; but it has been seldom, indeed. that
so little of this trouble has manifested
itself as during the present season. The
final selections have left the party with
out quarrels to brood over or split upon,
and there is general satisfaction. But
the time has come when every active man
should be at work. First class candidates
call for first class majorities, as due to
the representative and 70 the cause. This
requires organization, system, zeal and
steady work. 1t should commence early
and not relax until the day is won. Vic

The War In Europe.

1t ia q little more than a month since
actual hostilities were commenced along
the French and Prussian border. Il was
on the End day of August that q heavy
column Of French troops moved on and
took possession of Saarbruck. and it was
here that the Prince Imperial received
his "baptism of fire" This "6rst vic.
tory" magnificent as it was. was herald
ed abroad. and looked upon as an omen
of success to the French cause. But,
alas how disappointed were those who
thus believed. The shouts of joy had
not yet ceased their echoes when they
were drowned by the heavy tramp Of the
brave Prussians, under the Crown Prince,
advancing OH Weissenburg. and the CO.
operating and laundering march of Gen.
Steinmetz on Saarbruck. From the day
of that advance to the End day Of this
month-the day on which Mcmahon sur
rendered his army. including the En-
peror Napoleon and his son---success has
continually been with the Prussians.-
The surrender was made at Sedan. Ba-
zaine is securely Gagged in Metz. He is
powerle.s in his present position. His
capitulation is looked for hourly. 9,
If we dare base an opinion on the de.
spatches from France, the spirit of the
leading men at Paris and of the En-
pire" has not been broken by these un-
paralleled disasters, but they are rising
with the crisis, and calling earnestly on
all Frenchmen to come to the rescue Of
France. The result or end cannot be
fore:old. If the public men who are
coming to the surface in this awful con.
fict are pure and can rise above "self,'
it may yet be well with France. "A re-
public !" is now the cry. A provisional
government has been set up. We fear
that the leaders are dangerous men.

might have perceived that this would be
impossible; for, roon as l had sunk from
elevation down to point not more tn an
a hundred feet from the end of the pole,
met the swift current Of air rushing out,
and was once more hoisted up in the
clouds. This was repeated several times
over; and l found myself in the condi-
ton of a cork ball, sustained in the air
by stream of water from fountain. 1t
is little odd, that at this time there
came to my mind vivid recollection OF
such a cork ball, that used to see toss
