The Canal Question.

EDITOR STAR:-I noticed in the proceedings
or the Council on last Monday evening, that for
the hrst time, TO my knowledge, has any thing
tangible been offered for the Improvement of the
canal, and that was the substitute offered by
MT. Davis to the bill offered by Mr.. Emery. Mr.
DAVIS bill, as l understand il, provides for the
appointment of a board, composed of men of
ability, free and unbiased i'm political matters.
to determine what shall be done with the canal:
it invites the best talent and ability Of our civil
may be commenced without swamping the
Corporation by making large appropriations to
commence work, and when the money is all ex-
pended, as has heretofore been the case, to be
no better OFF than when commenced. There ap-
pears several questions to be settled by the board
proposed in the bill before anything can be
successfully accomplished: the 1st is, has the
Corporation forfeited its right to the canal.
My opinion Is that it has, and whether it be so
or not this bill provides the way to settle the
matter by the appointment of gentlemen named
in the bill on the part Of the Government. The
second is, has the Government any right to as
sst i'm cleaning and improving the canal? L
ernment would have to provide sewerage for all
the public buildings in the city. The Corpora
ton has there not only provided sewerage for
the Government, but kept 1t up for years, with
OUT any aid or assistance Of any account from
congress. The Government has no right what
ever TO tax the citizens Of Washington to pro-
VIDE sewerage for the public buildings; hence
oy Mr. Davis; providing that Congress shall ap-
propfiate such additional amount as will insure
tnoiouen completion Of the same. am sure
that the board Of Aldermen has struck upon
the plan az last to have the canal nuisance for
ever aoonshed, II they see the matter in the
best interest for the entire city. !.

The Steele declares that the Bona

demands to know why France should
think Of the Bonapartes. The Gaulois
proposes that women not wearing mourn
ing in the streets should be insulted.
The Figaro complains that there have
been only 1900 arrests. The Project OF
Police says there is room for no more in
prison. The Figaro replies, ''if you can
not lodge ali Prussian spies, shoot them,
and yea have more ROOM" As a Sc
qaence of the recent suggestion, the
same journal proposes to supply the Prus-
slams with poisoned food. This, be it
remembered, is in Paris which claims to
be the center of modern civilization
These are the suggestions of press that
was Mortified at Gen. Buffers order in
New Orleans. that women who openly
insulted our soldiers, by opprobrious
epithets, or by splitting in their faces,
&c., should be treated as women of the
town. There must be. something desper-
ate in the near future of Paris, or such
utterances would not be made.
