in Congress.
WASHINGTON, May On motion of
Dir. Wiley, TIE Senate recently directed
tn; Committee to enquire into the expo
dicncy of causing a survey and examine
ton to be made for line of water COM
municat;on between the James and Ohio
rivers, with a view Of ascertaining the
practicability of such waters communica-
ton for the transportation of military and
commercial supplies. To-day the COM
mittee were at their own request discharg-
ed from the further consideration of the
subj 2ct. AS eXplana tory they submit to
the Senate letter on the subject from
General Humphreys, chief of engineers,
in which he says that the property of
fevving at this time the old project of a
continuous canal navigation to the Ohio
liver hv this route is questionable. Judg-
ing by the fate O. analogous improve
ments, the Chesapeake and Ohio, and the
Pennsylvania canal, and, in view Of the
propable speedy completion of the Cnesa-
pcake and Ohio railroad this railroad. in
his opinion, would serve military purposes
better than a canal, and would probably
supplant aug canal likely to be built,
necessarily limited in capacity to adapt it
to the supply OF summit-watcr and encum-
bered with an amount Of lockage indiSpeu-
sable to overcome the intervening eleva-
tons. 1t is stated that the proposed ex-
animation and survey would cost about
$40, 600. and could be made in four
mouths fhe letter says further, that
while some partial surveys Of this route
were made by the Government a number
Of years ago it has not yet been ascerained
whether a canal Of large dimensions is
feasible. .

The Ratification OF the Fifteenth
Amendment-Hoyv the Colored People
Propose to Celebrate the Announce

The Colored National Executive Committee
in Washington City, George T. Downing, pres
ident, and F. G. Barbados, secretary, have
issued an address to the colored people of the
United States, from which we take the follow
ing extract:
Your National Executive Committee. created
by you in National Convention assembled jan
uary l3, 1869, to urge legislation looking to the
educational, material and political interests Oh
the colored people Of the nation, deem that
they have at length arrived, in progress OF
their hopes in so far as the organic law OF the
republic is Concerned.
They recognize that the desired result in the
anticipated announcement of the ratification
of the Fifteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution, which forbids any abridgemcnt
of the right of suffrage on account of the race,
color or previous condition of any citizen Of
the United States. They feel that this amend-
ment should, in the estimation of colored men,
transcend in Importance even the revered
Declaration of our National independence, IN
asmuch as it is the practical affirmation Of
rights of which the other was but the theO-
retcal enunciatiOn; therefore has it been de-
termined that it is fitting to advise the general
assembly OF the colored people OF every state
and Territory throughout the length and
breadth of the land, whenever the said Fif-
teenth amendment shall have been officially
announced as ratified. In order to offer up
prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God. and
in all appropriate ways TO assure the world OF
our realization and appreciation OF the right
eous act of our fellow-countryme in consttu-
tionally securing to us that which has always
been our Just due, but miustly withheld.
