ton to reach salt water. Her latest project is
to build canal from the Tennessee River 10
to the Georgia seaboard. The restlessness Of
'the future great city," and Its desire to un-

to the Democracy.

The New York Tribune says: "Tke aiacrity
with which the French have paid up The whole
of the indemnity due on or before the first Of
May, 1872, is explained by our Berlin cores
