Duluth and her Canal.

CHICAGO, June 10.
The Duluth people, by vigorous Efforts
have completed their canal through Min.
nesota Point, and havCa channel sixteen
feet deep, in despite Of the injunction
granted by United States Judge Millen,
Of Topeka, Kansas, about the formal ser.
vice oi which there wassOme delay. The
canal has so lowered the water ut Su.
pGrior, the mouth of the st. Louis river,
that the boats which had run in there for
the past seventeen years, are now unable
to enter, owing, it Is believed, TO the in.
nuencG Of Jay Cooke and others. A let.
ter has been written by the United States
Attorney General requesting that the suit
shall bG discontinued, on Duluth giving
bonds TO cut u bulkhcad across one end Of
the bay, 30 that the st. Louis river water
will not flow into the canal. The Wis.
COnsin authorities object, on the ground
that such bulkhead would be unreliable
If built, and would cut Superior of from
the projected access by railroad to Min.
nesOta and Duluth, and that such bonds
would be valueless. The authorities will
still GndcavOr to have the Injunction
made permanent.

SOMEBODY'S BOY.


Is somebody's mother thinking
That somebody's boy gets tight"
While somebody's boy is drinking
Somewhere or other to-night2
Who was that somebody Juggling
Too heavy load to-day
OF brandy and rum, and hugging
The posts on the corner, eh?
Who is that handsome fellow,
The handsomest face we meet.
Who comes home so late and so mellow
He can scarcely keep his feetY
Who is that somebody reeling
First from the left to the right.
With empty pockets, yet feeling
As rich as Cresus to-nightY
All payements have grown unsteady;
They wave like a wind-blown sheet,
And have interfered already
With somebody's drunken feat"
And still to the world his drinking 2
Is neither here nor there;
But somebody's pa, I'm thinking.
Or sister or mother would care.
He'll wake tomorrow, its patent,
And he'll come down stairs all right,
And look almost like he hadn't
Been out ON u " tear = last night.
And somebody's mother and sister.
When told that brother gets =" tight"
Are almost inclined 70 blister
4 Your checks with their hands outright
But somebody's sins are wearing
The jewel of life away;
And somebody's boy, wayfaring,
Will die in the street some dayl

that occupied by James Buchanan in
1856. He was the fayorite Of Pennsyl-
vania; he secured her vote when no
other man could have donel il, and
brought the Democratic psrty into
power. The name Of Colonel Scott
awakens no resentments, arouses no
prejudice, aud stimulates no pas
sion of a personal or political char
acter. Although he has had but little
experience in the political field, his quail
ification for the Presidential Office will
not be disputed. His able, remarkable
and magnificent management of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad stamps
him as one of the great men Of the age
in which we live. In filing that respon-
sible place for many years, his attention
has necessarily been directed to compli-
Gated questions Of law and of political
questions Of law and Of political econo-
my, bearing upon its progress and pros
perity, that have made him familiar with
the wants and with the political resources
of the country. In his present great Of
fee he has left not stain or a reproach
upon his individual character His word
is as good as his bond, and his honesty
is proyerbial through Pennsylvania. He
is, par excellence, selfmade man. He
has reached his commanding position
as a capitalist and executive officer
solely by his own meritorious exertion.
He commenced his life upon the lowest
rounds of fortunes ladder, and by in
dustry, energy and native talent he
has reached the highest. Whatever may
be said of Edwin NJ. Stanton, he was a
good judge of men, and his selection of
Colonel Scott, in the most difficult and
trying part Of the war, as his Assistant
Secretary of War, indicates his high
sense of his fine and unequaled admins
trative talents. The ability which he
has showltiii his own business we would
like TO have exhibited at Washington
upon the larger theater of the United
States. We have every confidence that
Colonel Scott would cleanse the Augean
stables; that he would call around him
men of the right stamp as Cabinet ad-
visers, and be governed by sound eonsti-
tutional principles. The contrast be-
tween him and General Grant is i'm
measurable. A man engrossed with i'm
mense business cares since he arrived
at manhood, he has taken no part in
party politics; but we have confidence
that he sympathizes, thoroughly sympe-
thizes, with the movement to restore the
to its old Democratic, con
stitutional basis.
We have no feeling in this matter but
to secure victory for the friends of
constitutional principles; for it does
really seem that, unless we can beat
Grant in 1872, the cause of free govern
ment in the United States may be CON
sidered lost. To accomplish that object
there is no surrender of prejudice that
we would not be happy to make, and no
pride Of opinion that would stand for
in our way. Believing, as
things now stand, that Col. Thomas A.
Scott is incomparably the strongest man
to run against Grant, we pronounce for
him as our candidate for President Of
the United States.

Russia's Formidabie preparations.

The ,Czar has been occupied in re-
organizing his army, while all the world
has been looking at his neighbors fur
ther West, and now presents a view Of
the result, which is indeed formidable
The Russian army can now be relied
upon to turn out more than a million
and half Of men, fully armed, drilled
and equipped, with scores of Cossack
regiments in addition. Back Of this is
reserve of about a million Of men, who
may be called into the field in case Of
necessity; and, in fact, the Car has
solved the problem Of making for his
use a nation of soldiers in an incredibly
short time. The artillery, too, has been
augmented by a thousand pieces, and
every arm Of the service put in strong
condition. While this work has been
going on, Russia has continued its policy
Of absorbing the independent khanates
bordering on its territnry, and has added
millions to its population by extending
its boundaries. The quiet way in which
the Gar strengthens his empire, both
within and without is admirable to look
at from a distance, but the huge army
which he has now secured at his control
may be less pleasant for the considera-
ton Of his neighbors

who Shall be the Democratic Can
dfdate for President?

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
The movement lately made in Penn
sylvania in behalf Of Colonel Thomas A.
Scott as the Democratic candidate for
President Of the United States has at
tracted great attention, and is meeting
with remarkable favor all over the Union.
There is an impression rapidly forming
that Of all the men who have been named
as possible candidates, he is the most
available and the most likely OF any to
defeat General Grant at the election.
The adverse results Of the State elections
this year have rendered il entirely evi-
dent that unless the Democracy have
men who can obtain a large outside vote,
and also receive the cordial support Of
the organization, the chances Of beating
the bad man at the head Of affairs are
slight indeed. Nearly the entire South,
including all the old border slave States,
we can indeed carry for any fair man;
but, in addition, we must have some Of
the large Middle and Western States 10
succeed. Col. Scott is especially strong
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Nom
mated upon a judicious platform, we
have every assurance that he would
sweep them like a tornado. Who can
estimate the value Of q victory in Penn
syivania at the October election in lS722
Such an event would send a thrill Of JOY
from one end Of the land to the other
1t would Gil the Democratic heart with
hope and confidence, and bring to the
polls in the various States hundreds Of
thousands Of voters who under other
circumstances, would stay at home.
While it would thus stimulate the De
mocracy, it would, in corresponding
manner, bring gloom and dependency
upon the opposition, and would virtually
settle the November election. No oPtesi-.
dent Of the United States has ever been
elected without her vote. Tne position
Of Colonel Scott is very analogousto
