The New York Herald advises the
Southern Democrats that if they will follow
the example of their Northern allies and
accept the situation like men, they may
have some chance in 1872 to elect their
President. The Herald is willing to help
them through if they can get their own
consent to act like reasonable people.
When the Herald accomplishes this revo-
luton and converts the Southern Demo-
GRAFT to be reasonable man about s.nic-
ger rights, " we shall then consider that it
would be well to hire its managing editor
to stop the Bonnet Care crevasse. The
latter is feasible job compared to the
former

THE DRAINAGE ORDINANCE,

Since the drainage ordinance is an
accepted fact, and since the company is
already moving to commence its appointed
work, it is useless to be decrying an i'm
provement that promises vast public
benefits on mere superstition that the
charges are too high. The work, it must
be remembered, is divided into two dis
tinct engagements. First, that of ditch
ing, and secondly, that of leveeing.
Where there is no levee to be built the
cost of excavating the bitches is to be
fifty cents per cubic yard, the city reserv-
ing the right to sell the dirt. As this
earth is worth ten cents per cubic yard,
that being the load of dirt cart, it win
be seen that the cost will thus be 1sduced
to forty cents per yard, which is certainly
reasonable enough. Where the levee is
to be built the cost is fixed at one dollar
per cubic yard, which involves the con-
struction Of canal and the erection of a
levee that will serve the purposes of
protection bulwark and handsome road.
Another advantage is that the company
is already prepared with proper dredging
machines to commence work Immediately,
and its efforts below the city attest its
ability to do the business in workman
like manner. Still another benefit is that
the company has voluntarily impaired its
right to force the city to terms by enter
ing into this contract, whereby it ac-
knowledges that the corporation is still
free to make its own bargains. But the
greatest benefit that we see in the arrange
ment is the prospect of rapid drainage
and development of the rear of the city.
With large canals crossing the swamp
from the high lands in front to the lake
in the rear, the ground will not only be
drained, but it will be raised, for it is
well known fact that where good drainage
exists in the rear Of the city, there the
land has raised several inches. As the
soil dries and becomes susceptible to use
the weeds and swamp grasses will
disappear, and the public health will
De greatly improved, so that in few
years, instead of having waste of stagnant
swamp water in the rear of the town, we
may hope to have thousands of acres re-
covered to gardening and building pur-
poses Every foot Of laud between the
river and the lake ought to be redeemed

There is large hope for Louisville, Ken
lucky, now that she is disabusing herself
of Democracy by talking about railroads
an' influential connections When a
co,s',.,~ atty passes into this kind of de-
basi1s society the leaven of republicanism
is working to accomplish tremendous
upheaval. Once arouse a body of men
from the habit of wearing out their
clothes loafrg around the corner grocery,
and the Democratic spirit will depart out
Of them in short order. Louisville has
raised her voice in demand for railroad
from Virginia to st. Louis, running in OPP
position to the Baltimore and Ohio line.
She solicits an air line route to Atlanta
and Savannah. 1t is confessed that there
are. about forty thousand carpet-baggers
doing business in Louisville, which prob
ably accounts for the change of sentiment
that forgets old rye and asks for quick
lines of travel. Such things are not new
to US.

Nothing can exceed the sadness with
which our editorial soul is clothed when
We read in the Louisville C0uier-Journal
the fearful saying that the Mobile
Register is a :'sickly looking little sheet,
without influence or patronage, feeble in
its ability, and decrepit in its aspect,
feeding the radicals with its silly spurts
of politacn lhodomontade." 1t is well
known that the Courier-.Journal was
mainly instrumental in reducing the
Register to its present condition, and this
is why our sympathy oozes out with SO
much violence when we see these hard
names applied to a too faithful follower.
John Forsyth deserves better treatment
from the organ that forced him to trail his
flag insthe dust four years ago, than to be
abused for not trailing it again at the
same bidding. Let the Courier-Jownas
attend to theslocal disease known as the
Ledger, and leave the Register to recover
from its political and financial bank
ruptcy.

THE NORTHWESTERN BOUNDARY.

One of the most important questions
connected with the settlement of differ
ences between England and this country
will be the northwestern boundary. This
has been source of the most acrimonious
contest between the two countries, and on
two occasions nearly brought them from
words to blows. 1t was happily averted,
and now will most probably be adjusted
by the joint commission now sitting in
Washington. It is the oldest matter in
dispute, and involves the jurisdiction of a
great extent of country lying between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific Ocean,
the Columbia river and latitude 81 degrees
40 minutes north, the whole of what is now
Washington Territory and the greater
portion of British Columbia, and more
recently the possession of a group of
islands in the Gulf Of Georgia, the most
important of which, San Juan, is only
nineteen miles long and seven wide. For
over fifty years this has been a vexed and
unsettled matter in dispute, and it is
within the remembrance of some of our
citizens that during the Tyler administra-
ton the whole country was agitated with
these emphatic words: FIFTY -four, forty,
or fight" The difficulty at that time
ended by determination on the part of
many of our Western people to secure the
disputed territory by emigration and set
Element The earnest opposition of the two
Missouri Senator'S. Messrs. Linn and
Benton, prevented the settlement of the
question in 1923. according to the
wishes of the Hudson Bay Company,
backed by the English government, which
was to make the Columbia river the divid-
ing line. The moral effect of this oppo-
sltion, sustained as it was by the con-
stltuency of these Senators, was to defeat
all negotiations in relation to the matter,
and foster the American colony, then just
started, al the mouth of the Columbia
rlver> and Oregon was saved to the United
States. For the settlement of that COLONY.
Its continuance and ultimate success.
we are indebted to the arduous
labors of one of our missionaries. who.
in the year 1841, made a tedious and
perilous journey across the Rocky moun-
tains, occupying some four months after
engaging number of Western emiorants
to return with him to the Willamette
valley and the mouth of Columbia river
came to. Washington and, by persistent
efforts, changed the design of the Tyler
administration of abandoning that por-
ton of the country to the Hudson's Bay
Company. This missionary overheard
the plot Of this company in one Of their
stations not far from the. columbia river
to seize and take POSES HON Of that
now beautiful Northwestern territory,
including Oregon, and as far south |

The alarming sense of apprehension
which exists in the Democratic ranks that
President Grant will not be the Republican
nominee for reelection next year ought to
be moderated in some degree, in order to
allow hard-working and honest Democrats
to catch at least forty winks now and
then. Not only is the opposition itself
disconsolate at the prospect of seeing
Grant defeated, but even such Republican
organs as the New York Sun and the Mo-
bile Register are loud in their prophecy
that the President will be deserted by his
friends in favor of some more available
man. The Democrats pretend that their
grief at Grants supposed defeat arises
from his weakness, as they seem to think
that their game might be won with ease if
lie was the Republican nominee. This is
one of the silly tricks that was fashionable
to play years ago, when both parties took
particular pains to disparage the strongest
man Of the opposition. Every party has
resOrted to this practice at times, by at
tempting to select the candidate of its OPP
ponents, by suggesting that this man
would be available and this man would
not be.
As the Republican party sees through
this maneuver of Tammany Hall in this
case, it is prepared to nominate General
Grant, without any reference to the desires
of the Democracy. In fact, as if only to
be little obstinate and plucky, perhaps
the very interference Of the Democracy in
our affairs may wed us the more closely to
the President that the Democrats seem to
hate the most If it does, who can the
Democrats blame but themselves?

When Senator Morton makes speech
to his constituents and explains to them
that there is continued necessity for the
prevalence of Republican rule in the
country in order to extirpate the outlawry
and violence which exist in the South,
the answer should make us look about us
to correct the evil which one of the
greatest men of the nation lays at our
doors. Senator Morton does not make
this charge lightly, neither do his con-
stituents in the West accept it lightly,
but both parties arrive at sorrowful con-
clusion with the simple purpose to strive
to correct terrible disease. The North
does not complain that the South is law
less because we shoot and cut one another,
for these things are done in the North;
but the judgment against US is predicated
on different suggestion, that men are
cut and shot in the South for no other
reason than that they are Union men who
declare their opinions openly, or that they
are colored people who have been emanci-
pated without being consulted. When
we learn how to tolerate absolute free
dom of political opinion, and consider all
men as entitled to the same rights, with
out regard to their color, then Congress
will have no more to say about shooting
scrape in Louisiana than it will have to
say about o similar affair in Maine. But
so long as we continue to maltreat people
simply because of their opinions on SUBJ
ject that the country indorses, so long
shall We have such men as Morton speak
ing to applauding audiences in Indiana
about the best way to correct the evil
We can make our bed in this case, but as
we make it so must We sleep in it. If we
can not restrain our hates and prejudices
against those who are under the protec-
lion of the nation, then it is manifest that
our passions are diseased and ought to be
When We learn how to keep
he peace as it is kept elsewhere. there
will be no excuse for strangers to keep it
or us.
