RIVER AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.

In its specific objection to the rlver and
harbor bill, that the appropriation to I'M
prove the Housatonic river, in the State
of Connecticut, the Chicago Tribune is
probably right, but in its general assault
the South and West will feel that they are
not justly dealt with II appropriations
for harbors and rivers are TO enc now, we
shall have just cause to complain that the
government has pursued the policy OF I'M
provement until the seacoast Of the North
east and the lake shores Of the West have
been accommodated, and now il re-
trenches when the seacOastS and the river
shores of the South are demanding their
pro rata of national expenditures.
The specific point made by the Tribune
is. tina: the sum of four hundred and odd
thousands of dollars is to be expended
to improve the Housatonic river, which is
only navigable for two hours ont OF the
twenty-four for nine miles. It will be
perceived that this is a very weak point
in the appropriation bill, for Il nine miles
of an occasionally navigable river can call
for an appropriation approaching TO half
a million Of dollars, what ought the
Mississippi, with It's nineteen thousand
miles Of navigation, to demand? A little
multiplication on this subject Will aston
ish the lover Of figures. And yet, all the
money that Congress proposes TO appro-
pirate for our benefit is less than the
amour. that is asked for by the Housa-
tonic, with It's nine miles OF semi-occa-
sional navigability.
If the 1'r1},.ie had confined its objec-
tons 70 the specific object Q. It's attack,
or if it had even gone further and struck
at these improper and absurd local ap-
preparations wherever they exist, j: would
probably have enlisted or appreciation;
but when it deprecates the entire system

sent to admi: that the theory may be cor
rect. but It has been disused so long for
| the benefit Of others that we must INSIST
on its disuse for awhile longer until Jus
tice is done to Us. The principle Of im-
| proving halbors and rivers has been ap-
proved by every party IL tie United
States, and although The Democrats
fought il a: che time on the stump as w
constitutional. they never voted against
it as party And now it has come 20 be
considered a necessity. and We shall in
sist on its application until the South has
been provided with benefits commensur-
ate with her requirements. b.: in max,
ing this advocacy the proper discrimina'
tons must bee used, so that the liberia

BOUNTY THAT IS SINGULAR.

How circumstances alter cases IS
curiously exhibited IN Two facts Ct
recent occurrence. Al actor CT some
local celebrity died in New York,
and application was made to the
preacher Of an aristocratic church to
attend to the funeral ceremonies. The
application was refused, the exalted di-
vine assuming that his church would not
desecrate its service by nlin:stering at the
funeral Of an actor. He supplemented
his refusal with the remark that probably
the rites of burial nigh. be administered
bv the clergyman of the Little church
around the corner" Thither the friends
of the deceased comedian repaired, and,
sure enough, found that spiritual assist
ance which they were il search OF. 1t
was a sorrowful act throughout, and
might have passed away as thousands OF
such acts do, if the ever hungry public
had not been in want Of a sensation. The
circumstance was reported as an item and
| commented On in an editorial by the
| papers, and the matter fell into Guietude
for a day. The item, however, Went on
| its wav. ard wherever It was read it stirred
the Indignation Of the people. Then the
theatrical profession made present to
the Little church around the corner,
and organized benefit for the family OF
the actor. Still The sensation increased
and benefits were originated for the profit
of the Little church around the corner
until now the whole country is engaged il
the business Of helping the family OF the
actor and the little church around the
corner" Song, speech and WI are point
ing the moral % the fact that we al @.
us turn away angels unawares.
A newspaper in New York possessed a
renorter who was hard up for an item
He entered the house Of a poor German
family in the city, where he found
mother without money and children with
out food One OF the children was I
cripple. The reporter, as in duty bound
wrote thrilling description OF the miser.
he had seen and invoked the charity o
the public. Subscriptions have beel
pouring in on this German family eve
since, and the probability is that tn
mother without money will soon hav'
more of it than she will take care OF.
These two cases have been wonderful.
altered by circumstances over which the.
had no control. If the original applica
ton to bury the actor had been made t
the "little church around the corner"
would have been attended to, and nothin!

AN OUTBREAK OF BOURBONIsM.

A threatening eruption has made its
appearance in Louisville, Kentucky, where
there were enough of the same class OF
evils before. 1t is called the Ledger, and
disseminates unadulterated bourbonism,
refusing to learn or to forget anything.
It is an unmitigated Democratic organ,
edited with some reasonable ability as to
rhetoric, but stuffed with the ideas that
partake of the sage and tansy OF the olden
time. Louisville can afford to get nd OF
this disease as speedily as possible, tor 1t
will be burthen upon her so long as 1t
| remains.
One of the first duties Of tie Le1ger is
| to preach the old gospel OF unrecon-
structed democracy. It is to deny all
things that have been done, and to affirm
that the success of its party will produce
a reversal of the settlements that have
been accepted for two years. The Lefger
was started by the Democrats because
they could not accept the sensible con-
illusions of the Louisville Co,rjer,Jo'Undl
as to the fixed right Of the colored people
to vote and give evidence in courts Of JUS
tice. In fact, it is the organ Of a reac-
tionary party that seeks to lead the coun-
try back into the depths ont Of which il
has emerged.
Considered from political standpoint
the appearance of the Ledger is pronlis
ing event to the Republican party. Il
proves what we have constantly con
tended for-that the Democratic party
is really reactionary. 1t desires to null
lily the amendments and 70 overthrow
rights that have been granted, accepted
recognized and used. But then the part.
has not been loud-mouthed about TIL
programme. 1t has rather exercised
stratagem, seeking first to win victor.
before it proclaimed the reduction OF tn
negro to an inferior condition, as its chic
destiny. This Louisville organ. however
{ will give voice. 1t was started to de
nounce suffrage and the right to give ties

more would have been thought OF 1t.
Now, however, it will be loaded down
out Of all proportion with money, and IT'S
pastor may be tempted, in his good for
tune, to depart from the beauty OF hoh-
ness" by claiming that all this was his
work, when the truth is the most OF his
luck (this is an i'll word to use in this
connection, but it is a fit and true one)
came to him as ON exhibition OF public
disapprobation toward his aristocratlc
neighbor. And in regard to the German
family, if the reporter had not stumbled
into that house, but had gone into thou
sands OF others equally without money
and without food, the charity which his
appeal invoked would in all probability
have gone in another direction, and left
the widow and her children to exc out an
existence as best they might. Is there any
providence in these things? If there is.
why does it fall in such heavy fakes on
some and in such poverty on others?

SHENANDOAH CLAIMS.

In connection with the discussion be-
fore the joint commission Of English and
American diplomatists the Alabama claims
will be supplemented with question
whether the damages done by the Florida
and the Shenandoah are to be paid for.
This distinction between the damages in
tiicted by the Alabama and those inflicted
by the Shenandoah are that the former
escaped from an English port and at once
assumed the character Of q cruiser, while
the latter only became a cruiser after she
had made g run into a confederate port.
The Shenandoah and the Florida were
both English built vessels and they were
built as cruisers, but they held to the
technical law and only put on their ar
NOR after they had run the blockade with
valuable cargoes. The Alabama was an
English built vessel, built for cruiser,
and took to her trade as soon as she was
out of British jurisdiction. 1t Will come
up before the joint commission whether
England is responsible for what the
Shenandoah did, Englishmen soy that
if Great Britain is responsible for what
the Shenandoah did after she had entered
a confederate port and changed her mer-
camille mission for a warliEe outfit, then
the United States is responsible 10 Prus-
STA for all the damage the seven hundred
thousand rifles that we sold to France did
to the German soldiers. These guns were
harmless merchandise until they landed
in France The Shenandoah was an in
nocent merchantmen until she arrived IN
the Confederacy. Both changed their
natures after their arrival IN tor-
eign State, and the liability Of one is
the liability Of the other. The English
will have to recollect, however, that the
Shenandoah was built for a specific pur-
pose, and only adopted a run to accom-
plish If. Our arms were not destined
when they We're made.

timony. It's mission is to defeat the cltl-
zenship, in Kentucky, Of colored people.
Its ambition is to be the Democratic
organ of white mans country. There
was no other reason in the world that
could have induced its commencement,
and Kentucky will not consent that it
shall be representative press unless it
follows this role. 1t lacks the ability to do
this thing adroitly, or probably to oppose
negro suffrage adroitly would not salt the
instincts and demands Of those who wish
to be heard on this subject through an
organ. 1t, therefore, is expected to clamor
for white men in loud and excited man
ner. And this clamor is just the ammn-
milton which the Republican party most
needs now in order to substantiate what
it has constantly declared, that the De-
mocracy could not be trusted to respect
rights which it would cost q revolution
to overthrow So the Ledger will suit us

nobler standpoint as we do, and rejecting
the weapons that are furnished for our
fight. If we are allowed SO to do, this out
break of printed bourhonism in Kentucky
is sad spectacle. Its effect must be to
foster bad blood and lawless acts, for no
oracle can teach men that they are i'm
posed upon without suggesting to them
the duty to strike back. 1t must unsettle
the public mind, and create uneasiness IN
the breasts of those who only desire to
live where the condition OF society is
peaceful. All values will depreciate.
Neighboring communities will suffer from
the lawlessness which is so easy to extend
itself. Men will grow up with feuds to
arrange in bloody encounters. The pub
lie mind throughout the country will be
corrupted by discussing, from different
standpoints. the issues of violence. In
fact, there is not a sensible purpose to
serve its own behalf by this Louisville
outburst of bourbonism. We have had
trouble enough in that quarter, and now
to be threatened with its renewal is dis

picked up beauty Of gem, he promptly
offered his hand in marriage, and vows he
will introduce his wife to his gentle
