Unsatisfactory as oil att mpts at improving the
navigation of the lower Mississippi have always
been, perhaps their most conspicuous failure has
been at the bar below New-Orleans. 1t is pointed
out by The Price Current that historical work
printed in 1871 mentions that the water on the bar
was IA feet and after a century and half of con-
slant changes in the shape and location Of the bar,
and much work in dredging it, 1t Is now, as then,
generally about IA feet except while the dredging
machines are actually at work. A recent report of
the United States Engineer in charge of operations
there furnishes curious instance of their futiity.
During several months Of labor channel had been
cut with minimum depth Of 18i feet A stam
came on and in few hours entirely filled up this
channel; but subsequent survey showed that during
the same storm an unusual rush of water had torn
out new channel in another locality, quite as deep
and as navgable as the constructed by dredging
had ever been. In view Of such results the news
paper suggests that the foreign commerce of the
Mississippi requires permanent outlet in the form
of ship canal between Fort st. Philip and the Gulf
of Mexico, and urges the consideration of such a
project on the representatives of Louisiana at the
Commercial Convention now IN session In Baltimore

Mr.. seward ON His TrayeIa.

Our ex-Secretary of State is fairly entitled
to be called ''The Great American Traveller. +"
For one Of his age it is a marvel to see him
circulate over thousands of miles none the
worse for the fatigues Of the journey. If the
purchase of Alaska had not already made the
irrepressible Seward immortal his grand tour
de monde would have done it, We have fol-
lowed his progress through the far East with a
surprise akin to admiration. We found him in
China hobnobbng with the Son of the Moon
and many minor consultations. Scarcely had
we recovered from our wonder than we dis
cover him in Japan, just engaged in friendly
chat with the Tycoon, and now we are RECALLED
with the news that he has been toasted
and toasted by the Anglo-Indians. We publish
to-day an interesting letter from Bombay an
nouncing Mr. Stewards arrival and his
reception by the Governor General Of
India. The Byculla Club in Bombay gave q
grand dinner in commemoration of his visit,
aud the banquet is described as very brilliant
affair. Well might the chairman of the occa-
sion say, as he did, that septuagenarian
making the tour of Asia was rare phenome-
non. The response of Mr.. Seward was in his
usual vein-that is to say, very sensible one.
He told the Anglo-Indians many flattering
things-and who would not on such an occa-
sion 2-and made some happy illusions as
regards the relations between England, India
and the United States.

GOVERNOR SoorT, OF SouTn CAROLINA,
has taken the right method to dispense the Ku
Klux. He offers reward for the arrest and
conviction of any Of them. If anything will
break up these midnight marauders and show
us whether they are myths or murderers,
money compensation will probably do it, 1t
is well enough to talk Of preliminary procla-
nations and the operations Of military law,
but a chance to earn a few crisp Treasury
notes by capturing these redoubtable troopers
will nerve the carpet-baggers and the darkies
to such unrelenting war upon them that the
Ku Klux will probably find their raids poor
fun. Human natur is not skeery of stamps,
said the lamented Snowman, and we guess
stamps will infuse considerable courage into
carpet-bag human nature

Poor ERRAro VICTOR HUGO! After
long exile, after such grand achievements in
literature, after his triumphal return on the
fall Of the empire, to be hunted down by his
own Infatuated countrymen, to be expelled from
his place of refuge and sent forth homeless
wanderer in the world, can there be sadder
fate for one of his frame Of mind? With
the death OF son, poor old man, what
remnant Of common sense he had left him, and
ever since the world has been amused by
those red-aaming manifestoes, the offspring
Of his heated brain. Still we look upon
the action OF the Belgian government as
tyrannical in the extreme. II was not
actuated by sense Of justice, but by q
sense Of iear-fear that the fugitive Com
munists might find congenial field for the
propagation Of their theories among the work
ingmen Of Belgium. The same motive has
probably actuated the Italian government in
ordering the arrest OF the Parisians who may
enter Italy.

social" The atrocities of the Paris Commune
have resulted in a French popular reaction, in
which Louis Napoleon appears as an exiled
public benefactor, and the Bourbons as the
guarantees Of law, order, religion, property
and the family altar.
Great too, will be the political reaction
among the American people Of our States
known as the loyal States from these Southern
confederacy harangues of JEFF Davis of 1871.
A few days ago, from the discussions and
divisions in the republican party, from what
appeared to be the needless Ku Klux policy of
General Grant, supported by Congress, and
from the admirable movements Of the North
ern democracy in the recognition of the ''fxed
facts imprinted upon the constitution by the
ENABLED hand of war, there appeared to be
fine prospect for the democracy, even in
1872, under such standard bearer as Gen
eral Sherman. But what is the prospect
now? From present appearances JEFF Davis
has already secured the reelection of General
Grant, in demolishing all side issues and in
making the republican party unit on the is
as ga failure" by the Democratic Convention
of 1864 ruined at once the chances of General
Mcclellan, the declaration of 1868, that the re-
construction measures of Congress were
Revolutionary, null and void, killed off Sey-
mour in Tammany Hall with his nomination
but JEFF Davis as his bold pronunciamentoes
now appear, has defeated the democratic party
a year in advance even of its Presidential Con-
vention.
His speech at Atlanta, of which we have
given a special and full report by careful
reporter, is worth a million of commonplace
stump speeches to the republicans, and has
fallen like wet blanket upon the Northern
democracy. But bad for them as is this mis-
chevous claptrap and twaddle of Davis, its
enthusiastic reception by his admiring assem-
blage is worse. From this reception, and from
other receptions given to the hero of their
Southern confederacy, it is apparent that
instead Of repelling him as the author of their
greatest misfortunes, they hail him still as
their political leader and apostle He does
not accept the situation, and they do not
acCcPt ~. lie SuoulitS to power WHICH ne
cannot resist; but he holds fast to his con-
federacy principles, and he bides his time;
and 80 do his confederates in the war, as far
as he has sounded them. He has pronounced
against fusion of the Southern with the
Northern democracy on their new departure;
and there will be no fusion In the excess of
his rage against the party in power he has
been doing more for General Grants election
than all his legions of office holders. He has
declared that the Vend6me Column of the
republican party must be pulled down and all
its works. and so, in shaping the battle of
1872 on the issues of the war, he and his
Southern followers clear the track for General
Grant as the Paris Commune has cleared the
way for the Bourbons or the Bonapartists.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE ORGANIZATION for the
determination Of all carpet-baggers and scala
wags is said to be In process Of formation
down South. II is different from the Ku Klux

ationaI Debt Statements and Surpius
Gold In the Treasury.


Mr.. Boutwell, ought to be the happiest OF
finance ministers. The revenue pours in like
a food tide all the time, so that the Treasury
remains full, and the only trouble he has is in
knowing how to use the money. The enor-
nous taxation imposed upon the people and
the wonderful resources of the country give
him surplus fund of over hundred millions
of dollars all the time. We have said repeat
edly that this money ought to be used in liqui-.
dating the debt, and thus save six millions or
more year to the country but Mr.. Boutwell,
prefers, like miscr, to hug his money bags.
He lets out every month, as we see by the
Treasury orders from Washington, to the
Treasurer in New York few millions Of gold.

MURRAY one of the thieves who broke into
the Central Park Bank in broad daylight in
April last, knocked down the cashier and
robbed the safe, was sentenced yesterday to
twenty years at hard labor in the State
Prison. This very effectually relieves the
public mind Of any dread Of Murray and re-
duces the dangerous classes of our city by one
quite as cffectually as hanging.

THE MORSE STATUE IN CENTRAL PARK is to
be unveiled on the 10th inst. The programme
for the occasion has just been made public.
1t will be the most pleasing ovation ever made
to living man, for the venerable gentleman in
whose honor II is erected still lives, and will
be presented in person to the people on that
occasion. Monuments to living men, as Mr..
Tweed remarked recently, are out of the usual
order of things, but If there is man living to
whom such rare honor justly belongs it is GER
tainly Professor Morse.

THE CAR AND SULTAN, says our despatch
from Constantinope, overwhem each other
with tokens of affection. What means this
rapprochenaent between Russia and Turkey |?
1t means that England has brought herself into
bad repute with her friends by her timorous
action in the London Conference that she is
no longer the ally of Turkey, or, rather, that
Turkey, seeing the unpro6tableness of her alli-
ance, will have nothing more to do with Eng
land. Russia and Turkey are now evidently try
ing to make up their ancient quarrel Turkey is
probably sincere; but what the secret designs
of Russia may be-for it is in keeping with the
Machiavelian policy of Russia to have some
secret design in the background-no one can
tell. 1t may be to separate Turkey entirely
from her former allies, to lul her into fancied
security, and then carry ont her plans of ag-
grandizement; or it may be-well, gui gicra

The Ohio Democratic state Convention.

The Ohio Democratic State Convention as
sembles in Columbus to-day. There is some
little rivalry in regard to the nominee for
Governor; but the latest indications are that
General George W. McCook-who, like Cen
eral McCandless, the democratic standard
bearer in Pennsylvania has a splendid war
record-will receive the nomination. The
democracy of Ohio will probably follow the
example of their brethren of the keystone
State, and bring out men to lead them in the
coming fall campaign against whom no bemish
of rebel sympathy can be brought, aud in
favor Of whom everything that should be found
noble and magnanimous in victorious soldier
can be urged. 1t is not unlikely that the new
departure will be endorsed to the extent found
in the Pennsylvania democratic platform. In
that case the chances for the democracy carry
ing Ohio next October will certainly be very
favorable. Last year the State gave about
fourteen thousand majority for the republican
Secretary of State. 1t is reported that the re-
publican reform movement in Ohio is gather
ing strength, and that it will have consider
able induenc e in swinging the State into the
democratic line. Much depends, however,
upon the nominations to be made and the plat
form to be adopted to-day.

The state Of Paris.

Order is being restored in Paris and affairs
are settling down into peaceful condition.
Martial law is established, and, according to
the plan prepared by Marshal MacMahon, the
city is divided into four military commands,
with Generals Vinoy, Ladmirault, Douay and
Cissey at the head of each. The civil power.
for the time being, is transferred to the mill
tary, and the city is closely watched by the
soldiers. No one is permitted to leave or en-
ter without the necessary pass from the Com
mander-in-Chief. The greatest precautions
are observed, and yet attempts at assassina-
ton and arson are many by portion of the
inhabitants, who still possess the bloody
instincts which the last days of the Commune
afforded SO excellent chance to crafty The
most charitable construction to place on the
acts of these wretcbes is that they are crazy
crazy from the intoxication of crime in which
they have indulged The executions of CAP
tured insurgents still continue, and arrests
are numerous. We learn by cable that Felix
Pyat has made good his escape, and that
Henri Rochefort has been condemned to die.
Possibly by this time he is dead Paris can
well afford to lose M. Rochefort, and, in fact,
all of the tribe of which the editor of the
Laasterne formed part AS an evidence of
the determination with which the authorities
intend to enforce punishment on the insur-
gents, the mitrailleuse is to be used in future
in case of wholesale executions. This an
nouncement is terrible, but the punishment
dwindles into insignifcance when compared
with the dreadful atrocities which marked the
last hours of the Commune.

Chicago and Peoria The central point is
BURLINGTON, on the Mississippi. 1t
traverses Illinois and the whole breadth
of Southern Iowa. Near the Missouri,
its trunk forks into three branches, for it
has three western termin.
Its northern terminus is Council Bluffs,
where, crossing to Omaha, it connects
with the Union Pacific for all places on
the intra continental and Pacific slopes.
Over land travel and traffic choose this re-
liable route more and more.
Its next terminus is Lincoln, the capt
tai of Nebraska, fifty-five miles west of
the Missouri at Plattsmouth. This is the
only direct avenue to the South Platte
country, where the sales of railroad land
last season rose TO half a million
It's third terminus Is at Hamburg, and
Nebraska City. At Hamburg, it makes
connections twice day, for st. Joseph,
Leavenworth, Kansas City, and the whole
Southwest.
In journeying then, from the East to
Kansas, via Burlington, you enjoy advan-
tages you can secure on no other line.
You both pass over road second to no
other in speed, safety, or any Pullman
luxury of modern travel; and while on
your way, survey the garden of Illinois

The columns of the Democrat are so

forth an expression from its propri-
escrs, and a notice from the press gen
orally; We have therefore thought if it
would he any relief to our neighbor to get
rid Of few of these much to be dreaded
legal notices we would propose to publish
a few of them, as we desire about one
column more of paying advertisements.
That we are in earnest and desire to take
no advantage of any one, we will not hest
tate to publish our terms and strictly adj
here to them if payment be made when
the property is sold. All legal adver-
tisements and Sheriff sales will be inserted
three times in the REPUBLICAN at s. per
square, which will in ordinary Sheriff
sales and notices amount to from 81 to
%. We make this proposition with but
little expectation of any patronage from
this source, yet art unwilling to stand
and look on without announcing our will
iingness to save dollar or two for the
debtor and at the same time put a few in
our own pocket, when we can return sn
