= On w ednesday of next week the
Governors of New England and the
Northwestern States will meet in CON
vention at Detroit to consider a very
great project-nothing less than the
policy of inducing Congress to aid in
the construction of a canal from the
Mississippi Valley around Niagara,
and thence by Lakes Ontario, Cham
plain, George and the Hudson River to
New York. 1t is indeed grand pro-
ject, and one which, both i'll cost and
effect, would put any internal improve
ment of any one nation of the globe
entirely in the shade Something of
this kind we must and will do very
shortly, the question being whether it
is wiser to do 80 in the way above
mentioned, or to make continuous ca
nails Of the Ohio and Upper Missis-
sippi, and run line of iron propellers
from the Gulf to New York This is
the question which the Governors will
attempt to decide.-[Timcs & Chron-

How to StOD 1t,

1t seems that Logan, in Hooking
County, (as we learn from the Logan
Republican, like most other towns in
these days, is infested with a class of
petty gamblers, thieves and drunkards.
A public meeting was held there few
evenings since for the purpose of
adopting some plan to stop this grow
ing evil,-an evil that is really becom
ing fearful throughout the whole coun-
try. This meeting seems to have been
called more especially for the purpose
of Kidding the town of"petty gamblers,
thieves, and troublesome characters"
The following remarks, made at the
meeting, are worthy of consideration
in every community:
"Capt. D. I. Cline spoke with great
feeling. He was for going to the root
of the great evil-the whisky shops =
If the meeting was called to suppress
those places where our boys are edu-
Gated in crime, he was with it; but-it
called for the purpose of mobing boys
who had already been ruined by these
dramshops, he was against it. S. H.
Bright thought there ought to be some
legislation to rid the town of habitual
loafers. Men engaged in honest la
Dor did not commit crimes He also
thought Imprisonment more effective
punishment than fining."

Miscellaneous Dispatches.
Domestic Notes.


NEW YORK, March Ex-Governor Lindsay,
of Alabama, arrived in this city yesterday from
Washington, where he called upon President
Grant, Senator Sumner and others, assuring
them that there was no truth in the statements
of the kuklux outrages in Alabama. He visits
the city TO look after the interests Of Alabama
bonds.
Reddy the Blacksmith was arrested aud locked
up yesterday for knocking down a conductor on
the Becker street railway.
The United States ship Shawmut, which
makes an official trial trip this week, will be
supplied with improved torpedo apparatus,
which fact leads many 10 believe that she may
be ordered TO join the Asatic feet under Rear
Admiral John Rodgers, whose squadron will
probably in a few weeks form an expedition TO
take the iutiatory steps to open the Corea
Straits to commerce, and to demand satisfaction
for the murder of the crew Of the American
schooner General Sherman, which ran ashore
on the peninsula in August, 1866. The vessels
to be employed will probably consist of the
flagship Colorado, firstrate, 46 guns; the Alas
Ia, third-rate, II guns; Benicia, third-rate, 10
guns and the tug BOAT Palos. Should the Shaw
nut sail next week, she would have ample time
to join the Asiatic squadron and participate in
the expedition.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY !

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
THE SENATE WAITING.
The senate is waiting TO hear from the house
on the kuklux investigation Such, at least,
was the aspect Of affairs in that body tonight.
There is more hope of bill fromIthe house than
of ever getting a vote on the Sherman resolu-
ton in the senate.
REVENUE REFORM"
The New Hampshire movement for "revenue
reform" in the house found but two opponents
who were ready to vote to table it. 1t is sgnif.
cant of what IS in store for the next session, or
in this if congress remains a few weeks longer.
large majority Of the house will demand a re-
visal of the tariff
MR.. SUMMERS GREAT EFFORT.
Mr.. Summers speech in the senate brought
out the largest and most brilliant audience of
the season. There has been nothing like it since
the impeachment trial. Ladies crowded the
cloak rooms and even the reporters gallery
When senator Sumner entered and took his seat
murmurs of applause rose from the galleries,
and all through his speech, when he made
good point, it was evident, from the subdued
them were the enthusiastic friends of the orator.
The speech is regarded, on all sides, as n great
one, and the best point in Mr.. Morton's reply
was that it should not have been made till the
report of the San Domingo commission was
made to congress.
THE HOUSE AND THE KUKLUX.
The house had very brief session to- day, and
evidently is waiting to get report from the
select committee on southern Outrages No at
tempt was made to instruct the speaker to an
nounce the committees, and the idea is aban-
doned till after the course of the house on the
kukluX bill is ascertained. Such a bill will be
reported tomorrow, and, if the opposition con-
sent, it will be taken up at once for debate and
amendment.
The democrats are caucusicg tonight in re-
gard to their course upon it, but some of their
most able men have said, in the course of the
day, that they should not resort to dilatory mo-
tons to prevent vote on the BILL if the MAORI
ty would allow large debate and freedom to Of
fer amendments. Mr. Shellabarger proposes to
give them as much time as they want. 1t is by
no means certain that the bill, as it will come
from the special committee, will pass. Its con-
sidered probable that several amendments will
be added 1t is certain that no extreme meas
ure can pass either house. SAM WELLER.

then to the other; the very children and women
kicked him back; he darted to the open place
where he had entered, poicem n and men re-

admission only and lie, nothing out Far along
the vista the hooking rumble of request re-
