"A writer in the Cincinnati Com
mercial of yesterday suggests a plan
for improving navigation on the
Ohio that strikes us as being the
most feasible one yet presented. He
would make Lake Erie the great
fountain head. This can be done,
he claims, by cutting canal on
Westfield, on Lake Erie, to Mayville
on Lake Chautauqua, a distance Of
a little more than ten miles. From
Lake Chautauqua to to the Ale
ghany river there is a natural chan
mel. By an artificial conduit from
Lake Erie to Lake Chautauqua, with
lack at the head of it to regulate
the necessary supply of water, navi-
cation could be kept open on the
Ohio from Pittsburg to Cairo during
the whole year. A canal ten miles
in length could be constructed in a
very short while, and the advantages
derived in one ssyear would undoub-
tedly pay the cost of digging it. We
are surprised that none of the wise
men clamoring for Congressional
appropriations to improve the Ohio
have not hit upon this plan before.
STATE Journal.
All of which is very nice on paper
and just as easy of accomplishment
as anything practicable could in that
way. But the State Journal man, as
well as the genius who suggested
the plan to the Commercial, would
be marvels of engineering skill i
they could successfully run theil
canal 700 feet up hiH, which they
would have to do to get the water
into Chautauqua Lake. The ''na
tural channel" from that lake to
the Allegheny river, is all wei
enough, and would do its part Of the
work, but the unnatural channel
from Lake Erie up to the Chautau-
qua, would be a little like the legen
dairy Sissyphus rolling the stone up
hill which always tumbIed back
Unfortunately, the suggestion is an
old exploded one, years ago, ano
owing to the backbone which ex-
tends across Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York, and divides the waters
of Lake Erie from those of the Ohio
Valley, cannot be made to work
All! we may be too fast-a tunnel
might do the work. We merely
make the suggestion that the State
Journal and the genius Of the Com
merciaJ may eliminate upon it. A
tunnel from Lake Erie under Lake
Chautauqua 700 feet, knock the bot
tom out of Chautauqau, then run in,
to that ''natural channel at the near.
est point, and the thing is did. A
tunnel is the thing, good sirs; let il
be tunnel

PLANTATION BITTBRE.
8.T.--186O---X.

This wonderful vegetable
restorative is the sheet-an-
chor of the feeble and de-
bilitated. As a tonic and
cordial for the aged and Ian
guild it has no equal among
stOmachics. AS a remedy for
the nervous weakness to
which women are especially
subject, it is superceding ev-
cry other stimulant. In all
climates, tropical, temperate
or frigid, it acts as a specific
in every species of disorder
which undermines the bodily
strength and breaks dOwnthe
animal spirits.

The ERIE RING GONE "WHERE THE
WooDBINE TwINETH. On Monday
last the last act in the downfall OF
theGing which has manipulated Erie
for the past three years, and virtually
stolen its income, its bonds and its
moneys and credits, was consumat-
ed in a mastery manner, and Jay
Gould & Co., driven from their
stronghold. A meeting of the direc-
tors was requested, in the usual way
but 40 notice was taken of the re-
quest by Jay Gould, the President,
when the Vice President was similar
ly requested and called the meeting.
Jay Gould did his utmost TO pre-
vent it, by filling the rooms with po-
lice, and stationing a sentry at the
door. But about noon Gems Jno A.
Dix, and G.. B. Mcclellan, with
other distinguished men gained en-
trance to the building and entered
the Directors apartment, where they
were joined by nine Of the old direc-
tors and the meeting was organized.
Jay Gould sent and ordered them to
disperse, but they remained and pro-
ceeded to elect new directors, who
afterwards choose Gen Dix, Presi-
dent, and 0. H. Archer, Vice Presi-
dent. The meeting then directed all
employees to disregard all orders of
the old officers and to pay no money
to them. After the meeting adjourn
ed, Gen. Dix, served notice upon
Gould, demanding a surrender of all
papers, DC, belonging to the road.
Gould resisted the service, but was
at last caught in a corner he had
not made, and duly served with the
notice. The offices were then taken
possession of by the new dynasty
and the evil genius of the Erie may
be regarded as smothered. The
downfall of Erie dates from the
downfall of Tammany, and is due to
the active efforts of Republicans, who
made the exposures, ferretted out
the guilty parties, and would not be
influenced by the gold of the ring to
suspend the course of justice.

The Committee to investigate the
sale of arms, is actively at work and
have invited Schurz to attend its
sittings and accord him the privilege
of asking such questions as he de-
sires. He has failed 20 develope
anything to prove the charge of sale
to French agents, except that a sale
was made to Remington the same
day the Department came into po-
session Of the knowledge that he
was acting for the French, but that
such knowledge did not reach it un-
til hours after the sale was consum-
mated. Immediately on receipt of
the knowledge orders were given to
sell no more arms to Remington.
But it is the facts that are wanted
now, if they are not the kind Schurz
and Sumner bargained for.

House. The Deficiency ApprOpria-
tiUn bill was taken up. Discussion
arose on the item appropriating one
million dollars for the expense of the !
United States Courts in investigating
and trying the Ku Klux. Sunset
Cox and Rainey (colored) had q
spirited tilt. "It was funny" says a
correspondent, "to see Cox arrsyed
against coiored member, losing his
temper and getting decidedly the
worst Of the discussion.
On Wednesday, 9th, a petition
from members of the Philosophical
Society of Philadelphia was present
ed3 asking congress to make an ap-
preparation to enable American as
tronomers to join those of other ma
tions in observing the transit of the
planet Venus across the suns disc
in December, 1S74.-During the
consideration of the Legislative ap-
preparation bill, Mr.. Logan said that
when the bill should get out Of the
committee of the whole, and before
the Senate, he would move to strike
out the appropriation of $4,000 to
| pay the Civil Service Commission,
and insert a provision repeating the
law under which the commission had
been created.
The session Of the House was re-
markable only in that nothing was
done.
On Thursday the Senate passed
bills for the erection of Government
buildings in st. Louis and Little
Rock-A resolution was adopted
instructing the committee on COM
merce to make thorough inquiry in
to the subject of immigration the
treatment of immigrants after their
arrival in this country-Mr. Car
penter offered an amendment to the
Legislative Appropriation bill to re-
peal all laws or parts of laws under
which the present Civil Service Com
mission was appointed by the Presi-
dent. On motion of Mr.. TrumbuIl,
the amendment was laid on the table.
In the House, Mr.. Klllinger pre-
sented a remonstrance from SOC
workingmen of Schuylkill county
Pennsylvania, against the reduction
of duties on lead and coal. The

passed--0ther bills and subjects
| were considered without result.

tues of Jonathan Trumbull and

sented to the United States, and

ate addresses being made by Sen

in talking about Civil Service Reform
Adjourned till Monday.
In the House, a bill was passed
authorizing the Secretary of the In
terror to negotiate with the Ute
Indians of Colorado for the ex-
tinguishment of their right to the
south part of their reservation. Mr..
Shank explained that the reserva-
ton contained fourteen million acres
including valuable mineral lands,
while the Indians only numbered
four thousand. 1t was desirable to
have the title putin the Government
so that the mining interests there
might be developed-Another bill
was passed for the payment of $1OC
bounty to soldiers, widows or thei1
orphans, who were mustered into
service prior to the 22d of July,
1851, up to which time no bounties

" enticed into the woods, outraged, murdered,
and then her body covered over with brush to

burning brush and charred remains was made

man named Connell as the perpetrator of the
deed, as he had disappeared after its discov-

assigned.
