JAMES RIVER AID KANAwHA
CANAL

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says, under date of last
Friday: 1.-THE delegation who saw the
President to-day in behalf Of q policy
of Government aid to complete the
James River and Kanawhs canal are
hopeful that the President will recon-
mend it in general and special message
to Congress. When finished, it will
give q continuous water line from the
Chesapeake bay to the Mississippi and
it's tributaries. A bill was intoduced at
the last session Of Congress BY Nj. Ste.
venson, of Ohio, providing for the con-
struction and management Of this canal
by Commissioners to be appointed, one
each by the States Of Iowa, Missouri
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and
MARYLAND, with aid from the Federal
Treasury, and providing. also, for ces-
sion by Virginia and West Virginia Of
their rights and property in the canal
as far as completed A bill to the same
purpose has also been drafted by an
officer Of the United States Engineer
Bureau, who lately surveyed the route
of the proposed extension Of the canal

BY every consideration Of consistency

10 continue TO act together. The ns-
cessity for'reform is likely to increase
instead OF to diminish. The advocates
OF Capitalization are likely to become
more audacious than ever in their
attacks upon local self-governnent.
The exactions of combined wealth and
the corrupt use of money in elections
are likely to become established
ussges, if not speedily rebuked.-1t is

I'VE say, then, to every friend Of re-

There is no 8 ate in the union that
offers greater inducements for capital
than does West Virginia; especially is
such the case with the oil regions Of
this State, the development of which is
but in it's infancy. The cost Of testing
territory here, as compared with the
deep territory of Pennsylvania, is inslg-
nificant, and the oil when obtained I'VE

rom two to three times per barrel the
value OF the oil produced there Aside
from the oil business our hills and
mountains are burdened with mineral
wealth, and only await the touch OF
capital 10 bring them into the market
at lair and remunerative profits. The
reward that awaits those who come
here with means to develop our mineral
wealth ia certainly very promising, and
we trust az we have reason to believe,
the day is not far distant when capital
will find its way here and products OF

One Of the consultations OF defeat is
that the Democrats can lock on with
indifference and complacencr at the
fierce struggle that has already begun
between the Republicans who are In
office and want to stay in, and the Re
publicans who are out but want to get
IN. Indications are already apparent
that President GRANT will have a good
deal of trouble in satisfying the de
mands OF his henchmen and that he is
not likely to enjoy indolent ease for the
lack of enemies in his own party. The
full returns Of the election are not yet
counted, but the office-seekers are be-
ginning to swarm toward Washing ton.

SOME time ago lady wrote to. Charles
Sumner, asking him to interest himself in
behalf of young man who was needy and
whom she desired him to assist by his in
huence. Mr.. Sumner replied that his at
tention was so much occupied in looking
after the welfare of mankind that he hadn't
any time to devote to the wants of indiyi-
duals. The lady rejoined that Mr.. Sumner
seemed to put himself higher than the AL
mighty, for the Almighty, while not ne
glecting the welfare of the world at large,
could still condescend to regard the needs
of individuals. Mr.. Sumner, ashamed of the
ludicrous position in which his great con-
celt had placed him, and recoiling from this
scathing rebukc, begged that the matter
might be suppressed. But the story leaked
out; it is literally true, and Julia Ward
Howe, the poetess, is the lady who sent the
terrific shot at the egotist. His recent let
ter is born of the same self-sufficient spirit
as his answer to Mrs. Howe. 'a ID 'a-

1--WE have learned one lesson by this
North Carolina business, it may be as well
to profit by,-and we needed little ex-
perience to impress it upon us,-and that
is, not to be in so great hurry in future
to fire off our pop-gms before we are sure
it is our time to shoot. - nq,drer. y
If our attitude the morning after tho cleo
ton referred to, was enough to excite the
admiration Of gods and the wonder of men,
what shall be said of the attitude of our
contemporary, in its pop-gun dilemma Of this
morning? The recoil Of the Greeley gun
it fired over the North Carolina 'deluge"
has effectually knocked its editor into
Lumpkin's Alley, or some other equally de-
lightful locality, where its Tipperary harp is
no longer strung for the beauty that flashed
in "Tara's ancient halls" but is hung
high up among the willows that weep by
Babylon's dirty waters. When our neigh
Dor takes with such admirable relish to
"crow," we must expect him to go off in
jubilant exultation over almost any impress
sion of victory. 1t was not the fault Of the
Enquirer that the genuine eagle did not
perch upon the Chappaquack's standard in
North Carolina. That bird is only little
too fastidious as to where it lights. The
harpy-eagle.is the only one that could be
expected to come down to the heraldic en-
ble,ns of the Tribune philosopher. '-' ~
