Canal Steamers.

All the inventors in the country are rekins
their brains to take the prize Of 500 wa, otter.
BY the Legislature Of 1871, for a steam CANAL
boat which could b run mors chsapIy tha.. the
horsepower arrangement, at . speed Of not less
than three miles an hour. Economy Of work
ips is, as il should BE- its chief desiderstun. -
Speed IL an object, too, but only subordinate :;
for the greater the speed on the canals the more
liable are the bands 10 be worn away, aud re-
quire extensive repairs. Three miles an hour,
however, il . greater speed than that Of the
present horue boats II it were possible to Invent
some motor that would save the truuble of tow.
lhg and the many difficulties incident to the ice
Of horses, aud could be worked At the same
cos,, Or even little mere than horse power, The
State would tnd the bargaia cheap II $lOO,OOO.
More boats could be run, more business done,
and large revenue be be derived from the
csnal. lii were possible TO increase the speed
to five miles an hour, and still keep within the
present course Of transportation, the canal steam
boat would almost work = revelation. Then,at
least twice the present b. siIIess could be- done
upon the canals, aud saving made of half Of
present nip.tims. The problem is most diff.
cult one. There is nothing insuperabie in the
task Of making a steamboat whit b will run we'll
and without damaging the banks; but to pro-
vide such a motor which shall be demonsi rably
cheaper foi the work done than horse-po power il
quite another thing. For the great meri, Of
horsepower on canaIs-the one supreme argu.
ment in its favor-has always been its cheapne.~.
To cut under il would seem to be almost an i'm.
possibility. But American inventors do not
think so, and every few days some one Of the
country papers shouts Eureka" and proclaim.
The discovery Of the long. sought steam motor by
modest village genius. The object is, however,
not attained; the reward 10 still open, and we
hope that somebody will enti,le himself 10 re-
GIVE, and confer real benefit upon this State

Washington special to the St. Loui.
Republican says:
The prospect of trouble between the
Cameron wing of the Republicans in Penn
sylvania and the administration increase,
daily. The fact that the President. on Sun
day last, gave Colonel Forney the privilege
OF naming his successor as collector OF
Philadelphia. thereby, for the first time
ignoring the recommendation of Senator
Cameron, has caused a good deal of feeling,
in which the friends of the latter very gen
orally declare that the President will find
hls attempt to conciliate Forney and to
ostraclse Cameron will cause him more diff
Guilty than t. have allowed Forney to resign
and take his own course. The administra-
ton was suddenly frightened. however, into
eonclllating Forney. The latter arrived
here Sunday, and not only dined with
Grant but was called on by three members
OF the Cabinet and Senator Morton. A
published statement that FOrney is going
to be made Postmaster General, vice Cres-
well, deposed. adds not a little to the polit-
Teal excitement among Pennsylvanians.

The Norwegians have determined to erect
huge granite monument on the wild coast
of the Scandinavian peninsula. to celebrat e
the one thousandth anniversary of the
mighty warrior, Harald Haariager. This is
long period of national existence, filled
with an interesting almost fabulous, his
tory. In the early part of it Norwegian
navigators excelled all others in holiness
and skill, and it is pretty certain that they
made discoveries on our coast centuries
before the voyages of Columbus and the
CAbots.
