Internal Smprovements-Pr esfient
Grant and Governor Walker.

"a = lFrom the kew York Herald i
The opposing views on the subject Of great
internal improvements Of two recently issued
public documents--nameiy, the message Of
President Grant and the message Of Governor
Walker, Of Virginia-are worthy of note.
The President, as is generally known, re-
commends an extensive system of internal
improvements by tho Federal Government,
and particularly By canals of great length
and cost, with view to promote commerce
between the West and the Atlantic seaboerd.
He mentions, among other projects for which
he recommends Government aid, the James
River and kanawha canal. Governor Walk.
err, In his message to the Virginia Legisla.
ture, does not favor any such policy, though
his own State might reap the benefit of It.
He does not believe Congress will give the
aid recommended. He says:
"The Government Of the United States, in
my Judgment, will never undertake the
completion Of the James River and Kanawha
canal" ...,,.. ... ....~..
He Is opposed to the principle of Govern
ment undertaking such works. He advises
the owners Of property In the canal, ihclud.
ing the State, to transfer the title of all their
Interests to conpahy of responsible gen.
tlemen OF established reputation for probity
and financial ability, upon condition that
the work be completed in satisfactory man:
her within specified period. He SAYS the
arguments in favor of this scheme Of internal
improvements by the Federal Government
have been worn threadbare in the case of
the Niagara ship-canal, the Illinois ship-canai,
the Fox River improvement, and other like
schemes. He endeavors to dispel the Illusion
of such national undertaking, and urges
the people and State of Virginia to trust to
their own efforts and the capital they can OBJ
taih elsewhere. The Governor Is right on
the principle involved, and gives good adj
vice. To show what may be done In such
great internal Improvements where the peo-
pie and capitalists OF any State undertake
them, without aid from Washington aud by
such incidental encouragement as the State
itself Gu give, We may mention an im-
portant work about to be accomplished
in Maryland aud Delaware. We refer
to the "Maryland and Delaware ship
canal" It is to open water com.
munication for large vessels between
Chesapeake bay and the Delaware river, and
thus 10 avoid the long, expensive, and dan
gerous voyage round Cape Charles. It will
bring the trade to Baltimore, Washington.
Annapolis, and all the lower region of Mary
land and Delaware, in close connection with
New York, as we'll as with Philadelphia, and
would In time of foreign war exempt the
commerce which is now carried on by sea
from interruption. Such grand enterprises
as this one is, promoted by private capital
and incidental State mid, should be en-
couraged. Capitalists will find out what will
pay. Governor Walker is right in his view
Of the matter, and the President is wrong in
proposing gigantic and expensive schemes
of internal Improvement ut the cost Of the
National Government.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE INAUdUnArIoN
BALL. Washington Correspondence Phila-
delphia Press.]-Thei subject Of an In
auguration ball is already exciting attention.
There has been meeting of citizens to make
preparations. Governor Cooke presided,
and two secretaries were appointed 4
committee, with A. r. Shepherd for chair
man, was chosen. The enterprise and en-.
ergy OF this gentleman insure good pros
pect for well.orgaBized plans and pro-
grammes, and will do much toward effaciug
from the memory Of its unhappy victims the
blunders and stupidity of the last Inaugural
ton ball. The crowd attending that ball
was beyond belief when taken In connection
with the fact that the tickets were sold
for ten dollars, an arrangement made
with a view to keep out the com.
mon herd. The value Of the wearing
apparel lost upon that occasion has been
estimated at $4,000. The committee of ar
engagements paid, out of the funds received,
over 81 800 for hats, caps, coats, shawls, and
other wearing appare, given to the attendants
for safe-keeping, and which, In consequence
Of the confusion and want of system, were
not delivered TO the owners when called for.
Besides these losses were lace handkerchiefs
worth fabulous sums. A lady told me the
one she lost cost hundred dollars, and It
was common affair compared with others
that went in the same way. Watches and
chains, earrings and brooches, and all varie-
ties Of ladies' attire were wrested from the
fair owneIs on that eventual occasion. Gouty
old gentlemen were obliged to go home with
cut their carriages with handkerchiefs tied
OBJ their heads, and there Is no end to the
tales told of loss and Inconvenience suffered,
all to go to an Inauguration ball. i,
The grayest question under consideration
at the last affair of this kind was the adnis-
sion of colored people, and the shifts resorted
to to avoid the issue, either of admitting or
rejecting them, were amusing enough. There
will be no rouui for dispute this time. The
only question to be settled Is, Will the colored
people accept the situationy They cannot be
ignored, now that they occupy seats in Con-
gress and are recognized in all the affairs of
life. Social recognition must of necessity
follow if they choose to avail themselves Of
it. Mrs. Elliott, the wife of the colored MEM
Der FROM South Carolina, was made to feel
that the gallery set apart for members wives
was NOT capacious enough to holda colored
members wife last winter, and she did not
repeat tho experiment. When questioned
by an indignant white members wife in re-
gard to the intrusion, the doorkeeper an
swered that bis instructions were to admit
members families, and no exceptions were
made on account of color. The noses Of the
favored white race, In spite of political equal
ity, Involuntary elevate when coming in So
cial contact with this people. and the at
tempt, If made, to miDgle in such manner
will present. many novel and interesting
scenes. ". - .sy. ,........s.. ... .r......

THE PROPOSED FUND FOR TIE MISSES
GREELEY.-It was stated In our tele-
graphic news Saturday that the proposition
originating with the New York Herald for
subscription fund for the benefit Of the
daughters Of Horace Greeley--the editor Of
that paper leading with a subscription of
$1,000, followed by various subscriptions by
other ourna}ists-has been formally declined
by the editors of the Tribune on the part Of
the Misses Greeley. The Tribune, in refer
ring to the circumstance, indicates that the
association to which that paper belongs, and
of which Mr.. Greeley was the head, will as
sumo the grateful duty Of doing all that may
be necessary in the matter. The Tribune
says: .... ~. ......
"The Misses Greeley are unwilling, under
any circumstances, that the plan of sub
scription for their personal benefit should be
adhered to. In the great sorrow which has
fallen upon them so heavily they are Of
course in no position to investigate their az
fairs. 1t will be work of time to deter
mine the condition of Mr.. Greeley's estate;
but however il may have been impaired by
lberality perhaps too great, by loan OF
his own credit to those who proved un-
worthy of 1t, or by an overweening conf
dence in mems promises, there is. 1t is prob
able, enough remaining to quiet all these
generous ,apprehensions of the community.
And even if the provision were less, we
must be allowed to say that the Misses Gree
ley are in the hands of immediate friends,
who will care for them with assiduous fjdel-
ity and unremitting tenderness, and who
will recognize and repay the debt of grateful
honor due to their father-a debt which 1t Is
strongly felt can never be adequately dis
charged. A sympathizipg public may con-
tide in our assurance that the young ladies
are now the wards Of those who will be glad,
as well as able, to care for their every want
and comfort, and to see to it that the death
Of their father shall make no change IN their
methods of life and their resources.
ave announce the determination of these
ladies at their own urgent request. While
they are anxious not TO beregarded as want
ing in grateful! sense. of the great kindness
which prompted the subscription, they must
be allowed TO take the kindly will for the
kindly deed. With O thousand heartfelt
thanks, the profered bounty is declined.
There may be other methods Of exhibiting
the public liberality, methods by which the
memory Of Mr.. Greeley may be perpetuated,
and which would be grateful, not merely to
bis children, but to the whole broad circle of
his admirers. If these should commend
themselves to the public appreciation they
would certainly BIZ regarded by his daugh-
tiers with gratitude equal to that which SO
much kindness bus already inspired" 49, :
