River improvements.


WASHINGTON, D. C, March 2j.-The
Secretary OF " ar las transmitted to Con-
gross a statement from the engineers de-
partment, submitting plans prepared for
the permanent Improvement Of the Missis-
sippi river between St. Louis aud Alton by
a board OF engineer officers appointed to in
vestigate the present condition of the river
between those points. The Recommended
tons are as follows:
First-It is proposed to close the channel
west of Ellis island so as to throw all the
water through the eastern or harbor chan
mel at Alton: this to be done by high or
low dyke, as may be determined upon.
Second-The board do not believe that
there are valid grounds for experimenting
that the Mississippi will change its course
80 as to flow into the valley Of Long Lake,
or will form any considerable channel
through it.
Third-The proposition to prevent, or at
least lessen the erosion opposite the mouth
of the Missouri by reopeniDg Mobile chute,
is worthy Of consideration, and they recon-
mend that the snags and other distractions
which now obstruct the flow OF water
through that channel be removed.
Fourth-They prefer to protect the banks
in Sawyers bend by reyetment, rather than
adopt the plan Of detecting portion or all
of the volume Of discharge through Cabaret
slough.
Flfth-They are of opinion the route
throughout the entire length of the city
front of st. Louis should and will eyentu-
ally be made to flow in a permanent chan
mel, >and that the eastern bank of the river
will have TO be brought to a line parallel or
nearly so to the opposite city levee, at a dis
tance from it at low water of not over twelve
or fifteen hundred feet, and rendered per-
manent The present demand is that from
Byachotf's dyke down to the East ST. Louis
leyee the channel should be confined within
the above limit To do this they recommend
the raising and extension OF the two Venice
dykes and the long dyke, and they believe
that when these d"kes shall have been
built As proposed the demands OF business
will soon cause the riparian owners to MI IN
between them, and to connect the ENDS OF
the DIV kes by continuous levee, thus giving
"a permanent river bank as demanded.
Sixth-They point out the necessity l"l
and recommend careful measurements OF
TIE slopes and volumes of the river at the
highest and lowest stages, and careful sur
veys of the bed of the stream at ali places
where the general navigation requires an
increase OF depth al low water between 81.
Louis and the mouth OF the Ohio, Tor all OF
which the following estimates were SUB
mitted: For the erection of q dyke at the
harbor of Alton, six feet above low water,
$40, 000; for the protection of the OF two
miles of bank at Sawyers bend, $l42,2ll %;

PENNsYEvANIA OORRuPrION.

EENNbKENANlA CORRUPTION.
The New York Sun has no sympathy for
the Grant corruptionists. 1t has brought
to light good many very ugly things of
which Grant and bis relations, now in Office
by bis appointment, and members of bis
Cabinet have been guilty. 1t has now
turned its attention TO what it calls "the
conspiracy organized In Pennsylvania in
connection with the war claims against the
National Government" the substance of
which is, that the couspiratOrs were mixed
up with Yerkes & Co., and were all, or
nearly all, "truly loyal men," and ardent
supporters of Gen. Grants administration.
The Sun publishes letter from Harrisburg,
from which We extract the following:
"And now let us return TO Evans. The
amount of his collections in actual cash was
on the 23dsof June, 1871, the date of the
last payment, nearly one million of dollars.
Out of this be had divided among the con-
spirators S291, 0l6.01, or ten per cent upon
the whole amount of Penn sylvania's claim
allowed by the United States. OF this some
100000 went through John +. Graft to
control the Forney influence, to secure the
lence OF the Philadelphia Press, to secure
access to the War Department through the
alleyway to bride certain officials in Wash
ington (among them, it is said, the Third
ComptrOller,) TO pass certain claims which
were nearly barren Of vouchers to sustain
them, and for various other purposes. The
balance was divided between Hartranit,
Il
Mcclure. The first of these got about $780,
600 in all, although he says that Evans still
owes him $4,000 on account of the agree
mem be was compelled to sign. Kemble
got $4,000, Mackey the same. Sammy
Moon about the same figure, while Jimmy
Mcclure, who claimed to be representing
| Gov. Geary, walked off with nearly all that
was left, leaving poor Evans penniless,
with his mortgages still upon his wife's
house, and heavily in debt besides"
These are very grave accusations and
should be met if not true. But there is no
probability that any effort viii be made to
disprove. Circumstances indicate that there
is too much truth in the story. For in
stance, the Washington Patriot said on
March 4:
"For several days past some members of
! the committee appointed by the Pennsylva-
Ma Legislature to investigate the charges
of fraud and defslcations against the Hon.
Geo. o. Evans, of Pennsylvania, have been
i'll this city, vainly endeavoring to
hunt up the witnesses in the Evans
case,' who, just prior to the ar
rival Of this inconvenient committee, were
known to be here, but just at that period
most mysteriOusly and conveniently
Udm0Sed. Wfthout these witnesses and
sharers in the spoils, the case cannot pro-
gress, as their testimony is necessary to es-
tablish the guilt of Mr.. Evans; ard until
their presence can be secured the case must,
for all practical purposes, remain in Statu
quo"
This shows that there is no disposition on
the part of Evans and bis friends, all of
whom are supporters of Grant, to meet the
issue.

for the verdict be would have done wisely,
for even had it gone against him, juries
are not infallible and he would have
found sympathizers who would still
have believed in him. As it is, he
goes not to the Tichborne estates in Dorset
but to the government estates in Aus
tralia, where a life of shame and labor
awaits him, instead of the life Of honorable
ease he coveted. But the mystery is not
yet explained. The conduct of the mother
remains a problem. His Identification by
so many of his military comrades, his pre-
ceptor, the steward of the estates, and his
old playfellows who swore with a. positive-
ness that had no shadow of doubt in it, can
not be explained on ordinary grounds. As
we have said, the case will prove godsend
to writers of fiction, but the most magma
tive of them viii find it impossible to addto
the profound mystery or the absorbing in
terest of the story.

THE Radical journals boastingly exclaim
that 'Straws show which way the wind
blows because one Straw was elected
Governor of New Hampshire. The New
York Express says: SIT is significant that
he gets his whole majority in the manufac-
turing towns of the State. The whole in
terests of monopoly went in for his support,
which was natural enough, considering that
Straw is one of the craft and knows all
about it. The SIS 900 sent from Washing
ton to corrupt the voters was another tell
ing reason in the same direction"
