The Canal and locks BllI.

The Canal and Locks bill, after
passing through a severe gauntlet of
changes from the House to the Senate
and thence back again, was at last
deposited on the table of the House,
where it Is to be hoped it may never
be disturbed. 1t is reported that the
Company was so anxious to sell the
Locks to the State that it lowered its
price to $25,060 per year for twelve
years, and would give up everything.
That would be much better trade for
the State than the former terms, but
we think the Legislature has pursued
the wisest course in the premises, by
refusing to purchase them at all at
this time. Let the Company 90 on
and finish the works. and two years
hence, after they have been tried, and
their value can be practically estimat-
ed, will be time enough for the State
to purchase.

The FIowery Ikinsiom Experiment.

I
| We learn from an exchange that the
thirty Chinese lads who not long since
arrived in San Francisco. are to be
taken ito Connecticut and Massachusetts
and distributelamong private families,
TO be boarded and instructed by them.
They are to remain in this country for
fifteen years to be thoroughly trained
in our manners and customs. and to
be educated in our schools. If possible
they are to be entirely Americanized,
the intention Of the Chinese Govern
ment in this appearing to be, to give
our civilization test, as applied to
their own people. The boys are of an
average OF twelve years. Their num-
Der is to be gradually increased until
it reaches one hundred and twenty in
all. They will not be permitted to
remain together, but will be scattered
through two States, no more than two
being permitted to board in any one
town. In this way they will be COM
PEELED to associate with American
society, and thus be moulded more
rapidly by it. The result will be
watched with no common interest in
this country as well as in China.

Governor Grover has vetoed the act
to amend tie charter of Portland,
yesting the power to appoint the
Police Commissioners in the City
Council, subject to the approval OF the
Mayor, instead Of the Governor, au-
thorizing the immediate appointment
of the successors of the present Com
missioners. The Police system as it
now exists. was enacted as a Demo-
cratic measure in 1870 for the purpose
ofinfuencing the complexion Of cleo
tions in that city. 1t was tyrannical
and unjust towards the citizens OF
Portland, and Grover has not increas-
ed the good opinions Of the people by
refusing to sign the act.

A Good Feature.

\ good feature of the present cam
paign is the large number of young
men who favor the election of Grant
and Wilson. This is both q compli-
ment to those distinguished gentlemen
and a credit to the good sense of the
young men. 1t shows they appreciate
the needs Of the times and the candi-
dates who are the best adapted to meet
them. The young men of the present
day ale not trammeled, or tied down
on account of the traditions or preiu-
dices of party. They Judge a party
for what it is, not for what it has been.
They are pleased with the Republican
party lecase it is doing well for the
country. They prefer Gen. Grant,
BECAUSE the success OF the Republican
party is largely to he attributed to his
policy of administration. lie has
proven himself wise, progressive, 10y
al, safe. They look at Greeley--old,
unstable, visionary, unprincipled-

Il anay not he generally known that
England is beginning to import coal
from lie United States. This has re-
sultvl from the increased cost fwork-
Ing her own mines. The advance in
the wages Of her own miners and tile
great depth from which she extracts
her ccal. have rendered it cheaper to
import 1t from this country. The
price Of coal and increased wages have
also nearly doubled the price OF Eng
lish iron, 80 that It will not be long
until our coal and iron will be sold In
Ill the markets of the world.

i AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DrREcToRY.-We
have received from Messrs. Geo. p RoWell 81
Co. of New York, the American Newspaper
Directory for 1872, an elegant, octave volume
of $50 pages, containing complete lists Of all
the newspapers and periodicals published in
the United States and Territories, and British
America and tile provinces. AS model of
typographical art. it is, perhaps, the most
perfect ever issued from the American press,
and as Il contains, in addition to the direc-
tory AN elaborate. yet comprehensive descrip-
ton Of the Cities and, towns where neWspa-
pers are published, it will be a valuable ac-
QUESTION TO the editorial desk. From it's in
troilnctory rage we gather that there are
published in the United States 6,432 neWspa-
ners and periodicals; in the Territories 81; in
the Dominion of Canada 374, and in the Brit
ish Colonies 49,. making a total ,922, being
all increase of 4S4 over the number published
a year ago. Tn the Territories the increase
has been II.
As statistical work, showing the pro-
gress Of our nation as shown through the
medium of the press, the Directory is replete
with valuable information to all classes.

THE New SILVER MINEs.-Ervm DIR. q.
RI. Daniels, who has just returned from a
trip to the newly discovered silver mines we
learn that the reports first circulated in re-
gard to the richness Of the mines We're not
at all exaggerated, and that in the opinion Of
all who have seen the ore taken from the
leads, they will prove far more valuable than
was at first supposed. Mr.. Daniels brought
some of the rock to Bozeman, and, to all ap-
pearance. it is very rich i'll native silver, with
but little gaiena appearing in the ore. Quite
number of the citizens Of Bozaman have
gone to the '..diggins, n and the excitement is
spreading to other parts OF tile country, and
Cherry Greek is now looked upon as the new
TEL dorado. Should the mines prove as rich
as they are now reported to be, it will be pro-
ductiye Of immense benefit to this section o.
country. as d lively mining camp always in
sures a plenteous circulation Of the root of
