Was the Vile du Havre ''rotten hulk not
fit to hoat?" This is a serious question. A la
dy claiming to have crossed the ocean in this
vessel last summer writes to the st. Louis Dem
ocrat giving it that unpleasant name and says
that she ''scuttled the ship in half a dozen
places with hair pins aud paper cutters' She
tells how, lying on sofa in stateroom No. so,
she dug through the side of the vessel to the
iron sheathIng with paper knife. If this is

We differ with Senator Carpenter radically
and often, and he seems to us very unsatrs-
factory representative of the republican rarry;
but we are sincerely glad of the action of the
senate, for, as against the unsustained allega-

tive, it must be regarded as conclusive yindi
cation. -HarperS Weekly.

TIE bill intro duced in the Senate for the
extension of the James River and Kanawha
Canal to the Ohio river at the national ex-
pense, is very remarkable enterprise. The
Job includes tunnel seven and four-fifths

would require bore seventy-6ve feet wide
and fifty feet high, SO that the expense at
this point would be something startling. The

is the same length but is only twenty-five
feet square. 1t took thirteen years to bore
it and cost S34,OOO,oOo. This tunnel would
cost more than 100000 and the balance

The salary bill which Mr.. Wright of the
Senate Civil Service Committee reported to
that body yesterday, is direct and manly
measure, and Congress can remove the odium
that was brought upon it last March only
by making that, or some measure quite as
sweeping in its provisions, a law. 1t is doub-
ly the duty Of the House to adopt the meas
ure if the Senate pass it. in order to relieve
the country of the painful impression that
majority of that body are willing followers of
so bad leader as Gen. Butler. The Repub-
licans Of the North are not satisfied with the
action Of the House. They appeal to the
honor and patriotism of the majority to re-
peal the disgraceful salary measure of last
March. Nothing less will satisfy the people.
They do not threaten; bat if their voice is
not needed, they cannot be held responsible
for the future.

Anew days sincea procession of laboring
men of Cincinnati headed by brass band,
marched to the Mayors Office and demanded
employment at $3.50 day. This official
had previously offered them slips day
but they refused this sum. Doubt
less, there is much restitution among
that class, but they had money
enough to employ band and the air was
polluted by the smoke of tobacco. One man
declared that he had a sick wife at home, two
destitute children and landlords notice to
quit, vel he would not work for $1.25 saying
that he preferred to steal. This idea that
the government is bound to take care OF the
needy on their own terms is one of the results
ofthe disgraceful demagogism that has been
served out by low politicians.
