The bill making an appropriation for tho new

dam already constructed at Henry gives sunl-
cient depth Of water al all seaaonB, from that
point to La8allo, for stoanboat navigation.
Botween Henry and Peoria, there arc no bars
now that give any trouble to navigation. Be-
twoon poorfa and Oopporas Crock, there arc sov-
cral bars which forbid navigation during groat
portion Of tho year; at somo periods tho water
on these bara is aa low M 20 inches, but tho con-
struction Of the dam at Copperas Crock will put
these all under seven foot Of wator at all Boa-
Sons. When tho dam ia constructed thore will
be perfect navigation from Chicago to Lasalle
by canal, and from Lasalo to Havana by rivor.
It will be practical extension Of tho canal to
Hayann. Below that point tho distractions to
navigation aro fow and unimportant, and from
Chicago to st. Louis thero will be- by river aud

4 petition that tho Grand Jury systom bo-
abolished In this stato WAS roforrel, by tho
senate Of Illinois, to seloct Committee, con-
Btating Of h1essrs. Baldwin, Cuaoy, mud Warren,

and that every man accused ia entitled to havo
both sidcB Of the caao heard before lo is de-
prived evon temporarily Of liB liberty. Thoy
hold that Grand Juries delay and defeat Justice
that they prevent tho speedy and certain admin
istration Of Justice, which Gun alono dotor aud
properly punish crime. Thoy recommend in
their bill that ali persons accused Of crime, In
atoad Of being committed to await tho action Of
Grand Jury, as now, shall DO examined by
Judge Of u court Of record, or by three Justices
Of the Poaoo, who Bha11 hear all tho evidence,

It is undoubtedly suggestion in the interests
Of tho peace and good order Of the community
which the Board Of Police Commissioners havo
mado in recommending the Common Council to
pass IN ordinance closing the saloons at II
o'clock ut night, or thoreabouts not to bo re-
opened until or o'clock tho noxt morning.
Tho time Of closing might be reasonably oxtend-
cd, perhaps, to midnight. 1t is proper and do
slrable, howevor, that all the saloons should 10
shut up sitter TINT hour. There will bo no
objection to such an ordinance from
tho moro decent drinking resorts. On
tho other hand, the all-night or "break-
o'-daY houses" are tho principal resorts
for tho rowdies, roughs, low gamblers, vagrants,
aud thieves Of every description. The largest
proportion of tho crimes OF violence nre eithor
committed in theao dives or trace their origin
back to them. It should DO ono Of tho rules Of
tho police system that keeping open after mid
night iB prin.a jdcie evidence Of tue disreputabe
character Of public saloon. This rulo would
reach tho italian shops that arc 80 numerous on
Clark, State, Vest Madison, and other prominent
thoroughfares in tho city, and which aro among
the worst OF tho class Of public housos that rank
as disreputablo. Tho suggestion of tho Board
Of Police is worthy Of prompt and favorable
action OH the part Of the Common Council.
