Spring and Winter.
BY OWEN MEREDITH.

The world buds every year
But the heart Just once, and when
The blossom tails off sere
No new blossom comes again,
All ! the rose goes with the wind,
But the thorns remain behind.
Was it well in him, if he
Felt not love, to speak of love so2
If he still unmoved must be,
Was it nobly sought to move SO?
Pluck the flower, and yet not wear it ?
Spurn, despise it, yet not spare 1T
Need he say that was fair,
With such meaning in his tone,
Just to speak of one whose hair
Had the same tlnge 20 my own +?
Pluck nv life up, root ana bloom
Just to plant it or his tomb?
And she'd scarce so fair face
$50 he used to say as mine;
And her form had far less grace;
And her brow was far less fine,
But twas just that he loved then,
More than he can love again.
Why, if beauty could not bind him,
Need he praise me, speaking low?
Use my face just to remind him
How no face could please him now
Why, if loving could not move him,
Need he teach me still to love him7
And he said my eyes were bright,
But bis own, he said, were dim
And my hand. he said, was white
But what was that to him
For" he said, " III gazing at you,
l seem gazing at a statue
eyes - he said sshe had ornWn wise nov
He had suffered much of yore;
But fair grace to his eyes now,
Was far face, and no more.
Yet the anguish and the bliss,
And the dream, too, had been his
Why those words, thought too tender
Fer the common places spoken?
Looks whose meaning seem'd to render
Help 10 words when speech came broker
Why SO late in July moonlight
Just to say what's said by moonlight?

that Mr.. Shepherd is a good fellow who has
been unjustly accused. and so he gives him
higher office to mark his confidence and silence
the voice of censure. He has often done such
things before, and hs conduct is curiously
characteristic. Public disapprObation of any
one of his fayorites makes the President first
increduous, then obstinate, then defiant
There is something chivalric in this devotion
to his friends. But what right has Gen. Grant
TO Use the public Offices TO reward his friends I
The patronage is not n perquisite of the
Presidency, but public trust to be discharged
for the sole interest of the people. The Execu-
tive who pulls commissions out of his pocket
60 console his intimatcs for the loss of popu-
larity initiates the kings who paid women
with patents Of nobility for the loss of honor
And so we say that the promotion of an Off
Ger who stands accused of unfathfulness is a
serious symptom of demoralization-a sign
that the President mas neither proper sense
of his own responsibility nor jealous care
for the purity Of official life.

THE CAPACITY OF THE ERIE CANAL.
Mr.. Israel T.. Hatch represents the opinion
of Buffalo on the Transportation question.
That opinion is that the Erie Canal is all right
now. nothing more being needed than to
finish the system of double locks and to keep
the prism dredged out. In his hearing before
the Transportation Committee last Friday,
Mr.. Hatch said "All modern schemes for
"cheapening transportation In this country
care based upon calculations predicated upon
/" the inability of the Erie Canal to transport
"the products of the West to tide-water, and
"the fallacy that its maximum capacity has
"been reached. Estimating its lockages (the
only test of capacity at ten minutes with
1920 days az the season Of navigation, and
"the enlargement of the canal completed with
double locks, ifty-six feet bottom, seven
eject deep, and seventy feet wide, 25O,0O0,0O0
"bushels of wheat, or 100000 Of tons, can
"be moved over it in one season. The
"above amount is twice that of the grain
lever exported from Chicago, Duluth, Mil
"waukee, Detroit, and Toledo in any one
"year." lit
The fallacy in the above calculation is this:
The Erie Canal is not used exclusively for the
TRANSPORTATION of grain, but for that Of coal,
lumber, iron, iron ore, salt, stone. and other
bulky articles Moreover, the proportion of
these latter articles is increasing, while that
of grain is diminishing AS a matter of fact
the Erie Canal never has brought 10 tide
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-09-15

water three million tons in any one year, and
of the present tide-water receipts only fifty
per cent are products of agriculture. The eff
fective season of navigation is only about two
hundred days. instead of two hundred and
twenty, as stated by Mr.. Hatch. IL affords
little relief to the Western grain trade 10 have
the canal open before the lake harbors are
open, or to dispatch boats from Buffalo so late
In the season that they are necessarily frozen
up before they reach NewYork.
Again, as to the double locks. All the
locks on that part of the canal which is most
crowded are already doubled, and we believe
that the locks which remain to be doubled are
only two, or. at most, three i'll number, and
are situated west of Rochester With the
double locks completed throughout and good
navigation maintained, the capacity OF the
canal to bring to tide-water Will not De Iound
to exceed four million tons per year, OF when
two millions only will be available Tor boats
laden with grain Since 1SG2-or let us take
the average of the years 1851, 2, and '3-the
movement of agricultural produce to tide water
on the Erie Canal has fallen off thirty per cent,
while that of lumber and other articles has
increased fifty per cent 1t is, therefore, the
grain and not the lumber which tends TO leave
the canal. The Erie Canal, in prime condition,
NAV be counted on in The future to bring, at
the outside, two million tons of grain to tide
water. instead of eight million, as MIR. Hatch
would persuade us. In this estimate OF the
capacity of the canal we are confirmed by the
opinion of Mr.. Walker, the statistician OF the
Produce Exchange. On Saturday, in his state
ment before the committee, he gave the outside
CAPACITY of the Erie Canal, for the movement
of freight Eastward, at four million tons annu-
ally. AS we cannot and ought not to If we
could. drive the lumber and coal and iron
off from the canal, we can count on only two
million tons as the grain capacity. Two
million tons is the equivalent of about
seventy million bushels of wheat and corn,
which is considerably less than the exports
from New-York in the last twelve months,
added to the home consumption OF the popu-
lation of the river counties, Long Island, ana
the eastern part of New-Jersey. The New
York Central Erie, and Pennsylvania rail-
roads alone are now moving more than three
million tons of vegetable food each year. and
are gaining rapidly at the expense OF the
canal, whose tonnage of wheat and corn is
less this year than last, and was less last year
than the year before last.

Mr.. Samuel Levy, Mayor of Shreveport, La,
has autographed that the yellow fever is in
creasing in that city. Money is needed; all
the well who could leave have fled, and the
poor must be cared for by charity. This is a
distressing state of things. Its mere mention
on such authority ought to arouse the sym
patbies of the generous and humane.

Now that the final statement of the cotton
crop of the United States is made up, we
shall hear less of the persistent attempts
which have been made to "bear" the cotton
market. Various causes it is true, tended to
discourage the cotton-growers, too much rain
embarrassing those of some localities, and a
drouth having diminished the crop in other
parts of the country. Nevertheless, the yield
is a good one. 1t is figured at 3,98O,5OS bales
being an increase of more than 100000 over
the crop of 1872.

There have been some shocking stories told
of Senator Nipple Mitchell of Oregon; in fact,
according to the Western newspapers, his per-
sonal morals have been in most tattered
condition. All this seems out of the purview
of a political assemblage; yet, the Oregon Re-
publican Convention has just passed a resOlu-
ton in which the Republicans of that State
are made to say that they '.ncther apologize
"for, pass judgment upon nor justify him )"
but that they believe che has Outliyed any
"imputation cast upon him" This is cruel
as well as impertnent kindness it is giving
the Senator ticket-oI-leaye for good con-
duct.

From our correspondent with the Hayden
expedition we have an interesting report
(printed on the third page of The TRBUNE)
of observations made in the heart of the Rocky
Mountains. 1t is satisfactory to learn that the
scientific corps propose to change the name OF
the Sierra Madre to National Range, though
the new title is not specially significant. But
while these new sponsors were about 1t, they
might have found nObler names for two grand
old peaks than "White House" and Capitol"
Our geographical nomenclature does not seem
to improve much

Farmers now occupy so large a share of
public attention that they need hardly be
reminded of their Importance as a controlling
power in the Republic. But the finished adj
dress of Mr.. Elliot c.. Cowdin, delivered at
the Westchester County Fair, last Thursday,
presented this and kindred points in a man
ner so striking that new discussion must be
awakened. We print some of the prominent
portions of the address. They are worthy the
attention which we invite to them; and they
contain some clear-cut statements which are
first-rate topics for the much beset tillers of
the soil.
