STEAM CAN4L-BOAT.
LAUNCH OF THE PRIDE OF ERIN AT
CUMBERLAND.

LAUNCH OF THE PRIDE OF ERIN AT
CUMBERLAND.
Captain Edward Lynch, Of Georgetown, who
has for some time past been engaged upon the
labor Of perfecting that IOng-sought for desider-
alum, steam-canal boat, has so far succeeded
that on Monday last he launched one at Cumber
land, Nd speaking Of which, the Times says:
The beautiful beat which has for some time
past attracted so much attention on the stocks in
the bOat-Yard Of Messrs. X. & NJ. COulehan, of
this city, successfully launched at $3.50 O'Clock
on Saturday. This boat is a steamer, built under
the immediate supervision Of Captain Edward
structor. after desf Of his own, and will be
propelled by engines constructed under p-inci-
pie differing materially from any now in use on
canals. Two wheels in the centre Of the boat and
q propeller at the stern constitute the mOtorial
power which it is expected will solve the difficult
problem Of successfully navigating canals by
steam. The greater portion Of the machinery-in
fact We believe about all except the boiler-was
placed in the boat before she was launched.
at was manufactured at the extensive works Of
W W. Mckaig x Son, OF this CITY, and is oftrst-
class workmanship. The boat is constructed
mainly Of oak. Of great strength and beauty, and
reflects credit upon the builders the Messrs Cou-
lehan, who are among the best Of CumOerland's
mechanics. A large crowd assembled to witness
the launching, many Of whom were ladies' all
seemingly anxious to testify their interest in the
success Of the new enterprise. Captain Lynch
appeared still as sanguine as when the keel Of
the boat was laid, and welcomed the visitors in
1he most cOurtly manner"
After an account Of the christening Of the YES
sci by Miss Clara Steele, Of Brooklyn, N Y as
the Pride Of Erin, the article continues:
1.-THE Pride OF Erin so far meets every eEpec-
tation. Her draft Of water is as follows: Bow
eleven inches midghip and stern one foot. The
machinery yet to be added docs not weigh quite
one ton, and can therefore increase the draft of
water but little. As soon as her machinery is all
on board the necessary trial trip will he taken,
and the gallant captains most sanguine eXpecta-
tiOns either realized or blasted. We sincerely
trust that they may be fully realized, as they
certainly deserve TO be. Several weeks will yet
be consumed in the completion OF the necessary
details before the trial trip can be made. Captain
Lynch expects the Pride Ct Erin TO carry one hun
dred and twenty tons Of coal on four feet six
inches Of water"

ARGUMENT FOR PROSECUTION.


The Court said he had been called upon to act
upon this law before. When requested to leave
the seats they were in, It should have been made
known to them that there were other seats which
they could occupy. Prof. LangstOn had asked,
'What does THIS mean?" The reply was that
''they did not mean to serve them; that was plain
enough" This refusal appeared to be absolute,
and he had only one thing to do, which was to
impose tine OF 800. Some applause followed,
which was, however, suppressed, and Mr.. Mer-
rick appealed.

ated since 1872, have been a standing blot
upon the fair name of the state. A part OF
those bonds were actually sold at lib, and
the money received by the state. In
diana made q compromise with
stock for one-half of their bonds and over
due coupons, and Wabash & Erie Canal
stock for the balance, about $500. 900, the
legislature declaring at that time that 1t
would never make provision for the pay
ment of bonds not surrendered for exchange
in that way, and thus making the surrender
almost compulsory. The canal has proved
worthless, and the creditors claim the full
payment for their shares from the State. By
the rules of honor which govern business
transactions among individuals they seem
to be entitled to It. On q few of the old
bonds not surrendered Mr.. j. w. Garrett, of
Baltimore, recently recovered a judgment
for their full amount in an action. against
the canal trustees.
