Comptroller Knox has mado sone cnomies In
Congress by his exposure Of tho weak points In
sho Senate Currency BILL He was tho first to
point out that tho bill would oauso contraction
instead OF expansion and this raatadrott acute
ness tho infationistB will DO slow to pardon. Mr.
Beck. Of Kontucky, few days ago, charged tho
Comptroller With keeping in tho Treasury 3d.
600, 900 of tho extra National Dank circulation
ordorod to bc issued to tho Woht aud South. his
object being to delay tho withdrawal Of $2b,ooo,-
600 from tho Eastorn banks, which tho law pro-
videa ahall take placo when tho entire extra cir
oulation has boon issued. Tho Comptroller has
answered taia Charge In a dignihed aud honest
iotter, which WAS read in tho House Of Ropre-
seutativos Saturday. Thoro is no reason for
diabolioving Ills statement that tho delay In
withdrawing circulation from tho Eastern banks
Ia duo to defect in the law, not to dercliction
Of duty on his part. We bolioye Afr. Knox is
the only gentleman connected with the TfeRsury
Department who has got into trouble by rcason
Of knowing too much.

Tho Joint Committee Of the two Houses Of
Congress upon tho subject OF transportation be-
tween the West and tho East mado its report,
day last. The report is loDgthy document.
1ta conclusions may be thus stated: That 1t Is
important to have cheap and ample facilities for
tho exchange of commodities; that Congress
has tho powor to aid and facilitate this end by
improving or creating channels Of commerce on
land or water that 1t is doubtful whother cheap
and ample facilitioa can ever be obtained by
Congressional regulation Of existing moana Of
transportation, and that Congress has not the
Information necessary to attompt to regulate the
1900 railways Of the country, and, therefore,
they recommend certain general regulations con-
corning railways, to prevent combinations, dis
criminationH, limitations, and non-co-oper-
ative freight linoa. They also recommend
Bureau Of Commerce, otc.
Tho Committee find, however, that the physio-
I adaptation Of tho country for cheap and
ample water communications points to the im-
their connection by canals, under tue control Of
the Government; and, Of theBe wator-routoa,
tho following arc tho most advantageous chan
nela to be created or improved by the General
Government: !. The mississippi niver. q. A
water-route from tho Miaeissppi River to Now
York City, by tho Lakos. Q. wator-routo from
tho Mississippi River ria the Ohio and Tonnos-
500 nivora to point in Tonnoasoc or Alabama,
and thence by canal and slack-wator to tho
ocean, at Savannah or Mobile or both. 4. 4
route from tho MiBsisHtppi River uia the Ohio
and Kanawha Rivers to point in West Virginia.
and thenco by oanal aud slaok-water, or by
freight railway to tIde~wator. Tho cost Of these
| wator-routoa Is put down at s165, 900, 900. Tho
| Committee enter into dotail OF tho real and
| supposed advantages Of those several natural
channels Of communication, and plainly and dis
tinctly coucedo that thoy arc most important In
tho senso OF beng restraints upon ali railways
competing with them. The first question. how

ment OF tho Uuited States ls to engage in this

result Of this league, a lockout that concerns
America very nearly and involves the possible
solution Of tho most yoxed question In England

The agricultural laborors Of the Eastern ooun-
tioH asked for fourteen shillings.-about $3.50

Is said to have boon accompanied by the threat
of strike. Tic farmers at ouco formed lock-
out, aud hayo now thrown Thousands Of men out
