sissippi,by wav of the Illinois j. Michigan
Canal. The Illinois River, and the Rock Is
land 4 Hennepin Canal. The cost Of the
Last link needed to complete this chain
would be- as we have said $4,500,000.
This il inst about equal to the sum which
illinois saved by using the Erie, despite its
high charges, in three years The pro-
nosed canal would tap, at Rock Island, the
currents of grain which flow down the Mis-.
sissippi from the whole Northwest. How
great This flow is may be inferred from the
fact that Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Illinois produced, in 1870, over 100000
bushels of wheat alone. The grain grown
in these States could be foated down the
Mississippi in barges, and the barges could
then be towed directly to Chicago. ms
towing might be done by locomotive run
ming on narrow guage railway ''iohg Tue
bank, or the steam canal boats now pelng
tried on the Erie may prove successful
enough to warrant their use here. Ii only
thirty boats passed through the canal pei.
dav, they would transport S,400 tons. OF
grain. It would take forty-two heavily
faded railroad trains to carry the same
amount. The saving in cost of transporta-
ton would be great Not only would the
goods carried on the canal pay low freights,
but also those transported by rail. The
opening 9th waterway would compel the
Chicago a. Rock Island Railway to reduce
its rates at once. The Burlington 4 Quincy
and the Northwestern would quickly be
forced to follow suit. A similar reduction
by all the east-and- west lines would be on
" q question of time Thus the whole
West, whether or not it used the canal,
would be the gainer by it.
1t is evident that it would pay, and pay
richly, to dig this ditch between Rock
Island and Hennepin, but Illinois is forbid
den by her Constitution to do it by the sale
of bonds. The enterprise is of too great
magnitude, perhaps, for a private corpora
tion to undertake, although it would surely
Weld handsome profit. If the general
Government is to pursue policy OF inter-
nal Improvement, we know of no way in
which it can spend $4,000 900 of the funds
set apart for that purpose better than in
digging the Rock Island 4 Hennepin
Canal. - Chicago Tribune. ...
Would it not be better for the United
States in view of the national Importance
Of this canal, to furnish some aid to the
State Of Illinois, for the purpose OF extend
ing the Illinois & Michigan canal to Rock
Island reserving certain privileges to the
United States as to government transport
tation when needed?

The Rock Island & Hennepin Canal.

1t has been fitfully proposed, from time
to time during the last few years, to dig
a canal between lennepin. on the Illinois,
and Rock Island on the Mississippi
Waving for the moment the question,
Who ought to dig it?" we propose to
consider, first, whether it ought to be dug
at all.
The route, which has been several times
surveyed, is substantially that of the ives
tern portion of the Chicago d Rock Island
Railroad. The country is nearly level
The rise from Hennepin to the Summit is
only 209 feet, which would be divided be-
tween nineteen locks. There would be
one stretch of Is miles on the Green River
without lock. The fall from the Sum
NIT TO The Mississippi is So feet This
would require only eight locks. The Sum
mit-cut itself would be only 6 miles lone
with a depth of rock excavation varying
from to II feet. There is scarcely any
rock to be cut through outside of this short
stretch. The whole length of the canal
would be GA miles. This is exclusive of a
feeder, 80 miles long, from the Summit
to the Rock River at Dixon. 1t is claimed
that the quantity of water taken by this
feeder from the river would be SO small
that the manufacturing industries of the
Rock Valley would not suffer at all The
highest estimate of the cost of the whole
work made by the engineers engaged on
the different surveys is $i,500,00O. This
is for large canal.
The Canadian canals will be finished
within three years, When they are, the
present cost of transporting grain from
chicago to Montreal will be sensibly low.

Fair Warning!

The West Union Defender, the
Democratic organ of Adams county,
issues the following 'fair warning"
to Ross county, inregard to the COM
ing Congressional Convention:
Gross county is organizing her
'swen mob" for the coming Con
gressional Convention. She Will be
there with about two hundred ''no
bic citizens" of the ancient metropo-
lis" Not only this, she viii have a
little good whisky, and some money.
She will put Ross county man for
chairmanship of the Convention and
sne will also have a Ross county man
for the chairmanship of the commit
tee on rules. She will bully, and
will badger, and if unsuccessful In
these, she will buy her way through.
We warn the people of the otter
counties of the District to send none
but their best men to the Conven-
tion-men who are not to be bribed,
men who are thoroughly honest and
upright. The last Convention was
fraud and a sham; and the people
owe it to themselves to see that its
counterpart does not exist in the
coming Convention. It is time for
a little honesty to be introduced 1t
is time for the people TO take stand
and see that the corruption of Tam
many and the conscienceless scoun-
drels who carried out the mandates
of her Triumvirate of villains, have
no imitators among the people of this
Congressional District. We want
fair shedding and if the people stand
firm we viii have it.

New PETERSBURG, July IA, 1874.
Not seeing in your much prized
columns, any notes from this part O.
the county, has induced me to try my
hand at short communication.
The rains of the few days past
have made glad the hearts of many
especially the farmers. The long
continued drought was making the
prospect for corn crop look un
promising.
The Wheat is all gathered, and
generally yields more than an aver
age, both in quantity and quality.
Health is very good.
Our little community was very
much startled and shocked last Fri
day morning by the sudden and un-
expected death of Mr.. T. E. Mere
dith, an esteemed and respected
citizen of our village. The cause of
his death was heart disease.
The teachers of this neighborhood,
yesterday opened q school here for
mutual benefit and improvement in
their noble calling. Prof. j. w.
Smith of Leesburg, is experimenting
it, and kindly invites all to attend.
Your paper is always a welcome
visitor, and we think is doing good,
especially for the cause of Temper
ance. APPRENTICE.

In common with nearly all of Mr.. Beech
er's friends and admirers, we rejoice that
he has demanded full and thorough inves-
tigation of the charges against him, not
openly made, but darkly hihted at, by
Theodore Tilton. The interests of religion
and the church, no less than Mr. Beechers
own reputation, would have been greatly
injured by his refusal to notice the charges.
Now that the investigation has commenced,
we hope it may be full and complete, what
ever may be the result to Mr. Beecher
personally, though We still have faith that
he will come out of the ordeal triumphant
ly, and without even the smell of fire upon
his garments.
