CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
Members OF Congress. ON the Best and
Cheapest Plan for Relieving the
West and South.
The Fort st. Phillip Canal Growing in
FaTOr-The Cry Of the West Is
Immediate Action.

WASHINGTON, January l0.-A num-
beT of members of the house of repre-
sentatives met tonight in the room of
the judiciary committee, in pursuance
of a call numerously signed, to take into
consideration the subject Of cheap trans
pOrtatiOn. Representative Donan, of
Iowa, was called to the chair, and Re-
presentatives Barrere, of Illinois, and
Hereford, OF West Virginia, were ap-
pointed secretaries. Representative
Holman alluded to the fact tEat during
last congress the appropriations for riv-
ers and harbors exceeded little over
five millions Of dollars, and said it was
currently reported that an effort would
be made to reduce them this session to
three millions. What was to be the
policy of congress On the subject of cheap
transportation was a matter of great
moment. II the appropriations are Te-
duced they might be applied to few
specific objects where money would be
spent for the benefit of the people at
large.
Representative Hurlbut, member of
the committee on railways and canals,
said he came here to receive informa-
ton. There were before that committee
projects involving the expenditure of
one hundred and thirty millions of dol
lars, and all of them had their friends.
While many of these projects were local
or sectional, some of them were national.
Although in the section where he lived
there was no immediate connection with
the Mississippi river, yet that river was
important to the agricultural interests of
Illinois at large, and lie therefore WIS in
favor of the Fort st. Philip canal. The
improvement Of the great lakes and the
means of making navigation accessible
to the sea were second to none of the
other schemes proposed for cheap trans
portation, which included the deepening
of the st. Clair flats and the
Niagara canal. Then, there was
also a project for q canal across New
York to divert to the canal the
western produce, which is now sought
an outlet through the st. Lawrence.
Another scheme was the opening of the
Tennessee river through various chan
nels, to afford some outlet to the At
lantic so as to reach Georgia or South
Carolina. There were other schemes of
like nature and Importance. The cry
of the west was for some immediate
action on the part of congress to re-
lieve them from engagement, from
the overflow, of the productions of the
Mississippi valley. There was grow
ing up q Well-founded complaint
against the railroads. This had
been going ON for ten years, and
had extended to other States. A sub
committee had reported to the general
committee q bill which would be con-
sidered by them, providing for board,
with view to reduce the exorbitant
rates now charged by railroads. BE
thought the committee would indorse
this bill, and report next week. He was

TINES REvENGEs.

From the Knoxville Tenn Press and Herald.l
Time brings its revenges. The typi-
cal East Tennesseean, wagOning his
family and household effects to the
broad west, is familiar portrait. But
Yesterday we saw another picture. a
rugged, middIe-aged farmer, from north
cru Ohio, came cheerily into town,
driving a wagon to which were har-
messed two jaded horses and an extra
third animal in front. From under tue
tsrpaulin covering peeped the face of
wife and children snugly ensconced
amid the househOuld litter. Stopping
at Spirois bakery the farmer purchased
sixteen great loaves of bread, volunteer
ing the information that he was from
northern Ohio. Cup there" said he,
"tw6s only five months between SHOWS"
and tired of 50 sterile region, and hear
ing of the wonderful climate of East
Tennessee, he had sold his farm, packed
his family and his household goods into
his team, and wagoned it distance Of
over six hundred miles to Knoxville.
His final destination was the fertile
~ eel water valley.

THE ELECTION QUESTION.


Governor Powers has authorized the
VieEsburg Times to state that he sought
and held q conference with Colonel Geo.
Z. Harris, who received a majority Of
the votes for encouragement last fall,
in order to make up a special case to test
The copstitutionality OF the election in
the courts, before the commencement of
the political year. Colonel iiaFris, after
taking the matter under advisement,
as0lined the proposition, on the ground,
as stated by the Times, that he was not
authorized by his associates on the
ames ticket TO enter upon an agree
ment Of the kind, and to abide the re-
suit. This action Of Governor, Powers
puts his motives and conduct In the
most favorable light. 1t proves that he
has confidence In the correctness Of his
eOgstruction Of the constitution, and

THIEVES AND Bl RCTLARS.
From the Jefferson Texas Mall
1t cannot be denied but that Jefferson
has at present a greater number of
shaTpers, sneak-thieves, and burglars
than ever before, and strangers and citi-
zens alike should be constantly on the
lookout for them, as there is small hope
of the police rendering any assistance.
These gentry have drifted from the
western cities, over the line of railroad
and have been gradually stealing their
way, literally, along from one town to
another. We hear OF their doings on
all sides of US. Sunday night they broke
into a store at Pittsburg, but did not
succeed in making much of a raise.
Monday night farmers house near
Larkin was entered, where the thieves
did make a raise of about two hundred
dollars in gold, a silver watch and fine
