THE LATE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

The Senatorial contest which end
ed in the election of James NJ. Har-
vey, on the End, inst, differed, in
most respects, from any ever held
in the State. 1t had been the Gus
tom to close out the election of q
Senator at least not later than the
second day, but this one broke over
the bounds of all presidents in our
history in this particular. aud spread
itself oyer seven days. We doubt
if it had ended even that soon had
not the candidates, the members
and lobbyists become utterly tired
out aud completely exhausted with
the work and excitement OF the
struggle. Had not the law of Con-
gress interdicted such q course there
would have been an adjournment, a
rest, and a new and fresh onset.
But the law directs that the legisla-
ture must vote at least once every
day until thsre is an election. This
wise provision held all hands to bus
mess until the work wss done,
and when there was a break of the
lock, II was quick work.
There was another difference be-
tween this contest and some of the
formeR oles. On the heels of at
least three of the former elections

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

The whole Mississippi Valley is
interested in the bill introduced by
Hon. w. a. Phillips, last month.
The bill proposes to construct a
canal from the Gulf of Mexico, at
the best point, then follow the Mis-
issippi riverssaAd some of its larger
tributaries till it reaches the north
ern lakes. The idea is to give the
Great West water transportation
to the seabord.
Every section of this western
country is interested in this magni-
ficent enterprise. Our producers
want the best and surest market for
their grain and beef; and they want
cheaper transportation than they
now have. These two most desir-
able ends can be secured by toe
above plan.
AT the present time our produce
has to be shipped all the way TO
New York by rail. The Great
West is building up a grand Me-
tropolis in the East at her own ex-
pense. The profits of her produce
are all swallowed up by the rates OF
commission and transportation. II
our farmers are not making money
out of their grain, pork and beef, it
is because they are paying too much
for its transportation. Let a great
mart of trade be opened in the Mis-
sissippi basin ; let the farmers have
another outlet for their produce,
and freight rates will be reduced,
and they will find it n profitable
business to produce grain and meat
in the west. This New York mon-
opoly of commerce must be broken.
The opening of the Mississippi, and
the improvement of the Missouri
Illinois and Ohio rivers, giving us
q center of commerce on the Gull
of Mexico, would most effectually
break il up. Two great centers OF
trade would be vastly better for this
country than one.
The Mississippi is our natural
line of transportation. At it's delta
we shall find our center of trade
The Gulf IS nearerto us, and water
transportation much cheaper than
that by rail to New York. The
shortest and the cheapest way to
the sea ia what the western farmer
wants. The best and cheapest way
to move his products to market he
ought to have.
The papers in the East are some
what agitated over this question,
and if the bill spoken of above is
passed, or even favorably consider
ed in Congress, it will be because
western Congressman are united
and determined in their efforts TO
have n hearing. Wonld IL not be
we'll for western farmers and man
ufacturers to send up some long and
loud petitions? Let them unitedly
press their suit until Congress
shall be constrained to hear.
The Great West is growing great
er very fast. This immense Valley
has all the elements of greatness,
and is perfectly able to control the
markets of the whole country, il
the people will only unite on this
plan of cheap transportation,
Proper effort will effect the thing in
side of n score of years. Let Wes-
tern Congressman look well to the
