The great trouble now Is that, owing TO a sus-

for labOrers to build public works, manufactures

ordinary callings Of men. They understand the
business they have followed, but that is stopped.
That there was such business actively carried on
called them TO it and lifted them for It and almost
untitled them for any other.
But were they suited for other occupations, the
demand for laborers iu those other occupations Is
lessened by the causes which have suspended en-
terprise generally. Besides, the manufactures
arc required to eurtail their operations for the
same causes. and they have turned out their
thousands to swell the army Of the idle and de-

which has been used mainly'in corrupting
and buying State Legislatures, courts and
judges, and leading organs ofpublic opinion.
In these columns we have been advo-
eating for two years the construction by
the General Government Of the great water
routes between the interior and the sea
board, which were clearly and forcibly
pointed out in Mr.. WINDOWS report a year
ago. The convention now in session in
our sister city will demand from Congress
prompt beginning Of the work. We have
very little faith, however, that anything
will be done in the direction indicated; that
we shall have either a bold or vigorous
policy upon anything calculated to help
the party, or enable it TO regain the con-
tidence and support Of the people. We
have no idea that the party will do any
thing except drift, as it has been
drifting for years. To show the general
sentiment Of the press on the subject, the
press which is not owned by railroad mo-
nOpoliStS and conducted in their interest,
we print a number OF extracts from jour
mails in different sections of the country,
which carry with them their own comment.

ways been loss to the Republican party
as twill be in the Florida case if the con-
spiracy is not checked. The Legislature
of the State is Republican on joint ballot,
and if the scheme to which we refer is car
ried out, it will be at the cost of principle
and the result of gross deception. The
patronage of the Governor, under the re-
construction constitution, is very great.
He has the appointment of nearly
all the county and a majority Of
the State officers and is, in short,
politically omnipotent. Governor Stearns
was elected to be Lieutenant Governor,
and succeeded TO the GovernoTship on the
death of Gov. Hart Since then he has
been charged with coquetting with the
Opposition, and although considerable feel
ing has been developed against him at
home, he has succeeded in maintaining a
comparatively respectable standing with
the party authorities in Washington. 1t
seems probable that the recent temporary
Democratic successes have somewhat de-
moralizcd him, and that he is either fright
ened at the prospect, or has deliberately
planned the betrayal Of his party. 1t is
not often that such despicable treason as
this is brought TO light in American poll
tics, but when it is the active agents in it
arc certain TO receive severe and merited
punishment. Let Gov. StearnS and his
friends weigh well the responsibility which
they will incur, if they dare to tritie with
the expressed wishes of the people. 1t is
true that with the immense patronage to
which We refer, he will be able TO give the
State entirely into the control Of the Dem
ocrats; but he may rest assured that, at the
best, he will only receive as a reward for
his treason the pity and contempt of the
men who now seek to use him for their
own selfish purposes. Give US Ropubli-

TIE IMPROVEMENT or THE NEsSTS-
SIPPI.

CSt. Louis Democrat
Senator W indom is reported as saying that his
select committee will decline to recommend the
railroad bill known as McCrary's and will repeat
its Recommendations of last year for the improve
ment and construction Of waterways. We trust
that no time will be wasted on the railway scheme.
The consultations which we have witnessed dur
ing the last year render II even more clear than
before that the only sufficient and permanent
remedy for evils inherent in the nature Of railway
transportation is to provide competition by means
Of free waterways. And in this particular the
improvement Ofthe Mississippi and its main tribu-
taTies is the work Of first Importance, because by
that route only can absolutely unrestricted COM
petition be maintained.
We hope that this point will be earnestly press
ed upon upon the attention Of Congress. 1t is
not particularly necessary to object 10 the other
plans Of improvement, some Of which would be Of
great service to certain States or districts. We
believe the Window report only recommends an
appropriation for the purpose of having these
thoroughly surveyed: and n reasonable appro-
priatiCn for that purpose will be abundantly Jus
tined If it results in cOnfnIng future discussion
respecting artificial canals to those which are
really practicable and of practical value
