A TICKET OF LEAVE MA " o.

For more than two years the provincial
press has permitted libels upon everybody
and everything at the Federal metropolis
TO be printed from its correspondents lodg.
ing here. The reckless nature of many OF
these transactions has stimulated the baser
order Of publishers to send amongst us q
set Of street and purlieu reporters, whose
company is not very agreeable to the older
journalists. The worst specimen of these
is, without doubt, one Walker, of the Chi
cago Times, man of whom we have the
following account from one of the most re-
sponsible publishers in that city:

THE Albany Evening Journal acknowledges
that the outlet of the Mississippi should be
opened. It admits that the river and it's afiu-
ents form a system of water carriage over 49,
900 miles in length; that they drain over two
flfths of our national domain; that the trade
Of nine cities of the valley alone was valued at
STAT ,OO0, 900 in 1865, and that the aggregate
commerce of the Mississippi valley is computed
at over So OOO, 600 900; but, after ALL it has an
idea that very much of that commerce would
prefer what It is pleased to term the direct
route to New York by rail and canal than to
go round by the Gulf. It is quite natural for
the New Workers to think their lines the best
and the cheapest, and so they may be for vast
amount Of this trade, perhaps for all OF It that
they can accommodate; but the Journal knows
that the lake and canals are closed five months
in the year; that the Mississippi and the Gulf
would be open. 1t fears that the times are too
hard for Congress to make the appropriation
for a while yet. These are unfair tactics
for the Journal to play. II the
same or similar obstacles had existed at the
overslaugh in the Hudson, just below Albany,
We should hear q very different tone from that
quarter. Slight as were the distractions ct
that point, the Government has made liberal
appropriations from time to time to clear them
away. There is no doubt that If the channel
at Sandy Hook was obstructed by bar pre-
senting such an impediment to navigation rs is
found at the mouth ofthe Mississippi, the whole
New York press, people and Chamber of Com
merce, backed by the New York Legislature,
would demand an appropriation for its removal

GEx. CUSTER reports from Fort Abraham
Lincoln, Dakota, under date of February 35,
that printed circular was being distributed
from Bozeman, Montana, among citizens in the
vicinity of Fort Lincoln, inviting them to join
what is styled "The Wagon Road and Pros
pecting Expedition" The circular states that
the expedition will take supplies for six
months, and will have twenty-five thousand
rounds of ammunition extra and three pieces
of artillery. Bozeman is the starting point and
Tongue river valley the country to be pros
pected. The expedition Is advertised to move
this month. tits the opinion of Gen. Custer
that If allowed to start this expedition will
embarrass proposed military operations, and
prec,pitate dificulties with the Indians. The
report has been forwarded to the Secretary Of
War for his consideration. ~
The country which It is proposed to explore
Is partly in Wyoming Territory and partly In the
Sioux reservation. Two expeditions Of SINH
lar character have already been prevented from
invading this country, and IL = believed that
the Government viii use means to prevent this
one from starting. Ths critical condition OF
Indian afIairs, especially in the Sioux country,
would undoubtedly justify the Govcrnnae,s in
using force, u necessary, toprevent the moviug

MARK TWAIN IN ENGLAND.

Charels Warren Stoddard in a recent
letter from Liverpool to the san Francis
co Chronicle has the following reference
70 Mark Twain. lecturing EXPERIENCES i'll
England
When Mari, Twain first announced
himself for lecture at Hanover Square
Rooms, some three or four months a5e,
he had but three days to acquaint the
public with the fact iEat he would lecture,
and for one week only. Nobody expected
him 10 draw an audience unless he could
be advertised at least three months il
advance. He drew. He drew better
every night The weeks business was
something astonishing. In this same
hall Dickens used TO read, and when
Mark took it people were turned from
tine door on the last nights of his first
week. 1t was dangerous experiment
to think Of renewing the season after the
interval of a month, during which time
he went to America and returned but
he opened his new season to good busI-
ness, and lectured seven times a week for
three consecutive weeks in London, clos
ing the engagement in the most satlsfact-
DRY manner. Three nights ago he made
his last appearance i'll England at Liver
pool, and was most cordially received.
Here also the American jollity and readi-
ness to take q joke and heartiness of ap-
proval showed itself, as it has on each of
the three evenings in Liverpool. Mark
takes new laurels home with him-Eng-
lish laurels. that are not SO apt to fade
as ours. He is certainly to be congratu-
lated on his decided and uncommon sue
cess as lecturer in England.
