ARKANSAS lNVESTIG GATIoN-The re.
port Of the majority Of the Congress

temperate and Just review Of the po
litieal and social condition of that
State. The committee fully recognize
the validity of the election Of lS1 t
and Of the new constitution, and say
that there is no apparent reason why
the Federal authorities should inter
iere, because peace prevails and the
people are satisfied with their local
government. The minority report,
signed only by Mr. Ward, Of Illinois,
views the matter in a different light.
He considers the present State govern
ment an usurpation, and says that the
Legislature is cndeavoring 10 pass
laws which viii practically restore
slavery or drive all cOloled people

RIVER N,r1a.rrox.-Ne have long

RIVER NAyIG4TIoN.-We have long
contended that there was no insupper-
able difficulty in the way Of making
the Columbia River navigable from
its mouth TO It's confluence with the
Snake River. What the Government
is now doing for the Illinois River is a
case in point. In 1873 Congress ap-
propriated 100000 for the improve
meut Of tie Illinois River. This money
was mostly used for the construction
of a lock at q point on the river known
as Copperas Creek, the work being
under the supervision Of Govern
ment Engineer. The State made a
further and larger appropriation for
the same work. The estimated cost
of the lock, with the necessary dams
at the point mentioned, is S395,Sl3.
At the completion Of the work the
largest class Of steamers will be able
to ascend the Illinois River ninety
miles further than they now go-that
is, boats drawing not more than six
feet of water can go to La Sale at all
seasons OF the year when the river IS
free from ice. The engineer also es-
Inmates that the total cost for making
the Illinois River navigable for large
boats, from lis mouth TO La Sale, a
distance of 225 miles, at 81 ,350, ,000.
This will secure free navigation all the
year round. The engineer concludes
his report as follows:
In nav opinion, there can lie no route Sc
! ltcted IN this State where the same amount
Of money could be expended, which will pro-
duce such general beneficial results, and es-
yecially 10 the agricultural interests, as the
completion Of the improvement Of the Illinois
River. Il will then become the great regu-
later Of rates Of freight in the vicinity of its
/ borders, and have general influence through
out The whole State. To demonstrate this,
It Is only necessary to refer TO rates estab-
! lished By two Of the great railroads Of the
State, from Peoria 10 Chicago. during the
! last four months. Their rate on grain be-
tween ihese places-a distance Of 100 miles
has formerly been 20 censs per 100 pounds,
but in August or September it was reduced
to 10 cents per 100 pounds, or 6-l0 per
bushel on corr. This is less than half the
price that other railroads charge for the same
distance when there Is no water competition.
