THE WILL OF CAPTAIN WARD.

The late Captain E. B. Ward, of Detroit,
who is well known in this section from
his connection with the Louisiana Central
railroad enterprise, was Spiritualist, and
disposed of his large fortune quite unsat-
isfactorily to his legal heirs. His sons
have instituted proceedings to set his will
aside, because, it is alleged, he made it
out at the dictation of the spirits of one
Robert Lyon and near relative named
Clara, from whom he received communi-
cations in writing, and afterward informed
Henry Slade, noted New York medium,
of the fact. The sons hold this to be un-
questionable evidence that the father was
of unsound mind, and incapable of exc
cutting valid testament. When the case
was called in the Circuit Court of Detroit
the other day it was postponed because
the illness of the medium rendered it i'm
possible for him to attend. The case will
be of interest to Spiritualists and others
curious to hear more of the latter-day rev.
elations from the world beyond they claim
to receive.

MONOPOLY.

There was thrill of delight extending
through commercial circles the other day,
when new Richmond entered the field,
and cable rates went downtown to some
thing near reasonable limit. The Direct
cable was successfully laid, and its man.
ayers announced they were ready for busi-
ness. Dispatches were forwarded across
the lines at twenty-five cents per word.
The Anglo-American Telegraph Company
had put down its rates to crush its COM
petitor, and at last self-interest operated
as public benefit. But great change
has taken place. A defect has been dis
covered in the Direct cable. 1t is mo-
mentarily, at least, crippled, and yes
terday, by previous announcement, the
Anglo-American Company Increased its
rates from twenty-five cents to one
dollar per word. Of course this is
both an unreasonable and exorbitant
charge; but, then, we are at the
mercy of monopoly which under.
stands its peculiar advantage, and mer-
words are insufficient to drive them from
their position. If, however, q grinding
monopoly tends to create new cable com
panies and new cables with reasonable
rates, justice may overtake its arrogance,
and its days Of extortion be ended.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-10-06

the whole Union, but there can be no
doubt that the government has the power
to protect the navigation of this national
highway.
1t seems beyond question that the river
has shoaled at the head of the Passes
from former depth of forty feet to thirty
feet. Mr.. EaGs, in an interview with a
Tribune reporter, says:
The fact was that the river at the head of
the passes, twelve miles above the place
where the jettes are building, had shoaled
across the entire stream from q depth of
about forty feet, as shown by Talcott's sur
vey made in 1888, to only thirty feet as
shown by the survey of Mr.. Marrinden, as
sistant United States coast survey, COM
pleted last July. In TalcOtt's time forty
feet was the depth at the head of Pass-a-
rOutre and at the Southwest Pass, while
now thirty feet can not be found at the en-
trance of either.
He considers that this effect should be
considered, lest the opponents of his sys-
tenn of improvements might be able to
charge that this remarkable alteration in
the river bed was the result of his opera
tions.
He adds the opinion that the shoaling
is due to three recent crevasses within $50
miles of the head of the passes One is
the Cubitt crevasse, within six miles of
the passes, through which now escapes
2.37 times as much water as flows through
the pass now being jettied. The Jump
crevasse is eleven miles above the passes,
and discharges nearly half as much water
as flows through the jettied pass. These
two crevasses discharge about one-fourth
of the water of the Mississippi. The Bon
net Care crevasse, fifty miles above New
Orleans, has not yet been gauged, but the
combined effect of these escapes is the
shoaling at the pass heads as stated. The
closing Of these crevasses will, it is as
serted, unquestionably restore the forty
feet at the head of the passes.
1t may then become proper that the
government shall close the Bonnet Care
and other crevasses to protect the naviga-
ton from further injury. To concentrate
and convey this water to the Gulf will re-
quire its confinement by levees and closed
crevasses, which will give Individually all
the protection required by agriculture. In
this there may be found an analogy be-
tween the theories of a tariff for revenue
purposes with incidental protection, or a
tariff for the direct purpose of protecting
manufacturers. 1t became matter of
little consequence to the protected manu-
facturer with what intent the tariff was
laid, provided it afforded him the desired
protection. We apprehend our planters
will take the levee either way, and we
only suggest to scrupulous Congressman
that if they doubt the power to build
levee for the direct protection of cotton
and sugar, they may find a warrant for
their vote in building levee for the pro-
lection of navigation, with incidental pro-
lection to the cotton and sugar which
grow under its guardianship.

AN EXAMPLE,

An English co operative cotton manufsc-
turing company at Spartanburg, South Car
olina, has succeeded in interesting the Fall
River, Massachusetts, cotton operatives in
the subject of emigrating to the South to
such an extent that a colony is beng organ
lied to settle near Spartanburg.
The starvation, poverty and slavery to
which the Fall River cotton operatives are
subject, must compel the transfer of labor
and capital to a more genial climate, and
more abundant food and material. To
carry cotton, food and fuel to Massachu-
sets that they may be combined in cloth
by labor and machinery, is of obvious i'm
policy. Why not move the operative to
the raw material and food? The railroad
system is making this transfer, and the
manufacturing industry Of the West,
and especially at Chicago, is in
creasing more rapidly than else
where. During the ascendency Of the
anti-tariff politicians in South Carolina,
no citizen would have teen countenanced
in bringing New England operatives or in
profting by a protective duty on cotton
yarns. The overthrow and dispersion of
this school has allowed com mon sense to
receive some sway, and we have South
Carolina spinning her own cotton. If
Carolina can import these operatives with
good advantage, why may not New Or
leans, which has cotton, food and unem-
ployed operatives, import the machinery
and managers?
We commend the subject again to the
consideration of our fellow-citixens, and
would remind them that the example of an
experiment by South Carolina might safely
be followed without risk of loss by New
Orleans.

THE PRESERVATION OF ORDER IN MIS-.
SISSIPPI,

In order that the peaceful intentions of
the White Liners of our neighboring State
may be more thoroughly understood, we
give the following extract from the Ray
mond Gazette (Democratic):
We learn verbally that there was some
little excitement at Clinton during all of
Friday night last. Gentlemen from that
vicinity, who we're in jackson during the
day, were informed there that the company
of cOlored militia mustered into the service
that day, would that night friday be sent
to Clinton. By ten o'clock that night more
than 200 white men, mounted, were ia Clin-
ton, all from the immediate neighborheod,
and organized for the protection of the
town and the citizens. The militia, how
ever, did not come. Couriers were sent to
jackson early Saturday morning, and on
their return the excitement ceased.
The advice of Attorney General Pierre
pont to Governor Ames, requesting him to
exercise all his constitutional powers for
the preservation of peace and tie security
of life, is being faithfully followed. The
Governor is organizing militia for ser
vice in localities where local magistrates
are powerless without its aid. 1t was only
rumored that body of State troops would
be sent to Clinton, and this, as will be
seen, was the signal for rapid concentra-
ton of the White Liners, and the dis
patching of couriers to jackson. The
purpose Of the excitement" as it is
mildly called, can not be doubted, and
but vindicates the assertion Of the REpuB-
LIcAN, that the loyal men of Mississippi
are invited to new battle-felds to secure
their rights and liberties. Will the or
gans Of the Democracy who applauded
the Attorney General now condemn these
''excitements" by which two hundred
armed men are concentrated on mere
rumor. to ''protect town and citizens from
an imaginary assault by the State militia?
If the Democracy Of Mississippi uphold
such conduct as menace to Governor
Ames. we hope they will be disappointed.
II the peace of Clinton and vicinity re-
quires the presence Of the militia, they
should be sent Let these White Liners
assail them if they choose; they can not
learn too soon the folly of their present
course. When it is made known that an
armed rebellion has reared its head in
Mississippi there will come remedy in
due time. The country will understand
where the responsibility should rest,
beyond the power Of disloyAl men to
