Few of our readers realize the extent O
the Timber trade of our diminutivs neigh
Dor on Mississippi Sonnd. The contigu
GUS country abounds in immense PINE
forests, from which the finest timber il
procured, floated down the Pascagoula
River, and shipped to various European
countries. There is one serious obstacle
which those engaged in the trade have to
contend with, and that is the bar at the
mouth of the river, on which there are
only three or four feet of water, whilst
there is a depth of water in the river
itself of twenty five feet.
With the removal of this obstruction
and the employment Of steamboats, to
bring the timber to the bay, the trade
would be vastly increased. We are glad
to learn hat the General Government has
appropriated s3O,OOD, the State OF Missis-
sippi $4,000. end the citizens of Pascs-
soula So, 900. to effect the removal of this
bar, and that the work will be commenced
early in the fall.
Within the last fifteen months there
have been fifty vessels-most of them
square-rigged-loaded in Pascsgoula Bay
for European ports. These shipments
we're to England. France, Italy. Germany,
and even TO Norway, so famous for its
superior lumber.
About two years ago, when this trade
was languishing at P~ascaeouIa. and most
of the inhabitan Is were, in the neighbor-
hood, without work of any kind. Messrs.
Bsrcier & DeSmet invested largely, con-
structed mills, and gave a new and vigor-
Gus impetus TO the lumber BUSINESS
affording employment to a lsrge number
of deserving people. They are men Of
energy and enterprise, and deserve 10
succeed in their undertaking.
When the bar of the river il removed
and additional facilities for shipment are
thereby secured. Psscagouls will no doubt
soon take rank among the foremost lum.

THE MEXICAN WAR CLOUD.

Washington Special ID New York Times.
The Mexican raids, as they are called,
are receiving from the proper depart
ments all the attention possible. The
War and POstoffice Departments par
ticularly are receiving reports from
their officers. There seems to be only
one course for the Governmental pur-
sue, and that is to make, in proper
manner, protests 70 the Mexican Gov
eminent against the use Of her soil as
a place Of organization and retreat for
marauder5 into the United States. The
raids are not approved by the
Central Mexican Government any
more than the Fenian raids In
to Canada were approved by
the Federal Government. 1t Will be
recalled that the United States were
unable to prevent some.of those raids,
and Mexico Is far less able 10 control
the maraUders on her border. The evil
is continuous and annoying, and the
Government viii take every measure
that promises TO be useful, whether
through the State Department or other
wise, to suppress the disturbances on
the border. Texas ought to catch and
punish the raiders, and the ofenses
committed on her soil can be tried by
her laws, whether the criminals are
Americans or Mexicans; but she is not
able to execute her laws without some
aid. Whatever the army of
the United States can lawfully
do to aid Texas, either by act
ing in conjunction with her author
tiles or indepently, will be done, and if
our troops are fortunate enough to
come in contact with the raiders, a
profitable lesson will be taught them.
But before official action is decided on, |
trustworthy evidence must be obtained
to show whether and how Mexico Is
culpable. If the raiders are Mexicans, |
and make their predatory excursions
from the Mexican country, as the Tex
ans assert, then ultimately there can
be Tut one solution. Mexico must stop
the raids. and Ineffective demands on
our part would lead to war. There is
no reason at present to expect that the
friendly relations between the two gov
ernments will be in any way disturbed
by controversies growing out of the
border troubles, as the Mexican Gov
eminent is anxious to discharge its du-
ties as a nation, and will discharge
them toward the United States if it
has the ability.

1t has been generally supposed that,
after the exposure of the Sanborn In
EQUITIES, the law allowing moieties was
entirely repealed. This proves to be a
mistake. In two departments Of the
public service, if not more, they are
still allowed. The special agents of
the Postofice Department are nearly
all entitled to this demoraizing form
of compensation, and can take their
choice between accepting it or the
brides offered by officials who are will
ing 10 pay for non-exposure. The
largest sums which have been paid to
any person as informer's fee went to.
Anthony Comstoek, the agent of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
who is engaged in preventing the trans
mission of obscene literature. Com
stock claims that all the moieties he
has received go to the Young Mems
Christian Association for useful pur-
poses. The moiety system is still in
force in another branch of the Treasury
service. There is a provision in the
steamboat law which has been so Bit
terly opposed by steamboatmeu, that
gives informers one-half of anypenalty
for failure Of steamboat companies TO
provide any of the numerous patent
appliances which were lobbied into that
bill.

GERmAN CATHOLIC RELIEF.

On the 10Th of May the Central Union
German Catholic Relief Association of the
United States viii meet in annual cOnven-
ton in this city, aud remain insessionfo u
days. This is probably the strongest Cath
Ollie benevolent organization in the coun-
try. Over sixty fOurishing societies, scat
tered all over the United States, belong 10
it, and its membership numbers nearly 10.
600. Its object is TO render aid to neces.
sitOus German Catholics, and lend a help
ing hand to needy emierants as they arrive
on our shores. For the latter purpose there
are agencies established in all the principal
seapOrts Of the country, and, forthe former,
the most perfect arrangements have been
made. It is a colossal Mutual Aid Society,
supported by the stated dues Of its mem
bers, and doing much good. There are
eighteen societies of the organization in
this city alone. The President is Senator
SpannhOrst, Of st. Louis, who has served
eight terms in the Missouri Legislature,
and is now a member of the Constitutional
Convention Of that State.

4 DARK SPELL.
New York Herald.

a very creditable exhibition Of good
spelling took place at Zion Church yes
teriay, in which the contestants were
all c0lorcd students, and we must say
that they acquitted themselves better
than many white scholars. Singular
examples Of exactitude may be noticed.
For instance, one OF them being asked
to spell negro" gave the word in
thirteen letters-thus, 'fellow citi-
zen" Another spelt "Grant" as third
term" - "Wickham" as "whack EN-"
Shakespeare as "Boucicault, April
as December, and the singular noun
'Beecher, in a hard case, respondent
mood, and governed by the verb ''tO
kiss as Jordan is a hard road to
travel" The greatest example Of or
biographical acuteness which was dis
played during the evening was that Of
a Young gentleman who, when asked 10
spell Civil Rights" answered with
Lets all 60 to Wallack's." If our
ooIorcd youth keep on in this way the
time Will come when they viii be
able to spell democrat" in some more
accurate way than rebel"

THE headquarters of the Alabama
delegation was one Of the strongholds
Of the Administration last fall and
winter, first manufacturing outrages,
and, when that failed, ~concocting force
bills. Recently this coterie has been
unfortunate, and the development of
postal frauds threatens to deprive them
of what fat Offices and contracts they
have enjoyed. A special to the NelU
York Tribune informs Us that a special
meeting of the Alabama leaders was
held two or three days ago, at which
the gravity Of the situation was fully
discussed, and it was unanimously re-
solved: First, that Messrs. Jewell and
Assistant Postmaster Tyner, by the
course they were pursuing, were de-
stroying the Republican party; and,
secondly that the good of the party re-
quired their instant removal. 1t has
not been ascertained who was intrusted
with the importantd duty Of reporting to
the President the result Of the meet
ing, but it is probable that he has
learned it before this from the lips Of
Senator Spencer.

SPEAKING of the big ring recently
formed by Pacific railroads through
the influence of Jay Gould, the Spring
field Republican, independent though it
be, looks to a Democratic Congress for
relief, remarking:
The Pacific railroads all seem TO be
combining for their mutual interest as
against those Of the public. The Kan
sas Pacific and the Union Petite, after
long quarrelIng-the one TO maintain
the monopoly Of the Colorado trade, and
the other to keep the through Pacific
business on its whole Ene-have now
made peace on the basis of each bav-
ing its own special desire. The Union
Pacific is to give up seeking the Col
OradO business, and the Kansas Pacific
is to give up the right to prO-rate on
the Union Pacific from It's connection
Herewith, at Cheyenne, vest. The
local roads of the Union Pacific in
ColoradO-the Colorado Central-are
sold to and consolidated with the Kan
sas Pacific for ten millions Of dollars;
their proposed extension to a junction
Of the Union Pacific at Julesburg is
abandoned, aud the Kansas Pacific
Company is to be r~eorganized with some
Of the Union Pacific managers as CO.
Directors. The materials seem to be
gathering for apopClar outc,y, all along
the line, against the Pacific roads; and
it viii not be surprising II they find
the next Congress "a hard road to
travel"
