THAT gigantic undertaking, the tun-
mel under the English. Channel, IS at
length in a fair way of accomplishment.
The French Minister Of Public Works
has Just laid before the Assembly a bill
to declare of public utility the con-
strution of a railway under the Channel
between England and France, and to
approve Of a convention, signed on the
10Th January, 1875, between the Minis
ter of Public Works and n Michel
Chevalier, the latter representing a
company IN course Of formation for the
concession, without subEention or guar
antee Of interest, of the said tunnel
railway. The enormous capital reqGir-
ed viii be forthcoming, and it Is eI'
pected that operations viii soon COM
mence. Engineers regard the work
with great interest and favor.

an oPESING FOR GENTUs.

The passage Of the Civil Rights bill
affords a fine opening for some enter
prising Yankee to invent the long
promised Flying Ship, which must
ultimately supersede ali other means
of locomotion. Hurry up the balloons,
boys! Land and water have been
placed under a black embargo, but
thank our lucky stars, the air remains
as free as God made it. Public con-
veyanees on land and water must sub
NIT with the hotels and theatres, but
aerial navigation is left untramelled.
Happy aeronauts, only class Of Amer
lean travellers now allowed to choose
your company! If We would escape
the unimagined horrors Of Civil Rights,
we must 90 up in a balloon, boys"

yOTEuEFOR NONSENSE.

The immediate attention Of the Leg
islature is called to the following from
the NetU Orleans Times of the 18th
instant:
"In letter published in another column An
drew johnson fays that he put his trust in the
people, but he doesn't say how much II cost in
greenbacks TO get the shelby county, Tennes-
sse, delegation, numbering about fifteen, 70 stick
10 him from first 10 last nor does he state that
lie Unanswered a written pledge from them be-
fore their election 70 support him, but such was
tie case, nevertheless, and It said that II cost
him something Ike ten thousand dollars to
work that delegation alone.
a committee Of investigation or in
quiry is IN order. Neither Mr.. john
son nor the Shelby delegation can af-
ford to rest quietly under such charge
as this-Mempbis Appeal, Feb. %.
We are a bit surprised that our
Memphis contemporary should pay any
attention to such an idle story, evolved
from his own '.true inwardness" by
some penny-a-liner, who knows so little
Of his subject that he numbers the
Shelby delegation at "abOut fifteen"
In the course Of a long career, Mr..
johnson has been confronted with
many and varied. charges, sel6shness,
cowardice, party treachery, agrarian-
ism, tyranny and even constructive
murder; but all, including his bitterest
personal and political. enemies, lave
frankly conceded that be is money
honest, a virtue peculiarly rare in
these times. During the last eT-
hausting Senatorial canvass, it is
very possible that he may have kept
'1ittIe brown Jug in one corner Of No.
5, and we should not be surprised if
calling friends helped to empty 1t. If
that be bribery, make the most Of 1t.
But for the Legislature to entertain
seriously such a charge as the appeal
quotes from the Nelg Orleans Times
would be as absurd in the Investigators
as it would be unjust to the Shelby
county delegation and to Mr. johnson.
That body has more important work for
the short term left it, than to hunt up
and hunt down all the idle newspaper
paragraphs that may be floating between
the Lakes and the Gulf.

REPUBLICAN DECENTRALIZATION IN
NEW HANIPS HIRE.

The Republicans in New Hampshire
are IN an exceedingly unhappy con-
dition. The corruptions Of the ma
tional Administration had so disguised
the honest voters Of the party that it
became necessary to put plank IN
their political platform repudiating
Grant for a third term, and this has so
enraged the man IN the White House,
that not a finger viii be hfbedin Wash
ingtOn to secure the success Of the paI-
ty in the coming election, nor viii a
dollar be contributed from the public
funds. It is even doubtful if the
Portsmouth Navy Yard viii be utilized
as a vote mandatory. Besides all
this, violent quarrels have broken out
among the Republican leaders in the
State, which promise to disgust sensi-
be people with the whole set.

AN IMronTANr STRIKE. The weavers and
carlers i'll the Fall River, Mass, mills
have struck, and the effect will be very
unfortunate. This small New England
city is great manufacturing power.
There nre forty-three cotton mills in Fall
River, with an Incorporated capital of
SD, 743,0O0, II probable investment of
S3O, ,0ilo,0 900, continuing .25S, sos xpindlcs
and 29,SG5 looms. The latest statistics
report the total number of mills in the
United States rs 8l7, containing 1876, ,975
looms and 9,4l5,383 spindles, manufact
turing sos, ,0O0, 600 yards of print cloth
annually. Of this total, New England
has 489 mills, with 148, 1879 looms and
1883, 1863 spindles, yielding 481, 900, 600
yards of print cloths per annum. Fall
River has more than one-eighth Of all the
spindles In the country, or one-sixteenth
of the total in New England, and it
manufactures over one-half of the entire
product of print cloths. When the mills
nra in full running time they employ
1000 hands, using l35, 900 bales cotton
yearly in the manufacture of $50, 900, 600
yards of cloth, and their monthly paw
roll amounts TO over $500, ZOO. ALI this
is the outgrowth of the first cotton fac.
tory built in 1918, that began operations
with 896 spindles.

NonTu AND SOUTH. In the New York
Herald, Of tho 18th, appears rcmarku-
BILE letter from gentleman--AIr. Julian
Allen-who has recently returned from
trip Of observation South, tcstifying in
the interests of truth and Justice to tho
accuracy of the descriptions of the spo-
liations which have been visited ON it..
This gentleman snys:
''Tho people Of tho South. by occupa-
ton tillcrs of the SOIL nre naturally more
confiding than we in tho North, who aro
chasing for the almighty dollar regard
less of any other consideration-a senti-
ment which has, so corrupted us that we
have become crafty, sharp and at n very
low grade of morality as well as religion
While the whole Of us nre bnd enough
there nre still degreoH of deprnvity, and
the lowest of our people, soon after tho
war, rushed upon those unfortunate
Southerners with MI the rapacity of hun
CRY wolves after dying animal, de-
cciving the colored people. bctrnying
and despoilins the whites. They found
n ready means of cnriching themselves
to such an extent TINT it seems now MS if
tho spoliators could do no moro than to
rob the dead Of tho pennies to cover
their eyes, and kick the corpses because
they had only two optics apiece"
Ho is equally emphatic in designating
as the chief instrument of the wrong
done the South the administration of
President Grnnt, and showing that the
North i'll similnr circumstances would
never hive submitted to it. We quote
again:
'"ThnnA Heaven, the people Of the
North and South are finding out, though
already so much damage is done, that to
bring prosperity once more homo to all
this country, more especially to the
South, where they neod it most, we must
know each other, know cach others
wants and exert ourselves honestly in
the matter to protect it, be it white or
black Justice. One unfortunate and
mighty drawback to prosperity Mt pre-
sent anywhere in this Union is that tho
administration of President Grant is Mt
enmlty with tho South and shuts its ewes
to the true needs of the Southern pco-
pie. ] am convinced of such facts by
my own knowledge and the many de-
clarcd assertions of the President on
these subjects and finding the actual
state OF things in tho South. Suppose
| the North had been so unfortunate as to
make IL mistakon rebellion. and we had
lost our wealth, spirits and other things
that go to mako prosperity and happi-
ness, and then swarm of unprinciplcd
robbers should come here and entirely
disrupt MI local affairs, deceive our
laborers, almost melting them to insur-
rection, diAorganizo our quiet, "a the
cnrpet-baggcrs have done South, would
we tamely submit? No! Would we not
donate them II dress that would resemble
u buzzard more than fashionable
Broadway suit? Very quickly we would
do so. Would General Grant attrm ut
to declare martial law? Would he at
tempt TO send soldiers? No. no."

Thanks to Speaker Blaine.

In his speech in Connecticut, Speaker
Blaine, protesting to be apprehensive, of
Il return of the South to control I'M the
affairs Of the country, was really Sshap-
ing his speech 80 as not to run counter
to tho imperious demands of President
Grant. We should think this rather
infra dig. on the part of man who can
think, who claims to have cournge and
who undoubtedly has opportunities. We
can but be thankful to him for what he
says Of the South. Not meant kindly, it
shows possibilities worth thinking about.
With Colorado admitted to the Union,
said MIR. Blaine, the total electoral vote
will be 1863, of which 1856 will be q ma
lority. The South voting rs unit, can
give 1873 votes lenving only AZ to be OBJ
tained out of the 231 that belong to tho
North. The three States of New York,
Connecticut and California can give
these votes. The united South, says the
Nation, liz not yet accomplished; but it
seems not far off, for South Carolina and
Mississippi are the only thoroughly Re
publican States left in that part of the
country, and Mississippi is very uncer-
tain. The st. Louis R,pubHcan, in dis
cussing the questions suggested by
Speaker Blaine, remarks that it is very
bad thing that the old sectional division
between the North md South should be
thus revived, but is candid enough to
admit that of lnte years this wax the con-
clusion to which the policy pursued by
Republicans was leading. Certainly it
was and dosignedly 10. Now that it is
detected to be unwise. to have been
pushed too far to be likely to lead to con-
temning, the discovery is suddenly made
that it is very bad thing To all who
ore concerned about the course of States
South, we venture to say that South Co
rolina beforea great while will be equally
uncertain" as Mississippi. The South
ern States all grayitate necessarily in one
direction.

What We DO and What We Might Do.I

What We Do and What We Might Do.,
Tho Chicago ITmes hns, in reply to
inquiries sont out, received authentic
statements of the present prospects of the
wheat crop in the principal wheat
growing States of tho Northwest. They
are satisfactory and encouraging, both M
to tho breadth sown. as compared with
aast years area and as to tho condition
and appearance of tue winter whent since
tho close of winter. Tho breadth is
greater and the appearance of the fields
fine and thrifty. The young whent has
bcon protected from tho extreme seve-
rity of the weather by the depth of snow
which mas covered it during most of the
winter. Upon the whole, the prospect
is considered good, and n corresponding
good dfeeling and hopefulness are spread
ing into other branchcs of business and
trade. If food be abundant and cheap
requiring less Of earnings to procure it,
there is more for other wants
The estimated export of grain pro
ducts, wheat and corn, md of bacon,
pork, &C., for the year 1874, was $685.
545, ,41G. This is n fine showing, but the
single article OF cotton for the same year,
with "ll the drawbacks to its cult
vation in the South, from bad govorn-
ment, discomfort and political causes,
amounted in vlue} to s211, 223,5SO,
.and if ] IT. had not bocn made the
J. subject of speculation, would have
brought perhaps $4,000, 900 or So, 900, OOO
more. Cotton and grain are tho great
interests and the principal exports, and
favorable accounts Of the latter will tend
to the renewal of hope and confidence in
all other directions. 8 The Southern Guilt
vators of the soil ought to consider their
immense advantages over all others on
this continent The West and North
west, most favored region noxt to their
own. are to bo' congratulated on tho
grain products which they send to swell
the stream of our foreign commerce.
But these are more than equalled by the
cotton from the desolnted South. If to
our cotton crops we added, Us we could,
almost without any additional labor, the
production of our own breadstuffs, pork
bacon, lard, butter, stock, animals, &c, ,
we might almost revel in prosperity
Imagination would be lost in attempting
to picture the results which would be
achieved if this were done, and if to the
production of cotton We should add its
r
home use and export. Our greatest lack
is to know and appreciate our own bless
ings and advantages. We can combine
the productions of both the South,
Northwest, and partially the tropics,
too. And we can double the value of
our staple by New England thrift and
enterprise.
