from It's Washington correspondent con-
tanning the substance Of Mr.. Eads' re-
marks. He asserted the entire feasibility
of securing navigable depth oil twenty
feet Of water at all seasons OF the year from
Cairo to New Orleans. And he also as
sured the committee that, by a proper
correction of the river, the alluyial lands
on both sides of the river could be I'M
questionably saved from overflow with
out the aid of levees, simply by lowering
the fiood-line of the river.
The method he suggests tor its i'm
provement is the reduction OF the river
to an approximate uniformity with thu
present width OF the bends or parts o
the river in which the entire volume

at each end Of these shoals the suriac
slope Of the river is sleeper than in til

centrated, and that by reducing til
width Of the river at the shoals we ne

THE GAR ALEXANDER.
His Proposed Ahdication ana Its Pra5a
HE Results.

We find in the Cincinnati Enquirer
the subioined sketch Of the Czar Alex
ander, the rumors Of whose intended
abdication have reached our readers by
the cable.
Those who have followed European
politics will read it with interest, as the
retirement from the scene Of action Of a
man welding so much power cannot
but materially affect the equilibrium Of
Europe, which, at the best, is always
uncertain
His career has been singular, and
there are many contradictory features
In his character. Born in 1913, his
mother was the sister OF the present
cradle upward distilled into his mind
the deepest attachment to the land Of
her own birth But his father, stern
and essentially military in all his
predictions, trained him in the
severest school of the camp and
the barracks Against this he pro-
tested in vain, until his health gave way
under the irksome severity Of the
regime, and in 18l he was himself sent
to Germany, where he married Mari,
daughter Of the Grand Duke Of Hesse-
L..
heightened his German predictions,
for Alexander Is very affectionate in all
family relations. On his return home
he devoted himself to efforts to ameIi-
crate the condition Of the Fins and
improve their education. He was Chan
cellor OF the University OF Finland, and
the time he spent there served to keep
him .aloof from the old Russian party
imbued with jealous hatred OF the Ger
mans and ever thlrsting TOR aggrandlZe-
ment. He opposed the Crimean war,
and when his father died, in March,
1856, he did all in his power to for
ward the negotiations for peace. No
sooner was it signed than he dis
missed Nesselrode and appointed
Prince Gortschakoff Chancellor His
first active intervention in Polish affairs
was to issue a proclamation Offering
pardon to many Of the insurgents or
1880 and 1881, but both the insurrectlons
which broke out afterward he put down
with a relentless hand, with hand
heavier even than unhappy Poland had
ever felt before, and in 1868, BY an I'm
perial edict, finally abolished The last
remnant Of her existence a. q nation
His inconsistency showed itself also in
the help he gave the Fins and his enan-
cipation Of the serfs upon one side, and
the fanatical vigor with which he has
supported the Greek Church, to the
virtual exclusion Of all others, and the
oppression Of the Jews which he has
permitted to continue.
In the Franco-German war his synpa-
thies we're almost actively with Bis
narck and Moltke. Those Of his son
and successor have always been French.
The Grand Duke, who, if the Gar re-
tires. will succeed him, is the leader OF
the old Russian party filed with hatred
Of Germany and admiration OF France.
OF a hot-headed and violent tempera-
nent. power will not be long in his
hands before he applies it to the further
ance Of those principles whose advocate
he has ever been. Alexander Is man
Of peace; his son man OF war.

4 Pot Of several Millions what j
Means

/ Much has it been spoken Of lately in
this city, and many have been the
promises Of lively developments shortly
to appear, which have been made, but
az to what we're the real merits Of the
case, we confess to have been altogether
in the dark until very recently, and
now we do not profess to be thoroughly
enlightened, but still we have a clearer
idea Of it, and as we have all along sus-
pected, there is a job In it. II District
Attorney Beckwith would only speak
out and tell the reason Of his riding
around town recently in disguise, nose
ing out matters In the cotton cases, we
should be better enlightened. But as
Beckwith won't do that, we will give
the idea we have formed Of it from the
information we have gathered.
OF course brother-in-law Casey is in
terested- Casey, J. +. West, r. Boomer
and Irwin Legislative brokers and lob
byists under the Warmoth regime; r.
win, by the way, a person with consid-
cradle influence over Casey Marcy and
several others are one ring working
against Bouchard, Shannon and their
crowd, forming the other side. The
Elgee cotton case is by no means the
only matter Of interest in these cotton
cases 1t appears there is pot Of
several millions collected into the
United States Treasury by the Internal
Revenue Collector in this District in
1865 and 1866, from the Is per cent tax
levied by the Government at that time, |
but which was subsequently declared
Illegal This ID a nice plum to go for by
the patriots ofthe West, Casey, Boomer
stripe
The Elgee matter, which is altogether
q different one, but one in which there
has apparently been some foul play on
the part Of the Shannon crowd, affords I
q most excellent opportunity to raise a
tremendous hue and cry Of fraud, which I
will badly scare not only anybody who |
may have a claim against the fund lay /
ing in the treasury, and lead them to be /
very willing to sell out cheap; but as
many Of these claims have already come t
into the possession Of those who are T
being prosecuted for the didos of the /
EIgee matter, don't you see how very 4
lovely it is for Brother-in-l law Casey, 4
West and that ring? And, withal, how
very nicely Beckwith can play IL to APP
pear TO be the Jealous, faithful defender
II his Government from fraudulent
claims? for Beckwith has no tracks to
:over up, you know. Oh no, not he.
Crooked cotton is big thing. You bet.
