OHIO RIVER NAVIGATION.
Probable Transportation This
Ycar-..Dcepening OF the Ohio
Channel.

h'fODNDle tFnuStOFtullOu AnlS
Year--.Dcepening Of the Ohio
Channel.
The following is the conclusion OF the
report OF the Committee on River Naviga-
ton made to the Board OF Directors Of
the Cincinnati Board OF Trade, on Mon
day, which was approved:
Especially may we expect another large
increase in transportation by river OF one
Of the Southern States'staple productions
to.wit: The sugar crop OF Louisiana,
which at the close OF tho war in 1865 was
IS, 900 hogshcads, in 1878 $4,000 hogs
heads, in 1874, $4,000 hogsheads, the
estimate for 1875 being 100000 hogsheads
Of sugar and 10000 barrels Of molasseS.
The planting for 1876 is large, and with
continuation OF present favorable pros.
poets the crops Of this year will show
further increase. That this produce can
be carried better and cheaper by river
than byrail was demonstrated this season
in the fact that when the steamboats, put
frcights down to twenty cents per hun.
dred pounds, railroads withdrew their
competition. The increase in the trans
portation Of coal and iron ores during the
past few years has been remarkable, and
we believe we are safe in saying that
the coal and iron carried upon the
Ohio river exceeds in tonnage that Of
the entire transportation Of twen-
iy.iive years ago. Towboats built cx-
pressly for this trade have not only ia.
creased in number, but largely in power
and capacity. The Oakland and the
Ajax, for example, have taken to New
Orleans safely, in a single tow, exceeding
10000 tons OF coal, and the new boat,
Joseph B. Williams, is confidently esti.
mated fully competent for tow Of 10000
tons. The great value Of the coal trade
within and OF itself, and it being so abso.
lutely indispensable to manufactures Of
every description, makes its cheap trans
portation Of vital importance. The i'm.
portancc and value Of the river as n
means OF transportation is by no means
diminishing, but is steadily increasing,
quite as rapidly Us any other department
OF trade or commerce in our section. BY
the act Of Congress OF June %, 1874, the
Jurisdiction OF the Lighthouse Board
was extended over the western rivers,
and within the past two years great ben.
eiits and aids have given to navigation
by placing signal:lights at all the difficult
channels Of the river. The Government
has also been active in removing obstruc.
tions, and the navigation OF the river il
now much safer than formerly. With
the fostering care Of the Government, so
well begun, continuing to meet the de-

The Only Way TO Conquer Dys-
pepsia.

1t is perfectly prCpOsterOus to introduce pcpsin
and other artificial solvents into the stomach In
the expectation that they will assist digestion by
acting on the food itself. They will not. Nor is 1t
possible thus TO overcome dyspepsia. The only
way to conquer that disorder, and prevent the nut
mCrous diseases and disabilities which II asSurelly
provokes, Is to renew the activity Of gastric action
by strengthening the stomach. lIostetter's stom-
ach Bltters eradcates tho most inveteratC forms Of

TIE SILVER QUESTION. ABRoAD.-The
huctuation in the value OF silver has q
more practical bearing for Europe even
than for us, and especially for England.
Silver is and must be the currency OF
India and China, where there arc vast
populations and vast aggregate OF re-
tail transactions at prices SO low that n
gold coinage OF great extent is out OF the
question. Hence all the transactions OF
those countries are in silver, their remit
tances to London are in silver exchange,
the relations Of the English and Indian
colonial finances are in silver, Indian
coupons and dividends mean silver, and
the Oriental business world is a silver
world. When silver declines in value in
gold 8! pence to the ounce in four years,
or nearly IA per cent, u depreciation has
taken place in the currency OF hundreds
Of millions Of people just equivalent to
the depreciation in our currency when
gold is quoted in New York at ll6. A
lluctuation OF two pence per ounce in
the quotations Of silver ut London within
fortnight is more serious derange-
ment Of commercial and financial values
aud transactions between Europe and the
East than n lluctuation'of per cent in
the gold premium at New York is upon
the business OF this country. The Lon
don NcRs says:
Not only is the matter very grave one
for the Indian government, but the ex-
element in the mercantile community
connected with the East increases At each
new stage Of the depression. II is the
literal truth that for the moment the
whole trade with India and China is dis
organized by this depreciation in silver.
Merchants are afraid to ship goods, be.
cause prices in India and China do not
rise at once to correspond with the fall in
the exchanges; and merchants and bank.
ers in the East attempting to make re-
mittances home find there are no bills,
and they must purchase goods. The
whole trade in the East is consequently
curtailed, and the change has distinct
effect in depressing Manchester and Llv-
erpool.
So general is the alarm that Mr.. Dis.
raeli proposes to appoint select com.
mittee Of Parliament TO investigate and
suggest remedies, the craftsmanship OF
which will DO offered to Liberal, Mr..
Groschen. Meantime, the discussion OF
the phenomenon occupies the public
mind good deal. The efforts OF
European countries to demonetizc silver
are thought to have been over estimated,
and tho depreciation is attributed to u
gradual decline in the Eastern absorption
Of silver for the past ten years, coincident
with the extraordinary yield OF the
Nevada mines. Whether the dcprccta'
ton is permanent, or only temporary,
like the great rise in coal and iron, few
years ago, is worth investigating. Ernest
Seyd, n London authority on the subject
who predicted decline, holds that the
metallic currency OF the world has been
inflated in % years from 81 ,O0O,OOO,OOO
to Gl ,4OO,0O0,OOO, and that there has been
prodigious initiation OF values and ex-
pansion Of enterprise concomitant, which
has got to come to the ground, II the
decline in silver goes much further.
seyds prophecy seems to agree with
Isaiah's, that "wherC there were a thou

THE history OF the creation, as told in
Genesis, is dissected most closely by Gus
taye d'Eichthal in work lately publish
ed in Paris. He shows that the sky,
which is at first represented as created
"in the beginning" does not appear in the
order Of creation till the second day; that
two distinct acts OF creation, the separa-
ton Of sea and land and the appearance
OF vegetables, are united in the work Of
the same day, like the creation Of beasts
and man on the sixth day; the existence
OF vegetables is made to precede the crea-
ton OF the sun, the source OF their life;
and the light and darkness are divided
from one another Immediately after the
creation Of the light has been already
mentioned. These and other peculiarities
lead d'Eichthal to conjecture that the &C.
count MS We have it has undergone trans
position and addition, and therefore, evil
IDENTIFY believing his own work OF that sort
to be as respectable as anybody's, he pro.
ceeds to cut and slash the fragment until
he gets what he thinks the original text;
eight strophes, each strophe containing
two stanzas. One Of his changes any one
may try the effect Of; 1T is simply placing
verses 1918 between verses 8 and 0. he
finds traces Of Persian origin in the &C.
count OF the creation OF light, by redac.
tor Of the primitive poem in the days OF
Ezra. But perhaps this person, and the
rest OF us, had better wait for George
Smith to finish his Assyrian findings be-
fore there are any more theories adj
vanced on the subject.

It is understood that Mr.. a. Hart has re-

Ing Communication citizens have more
than once taken pains to utterly disclaim
him as representative. Some of them have
al the same time declared that they did not
countenance the claim for German repre-
sentatiOn on the School Board, as they held
themselves all 10 be American citizens, and
wished to be recognized solely In that way.
They could not see why there should be
German representation on the School Board
more than an Irish, or Scotch, or French, or
Italian, or sectarian representation. PrOba-
bly, they yet entertain the same views, but
we would suggest to them that II a German

see to IL that he is OF the right stamp. There
Is no lack OF German-Americaa citizens,
who, by their integrity, erudltion, intelli-
genee, and business capacity, would be valu-
able acquisitions to the School Board. If a
representative German is 10 be appointed let
him be selected from this class.

James Parton, who recently figured in a
peculiar matrimonial venture, is out with a
suggestion In reference TO the nomination of
candidates for ONCE. He wants these nom
nations to come directly from the people,
and TO this end would have them express
their preference at the ballot box. Arrange
the polls, he says, so that each Of the great
parties, and each Independent party may
have Its special table and boxes, with the
usual officers and local committee In at
tendance, all carefully regulated by law.
Then let every citizen OF the United States
have chance to indicate his choice for
President, and let the two candidates OF each
party receiving the highest number of votes
be declared the nominee of that party. II
Mr. Parton would go that far why not go a
little farther and declare the person receiving
the largest number of votes duly elected?
This would be killing two birds with one
stone and saving considerable expense and
trouble.

cur wise people at Washington business will

complaint of a scarcity Of fractional cur.
Iency is becoming quite general aud is the
result or the suspension OF WORK by the Blu.
Teau OF Engraving and Printing. The edict
las gone forth, however, that no more such
currency will be printed, and that silver
coin will b Issued to supply its place. There
will be considerable delay in the issue of
OF silver, and, meanwhile, almOs every sec
tion OF the country will feel this scarcity of
small change. II would have been wiser to
have made appropriations to continue the
printing of the currency until the Treasury
was fully prepared TO issue the coin In its
place, II that is TO be the programme. A
scarcity of small change is a serious evil in
business community.

Sayles j. Bowen has emerged from the re-
TRACY he took upon the collapse OF his
Greeley venture. and is working with some
industry TO be sent as a District delegate to
the Cincinnati National Republican Con-
yentioD. His cid lieutenant, the staIwart
Perry Carson, carried the old II tn and 18th
legislative districts for Bowen In gallant
style Monday night, and 1t remains to be seen
whether he will succeed as well In other
parts OF the District. But the enthusiastic
Carson, in his eloquent recitals OF what
Bowen as delegate can do for his District
friends, should not promise too much. The
fact is, a delegate from this District to the
Republican National Convention is purely
ornamental affair, having no vote, and
nothing but the barren honor OF a seat In the
hall.
