ELASTIC TRUSS.
THE WEEKLY SUN.
l7z6. NEW YORK. 1876.

Eighteen hundred and seyenty-six is the
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives, the
first Since the war, will be In power at Wash
ington; and the year OF the twenty -tiiird elec
tion of a President OF the United States. All
of these events are sure to be Of great interest
and Importance, especially the two latter: and
all OF them and everything connected with
them will be fully and freshly reported and
expounded in THE SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives.
taking up the line OF inquiry opened years ago
by THE Sun, will sternly and diligently IN
yestgate the corruptions and msdeeds of
Grants administration; and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for new and bet
ter period in our national history. OF all this
THE SUN will contain complete and accurate
accounts, furnishing its readers with early
and Trustworthy information upon these at-
sorbing topics -
The twenty third Presidential election, with
the preparations for 1T, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grants aspirations for third
term OF power and plunder, and still more as
deciding VINO shall be the candidate OF the
party OF Reform, and as electing that candi-
date. date. Concerning an these subjects, those

THE latest advices from Europe 80 to
signify that the Western Powers have
tacitly agreed to stand aloot from the ir-
repressible conflict between the Sultan
and his revolted Provinces. While this
understanding may avoid any war as
between the Western Powers in rela-
tion to the Turkish Provinces, it will
hardly be sufficient to prevent war as be-
tween those Provinces and the Sultan.
The Slavic population Of those Provinces
feel that the Mahommedan population is
bitterly incensed against all the Chris
tian races, and that there is no security
from this hatred but in entire separation
from the Turkish sovereignty. To that
end the Provinces will unqusstionably
form common n league and unite In war
of independence. And when the rugged
issue is forced upon them, we do not be-
lieve that their Slavic kinsmen Of the
elghboring frontiers of Russia will
stand idly by and see them crushed be-
meath the iron heel OF Turkish despot-
Ism.

founded is easy of comprehension. 1t
is simply to so constrict the flow Of the
waters as to compel the current Of the
river itself to cut through the
deposited silt and thus clear for itself
a sufficient channel to the waters
OF the Gulf, How to put this constraint
upon the vast volume of the Mississippi,
so as to make its waters co-workers for
their own liberation, was the question.
And here again one of the seemingly
weakest of instrumentalities is resorted
to for the accomplis shment Of this might
lest of works-the aciLloto, that common
emblem of weakness and instability,
Masonry had been used to control the
Danube, but no masonry could curb the
Mississippi. But the Mississippi itself
had, by its own deposits, provided the
material for directing its channel. On
is delta had sprung up forest OF will
lows covering some thirty square miles of
the land made by the river itself within
the last forty years; and these willows
are now utilized as the means for OPEN
ing the way unobstructed Tor the waters
Of the river, upon which ships of the
heaviest tonnage can ride, with ease and
without danger, to their docks at New
Orleans.
The mode of employing these willows
for that purpose was devised by Capt.
Eads after much study, and his process
has been patented. Without detailing
the whole process, 1t is sufficient here to
say that they are bound together in
| mattresses" of different dimensions.
so that when placed upon each other
| they form sloping sides, like the walls
of pyramid. These masses of willow
are sent into the water on slides, floated
| to their positions, and sunk with stones.
fhe silt of the river gradually fills all
their interstices, and they thus become
unyielding walls upon each side of the
channel; and through the channel, or
chute, thus formed the waters are forced
to take their way, and thus carry out to
sea the mud that has heretofore hindered
their exit.
In this manner the 'jetties," 80 far as
now constructed by Capt. Eads. have
already been the means of carrying out
into the sea more than three millions OF
cubic CARDS of this obstructing mud,
whereby the channel has not only been
Strengthened, but has also been deepened
so that sea going vessels drawing q leet
OF water have passed in safety; whereas
not more than 8 feet could before be
counted on unless at unusual tides.
This work is one of National import
ance; and must prove particularly valu-
able to the Mississippi Valley; as there.
by shipments of our Western produce
can proceed through the mouth of the
Mississippi direct to Europe. II sue
cessfully accomplished, as now seems
certain, it will be one OF the greatest
achievements of engineering science
and skill known to mankind IN all the
annals of the world.

A CoRRECTIoN.-Some very sensible
people, especially in the East, have re-
marked, i'll reference to the nominations,
that Gen. HAYES is good man and hon
est, but not intellectually strong. 1t is
safe to say that such people do not know
Gen. HAYES as we of the West know
aim. But let such people read his
speeches, and they will find them
marked by unusual strength of thought
and clearness of utterance. Not one OF
them can be found that would not, both
as to matter and manner, be worthy oil
he strongest men in the nation. Let
them scrutiliZe his public career, mill
tary, congressional and executive, and
they can not find single error of judg-
ment nor mistake in practical action.
flew men, SO long in public service as
Gen. HAYES has been, can this be said.
The truth Of the matter lies in this,
that many people are prone to mistake
orilliancy tor power, noise for energy
Out HAYES is not noisy. They are apt
to look upon assumption and self-asser-
zion as evidence OF vigor; but HAYES is
unassuming. They too often regard
buster ana hot-headed belligerency as
marks OF strength; but HAYES is cool
headed and calm. They seem to forget
that man may be strong without being
defiant, captious, and quarrelsome; that
ne may be calm and self.reliant, without
being intirm Of will; that he may have a
giants strength without being a brag-
CART and bully. Those who best know
Gen. HAYES know perfectly that his
habitual calmness and selt-reliance OF
manner are the indices of quiet con-
sciousness Of strength, which is not the
less power because it is self-poised and
undemonstratiye on light occasion.
While 1t is not claimed for Gen. HAYES
hat he is endowed with any meteoric
brilliancy Of intellect, it is nevertheless
known by those who know him well that
few men excel him In soundness of judg-
ment or breadth Of thought; and that by
none is he excelled in all the qualities
that go to constitute wise, judicious,
conscientious, and Christian states
man. We say these things not as par.
tlsans; but, as well knowing Gen. HAYES,
we feel that an injustice has uncon-
sciously been done him by prominent
Eastern men towhom he is not SO familiar
ly known, by their undertaking his intel
ectual ability while conceding his per-
feet honesty and purity in both public
and private life.

Times for libel, on the complaint of Nat.

that Mr.. Mckay is public plunderer,
which they, defendants, are prepared to
prove, and that no technical obstacles will

THE Sinclair O'Connor question Is excit-

controversy between Mrs. Sinclair and Mr..
O'Connor, it doubtless rests on both sides.
Mrs. Sinclair may have good reason for
thinking herself wronged, and Mr.. O'Con-
nor may think himself entirely without re-
proach in the highest professional sense
The proceedings Of the New York Bar on
this question will be looked for with inte-
rest. The defence of Mr.. O'Connor against
the charge of Mrs. Sinclair, is an admirable
composition, and will give pleasure to the

FoRTY DAYS OF FASTING.

The forty days Of fasting and abstinence
from worldly pleasures and amusenents
required from her devotses by the Mother
Church. are drawing to a close. Holy
Week, the most solemn period in the his
tory Of the Christian Calendar, has been
doubtless sacredly observed by the pure
and faithful, and the services. in the
churches peculiarly impressive. e
Lent has double use and a double
Significance. 1t compels the members Of
churches to refrain from all worldly pleas
ures for forty days, even if they indulge in
excess in other portions Of the year, and it
gives ample opportunity for. those who
make no professions to secure that rest and
recuperation so very necessary for those
who have suffered from the endless round
Of dissipation pertaining to a gay season.
The Lenten season is time for wholesome
reflections, time to make new vows, and
to create and cultivate new and better
habits. --+ a''
The Easter services commencing to-
morrow will form marked contrast to the
sombre ceremonies that have been the dis
tinguishing features Of the Lenten season.
The leaders of society and their followers,
whether members of the Church or other
wise, who have been compelled to retire
from their rounds Of gaiety, pleasure and
amusement, will reappear upon the scene
to enter with new sest into the giddy whirl
from which they have been temporarily
debarred. Even the Church music, the
lights, flowers and the decorations of the
altars will all be in keeping with the joy
ousness of the Easter season. With
the commencement Of the Easter festivi-
ties, We doubt not a majority Of our fair
readers Of The HERALD, who wsreamong
the most devout of the Lenten worship
pers, and most regular in their attendance
upon the Church services, are even now bu.
silly engaged in discussing and preparing
fora spring and a summer campaign. Easter
Sunday will bring from their hiding places
many new and elegant costumes and spring
bonnets, harbingers Of the delightful season
upon which we are now about to ente., and
will be the signals for many gay and happy
weddings. = III
