the trial will not really begin until two weeks

The Mouth of the Mississippi.

The attempt to get a better depth OF
the construction Of ietties or piers which
deepen the water by combining the current
to narrower bounds, appears to be sue
cess 1t is a matter OF great interest to
Maine, which furnishes n large part Of
the tonnage that enters the river from the
sea, and the success Of the plan Will send
many thousands Of dollars into our state.
When once the mouth Of the Mississippi
is open, and satisfactory assurance given
that it will be kept open, the produce
transportation Of the West and Northwest
is certain to undergo a complete revolu
ton. For the last twelve or fifteen years
the river, except for mere local trade
and travel, might as well have been dried

has laid an etfectual embargo upon the
commerce of what nature intended to be a
great continental artery and national high
way. The enormous grain product of the
Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri valleys,
instead of seeking cheap and easy transit
to foreign markets by way Of the river
and the gulf, has been compelled to reach
the Atlantic coast by railway and canal
tedious and expensive route, whose use
can only be justified by imperative necess-
ity The moment the Mississippi can run
unveXed and unobstructed TO the sea, that
moment the laws Of trade ~ suspended

premacy and work out their logical and
inevitable results. Instead of having one

of the Northern lakes, each city. town and

Ellsworth Affairs.

AS there is considerable interest felt in
the recent Ellsworth election, we publish
to-day the inaugural address Of Mayor
Young. We do SO for two reasons-tirst
the affairs of that city, as set forth by its
chief magistrate; second, that having read
the document, they may Judge whether
the American is correct in its statement
that Mayor Young has addressed himself
to the passions and prejudicies of his par
ty, in a petty, demagogical and undigni-
fed manner. and sunk the honorable Office
of Mayor of Ellsworth into the mire of dis
respectful attack and bitter partizanship"
1t will be borne in mind that Mr.. Young
is on his second term, having served in
the same office few years ago, and that
the recollection of his administration is
fresh in the minds of the people of that To-
cality They therefore know the man, and
made their choice deliberately. If he is
as Objectionable as the Republican paper
of the locality represents, what must be
the character of the men over whom he
was elected by such a large majority-the
ticket that the American supported? 1t
must of course follow that there exists a
deep popular disgust with the men who
had controlled the affairs of the city, and
a determination to make a change; that
there were wrongs in some or all Of the
departments, which needed Fighting, and
that the voters of the city looked upon the
Democratic candidate as the man to do it.
Such was the opinion Of 500 voters out Of
927 who recorded an expression at the
polls Really, the shafts aimed at Mr..
Young by the American seems to REBOUND
and wound that paper and its friends
We are willing to concede that the mes
sage is not written with the guarded care
and smoothness Of practiced essaylst,
who recognizes the usefulness Of Talley
rand's motto that words were made to
conceal thoughts. not to express them.
But there are wholesome truths, though
ruggedly expressed, in this document,
which the people Of Ellsworth understand
and appreciate

General Custer, who was before the
Clymer committee recently, explained
satisfactorily why army officers like him
self who knew Of Beiknap's corruption did
not expose him. He called attention to
an order of the War Department dated
March 10, 1873, which, if not especially
designed to shut the mouths of all officers
with regard to the thrifty Secretary's
huckstering of sutlerships and other crook
ed operations was certainly well adapted
to that purpose. This order prohibited
officers from suggesting or recommend
ing action Of any kind to members of Con-
gress, and required that all petitions to
Congress by officers should be forwarded
through the Secretary of War 1t further
required every officer visiting Washington
during a session Of Congress to register
his name at the Adjutant Generals office
upon his arrival, and address to the Adiu-
tant General letter stating fully the pur-
pose and proposed length Of his visit, add
ing the significant injunction that he
should attend strictly and solely to the
business thus reported No order could
nave been more cunningly framed to pre-
vent honorable and high minded officers
who would not willingly wink at bribery
and fraud, even or the part of their SUI
periors, from reportings to members of
Congress any Of the rascalities of cor
rupt administration. General Custer blunt
ly testified that if officers had petitioned
Congress for redress of the post-trader-
ship abuses their petition would have been
pigeon-holed, and probably the officers
would have been pigeon-holed too 1t re-
quired courage to speak thus plainly, even
with Belknap in disgrace, for Grant, who
has sustained his dishonest Secretary all
these years, is still Commander-in-C Chief
of the army. But Custer is brave man.
The Committee are going at the in
vestigation of the corruptions of the Navy
Department in earnest. Over fifty wit
nesses have been summoned. and there is
an evident intention to get to the bottom
Of transactions. The Committee will sit
with closed doors.
Our friends at Dover are anxious
about some silver platers that set up their
little battery in that baiiwick and plated
things for the good people. Bills to the
amount of $500 serve to keep their men,
DRY green since their quiet departure.
