A NUISANCE.

We me: IN the darn in tile river al

small app opriations' Have been mad,
for the pro secutisu of tlris important
work, but Vt present it has come to a
dead lock. 1t is now only Il nuisance
and an obst ruction TO navigation. 1t
prevents the passage of boats except
during high water and increases the
rate of freig. 1T. We speak from ex-
perience in this matter, as our new
press was ten days reaching us from
Geneva. We urge upon all our citi-
zens the inn Ortance of making
united effort at the axtra session of
Congress, to be held in June, to OBJ
tain small n, 3propriation to COM
plete the work, or to tear it down,
As it would rep lire more money to
tear out the work than to com iete it,
the latter is unde. 1iatay tile cheaper
plan of getting rid of the difficulty.
The efforts made by Senators Davis
and Hereford, and by Hon. Chas. j.
Faulkner, were disregar,led by that
august assembly, known as the Sen
ate of the United States, ands, unless
all the citizens of this p Gtion of the
.Gs.are bring tc bear heavy pressure
upon Congress, the workonay] remain
in it's present condition fdr years, be
ing a drawbac k to navigation, a pos
tive loss to the Government and a
nuisance to every one concerned.

HARD TINES"

There is nothing new in the phrase
''hard times" 1t was in use long be-
fore CHARLES DICKENS Published his
popular novel, whilst in every age the
emergency indicated by the phrase
has been suffered. All nations have
latterly had to endure series of hard
times. There has been depression
of business. Among the laboring
classes in particular money has been
scarce, ard in consequence of this
pivation and hardship have been en-
dured Tn ere is hope for the better.
I AZ silver lining is seen upon the cloud.
The general testimony is that money
is- becoming more plentiful, that trade

and that, cons gently, with more work
there will be more money. Let us
hope that it viii be so and everywhere.

There has, been a W. ant of economy

Is the employment of squad of
Federal soldiers to maintain Packard
in office any less unconstitutional
than the employment of another squad
to uphold Chamberlain And if
Hayes and his Cabinet are convinced
that they have no right to NEEDLE with
South Carolina affairs, why send a
Commission to see whether the troops
should be withdrawn from New Or
leans The answer is short and sim
pie. Hayes had more votes than
Chamberlain in South Carolina, and
fewer than Packard in Louisiana.-N.

1t appears that the wicked partners
of Deacon Richard Smith took advan-
tage Of that truly good mans absence
in Washington, where he is engaged
in pressing the claims of. Field Marsh
al Murat Halstead, to carry the field
of their depraved operations beyond
the limits of his newspaper office.
Sunday was the first of April, and an
unusual number of ingenious and
successful hoaSes" were prepetrated
in Cincinnati. The entire Board of
Aldermen were drawn away from the
enjoyment Of their Easter sermons by
bogus invitations to go on a junket
to Lexington. Free excursion trains
and free steamboat excursions were
advertised in the columns of Deacon
Richard Smiths organ. Nearly all
Of the undertakers in the city receiv-
ed dispatches directing them TO take
charge of a corpse which would arrive
ON a certain train, and not less than
seven hearses and three black wagons
were collected in front of the station
when the train came in. Depravity
held high carnival in Cincinnati, and
there is reason to believe that the
greater part of the foolish hoaxes
were deliberately planned by Deacon
Richard Smiths wicked partners for
their own diversion, and to throw dis
credit ON the newspaper of their truly
good co-laborer. 1t is evident that
one or two things must happen Eli
ther the remaining wicked partners
must follow S. Rome Reed into exile,
or Deacon Richard Smith must aban-
don his generous efforts to promote
Fild-Marshal Murat Halstead.-N.

SOUTH CAROLINA LIBERATED

On the End inst Mr.. Hayes Cab
met reached a decision in the South
Carolina case, and Secretary McCra-
nv has been directed to prepare the
necessary order for the withdrawal of
the troops from the state house at
Columbia, and sending them into
camp This order will end the reign
of the carpet-baggers, and liberate
the white men of that unfortunate
State. The firm unyielding stand
taken by Governor Hampton has
been too much for the diplomacy of
the carpet bagger clique The news
caused great rejoicing throughout the
State of South Carolina, and
has been freely shared by the lovers

THECAPIYAda.

fhe readers of the New DOMINION
are, perhaps, we'll aware of ahe fact,
THAT the subject of permanently aocat-
isny the Capital Of the State of West
Virginia, will in short time slse sub
rrittted to the vote of the State. There
:sarc three cities named in the biz pro
3iding for the submission of the 9nes-
~atisss to the votes of TAG people. The
three places to be vated forare Clarks-
burg, Charleston and Martinsburg-
Why any person, except dew people
in the counties Of Morgan, Jefferson
and Berkeley, should yyete for Mar
tinsbnrg is more than we ican see.
The Capital while asSVlleelingiis near
enough outside the limits of the State,
hut would he nearer than ever outside
the linntssofnthe State if located in
the little piece Of detached territory
fhat.Gpuld contain it if locatedA at
IAiaysinsburg. Charleston is much
more central, yet we never thought
that was the best place for the CaEN
tai. but when once located we thought
it should have remained, fofits re-
moyal has occasioned great expense
tn the State. as well as vexation anq
trouble to our citizens. The citizens
ofthe State are now called upon +
settle this question finally, and sh'
voters should canvass this question
carefully and vote for the place which
will best subserve the interests OF tn
State. Clarksburg is about as cen
trai as Charleston and will accommo
date more Of the citizens of the State
SO far as accessibility is concerned
than Charleston would. On the who'll
we think more Of the people OF thl
State would be accommodated by Il
eating the Capital at Clarksburg tina
at Charleston. This should settle tt
nuestion in favor of Clarksbnrg. b.
xhere;is an especial reason, though
nav bea selfish one, why the citizel
a Monoagahs, and in fact all Il
northern portion ofthe State shou
vote for Clarksbnrg in preference
Charleston, and that is, that they "
be able to visit the permanent sc
