The President and the River and Harbor
Appropriation.
WAsHINeToN, Jan. IL.

4rI-rl WAsHINGToN, Jan. H..
The President to-day sent message
to the House of Representatives in reply
to the resolution respecting the expend-
itures of certain moneys appropriated
last session in the River and Harbor bill,
and inclosinga report from the Secretary
of War on the subject The Secretary
says:
The act was signed on the 14th of August,
and on the same day the President sent
special message to the House, stating that he
did not consider it obligatory upon him to
expend all the money appropriated in the
bill during his term of office. No money
should be expended on works not clearly ma
tional, and that owing to contemplated loss
of revenue, it might be inadvisable to expend
any money upon new works, The princi-
piles enuneiated in this message have gov
erned the Secrctary's action on this subject
in every case presented to him. Immedi-
ately after receiving the bill the Chief
Engineer was directed to ask for statements
from the engineers in charge of works as to
what works could be postponed for the
present, and replies from them recommend
ed the expenditure of about 81, ,500000 of the
appropriation. This reduction was SO slight
as practically to amount to nothing, and,
therefore, on the 4th of September, having
obtained the approval of the President, the
Secretary directed the Chief of Engineers,
whose knowledge of this subject is more
extended than that Of any other officer of
the Government, to make allotmeuts from
the sums appropriated for various works
according to the best of his judgment,
in such a manner that the total amount
should not exceed S2000,0O0, only pro-
yiding that no new works should be begun,
and none continued that were net national
in their character In making these allot-
ments it was found that the amount desig
mated, SO, 10000 was lot quite sufficient for
the purpose of carrying on the works abso-
lutely necessary, and therefore the Chief of
Engineers, after an extended interview with
the President, was authorized in October to
increase the amount to $2,237 800. Since
that date a few cases where small sums were
urgently required, to prevent damage or to
make important examinations, have been
favorably voted upon, and possibly there may
be more of them.
The Secretary suggests that the Pres
ident had authority for his action under
the law, and authority found in the River
and Harbor bill itself. The bill was in
no way mandatory upon the President to
expend the full amount Of the appropri-
alton, nearly $5,000,000. The exercise
of his discretion was influenced by the
condition of the Treasury and the nature
of appropriation for otherpublie works
of quite as much Importance as the river
and harbor improvements.

Destruction by Ice.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. IA.
The heavy ice from the upper Monon-
gahela, which started yesterday after
noon, reached here about six O'clock this
morning, and the next few hours were
fraught with disaster and ruin to our
steamboat men and coal merchants un-
equaled in the history of Pittsburgh.
Seventy steamboats, were in the river, of
which forty-two lay at the City Wharf,
together with ten model barges. There
were numerous barges and fats tied up
at the landings, and forty, more or less,
anchored to the piers of the Birmingham
bridge, while nearly 100 laden barges
were moored on the south side. Most of
the steamboats, had steam up waiting for
the crisis, and this was about the only
preparation that could be made. The
towboat Relief was among the first of
the steam vessels to be caught in the
raging torrent A feet of heavily laden
coal barges struck it on the side, staving
it in and sinking the steamer in q
very short time. The Relief was
valued at $S, ,000 The work of destruc'
tion lasted for several hours, and was
witnessed by thousands of people who
lined the wharves and bridges Of the Mo
nongahela. The Bennett and Chieftain,
two side-wheel packets, were totally
wrecked. The tug boats r. j. Grace,
Jim Brown, Joseph Warne, Minnie Har
ris, Relief, and Alex. Foster were sunk
The Lion was carried away from the
south side, smashed up, and will proba
bly, be total loss. The steamers Char
ley Brown, /. S, Keifer, Joseph Walton
Nellie Speer. j. B, Williams and Jack
'Gumbert were damaged. The Benwood
is edged in between two abutments op
posite Glenwood. The Elizabeth wai
carried away from her moorings az Eliza
beth and slightly injured, A large numbel
of coal boats, barges, fats, etc, loaded
and empty, were swept away and lost
Coal tipples and shutes were carried away
and the damage to the coal Interest
is such that il will require tw'
months to place the mines IN running
order. All the dry docks this side o.
! Brownsville were carried away with On'
exception. The dams of the Slackwate
Navigation Company escaped with very
/ light injuries. Anything like an estimat,
| of the total loss cannot be given, but /
will be over $2,000,000. 1t is fearet
that several lives were lost, but the con
fusion on the wharves is so great that

An Affair of /" Honor

A duel was recently fought at Mary
dell, little village on the Delaware and
Maryland line, by James Gordon Bennett,
proprietor of the New York Herald,
and Frederick May, of New York. A
few days previous May had assaulted
Bennett with a cowhide in front of the
Union Club house in New York, and ac-
cording. to the (" code" blood only could
wash out the insult. The cause Of the
assault is variOusly reported. Bennett
and Miss May have been engaged for
about a year, A handsome trous-
seau had arrived from Europe and the
wedding-day had been fixed for Dec. 81.
A quarrel between the parents of Miss
May and Mr. Bennett occurred and the
latter is reported to have used language
toward the May family not particularly
commendable. The brothers of the young
lady swore vengeance, and the assault
resulted. A challenge from Bennett to
May followed, and it was accepted.
Pistols were named as the weapons, and
the principals with seconds, surgeons,
etc, met at Marydell, Three shots are
said to have been exchanged; May was
Slightly wounded, and honor" was sat
isfied. Bennett returned to New York
and May to Baltimore.
