for the grand Commission blunder. The
masses never authorized, appreciated nor
endorsed it; and though they are disap
pointed and indignant at their treatment
by leaders of whom they expected better
things, the idea that they will lose faith in
the principles aud mission of their party
and its ultimate success, is supremacy
a.idicnlous.

THE SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS.

Washington correspondence Boston Her
aid.
In the Senate chamber nobody is quite
so interesting as the great old Senator
from IIlinois--big OF body and big of
hrain-who, perhaps, brings to the senate
Il larger measure of experience and weight
(in all Senses) than ever was brought
here by new member bCf6tG- The ideal
Senatorial mind is IL great intellect,
trained long In the science of la y and
the science of government, guided by a
vigorous conscience. Senator David D:l-
Wis has such a mind and will exercise in
the senate that peculiar and admirable
kind of power that was welded since
the war, by Sumner and Schurz, and at-
ter them by Ferry, of Connecticut, who
than either of them. Ferry had . great
power of trenchant statement, and Judge
Davis has the same power, perhaps in
even superior degree. The senate has
not had enough Of this faculty in it.
Senator Christiancy, Of Michigan. so long
on the Supreme bench Of his State, Is a
superior reasoncr, and is one Of the men
who must be listened to by all of his as
sociates. He always comes right to the
point, and never wastes words. But Da-
vid Davis is much more powerful man
senate to-day. doubt if he will ever
make q speech in the senate over ton OF
fifteen minutes in length, but he will be
the most influential person in the cham
Der as long as lie remains there. Ae is
distinguished from his associates not
more BY his enormous physique than by
his political position. He is that rarest
of productions-a true independent in
ENTHUSIASTICALLY unattached to either
of the great parties, and having no ton
denotes at present towards q union with
either of them. He is noteworthy in the
SO nate chamber chiefly as q listener, and
there are few good listeners in the senate
Booth was one of the best of them before
the arrival of Judge Davis. Sumner was
the best listener in the old days and
snubbed his devoted friends often when
they had the temerity to send him card
during the session OF the senate. lie
showed that absolute and perfect devo-
ton to his dnties which ennobleet the OF
fee as few men have ever ennobled 1T.
When q debate is going on now Judge
Davis pays attention 10 everything that
il said. His body is 80 enormous that it
is difficult for him to sit long in one po
sitien. and he shifts himself about in his
chair. or Soes from one char to another,
in orrIer to find tho best listening point.
After a little time he slips down IN his
chair. extends his feet before him. and IN
this semr-1eeumbent position listens till
some other Senator begins to speak.
Judge Davis voice is exceedingly pleas
ant. He addresses tire senate I'M q quiet,
conversational tone,
and is on the best Of terms with his right
hand ncighbor, Senator lloar, Oh Massa-

THE MISSISSIPPI LEVEESs
PHILADELPHIA Record.

If any of the schemes for expending
| money in the interest of our commercial
speculations arc entitled to consideration
the appeals to tho government ter the
improvement OF the Mississippi levee
system should command an early hearing
in virtue of the strength Of tie arguments
wiich ais ddduced to surpott them. Tho
sugar 1aHds In Louisiana, which aIb made
almost valueless by the annual inunda-
tons of the river, are of sufficient extent,
if reclaimed, to supply Tire whole country
with homegrown sugar. Not only tho
sugar plantations of Louisiana would be
added to the available landed wealth Of
tho Gouhtry bit large tracts of rich allul
vial territory in the States OF Arkansas
and Mississippi capable of the most teem-
ing productions: Any legislation which
! wcnld serve ii kG5p at home SO vast an
expo ,diture of money as ann!talls goes
out of the country for imported Sugars;
is at least worth the attention of Con-
gress.
The money expended in reclaimirg the
waste lands of the Mississippi delta would
add q Dew form of productive resource to
tie list of staple Articles OF commerce.
All thD arguments by which it is custo-
mary to e1f5rue the policy of the protec.
tlve system apply to the double f6tco to
the policy Of fostering the sigdr industry
not by tariffs which fob TIT mass to bene-
tit Individuals; but by an original expen-
diture which is evenly distributed, ard
of which the whole c0i1ittry will reap the
return. 1t is urged With gtgat fotE6 that
by STRENGTHENING and deepening tho cii;tn=
nel of tho Mississippi river periodical In.
uiidations can be more effectually proven
ted than by raising its banks. This, how
ever, is a problem for engineers. The
task of Improvement is national one.
The great river is the highway of no par
ticular State. Whatever money is en-
pended In making 1t thofe easily naSiga-
ble Or in building up productive Industry
along lis banks, is expended for tho ben=
eft Of every State whose streams contri-
bate to swell its flood, from Pennsylvania
to Kansas, and from Minnesota to Texas:
